My Hotel Is Famous All Over the World

Chapter 75

Three Thousand Food House—

“What’s happening? What’s happening? Why is there so much noise outside?”

Everyone in the Three Thousand Food House slouched in their chairs in the main hall. After the frenzied rush to prepare dishes not long ago, everyone was utterly exhausted. They were all eating snacks and sipping juice to rest. In just another hour, they would have to prepare another wave of food. At this moment, the noise outside suddenly became overwhelmingly loud. Everyone’s hearts tightened, and they quickly turned their gaze toward the door.

Zhuo Long was the first to rush to the doorway. The moment he saw the scene outside, his Adam’s apple bobbed. In his pupils, the reflection of blazing flames outside the door reached skyward. As if captivated by the scene beyond the door, he remained stunned for more than ten seconds before turning around and saying, “The stone beings… have come.”

“Haha, Zhuo Long, don’t joke around. With so many high-ranking races on the battlefield, how could a bunch of dull-witted stone beings possibly come over to our side? Hahaha—”

As this person laughed, his laughter abruptly ceased. He realized that apart from him, everyone else had a serious expression. Zhuo Long’s words might have been seen as a prank, but the increasingly close sounds of battle and clamor couldn’t be faked.

At that moment, the people in the hall moved. Everyone rushed toward the entrance. When they saw the scene outside, they exchanged terrified glances with each other. It was indeed the stone beings! And they were colossal stone beings!

The person who had initially laughed off Zhuo Long’s words was now quite shaken. His face turned pale, and he murmured, “Impossible, impossible, impossible!”

“What’s impossible?” Bai Xianzhi came out of the kitchen holding a fruit platter and asked casually upon hearing these words.

Someone stammered in response, “B-boss, the st-stone beings… have come!”

Clatter.

The fruit platter was set on the table, and Bai Xianzhi took several large strides to reach the doorway. The stone beings had come, how was that possible? They had plenty of food, and there were five thousand Dragon clan, Soul clan, and even five hundred divine clan present. How could they not fend off the stone beings’ attack? Moreover, how did the stone beings manage to come over here? No, perhaps a few of the stone beings had strayed from the main force and arrived here on their own.

In just a few steps, various speculations raced through Bai Xianzhi’s mind. However, when he stood at the doorway and truly saw what were supposed to be the stone beings, all he wanted to do was curse.

Good heavens, were these really stone beings?! The monstrous creatures were as huge as Godzilla! Online, it hadn’t been mentioned that the stone beings were this massive. The stone beings in the videos were of normal size!

Without Ultraman, how were they supposed to fight creatures this big?

From a distance, Bai Xianzhi saw countless tiny figures swarming around the stone beings like ants, darting in the Space Rift with various gleaming moves and hurling fire at the stone beings. Yet, it was all futile. These attacks couldn’t even slow down the stone beings’ advance.

He turned around and addressed all the staff in the hall, “Everyone, go inside and stay in the kitchen!”

In an instant, the staff members rushed into the kitchen. Two little ones, who-knows-where they had come from, anxiously clung to Bai Xianzhi’s legs. They looked at him with affection and called out, “Daddy, Daddy.”

Bai Xianzhi patted the heads of the two little ones and softly said, “You two go upstairs. Daddy will come up to find you once he closes the door.”

“Okay!”

Seeing the two little ones enter the kitchen, Bai Xianzhi turned back to look outside. Just a few minutes had passed from when he had told the staff to enter the kitchen to when he had instructed the two little ones to go upstairs. The distance between the colossal stone beings and the Three Thousand Food House had shortened significantly. At this rate, the huge stone beings would reach the Three Thousand Food House in less than half an hour. Bai Xianzhi’s heart raced as he secretly hoped that these stone beings were just passing through.

At this moment, the hundreds of Divine Clan attacking around dozens of stone beings were getting increasingly disheartened. This was the first time they had fought with all their might, but they hadn’t inflicted any fatal wounds on the stone beings.

“Damn it, the colossal stone beings are just too tough. My blade only manages to give them surface wounds. I can’t even chop off a finger.”

“What the hell is this? We can’t even land a blow. How can we win?”

Ignoring the comments from those around her, Ji lan fought on, her massive silver spear leaving afterimages as it moved. She thrust the spear forward fiercely, creating a crater tens of meters wide in the stone being’s waist.

“Nice shot!”

Meng Yan flew over to her side and fiercely added a few more strikes around the crater. Other Divine clan who had joined the assault against this stone being quickly directed their weapons toward the same spot. They had found a weakness, and they were determined to break this stone being’s waist.

Perhaps they had genuinely hurt the stone being. It roared in anger and lifted its hand to cover its waist. The divine clans attacking it immediately scattered in all directions.

