"You all are…"
Looking at the crowd before her and the table full of dishes, Yunli couldn't help but slightly open her mouth, and even her deep eyes widened involuntarily.
What kind of place was this? This was the Seat of Divine Foresight's General's Mansion! Such a sacred territory, yet these people were openly eating here in grand fashion.
Eating wasn't the issue, but General Jing Yuan, her own grandfather, and this Mr. Welt were actually drinking alcohol together. And in front of Master Diviner Fu Xuan… was this Immortal's Happiness Tea? Was this stuff actually a chain across the entire Xianzhou Alliance?
"Oh? Hahaha, little Yunli is back. Come, come, come sit by Grandpa. Let's see which of these things you like to eat."
Seeing Yunli walk in, the already somewhat tipsy old General Huaiyan stroked his beard, laughing heartily as he beckoned the girl over.
"Grandpa… you, you're drinking again?"
Staring at Huaiyan's flushed face, our Miss Yunli couldn't help but cover her cheeks. Although she didn't object to her grandfather drinking,
But… once this old man got drunk, it seemed like she, on her own, might… probably… have a bit of trouble handling him.
"Hahaha, it's fine, little Yunli. Grandpa is really happy today, so I just drank a bit more. It's okay, it's okay—Grandpa can take care of himself—hic!"
While laughing heartily, this slightly short, flower-bearded old general couldn't help but let out a burp, leaving our Miss Yunli speechless once again.
He still claimed he hadn't drunk too much, yet he was already hiccuping…
Though her heart was filled with helplessness, the deed was done. In the end, Yunli obediently sat down beside her grandfather, gently smoothed her skirt, and turned her gaze to the delicious dishes on the table.
Tracing back to the roots, both the Xianzhou Luofu and the Xianzhou Zhuming essentially originated from the ancient kingdom of the Sui Emperor. Though that was already 9,000 years ago, even after the erosion of time, the dietary culture of the various Xianzhou ships hadn't changed much.
Dishes like Qiongshi Bird Skewers, Mo Bread Rolls, and Soda Bean Juice existed on the Xianzhou Zhuming as well.
"Miss Yunli, here."
"Mm, thank you, Master Diviner."
After Yunli took her seat, Fu Xuan, who wasn't far from the girl, somehow produced two drinks from nowhere: one cup of Immortal's Happiness Tea and one cup of Star Taro Boba.
Immortal's Happiness Tea, as the name suggested, was a beverage that even immortals would feel extremely happy drinking. But in reality… it was just a cup of milk tea.
Oh, and the Immortal's Happiness Tea in Fu Xuan's hand was different from the usual ones. This one had been personally made by Yun Fan using the fine tea that our Seat of Divine Foresight General Jing Yuan had gifted her.
One had to admit, Yun Fan's efficiency was truly high. In just one day, he had already turned Jing Yuan's tea leaves into milk tea. Truly worthy of the speed of the Celestial Empire.
As for that cup of Star Taro Boba…
There wasn't much to say about it—it was just an ordinary cup of Star Taro Boba from a few rounds in Golden Alley.
Facing the two drinks Fu Xuan handed over, Yunli hesitated slightly before choosing the cup of Star Taro Boba. Of course, this didn't mean the girl disliked Immortal's Happiness Tea; it was because the packaging of that Immortal's Happiness Tea was somewhat different from usual.
Regular Immortal's Happiness Tea had labels, production dates, production addresses, ingredient lists, and so on.
But the one in Fu Xuan's hand was just a bare transparent cup wall— at first glance, it looked exactly like a no-label, no-claim, no-responsibility product.
After handing the Star Taro Boba in her left hand to Yunli, Fu Xuan looked at the Immortal's Happiness Tea in her right hand that resembled a three-no product, hesitated and struggled inwardly for a moment, then gritted her teeth and, with great heartache, handed it to Jing Yuan, who was currently gulping down Five Grains Jade Nectar.
"General, this cup of Immortal's Happiness Tea is for you."
"Oh? For Fu Qing to actually take the initiative to offer this general Immortal's Happiness Tea— this general is truly flattered."
Somewhat surprised, he accepted the three-no drink. A trace of astonishment appeared on Jing Yuan's face. After working together with Fu Xuan for so many years, this was the first time she had offered her beloved milk tea to him.
"No, it's nothing. General, you're too polite."
In response to Jing Yuan's thanks, Fu Xuan only shook her head slightly. In her heart, she quietly muttered to herself: 'Anyway, this was made with your tea leaves, so giving you a cup isn't excessive… Ugh, it still hurts so much…'
The girl thought this to herself, but our General Jing Yuan had no idea. He took the Immortal's Happiness Tea, inserted the straw, and vigorously sucked in a big gulp.
The Immortal's Happiness Tea was sweet upon entry, with a lingering aftertaste. The soft, fine milk blended perfectly with the sweetness of cane sugar, and in this perfect combination, there was also a hint of tea fragrance.
The most wonderful part was the flavor of this tea—bitter with a subtle sweetness, leaving a fragrance in the mouth. It was almost identical to the fine tea he had brought back from other star systems that day… or rather, exactly the same…
Wait! This tea… this tea couldn't possibly be the ones he had gifted to Fu Qing, could it?
Thinking of this, Jing Yuan's expression instantly stiffened. He remembered that when he gave these tea leaves to Fu Xuan, she had said she would use them to make milk tea. Could it be that what he was drinking now was…
At this thought, a bolt from the blue struck Jing Yuan's heart. An indescribable pain surged up, even though he had indeed gifted these tea leaves to Fu Xuan, and how she disposed of them was her freedom, but… but Jing Yuan's heart still ached! This was simply a waste of heavenly treasures!!
With this in mind, Jing Yuan's expression immediately became somewhat melancholic and sorrowful. His gaze fixed firmly on Fu Xuan, who was not far away, heartily drinking her Immortal's Happiness Tea.
"What's wrong? General?"
Feeling a gaze full of resentment fall upon her, Fu Xuan was slightly stunned. She then looked up, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of confusion as they met Jing Yuan's.
"No… it's nothing. I'm just a little sad…"
"Sad?"
Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Fu Xuan showed a surprised expression. Without probing further, she turned her attention back to the dishes before her.
While Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan were exchanging looks, Yunli, who was beside them, took in the entire scene. A trace of regret couldn't help but rise in her heart.
Yes, our Miss Yunli regretted it. She somewhat regretted not choosing that cup of Immortal's Happiness Tea. Judging from General Seat of Divine Foresight's reaction just now, that cup of Immortal's Happiness Tea was obviously extremely delicious—even to a level that ordinary people could hardly reach.
