Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 78: Chapter 77 No need for money_1

This really is an unexpected situation!

Fu Qian looked at the waitress in front of him.

A standard oval face, pearly teeth and a cute nose, her long hair was pinned up, and a silk scarf was tied around her slender and fair neck.

Even in the uniform red uniform, her curves were difficult to conceal, and her beauty was evident.

But the eyes that were charming and lively just a moment ago were now blurred, as if intoxicated, as if in a daze.

Was it caused by the Decree Residue skill?

He had activated it earlier in the storage room, and because there was no effect, he truly forgot to turn it off manually.

But to this extent, it’s a bit exaggerated, a group stupidity aura?

The waitress’s state was even similar to those people staring directly at that tree.

Feeling the gazes of smiling faces all over the room, it was honestly a bit creepy.

Yet, when he was on the taxi coming here, the driver seemed to have no reaction.

Time!

Fu Qian quickly thought of something, he had only been in the taxi for just over ten minutes in total, and now he had been dining for more than an hour.

It seems this thing needs enough time to be effective, short-term contact won’t have too much impact.

“What is your name?”

Fu Qian stared at the waitress’s face, changing the question.

“Pei Yanqing.”

The waitress responded subconsciously.

“Very good, Pei Yanqing, how much is my meal?”

Fu Qian called her by her name, slowly asking again.

“How much?”

Pei Yanqing repeated monotonously, then mumbled to herself.

“You… don’t need to pay!”

Her consciousness had indeed been influenced.

Not having to pay for the meal? Decree Residue could be renamed to Dine-and-Dash Aura.

The indistinct golden pattern flashed across his body, and Fu Qian decisively turned off the skill.

He looked up again to observe the waitress’s reaction.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yanqing was momentarily stunned, and not only did she not come back to her senses, but her blurred eyes also appeared even more bewildered.

After a few seconds of eye contact with Fu Qian, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

“Hello!”

Pei Yanqing stepped forward, almost pressing up against Fu Qian, her body trembling slightly, bending down as if she wanted to kiss the hand on Fu Qian’s table.

“Wait a minute.”

Fu Qian grabbed Pei Yanqing’s arm, preventing her from getting closer, then looked around the room.

Pei Yanqing’s words and actions didn’t seem to provoke any reaction.

The other people in the restaurant still looked over with smiles on their faces.

Thankfully, no one else came forward, and their expressions became somewhat restrained.

The person furthest away was mechanically stuffing food into their mouth but couldn’t seem to get it in.

It seemed the other people weren’t as heavily influenced, distance indeed made a bigger impact.

Pei Yanqing had been paying more attention to him just now, which could also be one of the reasons.

Anyway, the biggest victim was her!

“Hello…”

Naturally, Pei Yanqing couldn’t resist Fu Qian’s control, she couldn’t move under his hold.

But upon seeing Fu Qian holding her hand, her smile grew even brighter, becoming increasingly radiant, and despite it being in vain, she still struggled to lean forward.

This couldn’t continue!

“Look here!”

Fu Qian patted Pei Yanqing, directing her gaze to his left hand.

At the same time, the Clear Dream Ring on his middle finger was activated.

The galaxy turned, an invisible curtain expanded, enveloping the entire restaurant within it.

Using it for the second time still felt very marvelous.

Catching Pei Yanqing as she slid down, Fu Qian helped her sit down in a seat to the side.

Regardless, let’s calm her down first.

At this moment, everyone in the restaurant, just like her, was instantly drawn into a dream.

As the initiator of the dream, Fu Qian found himself in a rather special state.

His consciousness resided in the real world, but he could join the dream by simply inducing self-hypnosis.

Leaning back in his seat, Fu Qian chose to self-hypnotize.

In an instant, as if passing through a layer of water film, the restaurant bustled with activity once again.

Pei Yanqing still stood by her seat, as if nothing had happened, while the others began to eat with sluggish movements.

If not for the foreknowledge of being in a dream, it would be quite hard to distinguish the reality.

“How much is it?”

Fu Qian asked, looking at Pei Yanqing standing next to him.

“Hello!”

Pei Yanqing’s face was a picture of rapture.

“It’s on the house.”

This isn’t good, she hasn’t snapped out of it yet?

Could it be that her sanity has already crumbled?

Fu Qian strangely recalled the scene of everyone in Xi Yuan City looking up at the sky.

To his surprise, the ordeal was not yet over.

Pei Yanqing, regaining her freedom, stretched out her arms the next moment, as if to embrace the sun, and uttered a heartfelt cry.

“Hello… It’s an honor…”

Her face wore a bewildered expression, and even her features became saintly and translucent.

More astonishingly, her clothes began to gradually turn transparent.

What is this even!

He had not expected that strong emotions in a dream could trigger such a transformation.

Watching her uniform rapidly become more suggestive, Fu Qian decisively struck Pei Yanqing’s neck with a karate chop, causing her to collapse.

This action was a bit dramatic, and once again attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

“She fainted from overwork.”

Fu Qian said nonchalantly.

The crowd, with their vacant gazes, did not question this explanation and resumed their activities.

Phew!

After confirming once more that the influence on the remaining individuals was slowly fading, Fu Qian quickly exited the dream.

Pei Yanqing lay on the table, unconscious, and without a word, Fu Qian picked her up, left the restaurant, and ended the dream the moment before stepping out.

What to do now?

He never expected that having a meal could lead to such an incident, is staying at home the safer option?

Fu Qian frowned as he looked at Pei Yanqing.

Though it was unintended, the trouble had started because of him, and he couldn’t simply abandon an innocent bystander.

He hadn’t anticipated the free meal halo to be so outlandish.

Now it seemed that the description “power so weak it’s almost purely visual” was probably meant for Transcendents.

For the average person, it still came across as a bit overpowering.

Considering the fragile constitution of ordinary people, and with no better solution at hand, the only option was to see if some rest would lead to improvement.

If she was to rest, odds were this girl was still a student; taken to a hotel by a strange man might not reflect well on her.

Fu Qian hailed a taxi and decided to take her home directly.

Luckily, it was midday, when most of the community’s elderly had gone back for lunch, so it didn’t cause a sensation.

Even so, when Fu Qian supported her out of the car, they still attracted quite a few wary glances.

Especially considering Pei Yanqing’s privacy, Fu Qian had taken off his jacket to cover her face.

“Fu Qian!”

Finally, an elderly woman from the crowd of onlookers couldn’t resist interjecting.

“Who is this young lady? Is she not feeling well?”

“She’s my fan.”

Fu Qian blinked.

“She fainted from excitement at seeing me.”
