Chapter 27: Sneaking into a Restaurant as a Waiter (1)

Seeing that, Mo Youyou rolled her eyes at the man, then turned and walked to the most prosperous place in the Ming You Kingdom. Along the way, she scolded the adult man in her heart countless times for looking down on people! When she, Mo Youyou, becomes the boss of this street, she would ask the man for more protection fees.

However, her thoughts would probably never come true. After all, Prince Jing will not let her go out to make a fool of herself.

Not far behind Mo Youyou, a luxurious carriage was slowly approaching.

Within the carriage was an extremely devilish looking man with a figure that was as white as snow, and he held his forehead with one hand.

After the carriage arrived at the candied fruits stall, the driver turned around and asked the man inside:

“Young Master, do you still want to buy candied fruits?”

The man frowned deeply as he suddenly opened his eyes. His pitch-black pupils flashed with gentleness. The corners of his mouth curling up as he smiled and said:

“Buy! Take them all. Little Sister Rong’er will surely like it a lot.”

Then he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Mo Youyou caressed her lower abdomen, continuously worrying about her candied fruits. Looking up and scanning her surroundings, she hummed: “Everyone says that the candied fruits are sour, and they are sweet inside …” She was happy and at ease.

Suddenly a girl called out to Mo Youyou. “Young Master! Young Master, should come and visit us!”

Mo Youyou looked up towards the voice, only to see eight ladies dressed in colorful dresses waving a silk handkerchief in their hands. Mo Youyou’s eyes flashed with shock, and her heart started beating extremely hard.

Mo Youyou spoke to herself, “What is this? Could it be an ancient brothel? And wow! All of them are beauties. Maybe I should go up and play for a bit?”

Thinking, Mo Youyou unintentionally smiled, making her two canines show, adding a little more cuteness to her as her thumb and forefinger moved back and forth.

At that moment, Mo Youyou truly wanted to go in and take a look, but upon remembered that she was penniless, she frowned again. After hesitating for a long time, the girl’s hooking clouded her mind and quickly walked into the restaurant.

The familiar carriage halted outside the restaurant very quickly. The man in the carriage leisurely got off and looked up at the second floor with his peach blossom eyes. The ladies upstairs screamed in admiration.

The man gave a charming smile and winked at the girls upstairs. He looked away and glanced at the restaurant’s shining name “Twilight” before walking in.

Rather than saying that Mo Youyou strolled in, it would be better to say that she squeezed in. There were too many people lining up at the restaurant that she no longer had a place to stand. After squeezing into a corner, Mo Youyou sat down with great difficulty. Taking a deep breath, Mo Youyou cleared her throat before opening her mouth to ask the guest at her table.

“My friend, may I know what’s happening in this restaurant? Why are there so many people?”

The man dressed in plain robes sized Mo Youyou up. When he saw that she was handsome, he replied:

“Little brother, you seem to be from outside the city?”

Mo Youyou nodded, and the man smiled.

“This place here is one of the most famous restaurants in the Ming You Kingdom. There’s a peerless beauty in this restaurant that would only appear on the seventh day of the seventh month every year for two hours. She would drink and talk to the people she liked. But after some time, she would disappear without a trace.”

Mo Youyou was curious, “Why only two hours? Does she have a man that she likes?”

“Nobody knows. Commoner people like us can only get a glimpse of her beautiful face. The ones who can get close to her are those nobles and royalties.”

Mo Youyou understood and nodded her head, while the man in front of her started to enjoy himself.

“Don’t you know that beauty has the grace of a god, proficiency in poetry, zither, calligraphy, and painting? It’s too bad that she’s like an epiphyllum flower, a beauty that instantly disappears from this continent.”

So there’s indeed such a goddess in the world. Her current beauty is already considered one of the top, yet that fairy reached a higher height than her! Since she was already outside, she might as well wait for a day and take a good look.

Seeing her thinking, the guest waved the fan in front of Mo Youyou’s eyes.

“Little brother! Hey! Little brother?”

Mo Youyou was stupefied for a moment before she awkwardly laughed.

“Sigh! You’re the first man I’ve ever met who isn’t interested in beauties. Thinking about the nobles of the Ming You Kingdom and the other two nations, which one of them would not wait year after year to see such beauty? It’s a good thing that it’s the seventh day of the seventh month tomorrow. Looking at today’s guest, how many friends from all over the world could have gathered here? And their goal is only to catch a glimpse of that beauty!”

Hearing that, Mo Youyou suddenly remembered something. Since ancient times, beauties were the bane of disasters. And it seems that there was indeed some logic to it.

So many men had come in today only to see a woman. Mo Youyou looked up at the sky, speechless. Holding a teacup in her hand, she sized up the situation of the entire restaurant.

Mo Youyou discovered from the man opposite her that Twilight was the most spacious and luxurious establishment in the whole Ming You Kingdom.

The first floor is the restaurant’s main hall. A large stage occupied the center of the room, where the dancers could showcase their skills and talents. The hall houses over seventy sets of tables, enough to accommodate 300 people! Meanwhile, the second floor was the place where guests and dancing courtesans “communicated” with each other. Of course, not all dancing courtesans only sold their talent and not their bodies.

The third floor was an “ephemeral” restricted area, where no guests other than royalty were allowed to enter. Otherwise, other than death, there is no other way to survive.”

And she never imagined that an acquaintance of her would be here at this very restaurant.

In the private room on the third floor, dressed in black, Helian Yi stood near the window alone. With his hands behind his back, he calmly surveyed the place. His face was blank, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
