My timeless tavern

Chapter 369 Kissing
As a member of the ancient Ji family, Ji Haoyue has always been proud of himself.

Looking across the Eastern Wilds, there are very few people who catch his eye.

He even went so far as to boast that he was the only one who possessed the potential to become an emperor.

At first, he didn't look down on Ye Fan, a young man who came from a wild land and had no prominent background.

When he learned that this guy had quietly hooked up with his sister, his first reaction was that this guy was just trying to live off her.

Is the Ji family's free food so delicious?

So when they met for the first time, he wanted to give the other party a warning, but was stopped by his sister.

When he heard his sister say that the other party was suspected of having an affair with a demon woman, he became even more furious.

Even though he knew that the magical spaceship was a gift to his sister, he didn't take it too seriously.

The spaceship is good, but its only advantage is that it flies fast. It is very fragile and can be smashed to pieces with one punch.

In his opinion, something that could not enhance one's strength was just a low-end toy.

It was not until this moment that he realized how wrong he was.

This guy is not a bumpkin from some barbaric land, he is clearly a fierce dragon from across the river!

The opponent's punch almost shattered his spiritual heart!

At this moment, while chatting with a few people, he realized something was wrong.

"Brother Xiaoyao, where exactly is the Shushan you mentioned?" he wondered.

The Sword Saint and Drunken Sword Master mentioned by the other party sounded like extraordinary figures, but he had never heard of them before.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at Ye Fan and said, "It's not this place or this world. You will know it in the future."

Seeing Ji Haoyue looking at him, Xiao Yan also shook his head and said: "The Great Thousand World is also not any world you know."

Ji Haoyue seemed to understand but not quite.

He found that the others didn't want to talk much, so he didn't ask too many questions, but he still felt that it was an eye-opener.

"This Shushan might be some hidden holy place. I have to find out more about it when I get back."

"Strange fire... Could it be the same fire he released earlier? It looks amazing. If this thing is used to refine weapons, it must be very powerful. I will ask the elders in the clan when I go back."

Ji Haoyue remained calm on the surface, but all kinds of thoughts were running through his mind.

When he suddenly heard another sentence from Xiao Yan, he was shocked again.

"Seal? Ruthless person?" he said in astonishment.

"That's right," Ye Fan nodded and explained calmly, "The ruthless emperor was worried that my foundation was unstable, so he sealed my strength."

Thinking of the punch that shattered his own copy of the Void Mirror, Ji Haoyue felt his throat become very dry and asked, "What was your strength before you were sealed?"

"Of course it's the emperor of your world." Xiao Yan looked at him with a smile.

Ji Haoyue's hands trembled and the wine in the glass almost fell out.

Great Emperor!

really!

He thought again of the "your world" that Xiao Yan had mentioned, and became more certain of his earlier guess.

These people are definitely not from their world.

The only thing that can correspond to it is the legendary fairyland!

This Ye Fan must be the reincarnation of an immortal!
Ji Haoyue's eyes became burning.

When Ji Ziyue saw her brother again, she found that her brother, who had previously shouted at Ye Fan to kill him, was now treating him affectionately and calling him brother.

Even though she no longer planned to cause trouble for Qin Yao with the mediation of Xun'er and the other person, she was still quite depressed by her brother's appearance.

Xun'er's method of reconciliation is actually very simple.

She avoided Qin Yao and told the story she heard in the tavern.

One is a giant who rose from obscurity, broke the curse of the holy body, and became an unprecedented figure.

One is a partner who will stick with you through life and death and remain loyal to you until death.

Another one got to know him from humble beginnings and tried hard to follow in his footsteps, but died young due to his limited talent, which became an irreparable regret in his heart.

Ji Ziyue naturally understood.

The first person is obviously Ye Fan. She has long seen this guy’s talent.

Ye Fan had never concealed his ancient holy body from her.

As for the other two, they were obviously talking about her and Qin Yao.

"It turns out she's a poor ghost, so forgive her."

"I need to have the tolerance of a sister!"

She glared at her brother, then looked at Ye Fan who was grinning at her, snorted heavily, and planned to settle the score with him later.

Nothing is a reason for him to lie.

I must bite him hard!
……

Although the extraordinary is not obvious on Earth, Ji Ziyue is quite interested in this special mortal civilization.

After learning that Ye Fan grew up in this world and his parents were still here, she was happy to play for a while longer.

Although Ji Haoyue was wondering why those people were unwilling to leave, he was also very happy to be able to communicate more with such powerful people.

……

In the tavern.

