HHCPAWMM Chapter 18: The Throbbing Feeling Comes

---

The carriage stopped when it reached the intersection of the commercial street. Carriages and horses weren’t allowed to pass in the commercial street.

The four of them got off the carriage and looked towards the commercial street.

The night was dense like ink, but the commercial street was filled with flowers, bright lights, crowded with people, and very lively.

Yu Qing Qian four all possessed superior looks and different temperaments. They attracted the attention of many students as soon as they stepped into the commercial street.

“I heard ‘Like the Mortal World’ is the best pub in the commercial street, let’s go there.” Ji Ling Shuang spoke first.

“Sure!” The other three weren’t familiar with this and had no objections.

The four of them walked together and looked at the road signs to find ‘Like the Mortal World’ tavern that Ji Ling Shuang spoke of. 

Two orange lamps were hung outside the tavern, and two rows of elegant orchids were placed outside the door, giving people a sense of warmth in the cold night.

The tavern didn’t have a barkeeper outside to greet people like other restaurants.

Walking into the tavern, it was decorated in entirely warm colours, giving Yu Qing Qian the feeling of entering a coffee shop.

The tavern wasn’t too quiet, and the seats below were all filled with students drinking together.

The four people walked into the tavern, and a handsome bartender chuckled and asked: “Are you all here for a drink?”

“Obviously, of course we come to a pub to drink.” Ji Ling Shuang raised an eyebrow.

The bartender didn’t mind her attitude, “The lobby on the first floor is full. There are still vacancies on the second and third floors, but the prices are different.

“Money isn’t an issue, just arrange the best location for us.” Ji Ling Shuang waved her hand nonchalantly.

Looking at Ji Ling Shuang’s wealthy demeanour, Yu Qing Qian’s lips raised into a slight arc. This princess was also an interesting person.

“Sure, then the four of you, please follow me to the third floor.” The bartender smiled and nodded, leading them to the third floor.

The second floor was almost filled with people at this time as well, and the environment was better than the first floor.

Going up to the third floor, Yu Qing Qian found that there was a lot of space, and the environment was elegant and comfortable. There was also a translucent curtain in front, and soft, sweet zither music came from inside.

The four of them found a seat by the window and sat down. The bartender took out a list and handed it to them.

Ji Ling Shuang took the order and handed it directly to the three of them, “Just order whatever you want to drink.”

She knew that the identities of the three roommates weren’t simple, so she just wanted to treat them as much as possible, not to show off.

“You two go first.” Xie Shu smiled faintly. She wasn’t a person who liked to talk very much.

Yu Qing Qian also gave Xia Ying a ‘you first’ look.

Xia Ying took the order and scanned it, with a look of understanding revealed in her big eyes, “Tsk tsk, it turns out that the consumption on the third floor is so expensive, no wonder there are so few people here.”

A cup of fruit wine cost twenty gold coins, which was what an ordinary family spent for two or three years.

“I want this and this.” She was born to a wealthy family to begin with and wasn’t restrained. She said to the bartender with a smile.

The bartender smiled and wrote it down, “Sure!”

Yu Qing Qian scanned the list and found that the items on it were indeed very expensive.

Ordinary nobles really wouldn’t be able to afford to spend money often here. She raised her head and said to the bartender: “Just give me a glass of the strongest wine you have here.”

The bartender and the other three were stunned, obviously not expecting that she would choose the strongest drink.

“Sure!”

Then Xie Shu and Ji Ling Shuang each ordered a glass of wine and some desserts.

Yu Qing Qian leaned lazily on the soft seat, then suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing feeling in her heart. This was the fluctuation of desire from the mental energy variant ability in her.

She turned sharply to the left side.

There were several people sitting there. One of them, a young man in white clothes, lazily held a wine cup and leaned against the back of the chair. Just from the side, one could see the man’s elegant figure with a calm temperament like jade, giving people an inexplicable attraction.
