Crossing the Star Railway: The Beginning of the Starry Sky Twins

Chapter 450 Freeloaders

"You can be released from prison now."

A soldier opened the door of Xing's cell and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. Although I didn't see you fighting with Hu Lei, our skills and bodies were not damaged, thanks to you."

Wu Ben smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Xing.

"It's just a piece of cake. I'm sure anyone who is capable will help when they see this situation."

As Xing spoke, he put on a righteous look and walked out of the cell under the grateful gazes of several soldiers.

"Hey, they have us to thank."

After leaving the prison, Qiong immediately became secretly happy.

"I'm finally out. It's been a tough time."

Bronya couldn't help but sigh. She thought this was just an ordinary martial arts and fitness training, but she didn't expect it to be so bizarre.

"That Miss Jingliu seems to know the benefactor? Logically speaking, we don't exist in this world."

Tingyun asked Xing.

"I encountered Mirror Flow in the secret realm before, but she disappeared afterwards. I thought it was just an image, but it seems it's not that simple."

"That's really strange... It's also possible that we never left this secret realm from the beginning, but it just changed its form."

"So we can say we have reached the second level, right?"

Qiong interrupted.

"The second level... this metaphor is quite apt."

Tingyun nodded slightly.

After all, Fu Xuan also said that this secret realm is full of dangers.

But in the previous island forest, no one felt anything.

"So, isn't this second level more dangerous?"

Bronya became alert for a moment.

"Hey, no matter how dangerous it is, it's still Luofu, how dangerous can it be? Haven't we solved the problem of being imprisoned in the Prison? Maybe we can pass the second level too."

Qiong spread his hands and said optimistically.

"Luckily, San Yue Qi is not here. If she had said that, we would have really been on our guard."

Xing laughed and joked.

"That's true~"

Qiong nodded in response.

Everyone burst into laughter at once.

A beautiful girl who was shopping in Luofu with her two young masters sneezed immediately.

"Since Jingliu said he would come back to see us later, then we..."

As Qiong spoke, he pulled the corner of Xing's clothes and pointed in the direction of Jinren Street.

Xing naturally understood what Qiong meant. In prison, he ate only vegetables and tofu with occasional meat every day, which made his mouth taste dry.

I finally understand what Bai Lu feels like when she's greedy.

"Let's go, forget about it, and eat!"

Xing waved his hand, and the three girls immediately followed happily.

All the way to Jinren Lane, Xing actually saw an acquaintance again.

"That seems to be the short auntie, right? How many years has she been doing this..."

Qiong stared in surprise at the short aunt who was soliciting customers.

“It shows that she really likes running a restaurant.”

Xing nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"What would you like to eat, my four guests? Just let me know when you've ordered."

The short aunt raised the menu and placed it on the table. Then she served a pot of tea and hurriedly went to serve other tables.

“Wow, hahaha…”

Qiong stared at the menu with shining eyes and her mouth was almost watering.

"Qiong, be more restrained..."

Seeing this, Bronya quickly took out a tissue and covered the corners of Qiong's mouth.

"What should I do? I want to eat..."

Qiong looked through the menu with a confused look on her face.

"Order whatever you want. If you can't finish it, just eat it up."

Xing waved his hand and said generously.

"Yeah, love you~"

Qiong chuckled when he heard that, and then called over the short aunt.

Three women and one man ordered eight dishes and one soup.

"Um... Sir, can you eat so much? Our dishes are very generous."

The short aunt looked at the menu and reminded Qiong.

"It's not like I don't have... It's okay, if you can't finish it, just pack it up."

Qiong was just about to say that it’s not like he had eaten at Meizhuan Pavilion before, so how big the dishes were?

But when he thought that the timeline didn't seem right, he stopped talking.

"Well, please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon."

Seeing this, the short aunt nodded and went to the kitchen.

Qiong continued to look through the menu, swinging her legs.

"Come to think of it, this price is much cheaper than what I saw before..."

"After all, it's normal that prices were cheap more than 700 years ago."

Tingyun nodded.

"Cheap is good, although we don't really care whether it's cheap or not."

