Chapter 250: Chapter 110 Yan Chixia
"Heaven and earth are boundless, the universe lends its power!" Upon hearing this voice, Chen Ze knew who had arrived, and from the appearance, it was indeed the classic look of Wu Ma.
"Yan Chixia?" Chen Ze was a bit stunned and blinked. He truly hadn’t expected Yan Chixia to come to his restaurant.
"You know me?" Yan Chixia looked at Chen Ze curiously. His memory was quite good, and he was sure he had never met Chen Ze before.
"Uh... I suppose you could say I know you?" Chen Ze scratched his head. Back when he first watched ’A Chinese Ghost Story,’ he had been particularly envious of Yan Chixia.
Flying with a sword, possessing powerful magical abilities, and filled with chivalry, Chen Ze admired Yan Chixia a great deal.
"Oh? Then what is your relationship with this demoness?" Yan Chixia glanced at Betty but decided to sheathe his sword first. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Uh, if I tell you I’m the owner of the restaurant and Betty is my employee, would you believe me?" Chen Ze was a bit conflicted, not knowing quite what to say, and upon further consideration, he realized that in Yan Chixia’s era, the concept of a restaurant probably didn’t even exist.
"Restaurant? Waitress?" Yan Chixia indeed didn’t understand.
"Something like an inn, and Betty is my shop assistant," Chen Ze explained. Yan Chixia then nodded, still not fully comprehending.
"Tsk, you folks, even running an inn, you have to turn it into something like this. However, your... restaurant, is quite interesting." Yan Chixia looked around and then gave the still unhappy Betty a clasped-hands gesture.
"Miss, I truly apologize. I initially thought you were an evil demon, so my actions and words were a bit too harsh. I am here to offer my apologies," Yan Chixia said earnestly, and Betty couldn’t maintain her displeasure anymore.
Chen Ze laughed. It was indeed like Yan Chixia to display such a heroic spirit.
"Senior Yan, my restaurant is called the Dream Restaurant, which can connect to all the worlds, so please don’t be surprised," Chen Ze explained with a smile.
"Oh? I’ve heard it said in Buddhism that ’a single flower forms a world, a single leaf a Bodhi.’ I never imagined your restaurant would possess such a marvelous creation," Yan Chixia marveled, looking around. Although the arrangement of Chen Ze’s tables was nothing special, the overall style and the lights above his head were an eye-opener for him.
"Heh, it’s not that miraculous, just a little bit of fortune. And Betty is not the kind of demon you speak of; she is a Succubus," Chen Ze said with a grin, revealing Betty’s identity to Yan Chixia.
"Succubus? What exactly is that?" Yan Chixia’s curiosity grew. He had noticed the demonic aura on Betty when he walked in, but it was different from the usual demons he encountered.
"It’s a kind of devil from the Western world that seduces mortals and then absorbs their Qi," Chen Ze thought this explanation was pretty good. After all, it would be difficult to thoroughly explain what a Succubus really is.
"Tsk, that’s somewhat similar to the demon I’ve been pursuing recently." Yan Chixia stroked his beard.
Chen Ze’s eyebrows raised. If it was Yan Chixia, combined with seducing mortals and absorbing vital energy, then it surely must be Nie Xiaoqian and the Dryad Grandma.
The moment he thought of Wang Zuxian’s peerless beauty, Chen Ze felt at a loss for words to describe his feelings.
"Alas, such a pity." Chen Ze sighed. The fate of Nie Xiaoqian was indeed quite regrettable.
"Oh? Do you have some thoughts, young friend?" Yan Chixia turned to Chen Ze. In this miraculous place, it was not impossible to encounter some magical occurrences.
"Senior Yan, if you haven’t found anything, you might want to visit Lanruo Temple," Chen Ze stroked his chin. The current Yan Chixia should be on the trail of Nie Xiaoqian and Dryad Grandma, although it will eventually lead to the Black Mountain Old Devil.
"Lanruo Temple? I’ll check it out next time," Yan Chixia nodded.
"Would Senior Yan like to eat something? The restaurant can basically make some dishes that suit your taste," Chen Ze said confidently. After all, he was no longer a novice chef.
"Haha, young friend, you are quite interesting. I, Yan, may not be good at many things, but I do appreciate fine wine, so I wonder what kind of wine you have here?" Yan Chixia shook his wine gourd.
A twitch formed at the corner of Chen Ze’s mouth; he didn’t actually make wine. Brewing was a weaker point for Chen Ze, but it’s not that he had nothing to offer.
"Well, Senior Yan, the wine here might be a little different from what you are used to," Chen Ze scratched his head, wondering if Yan Chixia could handle the ninety-six percent alcohol Water of Life.
"Oh? Are you talking about the wine from another world? That sounds quite interesting. Pour me a glass to taste," Yan Chixia suddenly became enthusiastic.
Chen Ze poured a glass of the Water of Life and brought it over, not daring to drink it himself; even the smell was enough to make his eyes water.
"Hss... Is this really wine?" Yan Chixia also noticed the unique aroma and couldn’t help but express his amazement.
"That’s right, Senior Yan, this is the wine from another world, the very high-alcohol-content Water of Life," Chen Ze nodded seriously.
"Why is it called Water of Life?" Yan Chixia was curious.
"Perhaps because after taking a sip, you can start a new life all over again," Betty said with a half-smile, looking at the glass of Water of Life on the table. She had tried it before, and she had to say the taste was extremely... stimulating.
"Then I must have a try," Yan Chixia took the cup and heartily drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Ze watched this scene, his mouth twitching again. A ninety-six percent alcohol drink downed in one gulp? Even Wu Song, who wouldn’t be fazed by three cups, didn’t show off like this.
However, remembering that Yan Chixia was an immortal cultivator, Chen Ze felt that Senior Yan should be able to handle it.
"Excellent wine!" Yan Chixia exclaimed. This wine was nothing like what he usually drank. One sip and it was like drinking a cup of fire, with the fragrance bursting forth.
"Truly excellent wine, bring me a whole pot..." Yan Chixia suddenly swayed, Chen Ze’s mouth twitched. No way.
No, Senior Yan, your image as a revered figure!
"Mmm... Truly excellent wine... exquisite wine..." Yan Chixia staggered, it seemed he couldn’t resist the power of alcohol after all.
Chen Ze sighed but still filled Yan Chixia’s wine gourd with the Water of Life to the brim.
"Senior Yan, aren’t you going to use your magic to expel the alcohol?" Chen Ze asked curiously, not believing for a second that Yan Chixia lacked the ability.
"Hehe~ Young friend, drinking wine~ is all about the ambiance~" Yan Chixia swayed as he looked at Chen Ze, his eyes not showing the slightest hint of drunkenness.
