Chapter 379: Chapter 373 What Do You Want to Do

Ever since Qingyue ascended to the Immortal World, she had been serving as a servant in the Li family for the past year, enduring grievances with no place to voice them.

At this moment, Qingyue wished to throw herself into Yan Rufeng’s arms and cry her heart out. However, she couldn’t do that, for Qingyue knew very well that Yan Rufeng’s heart belonged only to Yi Mu.

Nevertheless, from the very beginning of their acquaintance, Qingyue had never considered Yan Rufeng as a brother.

Their eyes met, filled with unspoken words, yet neither of them spoke.

Li Xihan, who had followed Qingyue out, saw the awkward situation and couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.

"Young Master Yan, Sister Qingyue, why are you two standing there foolishly? The banquet is ready..."

Li Xihan broke the awkward silence and led Yan Rufeng and Qingyue to the Li family’s banquet hall.

Before they could even take their seats, Li Mo approached them.

Li Mo bowed and cupped his hands, saying, "Please, take the seat of honor, Young Master Yan."

Yan Rufeng did not stand on ceremony and took his seat. Qingyue sat beside him.

The wine had been poured, and Li Mo raised his glass, saying, "It is an honor for my Li family to have Young Master Yan as our guest. I propose a toast to show my respect."

With a gulp, Yan Rufeng raised his chopsticks and took a good look at the array of dishes before him. It was apparent that the banquet had cost the Li family at least half a year’s expenses.

In the center of the table, a dish gleaming with light caught Yan Rufeng’s eye.

"Aha, that’s dragon meat!"

Yan Rufeng did not expect that the seemingly weak Li family could serve such exotic dishes.

Clearly, the Li family had spared no effort to entertain Yan Rufeng.

In the Immortal World, the reason dragon and phoenix meat could be served was because they were from impure bloodlines, such as Mang Dragons, Panlong Dragons, and Flood Dragons...

And those phoenixes with impure bloodlines couldn’t actually be called phoenixes. Immortals referred to them as such solely due to their similar appearance. In reality, they lacked the ability to be reborn from the flames.

These impure bloodline dragons and phoenixes, though stronger than common mutant beasts, were practically useless when faced with more powerful mutant beasts.

Of course, some Immortals specialized in cultivating these impure bloodline dragons and phoenixes, attempting to elevate their bloodline. However, the resources required for each level of advancement were unaffordable for most families and individuals.

Even so, in his previous life, Yan Rufeng had raised two impure bloodline Mang Dragons. As for the impure bloodline phoenix, Yan Rufeng hadn’t had the chance to raise one before his disciple betrayed him, forcing him to self-destruct and leaving many regrets...

In the Immortal World, although Immortal families preferred to slaughter impure bloodline dragons and phoenixes to entertain guests, their prices were exorbitantly high. In Yan Rufeng’s memory, the lowest-priced low-level Mang Dragon he had bought cost a million top-grade Immortal Jade.

In the Immortal World, top-grade Immortal Jade was extremely rare. Even powerful Golden Immortal Realm experts found it hard to possess a single piece.

Thus, common Immortals couldn’t even dream of enjoying the delicacies of dragon or phoenix meat.

Yan Rufeng casually picked up a piece of dragon meat and placed it in Qingyue’s bowl.

"Sister Qingyue, this past year has been hard on you. Eat some dragon meat to replenish yourself."

Dragon meat was not only incredibly delicious but also rich in Immortal Yuan Qi. Low-level Immortals could advance a realm with just one bite.

Hearing it was dragon meat, Qingyue felt a surge of panic and dared not touch her chopsticks.

In the Mortal Domain, dragons existed only in legends. Even the most powerful cultivators had never witnessed their true form.

Dragons were auspicious totems in the Mortal Domain. Now, even though they were in the Immortal World, the thought of eating dragon meat still made Qingyue very uncomfortable.

Yan Rufeng seemed to read Qingyue’s mind and smiled, "Sister Qingyue, this dragon meat is not from a True Dragon, but from impure bloodline Flood Dragons and Mang Dragons. You can eat it without worry."

Upon hearing that it was Mang Dragon and Flood Dragon meat, Qingyue hesitated no more and started eating the piece Yan Rufeng had placed in her bowl.

After three rounds of wine, Li Mo took out the storage ring Zhao Shuo had given him and placed it in front of Yan Rufeng.

"Young Master Yan, inside this storage ring is the reward from City Lord Zhao. Please accept it with a smile."

Yan Rufeng picked up the storage ring and gave a faint smile.

"Patriarch Li, it seems there are quite a lot of Immortal Jade in this ring."

Li Mo smiled wryly.

"The extra Immortal Jade is from us, to thank you for compelling the Zhao family to break off the engagement and save my daughter from fire and water."

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled.

"Patriarch Li, I won’t take credit for something I didn’t earn. The matter of the Zhao family breaking off the engagement is insignificant. I don’t want any extra rewards, and I will only take fifty thousand out of the hundred thousand reward."

Using his Divine Sense, Yan Rufeng swept the storage ring and moved fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Jade to a secluded spot on Azure Dragon Star within his Purple Mansion.

Then, Yan Rufeng handed the storage ring back to Li Mo.

Li Mo did not reach out to take it, quickly declining.

"Young Master Yan, you deserve all the Immortal Jade given by Zhao Shuo. How could we split it with you? The extra is our token of appreciation. Please, don’t refuse and just accept it."

After Li Mo finished speaking, he gave Li Xihan a signal.

Li Xihan smiled sweetly.

"Young Master Yan, you should take it. Otherwise, I won’t let Sister Qingyue go with you!"

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng smiled helplessly.

"In that case, I have no choice but to accept it."

This time, with the Immortal Jade given by Li Mo, Yan Rufeng had a total of one hundred and fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Jade.

With these one hundred and fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Jade, Yan Rufeng, who had just ascended to the Immortal World, managed to ease his financial embarrassment.

After the banquet, Yan Rufeng and Qingyue went to Fengqiao Water for some fun under Li Xihan’s guidance.

At the Li Family’s Council Hall, ten elderly men with solemn expressions sat. Their worried faces were evident.

Among these ten, besides Li Xing, the other nine were newly emerged elders from the Li family’s older generation.

Li Xing, Li Mo’s father, had never taken his eyes off the main door of the hall. When Li Mo appeared, he stood up abruptly.

"Momo, how did it go?"

Li Mo replied excitedly, "Father, Young Master Yan accepted."

"That’s fantastic."

Li Xing immediately turned to the other nine elders and bowed. "Uncles, the matter is settled. From now on, our Li family need not fear the Zhao family anymore."

"Ha ha!"

One of the elders laughed heartily. "Five hundred years ago, Emperor Yan helped the Zhao family seize the city lord position. Who would have thought that five hundred years later, our Li family would also earn Emperor Yan’s favor? Looks like the Zhao family is doomed."

"What?"

Li Mo exclaimed, "Second Grandpa, are you saying that Young Master Yan achieved emperor status five hundred years ago and even helped the Zhao family seize the city lord position?"

The nine elders in the hall exchanged knowing smiles.

One of the elders said cheerfully, "Momo, you hadn’t ascended to the Immortal World at that time. If you want to know about Emperor Yan’s deeds, just ask your father Li Xing when you have the time."
