Chapter 106: ”I’m His Old Man!”

A long time after Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou had left, a gust of cold wind blew, sobering Chen Li up to her current situation. She left the place in a haste and when she was running, she passed Liu Mu’s corpse and tripped over it.

Falling face down, tears mixed with soil and sand, dirtying her face and hands. Enduring not cry out as she struggled to get up, she quickly ran off in the same direction Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou left earlier, towards the Yuwai Royal City.

...

Two days later.

Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou stood before the huge city gates, and Fei Hou nearly couldn’t contain the excitement in his heart; he’s back, finally!

The Yuwai Royal City gates were same as before, no big changes at all.

“Let’s go in!” A short moment later, Huang Xiaolong spoke.

Repressing the excitement in his heart, Fei Hou nodded ‘yes’ enthusiastically.

Two figures entered through the city gates.

Passing through the city gates, the two of them strolled along the bustling streets in a relaxed manner, going along with the flow of people. Drinking in the lively atmosphere, Fei Hou was a little emotional. Seven years passed, and the Yuwai Royal City was just as he remembered it,but many of the shops had changed businesses, and some buildings were renovated and these newer additions were somewhat strange to him.

Huang Xiaolong nodded secretly as he observed the prosperous and bustling streets of the Yuwai Royal City. Compared to the Luo Tong Kingdom’s Royal City, the condition here was way better. Moreover, judging from the buildings and infrastructure of the city, they were a level higher than the Luo Tong Royal City.

There were two more days until Fei Hou’s eldest grandson’s wedding day. Since they already arrived in the Royal City, neither of them was in a rush to reach the Fei Manor, taking their own sweet time strolling in the streets.

A couple of hours later, it was already noon. As they passed by a large restaurant, Fei Hou stopped and happily said to Huang Xiaolong: “Young Lord, this Absolutely Luscious Dishes Floor is one of the three best restaurants here. Their specialty, Fiery Wine, is tastier than the Delicious Restaurant’s Snow Moon Wine. Should we go in and have a drink?”

Huang Xiaolong nodded, “Fiery Wine? Very well, let’s go in and taste some.”

Thus, without further ado, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou walked into the Absolutely Luscious Dishes Floor.

Once he entered, Huang Xiaolong saw the lower floor consisted of over a hundred tables and all of them were seated with customers, leaving none open or empty. At this time, a person with the owner’s attire and appearance was hurrying towards Fei Hou, asking eagerly “You are Marquis Fei Hou?”

Fei Hou nodded. “Boss Chen, these past few years that I didn’t come, your business is flourishing nicely ah!”

This middle-aged man happens to be the restaurant’s boss. In the past, Fei Hou patronized the restaurant often for their dishes and Fiery Wine; the two of them can be considered old friends.

“Hehe, Marquis Fei Hou jests. The few years that we haven’t seen each other, yet Your Excellency looks younger than before.” The restaurant boss laughed, “Unlike me, getting older every day.” As he said this, his hand gestured courteously, “Marquis Fei Hou, this way please, to the second floor; I’ll tell the small ones to arrange your table and dishes!”

Fei Hou nodded his head and went up to the first floor with Huang Xiaolong.

The second floor was just as boisterous as the lower floor, and it seemed to have no empty tables available, but the boss had swiftly arranged it for them.

Not long after both of them had sat down, the dishes were sent up.

There were also two jugs of wine – two big jugs of wine served with custom made fiery red cups resembling moving lava.

The fragrant wine teased Huang Xiaolong’s nose as he poured some out into a cup and tilted the entire content into his mouth; a sweet dry tasteflooded his senses as the wine rushed down his throat, turning into a strong, burning sensation that spreads out in an instant as if every blood cell in the body was about to combust, and a feeling of contentment and elation rose in the drinker’s heart.

“Good wine!” Huang Xiaolong praised aloud.

Cups raises endlessly between Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou.

As Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou enjoyed themselves, discussions from tables nearby passed into their ears.

“Did you hear, the King personally conferred Yang An the title of Marquis!”

“Tsk tsk, that Yang An is only twenty-one years old, and he’s already a Marquis. This is a first for our Yuwai Kingdom; in my opinion, in another few years that Yangan will probably be conferred the title of a Duke!”
