6: Chapter 6 The goddess is heartbroken and reveals her identity to Su Ling.

As twilight approached, several handsome men and beautiful women arrived in Soto City, becoming quite a beautiful sight as they walked along the street.

"Brother Su, is there anything delicious to eat in Soto City? I came straight to the academy after arriving, so I haven't had a chance to look around properly." Ning Rongrong spoke up first.

"Delicious to eat?" Su Ling thought for a moment, only to realize that his predecessor really didn't have many memories in this regard.

Almost all his time had been spent on Cultivating, and he had rarely come to Soto City to spend money, or rather, to spend lavishly for the sake of his appetite.

There was a specialty rabbit meat restaurant in his memory, but if he were to take them there voluntarily, how would he be able to farm Xiao Wu's favorability?

Fortunately, while Su Ling was thinking, Oscar, who had been tagging along happily, took the initiative to speak: "Boss Su, I visited a restaurant last year that was excellent. I still can't forget the taste to this day, it was..."

Oscar originally wanted to say that Dai Mubai had brought him there, but it didn't seem right to say that in front of Su Ling, so he didn't voice it.

Su Ling hadn't found a suitable place anyway, so Oscar's suggestion saved him the trouble.

"Good, Oscar, you lead the way, we'll go there. I'm treating today, so feel free to order whatever you want." Su Ling smiled. He had opened five thousand two hundred gold coins from the two treasure chests, so he could certainly afford a meal.

Besides, Oscar was only a Spirit Grandmaster.

He only received ten gold coins a month from Spirit Hall, and most of that had to be handed over to Flender, so how expensive could consumption in this place be?

"Brother Su, we've just arrived and have already received your care, so we should be the ones treating this meal." At this time, Tang San stepped forward.

"Yeah, yeah, if it weren't for your help during the fourth trial, Brother Su, we might not have passed." Ning Rongrong added. For her, gold coins were just numbers.

"Since that's the case, alright then. I'll treat everyone next time." Su Ling responded with a smile.

"Follow me, everyone." Oscar said excitedly. After all, the prices here were not cheap, and he had only happened to eat here once before.

A simple lunch alone had cost over a dozen gold coins.

Before long, a magnificent and lavishly decorated restaurant appeared before them.

Ning Rongrong wasn't bothered, and Zhu Zhuqing, coming from a wealthy family, was used to such things, but Tang San and Xiao Wu, that pair of country bumpkins, were truly a bit uncomfortable.

Touching his money pouch, how could Tang San have imagined that Oscar would bring them to such a luxurious restaurant?

Seeing Tang San reveal a hint of embarrassment, Su Ling almost laughed just thinking about it.

They had spent two hundred gold coins buying metal from Flender during the day, so how much could he have left? Since it was his suggestion, he couldn't let Ning Rongrong pay the bill.

The key moment was the ordering; Su Ling didn't interfere, letting the ladies do it, especially Ning Rongrong, that Young Miss, who certainly didn't hold back.

Soon, a dozen delicious dishes, along with wine, fruit juice, and drinks, were served on the table.

"Tang San, I've made you spend a lot on your first visit. You're quite a bit younger than me, so I'll call you Little San from now on, how about that?" Su Ling said.

"It's fine, it's fine, of course you can. Just calling me Little San is fine, Brother Su." Tang San hurriedly replied, though he was mentally calculating the menu he had just seen, wondering if the gold coins in his pocket would be enough.

Just as they were dining, the door to a private room not far away slowly opened.

"Is that Brother Dai? He brought me here the last time I came to Soto City." Oscar spoke up directly. He had no idea about the relationship between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and having had a bit to drink, he just blurted it out.

Everyone looked over, and it really was Dai Mubai.

At this moment, Dai Mubai had drunk a bit too much, speaking quite loudly, with a hot-bodied woman on each side supporting him.

"That pair yesterday performed well, today it's up to you two." Dai Mubai said loudly.

As he was helped upstairs by the two women, everyone knew exactly what was on the upper floor of this restaurant.

"This guy, my brother and I ran into him yesterday too, he took a pair of twins to a hotel, and today again... Brother Su, you really should have been harder on him today." Xiao Wu said indignantly.

"Exactly, exactly." Ning Rongrong nodded while eating.

As for Tang San, he didn't actually think Dai Mubai had done anything wrong, so he didn't speak.

Only Zhu Zhuqing's expression looked wrong at this moment; her cold, pretty face appeared somewhat pale, and her body was even trembling slightly.

Su Ling roughly knew where Dai Mubai spent his money and had intended to find an opportunity for Zhu Zhuqing to run into him, though he wasn't 100% sure it would happen.

Well, now it was even easier.

However, this was quite difficult for Zhu Zhuqing, who was clenching her fist tightly under the table, trying hard to calm her emotions.

But after so many years of persistence and grievances, how could she bear it?

"Zhuqing, are you not feeling well?" Su Ling asked softly from the side.

"No, it's nothing." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, suppressing her emotions as she tried her best to calm down.

But sometimes, certain emotions cannot be suppressed.

"I'm going out for a moment." Zhu Zhuqing stood up abruptly and walked out of the restaurant.

"What's wrong with Zhuqing?" Everyone looked at Su Ling in confusion.

Su Ling waved his hand and said, "You guys continue, I'll go out and check."

Since everyone had drunk a bit, they didn't seem to pay too much attention to Zhuqing's situation, so no one followed her out.

When Su Ling went out, Zhu Zhuqing was already crouching not far outside the hotel, crying like a helpless little girl.

"Zhuqing, what's wrong?" Su Ling asked as he stepped forward. Although he knew the situation, he still had to act as if he knew nothing.

"Brother Su." The aggrieved Zhu Zhuqing threw herself into Su Ling's arms.

Su Ling didn't speak, letting Zhu Zhuqing cry; he simply waited for her to vent the emotions she had been holding back for a long time.

After a good while, Zhu Zhuqing finally stopped her tears and, feeling a bit embarrassed, pulled away from Su Ling's embrace.

"Brother Su, actually, Dai Mubai and I... we are..."

Next, Zhu Zhuqing confessed everything to Su Ling, because she felt that Su Ling was trustworthy.

"What?"

"Zhuqing, you are actually Dai Mubai's fiancée, and he still..."

"Brother Su, please keep this a secret!" Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice.

Su Ling said: "Zhuqing, aren't you going to go upstairs and clarify things?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. At this moment, she seemed to have figured out many things and said: "No need. From now on, I have nothing more to say to him. He lives his life, I live mine; it's over between him and me."

"I respect your decision. Since you call me Brother, if you have any difficulties or needs in the future, just tell me. I am your family here." Su Ling said.

If an average person said this on the first day they met, it certainly wouldn't be believed, and might even be considered annoying.

But Su Ling had already forcibly bound with Zhu Zhuqing, and her favorability was over sixty, so saying this was not a problem at all; it felt just like the natural thing to do.

"Okay!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and continued: "Thank you, Brother Su."

"Let's go, wipe your face. You look like a little kitten right now. Don't let everyone notice when we go back in."

"Mm!"

[Ding... Zhu Zhuqing's favorability towards the host +5, obtained Yellow Treasure Chest * 2, Purple Treasure Chest * 1]

...

Favorability increased?

I actually got another Purple Treasure Chest!

Judging from the treasure chests opened before, the items from white and yellow treasure chests were relatively ordinary; only the items from the purple treasure chests were what he needed.
