Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Li Yunlong landed at the gate very obediently, waiting quietly for Ziyuan to call people back.

At this moment, his face was filled with leisure and joy, and his heart was full of anticipation for the upcoming dinner. He had no idea of ​​the situation that was about to befall him.

Ziyuan first returned to her and Muxue's room.

When Mu Xue heard that someone was inviting her to dinner, she was so excited that she rushed out of the house cheering and came to Li Yunlong as quickly as a happy little deer, waiting to set off with joy.

Afterwards, Ziyuan went to the rooms of Jianghu Meng and Jiang He Meng, Yan Liyu and Lin Mo, Chu Cixiao and Ye Shanyu in turn to invite them.

When everyone heard about such a good thing, no one had the slightest intention of refusing. After all, being invited to dinner is not a common good thing.

In their eyes, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy delicious food.

When Li Yunlong first saw Muxue, Jianghu Meng and Jianghe Meng, he felt quite relaxed, thinking that they were just a few people and were still within his tolerance.

But when he saw Lin Mo and Yan Liyu appear, he was just slightly stunned and thought to himself: "Whatever, just six people, it's still acceptable."

However, when Chu Cixiao and Ye Shanyu came into view, his heart sank suddenly, and he instantly realized that this time he would probably have to spend a lot of money.

But since he had already promised to treat her, he could only accept it helplessly. After all, a man of honor cannot go back on his word.

At this time, it’s not that Mu Zifeng was not called, but he had not returned yet. Perhaps he was still having a dinner with those so-called high-ranking officials, or perhaps he was busy with other matters.

Li Yunlong didn't want to be seen as a stingy person, so he still followed his previous plan and went to the "high-end restaurant" where he had originally planned to take Ziyuan.

It wasn't that he was being mysterious or nosy; it was simply because the name of this restaurant was simply "High-end Restaurant."

From the outside, this restaurant looks ordinary and there is nothing special about it. It is no different from any other restaurant.

However, once you step into the restaurant, it's like entering another wonderful world, and you can immediately appreciate the "high-end" nature of this [high-end restaurant].

It turns out that the restaurant does not have waiters in the traditional sense, or to be more precise, there are no human service staff.

What is surprising is that the waiters in this restaurant are actually monkeys!

Li Yunlong's face was calm as water, and his heart was calm, as if he had expected this.

But it was quite different for the other people in the academy. It was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a strange "empty" restaurant.

Yan Liyu's curiosity piqued, and he quietly put his head close to Lin Mo's ear and whispered, "You said that the waiters here are all monkeys, so are the chefs also monkeys?

If the chef is also a monkey, it would be really interesting!"

After saying this, his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to find out what was going on.

"Uh... probably not..."

Lin Mo was stumped by Yan Liyu's sudden question. He scratched his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

After all, they all came from the countryside, and this was their first time to set foot in a prosperous and high-level city like the capital. They had never seen such a peculiar restaurant before.

"Yun Yufei, the most knowledgeable among us, didn't come, so we can't get the answer now.

You can't really catch a monkey and ask, right? How could you be so foolish? "

Lin Mo was pondering in his heart. While his thoughts were still drifting, he noticed that Yan Liyu had already lost his curiosity and shouted at a monkey: "Hey! Little monkey! Is your chef also a monkey?"

When the monkey heard Yan Liyu's cry, it squeaked a few times, and the cry echoed in the empty restaurant.

Yan Liyu looked confused, obviously not understanding what the monkey was saying. Judging from the monkey's confused eyes, it seemed that it didn't understand Yan Liyu's question either.

"Brother Lin, do you think these monkeys will steal food when the dishes are served? And...?"

Yan Liyu seemed to have opened a chatterbox, and threw questions one after another at Lin Mo like a machine gun, but Lin Mo just shook his head helplessly. He couldn't give an answer. After all, all this was a mystery to him as well.

At this time, everyone else was attracted by the monkeys and interacted and played with them with great interest.

Only Muxue, the girl who possesses the special ability to understand animals' speech, has a serious look on her face at this moment.

Her eyes were fixed on the monkeys, and her ears were carefully capturing every subtle sound they made.

Suddenly, she clearly heard a monkey complaining: "Oh, my big brother! He has been exhausted to death. Is there anyone who can save me? I may die before my monkey life is even halfway through. Alas!"

Mu Xue's face changed instantly, and she fell into a tangled struggle.

"What should I do? Should I tell Sister Ziyuan? No, no, I've already troubled Sister Ziyuan enough times. I'd better not cause trouble for her. It's better to have less trouble than more..." She weighed the pros and cons in her mind, her brows furrowed, and her eyes revealed a hint of worry and uneasiness.

Just as Muxue was daydreaming, delicious dishes were served on the table one after another.

Li Yunlong spent a lot of money on this banquet and ordered the most expensive dishes on the menu.

As the deputy chief of the Golden Armor Army, he received a generous annual salary. Although the expenses this time were huge, enough to consume his two-year salary, he thought to himself that as long as he could make the person he "liked" happy, money was nothing but external things.

"Anyway, I don't plan on buying anything with the money I saved, so I'll just spend it. I don't feel bad about it! It's only for two years!" He kept comforting himself in his heart, but he still had that generous smile on his face.

Mu Xue looked at the table full of delicious food, but she had no appetite at all. In fact, an inexplicable feeling of nausea came over her.

She also heard the question Yan Liyu asked Lin Mo just now, and now she already had a rough answer in her mind.

"The people cooking in the kitchen are probably monkeys too. Exploiting these animals for money is despicable! If I had seen this food before, I would have already devoured it, but this time, I just can't muster up any appetite!"

A trace of anger and reluctance flashed in her eyes, and her hands were clenched tightly together. She was full of resistance to the seemingly delicious food in front of her.

In reality, eating monkeys is illegal, so please remember to abide by the law if you cannot eat monkeys!
