As night falls and the city lights come on, the dazzling lights adorn Hong Kong Island, making it look like a dream.
Three women and one man sat leisurely in the Peninsula Hotel's Grand Lisboa restaurant. They were on one side of the chef's table on the second floor, surrounded by the faint aroma of delicious food.
Chef Liang Shenlong and his kitchen team are busy preparing the meal in an orderly manner.
Before long, one exquisite dish after another was served on the table.
The Osmanthus Pear Black Vinegar Ribs are bright red and tempting, with crispy outside and tender inside. They are cleverly combined with sweet and sour Osmanthus Pear and black vinegar, giving off a unique aroma.
Shrimp, bamboo shoots, and pomelo peel stew: The pomelo peel absorbs the umami flavor of the shrimp and bamboo shoots, resulting in a soft and chewy texture and a rich and mellow broth.
Peking duck has crispy skin like paper and tender, juicy meat. Paired with thin pancakes, scallions, cucumber, and a special sauce, each bite is full of rich layers and a strong aroma.
Steamed crab claws with fish soup and egg white: The crab claws are plump and meaty, and the fish soup and egg white enhance their freshness and tenderness.
Jialinlou's "Prosperous Chicken" is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an irresistible aroma. Every bite seems to bring you the charm of traditional cooking.
Steamed rice with crab claws and garlic in a bamboo steamer: the rice absorbs the sweetness of the crab claws and the aroma of the garlic, making each grain plump and appetizing.
Crab meat and golden thread rice noodles: the sweetness of the crab meat and the smoothness of the rice noodles complement each other perfectly, and with the carefully prepared soup, the taste is simply superb.
Lemon-scented snow fungus and lily bulb stewed with snow pear is sweet and refreshing, adding a touch of freshness to this culinary feast.
Brown sugar honeycomb cake has a soft and chewy texture. The sweet aroma of brown sugar and the unique honeycomb shape are eye-catching.
This meal was not only a treat for the taste buds, but also a feast for the eyes and nose. Including the tip, the total cost was HKD.
For the three girls, Ah Lian, Ah Zhi, and Ah Yu, this was their first time dining at this restaurant, which is hailed as the pinnacle of Chinese cuisine on Hong Kong Island.
Despite their immense excitement, they tried their best to maintain their composure and present an elegant image, though their slightly restrained movements revealed their nervousness and excitement.
After dinner, Cheng drove Ayu home.
When they arrived at Ayu's building, they ran into Li Jin, who had just returned from get off work.
When Li Jin saw Cheng Yi and A Yu together, his eyes immediately became wary, and he questioned Cheng Yi.
Fortunately, with Ah Lian and Ah Zhi there to vouch for Cheng Yi, Li Jin was finally able to relax and believe that Cheng Yi had no ill intentions towards his precious daughter.
However, before leaving, Cheng Yi, out of tenderness and care, subconsciously patted A Yu's head gently.
This seemingly ordinary action made Li Jin tense up again. He widened his eyes and shouted, "What do you think you're doing? Let go of my daughter right now, or I'll strike you dead with a palm strike!"
Cheng Yi looked at A Yu's flushed face and her resolute expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
But when he looked at A-Lian and A-Zhi beside him, reason prevailed and he suppressed that ulterior motive.
Ayu pouted, looking a little reluctant, and followed Li Jin upstairs, turning back every step of the way with her eyes full of longing.
A-Lian and A-Zhi stood on either side of Cheng Yi, watching this scene, and couldn't help but laugh happily. They even made a promise to go to the department store together in a couple of days to pick out cosmetics.
Seeing that it was still early, Cheng Yi decided to take the two women to buy roast goose from Shenjing for Lin Ying and Ma Jiuying.
They strolled along the street, which was bustling with people.
However, before they even reached the roast goose shop, Cheng Yi's phone suddenly rang. It was Lin Feng calling.
Lin Feng said smugly on the other end of the phone that he was currently on the rooftop of Roland's building, having just performed a ritual for her. He had done his best and completely won over Ms. Roland.
Ms. Roland was full of admiration for his abilities and had already agreed without hesitation to sell the top floor of the building to Cheng Yi at the reserve price. They even arranged to sign the transaction contract the next morning.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi was overjoyed.
Considering that Ah Lian was unwell and had started her period, he first took her to the villa and told her to rest early.
