Myth Beyond Heaven

"Little Forest? Not bad. At least there's no smoke word in it." Yun Lintian stood in front of a fancy restaurant called "Little Forest." He resumed his routine by looking for a restaurant and gaining information.

Standing on the side, Mu Qiuxue had already put a veil on her face in case someone might recognize her. She glanced at the green building in front of her and gave no opinion.

"Let's go." Yun Lintian beckoned and entered the restaurant.

Unlike other restaurants' regular operations, no waiter came forward to receive Yun Lintian and Mu Qiuxue. They could only look for an empty table nearby the window to sit down.

A moment later, a young waitress came to Yun Lintian's side and handed two menus to them. "Hello, esteemed guests. You can take a look at the menu first and call me when you're ready to order. Thank you."

Afterward, she quickly walked away to receive other guests.

Yun Lintian glanced at the menu and nodded inwardly. This was the first time he saw a restaurant that operated like the one on Earth.

"You can order what you want. No need to be restrained." Yun Lintian made a gesture to Mu Qiuxue and began to check the menu with Linlin.

As the peak Monarch, Mu Qiuxue didn't need to eat or sleep, but she was accustomed to having three meals a day after staying with Yun Lintian for a period. During her time with him, she always saw him eating and sleeping like a mortal. This made her wonder at first, but later she seemed to understand something and began to follow his habit.

A while later, Yun Lintian called the waiter to take an order and began to observe the dining hall.

The restaurant's interior was decorated with plants and vines, giving a forest vibe. Yun Lintian found it interesting as he discovered the grades of flowers and plants here were not low. Each one of them could be sold at a high price. Obviously, the owner must be very rich and powerful.

As Yun Lintian glanced around, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure clad in a pale green robe at the corner of the hall. Her face was covered with a thick green veil, making Yun Lintian unable to see her face clearly. However, her temperament was extraordinary. Otherwise, Yun Lintian wouldn't notice her in the beginning.

Two young women sat on her left and right with lower postures. Evidently, they possessed a lower position than the green robe woman. Yun Lintian believed she should have an unusual status.

It was as though the green-robed woman noticed Yun Lintian's gaze; she turned to look at him and nodded gently.

Yun Lintian wasn't surprised by this. He returned with a slight nod and polite smile before looking elsewhere.

"Have you heard it? The Plum Mountain Saintess arrived here yesterday." At this moment, a man in a decent blue robe said.

Plum Mountain Saintess?… Yun Lintian's interest was piqued immediately when he heard this. According to Xu Yudie, the Plum Mountain Sect was only second to the Divine Phoenix Palace. Why would such an important figure come to this city?

A man in a whiter robe sat opposite the blue-robed man asked curiously. "Really? Why did she come here?"

"You don't remember what happened a few months ago?" The blue-robed man lowered his voice.

"You mean… That incident?" The white-robed man said with a trace of fear in his eyes.

That incident?… Yun Lintian took a sip of tea and concentrated on their conversation.

"Yeah. Undoubtedly, she came here to investigate this matter. I also heard that the true successor of the Eternal Sword Sect, Wen Zishan, appeared here last night… If you don't have anything to do, you better stay at home during this period. I'm afraid something big is about to happen soon." The blue-robed man replied.

"It's not that serious, right? After all, it has nothing to do with us." The white-robed man said in doubt.

"You can decide by yourself. Don't say it later that I didn't warn you." The blue-robed man was lazy to convince his friend further.

The white-robed man was about to say something. He suddenly saw the woman beside the green-robed woman look over. His heart skipped a beat for a second as he perceived an unkind gaze from her. Not to mention she seemed to possess high strength. With his pitiful Earth Profound Realm's power, he would undoubtedly die if he offended her.

The blue-robed man saw his friend's face turn pale. He was curious and followed the latter's gaze. The next moment, his face froze, and his whole body instantly turned rigid.

"P… Plum Mountain Saintess!" The blue-robed man uttered in difficulty. His face was void of blood. He seemed to see a gate of hell appear before him.

The movement of the two immediately alarmed everyone. They were curious and looked over at the green-robed woman. Those with high status instantly recognized her. This woman was no other than the Plum Mountain Saintess, Tong Liya!

"Little Hong, don't scare people." Tong Liya said softly. Her voice was extremely pleasant to hear, like a gentle breeze in autumn.

The woman in a red robe lowered her head and replied. "I'm sorry, Saintess. I couldn't help when I heard they talk about you."

Tong Liya said. "They didn't say anything bad. You don't have to be angry. Have you forgotten what I told you before coming here?"

The red-robed woman, Little Hong, said timidly. "I was wrong, Saintess. I won't do it again."

A gentle smile appeared beneath the veil as Tong Liya looked at everyone in the dining hall. "I apologize to everyone on behalf of my maid for disturbing your meal. I will pay for this meal's consumption. Please do continue."

A loud cheer resounded as everyone expressed their gratitude to Tong Liya before continuing their meals.

The blue-robed man and white-robed man quickly apologized to Tong Liya and hurriedly left the restaurant under Tong Liya's helpless gaze.

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised when he discovered her identity. Who would have thought the protagonist in the earlier conversation was sitting here?

Just as Yun Lintian turned around and prepared to enjoy his meal, he suddenly heard Tong Liya's voice. "This gentleman, may I have a word with you?"
