“Prince, Miss Mu, here’s the wine!”
The Monkey Wine was the first to be delivered because it did not need to be cooked.
The owner was an old man with gray hair, carrying a wooden jug.
He was actually not weak, being at the Eighth Stage Hegemon.
Slowly, he poured the wine in the jug into each cup.
When the wine flowed out of the jug, its fragrance instantly spread in the night market, creating a stir among the people.
“Worthy of being considered the best wine on the Ice Continent,” they said.
“It is said that even the Demigods wouldn’t mind helping you if you gave them this wine,” added another.
“In fact, not all Demigods have ever drunk it.” Someone gave a very surprising piece of info.
Ciel listened to everyone’s conversation and then nodded to the old man after he finished pouring the wine in the jug into each of the cups. He said, “Your merit is greater than the Immortal Snow Mountains for giving me this wine. From now on, if anyone bothers you, just mention my name.”
“Thank you Prince!” The old man was instantly pleased with Ciel’s words.
This meant a guarantee of safety, at least on the Ice Continent.
The other merchants looked at each other when they heard that, and they became even more excited, hoping that Ciel would also say that to them.
“You’re sure it’s worth mentioning your name?” Mu Yixue asked Ciel in a low voice, even making a faint barrier to block her voice.
Clearly her purpose was to mock Ciel for overestimating herself.
In truth, her mockery sounded more like teasing, but this also showed that Mu Yixue had a slight desire to resist Ciel’s dominance.
In response to her words, Ciel pinched her waist so that her back straightened.
“You still dare to doubt, huh, wait until all the Gods in this world obey me, then who wouldn’t tremble at my name?” He said so confidently that Mu Yixue had no more words to say.
She could only glance at him as if to say: what a narcissistic man.
Finally, there was one who finished cooking, a middle-aged man with a big sword on his back.
He carried a tray on which was a roasted chicken with four wings.
The chicken was coated in various spices, from chili peppers to a hundred kinds of onions.
The aroma literally made everyone who smelled it look like they were losing steam, which of course was due to their stomachs becoming very hungry.
“Please enjoy our meal, Prince. If there are any missing parts, please let me know, I am ready to accept the punishment for my failure.” The middle-aged man said, not forgetting to lick Ciel.
Ciel didn’t resent the sycophant licking him, he smiled in response and replied, “From the aroma, I can tell it’s absolutely perfect. Even if there are flaws, they can be covered up by the advantages. Don’t worry, from now on, you also have the right to call my name if anyone bothers you.”
The middle-aged man immediately smiled at Ciel’s words. His smile was wider than that of an ape.
After him, the others also shared their dishes with Ciel, each getting the same rights as the first two.
This made people praise Ciel as a kind-hearted man for repaying the kindness of others many times over.
Of course, opinions sometimes differ from people who look at things differently.
Luca for example, snorted coldly after he heard everything Ciel said. 𝑂𝑽𝐿xt.𝑪𝑜𝗆
“A foolish boy who knows no bounds, using his background at will, will definitely bring disaster one day,” he said, which the old man behind him unfortunately didn’t quite agree with.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with Luca’s words.
Unfortunately, it only applies to his background.
Ciel’s background, on the other hand, was too strong.
The old man could not think of a scenario where it would be destroyed just because Ciel repaid the merchants’ kindness.
It’s not like he was making trouble for no reason.
The old man even thought, ‘Your Highness, here you are the one with the problem, just because a woman chose another man, you want to make a scene.’
Ciel didn’t know anything about them. Once all the food was ready, she began to eat.
Here, he didn’t ask Mu Yixue for help.
He took a fork, stabbing a piece of meat before eating it.
“Mm, this is delicious!” He said because it did have a flavor that matched the smell.
Afterwards, he patted Mu Yixue’s waist, signaling for her to eat as well.
However, the woman still seemed hesitant as she saw many gazes around them.
Realizing that she was uncomfortable being watched by so many people, Ciel finally waved his hand.
“Go away, continue with your activities, I’m here to eat, not to be watched,” he said in a loud voice.
When he spoke, no one dared to argue.
They started doing their activities again, including the merchants.
Looking at them now, Mu Yixue sighed. “We should have just come quietly, and disguised our figures,” she said.
“Do you feel that our date has been somewhat interrupted?” asked Ciel, making her glance at him as if to say: stop teasing me.
At the moment, she seemed to be feeling more comfortable as she started to eat as well.
The two of them did not eat fast, but neither did they eat slow.
They ate while enjoying the atmosphere of this night market.
It’s not just trade but also entertainment.
There are some people playing fun music.
At this point, Ciel wanted to drink the monkey wine.
He took both cups of wine and placed one of them in Mu Yixue’s hand.
He did this so that she would also drink now.
“Come on, my dear Yixue,” he said as he brought the cup to his mouth and kept looking into Mu Yixue’s eyes so that she would have no other choice but to start drinking too.
“Mm!” Ciel was immediately surprised by the sensation in his mouth.
The wine was warm, so it was perfect for the cold weather of this city.
However, it also had a flavor that seemed to be integrated with its warmth.
Just by drinking a little of it, his skin had already become slightly red and hos body had become light.
The wind blowing around was enough to make him feel like he was floating in the sky.
