32: Li Wuyou, the image of a senior sister...
Imperial Capital, Imperial City.
Old Tavern, a tavern run by an old man.
"What do you want to drink?"
Ye Hongfu asked.
"Whatever!"
Qin Wushang glanced around, saying indifferently.
"Then how about some 燒仙釀 (roasted immortal brew)?"
"It burns the throat!"
"Then how about Longhu Xian (Dragon Tiger Immortal)?"
"It smells fishy!"
"Then let's have some Peach Blossom Immortal, with some roasted meat?"
"It's tasteless!"
"Then what do you actually want to drink?"
"Whatever!"
At this moment, Ye Hongfu felt very helpless.
She had never thought that someone's initiative could be so awkward.
"So... this is how he felt in his previous life."
She murmured inwardly.
It was annoying, but she couldn't draw her sword.
"Young Lady! Then how about a 'Whatever' set meal?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the tavern's counter, and a young man stood up.
"You have 'Whatever' here too?"
"Yes! Please look, Young Lady! This is our newly launched menu. A 'Whatever' set meal costs 18,888 Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
The young man handed over a menu, and Ye Hongfu glanced at it.
She couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Whatever, 18,888 Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Anything is fine, 6,688 High-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"You choose, 8,888 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"It's all good, 668 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"You decide, 1,888 High-Grade Spirit Stones!"
It can be like this?
You, you might as well just rob the Heavenly Dao's entire family!
So expensive!
She had been to this Old Tavern countless times, but she had never seen such a menu!
Also, where's the old man?
Why did the boss change to a young man?
"Do you really want a 'Whatever' set meal?"
Ye Hongfu couldn't help but ask, feeling a bit pained.
18,888 Top-Grade Spirit Stones, even she, who loved to drink, couldn't bear it; it was simply too expensive!
How many missions would she have to do, how many Great Demons would she have to kill for that?
"You decide!"
Qin Wushang replied casually.
His attention was entirely on the young man's head at this moment!
That was also a golden light screen!
【Name: Li Wuyou】
【Age: 18】
【Realm: Dao Palace Realm】
【Identity: New owner of the Old Tavern, abandoned son of the Li family】
【Fate: Golden】
【Experience: His father is the Great Chu's General of the North, and his mother is a maid. Although he is a Young Master of the Li Manor, he has no status.】
【He was intelligent and clever since childhood, but his mother's humble background meant he was never favored by his father. At the age of 5, his Awakening failed, and he had no special Physique, leading to his complete abandonment...】
【At 17, due to internal strife in the General of the North's Manor, he was driven out and came to the Old Tavern, becoming an attendant.】
【At 18, the old man of the Old Tavern died, and he became the owner, innovating and revitalizing the tavern's business.】
【Opportunity: 1. Tonight, while out purchasing Spirit Medicine for brewing, he passed a black market roadside stall and found a dilapidated bronze wine pot. He bought it and discovered it was an Immortal Pot (can be plundered).】
【Opportunity: 2. Tonight, while out purchasing Spirit Medicine for brewing, he passed a black market roadside stall and found a rusty sword. He bought it and unexpectedly discovered remnants of immortal techniques inside (can be plundered).】
Qin Wushang looked at Li Wuyou, at the unique menu, and a smile appeared on his handsome Face!
Seeing him smile, Ye Hongfu gritted her teeth and pointed at the set meal, saying, "Give me one, you decide!"
"And add a pot of sword immortal brew!"
"Alright!"
Li Wuyou also smiled!
His first innovation was finally going to sell!
"Shopkeeper! Your names are quite unique!"
He was about to leave when Qin Wushang spoke.
"Young Master, you flatter me! This is merely a realization from deep thought at night, nothing grand!"
Li Wuyou said, then turned and left the counter.
The Old Tavern wasn't large, and business was a bit slow now. There weren't many staff, just Li Wuyou!
And a very thin young girl, like a waiter, serving tea and wine.
She also had a golden fate!
But no opportunities recently!
He guessed!
This was basking in the glory of Li Wuyou, who had a protagonist template!
"Senior Sister Ye! Given your status in the Academy, how would you come to a place like this to drink?"
Qin Wushang took a seat and asked in a low voice.
