164: A thank-you drink?!
Bai Wanling whispered, taking out a slightly old piece of paper that had been caressed countless times.
Her jade-like hand caressed the paper, and Nangong Yu's face, his gentle smile, involuntarily came to mind.
"Perhaps I already know what love is!"
"But can I express this love? Will he accept it?"
Bai Wanling sighed lightly, feeling a little lost.
Just then, the communication jade slip beside her flickered slightly, making Bai Wanling's eyes brighten.
She quickly picked up the communication jade slip, and after a single glance, she hurried out of the Cultivation room.
Soon, she arrived at the side courtyard and saw Nangong Yu and the other person sitting in the courtyard.
Seeing her arrive, Nangong Yu smiled slightly and waved, "Wanling, over here!"
Bai Wanling's face showed joy, and she quickly trotted over, "Young Master Si Chen, you've come out of seclusion!"
"Mm!"
Nangong Yu nodded slightly, "I've disturbed you a lot during this time. I've prepared a table of dishes, and I'd like to invite Fellow Daoist Bai and you, Wanling, to have a drink!"
"It should be Wanling's inadequate hospitality!" Bai Wanling said, a little embarrassed, "Mother asked me to entertain Young Master Si Chen, but I failed to fulfill my duty."
Nangong Yu smiled slightly, "Don't overthink it, we just wanted to Cultivate for a few days. Oh, by the way, where is your mother?"
Hearing this, Bai Wanling was startled. She seemed to have been so focused on coming over that she forgot to inform her mother.
Bai Wanling's face flushed slightly, and she quickly said, "I messaged Mother earlier, she should be here soon."
Saying that, she quickly sent a private message to her mother, urging her to come quickly.
Outside the courtyard, hearing their conversation and looking at the message she had just received, Bai Qiqi couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.
A daughter grown up cannot be kept at home!
She sighed inwardly, feeling a little helpless. She had originally come to see Bai Wanling, who had rushed over here, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
She put away the communication jade slip and quickly walked into the courtyard, smiling, "Two Fellow Daoists, I, Bai, am late, please forgive me!"
Seeing her arrive, Bai Wanling let out a sigh of relief, but then suddenly thought of something, her expression changing slightly. Did Mother hear something?
She looked at her mother, but saw her expression unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
Nangong Yu and Nangong Ruoxue stood up and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Bai is too polite. Calculating the time, tomorrow is the opening of the Seven Emotions Secret Realm. Today, I specially prepared some wine and dishes to thank Fellow Daoist Bai for taking us in these past few days!"
Bai Qiqi glanced at the two of them, but couldn't help but be slightly surprised. They weren't wearing masks?
Did they let down their guard and reveal their true appearance?
However, it's no wonder Wanling fell for him; this face is indeed quite a Prodigy!
Compared to the young men of the Spirit Fox Clan, he is even better, and possesses a masculine aura, lacking that feminine charm.
No wonder Wanling likes him!
Bai Qiqi stopped thinking about it, cupped her hands and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Shangguan is joking. If anyone should be grateful, it should be me thanking the two Fellow Daoists."
Nangong Ruoxue smiled slightly and said, "You two stop being so polite, hurry up and sit down, I'm already craving it!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yu couldn't help but smile, "Fellow Daoist Bai, let's sit down first and try my cooking!"
The few of them sat down, and saw eight dishes already laid out on the table, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, looking exquisite.
These dishes were steaming hot, and a faint, alluring aroma wafted out, making people's mouths water.
On the table, besides four pairs of chopsticks, there were also two bottles of wine in glazed wine bottles, and four wine cups!
Seeing this, Bai Wanling quickly stood up, "Young Master Si Chen, Wanling will pour wine for Mother and you!"
Saying that, she picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for all three of them. The aroma of the wine filled the air, making her involuntarily wrinkle her nose and swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Nangong Yu smiled slightly, "Wanling, don't be so polite, quickly sit down and have a drink with us!"
"Okay!" Bai Wanling's face lit up with joy, and she quickly poured herself a cup.
Nangong Yu raised his cup and smiled, "I've disturbed you a lot during this time, I toast to you, Fellow Daoist Bai!"
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan is too polite!"
The four raised their cups and drank the wine together!
"Such fragrant wine! I've never had such good wine before. This time, it's thanks to the two Fellow Daoists!"
Bai Qiqi couldn't help but exclaim. This wine was mellow and refreshing, and after a sip, her mind felt clear and her whole body was comfortable. It was indeed the best wine she had ever tasted!
Nangong Yu smiled slightly, "This wine was brewed by me in my leisure time, it's called intoxicating clear wind - name of the wine. If Fellow Daoist Bai likes it, I'll send you two bottles later!"
Bai Qiqi's heart rejoiced, and she said shamelessly, "To be honest, Fellow Daoist, I really do like it, so thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, please eat!" Nangong Yu smiled slightly, put down his wine cup, and gestured.
Bai Wanling stood up, refilled the wine cups for the three of them, and then sat back down.
She picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, her eyes brightening. When her gaze fell upon Nangong Yu, there was even more admiration.
The person she likes is so amazing!
Not only is his cultivation powerful, but he also knows Alchemy, grilling meat, and brewing wine, and now his cooking is so delicious!
And his personality is good too. Is she really worthy of such a perfect person?
Bai Wanling felt inexplicably a little down. She couldn't help but eat two more bites of food, then picked up her wine cup and said, "Young Master Si Chen, Wanling toasts you!"
Nangong Yu was slightly stunned. He felt that Bai Wanling seemed to have changed a little in an instant.
He didn't think much of it, picked up his wine cup, clinked it with hers, and drank the wine in his cup.
Immediately, he reminded her, "This intoxicating clear wind - name of the wine has rich energy and is beneficial to cultivation, but it can be intoxicating. With your Deity Transformation Realm Middle Stage cultivation, three cups are advisable!"
Bai Wanling's eyes narrowed slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, Young Master, Wanling understands."
Saying that, she refilled Nangong Yu's cup again.
The four of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was harmonious. By the time the dishes on the table were swept clean, it was already three-quarters past Hai Shi (9:45 PM)!
By this time, one bottle of intoxicating clear wind - name of the wine was not yet finished, and Bai Wanling had already fallen asleep on the table.
Bai Qiqi looked slightly tipsy, already seven-tenths drunk. She smiled, "Two Fellow Daoists, my little girl didn't listen to my advice, I'll take her back first."
"Fellow Daoist Bai, please do as you wish!" Nangong Yu and the other person smiled slightly and stood up.
Bai stood up and nodded slightly, then picked up Bai Wanling by the waist and quickly walked out of the side courtyard.
Watching the two leave, Nangong Yu smiled, "Sister Xue, let's take a bath and rest for the night, then go to the Seven Emotions Secret Realm tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
Nangong Ruoxue's face was as beautiful as a flower, a smile gracing her pretty face, which was flushed with a three-tenths drunkenness.
Next... the passionate scene goes without saying, but Nangong Yu wasn't drunk yet!
...On the other side, Bai Qiqi, holding Bai Wanling, stumbled back to her sleeping quarters.
She put down Bai Wanling, quickly took out a Medicinal Pill and consumed it, and only then did her expression relax considerably.
She glanced at her daughter, then at the direction of the side courtyard, her expression thoughtful.
