113: Chapter 113 Autumn Orchid Garden

After a moment, Hu Hai patted Ning Yuan's shoulder twice and earnestly advised:

"I know you have a Void Refining expert behind you, but how can one person contend with several Island Masters? Brother, you should just let it go!"

"Thank you for the reminder, brother! Come, let's have a drink!" Ning Yuan's face broke into a smile as he immediately raised his wine cup.

"Come, let's have one!" Hu Hai raised his cup.

Then the two of them drained their cups in one go, tilting their heads back!

"Haha, brother, you're a man of action!"

"Brother, let's drink more! Today, only one of us will walk out of here standing upright!"

"That will definitely be me!"

"..."

After that, neither of them brought up other matters. They just clinked cups and drank heavily, each trying to outdrink the other.

They were truly drinking, not using spiritual power to refine the alcohol. In the end, Hu Hai, relying on his superior cultivation, managed to drink Ning Yuan under the table.

After refining the alcohol with his spiritual power, Ning Yuan originally intended to call it a night, thinking they had both had enough. Unexpectedly, Hu Hai gave him a piece of news.

"Brother, there's a gathering tomorrow night, attended by some Island Masters and other people of considerable cultivation. You must definitely attend, get to know more people!"

"Since you've invited me, brother, I naturally won't refuse!"

"Good, it's settled then! Tomorrow night at Qiulan Garden!"

"..."

After exchanging a few more polite words, Ning Yuan and Hu Hai parted ways, each leaving.

On the way back to the inn, Xiao Yezi tilted her head to look at Ning Yuan, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she spoke somewhat shyly:

"Um... about tomorrow night's gathering, can I go too?"

Instantly, Ning Yuan was speechless, almost laughing. He was perfectly clear about what Xiao Yezi was thinking—she just wanted to go for a big feast!

Most of today's dishes had ended up in her stomach, which had made her very happy. Now she was already thinking about the next meal—what a foodie!

"If you want to go, then I'll take you! It's no big deal!" Ning Yuan raised his hand and patted her little head, saying with a smile.

"Yay!"

Xiao Yezi immediately cheered, then hugged Ning Yuan's arm tightly. "Brother is the best, I like brother the most!"

Ning Yuan chuckled and said, "Hehe, brother likes Yezi too!"

Xiao Yezi's eyes narrowed into slits as she giggled, "Is it the kind of 'like' where a brother likes a younger sister, or the kind of 'like' where a 'brother' likes a 'younger sister'?"

In this sentence, Xiao Yezi emphasized the words 'brother' and 'younger sister' in the latter part heavily, clearly indicating the two meanings were different!

Although Xiao Yezi's personality was a bit timid, she wasn't stupid. She knew about certain things, and from Ning Yuan's behavior towards her, she could tell he had some ideas about her!

And as for her feelings towards Ning Yuan... "Of course it's the kind of like where a brother likes a younger sister!" Ning Yuan said calmly. As for what he really meant by that, probably only he himself knew.

After all, who wouldn't like such an adorable little sister!

Xiao Yezi grumbled, "Brother is bad, not telling the truth. Yezi won't talk to brother anymore!"

Immediately, Xiao Yezi let go of the arm she was hugging, stomped off angrily with big strides, looking like she was genuinely angry and wouldn't be easily appeased!

"Don't be angry! Brother will buy you something delicious!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yezi's steps halted. She quickly retreated a few steps, hugged Ning Yuan's arm again, her face beaming with joy. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"If you love eating so much, be careful someone tricks you away with food. Where would I go to find you then!" Ning Yuan thought with an inward laugh. Appeasing Xiao Yezi was the simplest thing—a little food settled it, much easier than dealing with other women.

"Then from now on, I'll only eat what brother gives me. Even if I get tricked, I'm willing!" Xiao Yezi tilted her head in thought for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

Can't handle it, absolutely can't handle it!

Who knew this little girl could be so flirtatious!

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Yuan felt a tingle all over. His fondness for Xiao Yezi grew even stronger. With a grand wave of his hand, he declared:

"Yezi can eat as much as she wants! Brother is not short on money!"

"Mhm mhm, brother is the best!"

At this moment, Ning Yuan's face wore a broad, almost matronly smile, grinning so widely his eyes were nearly invisible.

A hint of a smile also appeared in Xiao Yezi's big eyes. She thought to herself, brother is so easy to coax—this way she could have another big feast!

Then the two of them began a journey of buying and eating... The next evening, Qiulan Garden.

This garden was the largest in scale, most luxuriously decorated, and most beautifully landscaped in Yaoguang City... It was specifically used for banquets. Its level of refinement was something low-level Cultivators could never even imagine in their lifetime.

And today, Ning Yuan and Xiao Yezi came here to attend the gathering. Everything inside opened Xiao Yezi's eyes wide, and even Ning Yuan couldn't help but marvel. Truly worthy of being the most luxurious place in Yaoguang City—its reputation was well-deserved!

However, upon seeing the various delicious delicacies, Xiao Yezi forgot all about her surroundings. She focused intently on sitting at the table, eating and drinking voraciously, even neglecting Ning Yuan beside her in her haste.

Ning Yuan, meanwhile, watched the performance before him with great interest. Dozens of beautiful female Cultivators, draped in sheer gauze, were dancing gracefully. Their alluring figures, their faintly visible snow-white skin, their captivating, soul-stealing gazes... Just ask yourself, can you handle it?

This undoubtedly stirred the nerves of the male Cultivators present. It was a sight that made one's Bloodline surge and heart race, making them wish they could immediately engage in three hundred rounds of battle.

And indeed, some did just that. Many male Cultivators who couldn't restrain themselves directly rushed forward, picked up one or two of the women, turned, and immediately left the hall. What they were going to do naturally needed no explanation!

These beautiful female Cultivators were prepared for this purpose, so naturally there was no resistance. They would only welcome them with smiling faces and continuous soft gasps... "Ah!" Just as Ning Yuan was watching intently, Xiao Yezi beside him suddenly let out a soft moan, making one's imagination run wild.

The sound carried a hint of pain, along with a tiny bit of shame and annoyance!

Hearing the sound, Ning Yuan couldn't help but turn his head to look!

As a result, he saw Xiao Yezi's face flushed red, her big, watery eyes glaring at him, while she held a large piece of meat in her hand, eating with oil all over her mouth!

Ning Yuan still didn't seem to notice anything amiss, but when his gaze shifted, he discovered his own big hand had somehow found its way to a certain part of Xiao Yezi's delicate body.

The soft sensation there made Ning Yuan unable to resist becoming engrossed in it. He even unconsciously gave it a couple of squeezes, making him even more reluctant to let go.

"Ah! Brother..."

Feeling the movement of that big hand, Xiao Yezi couldn't suppress a moan. Then, realizing the setting was inappropriate, she quickly covered her mouth to stop the sound.

Seeing the situation, Ning Yuan couldn't very well continue. He could only reluctantly release his big hand, feeling a slight regret in his heart. If not for the inappropriate setting, he would have taken care of Xiao Yezi right then and there!

He raised his hand to rub his nose, wanting to cover up the awkwardness. But then he caught a faint milky fragrance. Ning Yuan immediately put his hand down and said nonchalantly:

"Yezi, don't overthink it. Brother was just helping you measure your body, nothing more!"
