Chapter 514: 514: Your dad is not that hard up.

"Mom, is our company on the trade planet with the seven 9s in its name?"

Liu Mei: "Yes, what about it?"

Jiang Ruolin said excitedly, "What a coincidence, I’ve arrived at this planet too."

Liu Mei was surprised, "You girl, why are you running around? Who did you come with? Where did you get the Spirit Stones to pay for the transmission fee?"

Jiang Ruolin looked at Gu Feng next to her again with a sense of accomplishment, "I came with Gu Feng. When are you and Dad off work? How about we have dinner together?"

Liu Mei: "I still have to ask your dad about that..."

"Don’t bother asking. If dad doesn’t want to come, then don’t bring him."

Jiang Ruolin was now completely satisfied with Gu Feng.

Even the little devil inside her was heedlessly advising herself: "Jiang Ruolin, stop pretending and playing along. Don’t you deserve this opportunity if you make it real? Go for it and get your hands on him!"

Considering that the best her family could do was to marry her off to a family from a Fifth Layer Heaven Realm Cultivation Country from the Ancestor Country, meeting Gu Feng, who could easily subdue a family from a Sixth Layer Heaven Realm, she certainly had to take the initiative.

Previously, she understood her family’s objection to her relationship with Gu Feng when he was a mortal, which indeed lacked persuasiveness.

But now, Dad, don’t fail to recognize a good thing and ruin your daughter’s prospects.

If you don’t come over and fulfill your NPC father-in-law role, I’ll elope with the guy.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Dad next to Liu Mei widened his eyes: "That cotton-padded jacket must be of poor quality, I’m furious."

Liu Mei chuckled lightly, "Are you going or not? I have a feeling if you don’t, your daughter’s heart will go astray."

"Let’s go and see, what kind of man has charmed her to this extent." Jiang Dad got up and said.

———

"Um, my parents said they want to invite us for a meal, and, by the way, they want to see you." Jiang Ruolin asked Gu Feng with a hint of blush and a guilty conscience, "Would you like to go?"

Gu Feng, tall and straight in stature, was dressed in a business coat, hands in the coat’s pockets, his long hair flowing.

He nodded.

Jiang Ruolin immediately showed a bright smile and then took his arm, heading to a restaurant in the location her mother had sent.

Inside a five-star restaurant.

Liu Mei pinched her husband’s waist, "Why are you so obsessed with keeping up appearances? This restaurant is expensive, just so you can show off in front of your daughter’s boyfriend? We might as well throw away a month’s salary."

Jiang Dad was also resigned to his fate, "Now that we’re here, you can’t expect me not to be able to hold my head up in front of our daughter’s boyfriend, right? Since he could leave Earth, he must be a cultivator without a doubt. Meeting for the first time, we’ve got to bolster Ruolin’s dignity, don’t we?"

While the two were talking, Gu Feng and Jiang Ruolin had already come upstairs to the booth.

Jiang Dad was the image of a middle-aged man, quite simple and honest.

But he tried to put on the stern father act, as if his daughter had been whisked away by some ruffian, sitting there trying to exude an aura of restrained authority.

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Gu Feng greeted simply and then sat down with Jiang Ruolin.

Jiang Dad merely nodded symbolically.

His composure and feigned authority began to crack as soon as the dishes Gu Feng ordered were reported to the waiter.

Even Liu Mei, who tried to maintain elegance and composure, began to twitch nervously.

Because Gu Feng’s order was a bit over the top.

The threshold for this restaurant was already high, but the dishes Gu Feng ordered were even the signature dishes of the highest price category here.

The waiter came over to confirm, "Sir, let me just confirm for you, you’ve ordered the Gray Dragon Whisker Salad, Snow Mountain Phoenix Tail Cake, Alligator Soup, Spicy Fried Green Wolf Heart, correct?"

Gu Feng nodded, "Yes."

Since there were no prices on the menu, Jiang Ruolin next to him didn’t think too much of it, only content to let Gu Feng order freely.

But Jiang Dad and Liu Mei on the opposite side were dizzy with each dish’s name.

