279 Reduced to Ashes (1/2)
Yun Yang’s eyes were wide open.
Ten bottles!
A single bottle would be sufficient to set off a reign of terror in the martial arts world!
Even strong figures like Ling Xiaozui and Mr. Nian would be tempted by it!
However, the amount that Yun Zuiyue had was sufficient to conduct a wholesale business.
Yun Yang’s mouth twitched. He could hardly withhold the shock within him. HIs perspective of the world which was completely subverted was utterly relieved now as he raised his goblet and uttered, ”Sister Yue, Sister Xue, cheers!”
”Cheers!”
The three of them toasted and emptied their goblets.
Yun Zuiyue began to fill Yun Yang's goblet again, holding the wine bottle.
”Come, young brother, try this.”
”Young brother, try this too.”
The two beauties served Yun Yang the dishes. It was not long before the numerous delicacies were piled up before him. These dishes, made from the essence of the superior mystical beasts that even people of Ling Xiaozui's standard could hardly see, were piled up so high that they almost hit Yun Yang's nose tip.
”You two have it as well. Don’t just keep on serving them to me.” Yun Yang laughed helplessly.
”Sure, let’s eat together.”
The three of them ate while talking.
Yun Zuiyue shared all her past experiences, things from when she could start remembering since a child to her current affairs. Qing Shanxue, on the other hand, began to talk about her own musical experiences.
Yun Yang spoke about strange news and odd occurrences, causing the two ladies to laugh from time to time.
In short, the atmosphere was harmonious.
Yun Yang could clearly feel that his capability had increased, following every mouthful of dishes he ate.
Such feeling of enhancement was long lasting and endless, like the boundless ocean!
”Ayaya...”
Within his subconscious space, Emmie was beyond amazed.
A mere dance would not have been able to express its joy. It was waving about in a wild dance, overwhelmed and jubilant to the point that it could not even recognize who it was!
Such a great force had simply been eaten by Yun Yang, flowing to his stomach. Of course, Emmie would secretly absorb some of it.
It could hardly help itself.
There was simply too much temptation!
Emmie had secretly absorbed a little at a time, afraid to be found out by Yun Yang. When the medicinal power that entered Yun Yang's body got stronger, Emmie started to fully absorb them, heedless of the consequences.
Awesome!
Scrumptious!
Too contented!
Even if Yun Yang were to punish and chastise it, it was going to eat until its heart's content!
Anyway, it was uncertain when Yun Yang would be able to digest them all. it was only right that it helped him in the digestion with full effort.
However, no matter how hard Emmie had sucked everything in, like an inhaling whale, waves of power entered the deific consciousness space endlessly. They were difficult to be reduced no matter how much was consumed. What was more, not only did the energy within Yun Yang stop reducing, it had gradually increased, following the incoming food and good wine into his stomach. The potential benefit had grown larger and larger!
Yun Yang did not care about whether the food would be wasted at all. This was because he was certain that all the spiritual power provided by the food today would be thoroughly integrated with the peculiar great wine and turn into a kept force of his own!
To one’s surprise, this wine was actually the ultimate catalyst and fusing agent.
All of the spiritual power were all being transformed into the purest and most basic energy of the dantian, vitality, and force!
Initially Yun Yang was still worried about whether he would become a human nutrition pack after the meal, a snack coveted by everyone, with all the creatures rushing over to bite a few mouthfuls of his own flesh. After all, the spiritual Qi previously had turned Yun Yang into a gem, not unlike the holy medicine. The traces of it could not be covered at all, once he had walked out, every living creatures would fight over him like a pack of wolves at the sight of meat.
However, after having several goblets of wine, all the medicinal power had turned neutral and accumulated as Yun Yang’s stored capability. The previous air that would tempt people into frenzy was completely eliminated.
Yun Yang now had reverted to the normal youth that was no different from before the meal.
Well, of course, still a very handsome looking and elegant youth!
At the moment, Yun Yang had already drank six goblets of wine. Upon seeing Yun Zuiyue holding up the wine bottle to pour out more wine for himself, he could not help but to laugh wryly, ”Sister Yue, you are good in asking people to drink. It seems like you are the one who wants me to get drunk!”
Yun Zuiyue sweetly said, ”How can it be? For today’s wine, I would not have allowed it even if you want to have more. You can only have nine goblets!”
Nine goblets!
Yun Yang was startled.
The number nine had triggered Yun Yang’s sensitive nerves.
The originally harmonious atmosphere had suddenly turned solemn.
