Chapter 198: Chapter 196: A Toast to You

Yi Mu then realized, her face instantly flushing with a hint of red. She shyly said, "Father, don’t just chat. The banquet is already set. Let’s first invite Young Master Yan to dine."

Yi Zhantian hastily said, "Yes, yes, Young Master Yan, let’s eat and chat..."

During the meal, Yi Zhantian brought out a wine he personally brewed and poured a cup for Yan Rufeng.

This wine, called ’Red Flower Wine,’ was brewed with the unique honey-red flowers of Cangxuan City. Yan Rufeng had tasted it in his previous life, though then it was brewed by Yi Mu.

Yan Rufeng took a sniff of the wine and murmured, "Still, Uncle Yi’s Red Flower Wine has a stronger aroma..."

Yan Rufeng tilted his head back and downed the cup in one go, praising, "Good wine!"

"Haha..."

Yi Zhantian laughed heartily, "As long as you like it, Young Master Yan."

Yan Rufeng had just placed the cup on the table when Yi Mu filled it again.

Then, Yi Mu raised her cup and said to Yan Rufeng, "Young Master Yan, since you enjoy my father’s Red Flower Wine so much, Mumu will toast you another cup..."

Wine is a good thing; a small amount can cultivate sentiment, but too much can intoxicate the soul. Wine can also temporarily make one forget longing and pain, or even turn a normal person into a madman.

Now, Yan Rufeng and Yi Mu finally reunited. Though she couldn’t remember everything, unlike Yan Rufeng, who was delighted and ended up drinking over ten cups of Red Flower Wine.

However, when Yi Mu tried to pour him another cup, Yan Rufeng refused. He knew that no amount of drinking could express his current feelings.

Good wine should not be overindulged. For someone like Yan Rufeng, who bore heavy responsibilities, he knew that only by staying clear-headed at all times could he remain undefeated and better fulfill his long-held wishes, rescuing his hometown from peril.

Yi Mu pouted and said, "It’s no fun if you don’t drink the wine I pour for you."

"Alright, just one more cup then..."

"Hehe..."

Yi Mu laughed. Yan Rufeng picked up his cup and suddenly remembered that he had once promised Yi Mu to take her to Earth, to see the customs of his homeland, and taste its special foods...

Thinking of this, Yan Rufeng hurriedly released his Divine Sense, sweeping toward the storage ring. In it, he had prepared various snacks for Niuniu. He took out one package and placed it in front of Yi Mu.

Yi Mu’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she examined the various snacks inside the bag.

"Young Master Yan, what is this package?"

Yan Rufeng smiled, took out a piece of chocolate, unwrapped it, and handed it to Yi Mu, saying, "Try it!"

Yi Mu carefully took it, examining it closely, thinking, "It’s so dark; can this be eaten?"

Yi Mu just took a small bite, slowly chewing.

"Wow!"

Yi Mu suddenly exclaimed, "Young Master Yan, what is this dark thing? It’s so delicious!"

"Mumu, this is called chocolate. It’s a specialty of my hometown."

"Really tasty."

"Hehe..."

Yi Mu put the whole piece of chocolate in her mouth and laughed joyfully.

Seeing this, Yan Rufeng took out a skewer of candied hawthorns from the bag.

"Mumu, this is candied hawthorn. In our hometown, it’s the girls’ favorite. Try it."

This time, Yi Mu did not hesitate. She took it without any politeness, immediately biting off one piece. Perhaps because the candied hawthorn was too delicious, she quickly ate three in a row, filling her mouth completely. Since the hawthorns were seedless, Yan Rufeng wasn’t worried about her hurting her teeth.

"Delicious, truly delicious, I’ve never eaten anything so tasty before."

Yi Mu praised while eating.

"Young Master Yan, your people must be quite fortunate."

Yan Rufeng smiled without replying, then opened a bottle of Sprite for Yi Mu.

"Oh my, Father, this is tasty. You must try it!"

Yi Mu said as she ran to Yi Zhantian and poured him a cup of Sprite...

In no time, Yi Mu distributed all the snacks from the bag, and soon only half a bag was left...

Yi Zhantian, smiling widely, saw Yi Mu take the remaining snacks and said to Yan Rufeng, "Young Master Yan, I never thought your people could make such exquisite food. Their lives must be very happy indeed."

Yan Rufeng replied, "Uncle Yi, compared to the Five Great Cities, my hometown is much better."

"Sigh!"

Yi Zhantian sighed deeply, then said, "Most of the people in our Five Great Cities lack a Spirit Root. Even those skilled in Martial Cultivation are very few. Their lives are constantly in hardship. In my lifetime, I hope to see the people of our Five Great Cities live as happily as your people."

Yan Rufeng said, "Uncle Yi, as long as you’re willing, I believe it won’t take long for the people of the Five Great Cities to achieve such a life!"

"Heh!"

Yi Zhantian chuckled bitterly, "Easier said than done. Although I’ve been practicing martial arts since childhood and might live a few years longer than ordinary people, turning the Five Great Cities into prosperous places might be impossible, even in a lifetime..."

Yan Rufeng was about to speak when he saw Yi Mu approaching.

Yi Mu stood behind Yi Zhantian, occasionally glancing at Yan Rufeng but noticed that he was constantly looking at her.

When their eyes met, Yi Mu’s face instantly turned red with shyness. She turned her eyes away, thinking, "Why does it feel strange the way he looks at me? Since he woke up, he’s been like this. I really don’t understand why."

Yi Mu lifted her head slightly, glanced at Yan Rufeng again, and murmured, "I must find a chance to ask him how he knows I’m called Mumu..."

Yi Zhantian saw Yi Mu’s uneasy movements and asked with a smile, "Mumu, are you happy today?"

"Yes, very happy."

Yi Mu blinked her eyes, smiled slightly, and added, "Father, if I’m selected by the Dragon Abyss Sect tomorrow, I’ll be even happier."

"Young Master Yan said it’s possible, so I don’t think there will be any problem."

"Hehe!"

Yi Mu laughed, "Father, if I join the Dragon Abyss Sect, I’ll come back often to see you and Mother."

"Haha..."

Yi Zhantian laughed, "Mumu, ever since you were taken in by the Immortal Master, you no longer belong to the mundane world. If you’re truly selected by the Dragon Abyss Sect tomorrow, just focus on your cultivation in the sect and don’t worry about me and your mother."

"Hmph."

Yi Mu pouted and said, "I don’t care. Once Great-Grandfather’s matter is resolved, I’ll not only come to see you but also bring you and Mother to the sect."

"Sigh!"

Yi Zhantian sighed, thinking, "With the Dragon Abyss Sect’s selection coming up, once Mumu leaves, it will be very difficult to see her again..."
