Chapter 228: Chapter 88 Is Shiratori Nozomi an Old Courtesan?
Chen Ze scratched his head; the Moonlight dessert was already ready, and he had to say that his original creation once again demonstrated its consistent prowess. The hot pot was also served.
However, what was extremely strange was that the woman only took one bite, a real one-bite. Her cherry-like lips slightly parted, then she bit off a small piece, and after that, she stopped eating??
This really annoyed Chen Ze; it was as if she was saying, "Your cooking skills are lacking; you’re just a little brother."
Chen Ze thought that this was not ancient times when Emperors would taste a dish with just one bite—it was the modern era.
But then he remembered his own mysterious and unpredictable restaurant, and Chen Ze found himself at a loss for words because if it was his restaurant, then anything happening could be understood.
Forget about Emperors, even Gods drink cola here, what’s an Emperor in comparison? ƒrēewebnovel.com
With that thought, Chen Ze’s mood improved quite a bit, but he still went out since the woman had already settled the bill.
Chen Ze checked his phone, excluding the time for cooking, and found that this woman had set the record for the fastest meal ever: one minute.
A hot pot meal, if Chen Ze himself were to eat it, he thought that even at his fastest, it would take at least half an hour.
"Handsome boss, do you accept payment in flesh here?" The woman’s opening remark almost made Chen Ze spit out his drink, even though he wasn’t actually drinking anything.
"Sorry, that’s not possible," Chen Ze immediately stopped this person who was on the verge of ’driving away’, feeling that if this continued, some very bad things might happen.
"Eh~how about this then?" The woman took out a red potion from her pocket and placed it on the table.
"What’s this?" Chen Ze became curious, as the item looked somewhat like the Blood bottle given by Akatsuki.
Only the Blood bottle from Akatsuki was darker, while this was much lighter.
"This here is the Divine Artifact for men~Love Perfume. Once sprayed, all women will tackle you to the ground~" The woman looked at Chen Ze teasingly, even sticking out her tongue and licking her lips.
Betty unobtrusively pressed her Magic Crystal a few more times, Lady Lafra, please come quickly!
There’s a woman here practically ready to carry off the wardrobe!
"If I may ask so boldly, what do you do for a living?" Chen Ze didn’t take the stallion’s perfume but looked at the woman with curiosity.
"I’m the mama of Paradise Heaven, Shiratori Nozomi. Handsome boy, would you like to come and play?" Shiratori Nozomi raised her eyes, naturally exuding a seductive charm.
Chen Ze’s mouth twitched, having guessed correctly; he’d been thinking that such a seductive character couldn’t be in any proper business.
Had Chen Ze not dodged quickly, that woman’s leg would have been draped over him already.
"Sorry, customer, our store does not support payments with these things at the moment, please provide an alternative," Chen Ze said, a bit helplessly. This was the downside of running a restaurant in another world, there were always some complications with the payment.
"Then I only have this~" Shiratori Nozomi then took out a pair of gloves from her bosom and put them on.
This action left Chen Ze completely baffled. What was this supposed to mean? Could it be that she was gifting him a pair of gloves?
Although he’d heard that some gentlemen would buy things like ’original flavor’ stockings, Chen Ze wanted to make it clear that he was definitely not that kind of person. Stop the car, this vehicle is definitely not going to the kindergarten!
Just when Chen Ze was about to lose his patience, Shiratori Nozomi took out a steel box from her bosom, which relieved him. It seemed it wasn’t what he had imagined.
It also made Chen Ze swallow back the words "Miss, please conduct yourself with dignity."
However, just as one question was set aside, another doubt arose. Chen Ze couldn’t help but look at Shiratori Nozomi’s clothes. The outfit didn’t seem that big, so how did she do it? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Then Chen Ze watched as Shiratori Nozomi pulled out a sphere from inside it, a glass sphere, but inside the glass, there seemed to be a wooden sphere, obscured by a jumble of lines, making it unclear. It looked a bit odd.
"What’s this?" Chen Ze was a bit puzzled.
"This is the reward I’ve prepared for you~" Shiratori Nozomi placed the sphere on the dining table, then took off her gloves.
Just as Chen Ze was about to take the sphere, he suddenly realized something and looked at Shiratori Nozomi with suspicion, "Then why are you wearing gloves?"
"Because my hands need to do some things that make people happier~" Shiratori Nozomi raised her eyebrows at Chen Ze.
Chen Ze looked at her expressionlessly.
"Eh? You don’t know? It’s like..." Shiratori Nozomi seemed to become interested and then made a gesture.
"I really don’t care about that kind of stuff at all!" Chen Ze said indignantly as he took the sphere, only to feel that something was off the moment he touched it.
"Such a mood-killer~ I’ll be heading back then. I’ll come again next time~" Shiratori Nozomi sashayed out, and Betty sighed as she looked at the Magic Crystal in her arms, counting herself lucky to have made a quick escape.
Chen Ze furrowed his brow as he examined the sphere, an odd-looking object, but felt that something was amiss.
"Manager, what’s wrong? Is there a scent lingering on this sphere?" Betty casually moved closer to look at Chen Ze.
"Go away, I just feel that this thing seems a bit odd." Chen Ze stroked his chin and then looked at it through the Magic Circle.
He then saw a line connecting the sphere to his hand. Chen Ze instinctively reached out to touch it but couldn’t feel anything.
It appeared to be invisible, and he couldn’t touch it.
Chen Ze hesitated for a moment, then smashed the sphere on the floor, where it broke cleanly.
However, through the effect of the Magic Circle, Chen Ze could still see the line connected to him, with the other end now linked to thin air.
Chen Ze didn’t pay it much attention and threw the broken pieces into the trash before returning to the kitchen. Then, suddenly having a hunch, he turned around and saw the sphere reappear behind him, not too far away.
Chen Ze looked at the trash can; the fragments were still there.
"Quite interesting," Chen Ze picked up the sphere again to inspect it, even checking it with the Magic Circle again, but there were no anomalies.
Chen Ze picked up a kitchen knife and chopped down, splitting the sphere in two, then threw it into the trash can. This time, the line was gone.
By the time Betty finished washing the dishes, Chen Ze saw no sign of the sphere. It seemed to have been truly destroyed.
Chen Ze didn’t mind. It was just a bizarre object. It looked like he had been saddled with a problem. That person called Shiratori Nozomi must surely have known about it.
"Darling~" The sound of Wind Chime brought Lafra’s sweet voice, but it made Chen Ze shiver involuntarily.
For some reason, it felt like today’s Lafra had an unusual aura of danger.
Then Chen Ze saw Betty scurrying up to the second floor, sheepishly, and he immediately understood.
Betty, you’re playing me!
