Chapter 460: Chapter 462 Preliminary Planning of Power (Part 5)
Before the sound of his voice had settled, a harsh aura emitted from the man standing beside Mu Ruyue. The waiter immediately shuddered and closed his incessantly chattering mouth.
“Three… three guests, would you like a private room or the main hall?” The waiter cautiously glanced at the stern Xiao Feng and said with a trembling voice.
“Private room.”
Mu Ruyue spoke indifferently.
“Then, please follow me, three guests.”
As he turned around, the waiter stealthily wiped the sweat from his forehead, only then realizing that the shock had drawn a cold sweat down his back.
That man’s strength was too terrifying.
It was unexpected that a man with such terrifying strength could easily fall for that beggar’s trick.
In the luxurious private room, as dishes were placed one by one on the table, the old man couldn’t help but devour his food voraciously. He tilted his head to drink a bowl of wine, grabbing a roast chicken leg with his hand, he mumbled unclearly, “In the past, my cultivation was so high that I didn’t need to eat earthly food. Since my strength was destroyed, I can’t live without three meals a day. But this food is quite delicious. You should eat too. If you just watch me, I’ll feel embarrassed.”
Glancing at the mess on the table, Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow and didn’t touch the chopsticks. She looked up at the old man and hooked her lips lightly, “Do you want to restore your strength?”
With a gulp, the old man swallowed the meat in his mouth and nodded vigorously, “Of course I do. I dream of it. Strength is truly wonderful, at least no one would disrespectfully throw me out.”
“Then, I can help you restore your strength.”
Clatter!
The chicken leg fell from the old man’s hand to the ground as he stiffly raised his head, blinking slightly, “What did you just say? I didn’t quite catch that.”
“I said, I can help you restore your strength.”
This time, the old man clearly heard it. He suddenly climbed onto the table, his eyes fixated on Mu Ruyue, “You can help me restore my strength?”
“Indeed,” Mu Ruyue nodded slightly, “but currently I don’t have the strength to do so. Once I make another breakthrough as an Alchemy Master, I will have a seventy percent probability of restoring your strength, but under the condition that you pledge your lifelong loyalty to me and serve me!”
He wouldn’t even mind being a slave, let alone pledging loyalty to her.
The old man eagerly nodded his head, “As long as you help me restore my strength, I’ll do anything for you! Can you really do it?”
Honestly, the old man didn’t quite believe her.
It’s true that Alchemy Masters on this continent could restore his power, but sadly, those Alchemy Masters whom he used to know had all abandoned him after learning about the powerful adversaries he had offended.
Those heartless and ungrateful wretches, he had once helped them so loyally, and now, when he needed them, they ran faster than rabbits…
But this young lady was still too young.
Could such a young girl truly restore his strength? The old man couldn’t believe it, yet, she was now his only hope.
Facing the old man’s skeptical gaze, Mu Ruyue smiled slightly with a tilt of her lips, “Believe it or not, that’s up to you.”
“I believe, I have no other choice but to believe you right now,” the old man took a deep breath and said, “By the way, my name is Gu Lei. I don’t know if you have heard of me. Ha ha, if it were people from the Middle East, I reckon quite a few would know my name.”
“The Middle East? What place is that?”
