Ye Xiruo, Si Hao, Su Su, Xu Qing, and Elder Danfeng were arranged by Hua Rong to stay in a large private room. Su Su stretched out her slender, white fingers, picked up the exquisite menu, quickly ordered seven or eight bottles of spirit wine, and then gently put down the menu: "Alright, that's all for now! The medicinal cuisine is the same as Junior Sister's."
Ye Xiruo, who was caught in the crossfire even while lying down, said: "I definitely won't let my senior sister down."
The delicate side dishes and desserts were served quickly, and Si Hao, unusually, spoke up: "You should all try them, the taste is very unique."
"I like this braised beef; the flavor is rich and the meat is quite chewy, but it lacks a bit of 'spirit'."
"This cold shredded vegetable salad is quite good, it's refreshing."
Elder Danfeng, who was silently eating his peanuts, squinted his fox-like eyes and said, "They're all good. As expected of a chef from the Spirit Chef's Kitchen."
Ye Xiruo took a small pudding and slowly ate it.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere here, the atmosphere with the four young masters was not so harmonious and friendly. Even though the spirit wine was delicious, the snacks were exquisite, and the service was attentive, all four of them looked preoccupied.
"Why is the young master here? Should we go and see him?"
"It's rumored that Hua Rong and the young master are good friends. It's not surprising that the young master came to support Hua Rong's restaurant opening."
"So many people have come to the Pill King Palace."
"I guess the young master dragged her here to boost popularity!"
"It seems the two of them have a really good relationship." Qingming's tone carried a hint of envy.
"Our purpose in coming here is the same as that of the young master and the others, so there's no need to overthink it. We should just enjoy ourselves." Chi Qiong took a sip of the fiery wine, a red glow flashing across his face before disappearing quickly: "Good wine. It actually increased my cultivation by a tiny bit."
“Hua Rong has really invested a lot in this restaurant, so the wine certainly won’t disappoint us. Just drink to your heart’s content. If possible, I’d like to have the restaurant send some home every day. I’m sure Father will love it.” As soon as Bai Ye said this, the others’ eyes lit up. That’s right, how come they hadn’t thought of it? These spirit wines were clearly made by highly skilled spirit wine masters. Whether it was the taste or the spiritual energy they contained, they were rare treasures.
The four relaxed and slowly began to drink. When they had drunk enough, Xuanji suddenly spoke up: "Don't you have some medicinal cuisine here?"
"Yes, this is the menu, you can take a look."
"This lotus seed, white fungus, and ginseng soup; roselle and lotus leaf porridge; snow plum; and black-boned chicken soup with notoginseng."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The people in the lobby on the first floor were completely captivated by the spirit wine. Almost every guest who left took a few bottles home. The manager smiled and carefully packaged the wines, then gave each person a beautifully wrapped bag containing an introduction to Zuixianju, as well as information on the taste, functions, and prices of various spirit wines and medicinal dishes. Of course, there was also a small portion of snacks to accompany the wine, which served as a small gift.
This thoughtful little gesture touched many people, and many are already planning when to come again.
The manager admired Ye Xiruo even more, as the restaurant's decoration and every detail were Ye Xiruo's ideas. It seemed the restaurant was already halfway to success. He believed that in the near future, Zuixianju would surely become the most renowned restaurant in Danwang City, all thanks to the young master.
Hua Rong, as the apparent owner of Zuixianju, greeted the group of distinguished guests on the second floor one by one, exchanged pleasantries, and then took a stroll around the lobby downstairs before returning to his private room, exhausted. He lay down and rubbed his head, saying, "Qingqing, my head hurts. The medicine exploded. Please rub it for me."
Qingzhiyi waved her folding fan, showing no sympathy for Huarong who was lying there pretending to be dead: "You didn't do anything either?"
"You have no idea how annoying it is to deal with that group of people. I'm so tired of smiling that my face is about to freeze."
“Young Master Hua, you’re free to show your displeasure.” Qing Zhiyi closed her folding fan and gently massaged Hua Rong’s temples. “It will be fine after a few days.”
"That's true, I also have a share in Zuixianju, so if it survives, it will benefit me too."
"It's good that you know."
"I'm not short of money," Hua Rong said, sounding a little aggrieved.
"You should be glad that your senior brother isn't here, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enjoy this comfort."
"Little Qingqing, you've changed."
Qingzhiyi rolled her eyes and pinched Huarong hard: "I'm happy, I'm willing."
"I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough?"
"Oh, I think I've come at the wrong time. Have I disturbed you?"
The wooden door opened a crack, revealing half of Ye Xiruo's face with a mischievous grin.
"Why are you speaking such blunt truths? You know you're bothering us, so why don't you leave now?"
Hua Rong stood up abruptly from her chair and roared at Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiruo slipped in and closed the door: "Shut up."
Qingzhiyi chuckled to herself.
"Little Qingqing, how could you do this to me?"
"Serves him right." He doesn't deserve any sympathy.
"Thank you for your hard work today."
"Shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
Ye Xiruo's mouth gaped open as she stared at Hua Rong in disbelief: "Are you that short of money?"
"Which eye of yours saw that I lack money? I'm so poor that all I have left is money."
Qingzhi covered her face with her fan. Although she was telling the truth, it was still too embarrassing.
"Then why did you ask me for spirit stones?" Ye Xiruo said angrily.
"I mean the pills, the ones you refined yourself."
"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? They're all yours." Ye Xiruo pulled out a bunch of aphrodisiac pills and anti-aging pills.
"These pills are very effective. You can try them if you don't believe me."
Hua Rong's handsome face suddenly turned ashen, as if he were constipated: "Little Ye Zi, don't you have any normal pills?"
"I think this pill is perfectly normal, otherwise how could everyone love it?"
Hua Rong was deeply hurt, looking utterly hopeless. Ye Xiruo stopped joking and took out a few bottles of perfectly normal pills, handing them to Hua Rong: "Cultivate diligently, and maybe next time we meet, you'll have to call me senior, hahaha!" Just thinking about it made her so happy.
"Don't even think about it. How could you possibly surpass me so easily?"
"I'm going into seclusion soon. What are your plans?"
"Return to the Hua family for secluded cultivation."
"Go back to your family and cultivate diligently."
This is the rhythm of being provoked: "You all cultivate well, see you again when the Heavenly Ranking Competition begins, Senior Brother and Brother Xiu Qi will be there then."
