Chapter 1359: Home-Inn Hotel
Soon, the children gathered by Lin Feng’s side, delighted to hear that he was taking them to play. They excitedly followed him towards the resort, while Xia Chupeng and Song Liao were bewildered, not understanding what this resort was all about. Still, since Lin Feng and the children were going, they decided to follow as well.
And so, the group entered the resort. The seaside resort was quite famous, at least in the surrounding areas of Tianhai. It had a rocky beach and a sandy beach, with clear sea water. Many tourists strolled leisurely along the shore, while some children played by the water.
"Teacher Lanlan and I will go check out the rocky beach, Jianping and Jianwu, you two come with us. The others can accompany them for a walk." Upon entering the resort, Lin Feng surveyed the surroundings and directed. He had some thoughts of spending some alone time with Xia Lalan and didn’t want others to disturb them.
"Okay, Teacher Lin!"
"Don’t worry!"
"We’re off to play!"
...
The children readily agreed to Lin Feng’s instructions and prepared to act accordingly. But unexpectedly, Xia Chupeng spoke up at that moment.
"Mr. Lin, I wonder if I could join you, if it wouldn’t be a bother." Xia Chupeng smiled as he looked at Lin Feng. He had his reasons for asking; he felt that Lin Feng hadn’t quite accepted him and Song Liao as one of them, fearing Lin Feng had something to discuss with Xia Lalan.
Upon hearing Xia Chupeng, Lin Feng smiled and said, "It doesn’t matter, if you want to follow, then follow."
But the moment Lin Feng finished speaking, the children’s voices rang out.
"You better come with us."
"Teacher Lin was just being polite, can’t you tell?"
"How come you have no perception, can’t you see what’s happening?"
...
The children, without a second thought, dragged Xia Chupeng and Song Liao away. Lin Feng and Xia Lalan got along so well, what was the point of these two squeezing in? There was no way they’d let them ruin the good thing between Lin Feng and Xia Lalan. They were eager to see Lin Feng and Xia Lalan together!
Dragged away by the children, Xia Chupeng and Song Liao realized what was happening, shook their heads with a smile, and went off with the kids to explore elsewhere.
"We’ll slip away too. Call us when you’re ready. Boss, we support you!" At this point, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, in human form, said with a smile, pulling the somewhat inert Dark Flame Sky-Burning Tiger along. The meaning in his words was clear to anyone.
"..."
Xia Lalan’s face instantly turned red and even a bit hot, embarrassed beyond words, thinking how those kids and the two Great Demons could say such things, making her feel so awkward!
"It’s okay, let’s sit over there for a while." Lin Feng had noticed Xia Lalan’s awkwardness as well and said calmly, not wanting her to feel too uncomfortable. He took her hand and led her towards the rocky beach, causing Xia Lalan’s heart to race like a rabbit. She wondered what Lin Feng intended to say and why he held her hand...
Soon, they arrived at the rocky beach, picking a huge rock as tall as several people to sit on. Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu sensibly moved to the side, keeping watch for Lin Feng and Xia Lalan to prevent any disturbances.
The weather was no longer hot, with a cool ocean breeze making it particularly comfortable. Watching the vast ocean, they felt cheerful and open-hearted. They didn’t speak but simply sat there, enjoying the peaceful moment.
"Lin Feng, look over there! What a curious stone!" Suddenly, Xia Lalan noticed a very peculiar stone not far away. It was extraordinarily glossy from the sea’s erosion, but that wasn’t the main point. The main thing was that the massive stone looked like a praying person, causing her to marvel at nature’s wonders!
Following Xia Lalan’s gaze, Lin Feng saw the peculiar stone too and smiled at her, saying, "Actually, there are many such unique landscapes on Earth. If spiritual energy hadn’t dwindled, this place might have looked different. Perhaps there might not even be a beach here, but a towering mountain instead."
"How could that be?" Xia Lalan asked in surprise upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. She couldn’t possibly connect the beach of rocks before her with a mountain.
Seeing Xia Lalan’s puzzled expression, Lin Feng smiled and explained to her, "All the blessings of heaven and earth are actually nourished by spiritual energy. Have you noticed any differences between the mountains in the Hidden World and those in the Secular World? In the Hidden World, mountains only grow taller over time, thanks to the nourishment of spiritual energy. In the Secular World, however, the scarcity of spiritual energy means many mountains erode over time and eventually become scattered stones. So it’s quite possible that this rocky beach by the sea evolved from a mountain in the past."
