Chapter 100: You're Suffocating Me
The day after Lü Su'e left, Zhu Zhi and the others arrived, and they dragged Zhou Heng to Tianhang City, saying that they wanted to celebrate properly.
They had been suppressed by their elders for a long time, so they also missed Zhou Heng and Shangguan Qi's battle. It wasn't until Zhu Zhihe and Liu Yan both broke through to the Jiling Realm around the same time that the four of them were finally let out to relax.
Zhou Heng couldn't resist their enthusiasm and went with them to the Songhe Pavilion in Tianhang City, which was also a top-notch wine house.
"I'm telling you, brother, can't you cultivate a bit slower? Brother just entered the Gathering Spirit Realm and you've already reached the third heaven of Gathering Spirit with a few slaps. You're not giving me any face at all!" Zhū Zhì Hé patted Zhōu Héng's shoulder jokingly.
"Yes, the cultivation is still the same as before, but the gap is getting bigger and bigger! I say Zhou Heng, are you really a three-star spiritual body?" Yu Zhenye sighed sorrowfully, and he was even more unwell. Until now, he was still at the peak of the 12th layer of body refinement, not to mention that the gap with Zhou Heng was getting bigger and bigger, but also being surpassed by Zhū Zhìhé and Liú Yán.
"Guaranteed to be genuine!" Zhou Heng smiled slightly, but he knew that if he were to take the spiritual body test again, he would definitely have become a four-star spiritual body, and it was even possible for him to become a five-star spiritual body. After breaking through to the third layer of the Congregating Spirit Heaven, his two bloodline powers had also increased significantly.
But he couldn't tell anyone this, for if people knew that the quality of their blood could be elevated, wouldn't they be frightened to death?
"Yu Lao Er, you are now Yu Lao San, if you don't work harder, you will become Yu Lao Si! " Zhu Zhi and Ha laughed loudly, "Don't let Wan Lao Si surpass you too!"
"He's definitely going to be the fourth!" Wan Liang said confidently.
"Hmph, I'll lose to you, you fat pig!" Yu Zhenye said unwillingly.
They have been good friends for many years and don't mind saying a few rough words to each other.
Five people entered the Songhe Hall, but there were no private rooms on the first floor. They had to go upstairs to find one. However, these private rooms were not as private as they seemed, merely separated by screens that couldn't block out the sounds from other tables.
Fortunately, the people here are quite elegant and speak in extremely low voices. If you're not paying attention, it's basically impossible to hear them.
The shopkeeper led the way for Zhou Heng and his five men, winding through a maze-like path, when Zhou Heng suddenly stopped in his tracks, cocking his head to listen intently.
"Zhou Heng, what's wrong?" Liu Yan discovered that Zhou Heng had stopped and turned his head to ask.
Zhou Heng smiled at him and walked into a "private room" with a slight bow, as there was no door, only screens separated them, and they could move around freely.
"Sir! Sir!" The shop assistant was anxious, if he let Zhou Heng disturb others' meals, he would be scolded. He hurried over to stop him, but how could he stop Zhou Heng? Before he even touched his clothes, Zhou Heng had already walked in.
"Sir, you can't do this——" The shop assistant also rushed in and first scolded Zhou Heng in a low voice, then turned around to face the two people who were eating, constantly bowing and apologizing, "Two customers, we're really sorry! We're really sorry!"
At a glance, they were both young people in their early twenties. The man was handsome and elegant, while the woman was as beautiful as a flower, especially her breasts, which were so high that they seemed to be able to pierce through the clouds, making his eyes almost straight.
"Zhou Heng, you're too rude!" the man in the private room rebuked, his face showing clear displeasure. His massive aura swept over, and although it wasn't directed at the shop assistant, it still made him go weak in the knees and plop down onto the floor.
Zhou Heng, however, was unmoved. To intimidate him with sheer aura, one would need to be at least a Three Realms Overlord! He smiled faintly and sat down beside the beautiful woman, saying, "What brings you here?"
Completely ignored that man!
Both men and women know Zhou Heng, the man is Liu Shengjie, and the woman is Gu Zi. He just heard Gu Zi's voice and came in temporarily.
"He said he wanted to talk to me about the Da Yun Sheng Hui matter!" Gu Zi pointed at Liu Sheng Jie, his face still with that eternally calm expression.
"Liu brother, don't mind me sitting down and listening together, okay?" Zhou Heng smiled.
What's wrong with you? You've already sat down, do I care if you get up?
Liu Shengjie cursed in his heart, but Zhou Heng's identity was different from before. As the son-in-law of a strong man in the Open Heaven Realm, everyone had to show some respect, and he was no longer the small fry of Xinghe Institute as before.
How hateful! An Yumeng was clearly his target, if he could marry this born seductress, this status would be his now!
Zhou Heng this idiot, doesn't even know how to use this card, if it were him now, Tianhang Jiufeng would definitely be his already! What a waste, what a waste! How did this moron deceive An Yumei?
Looking left and right, I couldn't see what's so special about this kid. He's not a handsome guy who stands out from the crowd, nor is he a majestic hero. Could it be that he's skilled in bed and satisfied An Yumei, that slut?
He did guess a few points, but the process and actual situation still have some deviations. If not for Zhou Heng's rescue, An Yumei would definitely have been ruined after being humiliated, and if not for Zhou Heng's excellence, she would at most let him wear the title of husband, and would never let him touch her again!
