Chapter 236 Lanqi's New Journey

When the gentle, black-haired young man placed his hand on the door handle of Cat Boss Restaurant, a string of bells jingled merrily, as if welcoming his arrival.

The moment he pushed open the door, the refreshing aroma of fruit-infused tea wafted towards him, mingling with the cold winter air, making him feel invigorated and pleasant.

Lanqi, carrying a small suitcase, stepped into Cat Boss Restaurant.

Before Lanqi could even scan the shop, he spotted Hyperion and Talia waiting for him at a table near the entrance on the first floor.

The lazy afternoon sun slanted onto the wooden table by the window.

Talia, propping her chin with one hand, gazed out the window, giving Lanqi a quick glance before returning her gaze outside, as usual.

Hyperion, on the other hand, was holding the little black cat in one arm. She picked up the suitcase and approached Lanqi with a smile.

Outside the window, the wind chimes under the eaves rang once more, as if whispering, "You've arrived."

"Lanqi, should we leave now?"

She hadn't left the royal capital many times since she was little.

She felt a bit nervous about going so far away.

But thinking about it, it was almost like the Shadow World.

The Shadow World was just a super long trip without the return journey...

"Yes, we have plenty of time."

Lanqi confirmed their train ticket time and replied.

After a moment, his gaze shifted to the little black cat in Hyperion's arms.

"Are you planning to take Cat Boss with us?"

Lanqi asked, puzzled, seeing that Hyperion wasn't planning to put the little black cat down.

"Cat Boss said it wants to travel too."

Hyperion glanced at Cat Boss.

Whether it could come along depended on Lanqi's opinion.

"Meow! Although I'm weak, I'm a genuine seventh-order spirit beast!"

Cat Boss wagged its tail proudly.

The young man and woman were embarking on a journey, and it wanted to observe it closely!

Besides, the human it was raising was too strange.

One more look, just one more look…

"Uh…"

Lanqi looked troubled after hearing this.

"Lanqi, Hyperion... am I causing you trouble...? I can cook for you and take care of you..."

Cat Boss asked timidly in its childish voice.

It was very good at taking care of people.

"No, I'm wondering which kind of ticket I should buy for you."

Lanqi, a law-abiding citizen, would never do anything like skipping a train fare.

But he was now struggling to decide whether to buy Cat Boss a child's ticket or an adult ticket, or pay for pet or luggage transportation fees.

A seventh-order spirit cat was really hard to categorize.

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something very impolite..."

Cat Boss was stunned for a moment, then muttered to itself.

Hyperion shook her head.

That's just how he is.

He can often express the most impolite thoughts in his heart in the most polite way.

But thinking about it, it would be wonderful to have a great chef accompany them on a long trip.

Back in the Holy Church Shadow World, it was fortunate that the merchant's young master's guard siblings were very skilled in cooking, otherwise, none of them were particularly good at cooking, and the next four days would certainly not have been so pleasant.

And there was no need to worry too much about Cat Boss's safety.

Although its combat power was extremely weak, its talent magic, [Shadow Dive], was a very powerful self-preservation skill. It was a compound magic of dark and spatial attributes. As long as the host didn't die, it was almost never in danger.

In this world, it was rare to encounter a being with spatial magic affinity in a hundred years. There were even fewer records of spatial magic handed down. Only some races had a chance to draw it out as a talent after reaching the sixth order.

"But what about your shop?"

Lanqi thought that Cat Boss Restaurant was always short of staff, and if the head chef left, how would it operate normally.

"I've left it to Asina and Tata! Asina is my student now, and the two of them will run the shop well!"

Cat Boss jumped onto Lanqi's shoulder with a leap, saying proudly.

"Senior Asina is very reliable."

Ever since Lanqi and Hyperion had asked for Asina's desserts to visit Talia,

Talia had given them a very high evaluation.

Asina then asked Hyperion to continue bringing new desserts to Talia. After a while, Hyperion brought Asina to Cat Boss Restaurant to communicate with Talia in person. Asina, who aspired to become a top chef, quickly became familiar with the food critic Talia.

Now that Y刻里忒 Academy was on vacation, Asina, who was the vice president of the student council, didn't have much work to do. She had originally planned to concentrate on studying cooking during the vacation.

"Don't you also have a friend named Monastyr?"

Cat Boss asked again.

"Yes, he's our president."

Lanqi didn't know how Senior Monastyr knew Cat Boss.

"Monastyr is very steady, and he's also a business student in the Alchemy Department. He said he's very grateful for my care for Asina. During the months I'm away, he will also help me as much as possible to improve the restaurant's business, meow..."

Cat Boss said happily,

"I can't help but imagine that when I come back, the turnover might increase by 20%!"

"..."

Lanqi didn't say anything after hearing this.

"Then you can look forward to it."

Hopefully, it won't become Cat Boss Bank by then.
