Chapter 7 - Three Beauties In One Table
The Tianyun Academy was spacious enough to accommodate multiple stores to operate.
In fact, Tianyun Academy can't be called an academy anymore when it was as big as a city.
While walking around, Lee Tao had seen many different kinds of business and most of them were operated by students in the academy.
There were restaurants, alchemy, equipment, and even a contest area for betting spirit stones.
"Hmm, those shops seemed profitable… should I open one as well?" Lee Tao mumbled as he witnessed the transaction of each shop secretly.
However, his expression became dumbfounded when someone started paying with some points instead of spirit stones.
Lee Tao decided to grab a fellow student that was walking past him.
"Fellow student, what did that guy pay with?" Lee Tao asked as he pointed at a person.
The student became irritated when Lee Tao suddenly grabbed his sleeve but since he was in a hurry, he decided to take a glance before showing a contemptuous look.
"You must be a new student right? No wonder you are so unruly and rude." The student scoffed as he continued. "He's paying with contribution points and it's the highest form of currency in Tianyun Academy."
Afterward, he flung his sleeve as he started leaving Lee Tao alone.

Unfortunately for him though, Lee Tao decided to harness a lot of profound qi from him since he decided to show a scornful look at him.
'I wasn't going to harness you but you asked for it yourself.' Lee Tao sneered inwardly as the student would now be stuck in his level for a long time.
Sometime later, Lee Tao became hungry as he decided to find a decent restaurant to dine in.
"Fellow students must be new here since you didn't even wear the academy uniform." One of the waiters said as he saw Lee Tao walking.
Lee Tao nodded his head.
"Give me a table for one." Lee Tao then said.
The waiter nodded his head as he guided Lee Tao toward a table of four.
"I understand your confusion but this restaurant only has tables with four seats." The waiter explained.
"I still pay the price for one person only right?" Lee Tao asked.
The waiter twitched his mouth as he smiled awkwardly. "O-Of course, we aren't going to scam you for more since we still need people to dine in our restaurant."
"Anyway, here's the menu and you can call for a person wearing the same outfit as I when you made your decision." The waiter then said as he left Lee Tao alone.
'Hmm, the prices seem logical on the menu but if the food tastes like crap then watch me rain hell on you.' Lee Tao exclaimed inwardly as he decided to go for some spicy seafood dish.
While Lee Tao decided on his dish, the crowd in the restaurant started cheering and whistling loudly.
Lee Tao didn't care about the commotion as he minded his own business until a loud female screech echoed into Lee Tao's ears.
Lee Tao turned around to search for the culprit for shouting unpleasantly in a restaurant.
His expression and mood for appetite dropped instantly when he saw the female's appearance.
"What are you doing here?" Lee Tao snorted as he couldn't believe she still dared to find trouble with him. "Did you not have enough previously, Yao Meixiang?"
Yao Meixiang gnashed her teeth as she pointed at him. "I should be the one asking why you are here. I'm a regular customer here."
"Yao Meixiang, do you know him?"
"I thought Yao Meixiang never interacts with men."
Yao Meixiang's two female companions asked as they held a dumbfounded expression.
Meanwhile, the customers in the restaurant became agitated and excited as they glared fiercely at Lee Tao for chatting so freely with Yao Meixiang and her companion.
Lee Tao could feel their jealousy as he snorted. "Instead of glaring at me with eyes full of jealousy, man up and go talk to them."
"Bunch of cowards, your eyes won't turn into a dagger that could pierce me so mind your own business and stuff the food into your mouth." Lee Tao added when no one dared to step up.
The men could only gnash their teeth in anger as they stopped looking in Lee Tao's direction. None of them dared to approach Yao Meixiang and her companion.
"Who is this man, Yao Meixiang?" One of her companions asked.
Yao Meixiang wanted to reply but stopped herself as she held a complicated expression, almost like she didn't want to introduce him.
"Lee Tao." Lee Tao suddenly said his name.
Yao Meixiang raised her eyebrow as she gave a confused look at Lee Tao when he extended his hand out.
"What are you doing?" Yao Meixiang asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lee Tao raised an eyebrow. "Price for knowing my name, pay up. I didn't just say my name for free."
Yao Meixiang twitched her mouth whereas her two female companions started laughing at this situation.
"What's so funny about this, Jia Qiu, Meng Xue?" Yao Meixiang glared at them as she smacked Lee Tao's hand away.
"I'm not going to pay you for telling your name to me since it's your honor that we wanted to know it in the first place." Yao Meixiang spatted as she took a seat down.
Jia Qiu and Meng Xue followed her action as they sat across Lee Tao.
Lee Tao was flabbergasted as he wondered if all females in this world are shameless like him.
"I didn't invite you to sit next to me so kindly find another table." Lee Tao said as he had no interest in eating with them.
"Don't be such a party pooper, Lee Tao. All three of us are in the ranking of the Top 10 beauties. Three beauties are sitting at your table and many are jealous of your position right now." Jia Qiu suddenly said.
"Un, Sister Jia Qiu is correct. You can see the envious eyes of those men right now.." Meng Xue added as she pointed at the men.
