Chapter 195: Feast
I never expected that I would only want a duke, but instead I was granted the title of Prince! This way, my brothers won't have to live a life of danger anymore, and we can establish the headquarters of the Yongbing Guild in Lingxiao City.
"Uh, thank, thank, what was it again?" Luo Tianyou pretended to be confused.
"Taishan Lord, the Prince is here to see me, no need for formalities," Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Let the feast begin." Roxie shouted, and soon servants outside began setting up tables with food and drinks. In just a moment, one hundred and eight dishes were served.
"Husband, let's eat something first," Roxie said softly as she walked to Yang Chen's side.
"Yes, Tian Shang, come in and eat with us," Yang Chen nodded and said.
"Xie Tiandi, I think I'll eat later," came Yao Tianshang's voice from outside as he declined.
"This isn't the imperial city; come join us," Yang Chen said lightly.
"I still..."
"I said, come in and eat! Are you defying me?" Yang Chen walked in front of Yao Tianshang and said lazily.
"Xie Xian Emperor," Yao Tianshang said with slight gratitude.
"Out here, there's no need to be too formal," Yang Chen turned around and said.
"Yes."
"Xier, Mingyue, it's time to eat," Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, husband," the two replied.
At that moment, Xier suddenly stepped forward and blocked Luo Tianyou, mischievously asking, "Father, what do you think is the best dish among these one hundred and eight dishes?"
Luo Tianyou was taken aback for a moment, looking at the dishes covered by one hundred and eight copper bowls on the table. He glanced at Roxie's cunning eyes and suddenly shouted, "Girl, you didn't cook my Nine-Stage Demon Dragon meat, did you?!"
"Ha ha, Father, you are so clever!" Roxie laughed.
"You, you, you ungrateful girl who forgets her father after finding a man! I've spoiled you for over twenty years for nothing!" Luo Tianyou said angrily.
"Alright, Dad, stop pretending. Don't I know why you left that Dark Two-Headed Dragon meat last time? Now that my husband is here, how much longer do you want to keep it?" Roxie pouted.
"Well, only you understand me," Luo Tianyou said helplessly. "Alright, Yang Chen, sit down and try this Nine-Stage Demon Dragon meat; it's quite fresh. I hunted it less than three months ago."
"Thank you, Taishan Lord, Tian Shang, please join us," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Celestial Emperor," Yao Tianshang responded.
Then everyone sat around the three-meter diameter round table. Luo Tianyou took the main seat, followed by Roxie, who insisted on sitting next to Yang Chen. To avoid neglecting Tian Mingyue, Yang Chen took the next seat, followed by Tian Mingyue, and finally Yao Tianshang.
In fact, as they shuffled around, they disregarded any order; after all, they were all family and didn't need to worry about hierarchy.
With a wave of his hand, Luo Tianyou quietly lifted the one hundred and eight copper bowls. Various dishes of different styles and appearances were revealed.
"Ah, in Lingxiao, I can savor such delicacies, dragon meat!" Yang Chen exclaimed.
"Ha ha, my dear nephew is joking. This mere Ninth Level dragon meat is nothing for the Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom; we can easily obtain it," Luo Tianyou laughed heartily.
In response, Yang Chen merely smiled slightly and said nothing.
"How can we have dishes without wine?" Luo Tianyou smiled.
"Father, I'll go get it. Should I bring the hundred-year Zhuangyuan Hong or the hundred-year Hou'er wine?" Roxie smiled.
"You, you prodigal child, do you really want to squander your father's little fortune? Whatever hundred-year stuff, just bring two bottles of Daughter Red. You and Mingyue can drink a bit; we have our own wine," Luo Tianyou said mysteriously.
"Alright, I'll get the eighteen-year Daughter Red. Sister Mingyue, wait for me," Roxie said before rushing out.
"Come, Yang Chen, Tian Shang brother, try my dragon whip wine." Luo Tianyou tossed out two jars of wine from his storage space.
Yang Chen received them, opened the seal, sniffed it, and then calmly set it down.
Yao Tianshang opened his jar and directly poured it into his mouth, exclaiming, "Good wine!"
"Ha ha, I'm glad you like it, Tian Shang brother," Luo Tianyou said proudly. "Three months ago, I hunted this Dark Two-Headed Dragon, cut that part off, and stored it in my wine jar. It took the Alchemist Guild two months and cost thousands in medicinal materials to brew this nine jars."
Yao Tianshang chewed for a moment and then swallowed, saying, "Thank you for your generous gift, Yongbing Wang, but please provide me with a place to rest later."
Luo Tianyou gave a knowing look and said, "Ah, in my Yongbing City, don't worry about such things. Just call me Brother Tianyou, and I'll call you Tian Shang brother. How about that?"
"Alright then, I shall take the honor of calling you that," Yao Tianshang replied loudly.
"What's high or low? We, Yongbing, talk about a kind of intention, a mutual understanding, and that is brotherhood! Come on, Brother Tian Shang, cheers!"
"Cheers!" Yao Tianshang was also infected by Luo Tianyou's bold spirit and said with enthusiasm.
After finishing a drink, Luo Tianyou turned to Yang Chen and said, "Nephew, why aren't you drinking?"
"I can't handle this wine," Yang Chen replied, trying to lighten the mood by referring to himself.
"Haha, how could that be? If it's really too much, then tonight we can have one dragon and two phoenixes! Haha!" Luo Tianyou looked at Tian Mingyue and said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Tian Mingyue quickly lowered her head, her face flushed with shyness.
"Uh, Lord Taishan is joking," Yang Chen said with a wry smile.
"Father, what do you mean by 'two phoenixes'?" Outside the door, Roxie rushed in holding two jars of eighteen-year-old Daughter Red and asked.
"Nothing, Xier. Just sit down and eat," Yang Chen diverted the topic.
"Hmph, if you won't say it, then you won't say it. Sister Mingyue, you'll tell me, right?" Roxie said to Tian Mingyue.
With Roxie's words, Tian Mingyue's face turned even redder, her head nearly touching the table.
"Alright, alright, let's eat," Luo Tianyou advised.
"Hmph, you're all like this. Tian Shang, will you tell this Consort?" Roxie brought up her identity as Consort.
"Well, please forgive me, Consort. The Celestial Emperor does not allow subjects to speak of such matters; how could I dare?" Yao Tianshang directly passed this hot potato to Yang Chen in his mind saying: "It's your family matter; don't drag me into this. I'm innocent."
"What are you talking about? Did I let you speak?" Yang Chen pretended to say with authority.
"Then I said it?" Yao Tianshang asked tentatively.
"I..." Yang Chen was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Alright, Sister Xier, let me tell you later. Don't make it difficult for your husband," Tian Mingyue said, timely coming to Yang Chen's rescue.
"I knew Sister Mingyue was the best. Come on, let's have a drink together," Roxie said boldly.
"Well, okay." Tian Mingyue looked at the enthusiastic Roxie and had no choice but to accompany her.
"Husband, what kind of wine is this? Why aren't you drinking?" Roxie asked, looking at the untouched Longbian wine in front of Yang Chen.
"Xier, this is strong liquor. You can drink Daughter Red with Mingyue; I'll save this wine for myself," Yang Chen said casually.
"Okay, husband, cheers!" Roxie poured herself a glass, raised it, and said boldly.
"This... alright, cheers." At that moment, Yang Chen also had to brace himself and lifted the Longbian wine, pouring it into his mouth.