A gleam of regret flashed through the clear eyes of Yun Zuiyue. Hurriedly she tried to laugh it off, ”Come, young brother. Have more dishes. It will be such a waste if all the dishes can’t be finished today.”
Yun Yang beamed wryly.
If that was so, ‘wasteful’ could hardly describe it.
Even ‘tyrannical waste’ would not be able to describe such an action. To do so would be insanity, to the point that it caused people to shiver!
”Sister Yue, where did you get all these great ingredients?” asked Yun Yang, who could no longer hold in his doubts.
”These ingredients ...”
Yun Zuiyue smiled and said, ”There was a strange old man who left three boxes here and died after that. It was a coincidence that I discovered these items in those boxes when I cleaned up my items after dismissing the subordinates…They came on time for me to treat you in today’s feast. Is it not common to leave great items for family to enjoy, young brother?”
Was that so?
Well, everything you say is right.
Yun Yang did not believe a single word of Yun Zuiyue’s speech.
How could there be such a thing?
An old man came here to leave three boxes and died?
For someone who could possess three boxes of such items, even if the old man was being slaughtered into pieces, so long as he could still eat, he would be able to survive and live a long life!
Also, the tone and speed of language were extremely fluent when Yun Zuiyue said this, seemingly without any consideration. It was apparent that she had long been ready for Yun Yang to ask her this.
This was even growing even stranger.
Yun Yang could not figure it out, even if he had broken his mind.
”Yun Yang ... brother.”
Yun Zuiyue staring tentatively at Yun Yang, her eyes were filled with unconcealed sympathy and affection. Raising her goblet she uttered, ”Brother, you ... have been having a hard time... Let sister-in-law propose a toast to you.”
Having a hard time?
Yun Yang was stunned upon hearing this.
Somehow, a heart-wrenching feeling rose within him upon hearing these words.
Having a hard time…
Yun Yang suddenly thought of his eight brothers. Took a deep breath, he beamed and uttered, ”Thank you, sister-in-law. Bottoms up!”
Without a second word, he raised his goblet and emptied its contents.
Yun Zuiyue slowly drank the wine inside her goblet, and then quickly filled up another goblet for Yun Yang. Hers, however, were only filled at the bottom of the glass. She hesitated for a long time and slowly uttered, ”Brother ... in the future...”
She stopped. With a strange expression, she lingered for a while and said, ”... you'll be alone faced with so many enemies from all over the world... you ... you must take care of yourself in the future.”
Yun Yang sighed with emotion, ”For the peace of the heart and the presence of justice, it doesn't matter even when there are enemies everywhere. So what if the world is my enemy?”
His eyes were calm and serene, determinedly resolute.
Facing Yun Yang's resolute gaze, Yun Zuiyue felt an ache in her heart,
How could she not know what Yun Yang was thinking?
Revenge for the brothers!
No matter how bitter...
No matter how tiring...
No matter how awful...
No matter how painful...
No matter how difficult...
No matter how painstaking...
I, Yun Yang, was willing and happy!
There was no one to accompany me on this route, yet I ... would go on forever! Until the day when the vengeance has been settled or the day when I can no longer continue!
”Young brother Yun, I am extremely grateful for your care and protection all this while.” While beaming, Yun Zuiyue raised her goblet and said,”Sister-in-law hereby toasts you! ”
”Please don’t say so!” Yun Yang said profoundly, ”Fifth brother's family, is my family! We are one family!”
He smiled faintly and said, ”I am afraid that I did not manage to take care of you properly ...”
Yun Zuiyue could not help but feel an ache in her heart. She took a deep breath.
Young brother... He has been bearing too much responsibility.
Her eyes reddened and there was a pinch on her nose. She almost fell into tears. She immediately held the tears back, raising her goblet with Yun Yang. She smiled and had it finished.
”Be sure to take care of yourself ... ” murmured Yun Zuiyue.
…
After eating a few mouthful of dishes, both Yun Zuiyue and Qing Shanxue held their stomachs. They were full, unable to eat anymore.
Apparently, a few mouthfuls of the dishes had been the two’s limit. If not for the suppression of the odd wine, both of them would have had turned into a human nutrition pack, just like Yun Yang. What was more, they would become the most gorgeous of beauty nutrition packs!
Yun Zuiyue kept urging Yun Yang to finish off the dishes on the table.
Although the eighteen dishes were delicate and their amounts were extremely minimal, having to savor them all had caused Yun Yang's belly to bloat. After all, Yun Yang's legendary large appetite had been a thing of the past. Even if his enormous appetite were to remain, it was easy to fill up that large appetite by casually eating a mouthful of today’s delicacies. What had happened in the past was different for now, only change was constant!