Qiong raised the corner of his mouth in a very Versailles way.

"That little girl is lucky enough to get some benefit from it~"

Tingyun laughed, but then his smile froze and he slowly turned his face to Xing.

"My benefactor...I suddenly remembered that our personal belongings were taken away before we entered the secret realm, right?"

"!"

"!"

"!!!"

Hearing this, exclamation marks instantly appeared above the three people's heads.

Xing subconsciously touched his pocket, but there was nothing inside.

Oh no, I was so careless that I really thought this place was Luofu and forgot that it was a secret place.

"That... short aunt."

Xing stretched out his hand and greeted him somewhat awkwardly.

"What can I do for you, sir? Did you forget to order something to drink? Would you like to try our specialty drinks?"

The short aunt walked up and asked enthusiastically.

"I just wanted to ask if the dish just now is ready. If not..."

Before Xing finished speaking, he saw two helpers coming up behind the short aunt, carrying large plates.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. There are a lot of customers today, so the process is a little slow."

The short aunt said this with a smile, then waved her hand, and eight dishes and a soup were served.

"..."

Staring at the table full of delicious food, Xing fell silent. He even said he would find a reason to quit, but what kind of reason would he give up?

"Wow, what's up with the amount of food? There weren't so many before?"

Qiong was shocked when he saw the plate in front of him that was bigger than his head.

"Sir, you are wrong. The portions of dishes in our Cuisine Pavilion have always been this large."

When Qiong heard this, he couldn't help but look at her with suspicion.

"Don't worry, the food may go out of business, but it will never go bad!"

The short aunt said this and patted her chest.

In response, Qiong just showed an intriguing expression.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal. I will tell you if you need anything else."

The short aunt left after she finished speaking.

Qiong looked at the food in front of him and then looked at Xing.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Then he picked up the chopsticks.

"Qiong... now that you've moved the chopsticks, won't it be even more difficult for us to retreat?"

Bronya said quickly upon seeing this.

"I've already started, so I can't back out. Why don't I just eat first and let Xing figure out a solution?"

Qiong was really hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks and started showing off.

Tingyun thought it made sense, so he stopped worrying and started eating with Qiong.

The two of them were eating and exchanging small essays about food.

Bronya couldn't help herself after being tempted like this.

"Xing, eat first. If we can't get a job, we can work for them to pay off the debt."

Bronya advised quietly.

"It can only be the..."

Xing had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks.

The four of them discussed a solution while eating.

From eating and free meals to running away from the bill to how many plates should be washed to cover the cost of the meal, the four people had a heated discussion.

"By the way, benefactor, didn't Miss Jingliu say that she would come back to see you after finishing important matters? Why not let Miss Jingliu come with you then, and then..."

As soon as Tingyun came up with this little plan, Qiong nodded immediately.

"Yeah, then you don't have to worry about it. How about having a few more drinks?"

Qiong immediately slapped the table and said.

"What if it takes them two or three days to deal with it? Can we still eat here for two or three days?"

Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes.

For a moment, everyone was in trouble again.

The group ate slowly for more than an hour, and had almost finished all eight dishes, leaving the short aunt on the side dumbfounded.

After all, even four grown men would have a hard time finishing this table of food. How could these three beauties and one handsome guy eat so much?

"How was the meal, gentlemen?"

Seeing that everyone at the table had almost finished eating and most of the guests at other tables had left, the short aunt came over and asked enthusiastically.

"It's not enough, add two more dishes."

Qiong pointed at the menu and said bluntly.

"sharp."

Upon hearing this, the short aunt couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Only after the short aunt left did the four of them start chatting.

"Why are you adding more dishes? Aren't you supposed to tell the truth?"

Bronya asked speechlessly.

"I...I'm sorry..."

Qiong scratched her head shyly.

"You're not polite at all for adding more dishes. Looks like we'll have to wash the dishes for another two hours."

Tingyun sighed slightly.

Just when everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard a voice behind them.

"Boss, order."

"Okay, Brother Ying Xing, why don't you eat so late today?"
