30 Reverent Awe. Beyond Comprehension (1/2)

The wine and dishes were served.

Young Master Dong Tianleng then began the meal that would leave the biggest impression in his life.

“Are you able to consume so much? In a single sitting?” Dong Tianleng was shocked, his face a look of terror as he pointed to the big pile of mystical beast meat in front of Yun Yang.

“I’ve reduced my appetite by half now,” Yun Yang replied pleasantly. It was true. He had eaten about fifty to sixty catties in the previous days; he estimated that he would be full tonight with just twenty catties. This was terribly good news for him.

Judging by this, he assumed that Emmie, too, should be about done with her energy absorption. It seemed that there was still hope for the day that he would return to normal.

How he longed for the days where he could be full from seven or eight meat patties!

“Reduced by half…” Young Master Dong Tianleng repeated in a voice that held a hysterical edge. His jaw was in danger of dropping off as well.

He was eating some twenty catties of meat per meal, together with other food and wine… and this was an appetite reduced by half!

“This is nothing.” Yun Yang said nonchalantly, “Previously, my appetite had even scared myself!”

“You’re indeed the idol of popinjays!” Dong Tianleng was impressed beyond his wildest expectations.

Look at him! Consuming mystical meat for every meal!

I’m a young master from one of the f*cking influential eight families but even I wasn’t treated this well. Spending ten thousand of silver taels for a meal he’s having all by himself… That’s some character we have right here!

This is extravagant indeed!

“Since you’re here, why not drink without restraint! Come, come!”

Clink!

Yun Yang placed a large wine jar in front of Dong Tianleng; the latter’s eyes bulged in shock again.

This jar has got to be at least fifteen catties!

God, do all of you drunkards at Tiantang City drink like a fish?

Yun Yang then brought over another jar and waved invitingly at the two guards. The guards shook their heads to politely decline the kind offer; they had duties to carry out – such as ensuring their young master’s safety! They had no assurances they could do so if they started to imbibe recklessly. They might even stick a sword in their own young master and not know it at all if they ended up roaring drunk!

“I’ll just go ahead then.” Yun Yang opened the clay seal with one palm and lifted the wine jar to his lips.

Under the amazed stare of Dong Tianleng, he gulped the liquid down; within a breath, half the jar was gone!

“Wonderful!” Yun Yang put down the wine jar and spoke, “Drink up, what are you doing just staring at me?”

Dong Tianleng’s eyes continued to bulge as his jaw hung open, “Idol, do you all drink like that?”

Yun Yang rolled his eyes and said, “I do not know about other people but I’ve been drinking like this for a year.”

“My lord!”

Dong Tianleng’s lips were trembling and his eyes actually teared up as he held Yun Yang’s hands, forgetting himself in his reverence. “From now on, you are my lord! You are my blood brother! You are simply astonishing! So flamboyant, even if it’s just drinking wine... nobody in the past nor future could hope to surpass it! You must teach me…”

Yun Yang looked at the fellow speechlessly.

Whether it be eating or drinking, do you really think I wish it to be this way? Flamboyant? Flam my ass flambo- …

He was sorely tempted to drop his chopsticks and stop eating, feeling oddly dispirited.

It was then that Young Master Dong Tianleng cried out and lifted the wine jar in an attempt to emulate Yun Yang’s manly gulping.

“Young master, don’t…” Just as the guards spoke, Dong Tianleng was already choking on the fiery liquid, “Cough! Such a lowly popinjay like myself really can’t hope to be as flamboyant as you are… gah!”

“Your Lion Dog is not all that bad.” Yun Yang changed the topic, looking at the two-headed lion that was sitting obediently beside the dining table and continued to shower praise. “It’s two-headed as well, and obedient to boot. Marvelous!”

“This is a Double-headed Elysian Lion…” Dong Tianleng glowed warmly as he spoke, “It is an eighth level mystical beast…”

“Uh-huh.” Yun Yang pulled a bone that he had sucked clean out of his mouth and threw it to the supposed ‘Double-headed Elysian Lion’, saying, “You eat bones?”

“It doesn’t eat bones…” The corners of Dong Tianleng’s lips twitched. My lord, it’s a Double-headed Elysian Lion; at home, it eats only the best. Even if it eats meat, it eats a complete piece of mystical meat, and would never stoop to eating something half-eaten by others… eh?

Dong Tianleng stared wide-eyed, looking at the Double-headed Elysian Lion that was chewing on the bone and happily wagging its tail beside the table. His eyeballs were in danger of popping clean out of his head.

You must f*cking pulling my leg.

“Doesn’t eat bones?” Yun Yang looked at Dong Tianleng like he was looking at an idiot. “What do you suppose it’s doing now?”

Dong Tianleng felt like digging a hole and burying himself in it. Looking at his Double-headed Elysian Lion that was chewing the bone with extreme contentment, great Young Master Dong Tianleng felt like his face had been soundly slapped.

Each crunch it took was two loud smacks across his face.

Why the f*ck won’t it save your father some dignity?

Thinking of this, Young Master Dong Tianleng had a sudden realization, “Odd, this isn’t right, why didn’t I address myself as your father when I’m with this fellow?”
