Chapter 22

With a restless heart, Luo Feng and Jenny got into the vehicle. The space inside the beast carriage was quite spacious and decorated very comfortably, almost like a small house.

Pegasus flapped its wings, and a strong wind lifted the beast carriage into the air.

Although this kind of spirit beast was not very powerful, if classified by the standards of magical creatures, it would be at the C level. However, adult Pegasi had a certain ability to control the wind, and their beautiful appearance made them appear very high-end, making them a popular mode of transportation among the rich.

Thanks to Pegasus' talent for controlling the wind, Victoria City, which was not far away, was reached even faster. Finally, the beast carriage landed in an area of the city with many towers, which seemed to be where the wealthy lived.

"Student Luo Feng, please come in!" Dai Mi led Luo Feng to one of the towers. This tower was much more magnificent than Luo Feng's home in Tianwei City, covering at least ten times the area, and it was much taller. Moreover, it was far from the dilapidated and desolate state of Luo Feng's home. After opening the door, the inside was opulent, with a red carpet on the ground and flowers everywhere, like a palace, which left Luo Feng in awe.

"Student Luo Feng, you've come."

Just as Luo Feng was looking around, a figure appeared in the living room, and it was none other than Lucia. She was still dressed in black, very mysterious, and even the black veil on her face was not removed, which made Luo Feng a bit puzzled. It was rare for someone to wear a black veil at home, let alone when receiving guests. However, Luo Feng knew that there was a huge gap between his status and the president of the guild, so even if there was something inappropriate, he did not dare to comment.

Moreover, Lucia did not mean to belittle her guests. Not only did she send her secretary to pick up and drop off Luo Feng, but he also noticed that she was wearing an apron.

The president of the guild, who was a dignified figure, actually cooked for him personally, which left Luo Feng quite shocked, and he did not know what to say for a moment.

Lucia smiled and said, "Student Luo Feng, if you are interested in this place, you can let Dai Mi show you around. I still have a few dishes to finish, please wait a moment."

Luo Feng came to his senses and said, "Ah, President Lucia, there's no need to trouble yourself. A simple meal will do."

"Ha ha, Student Luo Feng, this is your first visit, so I can't be casual. It won't take long, please wait a moment." Lucia then said to the female secretary, "Dai Mi, please entertain Student Luo Feng for now."

"Sure, President!"

Although this large and luxurious tower was very attractive to a country bumpkin like Luo Feng, he had no heart for sightseeing.

The president's solemn attitude made Luo Feng even more uneasy, and he wanted to find out as soon as possible. So he asked the female secretary beside him, "Miss Dai Mi, President Lucia's invitation this time can't just be for a meal, right? There must be something else, right?"

"Regarding this, I'm not very clear either, but President will tell you shortly." Dai Mi's response was very official, neither confirming nor denying, and Luo Feng could not get any information from her tone, so he gave up.

After waiting in the living room for about ten minutes, a servant came to invite the two to the dining room.

The table was filled with a variety of unique and exquisite dishes. Even without tasting them, the presentation alone showed that Lucia had put a lot of effort into it.

Moreover, the only people enjoying this sumptuous meal were two, as there were only two sets of cutlery on the table, clearly belonging to Lucia and Luo Feng. Dai Mi only came in to serve the two, as she was not only Lucia's secretary but also her maid.

The fact that a maid and secretary was serving the meal, rather than a regular servant, also showed Lucia's attitude towards Luo Feng.

After Dai Mi had set the table and laid the napkins, everything was ready, and Lucia spoke again, "Student Luo Feng, you must be wondering why I am wearing this black veil, which is very impolite, right?"

"No, no, no!" Luo Feng quickly waved his hands, "President Lucia, I already feel greatly honored to be invited here."

Although he said that, he did have some doubts in his heart.

Now it was time to eat, would Lucia continue to wear the black veil while eating?

"Actually, I have my reasons, Student Luo Feng. I hope it won't scare you." Lucia then raised her delicate hand and lifted the black veil.

Seeing the face under the black veil, Luo Feng couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

As he had guessed, Lucia was very young. She had a perfect face and delicate features that matched her beautiful smoky eyes, a high nose, and full lips, all the hallmarks of a beauty. However, her face was covered with a dozen intersecting, spider-web-like black marks, which were very strange. Although she was still beautiful, this kind of beauty was too eerie. If he had seen her without the veil on the training ground that night, Luo Feng might have turned and run.

Lucia sighed, "I'm sorry, it seems I have scared you."

Luo Feng realized his loss of composure and quickly said, "No, President Lucia, I was just a bit surprised. But, your face..."

Lucia explained, "It's due to an accident I had. Since then, I have always worn the black veil, and I only take it off when absolutely necessary."

Luo Feng said regretfully, "That's really unfortunate, President Lucia. I feel sorry for you and apologize for asking such a question."

"It's fine, I've long gotten used to it." Lucia smiled, "Student Luo Feng, has it affected your appetite?"

"Of course not, President Lucia, you are still very beautiful!" Luo Feng was not flattering. Although the black spider-web marks on her face destroyed the normal beauty, they also added a strange beauty, giving her a unique charm. Of course, for most people, this face was still quite shocking, and it was understandable why Lucia wore a veil.

"Thank you, Student Luo Feng, you are a very considerate person." Lucia said generously, "Come, try my cooking and see if it meets your satisfaction."

"Sure!" Luo Feng picked up the fork and cut a piece of meat, finding it very delicious. The dishes Lucia made were not only beautifully presented but also had excellent color, aroma, and taste, making him exclaim, "Mm, very delicious!"

Lucia, acting like a warm hostess, urged, "Then eat more, don't be shy!"

Luo Feng tried all the other dishes, and they were all very good. He never imagined that Lucia, as the president of the guild, had such excellent culinary skills.

The temptation of the delicious food made Luo Feng temporarily forget his unease. After eating until he was full and having some fruit salad, he remembered that he was not just there for a meal. It was time to get to the point, so Luo Feng asked, "President Lucia, thank you for your hospitality, but I am a straightforward person. If you have something to say, please just say it."

Dai Mi was instructed to clear the table, and Lucia put the black veil back on before saying, "Yes, Student Luo Feng, I have a purpose for inviting you. If you can, I would like to ask you to do something for me."

Luo Feng asked, "What is it?"

However, Lucia did not directly tell Luo Feng but said, "Before that, let's talk about the reward. As long as you agree to do the task for me, regardless of whether you succeed or not, the reward will be given to you."

Luo Feng was surprised, thinking that it was a good deal to receive a reward regardless of the outcome.

Lucia continued, "Student Luo Feng, my reward is to spare no expense in cultivating you, including using the Energy Tower, obtaining spiritual medicine to cleanse your bones, private tutoring by a noble during the holidays, professional equipment, and professional sparring partners... In short, any method I can think of to make you stronger, within my capabilities, may be used."

Luo Feng was taken aback because the reward Lucia offered was no small matter.
