653: Chapter 446 653: Chapter 446 Ding Ling was actually asking about some cultivation queries, such as Artifact Refining, Formation, and she certainly couldnât grasp as much as Lai Jianlin who had just started learning.
Besides being perceptive, Lai Jianlin had also studied with his brothers and had been cultivating for over half a month now, which was of course more impressive than Ding Lingâs beginner efforts.
When his junior sister asked questions, he provided her with detailed explanations.
Ding Ling felt she wasnât as smart as other girls and could only rely on her stubbornness and diligence to improve her Cultivation.
She always dreamed that one day she could return to her hometown in glory, hoping to be able to cultivate with her family just like Yan Weiwei.
Luo Yaxuan was in the midst of advising and attempting to stop his junior sister Liu Jiaojiao, who drank alcohol as if it were water, unaware of its potency.
He also noticed that his master and mistress, deeply in love, didnât seem to bother with them.
He knew that at this moment, if one could handle the alcohol, it was very beneficial for the body.
Especially for someone with shallow Cultivation like Liu Jiaojiao, it was even more beneficial.
Yet Luo Yaxuan was also worried that she might get drunk, suffer a headache, or vomit.
He realized that he was acting more like a father than his master in taking care of his junior sister Liu Jiaojiao.
The master and mistress didnât seem to care much for Liu Jiaojiao anymore, trusting her to be at his side.
Thus, Luo Yaxuan found himself with an added responsibility, becoming a master of sorts to Liu Jiaojiao, teaching her knowledge, caring for her in life, and offering her more affection.
This feeling of an old cow grazing on tender grass was amidst othersâ teasing; he found himself in a mix of happiness and sorrow.
Mo Wen was in hot water, making such a comment because he was surrounded by three women who were jealous and vying for attention.
He used to be ignored, but suddenly, several beauties had taken a fancy to him!
He was unsure if this was fortune or sorrow.
Mo Wen knew his own situation, appreciating that any girl liked him at all, considering he was once just an unskilled man with an ordinary appearance.
People like him, who had to be paid for by junior brothers and sisters when going out, were not the type girls would fancy, this poor lad.
After following Lai Jianlin and then the Saint Master, he finally had some money and a slightly higher Combat Power.
His once rough appearance had also improved somewhat.
Yet he never expected to catch the fancy of three women, all from the same Immortal Sect, women who previously looked down on others, now fancying himâhe couldnât believe it was true.
âMo Wen, shall I drink with you?â
âMo Wen, let me pour you a drink!â
âMo Wen, cheers!â
Mo Wen was faced with three girls, all chattering by his ear.
He enjoyed the attention but also wanted it to stop.
His mind wandered, thinking that if he brought home three wives one day, his family might be thrilled.
If they had a multitude of children together, taking them home, would his family think he had brought honor to the ancestors?
Mo Wen could only think such thoughts in his heart, feeling that the girls before him were too realistic.
If one day he were penniless again, would they leave him?
Bi Renchuan and Fan Dingding continued to be their single selves.
Among the hundreds of people in the Magical Treasure, there were only about a dozen unmarried women, all unattached and single.
Regardless of whether they had girlfriends before or were married in their families, they were bachelors here.
A bunch of bachelors could only drink together, eat meat, and chat.
Apart from playing cards and gambling, they found this kind of life not too bad, free from the constant nagging of women.
In fact, they found it rather carefree.
Being tied down by a woman meant responsibilities, burdens, and concerns, and not quite as free-spirited.
Listening to the noisy chatter of the girls in the Magical Treasure fighting over a man was too irritating!
They didnât feel envy or jealousy; everyone had their own thoughts.
While they freely flaunted their single joys, they revelled in their bachelor fun.
âBro, what are your thoughts?â Fan Dingding glanced over at Luo Yaxuan and his junior sister.
âPsh, women.
Once you have the ability and some wealth, are you still afraid of not having women?â
Bi Renchuan had the least respect for women who approached him for their own benefit.
âYouâre not thinking that way, are you?
Donât fall for meâI love women!â Fan Dingding joked.
âPsh, with your looks, youâre not as handsome and dashing, nor as charming as Luo Yaxuan, and youâre definitely no Jiang Tang.
What use would I have for you?â
Bi Renchuan venomously mocked Fan Dingding.
