Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Gathering (2/2)

Meanwhile, the Black Kite stared intently at the slowly eating Huang Qingling, fidgeting restlessly.

“What’s the matter, you want to eat too?” Huang Qingling turned her head and asked.

The Black Kite nodded repeatedly.

Clearly, it understood Huang Qingling’s words.

“But the dish was made by Lin Jing, so we definitely have to ask him. You were so fierce to him before, what if you apologized to him?”

Both Lin Jing and Elder Yu were curious, watching the effortless communication between the person and the eagle.

However, the Black Kite didn’t seem convinced and glared at Lin Jing before turning its back on him.

Still, it kept glancing back at the table laden with delicacies, especially at the roasted chicken in the middle that was exuding a delicious fragrance. Lin Jing couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward as he touched his nose.

“Let it eat,” Elder Yu finally spoke, breaking the tension.

“Alright, Elder Yu…” Huang Qingling said cheerily.

She then picked up the roasted chicken from the table and tore off a large piece.

“Little Sparrow, come…”

Ignoring the Black Kite’s feelings, Huang Qingling took a large piece of meat and stuffed it into the Black Kite’s mouth, causing it to flap its wings constantly and roll its eyes until it finally caught its breath after a long while.

Seeing this, Lin Jing couldn’t help but smirk.

“Elder Yu…”

Then, Lin Jing brought out the Qinghua Drunk he had prepared earlier.

Elder Yu chuckled with laughter.

“Ha ha… you really know me. How can there be no wine at the dinner table?”

Lin Jing opened the wine pot, and the aroma of the wine filled the air. Elder Yu took a deep breath and said with emotion:

“Fragrant…”

“Really fragrant…”

Lin Jing poured a cup for Elder Yu and himself. Just then, Huang Qingling decided she didn’t want to be left out.

“I want some, too…”

“Elder Yu, you’ve been sneaking drinks from me. I’ve seen it all.” “With Old Man Bai not here, I want to have a taste as well.”

“Elder Yu…?” Lin Jing looked at Elder Yu, seeking his opinion.

“Since Qing Ling wants to drink, let her have a cup to taste,” Elder Yu nodded.

“Alright..

After saying that, Lin Jing took out a cup and poured one for Huang Qingling as well.

“Here’s to you, Elder Yu…”

“I’d like to toast to you, for taking care of me all this time.”

Saying this, Lin Jing raised his cup towards Elder Yu, then drained it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Huang Qingling also took her cup and mimicked Lin Jing, about to pour it into her mouth.

Shortly after…

“Cough… cough cough..

‘What is this? It doesn’t taste good at all.”

Huang Qingling scrunched up her face and spat the wine out of her mouth.

“Hiss… ha…”

“Why is it even a bit spicy…”

Huang Qingling quickly took a few bites of food to suppress the spicy sensation in her mouth.

“Ha ha ha…” Elder Yu burst out laughing. “Now you know why I didn’t let you drink…’

“Elder Yu, is this what you drink all the time…?”

“Yes, what do you think? Want to drink more?” asked Elder Yu with a nod.

“I’d rather not, I’m never drinking this again…” Huang Qingling shook her head like a rattle drum.

At that moment, the Black Kite had already finished the large piece of meat and looked at Huang Qingling with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the cup that still had half a cup of wine left.

Then, it hopped off Huang Qingling’s shoulder, bent down, and started to sip from the cup.

But soon…

The Black Kite fluttered its wings and flew out the door, going straight to the fishpond to plunge its head into the water.

Then, it glared at Lin Jing angrily.

Lin Jing felt quite innocent; after all, he poured the wine but the eagle drank it on its own initiative—he hadn’t done anything.

Next, the Black Kite transformed into a streak of black light and shot out….
