Chapter 625: You Were Born for the Cowherd Profession
Lin Qiye and You Lina exchanged a glance, and after a moment, they nodded.
They had no money on them and looked like beggars; where could they go for a meal in the middle of the night? Even if there were places still open, they couldn’t just walk in and eat without paying, could they?
Not to mention setting a bad example for You Lina, Lin Qiye, the captain of the Fifth Special Team of the Great Xia Night Watch, a disciple of the Sword Saint, would lose face if word got out that he ate without paying in Japan.
If it were just Lin Qiye, he definitely wouldn’t go out to eat; after all, with his current physique, he wouldn’t get hungry so quickly. But You Lina was still a child, and she needed to eat.
Seeing Lin Qiye nod in agreement, the uncle turned and walked toward the brightly lit street.
“Come along.”
Lin Qiye and You Lina followed him, walking past the main street of Dotonbori. You Lina looked around at the bustling and vibrant shops, her big eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
The three of them turned down several streets, gradually leaving the bustling main road, and finally stopped in front of a two-story shop on a relatively secluded corner.
The shop was not small, and the decor was decent, but the foot traffic was sparse, making it feel particularly deserted. Lin Qiye looked up at the flickering neon sign, his brow slightly raised.
— “Black Phoenix” CLUB.
The moment You Lina saw the sign, she seemed to realize something, and her expression suddenly stiffened.
In contrast, Lin Qiye felt nothing about the name of the shop. He stepped through the elegantly decorated entrance, walked up the blue-black illuminated staircase to the second floor. You Lina gritted her teeth and followed him up.
The second floor was a black-and-gold themed bar and restaurant, with seemingly independent private rooms, but there were no customers at all. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows next to the restaurant faced the busiest main street, and under the pitch-black sky, the dazzling neon lights cast a unique charm on the restaurant walls.
“Hello.”
As soon as they reached the second floor, a young man in a white shirt respectfully bowed, his golden hair particularly striking in the dim light.
“Xiao Jin, these two are not customers; they are a pair of siblings who ran away from home. I brought them back to eat something,” the uncle waved his hand and said, “Is there still food in the kitchen?”
Xiao Jin was taken aback. “Yes.”
“I’ll go make another serving of rice. You find them a place to sit… Ah, no, you take that sister to find a place to sit, and then take the brother to the back room to wash up and change into clean clothes.”
The uncle saw Lin Qiye, who was still dripping wet, and felt a bit sorry for his floor, speaking to Xiao Jin.
Wash up?
Lin Qiye was taken aback.
What kind of restaurant is this? Why is there a washing room?
You Lina’s expression became subtle.
“Don’t misunderstand; we are a legitimate establishment,” the uncle noticed the confusion in Lin Qiye’s eyes and explained, “Because sometimes customers drink too much and vomit on us, to avoid affecting the experience of other customers, we specially prepared a washing room.”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully.
To be honest, this bar really pays attention to details… But why would customers vomit on them after drinking too much?
Xiao Jin found a window-side seat for You Lina and then led Lin Qiye through several private rooms to the innermost small room, saying:
“Wash up in here. Our body types are similar; I’ll go get you some dry clothes to wear.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Qiye opened the door and walked into the bathroom.
He wasn’t worried about these two doing anything sneaky while he was gone; after all, his spiritual power had already covered the entire establishment, keeping a constant watch on their movements. Even if they had any malicious intent, Lin Qiye could react immediately.
He quickly rinsed off, removing all the odors from the river water, then took the red shirt and sequined suit jacket that Xiao Jin handed him and put them on.
As Xiao Jin said, their body types were indeed similar, and the clothes fit well… But Lin Qiye didn’t know why, looking at himself in the mirror, he always felt something was off.
Lin Qiye shook his head and pushed the door open.
Xiao Jin, who was waiting outside, was about to say something, but upon seeing Lin Qiye, he froze in place.
…
At this moment, the uncle had already prepared another serving of pork chop rice and placed it on the table, while You Lina sat in front of her pork chop rice, staring intently at the fragrant dish, swallowing repeatedly.
“Little girl, why aren’t you eating? If you don’t eat soon, it’ll get cold,” the uncle asked, puzzled by You Lina’s demeanor.
You Lina shook her head. “I’ll eat when my brother comes.”
You Lina was very hungry, but she controlled her urge to eat, sitting upright because she wasn’t sure if these two had put anything in the food.
She didn’t trust them; she only trusted Lin Qiye. Only when Lin Qiye told her it was okay to eat would she eat.
Lin Qiye’s footsteps approached from the side. The uncle turned his head, ready to say something, but upon seeing Lin Qiye, he was momentarily stunned, his mind going blank…
Now, Lin Qiye had washed off the dirt on his face, revealing his handsome and cool features. The fitted sequined suit jacket perfectly accentuated his well-proportioned figure, long yet powerful, making it hard for people to look away.
What was most striking was the slightly damp black hair falling beside his eyes, his deep gaze holding a glimmer of light, exuding an inexplicable noble aura, like a lofty emperor, transcendent and ethereal.
Under the influence of the essence of the night, Lin Qiye himself didn’t realize that his aura was slowly approaching that of Nyx… Of course, this wasn’t about becoming feminine, but rather a closeness in temperament.
The uncle stared at Lin Qiye for a long time before coming back to his senses, his eyes filled with unprecedented shock!
“Incredible!” he shook his head slightly, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing, “Appearance, temperament, charm… there really are people like you! You are a genius, an absolute genius!”
“Genius?” Lin Qiye was somewhat baffled. “What are you talking about?”
“You are a once-in-a-decade genius in the host industry!” The uncle quickly stepped forward, grabbing Lin Qiye’s wrist, excitedly saying, “I never expected that one day I would see such a genius standing in front of me! Young man, you must stay! If you leave, it will be the most painful loss for the host industry in nearly a decade!
Everything about you is perfect; you are simply born for the host industry!
I can already foresee that a dazzling new star in the host industry is rising!”
