When they entered the tavern, the room was brimming with people of all ages. They found an empty table just beside the window and decided to sit there.
From where they sat, they can see the occasional passing of carriages while the rain was falling on their windowpane.
"MEOW"
[I better address this grumbling stomach of mine or else my small intestine will soon eat my large intestine... ]
Janus said with eyes full of expectancy as he tried to crane his head from left to right.
They wonder, why there is no one assisting them to take their order?
"Ohhh... I'm hungry," Mu Lingxi rested her arms on the table as she put her chin over her left hand.
But as soon as she said those two words of complain, dish after dish started to appear just before their eyes. Soon, their table was full of mouth-watering delicacies.
It was like there is a sumptuous feast at their front. Foods of all kinds can be seen in their table.
There is this that looks like a giant lobster and then scallops and grilled squid. Then a piping hot pot with a thick soup inside. Even the smoked ham looks so delectable. Its juices were oozing from it and once you took a bite, a sweet and spicy taste will burst inside your mouth.
She remembered that time when she uses to attend a friend's wedding before. The reception was held at a five-star hotel, and the foods served there tasted just like the one being served here on the humble-looking tavern.
She remembered pretty well how it tasted because she managed to take home some of the foods as a souvenir back then.
The master and cat duo continued to dig in and ate to their heart's content.
"MEOW"
[Woahhhh... This place was true to its word?!!! A real 'eat-all-you-can' through and through!]
Janus said in amazement as he watches the plate of the colorful jellies he just emptied being refilled on its own.
"Ahhhhh... this is what you called happy tummy!!!"
Mu Lingxi said in contentment while wiping the corner of her mouth after drinking a cup of BUTTERED BEER, bottoms up.
*Burrrrrppp!*
Mu Lingxi and Janus burped at the same time after enjoying the food. They rested their bodies comfortably in the chair while rubbing their bellies in satisfaction.
Having their fill, the master and cat duo felt that their eyelids were turning heavy. They watch as the remaining foods in their table started to wane, vanishing in their sight. It disappeared as quick as to how it appeared in the first place.
"C' mon Janus, we still have a long way to go. We have to leave the city as soon as dawn arrived."
Mu Lingxi picked her cat, Janus and they went to their respective room. The room was not that big, nor that small. Just enough for them to take a rest without getting cram.
As soon as Mu Lingxi's body hit the bed, she immediately fell asleep.
Janus, on the other hand, was checking each corner of the room. Sniffing everything inside. When he was done in his seemingly ritual of marking his territory, he did not sleep right away. Instead, he jumps at the bedside table and observed Mu Lingxi's sleeping face, drooling and snoring.
"MEOW"
[Aye! This little lass sure never experience any difficulties sleeping anywhere.]
Janus took another look below their room's window, squinting his bright blue eyes as he watched the silent night outside.
After observing everything, he jump to the bed and curled his body next to Mu Lingxi's head. ready to rest his sleepy head.
