General Wang Jian also walked over and hugged me. Bai Qi looked very sturdy, his build similar to Old K and he seemed like an expert in martial arts. He laughed and said, “I won’t be hugging you, it’s a little creepy…”

I could not help but laugh. “Let’s go. We can go up and prepare to eat dinner; I’m starving to death! The other people are all upstairs waiting. Oh, and Fan Shu City’s Cang Tong and Cang Yue are also accompanying us for dinner.”

“Oh?” General Li Mu was surprised and excited as he said, “Looks like today we’ll be fortunate enough to have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Fan Shu City’s number one beauty?

I spoke with a rough and meaningful voice and laughed, “Yup, you won’t be disappointed!”

“Let’s go…”

……

Our group of people walked up the stairs and into the room. Wolf was already there and stood up to greet the General Family with enthusiasm. After a while, the room was filled up, and Wan Er, Dong Cheng Yue, and Matcha all stood up, greeting the guests with smiles.

“Damn…”

Li Mu suddenly froze up and rubbed his eyes, “I…I have lived for 25 years in Yangzhou where beautiful women are abundant but how is it that I feel that the standard of beauty over there is no longer high anymore? All of a sudden, I see 3 beautiful women. Hangzhou is really a paradise to live in…”

Wang Jian looked at Wan Er, his excitement clearly noticeable. “You are…you are Fan Shu City’s number 1 Assassin, Cang Tong, aren’t you? I know you. You have another alias, the Heart of Time singer Lin Wan Er, right? I am one of your fans…”

Wan Er laughed, “Nice to meet you!”

Soon after, she gave me a meaningful glance, beckoning for me with her finger. I quickly walked over to her. “What’s up, Wan Er?”

Wan Er leaned towards my neck and whispered into my ear, “Li Mu and Wang Jian both look pretty handsome, but Bai Qi looks like a construction worker and Lian Po looks too much like an old geezer…”

My face turned purple, “Will you die if you don’t ridicule them?”

Wan Er laughed, “Hehe, I’ll order the food and lots of it. You’re paying for it after all, right?”

I thought back to my credit card; it still had 50,000 RMB. “Go for it. I invited you all, so feel free to eat as much as you want,” I nodded.

“In that case…” Dong Cheng laughed, “It’s rare that Xiao Yao is generous, so let’s eat a lot and maybe order some drinks as well? The high-quality, 500 RMB-a-bottle type of red wine…”
TL: 500 RMB = USD$80.59

I clenched my teeth, “Sure, just order one…”

……

Before long, fragrant dishes came out one by one onto the table. Hunan and Szechuan cuisines are truly the best with exquisite tastes. Hunan Cuisine emphasizes spiciness; originating from the early periods of the Han Dynasty when it became new style of cuisine.

I laughed, “Li Mu, you come from Yangzhou, so you must have eaten a lot of Jiangsu cuisine. Can you eat spicy food?”
TL: Jiangsu/Yangzhou = not so spicy food

Li Mu smiled, “Although I come from Yangzhou, I can stomach spicy food easily!”

“In that case, eat up!”

Pouring the wine, I stood up to give a toast, “I won’t be giving the traditional greeting but I do have to say a few things today! When I just joined Ba Huang City, I met with the General Family quite a few times. The first time was when you guys fought against [Prague] for a boss. If we hadn’t fought, we wouldn’t have become friends! Now, we both fought to protect [Valiant Bravery]- although we were defeated in the end – we still fought until the bitter end. Whether we emerged victorious or suffered defeat, we fought with all of our strength! We are men that fought for a promise, fought for a cause. We will never look back and we will never regret! Come, let us celebrate our lives and deaths together! Ganbei!”
TL: Ganbei is the chinese way to toast. Like Kanpai in Japanese.

Li Mu and Wang Jian stood up. Their eyes shone with excitement as they drank!

Wan Er, Dong Cheng, and Matcha only took a small sip–these little girls couldn’t drink like we could.

……

After Li Mu sat down, he said, “Xiao Yao, what do you plan to do in the future? Have you planned that out yet?”

I nodded, “I have! I will quickly try to get my hands on a Guild Creation Tablet, though I won’t pay for one since it’s too expensive. I’ve also already asked Yue Qing Qian to join once Zhan Long is established. She will immediately quit [Prague] to join Zhan Long. She is Ba Huang City’s number 1 Assassin. With her in Zhan Long, recruitment won’t be hard at all, it’s just that…”

“It’s just what?” Wang Jian asked.

I pondered out loud, “It’s just that Zhan Long has a shortage of manpower; it’s just me and the rest of the studio at the moment. Including some others, we have a little over 20 people a
