Luck is a Charm

Zen cursed inwardly as he knew he messed up this time for trying to pry into Evie's cultivation.

Evie held a smile as she said, "Did you just try to detect my cultivation?"

Sweats start to trickle down in Zen's forehead as he knew when a woman smiles like that, it means they are furious.

"N-No, w-why would I do something like that?" Zen stuttered as he said those words.

Evie rolled her eyes slightly as she moved her face closer to him.

"Do you really want to know my cultivation?" Evie whispered softly that only Zen could hear it.

Zen was frightened as he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I do not want to know."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely positive!"

"Great because if you really want to know then I might just snip your little brother away," Evie said as she moved backward.

Zen started wiping some of his sweat when she gave him some space as he swore to himself to never mess with Evie.

'Evie was the most fearsome woman I have ever seen that could be equal with Cecilia.' Zen said inwardly as he chugged some tea down his throat.

The other three women were confused about what just happened because Evie had concealed their conversation and spoke in a low tone.

However, they didn't dare to pry into what happened when they saw Zen who always acted fearless became afraid of Evie.

It was unlike his acting in the auction where he dared to provoke every person.

"Hahaha"

The atmosphere was silent but someone couldn't help themselves any longer as she burst out laughing when she saw Zen being pale.

"Leila," Krista Dragoon glared at her little sister as she said grimly. 

Leila Dragoon shrugged her shoulder and took her cup to sip some tea as well.

"I apologize for my little sister's display. I hope you can forgive her insolence, Madam Evie." Krista Dragoon apologized to Evie, ignoring Zen completely.

"It's fine, she's just a little girl who is acting at her age." Evie waved her hand as she didn't mind her laughter.

After all, she finally managed to show some of her fearsome sides to Zen who thought he could always take advantage of her.

'Let's see if you still dare to act cheeky around me all the time.' Evie said inwardly as she looked at Zen with a gentle expression.

Zen was ashen when he saw the gentle expression. 'Damn it, women are truly fearsome and one that you can never mess with.'

Zen was dumbstruck by the change of personality in a woman that could alter in an instant while acting completely normal.

Angela was confused by Zen's abnormal behavior so she asked, "Are you feeling unwell Zen?"

"Hehe, I'm fine. I was just feeling a little bit hot only." Zen said as he grabbed a cloth to wipe off the remaining sweat.

Angela was suspicious but she couldn't get a chance to talk as the food finally arrived.

The waiter placed 4 dishes on the table and said with a polite tone, "Here's the first 4 dishes and the remaining 4 dishes are on their way currently."

"Mhmm, it's fine to be a bit slower since the table couldn't fit that many dishes all at once," Zen replied and the waiter nodded his head.

Afterward, Zen starts to smell the aroma emitting from the 4 dishes.  There were three seafood dishes and one meat dish.

The first seafood dish is a scallop with some cauliflower puree and it may seem simple but Zen can feel pure mana concentrated in the scallop.

The waiter smiled lightly as he explained the dish that Zen was focusing on.

"This dish is called Pearl Scallops as each scallop is full of mana concentrated in their tiny appearance. Also, because of our spiritual chef, the mana is enhanced by at least 70%  and helps increase a person's cultivation."

Zen was amazed by the finesse of this one-dish as he looked at the second seafood dish. 

"Oh, is that prawns?" Zen asked as they were similar to shrimps but not really sure.

"Honorable guest is correct. They are prawns and it's freshly captured daily to guarantee the quality of the dish. The last seafood dish is a rainbow trout that is pan-seared and added with some lemon juice. We charged customers a high price because these spiritual foods are extremely difficult to cook." The waiter explained the dishes and the reason for the high price of the dish.

He wanted to continue explaining the meat dish but Zen dismissed him since he couldn't wait any longer to eat the food.

Like a starving predator, Zen started using his fork to grab some of the scallops before gobbling down in one go.

Afterward, he used his hand to take a prawn and start unshelling it to enjoy the juicy and tender meat inside.

His table-manner was completely like a barbarian without any etiquette, shocking the women at the table.

Even the other customers had their jaws dropped as such a display they see in a fine-dining room.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"What the fuck is his tabler manner and why is he eating like he's never eaten for days?"

"Fucking hell, he eats so disgustingly yet is accompanied by four peerless women. What the hell is wrong with this world?"

The other customers lost their appetite completely when they saw the way Zen kept eating his food in a fast manner.

Evie, Angela, Leila, and Krista Dragoon all twitched their mouth as they were embarrassed to even sit at the same table as Zen.

Evie couldn't stand such disgrace eating anymore as she used her hand and karate chop at Zen.

*Boink*

"Ouch," Zen screamed in pain as he wasn't expecting anyone to suddenly hit his head. When he wanted to curse the bastard who interrupted his rhythm, he stopped as he realized it was Evie.

"Why did you hit me?" Zen asked with teary eyes since he didn't do anything wrong except enjoying his food.

"Look at your shameless eating style. If you don't clean yourself up and learn to eat neatly then you can forget about trying to kiss my lips again." Evie shouted in annoyance. 

'H-He was able to kiss Madam Evie and she even said again?' Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon was shocked inwardly by the sudden outburst of Evie.
