CHAPTER 362: Hotel Attack
Yes, in Miss Meigen's eyes, both Meg and Laura were exceptionally outstanding. Even Ni'er, who had always been somewhat inconspicuous, was considered a very decent girl by Meigen.
However, these three girls are actually Zhao Hai's, which Meigen simply couldn't understand. She had met Zhao Hai before; he wasn't even taller than Laura, had an ordinary appearance, and his demeanor? Just average, looking somewhat sullen. How could a man with no remarkable traits earn the affection of such excellent girls like Meg and Laura? It seemed utterly unreasonable.
Although Meigen thought this in her heart, she didn't voice it. After all, she wasn't close enough with Meg and Laura to discuss such matters.
Tianshui City was indeed a paradise for women who loved shopping. Here, you could buy anything from anywhere on the continent, with all sorts of shops lined up. The three of them, accompanied by several guards, continuously entered and exited those stores, with the guards' hands overflowing with items. Even more exaggerated was the cart following closely behind the guards, which was also filled to the brim with goods.
Shopping for women was akin to drinking for men; many women didn't understand why men loved to drink so much, happy or unhappy, they would drink. Just like men didn't understand why women enjoyed shopping so much, sometimes just browsing even without buying anything—it was truly puzzling.
Xu Wanying had been following Laura and Meg today. He didn’t follow Zhao Hai but was sent by him to look after Laura. With him around, Laura and the others wouldn’t have to worry if they faced any trouble.
To ensure Laura's safety even better, Zhao Hai had also given them the Evil Spirit Staff. That way, if anything happened, Zhao Hai could reach them in no time.
After shopping until close to noon, Meigen noticed the time and turned to Laura, saying, “Sister Laura, let's take a break and grab something to eat.”
Laura looked at the sky, nodded, and replied, “Sure, I’m a bit hungry too. Let's go.”
Meigen smiled and said, “Today we'll just wander around outside. Let's head east; there's a seafood restaurant there that is quite famous for its dishes in Tianshui City.”
Naturally, Laura and Meg wouldn’t object. Since they rarely had an opportunity to go out like this, they intended to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
After getting into the carriage, they quickly arrived in front of a restaurant named Ocean House. This establishment was quite large, seven stories high, and had the best seafood and the most variety in all of Tianshui City.
Today, they were riding in Meigen's carriage, which was pulled by a fourth-level magical beast, the snowflake divine steed, just like the one Laura had previously used. It seemed that girls were particularly fond of such handsome white horses.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of Ocean House, a person walked straight out from the store. Dressed in merchant attire, he looked quite ordinary but wore a friendly smile that gave a warm impression.
Upon seeing Meigen get out of the carriage, the man hurried over and bowed, saying, “I've heard of Miss Meigen’s arrival. It is truly an honor for our little shop.”
Meigen maintained a polite smile and replied, “You're too kind, shopkeeper. I just brought two friends here to try your seafood. Please arrange a table for us.”
The shopkeeper immediately responded, “A table has already been prepared for you on the sixth floor in the 'Sea' room. Not only can you enjoy a meal there, but you can also see the sea view. It's our best room.”
Meigen smiled, saying, “Thank you, shopkeeper. Please lead the way.” The shopkeeper quickly gestured for them to enter.
The shopkeeper personally escorted Meigen to the elevator. Upon reaching the sixth floor and entering the Sea room, it was indeed very nice. The room was over forty square meters, featuring a dining table and a lounge area, with the lounge area facing the window, providing a view of the sea through glass.
