The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Lingyun slept until noon before getting up.

He quickly washed up, changed into a decent set of casual clothes, drove his S350 out, and headed straight for the Beijing Hotel.

Yanzi borrowed his G-Class, Ferrari 599CTB, and Leilei's newly purchased Porsche 911 Carrera to film Beauty and the Beast.

Leilei, worried about the luxury cars, followed them.

As they were talking, Ling Yun had already driven onto Chang'an Avenue and headed east along it.

As we were walking, my phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID on the car's display screen showed Alyssa Chia, a stunningly beautiful young woman.

Ling Yun glanced at the caller ID, then casually pressed the answer button on the steering wheel to connect the call.

The next moment, Alyssa Chia's sweet, coquettish voice rang out.

"Good afternoon, Yunzi. Are you available to take this call now?"

Hearing this opening line, which was almost identical to that of Da Meiyuan, Ling Yun almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What's the purpose of this stunningly beautiful young woman's visit? Could it be that she, like the previous Da Meiyuan, wants to make a move?

If that's the case, then it would be perfect!

While secretly speculating, Ling Yun couldn't help but recall the night of the pajama party, and the steamy, unspeakable stories that happened when he was alone with this stunningly beautiful young woman in a room.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart and his body became hot.

"Good afternoon, Jingwen. Someone else asked me the same question before, also from a beautiful woman!"

"I'm driving right now, heading to see two old friends. Leilei and Yanzi aren't with me. What's up?"

Upon hearing this, Alyssa Chia's tone immediately became even more coquettish and alluring.

"You're fine on your own. I'm just worried that Leilei might overhear and misunderstand. Do you have time this afternoon or evening? I'd like to invite you to dinner!"

"This past week, you've helped me earn an unimaginable fortune, and I want to thank you properly!"

"I don't know what kind of food you like? If you'd like to try some Taiwanese cuisine, you can come to my house for dinner, and I'll cook for you!"

"Hahaha"

Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

On the other end of the phone, Alyssa Chia was completely confused.

"What are you laughing at? I'm treating you to dinner to express my gratitude, is that so funny?"

"No, Jingwen, I didn't mean to laugh at you. Just call Yuanyuan and you'll know why I laughed."

Ling Yun smiled and explained a couple of things, then changed the subject.

"I'm driving on Chang'an Avenue, so I have to be extra careful. I can't talk to you now."

"Regarding dinner tonight, you can discuss it with Sister Yuanyuan. I'll call you back when I have time."

Alyssa Chia paused noticeably for a moment, then responded in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Okay, I'll call Yuanyuan right away and ask what's going on. Looks like that little slut is moving faster!"

"I guess you're feeling lonely. Your chance has come, so don't miss it! Drive carefully, I'm hanging up!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

A moment later, Ling Yun drove up to the ground floor of the Beijing Hotel.

He parked his S350 in an empty parking space in front of the hotel, got out, and walked into the Beijing Hotel.

He saw it as soon as he entered the lobby.

Li Wen and Xu Jiaying stood in front of the large screen TV in the lobby, watching the ongoing Olympic Games live with other tourists and staff.

The match being broadcast live is the semifinal of the women's singles badminton event at the Olympics, and the battle is in full swing.

Upon seeing Li Wen and the others, Ling Yun immediately walked over.

Upon approaching, he gently patted Li Wen's shoulder and greeted her softly.

"Wenwen, I didn't know you guys liked watching the Olympics so much. If I had known, I should have ordered more tickets."

His words snapped Li Wen and Xu Jiaying out of their intense competition and they both turned to look at him!

Seeing his confident and sunny demeanor, Li Wen felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears on the spot.

Fortunately, she had good self-control. She gritted her teeth, quickly composed herself, and greeted the person in a slightly trembling voice.

"You're here, Lingyun. We've been sitting here with nothing to do, so we thought we'd watch the game for a bit."

Following closely behind, Xu Jiaying nodded in greeting.

"Long time no see, Lingyun. Thank you for the Olympic tickets. You seem to look even more handsome now."

"Haha, is that so? You have a discerning eye!"

Ling Yun responded with a smile, then changed the subject.

"Let's go upstairs. I've booked a private room in the restaurant upstairs. We can talk there!"

"Taking this opportunity, I'd like to treat you to the best official cuisine in the capital, as a way of showing my hospitality."

The two beauties nodded in unison and responded with charming smiles.

"Great! We've heard so much about the famous cuisine of Beijing's imperial court, but we've never had the chance to try it. Today we finally have the opportunity!"

"With your wealth, you wouldn't be treating us to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, would you? If so, that would be perfect! We could brag about that for years!"

While chatting and laughing, the three of them left the lobby and headed towards the elevator lobby not far away.

During the journey, Li Wen wanted to ask Ling Yun about his recent situation several times.

However, given her changed status and the constant flow of people around her, she ultimately remained silent.

Five or six minutes later, led by a hotel waiter, they entered the private room that had been reserved in advance.

As soon as they entered the private room, Ling Yun immediately told the waiter.

Let the chef start cooking; there's no need to wait any longer.

The waiter naturally nodded in agreement and turned to leave the elegant private room.

After the door closed, Ling Yun invited Li Wen and the others to sit down and explained the relevant situation.

To dine at this renowned official cuisine restaurant, you need to book a private room several days in advance, and all dishes must also be ordered in advance. You can't order food after you arrive at the restaurant!

Because many famous dishes in official cuisine are time-consuming and laborious to prepare, sometimes requiring several days of preparation in order to achieve the best results.

The two beauties were speechless with amazement as they listened to his introduction.

While chatting, Li Wen and Xu Jiaying casually picked up the recipes on the table and started looking at them.

As a result, they couldn't help but let out a soft cry after just one glance.

"My goodness, a single bowl of braised shark fin costs 1888 yuan! That's highway robbery! That's outrageous!"

"Look at the clear broth bird's nest soup, the price is just as shocking. This meal of ours will probably cost tens of thousands of yuan!"

Seeing their excited shouting, Ling Yun smiled and nodded.

"That's right, this lunch costs 88,000 yuan, and that's without any drinks. I have a very important meeting at 3 PM, so I can't drink!"

"It must be admitted that the prices at this imperial cuisine restaurant are indeed very high, but the preparation is also truly exquisite."

"For example, this braised shark fin dish requires eight hours of simmering in broth, and you have to order it a week in advance, otherwise you simply can't get it..."

Next, he gave a brief introduction to some of the restaurant's signature dishes.

The two beauties were once again amazed, clicking their tongues in admiration.

After Ling Yun finished his introduction, Xu Jiaying expressed her envy and sighed.

"This is life! So luxurious! Lingyun, you've really gotten ahead of yourself. You're from a completely different world than us!"

"I heard before that you're worth at least a billion dollars now, is that true?"

"When I first heard this news, I couldn't believe it at all, until Wenwen nodded in confirmation. It was like a fairy tale!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Wen, her eyes filled with sympathy and regret.

Ling Yun felt the same way. Looking at Li Wen, whose expression was gloomy, he was filled with sympathy and a little heartache.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly.

"That's right. Taking advantage of a previous golden opportunity, I did make a fortune, and my net worth exceeded one billion!"

"That's how it is in our line of work; sometimes, just one lucky break can make you a star!"