Urged on by A-Lian, Cheng Yi finally led A-Zhi towards the traditional Chinese medicine shop.
When they arrived at the Chinese medicine shop, Cheng Yi escorted Azhi inside. A girl in a green bodycon skirt, carrying a bottle of liquor, staggered over.
Her eyes were glazed over, and she mumbled incoherently, "Ah Zhi, you're back so late? I've been waiting for you for ages. Come and have a drink with me."
Ah Zhi looked at her with concern in her eyes and said, "Ah May, why are you drinking? What happened?"
Then, she introduced him to Cheng Yi: "This is my good friend, Luo Peishan. You can call her Ah May."
Ah May glanced at Cheng Yi through her drunken eyes and said indistinctly, "Who is he? Boyfriend? Let me tell you, Ah Zhi, a man's words are deceitful, you can't trust them."
Cheng Yi looked at Ah May, who had a face like the short-haired goddess Yuan Jieying, and smiled gently, saying, "What you said makes sense, but we should always give it a try. What if we run into a good person?"
Ah May snorted, put the bottle to her lips, took a big gulp of liquor, and shouted, "Good people? Good people are all gone. Where are the good people? They're all liar bastards!"
Seeing her drunken state, Ah Zhi felt heartbroken and quickly helped her sit down by the roadside.
May seemed unable to hold back her grievances any longer and burst into tears, crying as she said, "Ah Zhi, that bastard, he lied to me so badly, he actually ran away secretly."
Ah Zhi gently hugged her, letting her cry in her arms, while softly comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be sad, this kind of person isn't worth you being so heartbroken."
May cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face, cursing the heartless man as she sobbed. Zhi joined in, trying to vent her anger and pain in this way.
Cheng smiled as he watched the two women take turns cursing the unfaithful man, then casually picked up the beer bottle that Ah May had placed aside and started drinking beer as well.
He finished the bottle of wine in just a few gulps. Ah May then noticed that the bottle was empty, so she stood up, staggered, and pulled Ah Zhi along, saying indistinctly, "Come on, let's go up to the rooftop and have a good drink."
Helpless, Ah Zhi could only half-support and half-carry her up to the rooftop.
As soon as I got to the rooftop, I saw two cases of beer there. It seemed that Ah May had been drinking alone up there for a while.
Time passed slowly in this atmosphere. Cheng Yi was with them when he suddenly felt a chilling wind coming from behind him, the coldness of which seemed to penetrate to the bone.
He instantly became alert and turned around sharply to look behind him. He saw two ghosts, one big and one small, floating up to the rooftop and standing quietly behind him, their eyes fixed on the drunken Ah May.
Upon closer inspection, Cheng Yi realized that the female ghost dressed in ancient costume looked very familiar. She was Ali from the previous world, the one who loved to call out her husband's name in bed.
I've never seen that kid before, but in the movie he's a clumsy little boy who doesn't seem threatening and isn't worth paying too much attention to.
When the female ghost saw Cheng Yi turn around and look at her, she looked shocked and stammered, "You, you can see me?"
Cheng nodded and said seriously, "I'll protect this woman's life. Go and find someone else."
A cold glint flashed in the female ghost's eyes, sharp as a blade, and she said in a cold voice, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business?"
Cheng Yi smiled slightly, her tone calm and composed: "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you can't beat me."
As he spoke, he quickly gathered power in his right sword-finger gesture, and the powerful Buddhist energy of the unity of all Buddhas instantly condensed and blessed him.
The female ghost sensed this powerful force, screamed in fright, and quickly grabbed the child, retreating rapidly.
She glanced at Ah May with resentment, but ultimately had no choice but to fly away into the distance and disappear into the darkness.
Looking back at Ah May, perhaps because Ah Zhi was by her side drinking heavily and cursing that scumbag, she had vented her emotions and no longer had the thought of jumping off the building to commit suicide.
His eyes, already somewhat intoxicated, became even brighter with each drink, fueled by the alcohol, and his curses grew louder.
However, Ah Zhi next to her gradually lost her strength, her eyes became blurry with drunkenness, and her consciousness began to fade.
Just then, footsteps came from the entrance of the rooftop corridor, breaking the somewhat chaotic atmosphere.
Two men who looked somewhat familiar slowly walked over. One of them, who looked a lot like Scarface from the movie "School on Fire," shouted, "Who is Luo Peishan?"
Upon hearing the sound, Cheng immediately walked over and asked with a cold expression, "What are you going to do?"