“Pah,” Meng Yan spat, his saliva mixing with sand. “These colossal stone beings are ridiculously tough. Their hide is thick, and their strength is probably many times greater than ours. Winning against them is almost impossible.”

Ji lan’s eyes were filled with unwavering determination. She said, “The Three Thousand Food House are just ahead. We must lure them away, or innocent lives might be in danger.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced around and used her divine power to project her voice, “Everyone, please lead the stone beings southwest!”

Ji lan’s voice reached the ears of every divine clan present. These divine clans were no fools. Amidst the battle, they quickly swept their gazes toward the distant structures and understood the reason. Therefore, the five hundred divine clans, surrounding dozens of colossal stone beings, began launching a frenzied assault, trying to guide the stone beings toward the southwest.

However—

“No good! They’re completely unresponsive. No matter how we attack them, it’s as if they’re just itching themselves. They won’t pay us any attention even if we attack their eyes together. Once they miss a strike, they completely ignore us and continue walking in the same direction.”

….

Despite the intense attacks, the stone beings showed no change in their direction, and the five hundred divine clans present began to realize that there might be something significant ahead of them on this path as far as these stone beings were concerned.

But what could be on this path? As the divine clans looked around, aside from the small Three Thousand Food House, they couldn’t find anything else. Could it be that the Three Thousand Food House were the stone beings’ objective?

“Ji lan, this isn’t good! I don’t think these stone beings are heading for the Three Thousand Food House. You know, could they be intelligent enough to understand that they need to cut off our supply?”

Ji lan kept her eyes fixed on the stone beings and said firmly, “Regardless of their intent, I won’t allow them to come a single step closer to the Three Thousand Food House!”

As soon as she spoke, Meng Yan hadn’t had a chance to say anything more when he saw Ji lan shoot forward like an arrow released from a bow. He tightly gripped his sword and hurriedly followed.

In the face of a massive disparity in strength, even if one side held the utmost determination, it would still be overwhelmed by sheer force. The five hundred divine clans had already exerted their full effort, yet the distance between the dozens of stone beings and the Three Thousand Food House continued to shrink. These prodigies of the heavens among the divine clans were experiencing powerlessness for the first time. They had exerted themselves to the fullest but were unable to hinder the stone beings in the slightest. They could only watch as the stone beings approached the Three Thousand Food House step by step.

Since the stone beings nearing the Three Thousand Food House was inevitable, Ji lan immediately changed her strategy. She turned to Meng Yan and said, “I’ll hold them off here. You go to the Three Thousand Food House and evacuate everyone, then bring them to the giant ship.”

“Got it!” Meng Yan responded with a firm nod and headed straight for the Three Thousand Food House.

….

“Boss, come inside quickly! It’s too dangerous out here!”

Tu linlin clung to the kitchen door frame, calling for Bai Xianzhi. Bai Xianzhi frowned as he looked at the massive stone beings drawing closer. Those figures flying around the giant stone beings were undoubtedly divine clan! So many divine clans couldn’t even pose a threat to a single stone being?

Bai Xianzhi felt his understanding of the situation being profoundly challenged. Since learning about the Three Thousand Worlds, the information he received indicated that the divine clans were the strongest in this realm. They represented the pinnacle of martial power in the Three Thousand Worlds. Yet now, dozens of divine clans were besieging a single stone being, and they were unable to break through. This was chilling—how powerful were these stone beings? Strong enough to overpower even the divine beings?

Moreover, the distance between these stone beings and the Three Thousand Food House was shrinking. Was the Three Thousand Food House really safe?

Could the Three Thousand Food House remain untouched under those colossal bodies?

Amid his concerns, a swiftly moving figure landed in front of Bai Xianzhi. He recognized this person as the captain of the reinforcement team, Meng Yan. “Lord Meng, you—”

“No time for words. Where are the employees of your establishment? Get them all out here. The Three Thousand Food House isn’t safe. I’ll lead you all to a secure location.”

Hesitating for a moment, Bai Xianzhi immediately called out all the employees from the shop. He also brought down the two little ones from upstairs. Instead of placing his hopes in something still unknown, it would be better to find an alternative solution. Besides, he wasn’t alone in the shop. Having so many people accompany him to test his speculation just wasn’t appropriate.

“Zhuo Long, Tu linlin, take Xiao Long and Xiao Lu with this gentleman to a safe place.”

Bai Xianzhi handed the two small ones to Zhuo Long and Tu linlin. The four of them stared at him in astonishment. Tu linlin asked, “Boss, aren’t you leaving?”

Xiao Long and Xiao Lu rushed over, embracing his legs. “Dad, come with us!”

