Chapter 1705: Reunion; Conflict

The first dish, A Sword in Martial World, was just two bowls of soup in two different colors, with a carrot in the shape of a tiny sword. That was it!

In Ye Xiao’s opinion, the sword was well made, but that was it. Nothing else was impressive at all!

As for the second dish, Grace and Enmity, Ye Xiao really was disappointed. It was just a mixed stew of cat, weasel, chicken, dog, and snake.

At first, Ye Xiao thought that perhaps the animals represented different powerful beasts like dragons and tigers. However, there were a lot of powerful beasts in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, so there was no need to use other animals. As he thought deeper, he was enlightened. The weasel stole a chicken, and the dog guarded the barn… The cat always made trouble, while the snake sometimes stole the eggs…

It was quite a complicated situation among these animals. That was exactly the martial world.

This dish tasted good.

The third dish was the Fight with Life and Death. It was made from the Land Dragon and the White Tiger. It was the fight between a dragon and a tiger.

The Tangle in the Mortal World was a mixed stew as well. It had all kinds of flavors, such as sour, bitter, sweet, and spicy… However, different flavors were in different layers, so they didn’t ruin each other’s taste. There was the dearest sweetness first, and then the heart-breaking bitterness, followed by the torturing spiciness…

In the Supreme Rosy Cheek, there was the brain of the Land Dragon and the heart of the phoenix. It was the most expensive dish on the menu. Maybe the price already made this one the supremacy.

…

The last dish was a soup, Tangle of Red and Green. There were red carrots, white carrots, and some green leaves in the bowl.

Ye Xiao and the Flower King tasted every dish and gave comments on them. They seemed to enjoy the big meal.

“Come on. Let’s try the One Thousand Mile Assassination!”

“Here! Let’s drink up the Hidden Sword in Sweetness.”

“We need one more Solitary Journey!”

“I want one more Blood of Heroes!”

“Good liquor! Excellent!”

The two of them were having such a good time. The King of Poisons was always cautious, so he didn’t really lose himself in it until he drank that Blood of Heroes… He started to talk louder too, and his face turned red.

“The owner… I am telling you… Whoever owns this tavern must be a genius…” Ye Xiao drank up the Solitary Journey and said.

“That’s right. He must be amazing.” The Flower King didn’t talk much, but he gave the tavern the compliment.

While the three of them were enjoying the feast, somebody came in.

Somebody came to the tavern.

Before the person entered the tavern, a charming scent blew in. As the person walked in, it seemed every movement brought ice and snow from the world of the ice mountain.

People looked over and saw a lady in white clothes, whose long hairs were like falling spring and bright eyes like stars. She was giving everybody a feeling like she was a frozen mountain and nobody could ever get near her.

She was so beautiful, but the coldness drove people away.

Her face was under the black-silk mask, but people in this tavern all had sharp eyes to see her face! They knew that this lady was incredibly beautiful!

Their eyes lit up.

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up.

Ye Xiao was sincerely emotional, unlike others! He was thrilled!

The Flower King and the King of Poisons looked at the lady and turned around. Ye Xiao was still staring at the lady. He was so excited.

When the lady in black clothes was going to say something…

Ye Xiao shouted before she said anything. “Hey, beautiful lady over there! Don’t you feel lonely? Look here. I have ordered a lot. I don’t think we can finish the dishes here. Why don’t you just come over and join me?”

Everybody heard it, and it shocked them all!

The man in black silk heard the voice and started to shake. She looked over and got shocked.

When people thought that it was going to be a fight between the lady and the rude villain, the lady actually cracked a big smile and said, “If you insist, I would love to join you with my humble heart.”

After that, she actually walked to Ye Xiao like a little bird.

– Pah, pah, pah… –

People’s jaws fell off and hit the floor.

They didn’t know the lady’s cultivation level, but she had shown everybody how cold and distant she was. They believed she must have an ill temper…

However, unexpectedly, the impassive beauty actually walked to Ye Xiao when Ye Xiao just rudely asked her to join him…

They were shocked, and many of them still looked at the table where Ye Xiao sat.

‘Is the woman not as cold as she looks like?’

‘Did we all misjudge?’

They watched the young man in white clothes stand up and grab the lady’s small hand like a varmint. He looked really like an animal, and he talked to the lady like a wolf talking to a lovely rabbit. “Take it easy… Don’t fall…”

When everybody was shocked by what was happening, suddenly…

The young man actually grabbed the young lady’s hand.

The lady actually accepted it, and she took the seat beside him.

“This one here is good…”

“That one is savory as well…”

…

Ye Xiao was generously giving the lady dishes he liked. Whatever he liked, the lady ate without hesitation. She was totally off-guard.

“Holy hell!”

A big tough guy almost got his jaw to fall to the floor.

“Is this real?”

In fact, he was not alone. Everybody in the tavern was shocked. It was just too unbelievable…

‘Isn’t it too easy to hook up with a young woman?’

‘That doesn’t make sense…’

‘I have traveled in the martial world for my whole life, and I still can’t find myself a wife. Whenever I need a woman, I go to the brothel… Why haven’t I ever met a lady that is so easy?’

‘I care too much about my reputation, don’t I?’

‘Do women always love bad guys?’

Every man was jealous as they watched Ye Xiao and the lady enjoying the food, having a good time together.

‘How come? Why does he get to enjoy the time with the lady? All he has is a pretty face! That is nothing useful!’

They were eating… They were drinking… They were talking… Something changed again.

