Chapter 11 - Blocked

Lee Tao stared at Yao Meixiang in disbelief who suddenly proclaimed that she would marry him.

"Well, at least your eyesight ain't bad since I'm truly a hidden gem." Lee Tao then said as he made a series of poses.

"This handsome face is really to die for." He complimented himself as he winked at Yao Meixiang.

"..."

Yao Meixiang glared at Lee Tao who seemingly ignored her words.

"Did you not feel anything after that declaration?" She then asked Lee Tao in a dumbfounded voice.

A beauty like her had just said she would only marry Lee Tao yet Lee Tao was completely nonchalant about it.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

"Many women want my body but that doesn't mean I would want them." Lee Tao said as he wrapped a cloth napkin around his neck.

"What are you doing?" Yao Meixiang raised an eyebrow to see him putting on a napkin.

"My food is arriving so obviously I'll be eating." Lee Tao licked his lips as the waiter brought his seafood dish onto the table.

"Here's your dish, customer." The waiter gave an awkward smile toward Lee Tao and mainly Yao Meixiang.

After all, the restaurant was now empty thanks to the two of them and it was scary for him to be alone.

'I didn't get paid enough for this nonsense.' The waiter cried inwardly.

"Please enjoy the meal. I'll be on standby." The waiter said politely before dashing away from their table.

He wanted to run away from the possible disaster scene as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao sniffed the dish and gave a thumbs up.

"Although the food doesn't contain any profound qi, the smell is passable." He commented.

Afterward, Lee Tao started eating his seafood dish while Yao Meixiang held a dumbfounded expression.

"Unbelievable…" Yao Meixiang muttered in disbelief.

She was outright being ignored by Lee Tao because of a mere dish. A beauty like her was losing to a dish.

Lee Tao proceeded to finish the entire dish within a few minutes, sparing zero leftovers.

Cleaning his mouth with the napkin, Lee Tao had to praise the restaurant quality. "Wooo, that was some spicy and delicious dish."

Suddenly, Lee Tao felt a chill itching his back, and turning around, he saw a gloomy Yao Meiiang, staring daggers at him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee Tao asked.

"I have never seen such an irreconcilable man like you ever in my life." Yao Meixiang said.

She couldn't even shout in anger because of how unruly Lee Tao was acting toward her.

It was like she was talking to a block of wood who had zero sense in understanding basic human language.

"How can you still be in the mood to eat after what I've said." Yao Meixiang added as her eyes became teary.

"Is this about you being mad because I didn't share the dish?" Lee Tao pointed at the empty plate and asked her.

"Forget about it." Yao Meixiang said in disappointment as she got up and left the restaurant.

She didn't have the mood nor energy to stay any longer next to Lee Tao otherwise, she feared that she might really kill him accidentally.

In her eyes, Lee Tao's cultivation base at the Elementary Spiritual Realm was nothing compared to her Profound Spiritual Realm.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao started panicking as he realized something.

"Wait a minute, they haven't paid for the dishes yet right?" Lee Tao was alarmed that he would have to pay for the dishes.

"Waiter, come over here." Lee Tao waved his hand and shouted for the waiter who was standing nearby.

The waiter came over shortly after and asked, "What's the matter, customer?"

"Cancel all the other dishes." Lee Tao ordered as he only got enough money for the seafood dish.

However, the waiter didn't reply to him and merely gave a disgusted look at Lee Tao.

"Hmph, once the order has been placed, they cannot be canceled." The waiter scoffed as he placed a check on the table.

"The dishes that were ordered cost a total of 10 spirit stones or 2 contribution points." He added.

Lee Tao was dumbfounded as he retrieved a bag of spirit stones he had.

'Crap, I only got 3 spirit stones since I left in a hurry.' Lee Tao cursed inwardly as he counted the amount.

"Uhh, the seafood dish I ate only cost 3 spirit stones, and the other dishes weren't ordered by me." Lee Tao tried to reason with the waiter.

However, the waiter gave a cold glare at Lee Tao as he sneered. "Hmph, a poor man like you deserved a beating."

"Hey, I'm the customer here and you're just a waiter." Lee Tao snorted.

The waiter ignored Lee Tao's words as he continued, "For a person like you who made a lady cry deserves zero sympathy. You should get out of our restaurant because we will not serve you anymore."

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

"Whatever then, don't expect any payment from me." Lee Tao grabbed his 3 spirit stones and stored them back into his inventory.

An inventory that was provided by Xiao Chu which was one of the system functions.

"The lady who just left because of you had already paid for the table." The waiter scoffed as he grabbed the empty plate and left Lee Tao alone.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao scratched his head slightly as he left the restaurant.

"It's him, the bastard that made Yao Meixiang cry."

"Hmph, his cultivation base is trash and he has the nerve to play hard to get."

As soon as Lee Tao stepped out of the restaurant, multiple students dressed in the school uniform started cursing and pointing their fingers at him.

'What the hell is going on here?' Lee Tao pondered silently as he tried to leave.

Alas, the students seemed to be ferocious and wanted to beat him up as they blocked his path.

"Do you think you can leave this easily?" One of the students said as he grabbed on Lee Tao's clothes.