Zhou Heng is indeed not a handsome man, but isn't he outstanding?
"It turned out to be the son-in-law of the An family, please sit down!" Liu Shengjie bit the word "please" particularly hard, naturally mocking Zhou Heng's uninvited sitting, and also pointing out Zhou Heng's identity, warning Gu Zi that this man was already a married man.
In this day and age, men have multiple wives, but would an outstanding woman like Guzi share a man with other women? Of course not!
"Zhou brothers, you——" Zhū Zhì and the four others also followed in, when they saw Liu Shengjie, they immediately shut their mouths one after another, under his intimidating aura, they were still filled with fear.
Liu Shengjie was about to explode with anger, he had finally found an excuse to invite Gu Zi out, but before they could even exchange a few words, unrelated people kept popping up one after another!
An Yumei has already fallen to the Zhou family, and he is not a person who can't let go. He immediately shifted his target to Gu Zi, who was also on his list of beauties to pursue. Unlike pursuing An Yumei for her background, Gu Zi herself is a rare beauty, and if he could marry her, it would be a great help!
Of course he also considered Gu Lu. Although the two women were twin sisters, as a man with an aesthetic view that was not different from each other, it was natural to choose who would be very simple.
"Everyone sit down!" Liu Shengjie said in a low voice, he had to maintain his demeanor in front of Gu Zi.
Zhou Heng sat next to Gu Zi, turned his head to the shopkeeper and said: "Trouble you to bring five more pairs of chopsticks, and the menu. This dish is not enough to eat, can't let people say that Brother Liu is stingy!"
Liu Shengjie was so angry that he almost jumped up, he just asked Zhou Heng and others to sit down, where did he say he wanted to invite them to eat together? It's really unexpected that Zhou Heng's face is so thick!
The dishes on the table are certainly not enough for a meal, this was originally meant for two people to enjoy!
But Liu Shengjie was after all Liu Shengjie, not his brother who delighted in causing trouble! He immediately calmed down and thought that this kid had been humiliated by him before, now he was intentionally stirring up trouble. If he lost his temper, it would be exactly what the kid wanted!
Not bad, my target is Guzi, and this kid also figured it out, deliberately ruining my image in Guzi's eyes!
Damn bastard, should have found an excuse to get rid of him at first, otherwise how would there be the current awkwardness!
Liu Shengjie clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes almost spat out flames. He quickly calmed down, suppressing the anger in his heart, and a bright smile instantly appeared on his face, as if he didn't care at all.
The shopkeeper saw that both sides knew each other, so he naturally relaxed and quickly brought over five pairs of chopsticks and a menu for Zhou Heng to order.
Zhou Heng didn't care about anything and just chose the most expensive dishes. The most expensive dish actually cost 100 spirit stones, which he also took without hesitation!
Liu Shengjie's heart was bleeding, he naturally knew how expensive Zhou Heng's dishes were, but what was depressing was that he still had to maintain a smiling expression as if nothing was wrong.
The strength gap between the top nine peaks of Tianheng is very large. Just because Yan Yinglong can take out 20,000 spiritual stones doesn't mean that Liu Shengjie can too. After all, one was from the first peak and the other was from the ninth peak.
Liu Shengjie's entire family fortune was probably around three thousand spirit stones, which was enough to pay for this meal, but just one meal had cost over four hundred spirit stones. How could he not be heartbroken?
If these four hundred spirit stones could win Gu Zi's heart, it would be worth it. The disgusting thing is that this secret meeting turned into a dinner party of seven people, and there was no longer any romantic atmosphere to speak of.
He threw more than 400 spirit stones into the water!
He lost nearly 20% of his family's assets in an instant, and even Liu Shengjie's temperament turned pale, although he was smiling, it was extremely awkward.
The dishes were served quickly at Songhe Hall, one after another, without a break, and all the dishes that Zhou Heng had ordered were ready in less than ten minutes.
"Come on, come on, eat up!" Zhou Heng deliberately annoyed Liu Shengjie, picking up his chopsticks and beckoning him to start eating, as if he were the host.
Zhu Zhihe and the four of them were all smiling, they already knew Zhou Heng had a background, so naturally they didn't need to fear what Liu Shengjie would do, they just started eating. Not to mention, such expensive dishes they had never eaten before, only those powerful ones in the realm of splitting the earth had the qualifications to enjoy, at this time they were all devouring like wolves and tigers, each one like a starving ghost.
"Try some of this steamed eel, brother and sister! The meat is tender and delicious, with a lingering aftertaste!" Zhū Zhìhé also didn't bother to eat, but instead put down his chopsticks and called out to Gǔ Zī.
"Stop spouting nonsense!" Liu Shengjie finally couldn't help but shout, this younger brother and sister were definitely following Zhou Heng's lead, if he didn't speak up now, then he would truly be a foolish scapegoat.
"Brother Liu, what did I say wrong?" Zhū Zhì's face was full of grievance. Although their cultivation levels were far apart, they were of the same generation and naturally treated each other as equals, which was a private friendship.
This kid really knows how to pretend!
Zhou Heng couldn't bear the sight of Liu Shengjie, so he immediately picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in Guzi's bowl, saying: "Eat some more!"
"Hmm!" Gu Zi nodded and picked up a piece of fish meat that Zhou Heng had brought over with her chopsticks, chewing slowly.
Liu Shengjie almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
