113: Chapter 113 Encountering the Star Rain
On an ordinary street in the central part of the Immortal Realm, a girl with bright eyes, white teeth, and breathtaking beauty was looking left and right. One moment she was picking this up, the next she was grabbing that. She looked very much like a girl from the countryside, though her exquisite appearance suggested otherwise.
Suddenly, without paying attention, she seemed to bump into something.
Looking up, it was actually a handsome young man with a face like carved jade and a graceful bearing. He had white clothes and black hair, looking extraordinarily dashing!
“Miss, are you alright?” Cao Yang smiled slightly and gently supported Xing Yu's arm.
“Oh, I'm fine. Thank you, Young Master,” Xing Yu said, appearing a bit dazed.
“It was my fault for being careless and getting distracted, which led to me bumping into you. How about this? That tavern next to us looks decent. I'll treat you to a drink as an apology,” Cao Yang suggested warmly, as if he really were the one who had bumped into her.
“Ah, this... Young Master, it was I who was careless...”
“It's fine, let's just consider it making a new friend,” Cao Yang said with a smile, interrupting Xing Yu.
“Alright then,” Xing Yu thought for a moment and agreed.
The two of them went to the neighboring tavern called Fragrant Breeze Tavern and sat down by the window.
“Waiter, bring us your best wine and immortal fruits, and one of every specialty dish.”
Cao Yang called out to the waiter who was serving a neighboring table.
“Coming right up, guests! Please wait a moment, it'll be ready shortly.”
The waiter quickly replied with an enthusiastic expression.
“Miss, what is your name?” Cao Yang asked.
“My name is Xing Yu. And yours, Young Master?” Xing Yu replied.
“My name is Cao Yang. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Xing Yu,” Cao Yang said with a smile.
“Miss Xing Yu, I see you're wandering the city alone. It's easy to be targeted by bad people, especially those evil cultivators who kill for treasures.”
Cao Yang spoke seemingly casually.
“Who would dare rob me? I am...”
As Xing Yu spoke, she suddenly realized: if Cao Yang had no cultivation base, how could he be completely unharmed after she bumped into him?
“Fellow Daoist Cao Yang, what is your Realm? Why can't I tell?”
Xing Yu suddenly furrowed her willow-like brows and asked with a look of vigilance.
“Fellow Daoist Xing Yu, don't worry. I have no ill intentions toward you. My cultivation base is just a little bit higher than yours.”
Cao Yang said with an innocent smile.
“I simply saw such a powerful Peak Immortal Saint playing in the streets like an ignorant little girl and found it quite interesting, so I came over to get to know you, Fairy.”
“Of course, with Fairy's beauty, it's more that you are incredibly adorable!”
Hearing Cao Yang say this, Xing Yu felt a sense of relief.
She had been too careless. Because there were no Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm before, she hadn't been that cautious; it was only recently that a God had appeared.
She hadn't yet broken her old habits.
Just then, the dishes were served.
“Guests, here is the Monkey Wine and Immortal Peaches you requested, along with some of our shop's specialty snacks. Please enjoy!”
The waiter introduced the items enthusiastically.
“Come, Fairy Xing Yu, I truly want to treat you to a drink and make friends.”
As Cao Yang spoke, he took the initiative to pour a cup of immortal wine for Xing Yu and poured one for himself, which he began to drink.
Xing Yu saw that Cao Yang really seemed to want to make friends, and he had even drunk the first cup himself.
So she also picked up her wine cup, took a sip, and said, “Fellow Daoist Cao Yang, since you are sincere about making friends, won't you introduce yourself?”
“Mm, Fairy is right. It was my oversight.”
“I come from the Mingyue Dynasty of the Yuansheng Immortal Domain. I am the King of the Southwest of the Mingyue Dynasty, with the title Immortal King Xuan Yang. Of course, that was before; my Realm is no longer that of an Immortal King,” Cao Yang said as he poured himself another cup of wine.
“Is the God who appeared in the Yuansheng Immortal Domain before with you, Fellow Daoist Cao?”
Xing Yu thought for a moment, hesitated, but still asked.
She was still quite curious about that powerful God.
