Because of the influence of Chinese culture, the food is quite similar to that of China, but with very significant differences. Ling Zhenfei had only heard of it before, but had never seen it.

After walking in, Ling Zhenfei sat down at a table. There weren't many people here, and it was very quiet. Even if someone was eating and talking, their voices were very low.

A cute waitress, who was smiling, came over and said something to Ling Zhenfei, but Ling Zhenfei didn't understand what she meant.

Ling Zhenfei was a bit frustrated, wondering if this girl could understand Chinese, but then the girl handed the menu to Ling Zhenfei. Although much of the Japanese script is similar to Chinese characters, Ling Zhenfei wanted to try some local specialties.

So he said, "May I ask what's special here? What's good to eat?"

The waitress was also a bit confused, obviously not understanding. Ling Zhenfei had to gesture and mimic, saying several times: "Please introduce some of your restaurant's specialties to me."

But even after saying this, the waitress was still a bit confused. Frustrated, Ling Zhenfei was about to order something randomly when suddenly a girl nearby came over.

She spoke a few words of Japanese to the waitress, and the waitress happily told Ling Zhenfei the names of two dishes.

The girl translated to Ling Zhenfei, "The waitress says their most special dishes are salmon and wagyu beef."

This girl wasn't very old, about seventeen or eighteen, wearing something resembling a martial arts uniform, and looked very cute.

Ling Zhenfei expressed his gratitude to the girl, saying, "Please translate for me, I will have these two, plus a bowl of rice."

After the girl translated to the waitress, the waitress left very happily.

Ling Zhenfei said to the girl, "Thank you very much for your help."

The girl said "You're welcome", and then walked back to her seat, sitting at a small table in the corner.

There was another girl sitting at the table in front of her, and when he saw this girl, Ling Zhenfei was taken aback because he realized she was the Celestial Maiden he saw on the street yesterday.

Originally, Ling Zhenfei thought Celestial Maidens were lofty and unapproachable, but who would have thought the Celestial Maiden would be eating in a small restaurant.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei looking at her, the Celestial Maiden also looked back at Ling Zhenfei. Their eyes met, and Ling Zhenfei immediately felt a current run through his body.

It was a special feeling, very different, really different from Chinese girls.

Ling Zhenfei had never seen such a girl before; it was an indescribable feeling.

Ling Zhenfei had seen all sorts of girls, pure, cute, aloof, mature, all kinds, but when he saw this Celestial Maiden, she was completely different from those women.

After glancing at Ling Zhenfei, the Celestial Maiden immediately turned her head, no longer looking at Ling Zhenfei. She probably thought someone like Ling Zhenfei was not unusual at all, so she wouldn't spare him a glance.

Yesterday, Ling Zhenfei had helped Watanabe No with the Silver Needle. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Maiden didn't hold a grudge; instead, she helped Ling Zhenfei, which was quite surprising.

At this time, Ling Zhenfei opened his ears and could clearly hear the Celestial Maiden and the girl from earlier talking.

"Sis, it's true, I'm glad I learned Chinese from you; I finally got to use it today."

"I've told you, learning more is useful," the Celestial Maiden said softly, her voice very gentle and pleasant.

"Sis, that guy is really handsome."

The young girl praised Ling Zhenfei for being handsome, but the Celestial Maiden quickly made a shushing gesture, obviously aware Ling Zhenfei was eavesdropping.

The girl realized and turned to look at Ling Zhenfei, who was indeed looking at her. She quickly turned her head, no longer looking at him.

The two continued eating without speaking further, and at this time, the dishes Ling Zhenfei ordered were served. There's no denying the dishes made in the Japanese restaurant were quite exquisite.

A plate of salmon and a piece of steak, just by looking at the steak you could tell it was different; although it was already cooked, you could still clearly see the patterns on top.

Ling Zhenfei used a knife to gently cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, instantly surprised; he had never eaten beef this delicious.

The beef seemed to require no chewing; after gently touching it a few times with his tongue, the beef broke apart, turning into granules, so tender.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but marvel; he had long heard that Japanese wagyu was quite famous, and today, after tasting it, it was indeed different. Although expensive, it was worth the money.

Now Xishan Manor is also vigorously developing animal husbandry. If they raise cattle in the future, could they possibly produce beef with this flavor? That's truly hard to say.

But Ling Zhenfei felt that it wasn't impossible. At least he had the Xuantian Spirit Spring Water as such a good resource, and he didn't believe that cattle raised drinking Xuantian Spirit Spring Water would have bad-tasting meat.

As Ling Zhenfei was eating, suddenly the door of the tavern was pushed open, and someone hurriedly ran in, seeming very anxious. They glanced around inside, then walked over to the Celestial Maiden.

"Celestial Maiden, is something wrong?" This person might have been worried that someone around would hear them, so they didn't use Japanese, instead, they used Chinese.

"What's the matter?" the Celestial Maiden asked.

The person said, "We just received news, Watanabe Kazushi's poison has been cured."

The Celestial Maiden was slightly taken aback: "What did you say, Watanabe Kazushi's poison has been cured? How is that possible? After all these years, if it could be cured, it would have been done long ago, why wait until now?"

The young man said, "My information says Watanabe Nagayumi invited a Divine Doctor from Huaxia, and within just one morning, the old man's poison was cured."

"A Divine Doctor from Huaxia? When did they arrive? Why didn't I know?" the Celestial Maiden asked hesitantly.

The young man said, "The information says so, but I don't know when they exactly arrived."

Listening from the side, Ling Zhenfei was slightly surprised. It seemed the grievances between Ittō-ryū and the Watanabe Family were quite complex, each having planted spies with the other.

It was barely over an hour from when Ling Zhenfei finished treating Watanabe Kazushi to when Ling Zhenfei was having this meal, and yet the Ittō-ryū people had already received the information.

The Celestial Maiden said to the girl beside her, "Xiao Xia, go online and check, are there any famous Divine Doctors in Huaxia?"

Xiao Xia nodded, then took a notebook from her bag and began searching online.

Ling Zhenfei was truly helpless, standing so close to them, and yet they still needed to check online. He wondered if the internet in Japan could find out about him in China.

At this moment, the young boy said, "If Watanabe Kazushi's poison is cleared, could he regain his strength? If he regains his strength, wouldn't we be in trouble?"

A worried expression formed on the Celestial Maiden's face as she said, "Indeed, it seems we need to work hard too. This time, unexpectedly, Watanabe Nagayumi has taken the lead."