Nezha stood with his hands behind his back, looking curiously at the two Li Bais drinking with Li Yunlong.

The wine the three drank was brought by the sword immortal Li Bai. It was fermented from a spiritual fruit from the Heluo land. It had a sweet aftertaste and could enhance martial arts skills after drinking it.

This was what he got from the empress the day before.

The empress was extremely gentle towards him. She held his hand and told him that excessive drinking was harmful to the body and asked him to take care of his health.

Li Bai seemed to appreciate the gesture, but he was secretly on guard in his heart, suspecting that the other party was planning to take over the core of the Ark.

Another Li Bai recently gained insights into martial arts while facing the surging waves. He wrote several poems, but his martial arts skills did not improve at all. It was a good opportunity for him to come to the tavern to find some inspiration.

Li Yunlong couldn't move when he smelled the wine.

The three of them hit it off immediately...

No, it should be four people.

The drunken little Spider Peter had gone back to sleep a long time ago.

Hearing the three men shouting drinking games and pouring cup after cup of wine into their mouths generously, Nezha licked his lips, feeling a little greedy.

It's not that he likes wine, but he likes this kind of atmosphere.

But his parents were watching him and he had no chance to join in.

Although the guests in the pub were nice to him, they all treated him like a child.

It seemed that in their eyes, I was not as mature as the Puss in Boots.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a figure appear in the tavern.

When he saw that person, Nezha's eyes lit up and he excitedly went up to her and said, "Sister Xiaolin."

After saying this, he tilted his head and looked at the man next to Lin Daiyu.

When the man saw Nezha suddenly flying in front of him, he was so scared that he staggered and almost fell.

Nezha looked away with disdain, thinking how come this guy was just like the people of Chentang Pass before, so silly and cowardly.

When he looked at Lin Daiyu, a smile appeared on his face.

He had a good impression of this young lady who was only a few years older than him and looked delicate and frail.

Only in front of the other person did he feel like he was no longer a child.

Especially the last time he transformed in front of Lin Daiyu, the other party's shocked expression made Nezha very proud.

Sometimes he wanted to call the other person Lin Daiyu like everyone else.

When Lin Daiyu saw Nezha in front of her, she smiled gently, handed over the box in her hand and said, "Nezha, I brought you some cakes." She didn't have anything special to show off, but the cakes in Yangzhou city happened to be quite good, so she prepared a lot of them and put them in her ring.

Nezha quickly took it, opened the box, took out an osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded and praised: "Not bad, it tastes better than what my mother made."

When Mrs. Yin heard this, the smile on her face froze.

She realized that many people were looking at her, and she was so embarrassed that she gnashed her teeth and said to Li Jing, "Look at your good son!"

Li Jing laughed dryly: "Why are you arguing with him? This kid is still not satisfied. I can't even eat what I want!"

Madam Yin raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, Madam, you accompanied me into battle to kill monsters. Thank you for your hard work." Li Jing hurriedly changed his words.

Many people couldn't help laughing.

Lin Daiyu reached out and touched Nezha's head with a smile on her face.

Everyone in the tavern called her Lin Daiyu, but Nezha was the only one who called her sister, which made her feel quite weird.

This is not the little devil who is said to peel off dragon scales and pull out dragon tendons. He is clearly a naughty boy next door.

She said to Lin Ruhai who was standing beside her, "Dad, this is the Nezha I told you about."

Lin Ruhai had been secretly looking forward to it since his daughter told him mysteriously that she had a big gift for him, but he never expected it to be such a big gift.

It turns out that the Immortal Tavern my daughter mentioned is such a place!
I actually still have the chance to come!

The various images in his mind intertwined with the decorative figures in front of him, making him almost think he was dreaming.

Until Lin Daiyu's voice brought him back to reality.

"Nezha?" Lin Ruhai was surprised. "Is he the one who caused chaos in the sea in the legend?"

Lin Daiyu nodded: "I told you so."

Lin Ruhai was shocked.

At that time he thought his daughter was exaggerating, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Nezha swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake whole and said seriously, "Are you Sister Xiaolin's father?"

"Oh, yes." Lin Ruhai raised his hands, wanting to salute, but he hesitated about what etiquette to show to such a little guy.

Nezha, however, stretched out his hand boldly.

Lin Ruhai understood his intention, hesitated and stretched out his hand to shake his hand, thinking that this might be the etiquette of immortals.

"Nice to meet you." Nezha said seriously.

"Nice to meet you." Lin Ruhai said hurriedly.