"I stumbled upon it!"
"The place is quiet, and the wine is delicious, even better than those big restaurants. It's quite good! So I come often!"
"But I haven't been here for over a year, and the old man is gone. I guess his Lifespan ran out! It's a pity!"
"Why, don't you like it here? Do you want to go to a big restaurant?"
Ye Hongfu raised an eyebrow.
She loved coming to this place, both in her previous life and now.
Basically, whenever she earned Cultivation resources and had time, she would come for a few drinks.
This time, returning from an outdoor mission, she was surprised to hear that Qin Wushang had come to the Academy, and then came the scene of saving him.
It could be considered a kind of fate!
So she brought him directly!
But now that she thought about it, she felt she was too reckless!
Why did she bring him to such a small place for their first drink? She should have gone to a big restaurant; that would have given her more Face.
"It's alright!"
Qin Wushang didn't care, nodding.
"By the way, how did you become the Disciple of the Empress?"
Ye Hongfu changed the subject, asking with some curiosity.
According to her memories from her previous life, returning a thousand years ago, Qin Wushang would not have joined the Great Chu Academy!
He was a Loose Cultivator, always flirting with Fairies everywhere!
Even if he later joined a force, it would be the Demonic Path's Holy Land, the Nine Nether Sacred Cult!
And he had an ambiguous relationship with that Demoness.
Returning a thousand years ago, how did he end up joining the Academy? What went wrong?
She couldn't figure it out!
"I suddenly had an Awakening, and Revered Master passed by where I lived, so she took me as her Disciple!"
Qin Wushang replied casually.
His mind was now full of the Immortal Pot from the black market roadside stall and that immortal technique.
"So that's how it is."
"Then Junior Brother is indeed lucky to be able to become the Disciple of such an existence. Senior Sister is truly envious."
Ye Hongfu said, surprised.
"Something must have gone wrong, changing the trajectory of his growth."
She murmured in her heart.
A thin girl slowly brought two pots of wine and three small dishes.
"Please enjoy, guests!"
Ye Hongfu looked at the three small dishes, completely uninterested.
She directly opened the other two pots of wine, sniffed them, and then gulped them down.
"Is this still the aloof and elegant Sword Immortal Ye Hongfu I remember?"
Qin Wushang watched, surprised.
In his previous life, it wasn't the first time he had seen Ye Hongfu drink, but she had never chugged it like this.
In her previous life, she would sip slowly from a small cup!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Noticing Qin Wushang's gaze, she choked on the wine, her Face turning red. She hastily put down the wine pot and fumbled to pick up a cup, trying to salvage her image.
"We were in a hurry just now, and I was a bit thirsty... I lost my composure for a moment, Junior Brother Ye, please don't mind it."
Ye Hongfu said, her Face red.
It's over! It's over!
Her elegant image, maintained for so many years, collapsed in front of him in an instant!
Ye Hongfu, oh Ye Hongfu!
You really messed up!!
You didn't come alone today, nor did you disguise yourself as usual!
You must be elegant, and savor your wine slowly!
"It's fine! Senior Sister, drink slowly!"
Qin Wushang withdrew his gaze and said slowly.
"Senior Sister Ye, I heard that in the Imperial City's black market, one can often find treasures of unknown origin but extremely high cost-performance. Is that true?"
He asked again.
He had never actually been to the Imperial City's black market in his previous life!
Ye Hongfu said she often came here; perhaps she had different connections.
"Black market?"
"It's true, yes. Do you want to go to the black market?"
Ye Hongfu was surprised.
She often went to the black market to sell some stolen goods, so she naturally knew of its existence!
"They say things in the black market are cheaper. I'm new here and want to buy some Cultivation resources, and also see the world."
Qin Wushang found an excuse.
As long as he went to the black market before Li Wuyou left, and found the Immortal Pot first, it would be fine.
"It is indeed cheaper than the Academy's. It's not impossible to save some money, but the goods there are all of questionable origin."
"If you want to go, you can go tonight."
"I also wanted to go, coincidentally."
Ye Hongfu said, taking another big gulp of wine.
sword immortal brew!
Her favorite; if it weren't for maintaining her image in front of Qin Wushang, she would have drunk directly from the pot.
