Huang Quan and Liu Ying can return to the pot after they disappear, but you can't expect them to return one by one after they come in, can you? To outsiders, it would seem more like the room is eating people than returning to the pot.
Not to mention Peluvelli, who would be instantly destroyed if Liu Bai were to actually touch her.
Moreover, Huang Quan now feels that Liu Ying is enough to assist her.
So the car was pushed out in an hour.
However, the fact that it was Xianyun who came this time made him quite embarrassed.
The sense of relaxation I had just developed vanished in an instant.
Xianyun thought about it and realized that it made sense; Peluvelli and Gui Naifen hadn't stayed in the room for very long either.
Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief, since she herself was completely unprepared and did not want to be prepared.
"...These young people these days are really something."
Xianyun posted a rant about the immoral and disrespectful behavior of young people.
"Oh, I wasn't talking about you."
"it's okay no problem."
Liu Bai also felt that it was quite awkward to have a different person deliver the food each time.
“I am well aware that I am doing something immoral.”
"..."
Xianyun pushed up his glasses.
You're being a bit too frank.
"But then again, this doesn't seem like something Ningguang would do."
Xianyun had some dissatisfaction with Ningguang in his early years, but he no longer has any now. He even thinks that Ningguang may be the most competent Tianquan star in the past few hundred years.
"I think there must be someone instigating this."
"Su Mei".
"Ok?"
“I said the one who instigated it was Su Mei.”
"..."
I heard a name that was quite unexpected.
"...Su Mei?" Xianyun sighed, somewhat unable to understand.
Although it's not nice to say it like that, Su Mei is the kind of super top student in her eyes.
Although she didn't want Shen He to completely become like Su Mei, she would still use Su Mei as a role model for Shen He from time to time.
After all, this person really doesn't need anyone to worry about him.
She is the kind of person who doesn't want her child to worry her all the time, but also feels a little lonely when the child really doesn't need her to worry.
So this person will expose Gan Yu's dark past whenever he sees her.
"I'll go get dressed first." Seeing that Xianyun had no intention of leaving, Bai got up to get his clothes.
I can barely go without it in front of my own family, but I have to wear it when facing someone like Xianyun, who's practically an outsider.
Fortunately, both Liu Ying and Huang Quan are asleep in bed right now, so no one will stop him.
"Hey, you can change it, don't bother with this old crane."
Idle clouds shifted their gaze.
Liu Bai changed clothes quickly, finishing in about ten seconds—after all, there was no need to wear thick clothes in the bedroom, loose pajamas were fine.
Then Xianyun's gaze shifted to Liuying and Huangquan on the bed.
"...Have you spent the last two days with these two people?"
"almost."
Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.
"It could be said that the sky and earth were completely darkened."
"I can imagine it." Xianyun revealed a subtle look of sympathy.
She wasn't familiar with Liu Ying, but with Huang Quan... well, they were just nodding acquaintances.
However, Huang Quan truly displayed his martial prowess.
"This is what they mean by every family having its own problems," Xianyun remarked.
"This sentiment is quite realistic."
Liu Bai served himself some food.
There was no interference from the Yellow Springs or the Fireflies below, nor was there any need to interfere with them, so Liu Bai had regained his autonomy.
Can you imagine that when Huang Quan was down there, Liu Bai couldn't get up at all?
At least with fireflies, you can carry her around for a bit.
Liu Bai is much better now; it's like he can eat and read at the same time during his student days.
It's much simpler to handle two things at the same time than to handle three or four things at the same time.
"Xianyun, have you eaten?"
"not yet."
"eat together?"
"Um...then I'll gladly accept your offer."
Xianyun was also a gourmet, so he naturally knew that having someone watching others eat would disturb their meal.
But she couldn't go out now. If Liu Bai didn't invite her, she was prepared to sit in the living room for a while.
Anyway, once that group of people finishes making a fuss, they'll leave.
(Ah... speaking of which, I complained about Xianyun to Cheng Ling Shuang before. Liu Bai watched Xianyun's back as she went to find bowls and chopsticks and suddenly remembered something.)