Li Yunlong, who had just put down his wine glass, looked back and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He saw that Nezha was clearly learning from him.

Nezha withdrew his hand, held his head high and chest out, and could not help grinning again.

He found the handshake very interesting, as if it made him become an adult.

Lin Daiyu introduced the tavern to her father.

Guests from different worlds, and a wide variety of fine wines and treasures.

Only then did Lin Ruhai realize that his vision in the past was too short-sighted.

There are so many extraordinary things in the tavern. If you can enter this place, let alone becoming an emperor, even standing on the emperor's head and shitting would be easy.

The guests also opened his eyes.

Not to mention those famous kings in history, even the legendary Monkey King who wreaked havoc in Heaven actually existed!
When chatting with Li Jing and his wife, Lin Ruhai learned that in their world monsters often wreaked havoc on the human world, and sometimes immortals came to the world to teach the way to immortality, he became even more fascinated.

In the following days, he often came to the tavern with Lin Daiyu.

He has already sent out the invitation letters. Although those good friends live not far away, it will take some time for them to arrive.

Jia Lian was not yet aware that Lin Ruhai was also able to enter the tavern.

He planned to rest for a few days before embarking on his journey back north.

When he came, he just wanted to help Lin's father with his funeral and bring the Lin family's inheritance back to the Jia Mansion according to the old lady's instructions.

I also thought about getting a piece of the pie.

Just like these ordinary people, ignorant and insignificant.

"I am different now," Jia Lian stood on the street, looking at the people passing by, with infinite ambition in his heart, "Kings and nobles are all fleeting, and in the future I will become an immortal!"

His fingers gently stroked the ring, which contained five glasses of wine.

These wines were enough to help him change his fate and save the Jia family from disaster.

"My uncle is right. My father is too absurd. He must abdicate, otherwise he will use my name to cause trouble and add to the karma of my peers." Jia Lian thought to himself.

He is full of hope for the future.

……

Three days later.

Lin Ruhai held a wine glass and talked to Li Jing incessantly about strategies for governing the country and maintaining peace.

As a former top scholar in the imperial examination, and having been immersed in the officialdom for so long, he has his own experience.

Listening to him speaking so logically, Li Jing kept nodding in agreement.

In terms of martial arts, ten thousand Lin Ruhais are no match for him, but the other party is also quite insightful in his own field.

But that wasn't what really interested him.

When Lin Ruhai was talking happily, he suddenly heard Li Jing ask: "Brother Lin, do you have any plans to remarry?"

Lin Ruhai was slightly startled, then shook his head.

He had a very good relationship with Lin's mother. After her death, although he had several concubines, he had no plans to marry.

Marrying a wife is not the same as taking a concubine. It involves many aspects. He does not have the energy or the mind to worry about these things.

After hearing his explanation, Li Jing looked at Lin Daiyu not far away and sighed, "Daiyu has not had her mother to teach her since she was a child. This is not good at all."

Lin Ruhai was full of doubts and didn't know what the other party meant by saying this.

In fact, he was somewhat flattered by the enthusiasm of Li Jing and his wife in recent days.

These two people are not ordinary people.

He originally thought that the other party was impressed by his talent and wanted to discuss state governance strategies with him, but now it seems that he was wrong.

Does he want to introduce a wife to me?

Is this too much about yourself?

"What does Brother Li mean?" Lin Ruhai asked calmly.

Li Jing put down his wine glass, smiled and said, "My wife and I have no daughter, which has always been a pity. Daiyu also gets along well with Nezha and my husband and I, so I was thinking about whether I could become a godparent."

Lin Ruhai suddenly felt enlightened, yet inexplicably embarrassed.

He thought about the two people's attitude towards him and the jade hairpin that Mrs. Yin gave to Lin Daiyu.

Even though his daughter didn't understand, how could he not see that the jade hairpin was priceless and too expensive to be used as a gift?

When he saw Nezha following Lin Daiyu like a little tail, he was even more surprised.

He naturally knew what kind of people Li Jing and his wife were like.

He couldn't think of any reason to refuse his daughter's request to recognize the two as godparents.

Lin Ruhai cupped his hands and said sincerely, "It is a blessing for my daughter to be favored by you."

"But I still have to talk to her about this," he added.

"We should ask Daiyu for her opinion." Li Jing said with a smile, "This kind of thing depends on fate and mutual consent. It is natural for her to have concerns."

"I don't think she will refuse." Lin Ruhai said after hearing this.

The two smiled at each other, and felt that their relationship had become much closer.