Bai Xianzhi winked playfully. “I’ll stay here. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. You all need to leave quickly.”

Zhuo Long and Tu linlin exchanged thoughtful glances. They understood that their boss’s identity was shrouded in mystery, and in this situation, they couldn’t afford to ask too many questions. They nodded and said, “Alright, Boss, take care.”

However, the two little ones weren’t concerned about these details. They clung to Bai Xianzhi’s legs and refused to let go. “We’re not leaving either. We want to stay with Dad!”

“Listen, both of you go with Brother Zhuo Long and Brother Tu linlin to a safe place first. Dad will be safe here,” Bai Xianzhi crouched down and patted their heads, whispering softly in their ears, “If anything happens, Dad will hide in your secret hideout.”

The eyes of the two little ones lit up. The secret hideout was a small tent Bai Xianzhi had bought for them. They loved playing inside it, even wanting to sleep in there. In their young minds, the secret hideout was a very safe place.

“Dad, can we stay with you—”

“No, you can’t.” Bai Xianzhi gently tapped their noses. “The secret hideout isn’t big enough for both Dad and you. You need to go with Brother Zhuo Long and Brother Tu linlin first. That way, I can make sure Dad stays safe.”

Hearing that their safety depended on them leaving, the two little ones reluctantly nodded. “Okay, then.”

Seeing that the little ones didn’t oppose leaving with the others, Meng Yan nodded to Bai Xianzhi. Though he didn’t understand why the boss chose not to leave, adults made their own choices, and he wouldn’t interfere. With a wave of his sleeve, he led everyone away.

The Three Thousand Food House fell into silence in an instant. Listening to the sounds of battle outside the door, Bai Xianzhi moved around the space, deactivating the spatial overlapping device. Suddenly, the Three Thousand Food House transformed back into the cramped and narrow place it once was. While the furniture and décor were different, the confined space felt like Bai Xianzhi had returned to a year ago. The kitchen had fewer pots and pans due to the spatial folding device being turned off.

He brought down a rattan chair left by his uncle from the second floor and placed it in the kitchen. Opening a can of beer, he lay back in the chair, contemplating various thoughts.

Why did he choose not to leave?

The reasons sounded somewhat absurd—only because he was a citizen of China.

If the Three Thousand Food House were destroyed after he left, there would be no chance for him to return to China in the second half of his life. So, he chose to stay. Whether he lived or died, he was determined to remain in China. This was beyond doubt.

Just as the people in the Three Thousand Worlds were willing to risk their lives to protect it, Bai Xianzhi couldn’t detach himself from his homeland, China. If he left the Three Thousand Food House now and it remained safe, that would be fine. But if the Three Thousand Food House came under attack by the stone beings, a single strike would reduce it to rubble. At that point, he would undoubtedly regret it. So, he’d rather stay here from the beginning—living together, dying together. Of course, returning to China would be the best outcome.

The rattan chair swayed as the sounds of battle grew clearer. Bai Xianzhi closed his eyes and waited in silence.

“What are you doing?”

The sudden voice shattered the tranquility. Bai Xianzhi opened his eyes abruptly, staring up at the person before him in astonishment. “Feng… Feng Ye, you… why are you here?”

Feng Ye’s silver eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Bai Xianzhi. “If I hadn’t come, no one would know if you died!”

Bai Xianzhi’s mouth twitched. “…It wouldn’t be like that.”

Feng Ye coldly snorted and snatched the beer from his hand. “The stone beings are about to arrive. Come with me!”

As he spoke, he grabbed Bai Xianzhi’s hand and began to lead him outside. Bai Xianzhi pulled his hand back, raising an eyebrow. “No need. I’m not from this world. This cottage also exists in my world. The stone beings shouldn’t be able to harm me. However, you should go to a safe place quickly.”

Feng Ye turned around and looked at him solemnly. “I don’t fully understand the principles behind how the Three Thousand Food House is connected to two large worlds, but I know you are currently within a spatial rift. Unless you leave the Three Thousand Food House immediately and move to another location in your world, you won’t be safe. Otherwise, under the stone beings’ attack, when the Three Thousand Food House, you won’t escape death either.”

“…If you don’t want to come with me, fine. I’ll watch you walk out of this door. Once you disappear, I’ll go to a safe place.”

Bai Xianzhi looked at the doorway with a twitching corner of his eye. Stepping out meant entering the spatial rift, so how was he supposed to return to Wutong Lane?

This cursed Three Thousand Food House was playing games with him. When he needed to go to the spatial rift, it only allowed him to go to Wutong Lane. But now that he needed to go to Wutong Lane, it was forcing him into the spatial rift. Was it deliberately against him?!