At the time, Liu Bai said it was Feng... cough cough.
(Is Ling Shuang's mouth not kept shut?)
Liu Bai suspected that there might be a snitch in his family.
Xianyun found her bowl and chopsticks at this time, and Liu Bai pushed the food cart into the restaurant with his book. The two sat together and ate and chatted.
"The chef Ningguang hired is just so-so," Xianyun said, offering his critique of the chef after his first bite.
"If we take you, Xianyun, as the standard, then quite a few chefs are just average."
Liu Bai flattered Xianyun.
"Well, it's still quite remarkable among mortals." Xianyun gracefully stepped down.
As an immortal, she obviously didn't use her social skills often, and subconsciously said something that was difficult to back down from.
This topic could easily be extended to the point that Liu Bai has no taste.
"Have Ningguang been sending these kinds of dishes these past few days?"
Xianyun picked up a slice of ginseng.
This looks like an old ginseng root.
Is it really okay to supplement like this?
"More or less, is there a problem?"
Of course there's a problem; this is clearly overkill... for the average person.
Seeing Liu Bai's expression of no reaction, Xianyun immediately understood that Liu Bai was not getting enough nourishment, so he put the ginseng slices into Liu Bai's bowl.
"You should eat more to replenish your body."
"ginger?"
"That's ginseng."
"Sorry, I didn't quite get the right score... Ah, this is ginger."
"...?"
Xianyun, not believing in superstition, picked up two pieces herself.
Then, Xianyun's expression twisted slightly.
"I take back what I said earlier. This cook is quite something. How did he manage to make ginger and ginseng look so similar?"
The two pieces of drifting cloud are exactly one piece of ginger and one piece of ginseng.
“After all, it’s ginger…” Bai sighed, “At least he didn’t mix the ginger shreds with the potato shreds.”
The idle clouds remained silent.
Okay, anyway, it doesn't seem like it was done on purpose.
If it was intentional... wouldn't this be considered a political incident?
Xianyun's thoughts, unusually, drifted towards a political direction.
But it's only for a moment.
"Is there any wine inside?" Xianyun asked.
I feel like my conversation with Liu Bai is a bit awkward, so let's have some drinks to liven things up.
"Take a look at the refrigerator. Ningguang put some things in it when she came before, but I haven't checked it."
There wasn't much of a chance to see it.
"Row."
Xianyun went to check the refrigerator and found some wine inside, but it turned out to be medicinal wine for nourishing the body.
Isn't Ningguang's technique a bit over the top?
...Well, judging from Liu Bai's current performance, it's less about being exaggerated and more about not being enough.
Ningguang's decision was indeed without major problems—Xianyun really didn't expect to realize Ningguang's outstanding insight in this regard.
Xianyun returned carrying two large bottles of wine and two cups.
then……
Less than an hour later, Xianyun began to lose his senses.
"Shen... Shen He was such a worry-free girl when she was little, it was heartbreaking..."
Xianyun sobbed as she complained to Liu Bai, her speech clearly slurred.
Liu Bai glanced at the empty bottle at Xianyun's feet.
This guy can really hold his liquor.
Liu Bai doesn't drink much, so he didn't actually drink much and was very clear-headed.
"Gulp... Ah, but that child, it's precisely because he's so easy to take care of that it's so worrying, plus that fate..."
Xianyun seemed to have a decent tolerance for alcohol; he didn't cause any drunken outbursts.
"Lord Liu Bai, do you understand? It's that kind of person who, despite being at the age when they should be most lively, is..."
The rambling of an old person.
Liu Bai pretended to listen attentively, his eyes still fixed on the book.
"And then there's Gan Yu, that girl. She only comes to see me once in a long while, and she doesn't even like the new clothes I made for her. Although I, this immortal, live in seclusion, I still keep up with the trends in the human world! That child always treats me like an old relic!"
Is it trendy?
Liu Bai glanced at Xianyun.
Xianyun's clothes are pretty trendy... well, they might actually be quite trendy.
However, Gan Yu most likely won't like it—although Gan Yu's black stockings aren't much better.