They hadn’t eaten here before, but just hearing names like "Gray Dragon," "Phoenix Tail," "Alligator," and "Green Wolf" made them nervous.

You don’t think the restaurant’s dishes are just named fancifully, do you?

Big mistake. In high-class restaurants outside of Star System, any dish with a species name is made with the main ingredient of that species!

Jiang Dad cleared his throat and asked Gu Feng, "How do the dishes taste?"

"I don’t know," Gu Feng answered, as it was also his first time trying them.

Jiang Dad and Liu Mei’s eyelids twitched.

You don’t know and you still ordered?

But then, Gu Feng added, "However, I took Ruolin’s current condition into account when selecting these. Eating the meat from these beasts can be very nourishing. Gray Dragon comes from the second continent of the Original World and belongs to the Ninth Layer Heaven Realm’s Wild Beasts. Its meat can replenish a cultivator’s supply of ordinary Spirit Stones for ten years; the Alligator Dragon originates from the Third Plate, belonging to the Wild Beasts of the Thirteen-layered Heaven Realm, which can boost and reinforce a cultivators’ physical foundation and defenses..."

The waiter beside them said with a smile, "It seems the gentleman is well-informed. You are correct."

Jiang Dad looked at the waiter, "Are you sure it’s real meat?"

The waiter assured, "Please rest easy, sir. We have the Star System Alliance’s regulation. If it were fake, the compensation and punishment would be severe. We wouldn’t dare to fake high-end ingredients."

He also gestured towards Gu Feng, saying, "Especially in front of real experts like this guest, we wouldn’t dare to be fraudulent."

Jiang Dad blushed a little as he glanced at his daughter, Jiang Ruolin.

The girl’s eyes were fixed on Gu Feng. Wasn’t her mind turning?

Didn’t she hear Gu Feng mention which Plate these Wild Beasts came from?

Couldn’t she infer anything about the prices?

Jiang Ruolin truly hadn’t noticed the look her father was giving her.

She was just snuggled up to Gu Feng’s arm, nestling affectionately beside him, and when she heard that Gu Feng had ordered these nutrient-rich dishes especially for her, she happily thanked him, "Thank you."

She had not realized at all that it was her dad who was treating everyone.

The waiter asked, "Shall I let the kitchen start preparing the food?"

Gu Feng nodded, "Please, make it quick."

Jiang Dad’s back ached.

Because his wife, Liu Mei, kept pinching him under the table.

The aching in his back was nothing compared to the aching of his heart at the moment.

Before Gu Feng mentioned where these Wild Beasts came from, he could only guess at the cost.

Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s like working for a whole year for nothing!

Jiang Dad was filled with regret.

Ever since the Jiang Family was suppressed, he and his wife had been keeping a low profile and had long forgotten what it meant to show off.

Today, he wanted to show some dignity in front of his daughter’s partner.

But the price was...

The couple had planned to thoroughly question and understand Gu Feng’s background, but now their mood had vanished.

The moment the dishes arrived, both of them turned into ravenous eaters.

They wished they could devour the dishes to reimburse themselves and soothe the balance of Spirit Stones in their accounts.

And truth be told, High Tier Wild Beast meat was truly delicious.

But when it came time to pay the bill, the waiter said, "Sir, that’ll be 2.58 million Spirit Stones."

Jiang Dad and Liu Mei, who had not left even the Alligator Dragon soup dregs, choked in surprise.

Even Jiang Ruolin, who was sipping high-end Medicinal Materials-infused tea, choked on the price.

Only then did she realize that her parents’ yearly income was just four to five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Five years’ worth of salary!

At that moment, Gu Feng took out his Storage Bag and handed it to the waiter. After the waiter sensed the amount of Spirit Stones inside with his Divine Sense, he automatically deducted the corresponding amount into his Storage Ring, then politely bowed and left.

After this meal ended, Jiang Dad and Liu Mei went back to work.

Gu Feng then said to Jiang Ruolin, "I don’t think your dad is in such a difficult position."

Jiang Ruolin smiled to herself.

She thought: With a partner who could spend their five-year income on one meal, I doubt there’s any father-in-law who would still find faults.
