After a while, Scarlet lifted her head and looked at the two. "I'm hungry; how about the two of you? Should we go eat?"
"Sure. I think I saw a restaurant when we entered here." Asher nodded.
Cecil, who still had her head resting on his chest, looked up with a pout and asked, "Can't we stay a little longer like this? I am feeling comfortable in this position."
"Haha, Cecil, it seems like you've become quite lazy and spoiled by Asher." Scarlet laughed as she got up and stretched her body.
"What are you talking about, Scarlet? Haven't I been working hard as well?" Cecil grumbled, sitting upright and giving her a sulky glare.
The redhead giggled as she poked her forehead. "Hehe, don't be mad. I'm just saying that it's nice to see that you are now more carefree and open than before."
"Sigh, whatever. Fine, I guess I am getting a bit lazy." Cecil relented, standing up alongside Asher, who gave her a pat on the head.
"Don't worry, Cecil; you can be as lazy as you want around me. I like this side of yours." Asher assured her while planting a kiss on her cheek, causing her to blush and turn away from him.
Seeing that, Scarlet rolled her eyes and sighed. "Okay, enough flirting; let's go to the restaurant, or else I won't be able to hold my hunger back anymore!"
Asher laughed as he agreed, "Yes, let's go."
Then the three of them left the park and walked through the streets of Twilight City together, with Asher holding onto both women's waists from each of his sides.

A circular table surrounded by luxurious seats was situated in the center of the chamber. A vase containing a single lotus flower sat in the middle of the table, its delicate petals painted pink, and it emitted a sweet scent that permeated the room.
"This is one of our most exclusive rooms, designed to provide maximum comfort and privacy for our guests. Please make yourselves comfortable. Someone will be with you shortly to take your order." The hostess informed the group before closing the door behind her, leaving them alone inside the chamber.
After glancing around the room for a few moments, Scarlet took a seat at the table, gesturing for Cecil and Asher to sit next to her.
Once seated, the three of them perused the menu, which consisted of a wide variety of dishes made from Star Beasts or Spirit Herbs.
Soon after, a beautiful female attendant came in. She introduced herself as Lilian and greeted the three of them, then asked what they wanted to order.
The three of them placed their orders, and a few minutes later, a number of dishes were served to them.
"Mm, these all look delicious!" Scarlet smiled, her eyes twinkling in excitement as she gazed at the array of food before them.
Lilian gave them a respectful nod as she bid, "Enjoy your meal, honored guests. If there is anything else you need, please don't hesitate to ask for me." Then she walked out of the room.
Itv wasn't long before Asher picked up his chopsticks and started eating the various dishes that were arranged on the table, savoring the flavorful taste of each item.
It seemed that Lotus Pavilion wasn't called the best restaurant for nothing; the taste of their cuisine exceeded even their exquisite appearance.
Although he had eaten plenty of delicious meals before, he couldn't recall tasting anything comparable to this. With every bite, his tongue exploded with exquisite flavors, causing him to revel in delight as he ate.
Scarlet and Cecil shared similar reactions as they devoured the delicacies before them, letting out moans of appreciation as they chewed.
They spent quite some time chatting and enjoying the sumptuous feast before them, drinking tea while conversing about various topics, ranging from cultivation techniques to everyday life.
