Chereads / Lord of The Abyss / Chapter 27 - Dinner at a restaurant

Chapter 27 - Dinner at a restaurant

Ssyba sat down in a nearby restaurant. He has retracted his aura. Due to the laws placed on him, it was easy for him to hide his true nature.

He was excited about the food of this world.

The food was presented to him by a waitress in a sultry dress.

After serving the dish, she sat beside him and was too close to him.

"Um, can you not? I'm trying to enjoy my food here." Ssyba fiercely rebuked her.

Several people looked at him with a weird gaze while other girls looked at her with a slightly astonished gaze.

Although he has no emotions apart from entertainment, he still has some residues of them. But he couldn't distinguish them. So to him those he didn't understand he didn't like.

He glared at her until she left his side. The girl pouted as he walked away from him.

Ssyba focused on his food as he took chopsticks and lifted a piece of meat and eat it. Flavour exploded in his mouth.

And without any care, he started to eat.

At first, people ignored him, and so did the girls and other serves.

But the plates and food kept increasing.

Normal people felt astonished while Cultivators looked at him with approval.

All was fine until even the Cultivators were starting to sweat.

'How much are you going to eat?' A question everyone asked subconsciously.

"Sorry patron, we are out of food."

A man hurriedly bowed to him and said with a slightly scared tone.

Ssyba was eating his final meat when he frowned and said,

"But I haven't even started feeling full yet."

Nearly all of the cursed out loud.

The Pheonix Restaurant in the Myriad Star Kingdom is famous for its food. They once served people five days straight without running out of food.

This was the first time it happened.

"Fine!" Ssyba said with annoyance.

'Can't even eat satisfyingly.' Ssyba grumbled and asked the waitress to bring out the bill.

The girl now didn't dare to be disrespectful.

She quickly brings out the bill.

"It's...9 thousand Emperor Spirit Stone."

Nearly all of them fell from their chair.

Spirit Stone is the currency of the cultivators. They are divided by their purity.

And their purity is separated into six grades.

Pure, Condensed, Jade, Emperor and Divine.

100 spirit stone is equivalent to one Pure Spirit Stone.

100 Pure Spirit Stone is equivalent to one Condensed Spirit Stone.

1000 Condensed Spirit Stone is equivalent to one Jade Spirit Stone.

10 Jade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one Emperor Spirit Stone.

1000 Emperor Spirit stone is Equivalent to one Divine Spirit stone.

9000 Emperor Spirit Stone is enough for a Cultivator to jump from, Core Creation directly to Peak Foundation Realm. Even Half-step Soul Forging isn't impossible.

Some humans fainted while some cultivators looked at him with the gaze of a wolf.

Ssyba nodded and bought out a single bluestone and gave it to them.

All the humans sneered at him. Although they didn't possess enough money, they sure as hell can recognize them. That stone didn't look like any Sprit stone they were familiar with.

But the Cultivators had their eyes widen. They could sense it.

It was made out of Qi.

Spirit stone was made out of Qi too. But it was mixed with slang or impurities. Even the Divine grade had some impurities.

But that bluestone. It was so pure it challenged their understanding of normal spirit stone.

It was made out of dense and pure Qi.

"What is this?" The man who bowed before asked in confusion.

"This?" Ssyba held the stone and said,

"This is the highest grade Mana stone. I'm pretty sure it would be enough to cover all the bills and more."

He threw the stone to the man and said,

"Keep the change." He walked away. The man wanted to stop him when nearly all the Cultivators rushed at him with weapons.

Everyone was shocked.

Before their blades could reach him however each one of them was immobilized by roots and vines.

[Kekekekekekek]

A peal of laughter rang out as all present felt a sharp pain. Some humans started to vomit blood while some went into seizures.

Ssyba calmly looked behind him. All the Cultivators were suspended in the air with their eyes full of fear and greed on them.

"Leave them to me," Ssyba said with a cold voice.

All of the fall on the ground. The fear left immediately as greed replaced it.

Ssyba extended his hand at the rushing crowd.

All his fingers exploded as several giant gross black worms came out of his fingers.

Their entire body was covered in mouths and sharp teeth. It happened in a blink of an eye.

Everyone looked around to see none of the Cultivators was present. They looked at Ssyba whose finger was having a hard time returning to their original form.

After some struggling, it returned to its original form and Ssyba burped out loudly. A disgusting smell of rotten flesh and blood filled the room.

Ssyba had a disgusted look on his face as he walked back and take out a soda from his space.

"Ewwww. They still taste horrible. I should have stocked up some of the mouthwash."

Ssyba gurgled with the mint-flavoured soda as he cleared slimy red blood from his tongue.

But the rotten taste of blood didn't leave from his mouth.

No one in the shop dared to breathe out loud.

Ssyba left the shop and walked in the street as his presence vanished slightly.

He looked like he was chewing something before shoving his hand in his mouth and bringing out a sharp finger bone.

He tossed it aside as he walked with a troubled expression and occasionally tossed out human bones, steel and pieces of cloth.
