Chapter 1021: A Generous Young Man
Driven by a desire to watch the spectacle, Xiao Han also stood beside Xin Xiushi.
Then she discovered that Master Xin was actually eating a handful of melon seeds while watching.
Wow, this guy is really good at watching the show.
Upon seeing Xiao Han approach, Cultivator Xin politely asked, "Would you like some melon seeds?"
Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
If I'm too polite, it will be hard for me to fit in with this group of dramatic cultivators.
Then, Master Xin gave Xiao Han a handful of melon seeds, and the two of them stood aside, eating melon seeds and commenting on the fight.
Of course, it was Xin Xiushi who gave the comments, while Xiao Han was responsible for agreeing with him by saying "uh-huh" and "oh".
After squabbling for about half a cup of tea's time, a young man who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and who seemed very sunny and cheerful, ran over.
"Hey Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhou, please stop fighting! We all live in the same town, we'll see each other all the time, why make things unpleasant? Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!"
After saying that, he used a bit of spiritual power to separate the two of them.
Fatty Wang, panting heavily, glared at the skinny old man and said, "If I hear you talking about my cooking skills behind my back again, I'll beat you up."
The skinny old man retorted, "Heh, if your skills aren't good, they're not good. Why should I be afraid of what others say?"
"you......"
Fatty Wang was about to rush up and hit him again, but the young man quickly blocked him.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's all keep quiet. It's fate that we live in the same town, so we should all treat each other with love and care."
Xin, the female cultivator, scoffed and rolled her eyes.
The young man tilted his head to look at her, still smiling, "Sister Xin, we live in the same town again, isn't this fate?"
Xin Xiushi scoffed, "I'm way older than you, you should call me grandma."
To everyone's surprise, the young man readily agreed, saying, "Okay, Grandma Xin."
This left Xin Xiushi speechless.
The young man bowed again to the group of cultivators north of the town, saying, "This young man is Ling Xiao, and I greet all the uncles, elders, and aunts."
Then his gaze fell on Xiao Han, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes, "Greetings, sister. May I ask your surname?"
Although the young man looked young and his cultivation level showed that he was at the True God Realm, Xiao Han did not really think of him as a low-level cultivator like himself.
After all, the other party and Xin Nuxiu were obviously old acquaintances, so they couldn't possibly be a cultivator at the first level of heaven.
She smiled and returned the greeting, "My name is Xiao Han."
The boy looked at Xiao Han with a bright smile and said, "Your name is very nice."
He then addressed everyone present, saying, "Today, I'm hosting a banquet for everyone in town. Would you all be willing to join me?"
Qian Baiwan immediately chuckled and said, "Oh dear, this is going to be too much for you, little brother. Where shall we eat?"
Ling Xiao looked around and pointed to the open space in the center of the town. "How about we do it here?"
Qian Baiwan immediately chimed in, "This is a good spot, let's put it here."
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a white jade table appeared before him, followed by a stool.
Looking at Qian Baiwan sitting at his own table, waiting for the food and drinks to be served, Xiao Han's lips twitched.
The next moment, the crowd that had been watching the commotion earlier took out tables and chairs, set them up, and sat down.
Even Fatty Wang and Old Man Zhou took out tables and chairs and sat down.
Then, the only people still standing in the center of the field were Xiao Han and Ling Xiao.
Xiao Han's storage bracelet didn't contain any separate tables and chairs; all her furniture was stored inside the Linglong Immortal Abode.
Items inside the Linglong Immortal Abode cannot be directly transferred out of the storage bracelet.
Just as she was considering whether to pretend to go back to get the table and chairs, Ling Xiao had already set up a small round table made of fragrant yun wood and a drum stool in an open space.
As soon as the tables and chairs were set out, there was a unique, fresh scent of wood.
"Sister Han, please sit here." He greeted Xiao Han with a beaming smile.
Xiao Han didn't want to refuse someone's kindness, so after thanking them, she sat down at the small round table.
Then, she saw Ling Xiao wave his hand, and four tall plates were placed on the tables in front of everyone.
A plate of meat dish made from some unknown monster, a plate of vegetarian dishes shaped like lotus petals, a plate of pastries, and a plate of peaches.
Then, each person had a wine pot on their table.
Ling Xiao then said with a smile, "There are no wine glasses, so please bring your own."
After saying that, he took out a stool and sat down opposite Xiao Han at the small round table.
Xiao Han's table also had four plates, except that Ling Xiao brought out an extra pot of wine.
He grinned and said to Xiao Han, "Sister Han, you don't mind if I eat with you, do you?"
Xiao Han smiled and said, "These were all brought out by you, so why would I mind?"
Before she could even find a drinking vessel, Ling Xiao had already taken out two short-stemmed cups that looked like both crystal and ultra-thin, clear porcelain, and placed one in front of her.
Immediately, he used the wine pot in front of him to fill a cup of wine for Xiao Han.
"The snacks and fruits are meant to be shared between two people, so I'm sorry to trouble you, Sister Han. You'll have to drink a few more cups of this peach blossom wine, and I'll give you another pot of wine later."
Xiao Han quickly declined, "Fellow Daoist Ling, you're too kind. I can't hold my liquor, this pot is enough for me."
Ling Xiao poured himself a glass of wine, intending to chat with everyone for a bit, but in the short time it took, everyone had already started drinking and eating happily.
He smiled and shook his head, then raised his glass. "Sister Han, come on, let's have a drink together."
As expected of peach blossom wine, the pale pink liquid exudes a sweet peach blossom fragrance in the glass, making you want to taste it just by smelling it.
Xiao Han raised her glass, clinked glasses with it, and then took a sip.
This was the first time she had tasted wine from the divine realm, and the first time she truly understood what celestial nectar meant.
It's a bit like fruit wine, but not the cloyingly sweet kind. It has a strong alcohol flavor, but no spiciness at all.
She couldn't quite describe the taste, only that it was delicious.
The wine was delicious, and with Ling Xiao constantly pouring and urging her to drink, Xiao Han unknowingly drank too much.
Not only did she finish her own pot of wine, but Ling Xiao also poured her several more cups of wine from his own pot.
At this moment, the people in the town, whether they were cultivators from the south or the north, had all become respectful to each other and mingled together.
The pot of peach blossom wine was all drunk up.
Some cultivators who were familiar with Ling Xiao were still shouting, "Young Ling, is there any more wine? Bring me another pot."
Ling Xiao chuckled and said there was nothing more. The cultivator didn't believe him, but there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Han grinned as she watched the lively scene.
She took a peach, put it in her mouth and took a bite. The next moment, the effects of the wine surged up. With a mouthful of peach flesh still in her mouth, she tilted her head and slumped onto the small round table, knocking over the empty wine pot.
Ling Xiao's face showed an expression of "I knew it."
The next moment, he bent down and picked up the drunk Xiao Han, just about to leave, when a hand grabbed his arm.
Xin Nuxiu stared at him with a half-smile, "Boy, where are you taking her?"
