Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1502 - 1499: Offense

The appearance of Yan Xihua made Yang Fei instinctively stand up, looking a bit nervous.

Out of courtesy, Qin Yanyang also stood up to greet her.

As for Sun Xingyu, he sat boldly in his original spot and frowned at Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, saying, "Why stand up? Don’t be so polite, we’re all family here."

Yang Fei felt he was just putting on an act.

Qin Yanyang didn’t think so, instead believing Sun Xingyu was simply being genuine and acting naturally.

"Exactly, exactly. You two are friends of Sun Lang, so you’re friends of me, Yan Xihua too. Don’t be so formal, or it would seem too distant," Yan Xihua also said with a laugh.

Yang Fei’s slightly tense emotions completely relaxed.

For some reason, he felt Yan Xihua was genuinely sincere, without any pretense, but considered Sun Xingyu was just showing off.

Both sat down again, and Yan Xihua waved her hand idly; suddenly, six fragrant dishes appeared on the previously empty table, along with four sets of bowls and chopsticks, four wine cups, and a pot of intoxicatingly fragrant Immortal Brew.

Yang Fei had been in the Southern Domain World for over half a year, understanding and having tasted some of the precious delicacies from the cultivation world here.

He instantly recognized that the six dishes on the table were extremely precious.

"Sun Lang, are these six dishes enough?" Yan Xihua asked Sun Xingyu with a playful smile.

Sun Xingyu glanced over and nodded in satisfaction, introducing to Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang: "Yang Fei, Minister Qin, this dish is called ’Eight Treasures Lion’s Head’. The so-called eight treasures are eight precious flying demon beasts of the Southern Domain. To make this dish, the eight treasures must be from Fourth Rank demon beasts or higher, and only the sole tenderloin from each can be used."

Yang Fei wasn’t particularly surprised, having tasted it once at Tian Nan Peak, but Qin Yanyang listened in shock: "Made from the tenderloin of eight kinds of precious flying beasts? And they must be demonic beasts of Fourth Rank or higher?"

Sun Xingyu nodded.

Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but take another look at the lion’s heads, murmuring involuntarily, "Does eating them extend life?"

Sun Xingyu shook his head: "It doesn’t. At least, not for us cultivators."

Qin Yanyang felt a little disappointed: "Oh, so this dish is purely about its rarity and taste."

Sun Xingyu laughed heartily: "Of course, Minister Qin. Don’t think that in this cultivation world, everything a cultivator eats is meant to assist cultivation. Actually, cultivators are humans too and need to enjoy delicious food."

Qin Yanyang nodded, expressing understanding.

Subsequently, Sun Xingyu introduced the other dishes one by one and finally said: "We are only four people, so based on the fine principle of not wasting, let’s have these six dishes. Yang Fei, Minister Qin, since you two are here at West Phoenix Valley, stay for a few more days. I can’t guarantee anything else, but the delicious cuisine of the Southern Domain Cultivation World will surely let you enjoy to your heart’s content."

Yan Xihua also said with a smile: "What Sun Lang says is right. Since you’ve come, stay longer so we can properly entertain you. By the way, Miss Qin, though these delicious dishes are mostly made to please the tastes of us cultivators, each dish’s ingredients are extremely rare and special, so they do offer great benefits for us cultivators. However, if ordinary people consume them, they can still strengthen the body and extend life."

Qin Yanyang quickly replied: "Thank you, Sister, for your gracious hospitality."

Yan Xihua giggled: "That’s right, good sister. From now on you may call me Sister. If anyone bullies you, tell me and I’ll stand up for you."

She glanced at Yang Fei at the end, laughingly saying: "Even if your husband bullies you, you can tell me, and I’ll help you get back at him."

Yang Fei couldn’t help but look at Sun Xingyu: "Can you control your woman?"

Sun Xingyu chuckled: "I can restrain her, but what she said and did wasn’t wrong."

Yan Xihua laughed even more happily, and Qin Yanyang also smiled, feeling Sun Xingyu had become much more intimate than before.

Yang Fei was speechless, yet his mood was much relaxed too.

Yan Xihua poured four glasses of wine, glanced at Sun Xingyu, lifted her glass towards Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, saying: "You two are Sun Lang’s best brotherly friends, having traveled from afar. As hosts, we first toast to you."

Qin Yanyang hastily lifted her glass, seeing Yang Fei looking at Sun Xingyu without promptly responding, secretly kicked him under the table: "Stop pretending. Sister Yan has such status and position, drinking with us personally is a gesture of respect towards Sun Xingyu. Are you still acting?"

Yang Fei blushed, hurriedly lifted his glass.

Sun Xingyu laughed heartily, lifted his glass too, and the four clinked their glasses, drinking the first cup.

Qin Yanyang drank Immortal Brew for the first time and immediately felt a warmth in her body, guiding the True Qi and Magical Power inside to circulate slowly, feeling the effect was similar to cultivating alone, amazed secretly.

In this cultivation world, having wealth and influence really made a difference, even eating and drinking attained a certain cultivation effect.

Yang Fei set down his glass, stood up, refilled his cup, and looked toward Yan Xihua: "Yan... Immortal Yan, I toast to you."

Yan Xihua smiled gently, looking at him.

Yang Fei said: "Thank you for taking such good care of my brother. I was worried for him before, but unexpectedly, he’s lived so well, making me, as his brother, extremely envious. Anyway, he hasn’t encountered misfortune, and I’m truly happy. Seeing him thrive, I’m really at ease."

As he spoke, he drank it all.

Yan Xihua also drank heartily, saying with a smile: "I’m delighted Sun Lang has friends like you."

Yang Fei smiled and looked at Yan Xihua, saying: "The brotherly bond between Sun Xingyu and me doesn’t need elaboration. Just by us appearing here, Immortal Yan should be able to see it, right?"

Yan Xihua nodded.

Yang Fei focused his gaze on Yan Xihua’s beautiful and graceful face, asking: "Then, how about your feelings for my brother? I’m daring to ask if they are genuine?"

Qin Yanyang’s expression changed, wanting to stop Yang Fei, but it was too late.

Sun Xingyu’s eyes revealed a deeply moved look; this was what brotherhood meant.

To ask such a question directly in front of Yan Xihua showed he truly regarded him as a brother.

Sun Xingyu stood up, put his arm around Yang Fei’s shoulder, about to speak first, but saw Yan Xihua look towards him, eyes full of affection, firmly saying: "My affection for Sun Lang is akin to the brotherly bond between you two."

Yang Fei pressed further: "Really?"

Yan Xihua moved her gaze from Sun Xingyu’s face to Yang Fei’s, both looking into each other’s eyes, and she smiled serenely: "It is true, unless you want me to swear by the Heavenly Dao to prove its authenticity?"

Yang Fei felt a chill inside.

Though he sensed no anger from her, nor saw any rage in her gaze, the casual words spoken by a Peak Late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse brought immense pressure, making him realize how greatly his words had offended Yan Xihua just now.
