Xin Yuniang smiled and said, “You two are honoured guests of Master Hu. Passing by Jiyue Mountain today, how can this concubine not entertain you?
This concubine has a villa at the foot of the mountain. Some tea, snacks, and fruits have already been prepared, and clean beds have been arranged. I hope you two do not worry.”
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan exchanged a glance.
This Xin Yuniang, on that day True Person Qingyang also commented a couple of sentences at the banquet. Roughly that she has no hope for longevity, indulges in enjoyment, words showing not much regard, but also said she is cautious and prudent, never offends various great powers, so she lives quite freely and happily.
Since that is the case, Xin Yuniang’s invitation is probably purely to build some relations.
Jiyue Mountain is just north of Dingfeng Mountain. Since Xin Yuniang is cautious and prudent, she naturally would not dare to play tricks under Hu Yijun’s nose.
Lu Zheng nodded and said, “Since that is so, then we will impose for one night.”
Seeing Lu Zheng nod, Xin Yuniang’s brows and eyes curved, full of smiles. With light lotus steps, she came to Liu Qingyan’s side.
“Miss Liu is gentle and serene, with peerless beauty and grace, accompanied by such an outstanding person as Young Master Lu. This concubine truly envies you.” Xin Yuniang did not get too close to them, just half a step ahead.
“On that day upon seeing Miss Liu, this concubine was attracted to the miss, one could say love at first sight. I long wanted to chat with the miss, but really did not dare to go to the front table to interrupt.”
“Master Xin…”
“Miss must not call this concubine mountain master or not. If you think highly of this concubine, just call me Yuniang.”
“Where, Miss Xin is the master of a mountain, unrestrained and free. Qingyan has low cultivation, dare not call so, just call miss then.”
“Good, good, good!”
Actually, Xin Yuniang wanted to address each other as sisters with Liu Qingyan. But the two have only met for the second time, not love at first sight, how could the relationship progress so fast?
However, Xin Yuniang is indeed good at socialising. The three chatted along the way. In just half a day, she主动 revealed many details, also drawing closer the relationship between the three.
“There is this concubine’s villa.”
The few walked out of a forest. Xin Yuniang pointed ahead and said.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan looked, and saw not far away on a sunny small hillside, sat a villa with red tiles and white walls.
Outside the villa is a grassland, with a small stream flowing in front, surrounding trees arranged orderly, obviously planted by people, not natural.
“You two please!”
Lu Zheng and the two followed Xin Yuniang to the villa entrance, and saw two maidservants waiting at the main gate. Seeing the three, they hurriedly curtsied, “Greetings to the master! Greetings to the two immortal masters!”
Lu Zheng blinked, looking at these two maidservants with bright eyes and white teeth, innocent expressions, clearly fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girls.
“Eh?”
Isn’t it said that this fox spirit’s cave mansion is full of her male favourites?
Perhaps seeing Lu Zheng’s doubt, Xin Yuniang smiled and said, “This villa is where this concubine entertains guests. The handsome men under me are unsightly. Only when like-minded friends visit will I bring them out to meet guests. Young Master Lu and Miss Liu are refined people, this concubine would not let them display their skills.”
But with a pause in her words, Xin Yuniang then said, “There is only one Luo Sheng, who came from outside the mountain. Previously his family had poetry and books passed down. Polite in speech, deeply loved by me. I think he can converse with Young Master Lu, so as not to bore the young master.”
The next moment, perhaps hearing Xin Yuniang’s words, a handsome man walked out from the villa’s main hall.
From afar, he arched his hands, “Yuniang is back. Greetings to this young master, greetings to this miss. This humble one Luo Tao salutes!”
Lu Zheng raised his brow tip, only then discovering this Luo Tao has faint mana fluctuations on him, and full of yang qi.
Xin Yuniang smiled and said, “Taught him some shallow qi refining methods. Unexpectedly, his aptitude is acceptable, cultivated some achievements. In bed… in the long run, he can accompany me longer.”
“Hehe…”
Lu Zheng nodded, but did not look down on Luo Tao.
After all, fancied by a great demon, he a mortal, could he still resist?
Moreover, do you really think Xin Yuniang is just disorderly in private life, defy her, and she won’t kill?
Compared to the Goddess Sect that absorbs people’s yang qi, this fox spirit is already very gentle.
Hm?
Encountered a fox spirit that doesn’t absorb yang qi, met a favourite and even introduced to the dao path. This one perhaps is also a destined protagonist?
You know, the last destined protagonist Lu Zheng met was Zhu Yushan. Just cultivated not long, and could contribute in facing the Duyushan tiger demon on the battlefield.
If this one is also, can I shear some wool from him?
Watching Luo Tao gentle and refined, steps composed, coming forward with a warm and enthusiastic smile on his face. Coming to the side of the few, lightly bowed, extended hand in virtual invitation, “Tao has prepared some small dishes in the villa. Everyone please!”
Xin Yuniang upon hearing smiled and said, “Luo Tao had hardships in early years, still has some culinary skills. Though not comparable to Central Plains great chefs, but has some characteristics.”
“Oh? Then I must taste well.” Lu Zheng politely smiled.
“Heard the young master comes from the Central Plains. This one is just from a small place. If not to taste, please young master speak directly.” Luo Tao said.
“Where, each place has its flavours. Where is the reason to say the delicacy is bad just because not suiting one’s taste?”
The few entered the hall. Lu Zheng then discovered there are two more little maidservants in the hall.
Wearing pleated blue colourful clothes, black cloth thousand-layer boots on feet, combed in facing moon single bun, with some bell bracelets. Though no peerless beauty, but also delicate.
The two maidservants following Xin Yuniang hurriedly came forward, to a round table in the living room. Together with the two originally in the living room, pulled out the round chairs by the table, respectfully invited Xin Yuniang and Lu Zheng etc. four people to sit.
“All are mountain goods and wild flavours, incomparable to the delicacies of Great Jing lands.”
Luo Tao picked up the copper pot on the table, filled for the four one by one, “This is hundred fruit wine brewed by village mountain folks with seasonal wild fruits. Three steams three brews. Though not strong and sweet, but clear and sweet.”
“Please!”
Lu Zheng took the wine cup, deeply inhaled, then fingertip lightly trembled, a strand of true qi quietly probed in.
The four reached out to raise cups, remotely toasted, then drank in one go.
“This is mountain rabbit meat, this is brocade chicken meat, this is steamed deer meat, and a portion of stir-fried wild vegetables.” Luo Tao introduced.
Lu Zheng tasted, could not help but eyes brighten.
Xin Yuniang saw their expressions, could not help cover mouth lightly laugh, “Can it enter the mouth?”
Liu Qingyan nodded, “Very delicious, only feel appetite greatly opened, appetite stimulated.”
Lu Zheng also nodded, but in heart slightly strange.
Feel this dish’s flavour has no special points, but just feel after eating, appetite greatly stimulated, ate and still want to eat.
However…
Lu Zheng just probed with true qi, also no discovery.
Could it be some kind of seasoning similar to that modern stuff?
