Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 364 Candy House

Dawn City is even richer and more prosperous than Tadar.

The tall buildings are like fish scales and comb teeth, crisscrossing and majestic, just like a silver snake entwined in the city.

The streets are very wide, with a constant flow of cars and people, and are densely populated.

There are many outsiders like Li Pu and his friends in the city, but they are not from the East, but from the heart of the Western Empire.

Most of these people are merchants and nobles, who come here to enjoy themselves or to do business.

This place is praised by the empire as a paradise on earth. Nobles can enjoy pleasures that are not available elsewhere, and merchants can purchase almost anything in the world here.

The only thing that has caused some criticism is that outsiders are not allowed to live here permanently. Once the pass expires, even the nobles of the empire must leave.

The smiles on people's faces on the street made Katielena feel much better. She could sense the pure kindness in the hearts of these people.

It seems that things like what happened outside the city are only rare cases. This is the city of the goddess of dawn, how could there be so many evil people.

Even if some people here have been corrupted by the devil, it is impossible for all of them to have lost their conscience.

"Nip, what's wrong with you? You've been looking gloomy since we came into the city." Caterina felt that Lip seemed to be in a bad mood. She hooked her fingers in Lip's palm and hugged Lip's arm closer.

"It's okay, I'm just a little hungry." Li Pu touched his stomach and changed the subject with a smile.

"Then let's find a restaurant, Nip. And talk about our next plan."

Katerina looked at the shops on both sides of the street, her eyes showing a bit of anticipation and excitement. It seemed that she had forgotten everything outside the city, and she even felt like she was on a date with Lip.

The restaurants here are very novel. Whether it is the decoration style or the "Today's Special" standing at the door, Katerina is very curious.

But to her disappointment, Lip was not interested in any of these restaurants and repeatedly expressed that he wanted to eat something lighter today.

Several times, Katerina had already walked into the door, but was pulled back by Li Pu.

This guy was clearly complaining about being hungry just now.

"Don't you eat meat for every meal? Why do you want to eat light food today?" Katerina complained in a low voice.

"Well, it's like this, Katerina. The prosperity of Dawn City comes from the primordial soup. Whether it's buildings, clothes, or food, all of them are created by the devils using the primordial soup. These things always remind me of Violet's sacred tree of flesh and blood.

There are no farms near Dawn City. Although the transport team from the Empire occasionally transports some meat, it is very rare. Restaurants often use meat cooked in the original soup to make up for the shortage. Therefore, we can't avoid eating these things when we go to restaurants. Not to mention eating them, I feel sick when I see others eating them or ask about them. So if I have a choice, I want to choose a vegetarian restaurant. "

Lip's explanation was reasonable. After listening to it, Katerina felt sick of the "local specialties" in those restaurants.

"But, Nip, the food in the vegetarian restaurant is also made from the original soup, right?"

"Indeed, but at least it doesn't remind me of those disgusting things."

After they walked for a while, Katerina smelled a sweet scent, and in an instant the wonderful aroma became stronger. She pulled Lip to stop and pouted her lips as she looked at the wonderful restaurant in front of her.

After looking at each other for a while, both of their eyes lit up slightly.

It is called Lilith's Candy House. It is a trembling big house on the corner of the street, with a roof made of opal, soda crackers, glass candy and peanut crisps. The small windows are made of sugar, and the walls, doorways, etc. of the house are made of bread, butter and chocolate.

Cream and syrup flowed down from the eaves, dripping into the small pool at the door, making a pleasant sound.

There are many chairs and parasols made of ginger candy and other desserts placed at the entrance of the big house.

A succubus dressed as a waitress was standing on the street outside the door, handing out flyers diligently, but the children passing by seemed to have little interest in the place.

The locals don't seem to be too fond of this kind of restaurant. When outsiders see that the waiters in the store are all devils, they are very shy. On the contrary, there are some people who are obviously transformed from devils, sitting at the door and eating.

"How can there be such a magical candy house?!" Katerina opened her mouth wide, as excited as a child.

"Catherine, it seems that we are lucky today. Lilith's Candy House is a unique store in the City of Dawn. It will appear randomly in the city, but it will only appear for two or three days each time. So it is very rare to come across it. Let's go, the stores opened by the devils are very clean, and we have a place to have lunch." Li Pu pulled Katerina to choose a seat at the door.

The succubus waitress saw that a customer had arrived and ran over excitedly. She enthusiastically introduced the dishes.

After Katie Lena took a look, she found that there were meat dishes such as steak on the menu, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this fake steak made of sugar?"

Miss Succubus explained: "No, no, no, this is meat, real meat, beef."

Katerina blinked her eyes and said, "Isn't this a candy store? I thought you only sold snacks."

Miss Succubus was a little embarrassed and said, "Originally, our boss insisted on only selling candies. But candies are niche products after all, and as you can see, even children are tired of eating them. Our store is a bit unsustainable, so the boss had no choice but to change the menu, hoping to attract more mass customers."

The fountain of life is the primordial soup.

"Okay." Katerina flipped through the menu and ordered a bunch of vegetarian dishes.

"Order some meat." Lip said, swallowing.

Katerina frowned and looked at her picky boyfriend.

Li Pu coughed and explained, "I wasn't that hungry just now, but now I feel a little overwhelmed by hunger. We may be very busy soon, and I won't have the energy to eat meat. So I changed my mind."

"Okay, whatever you want." Katerina ordered a bunch of food again.

Seeing that the two ordered so much food, Miss Succubus said happily: "Don't worry, our food is guaranteed to be made with the fountain of life. There is no real meat, only fake meat. We will not sell things from the slaughterhouse as beef or mutton."

She pointed to a few demons from other places not far away and said, "Look, they are our repeat customers. They come to our house specially to eat. You know, the citizens of Dawn City like new and interesting things to find pleasure. Those outsiders who come here also come specially to experience these exciting things. But not everyone likes to 'try new things'."

Katerina asked in confusion: "Taste something new? What is tasting something new?"

"Ahem." Lip said to the waiter, "Hurry up and make it. We are hungry."

After the waiter left, Katerina looked at a crowded restaurant on the street and felt something was wrong.

Today is the Sunday of the Dawn Goddess. Many adults are taking their children to these stores to "try new things" and celebrate the festival.

Citizens are more interested in real food than the fake meat that people are fed up with.
