1918 Drinking Tea (1/2)

Shen Bijun and Xiang Kui were only responsible for greeting Zhang Tie. It was the treatment that Zhang Tie, as the incumbent Dragon Emperor and the No. 1 hero among humans in Motian Realm, should enjoy.

When he found that the two people didn't intend to enter the palace in front with him, Zhang Tie realized that Emperor NvWa must want to have a talk with him alone. Therefore, he stepped onto the stairs and walked to the gate of the palace leisurely.

The two fire-level immortal generals who served as guards at the gate just pushed open the gate silently and allowed Zhang Tie to walk in.

The moment Zhang Tie entered it, he had become temporarily stunned. He felt like coming to another world. While being brilliant and magnificent from the outside, its inside was like another world. There was a beautiful garden inside the palace. Birds were chirping everywhere. The entire palace was filled with the fragrance of flowers with brilliant spring sunlight. The moment Zhang Tie entered the palace, he had seen some colorful butterflies flying round and round beside him. Some birds were chirping on those huge trees beside him.

Due to the sharp difference, Zhang Tie almost felt like entering the palace tree of Castle of Black Iron from the wild.

Cyan slabs extended to the deep place of the garden. Zhang Tie wanted to look inside with his lotus-flower eyes. However, after triggering his lotus-flower eyes, he found his lotus-flower eyes suddenly lost their effect here. The entire palace appeared to be filled with a mysterious space strength, which prevented him from peeping it with lotus-flower eyes. It felt like that he couldn't see through others' space-teleportation finger rings with his lotus-flower eyes.

'Is this palace a bizarre space-teleportation item?'

Although being a bit amazed, as he had Castle of Black Iron and seen too many odd similar rarities, Zhang Tie still stayed calm as he walked towards the deep place of the garden leisurely.

Autumn was going to come outside the palace; however, it was spring scenery in April inside the palace. Songs and flute tones could be heard everywhere among the flowers.

As he walked along the winding path, he saw a pavilion in a patch of apricot woods with fiery flowers. A woman in a snow-white skirt and black, smooth hair was sitting in the pavilion on her feet. She was fiddling with a small stove, boiling water and preparing a tea set...

When he caught sight of that maiden, Zhang Tie felt familiar with her although she didn't raise her head. As he gradually approached her, he saw the maiden raising her head and looking at him.

When the maiden raised her head, she dwarfed all the flowers in the garden at once.

That was a superbly beautiful face that could enable all the flowers to envy and cause all the men and women to fall in fascination.

'Tang Mei!'

'It's Tang Mei!'

Previously, Tang Mei was as beautiful as a fairy maiden. With delicate make-up, she even caused Zhang Tie to hold his breath slightly at this moment.

Zhang Tie was stunned as he came to a stop at once. Although he had already known that Tang Mei had returned to Emperor NvWa's Palace after leaving Tigerback Mountain, he didn't imagine that he could meet her here. What a coincidence!

”Ah, it's you?”

”Brother Jin, you called me Xiaomei in Tigerback Mountain. Only after a few years, you've become Your Majesty Dragon Emperor and shocked the entire Motian Realm with power. However, when you saw me again, you even don't feel like calling my name.” Tang Mei instantly lowered her enthralling face. Following after, she heaved a sigh slightly with a plaintive expression. Watching her response, Zhang Tie felt pitiful of her.

When he saw Tang Mei at the beginning, he didn't look like this. After hearing that Tang Mei called him Brother Jin, Zhang Tie thought that Bian Heng had told Tang Mei all of his secrets.

Zhang Tie instantly felt a bit embarrassed. Her plaintive look made Zhang Tie feel guilty. He directly walked over there as he greeted, ”Ahem... ahem... Xiaomei, why are you here?”

Zhang Tie said as he looked around. However, he could see nobody in the vicinity except apricot blossoms. ”Does Emperor NvWa want to play any trick through Tang Mei after knowing that I got acquainted with her?” Zhang Tie mumbled inside as he stayed alert at any time.

”Of course, I'm here to wait for you, Brother Jin. Am I still Brother Jin's Xiaomei?” Tang Mei raised her face as she watched Zhang Tie with great expectation. At this moment, she was far from being plaintive; instead, she revealed a bit sly smile elegantly.

”Erm, of course, you're...” Zhang Tie didn't ask her about the whereabouts of Emperor NvWa when he found Emperor NvWa was not here. He just sat down opposite to Tang Mei and watched her seriously with the attitude ”since I am already here in this situation, just take it easy”. Perhaps because of her cancer, Tang Mei always looked a bit frail before. However, after being cured, she gave out brilliance all over just like morning glow. She was vibrant and healthy. Additionally, besides her health, given Zhang Tie's sensitive perception about women, he could even feel that Tang Mei's temperament had experienced subtle changes. She appeared to be a bit sly and profound. As a result, even Zhang Tie couldn't see through her.

”Brother Jin, do you like me to call you Brother Jin or Your Majesty Dragon Emperor?”

”Haha, I've told you that was not my original look at that time. Of course, that name is not my real name either. As we're frank and honest with each other now, my real name is Zhang Tie, But Xiaomei, you'd better not call me Your Majesty Dragon Emperor. As I'm a bit elder than you, just call me brother!” Zhang Tie said straightforwardly.

”Fine, I will call you brother then!” Tang Mei giggled pleasantly. Then, she elegantly made a cup of hot tea for Zhang Tie after finishing a set of procedures as she said, ”Brother, please have a taste.”

Even though Zhang Tie had no knowledge in this, he knew that the tea that Tang Mei made for him was absolutely not average. When the tea leaves were rolling in the cup of water, the mist that rose out of the cup formed a wash painting of a myriad of mountains, billows, clouds, sun and moon above the cup. Zhang Tie had not even heard about such a kind of tea, not to mention see it.

After seeing Tang Mei's eye hint, Zhang Tie picked his cup and had a mouthful of tea. Closely after that, he widened his eyes and revealed an unbelievable look.

Only after a small mouthful of tea water, Zhang Tie had felt a wisp of indescribable energy and Reiki spreading over his body through his throat, arousing resonance between his battle qi and the essential spiritual energy in his mind. At his chest, he felt as light as mixing water with milk as he almost floated in the air. Only with one mouthful of tea, he had almost been fascinated by it.

Zhang Tie had eaten various fruits. Many fruits tasted special and indescribable. However, after having a mouthful of tea, Zhang Tie felt that none of the fruits that he had eaten could match this tea water.