"So that’s how it is." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, Xia Lalan finally understood what he meant. Thinking it over carefully, it did seem to be the case; the mountains in the Hidden World are all towering, something rarely seen in the Secular World. It turns out it’s all due to the nourishment of spiritual energy.
But then she became interested in the peculiar landscapes Lin Feng mentioned, so she asked him, "Are there many other unique places in the Secular World?"
"Of course there are, many! For instance, Niagara Falls, the East African Rift, the underground caves of Zhangjiajie..." Lin Feng, noticing Xia Lalan’s interest, casually listed a few famous natural wonders of the world. The humanoid boulder they were looking at paled in comparison to these wonders.
"Wow, there are so many places!"
"This is actually just a small part of it."
"I’d really love to explore them, but unfortunately, we don’t have the time."
"No rush, there’ll always be time."
"Yeah, I’m not in a hurry..."
...
Afterwards, the two of them started chatting casually, naturally and effortlessly. This kind of conversation made Lin Feng feel comfortable and Xia Lalan very happy. She didn’t know much about the Secular World, but after hearing Lin Feng’s stories, she became even more interested, thinking in her heart that she must go out with Lin Feng for a spin once they have time...
...
Meanwhile, Xia Chupeng, along with the others and the kids, took a stroll and played on the beach for a while. The sea breeze made them feel quite comfortable. In their world, although there are seas, their seas are not like this; the raging waves aren’t something an ordinary person can get close to. Compared to that, Earth’s seas are truly calm, making it a great place to relax.
The kids, on the other hand, went completely wild, running to the beach to catch the small crabs scurrying by and imitating tourists who were searching for shellfish buried in the sand. When they found some pretty shells, they immediately scrambled for them. These were things they had never seen in the Hidden World, making them feel excited and curious.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and when noon came, the kids felt hungry. They pulled Xia Chupeng and Song Liao towards a row of restaurants not far from the seaside.
One of the restaurants looked quite large, with at least three to four hundred square meters. The huge signboard read Home-Inn Hotel, and the decor was very imposing, suggesting it should be quite good. So the group directly entered this restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant was a chubby bald man, who at first glance could be mistaken for a ball. Seeing so many people coming into his place, he was overjoyed and personally came over to greet them. However, he didn’t speak to the children but rather to Xia Chupeng and Song Liao.
"Gentlemen, you must be teachers from the school, bringing so many kids out must be tiring. I have many delicious dishes here, and here’s the menu. Feel free to order!" The restaurant owner, Huang San, said very courteously to Xia Chupeng and Song Liao.
Xia Chupeng and Song Liao weren’t too concerned about these matters. They casually led the children to sit down, opened the menu, and curiously looked at the items listed, wondering about the taste of these dishes. Estimating the number of kids, they directly instructed the owner, "Bring us two servings of everything on the menu. If it’s not enough, we’ll order more!"
After saying this, they just handed the menu back to the owner. They had no idea what the dishes were, so they didn’t know what was good and what was not. For the sake of simplicity, they ordered like this, figuring if something tasted good, they could always order more.
The kids watching at the side laughed, but their laughter was reserved. They knew these two immortals came from another place, and not having eaten seafood was normal. However, seeing such a thick menu, they thought two servings of each would be enough, especially since they could always order more. So they didn’t mind much either.
"Sure thing, please wait, I’ll immediately have the kitchen start cooking!" Huang San was delighted to see them order like this, looking at Xia Chupeng and Song Liao as if they were two fat sheep. It’s worth noting that there weren’t that many dishes on the menu, just about sixty or so. Ordering two servings of each meant he wouldn’t need to serve anyone else that day. With a shout, he personally went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes.
Under Huang San’s urging, it didn’t take long for dish after dish to be served on the table. Because there were quite a few kids, even with large tables, they needed to split into two to have enough seating. As the dishes arrived, Xia Chupeng and the children started eating.
They hadn’t expected the food to taste so good that it immediately made them happy. They quickly joined the kids in eating all sorts of seafood, thoroughly enjoying it. Likewise, the kids, who also hadn’t eaten such food before, relished the novelty. The seafood disappeared quickly, and soon all the dishes on the table were finished.
After eating, they just felt slightly satisfied for the moment. But rather than ordering more at the same place, they decided to move from restaurant to restaurant, trying everything they hadn’t eaten before. They thought how mortals on Earth really knew how to enjoy life, having such delicious things. Opening a restaurant like this in their world would cause a sensation, for it was just too delicious, incredibly so.
