Chapter 428 Drunken Demon Tower
Chapter 428 Drunken Demon Tower
The short-tailed cat, immersed in the festive atmosphere, smiled and replied to Yun Qingyi's words, "Indeed, this year's celebration is more grand than in previous years. It seems that the Demon Emperor has encountered some great joy."
The Silver Moon Wolfhound on the other side also said cheerfully, "My brother works in the Demon Emperor's Palace. I heard that more than two months ago, several mysterious demons entered the Demon Emperor's Palace."
The short-tailed cat suddenly realized: "If that's the case, then the Demon Emperor has been in a particularly good mood since then, and has been holding grand banquets frequently."
"Ah, if the Demon Emperor is happy, then we are happy too. Perhaps he has encountered something joyful."
“That’s right,” Yun Qingyi said. “The Demon Emperor is blessed with great fortune and will surely lead our demon race to its peak one day.”
Upon hearing Yun Qingyi's words, Ji Zhaoze and Xie Xiyan's lips twitched slightly, and they nodded in agreement.
The other short-tailed cats and silver moon wolfhounds were also filled with excitement, as if they could really see that day. They felt that if Yun Qingyi and the others had taken a liking to their cubs, they must also have taken a liking to the short-tailed cat clan and the silver moon wolfhound clan.
Although these two demon clans are doing fairly well in the demon capital, because they usually work alone and have been independent in the past, few high-level demon clans are willing to take them under their command.
The demon race has recently shifted its allegiance, and to protect themselves, they must seek refuge with higher-level demons. This is why they were overjoyed when they heard Yun Qingyi and the others say they would take the children to play together.
Since the children are loved by the adults, it proves that the three adults do not dislike the Short-tailed Cat Clan and the Silver Moon Wolfhound Clan.
After walking for a while, Yun Qingyi saw a restaurant ahead and smiled at the golden kitten in her arms, "Little guy, are you hungry? Do you want some meat?"
The little short-tailed cat was immediately drawn to the restaurant. It placed its fluffy little paws on Yun Qingyi's arm and said excitedly, "Hungry, Lingling wants to eat."
The puppy in Xie Xiyan's arms also whimpered a few times, not to be outdone: "Wangcai wants to eat too."
The other short-tailed cats and silver moon wolfhounds simply stood quietly by and listened to instructions. In such situations, they would usually follow the lead of the higher-level demons.
However, they vaguely noticed a phenomenon: it seemed that Lord Golden Fox was the center of these three high-level demon clans, rather than Lord Tiger and Lord Silver Wolf, who were stronger and more powerful.
"Alright, since you all like it, let's go to the restaurant and have a seat." Yun Qingyi smiled slightly and led everyone to the Drunken Demon Restaurant.
The waiter at the entrance, who was in charge of attracting customers, immediately lit up when he saw Yun Qingyi and her group. He bowed and scurried over to greet them respectfully: "Please come in, gentlemen. Zuiyaolou has just launched some new dishes today, and we are waiting for you to try them."
Then he called out, "A private room for three people."
Two elegantly dressed demon male servants came out and politely and humbly led the way for them: "Please come in, gentlemen. The private room is on the third floor, by the window. You can enjoy the delicious food while admiring the festive scenery of the demon capital."
Yun Qingyi nodded and casually observed the interior of the restaurant.
This must be the most bustling restaurant in the city. Because of the festival, it was decorated with extra festivities. In the center, a vermilion stage was draped with red silk ribbons that fluttered in the wind. Dancers danced on it, creating a hazy, ethereal, and extremely beautiful scene.
Every twenty steps there is a screen, inside which are singing girls and musicians playing tunes. At the end of the screen is a luxurious teleportation array guarded by four demons, which leads directly to the third floor.
The two male attendants gestured respectfully, with polite and humble smiles: "Please, gentlemen."
The four demons had already stepped aside when they saw Yun Qingyi and the others from afar, and lowered their heads to wait for them to go in.
Yun Qingyi glanced at it a few times, then walked over.
Upon reaching the third floor, a maid was immediately waiting by the teleportation array. The maid was beautiful and refined, with her signature elegant smile on her face: "Please follow me, gentlemen. The private room is over here."
It must be said that the service was indeed very attentive. Yun Qingyi and the others followed along the corridor. It was very quiet here, without the noise of the hall, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.
After the maid opened the door to the private room, the group went inside.
The first thing that catches the eye is a black lacquered mother-of-pearl inlaid eight-immortal table, with brocade cushions on the chairs, and a tall table in the corner with a vase of peach blossoms.
Peach blossoms are common outside of the Demon Capital, but extremely rare in the Demon Capital, which shows that this restaurant has put a lot of thought into it.
The maid closed the door. The waiter had said there were three guests, subconsciously assuming that the short-tailed cat and the silver moon wolfhound were their servants. Although there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, he had also carefully placed extra bowls and chopsticks near the door.
Yun Qingyi picked up the jade pendant on the table; she was quite familiar with jade pendants.
Different jade pendants have different functions, and this one should be used for ordering food.
Sure enough, after lighting up the jade tablet, various dishes and their prices appeared directly above it.
"Everyone, go get your bowls and chopsticks by the door and come sit down together," Yun Qingyi said, sitting down with the kitten in her arms.
Xie Xiyan and Ji Zhaoze sat down as well, while the other short-tailed cats and silver moon wolfhounds looked terrified and flattered: "This...this won't do, sirs, you are of noble status, you absolutely cannot."
Even the usually clever and cunning short-tailed cat stuttered a bit, not to mention the three silver moon wolfhounds who just kept waving their hands and couldn't say a word.
"It's alright. Eating together creates a better atmosphere. This is an honor bestowed upon you, and also an order," Yun Qingyi said calmly, teasing the little short-tailed kitten in her arms.
Upon hearing this, the demons immediately obeyed and went to fetch bowls and chopsticks, sitting down obediently: "Yes, sirs."
Despite this, the short-tailed cat and the silver moon wolfhounds were still very moved. In situations like this, most high-level demons would only be able to serve others, and eating together would be absolutely impossible. That's why they were so apprehensive just now.
"Look, is there anything you'd like to eat?" Yun Qingyi gestured on the menu.
"Huh? Are you asking us?"
Amidst the utterly astonished gazes of the cats and dogs, Yun Qingyi nodded and said, "Since we're going to eat, it has to be something to our liking."
"We...we're not picky, anything is fine, you gentlemen can choose whatever you like."
I was already nervous about having dinner together, and now that they were ordering the food, I felt even more anxious, but also a little shocked.
"Alright then." Yun Qingyi chuckled, seeing that the kitten and puppy were not very relaxed, she didn't force them.
She looked at the golden kitten peeking out from her arms and said, "Lingling, what do you like to eat?"
Unlike adults, the kitten wasn't reserved. Its eyes lit up immediately at the mention of food, and it held up its furry paws, saying, "Lingling wants to eat fish, this, shrimp, and this big crab!"
The little wolfhound also leaned halfway out of Xie Xiyan's arms, anxiously saying, "Wangcai wants to eat meat, he wants to eat the meat from that big bone."
Xie Xiyan mischievously tugged at the puppy's rapidly wagging tail to prevent it from falling, "Does it like eating meat so much?"
With its tail grabbed, the puppy was flung back into Xie Xiyan's arms with a "duang," then climbed out again, saying, "I want meat."