âItâs good that you donât fancy me, Iâm afraid if you get too close, you might develop feelings for me, then what would I do?
Your family wouldnât be getting a grandson!â Fan Dingding continued teasing!
âFan Dingding, are you asking for a beating?
You drink a couple of glasses and think you can rebel?â
Bi Renchuan was angry and about to explode!
âAlright, alright, canât you take a joke!â Fan Dingding immediately soothed Bi Renchuan.
The two brothers argued for a bit, then made up again.
The ancestor of the North City Immortal Sect, trapped by the sealed flying magic artifact, felt many people laughing and joking outside, but he couldnât get out from his sealed enclosure.
What made him most uncomfortable was smelling the scent of alcohol; this aroma was too tempting for him!
So he covertly called out to Jiang Tang, âYoung man, you eat and drink without inviting me, I want to drink alcohol, I want to eat meat!â
Jiang Tang was having a wonderful time among beautiful women, really not wanting to pay attention to the North City Immortal Sect ancestor.
But the old man kept nagging in his ear, and only he could hear the voice.
He was annoyed to death, and wanted to send the old man flying with a slap, yet he didnât want to ruin his own plans.
After drinking and dining with everyone, he reluctantly went to see the old man.
When the North City Immortal Sect ancestor saw Jiang Tang, he glared at him, âHmm, you have alcohol and food but donât share with me, youâre so disrespectful to your elders!â
âOld man, playing the seniority card is useless.
Why?
Because youâre not strong enough.
If you were stronger than me, you could have everything.
If you canât beat me, then stop whining!â
Jiang Tang didnât indulge such behavior of taking advantage of oneâs age.
He didnât owe this person anything; after all, it was he who had lost to him, wasnât it?
The North City Immortal Sect ancestor, infuriated by Jiang Tangâs words, didnât have a comeback, feeling that he might not die of old age or in battle one day, but instead of frustration with this person!
âYoung man, you donât share your drink and food with me and keep me monitored.
While you all enjoy the good stuff outside, at least give me a bit!â
Jiang Tang purposely shook his head saying, âWhy do you even need to eat, arenât you just an old relic?
Isnât it a waste of food no matter how much you consume?â
âYoung man, youâre too much.
At least give me a cup of wine; you canât leave me salivating like this!â The North City Immortal Sect ancestor begged for a cup of wine, causing a fuss, behaving like a child.
Jiang TangâŠ, perhaps more members of the North City Immortal Sect should see this side of the old man?
It seemed his senior brothers and sisters were also from the North City Immortal Sect, but he still didnât want to let the old fellow see them.
Not wanting to trouble his senior sister and reluctantly becoming soft-hearted, he released the old man, not to ruin his big plans.
âWant to drink alcohol, is it?
Itâs not out of the question.
Iâll give you a jar of wine, some seafood, and in the future, no more whining, got it?
Save it and make it last.
My people arenât here to serve you!â
The North City Immortal Sect ancestor listened to Jiang Tangâs unceremonious voice, saw a five-pound jar of wine, and a plate of seafood, nodding in satisfaction.
Upon opening the lid and smelling the fragrance of the wine inside, he felt it was the most tantalizing thing in the world, far superior to any other alcohol.
âYoung man, did you brew this wine?â
âYes, got any critiques?â
âNo, no, I couldnât possibly brew such divine wine, such beautiful wine!â
âYou donât have the skill, but managing to cultivate to this level as an Immortal Sectâs ancestor, I respect that!â
âHaha, young man, you donât have to respect me.
How are you so powerful at such a young age?â The North City Immortal Sect ancestor didnât use a wine cup, drinking directly from the jar in big gulps, displaying a bit of a wild demeanor!
âOld man, youâre so old, do you have any sons, grandsons?â Jiang Tang asked, genuinely curious as he hadnât heard any gossip about the North City Immortal Sect ancestor.
âI devoted myself to cultivation, where would children come from?â
âNo wonder, looking at you, youâre like a monk; havenât settled down in over a thousand years, have you?â
âYou young people, why discuss such things at your age?
Did you think I donât know about you?â The North City Immortal Sect ancestor gave Jiang Tang a significant look, his gaze loaded with meanings.
Jiang TangâŠ, what do you know, huh?
