Sea Turtle Clan

After considering for a while, I decided to take them to Emperor Seafood City. Seafood is not something to be taken lightly. Apart from the hygiene concerns in street stalls, using ingredients that are slightly less fresh could lead to upset stomachs, diarrhea, or even food poisoning. The reason Emperor Seafood City is expensive is not only due to its level of sophistication but mainly because all their seafood is flown in that morning, guaranteeing freshness. If there are any leftovers at night, they are usually given to small merchants or vendors.

"No way, are we really going to Emperor Seafood City? You seem pretty rich!" Little Light Bulb exclaimed excitedly as she looked at the enormous sign of "Emperor Seafood City."

"Do you want to eat or not? Stop with the chitchat!" I glared at Little Light Bulb and said.

"Are you even a man? You don't know the meaning of being courteous!" Little Light Bulb said unhappily.

"You can ask your Julie sister if I'm a man or not." I smirked.

"What nonsense are you spouting? You have no decency," Julie could certainly understand the hidden meaning of my words. Her face blushed instantly, and she pinched my waist hard with her crab claw-like little hand.

"Ouch!" I cried out in pain.

"What were you two talking about?" Little Light Bulb asked, puzzled. Surprisingly, this girl was quite innocent and didn't react to the hidden meaning behind my words.

"It's nothing. Don't listen to her nonsense. Let's go in quickly," Julie said.

"How many people, sir?" As soon as we entered, a hostess approached us.

"Just one, sir..." I started to say.

"Ah...?" The hostess looked puzzled.

"But we have two young ladies with us," I continued.

"Hahaha..." Several waitstaff burst into laughter. However, a supervisor-like person coughed, and they immediately suppressed their amusement.

"Three people, right? Would you like to be seated in the main dining area?" The hostess smiled and asked.

"Do you have private rooms?" I glanced at the dining area. Although the ambiance was decent, it was a bit noisy.

"Sorry, all the private rooms are full," the hostess apologized.

"Then the main dining area it is." I thought to myself, if there are no private rooms available, what's the point of asking us if the main dining area is acceptable? Do we have any other choices?

"Alright, please follow me, sir." The hostess led the way and took us to a table near the window. The environment was pleasant, and the view was good.

"Shall I take your order now?" After the hostess left, a server immediately handed us the menu.

I nodded and pointed to Little Light Bulb, saying, "Give her the menu."

Little Light Bulb didn't hesitate and took the menu, flipping through it. However, the prices at Emperor Seafood City were already frighteningly high, and Little Light Bulb frowned as she scanned the menu. In the end, she only ordered a few relatively inexpensive seafood dishes.

"Boiled crab in seawater, baked sea snail with salt, spicy stir-fried clams. Anything else?" The server repeated the order.

"What are your specialties here?" I looked at Little Light Bulb's relatively cheap choices and wanted to order something better.

"Our restaurant specializes in Emperor Lobster, deep-sea shark fin, braised..." the server started to explain.

"Just give us an Emperor Lobster." I interrupted her. I had treated Xu Zhongbang to this dish when he visited my home in the past. It was incredibly delicious, and

each lobster weighed at least two or three kilograms. However, the price was quite steep, and that time, it cost me nearly 100,000 yuan.

"Very well, sir." After the server finished taking notes, she left.

"Kris, you missed out on asking for a private room. Do you know the minimum spending requirement for a private room? It's 10,000 yuan!" Little Light Bulb stuck out her tongue and said, "Aren't you going to thank me?"

"Hehe, take a look at the price of that Emperor Lobster!" I pointed to the nearby menu.

"How much is it? You're so stingy that you couldn't even order something expensive!" Little Light Bulb picked up the menu, furrowed her brows, and her eyes nearly popped out. She exclaimed, "What! Nine... Nine thousand eight hundred? One zero, two zeros... Is this menu printed wrong?"

"No mistakes! The Emperor Lobster is about half a meter long, and they say it can sell for several thousand just after being caught at the seaside!" I enlightened Little Light Bulb.

"Ah! Kris, how much money do you actually have?" Little Light Bulb said in astonishment.

Julie smiled slightly and said, "Why, Little Light Bulb, are you regretting not extorting him earlier?" Julie knew that even before she met me, I was already one of the richest people in New Jiang City. She was no stranger to this kind of situation, and moreover, she knew that I was wealthy now.

"Yeah, I've decided. I'll join you for lunch tomorrow. Julie, you won't find me annoying, right?" Little Light Bulb made an extremely obedient expression.

But in my eyes, that expression was simply devilish. Don't agree, Julie! Please don't! I silently prayed in my heart.

"Sure! We'd be happy to have you join us," Julie patted Little Light Bulb's head and said.

My heart skipped a beat, and I almost fell under the table. She's coming again tomorrow? Did she really think of herself as a light bulb to be used?

The stir-fried clams and boiled crab in seawater were quickly served, followed by the baked sea snail with salt. However, the preparation for the Emperor Lobster was more complicated, as it required cutting the shell open while keeping it intact and removing the meat inside.

Both girls wiped their hands with wet wipes and started eating. It was unexpected to see the refined Julie eat crab in such an uncouth manner, rolling up her sleeves and enjoying it wholeheartedly.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen this before?" Julie noticed that I wasn't eating and just stared at her. She said with a hint of embarrassment.

"I never expected you to eat so savagely..." I laughed.

"I'm not like this. It's just because I'm with you! If we were eating at home, there would be a lot more rules! I never feel satisfied when I eat these kinds of things." Julie complained.

"Hehe, actually, you look quite cute like this." I also grabbed a crab and started gnawing at it, just like them.

As we were eating, two men approached us, walking towards our table.

"Xu Ruoyun, you're here too?" one of the men said.

I raised my head and took a look. This person had a decent appearance and looked like a university student, but he exuded a certain unexplainable arrogance. The person next to him, however, had a somewhat comical appearance with a pointed head and a ridge on top, resembling a giant genital organ. The most ridiculous thing was that

he even had a hunchback. If you added his ** head to the mix, he looked like a sea turtle.

"Li Bolong? What are you doing here?" Xu Ruoyun raised her head and spoke to the more handsome man.

"Hehe, this is my friend. I'm accompanying him for a meal," Li Bolong pointed at the sea turtle and said, "Ruoyun, he's a genius in computer science! He just returned from studying in Japan and is now a naturalized Japanese citizen!"

Damn it, my heart sank as soon as I heard the words "naturalized Japanese citizen." Instead of being a proud descendant of the Yan and Huang Emperors, he chose to join a foreign country!

"Japanese citizen?" Xu Ruoyun repeated with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, it's what we commonly refer to as a returned overseas Chinese!" Li Bolong didn't notice Xu Ruoyun's displeasure and continued.

"Pfft..." I had just taken a sip of tea and nearly spat it out, drenching the floor. Sea Turtle Clan? This guy really does resemble a sea turtle!
