Long Shen discovered that the energy levels here weren't low. There should be many genuinely powerful individuals. He was very curious about the daughter Lin Fan mentioned. What kind of daughter could live in such a place? Of course, he never thought Lin Fan's daughter would be ordinary; she must be an extraordinary being. He was very curious, very interested.
As Lin Fan stepped into this area, he felt a strong presence of light elements. A smile appeared on his face. Such brilliant light elements were incomparable to those tainted by darkness. Regardless of whether she was here or not, at least it showed that his daughter had developed this place well.
"Wow! The scenery here is really beautiful!" Old Zhang exclaimed, looking at the surrounding scenery with delight. It was truly beautiful, far surpassing places like Yanhai City. To put it simply, this was the legendary paradise.
Lin Fan said, "This place was already beautiful when I came here before, and now it's even more beautiful."
Old Zhang asked curiously, "Who are we going to find now?"
Lin Fan replied, "I have a few good friends here. I don't know if they are still around."
Hearing this, Old Zhang felt a strong sense of crisis. "Ah, good friends? Are they as good as me?" He was jealous. Considering himself Lin Fan's best friend, he felt a sense of threat.
Lin Fan smiled gently. "You are my best friend. Of course, they are not as important as you."
Receiving Lin Fan's satisfactory answer, Old Zhang beamed with joy, his smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, so radiant, so bright.
Long Shen shuddered. What a terrifying affection, so strange, it was no longer the kind of affection between ordinary friends.
"Happy?" Lin Fan asked.
Old Zhang nodded vigorously. "Yes, I'm very happy. I knew I was the most important person in your heart."
The Evil Chicken glanced sideways, its gaze slightly odd. What are you thinking? Don't you know Lin Fan has a wife? Who's the most important? It's definitely Mu Qing. As for you… you don't even know where you rank. Second at most, and I, the Evil Chicken, am third.
At this moment, "Lin Fan, I'm so hungry." Old Zhang clutched his stomach, the rumbling sounds clearly audible.
Lin Fan said, "It's alright. I'll take you to eat. The food here is quite good, but I don't know if it has changed. If it hasn't, it's really delicious."
His words made Old Zhang drool uncontrollably. Was it really as delicious as Lin Fan said?
They found a city. The western-style city was bustling with people. Perhaps a long time had passed, and the city had changed significantly compared to when Lin Fan was last here. It seemed extraordinary, filled with a sense of holiness.
In a restaurant, a table full of delicious food left Old Zhang's mouth oily. Even when his stomach was full, he still tried to stuff more food into it. "So delicious!"
Lin Fan smiled. "Actually, there's another kind of food that's even more delicious. My daughter, Ke Lan, loves it. But it's a pity, I promised someone, so I can't eat it anymore."
As he spoke, he seemed regretful, truly disappointed.
Long Shen hadn't eaten anything for a long time. At his level, eating or not eating was the same, merely satisfying his appetite. He elegantly lifted his teacup. He didn't know what kind of tea it was, but it had a pleasant fragrance. When he drank it, it didn't have any invigorating effect, but it was sweet. "Mmm, not bad."
He was very satisfied with the current situation. A cup of tea after a good meal could make one feel relaxed. Putting down the teacup, he asked, "Do you have money to pay the bill?"
When he said these words, the originally lively dining table suddenly fell silent.
Old Zhang looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan blinked, patted his pockets, took out his phone, patted again, and pulled out a pack of tissues.
After a long while… "The currency should be universal, right?"
Long Shen said, "What do you think?"
They ate with gusto, but paying the bill after eating was a big problem. Hearing their conversation, Ginseng habitually got off the table and climbed onto the Evil Chicken, ready to run at any moment. He was just waiting for Lin Fan to give the signal. He would definitely run faster than anyone else.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Fan whispered, "I remember now. The payment method here is gold coins. Does anyone have any gold on them?"
It hadn't been that long since he was last here. He could still remember the payment method.
Long Shen said, "Gold is the least valuable thing. Do you have any?"
Lin Fan replied, "I don't."
An awkward situation arose. They didn't have money to pay the bill. If word got out, they would be laughed at.
"I'll take care of it," Lin Fan said.
Long Shen said, "With our strength, we can just leave directly. No one can stop us, and no one will notice. Look…"
At this moment, Long Shen had an idea. No money to pay? No problem. It was a small matter. Don't worry about it. With their strength on display, who would dare to defy them, who would dare to say anything?
Lin Fan waved his hand. "That's too despicable. I have a way."
Long Shen didn't say much. He wanted to see what Lin Fan could do.
A while later, in the kitchen, "This is it." A fat middle-aged man pushed open the kitchen door and pointed at the dishes inside. "Since I opened this restaurant, no one has ever dared to dine and dash. You are the first. But you don't seem to be doing it on purpose, and your attitude is friendly. I'm willing to forgive you. My request isn't high. Just wash the dishes here, and we'll call it even."
After finishing, the fat boss left directly.
Long Shen said, "Is this the solution you mentioned?"
Lin Fan smiled. "Yes, how is it? My method is quite good, right?"
Long Shen stared at Lin Fan, his eyes unmoving, as if he were thinking about something. Yes, if Lin Fan wasn't so powerful, he would definitely stomp on him.
Beast! Animal! Is this something a human would do?
Leaving aside other things, I, Long Shen, am the ancestor of the Dragon Clan, with high status and authority. If my clan knew that you tricked me into washing dishes, they would definitely come here and smash this restaurant to smithereens. My ancestor came to your place to eat, that's your honor, and you still want money? You're simply courting death.
But…
Long Shen nodded, praising, "Mmm, indeed a good method. From this, I can see a special quality in you, that is, never using your own strength to act recklessly."
Lin Fan said, "Act recklessly? I wouldn't do that. Paying for meals is a matter of course. Washing dishes when you have no money is also normal. Besides, there aren't many dishes here. It'll be done quickly."
Then he looked at Old Zhang. "Old Zhang, you don't have to wash dishes. I'm afraid you'll hurt your hands."
Old Zhang said, "No, I want to be with you. I don't want you to be too tired."
Lin Fan said, "Then let's do it together."
"Okay," Old Zhang replied.
Long Shen watched… Such a deep friendship, even being humble about washing dishes. As if you didn't eat anything.
