Chapter 6: Grotto's Inn

When they arrive at Grotto's Inn, Zhen can hear a bunch of people chattering and clinking their cups.

This is a lively environment which is only possible in popular inns and the Grotto's Inn is definitely the most popular in this town.

Sara guided Zhen and Kuro inside and everyone was shocked at how Zhen was holding Sara's hand.

Many people have multiple expressions, some of them show shock, some show envy, others show jealousy, but most are angry glares at Zhen.

Can't blame them as Zhen is about to get this beautiful Sara as his wife, and they can only blame their incapability to win Sara's heart.

Meanwhile, Sara glared at Zhen angrily because of him refusing to let go of her hand but this is exactly what Zhen wanted.

The fact that Sara belongs to him now and is off-limit so whoever dares to harm her will have to go through him first.

At this time Sara's parents came greeting her back and there is a worried expression on their faces.

Zhen's heart started thumping and he had tears leaving his eyes.

Sara was shocked when she saw his face but Zhen said he's alright and let go of Sara's hand to tell her to greet her parents.

Zhen couldn't tell her that his parents are the polar opposite of her and how he wished her parent's expression of worries was directed at him.

Kuro who is connected with Zhen through the contract noticed the feeling Zhen is going through, pats his back lightly with his wing.

Zhen tapped on his wing to express his thanks to him for trying to console his feelings.

Although they always tease each other, when the time is needed, they are each other's support and this is not something anyone can achieve.

While Sara finishes greeting her parents, they look at Zhen with a thankful expression.

Since Sara has explained what happened to her in the forest and how without Zhen, they might have lost their daughter.

Zhen smiled brightly as he greeted them back with the utmost respect he had ever given in this new life.

Sara's father is called John Ruiz and her mother is called Sandy Ruiz.

John Ruiz used to be an adventurer who is ranked Gold back in the days but retired after meeting Sandy.

They married and decided to use the money John earned to open the Grotto's Inn and gave birth to Sara Ruiz.

The adventure rank is determined by their color and goes from Bronze, Iron, Silver, Gold, Ruby, Emerald, Platinum, Diamond, and Obsidian.

In this town, the highest rank adventurer ever showed up was a Ruby rank.

This goes to show how high the reputation John has and explained why no one dared to show troubles in his inn.

Not to mention, Sara is a Silver rank and beauty that is unparalleled. No one in their right mind will show trouble to them except for some low intelligence being.

Zhen is truly a troubled magnetic and a bad omen as his thinking will soon come true as some low intelligence person will make trouble soon.

But that for a later time and now it's time for the main reason Zhen is here.

Zhen finished the greeting with Sara's parents and hurriedly told Sara to cook for him as he had been starving for a very long time.

Besides, he didn't stop flirting with her by saying how he can't wait for his wife's cooking skills.

Sara pinched Zhen's waist before running off to the kitchen with a blushing face.

The Grotto's Inn is extremely huge where even Kuro, despite his huge body can enter smoothly and took a spot next to Zhen as he was starving as well but never expressed it.

Zhen who is a trouble magnet plus Kuro's trouble maker has already started to attract the customer's attention with many chattering about Kuro being a high rank 5.

While others are gossiping about who Zhen is and how he manages to gain Sara's attraction.

Both of them are truly a family since none other than them could create this much of a commotion.

While Zhen and Kuro are waiting for their food from lovely Sara, in another place, there is a person who ran from the dark alley.

Reporting the events happening to a person sitting in a chair while 2 other women feed him fruits.

After finishing hearing the person's report, he angrily slammed onto a table, shocking the 2 women and the person reporting.

He shouted loudly, "How dare he touch my woman when I don't even get to touch her, much less be able to talk with her before being ignored."

It was at this moment that Zhen, who was sitting patiently, felt his Sense tingling in his brain, the first time it ever tingled like this since being transported here.

Zhen muttered slowly, "Who has so much animosity towards me? I don't recall offending anyone. Whatever, if he dares trouble me, I either kill or torture him."

Zhen is the type of person who gets his revenge on those who dare harm him.

Of course, Sara pinching him is an exception as she will be his wife soon and if he even dares to retaliate then he can say goodbye to the sexy scene.

After waiting for God knows how long, Sara finally comes out with three dishes and you'll know it's good stuff when everyone else is staring at it while drooling.

Too bad for them, this food is exclusively Zhen. Kuro stood up at this moment and stared at the plate that Sara was holding.

Zhen stared at Kuro who was also drooling and couldn't help but twitch his face.

'I can't believe I have forgotten about Kuro who will also be hungry but didn't he mention before that most of them don't need to eat food as mana can be used to fulfill that hunger.'

Zhen wanted to eat everything since he thought Kuro would simply use mana to fill up his hunger.

Mana can be used to fill a person's hunger but most still decide to eat food as it not only tastes good but an enjoyment one should have otherwise, why cultivate so hard and not enjoy life.

'This Kuro, I will only let you eat a bit as you're my family so don't take a yard when I give you an inch.'

Zhen said in his mind while using his glare to warn Kuro to not go overboard.

Sara placed down the plate on the table and sat down opposite of Zhen.

Zhen took this opportunity and raised his leg at the bottom of the table and moved toward Sara's leg.

Sara meanwhile blushed and glared angrily at him but before she could kick his leg, Zhen retracted back and in an exaggerated manner exclaimed.

"Wow, my lovely Sara sure knows how to cook. It smells so delicious and I'm already conquered by you when I get to taste this food all the time."

Hearing Zhen's comment and remark on her food, Sara went from angry to giggling and said, "Stop with your nonsense and eat the food before it gets cold. I worked hard on it as thanks for saving my life from the Likra."

Before Sara finishes that sentence, Zhen and Kuro have already started fighting each other for the food.

Zhen couldn't help but curse at Kuro and say, "How dare you! You are my beast and these foods are prepared for me."

Kuro replied fiercely, "Sara prepares food for the both of us and not just yours alone."

After saying that, Kuro manages to steal another piece of food from the plate but the crowd and chattering stopped.

Even Sara was dumbstruck and shocked.

Once again, these two are really family and didn't know what trouble they just created when fighting for the food.