The young man held the young lady’s hand and talked soulfully. The lady seemed to be enjoying the moment so much…

“Holy hell… This is unbearable! Why does every good woman end up with a stupid guy like that!” Somebody threw out a bag of purple spirit coins on the table and left with anger. He obviously didn’t have a wife, because he was really ugly…

The lady was Xuan Bing!

Bing’er saw Ye Xiao, and that melted every inch of the ice mountain of her. She became a thoughtful maid again. She would accept everything Ye Xiao wanted to do to her, including… something they must do privately at night!

Ye Xiao and Xuan Bing didn’t expect to meet each other again in this place. It was such a surprise! If they weren’t surrounded by a bunch of strangers, she would jump over and hold Ye Xiao in her arms.

They didn’t care what people thought of them now…

Ye Xiao simply neglected those men.

However, somebody cared.

Before the Flower King said something, he abruptly raised his head.

Somebody had come to the table.

It was a man who looked tough and tall like an iron tower. The man waved his hand, which was as big as a bear’s claw. He was going to put the hand down to hit the table, and he said, “Young lady… These are simply some left-over on the table. Come with me! I promise you something much better!”

Ye Xiao, Xuan Bing, and the Flower King frowned.

The King of Poisons wanted to stop the man’s hand. As he touched the tough man’s hand, he was shocked.

The King of Poisons stopped the man’s slap, but the tough man was obviously much more powerful than the King of Poisons. That clap almost destroyed the hand of the King of Poisons. The tough man laughed and said, “Well, it seems you guys have a fighter… Girl, I don’t think these people are strong enough to protect you.”

Ye Xiao didn’t speak.

Xuan Bing sat straight up, and a layer of frost covered her face. She said, “Bugger off!”

That was cold like ice.

The man looked annoyed. He said, “You should appreciate my kindness, woman. The pretty boy doesn’t even dare to say a word. He is definitely a freeloader. You can’t choose a man only because of his pretty face. He is going to sell you out one day. Look at me. I am not that good-looking, but I am strong and reliable! Listen to me. Come over, and let’s have some good food. Let’s do this peacefully… You will be happy, and I will…”

The man was being rude. Before he finished talking, he was slapped and hit away backward making turnovers. That was a tough strike.

Xuan Bing did it because she couldn’t stand the humiliation anymore.

How could the great Elder Xuan Bing endure the nonsense of a guy like that?

As she did the slapping, Ye Xiao was surprised. In fact, he was overjoyed.

Xuan Bing’s slapping was fast, powerful, and accurate! That was an attack of a real superior cultivator!

Cultivators in the Qing-Yun Realm spent more time on training skills than people in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Xuan Bing could surely make some beautiful moves. It wasn’t so surprising. However, the tough guy was obviously more powerful than the King of Poisons, who was at level one of the Saint Origin Stage. Xuan Bing could never put down a man like that with only some good skills! She must have absolute power!

In other words, Xuan Bing was at least at the same level as that tough guy!

Ye Xiao was lost in the good times with the company of a beautiful lady, but he should pay attention to Xuan Bing’s improvement. As he now looked at her, he was shocked. Xuan Bing was already at level five of the Saint Origin Stage!

Ye Xiao was always calm and steady, but… Xuan Bing was way more powerful than he expected!

He had the Boundless Space with countless treasures. He had seized some lucky opportunities and worked pretty hard on cultivation. After all that had happened, he was only at level eight of the Saint Origin Stage!

How did Xuan Bing reach the fifth level so fast?

When they were ready to ascend to this world, Ye Xiao was the most powerful one. When they arrived, Ye Xiao should be only at level three of the Faery Origin Stage, and Xuan Bing should be at no higher than level two! Within one year, Xuan Bing had actually climbed up almost thirty levels!

‘This is…’

It was unbelievable. It was unacceptable. It was unimaginable!

Ye Xiao couldn’t imagine what actually had happened to the lady that could make her improve so fast… No matter how lucky he was, there should be a limit…

How did Xuan Bing do it?

The tough man was dazzled after that fierce slap on the face. He flew out over a hundred feet and hit a table. The owner of that broken table was also jealous of Ye Xiao for having a beautiful girlfriend, so he seized the opportunity and made it an excuse to get on Ye Xiao. He stood up and kept swearing abusive words.

The Flower King humphed and slightly turned over his left hand. Suddenly, some beautiful flower walls grew up and surrounded that table.

Those were some splendid and colorful flowers.

In fact, the flower walls were only about half of the height of a man.

However, the appearance of the flower walls showed his attitude and prestige.

Ye Xiao smiled and tapped Xuan Bing’s hand. He wanted her to calm down and relax. ‘Let’s go on talking, and let the others take care of the problem.’

The flower walls abruptly showed up. The audience burst into chaos. Somebody already knew who the man was, so they were terrified.

“The Flower King!”

An old man in the back stood up and exclaimed.

The Flower King used to shock the world with his flower ocean. He hadn’t shown up in the hundreds of thousands of years, but the stories of him were still told everywhere!

The Flower King humphed and blandly said, “I haven’t come out for many years. It is a surprise that somebody still recognized me. My master is having dinner here. He just got his family back, and it should be a great thing. We don’t want anybody to interrupt his moment.”

He looked around with a fierce look in his cold eyes.

People finally understood why the lady agreed to join the young man so easily. It turned out that they were a couple…

However, one thing had shocked them badly!

‘My master?’

Who was the Flower King? He was a legend! He was the man from the myth! Who could be the Flower King’s master then?
