No matter how reluctant Orphilia was, Lin Feng dragged her to the dinner party.
The two of them drove their transport ship and zipped away to the nameless planet.
The Black Robe had many areas with restricted access.
Take this nameless planet, for instance. The last time Lin Feng brought Diona here, it involved a rather troublesome identity verification.
However, now, piloting the exclusive transport ship of a faction leader, they could pass through directly.
This transport ship itself served as a pass.
As long as Lin Feng could go somewhere, the transport ship would allow passage without any identity checks.
This was more impressive than Lin Feng flying around by himself, so he decided to use it.
It was a bit strange that the dinner was scheduled for noon, but Lin Feng didn't dwell on it.
He just mused about how he had left the nameless star yesterday and was now back today…
Egarte's Deep Sea Restaurant, where Lin Feng was invited, was located in the vast, boundless ocean to the southeast of the planet.
When Lin Feng saw the name, he thought it was a restaurant built underwater, but that wasn't the case.
A sandy island floated on the sea.
It was likely suspended on the water's surface using some special technology.
And the Deep Sea Restaurant was built on that island.
Their conspicuous spaceship landed in a special area on the island.
Lin Feng and Orphilia stepped out.
Through a dedicated passage, they were led directly to the room for the gathering.
Egarte and Luo Yongtian, having received news of Lin Feng's arrival, were already waiting at the entrance.
Although they found it a bit odd that Lin Feng brought Orphilia along, they didn't say much.
The group arrived at the most luxurious room, which was not open to the public.
Everyone took their seats.
Orphilia was a bit timid, refusing to sit and instead standing rigidly behind Lin Feng like a post.
She was probably intimidated by the sight of three important figures meeting for the first time.
Lin Feng didn't bother to force her, letting her be.
The Deep Sea Restaurant served food quickly, and Lin Feng soon tasted the Deep Sea Royal Shellfish prepared by the great octopus chef.
To be honest, it was delicious, and Lin Feng ate with great enjoyment!
After a meal of eating and drinking, Egarte and Luo Yongtian maintained smiling faces throughout, without touching on any sensitive topics.
At first glance, it really seemed like a simple dinner among friends.
They chatted about everything under the sun, and Lin Feng was happy to go along with it.
Finally, they moved on to topics of food, drink, and entertainment.
Lin Feng thought it was time to get down to business.
While chatting with Egarte and Luo Yongtian, he turned and patted Orphilia's arm.
"Go and bring me those two bottles of wine from my ship!"
Orphilia jolted, feeling something crawl into her sleeve.
However, she maintained a calm expression, responded, and walked out.
"Shan Hai also enjoys drinking?"
Egarte glanced at Orphilia and then asked Lin Feng with a smile.
"It's alright, I don't drink often."
"But I've collected some good things from traveling all over the universe!"
"I dare say, you two have never tasted these two bottles of wine of mine!" Lin Feng said with a laugh.
Yes, they certainly wouldn't have tasted them.
The two bottles of wine on his ship were specifically prepared by Lin Feng for them.
Luo Yongtian stroked his beard, his eyes crinkling with amusement.
"In that case, I am in for a treat this time!"
Egarte also agreed with a smile.
However, these two old foxes didn't truly feel that way.
By the time they were traversing the universe, Lin Feng was likely not even born. What good things hadn't they seen?
Lin Feng's words lacked a bit of credibility…
Orphilia went outside to where the ship was docked.
She rolled up her sleeve.
On her forearm, a silver metallic ring, shimmering with iridescent light, had appeared.
This was what Lin Feng had placed on her when he patted her just now.
[This ring will ensure you are not detected while observing their secrets!]
Lin Feng's voice suddenly echoed in Orphilia's mind.
This silver metallic ring was a small fragment of Lin Feng's symbiotic consciousness, the Brilliant Symbiote.
As mentioned before, Lin Feng was cautious and prudent.
Adding this to Orphilia was a safeguard against her being detected when observing them.
Lin Feng had tested it, and this artifact provided a concealment effect even against leaders of the First Sequence!
Orphilia remained expressionless and responded affirmatively.
She knew this was Lin Feng's signal.
Now that the wine was retrieved, it was time for her to start observing.
She lowered her sleeve, picked up the two unlabeled bottles of wine, and walked back.
With the silver metallic ring Lin Feng had given her, Orphilia felt a surge of confidence.
Back in the room, Lin Feng immediately took the two bottles.
"Here they are!"
"These are truly rare items, I've only managed to get a few bottles over the years."
Lin Feng smiled and opened the two bottles on the table.
The wine liquid resembled the universe, with specks of light twinkling within the dark body of the liquor.
These lights would sometimes converge into a line, and at other times scatter throughout the bottle, like the Milky Way in space.
Visually, the wine was indeed somewhat magical.
However, Egarte and Luo Yongtian, being worldly and experienced, did not show any signs of surprise.
But their opinions soon changed.
As the caps were opened, an extremely rich yet refreshingly pure aroma of wine filled the room.
Oh?!
This aroma…
Egarte was slightly surprised.
He turned his head, his gaze meeting Luo Yongtian's.
Luo Yongtian nodded slightly at him.
It seemed they had underestimated Shan Hai.
Just the aroma of this wine held some merit!
Taking a deep breath, the wine's fragrance carried an indescribable depth.
The sensation was akin to the aroma of a magical, luminous plant from a beautiful land, perfectly integrated with the deep void of space, harmonizing like countless stars.
Luo Yongtian acutely sensed that just inhaling this aroma stirred faint emotions within him?!
These emotions were called happiness and intoxication!
"Good wine…" Luo Yongtian couldn't help but blurt out.
This time, they had indeed underestimated Shan Hai!
They almost forgot, Shan Hai couldn't be judged by ordinary standards!
Lin Feng, with a smile, poured a cup for each of them.
It wasn't Lin Feng boasting, but they had definitely never tasted this wine before!
This wine had been heavily enhanced!
As mentioned earlier, Lin Feng had specifically prepared this wine for these two.
The liquor originated from the Star Clan, it was the raw brew personally crafted by Xi Xing, and it was not sold to the public.
Furthermore, Lin Feng had added several ingredients, all high-priced items redeemed from the system store.
Among them were substances like Life Tree sap.
Lin Feng had spared no expense. With a mixture of these ingredients, Luo Yongtian and Egarte could not discern the origin of the wine or its components!
More importantly, Lin Feng had also infused a trace of magical power.
Dark magic from a forbidden spellbook!
This magic was harmless to humans, only enhancing the wine's aroma and serving one purpose.
That purpose was emotional influence!
