The next day, after finishing breakfast, Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Lengan out to explore. The two remained low-key, opting not to bring anyone along and simply traveled like an ordinary couple.
However, they still wore masks. While not concerned about being recognized, it was a precautionary measure to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In the Hidden World, many preferred not to reveal their true identities. Hence, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan didn’t stand out much. Despite the masks, the exposed half of their faces and their overall demeanor attracted attention. Even a simple stroll on the streets managed to capture the curiosity of onlookers.
Yet, few dared to stare at them. People in the Hidden World were more perceptive compared to the mortal world. Many powerful individuals disliked being scrutinized. To avoid offense, no one casually stared at others.
Ye Lengan led Huangfu Ruiling through the streets, weaving through the crowds. Although she had explored once yesterday, doing so with Huangfu Ruiling today was an entirely new experience.
Huangfu Ruiling allowed Ye Lengan to lead, his eyes filled with indulgence. It seemed in his eyes, only she existed; others couldn’t catch his attention. This focused and warm affection stirred envy among nearby girls. Every girl desired such intense love, especially from a seemingly powerful and outstanding man who only had eyes for her. How could one not be moved? Yet, despite the allure, none dared to act. This couple clearly wasn’t to be trifled with.
After a morning of exploration, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an didn’t return to the Huangfu family. They planned to head back after the auction in the evening.
So, at noon, the two entered a restaurant, intending to have lunch.
Observing the quaint restaurant, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but marvel, “Everything here is truly different from the mortal world! If not for the modern attire, I might have thought I transmigrated to ancient times!”
It could be said that if TV dramas and movies could be filmed here, the effects would be top-notch. Of course, this was just a fleeting thought, impossible to actualize. Besides, entry into the Hidden World wasn’t something easily done.
“The offerings in this restaurant are commendable,” explained Huangfu
Ruiling, “especially the spirit beast meat; this place is renowned for it.”
In the Hidden World, many sold spirit beast meat from the mountains and forests. Some even kept spirit beasts as pets.
Unlike the cultivation world, the spirit beasts here lacked strength.
Consequently, no one retrieved spirit beasts for combat assistance; they were at most kept as pets.
“I’ll definitely give it a try.” Ye Lengan nodded. “l wonder if the chefs here or those from the Huangfu family are superior.”
Over the past few days in the Huangfu family, she had already tasted spirit beast meat. Unlike ordinary poultry, spirit beasts carried a faint spiritual aura.
However, if not prepared well, it could be excessively gamey. Yet, the chefs from the Huangfu family did an excellent job, eliminating any trace of gaminess and leaving only a delicate fragrance.
“They each have their distinct features!” Huangfu Ruiling smiled. ‘You’ll find out once you taste it.”
Entering the restaurant, it was lunchtime, so there were many patrons. Fortunately, they were guided to the last available private room.
However, just as the waiter was about to lead them to the private room, a clear voice came from behind.
“Manager, reserve a private room for me.”
Hearing the request, the manager looked at the person apologetically. “Miss Ye, all our private rooms are currently occupied. I apologize; we can offer you a quieter table in the main hall.”
Hearing the words from behind, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but smile with interest..