Another man glanced at Cheng Yi sideways and said irritably, "What? Collecting debts."
Cheng Yi frowned slightly and said, "How much? I'll pay."
The man looked him up and down suspiciously and said, "You owe a principal of 3, and with interest compounding, it now amounts to 28."
Upon hearing this, Cheng reached into his pocket, pulled out a wad of banknotes, and handed them to him.
Scarface took it, counted it carefully, and after confirming that the amount was correct, he took out the IOU from his pocket, handed it to Cheng Yi, and turned to leave.
Another man quickly reached out to stop him, saying, "Wait a minute, don't rush."
He then glanced around with hostility before yelling at Cheng Yi, "Hey kid, who are you? Meddling in other people's business?"
Cheng Yi's lips curled into a cold smile as he retorted, "What? You came here to collect debts, and I'm paying you back what you owe? Is that wrong?"
The man's face flushed red, and he shouted, "What's it to you? I'm looking for Luo Peishan."
Cheng Yi snorted coldly and said, "What? You've taken the money and aren't leaving? Are you looking for trouble?"
The man glared at Cheng Yi and said viciously, "I wouldn't say I'm looking for trouble, but I just don't like the look of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a gleaming knife appeared in his hand without anyone noticing. He shouted, "Splitting Mount Hua with might!" and slashed down fiercely at Cheng Yi's head. The blade whistled through the air, and the attack was extremely vicious.
Cheng Yi neither dodged nor evaded, but instead activated the Supreme Dragon Elephant Primordial Prajna Technique. His true energy surged into his entire body like a torrent, and a cloud of white mist instantly emerged from his body, enveloping him within it.
The knife struck his head as if it were striking worn-out leather; it not only failed to injure him in the slightest, but also caused the man's arm to throb with intense pain, and he couldn't help but cry out "Ah!"
Upon seeing this, the man was greatly alarmed, but he was unwilling to give up. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and a flash of light appeared on the tip of his knife, instantly unleashing several sharp blades that pierced towards Cheng Yi's chest like the spitting tongue of a venomous snake.
Cheng Yi remained calm, and with a sudden flick of his right hand, the blade flashed like snow. With a "thud," a head rolled to the ground, splattering blood everywhere.
"The God of Slaughter's One-Slash Slash: Snow Falls Upon the Mortal World," is an ultimate skill from the TV series "The World's Number One," featuring the character Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami. This sword technique is characterized by its fierce and domineering strikes, its indestructible nature, and its endless variations, creating a sky full of snow-like sword light.
A system notification suddenly rang in Cheng Yi's mind: "Punisher, you have killed the Legendary World player Anquan. You have gained 100 system energy points, 1000 hours of life time, and the special item of the player Anquan: Horse Card."
Immediately afterwards, the system prompted: "Punisher, your mount has gained the ability to transform into a black horse. Enjoy the feeling of riding a horse and driving!"
Cheng Yi was secretly delighted. Hey, this player has given me a good thing!
He looked up at Scarface, whose face was deathly pale and filled with terror, and gave a playful smile. He slowly said, "What? You don't like me either?"
Scarface was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head, his body uncontrollably retreating step by step, as if Cheng Yi were some kind of monster. In the end, he scrambled away and fled.
Suddenly, Cheng Yi's shoulder was gently embraced by a pair of fair and delicate arms. He was slightly startled and turned around to see Ah May.
She stared at the player's corpse gradually disappearing from the ground, her voice trembling with fear as she asked, "Where did his body go? What happened?"
Cheng Yi lowered his head, looked at Ah Zhi who was leaning against the wall and fast asleep, gently put his arm around Ah May's slender waist, and said in a seemingly calm tone, "I don't know who they are either, maybe they are ghosts or something?"
Ah May pressed on, "And what about you?"
"I am a Taoist priest, specializing in exorcising demons and monsters."
"Are they here to collect a debt, or...?"
"I don't know. There might be people who collect debts, but judging from the fact that this guy took the money and didn't leave, he probably wants both the money and the person."
May bit her lip and said bitterly, "Men are all bastards."
Cheng Yi couldn't resist reaching out and pinching her nose. This was the game he and Dai Zhuoyi loved to play most in the world of gangsters.
Ah May tried to dodge, but failed and was caught red-handed. However, she didn't feel much resentment, perhaps because he had just paid off her debt.
