Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 190: The Lotus Pavilion

After a while, Scarlet lifted her head and looked at the two. "I'm hungry; how about the two of you? Should we go eat?"

"Sure. I think I saw a restaurant when we entered here." Asher nodded.

Cecil, who still had her head resting on his chest, looked up with a pout and asked, "Can't we stay a little longer like this? I am feeling comfortable in this position."

"Haha, Cecil, it seems like you've become quite lazy and spoiled by Asher." Scarlet laughed as she got up and stretched her body.

"What are you talking about, Scarlet? Haven't I been working hard as well?" Cecil grumbled, sitting upright and giving her a sulky glare.

The redhead giggled as she poked her forehead. "Hehe, don't be mad. I'm just saying that it's nice to see that you are now more carefree and open than before."

"Sigh, whatever. Fine, I guess I am getting a bit lazy." Cecil relented, standing up alongside Asher, who gave her a pat on the head.

"Don't worry, Cecil; you can be as lazy as you want around me. I like this side of yours." Asher assured her while planting a kiss on her cheek, causing her to blush and turn away from him.

Seeing that, Scarlet rolled her eyes and sighed. "Okay, enough flirting; let's go to the restaurant, or else I won't be able to hold my hunger back anymore!"

Asher laughed as he agreed, "Yes, let's go."

Then the three of them left the park and walked through the streets of Twilight City together, with Asher holding onto both women's waists from each of his sides.

----

The restaurant Asher saw earlier was located on a busy street close to the park where they had just been.

When they approached the location, the trio saw a beautiful establishment that resembled a Lotus Flower. It was three stories tall and painted white with purple accents.

A large sign hung above the entrance, which read "Lotus Pavilion." It was written in an elegant script that exuded an aura of elegance and refinement while also appearing somewhat mysterious, making it obvious that this was no ordinary restaurant.

As soon as they entered the place, they were greeted by an attractive young woman wearing a traditional outfit consisting of a red silk dress embroidered with golden lotuses and a long, flowing skirt. Her raven hair was tied into a bun, and she had light makeup applied to her face, accentuating her natural beauty.

"Welcome to the Lotus Pavilion, honored guests. Would you like me to guide you to a table, or perhaps you would like a private room to dine in?" The hostess greeted them with a polite bow.

Before anyone could answer, however, Scarlet exclaimed, "Private room, of course! The one with the best view! I'm starving!"

"Scarlet!" Cecil reprimanded her with an annoyed tone.

Scarlet shrugged and turned her gaze towards the woman, smiling apologetically. "Sorry, I tend to get a bit excited sometimes. Can we have the best private dining room, please?"

Looking at them, Asher shook his head and chuckled, while the woman returned a warm smile as she replied, "Sure, please follow me."

The group followed behind her and climbed the stairs to the top floor, where a few rooms were located. As they passed through the halls, Asher noticed that the place was quite spacious and well-decorated, with numerous paintings adorning the walls and beautiful carpets covering the floors.

Everything seemed to be of excellent quality, indicating that the establishment was indeed one of the finest in town.

When they reached the destination, the woman stopped at an ornate door decorated with golden lotuses and pushed it open to reveal a large room.

Once inside, they found themselves surrounded by lavish decor with intricately carved wooden furniture. There was even a glass window overlooking the beautiful park, which provided a stunning view.

A circular table surrounded by luxurious seats was situated in the center of the chamber. A vase containing a single lotus flower sat in the middle of the table, its delicate petals painted pink, and it emitted a sweet scent that permeated the room.

"This is one of our most exclusive rooms, designed to provide maximum comfort and privacy for our guests. Please make yourselves comfortable. Someone will be with you shortly to take your order." The hostess informed the group before closing the door behind her, leaving them alone inside the chamber.

After glancing around the room for a few moments, Scarlet took a seat at the table, gesturing for Cecil and Asher to sit next to her.

Once seated, the three of them perused the menu, which consisted of a wide variety of dishes made from Star Beasts or Spirit Herbs.

Soon after, a beautiful female attendant came in. She introduced herself as Lilian and greeted the three of them, then asked what they wanted to order.

The three of them placed their orders, and a few minutes later, a number of dishes were served to them.

"Mm, these all look delicious!" Scarlet smiled, her eyes twinkling in excitement as she gazed at the array of food before them.

Lilian gave them a respectful nod as she bid, "Enjoy your meal, honored guests. If there is anything else you need, please don't hesitate to ask for me." Then she walked out of the room.

Itv wasn't long before Asher picked up his chopsticks and started eating the various dishes that were arranged on the table, savoring the flavorful taste of each item.

It seemed that Lotus Pavilion wasn't called the best restaurant for nothing; the taste of their cuisine exceeded even their exquisite appearance.

Although he had eaten plenty of delicious meals before, he couldn't recall tasting anything comparable to this. With every bite, his tongue exploded with exquisite flavors, causing him to revel in delight as he ate.

Scarlet and Cecil shared similar reactions as they devoured the delicacies before them, letting out moans of appreciation as they chewed.

They spent quite some time chatting and enjoying the sumptuous feast before them, drinking tea while conversing about various topics, ranging from cultivation techniques to everyday life.
