The server's gaze shifted with a hint of curiosity towards Lu Feng.
Lin Mei tilted her head, looking at the server. Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable sharpness.
"My friend here doesn't usually drink these low-end cocktails. He's accompanying me today."
Servers who frequented such establishments, amidst a world of material desires, inevitably picked up the greedy and snobbish traits of the environment. Hearing Lin Mei's words, the server realized this young man was no ordinary person. A professional, yet gentle smile gradually appeared on his face.
"These people really are fair-weather friends!" Lu Feng couldn't help but shake his head. Since descending the mountain, this was what he found most perplexing. Why couldn't people just get along harmoniously? Lu Feng couldn't understand why things had to be this way.
Lin Mei's lips curved slightly. "What can you do? That's just how people are!" The human species is like this. They can't stand seeing others do better than themselves, nor can they bear to see others prosper. "As the saying goes, where there are people, there is a martial world!"
Lin Mei spoke as she looked towards the stage bathed in spotlights not far away. On stage, several young men and women were singing with all their might. After watching for a moment, her gaze returned to Lu Feng's face.
"Shall we go sing later?" The more Lin Mei looked at the young man before her, the more she found him pleasing to her eye. If she was grateful to Lu Feng for rescuing her from the clutches of danger, then now, having witnessed his extraordinary abilities and sharp insight, her gratitude, buried deep in her heart, had transformed into admiration and affection. At this moment, Lin Mei looked at Lu Feng. Her eyes were like those of a devoted fan seeing her longed-for superstar.
Since they were out to celebrate, Lu Feng decided to let loose. Everything has a first time. Lin Mei's words were quite accurate. Even these experiences were a unique kind of feeling.
Just as he was about to speak, "Here are your cocktails. Please enjoy your evening!" The server politely and cautiously placed two exquisite glasses from a dark tray.
Cocktails. For these drinks, their appearance often outshone their taste. This was Lu Feng's first time seeing such a thing. He was captivated by the luster of the drink before him. "Drinks can be like this?" Lu Feng marveled silently. It was less a drink and more a work of art. In Lu Feng's memory, drinks were either crystal clear or robustly opaque. This drink before him, with its vibrant color, was exceptionally alluring. It instantly sparked Lu Feng's desire to taste it. What would this drink taste like?
Lu Feng reached out a hand. Just as he was about to grasp the glass, suddenly, *crash*! A crisp sound echoed. Before the sound could fade, a series of vibrations followed immediately. The table directly in front of Lu Feng shook violently several times. The drink on the table, under the violent shaking, tipped over.
"Lin Mei, what are you doing?" Lu Feng looked up in surprise, thinking that while it was a celebration, it was such a waste of a perfectly good drink. But before he could finish his sentence, Lu Feng's throat felt as if it were sealed by a century-old ice shard. Lin Mei, in front of him, was also stunned. The drink in her hand spilled out, a large portion of it splashing onto her light yellow dress.
"Who!" Lin Mei quickly looked up from her shock. She saw a stranger standing before her. This person's action was clearly deliberate. Lin Mei was instantly furious and about to curse. "What are you doing? Don't you have eyes!" However, the person showed no sign of apology. Instead, they leaned over the table towards Lin Mei.
"What do you want?" Sensing the person getting closer to her face, Lin Mei frowned instantly. "What do I want? I want to ask you to dance!" The man didn't smell of alcohol, but he exuded an air of drunken belligerence. It was clear he was feigning ignorance and looking for trouble.
"Who wants to dance with you!" Lin Mei glared fiercely at the man, her eyes wide. However, this person was completely overstepping. Before Lin Mei could finish speaking, a hairy hand suddenly grabbed her slender arm. This kind of person was a petty thug.
Lu Feng hadn't intended to bother with such a person. But this man not only had knocked over the first cocktail of his life, but he was also trying to take liberties with the first girl he had ever met, right in front of him. Lu Feng let out a low guttural sound from the depths of his throat. "Hey!" The sound was not loud, but it was highly distinctive. Amidst the surrounding noise, it was perfectly clear.
The man's brow furrowed. He then turned around and noticed a young boy sitting opposite Lin Mei. The man chuckled. "So you already have someone!" Before he could finish speaking, a person emerged from behind him, from the shadow cast by the overhead decorations. This person immediately stepped forward.
This person was the man's subordinate. The subordinate approached Lu Feng and leaned into his ear. "Kid, get lost. Don't be a nuisance here! You've heard of our Young Master Yang, haven't you? If you're smart, you'll leave. As long as your woman meets our Young Master's fancy, don't worry, if you make this call, you'll get your money!" The subordinate's expression then turned grim, his words filled with coercion. "If you're not sensible, then you'll see. Last week, some kid had to be carried home by four people!" The subordinate finished speaking and waited for the kid in front of him to get up.
The name Young Master Yang alone, anyone who had been to a bar twice would surely know. Seeing this pair, who knew about these high-class cocktails, the subordinate assumed they must have been here more than twice. Young Master Yang was a notorious playboy in Southeast City. He was the eldest son of Yang Feng Industrial Group. While this group, in terms of scale, couldn't yet compete with Zhang Ke, its development momentum in recent years had been fierce. As a result, this Young Master Yang always acted arrogantly in bars. Any bar girl that Yang Shuo fancied, he would always get. For over a year, the subordinate had watched Yang Shuo successfully win over many beautiful women using this method.
People who come to bars are either newly dating or seeking a night of excitement. Such relationships are not very strong. With a little coercion and temptation, it's all over. Besides, nowadays, how many girls don't like wealthy families? The subordinate waited silently, but half a minute passed quietly. The subordinate's face showed shock, as if he had just been slapped. Lu Feng was sitting steadily in his seat, showing no intention of moving even an inch!
"Are you looking for death!"
