Duma, seeing that Xia Feng had agreed to let him be a guide, was overjoyed, excitement evident in the corners of his eyes.
Having worked as a guide in Ice Mountain City, he had seen too many people. Xia Feng, with his beautiful companions, was clearly a young master of wealth. It was obvious to anyone, even someone plucked randomly from the street.
Duma felt he had struck gold. He also sensed Xia Feng wasn't stingy, so he knew this job would be quite profitable.
"What's fun and delicious to eat in Ice Mountain City? Take us around first."
Since they were here, they might as well explore. A day or two wouldn't make much difference.
In the Sacred Realm, time was what they had the most of, seemingly endless.
"Young Master, I'll arrange it right away. I'll take you sightseeing first, and then we'll arrange for food." Duma rubbed his hands, his meaning clear: he wanted payment upfront.
Xia Feng was generous and directly handed him a sacred crystal.
Duma, upon receiving the sacred crystal, nearly gasped aloud.
A small sacred crystal could easily be exchanged for a hundred sacred stones, and the one in his hand was worth three hundred.
Normally, when a young master tipped him a larger sacred stone, it was considered a generous gesture.
Now, it was as if Xia Feng had given him three hundred sacred stones. How could he not be excited? Not shocked?
It wasn't that Xia Feng was overly generous, but rather that this item was the least valuable thing Xia Feng could find.
Duma was simply lucky, and there was nothing more to say.
Duma, after confirming he had received the correct item, his lips trembling slightly, asked, "Young Master, did... did you give me the wrong one?"
In Duma's eyes, this was a very precious item, so he preferred to believe Xia Feng had made a mistake.
Otherwise, who would give a guide so much compensation?
"No, just take it. As long as you make our trip enjoyable, there will be a reward later." Xia Feng shook his head.
Duma heard this clearly and immediately bowed, "Young Master, please rest assured, I guarantee the best service to make you all satisfied. As for the later reward, I dare not ask for more; this is more than enough, very much enough."
Duma then showed off the sacred crystal in his hand.
"Take us sightseeing first," Xia Feng reminded him.
"Yes, Young Master." Duma pocketed the sacred crystal and prepared to lead Xia Feng and his companions on their tour.
Ice Mountain City truly lived up to its reputation as a tourist destination in the Sacred Realm. It was filled with visitors. Although they couldn't reside here, it remained a place they yearned to visit.
The scenery was pleasant, and the climate was cool.
A short stay here would leave one feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Duma guided Xia Feng and his group to several famous spots, and Liu Chan, Li Yurou, and the others had a thoroughly enjoyable time.
No matter where they were, playing was a normal part of life for girls, an indispensable part of their existence.
They not only loved to play but also enjoyed shopping.
Whether they bought anything was irrelevant; the process itself was what mattered.
"Young Master, after we finish visiting this attraction, I'll take you for a meal at the largest restaurant in Ice Mountain City. They have a specialty dish called the Ice Snow Rabbit."
"Ice Snow Rabbits can't be found elsewhere. They live in the barren snowfields outside Ice Mountain City and are very difficult to catch. Capturing an Ice Snow Rabbit requires strength at the Saint Monarch level or above; otherwise, it's impossible to catch them."
After touring an attraction, Duma suggested dining at Ice Mountain City's premier restaurant.
Every place had its own specialty cuisine.
As Duma mentioned, the Ice Snow Rabbit could only be tasted here and was indeed delicious.
Many people came to Ice Mountain City specifically for the Ice Snow Rabbit, wanting to try it.
"Alright, you arrange it," Xia Feng nodded.
"Okay," Duma agreed.
Given the generous compensation Xia Feng had provided, Duma was determined to be diligent and make all the arrangements.
Crucially, he knew Xia Feng wasn't short on money, so he was sure they would want to try the Ice Snow Rabbit.
Although the Ice Snow Rabbit was expensive, it was no issue for Xia Feng.
After visiting the attraction, Duma led everyone to the largest restaurant in Ice Mountain City, preparing to taste their specialty, the Ice Snow Rabbit.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Duma went to communicate with the person in charge to request a private room.
Because he brought customers who provided kickbacks, the person in charge was very familiar with him.
Unfortunately, there were no private rooms left; they were all occupied.
"Boss Dai, these guests of mine are important clients and aren't lacking in money. Could you give me the reserved Saint One private room? It would be a great help." Duma pleaded in a low voice.
"Little Du, the Saint One private room isn't open to the public; it's reserved for emergencies. What if the City Lord's son wants to dine here and there's no room? I'd be in a lot of trouble," the boss said, appearing troubled.
"The City Lord's son came yesterday. He usually comes every few days, so you don't need to worry. Besides, my guests are very generous. Look."
Duma then subtly showed the sacred crystal to the boss.
The boss's eyes widened upon seeing it.
"Is this the compensation he gave you?" the boss asked, swallowing hard, looking at Duma.
"Yes, if you open up the private room, you'll get some too," Duma confirmed with a nod.
The boss's eyes began to gleam with greed. People die for wealth and birds die for food, especially when it concerned his own establishment and who he chose to give the private room to.
Moreover, as Duma had said, the City Lord's son came every few days and had been there yesterday, so he certainly wouldn't be here today.
Therefore, he would have to make the room available.
With a gulp, the boss confirmed,
"Alright, the Saint One private room will be arranged for that young master and the ladies immediately."
