Gulp!
Gulp!
The little fox and the black cat let out a series of gulping sounds. It was obvious that they couldn’t wait to eat.
Liu Changgong looked at their cute appearance and couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t worry, it’s not ready yet! You can eat it later.”
The black cat and the white fox nodded spiritually at the same time, as if to say: “Faster, faster.”
Ever since the day she ate the roast chicken, the black cat has become addicted to these mortal foods.

Zhu Zhao had not dared to come here since that day when he had suffered a great loss in the shop.
But Huang Ze came to see his old friend’s face after the bad, to understand the details. He comforted him, “Zhu Zhao, I think that you are a smart person who was muddle-headed for a while. Why would a person like Senior care about these things? You were already punished back then, so naturally, you should not take this matter to heart.”
“You are just a petty person who measures the stomach of a gentleman. If you don’t believe me, I happened to bring a pot of good wine today. Let’s visit Senior together. I will accompany you, alright?”
After hearing what Huang Ze said, Zhu Zhao also felt that a person like Senior wouldn’t mind those things. After all, Senior’s cultivation level was extremely high. If he wanted to find trouble with him, he wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble to kill him.
Thus, the two of them tidied up their clothes, brought their gifts, and headed to Immortal’s Destiny Shop.
The moment they entered, they smelled the rich smell of braised pork. Looking at the good wine in their hands, they thought of the wine from today and felt that they had come at the right time.
When Liu Changgong was done with everything, he saw two people standing in his shop. Looking carefully, weren’t they Old Mr. Zhu and his friend?
“Welcome, welcome. Old Mr. Zhu hasn’t been here for some time.” Liu Changgong walked up to them quickly. They were big customers. Although they didn’t buy anything from Liu Changgong last time, they were definitely rich.
Especially Zhu Zhao. His junior, Yu Linglong, had spent a few taels of gold to buy a few clay figurines.
“I’m really sorry, Shopkeeper Liu. Last time, our family had something to do and we didn’t bring any money, so we left in a hurry. We didn’t even have time to say goodbye to the shopkeeper. Today, my friend and I happened to bring some good wine to apologize to you. I’m really sorry.” Zhu Zhao frantically apologized for his behavior a few days ago.
Liu Changgong looked at the frantically apologizing Zhu Zhao in front of him and felt a little blinded. It was just that he didn’t bring any money with him. Buying things meant that he couldn’t do business. What was there to apologize for?
Liu Changgong looked at the white-haired Zhu Zhao nodding and bowing at him. He felt very uncomfortable and hurriedly helped him up.
“You’re too kind. I opened the door for business. I can do business anytime. As long as the things are still there, I can do business anytime.”
Hearing Liu Changgong’s words, which meant ‘I forgive you’, Zhu Zhao was relieved.
“It just so happens that I’m cooking today. We can have a meal together,” Liu Changgong said politely.
After all, such a rich man had lived in luxury for a long time. He probably didn’t want a simple meal like his own.
Who knew that Zhu Zhao and Huang Ze were waiting for Liu Changgong’s words? The taste of the pot of wine from last time was still fresh in their minds. Who knew if the senior’s meal would be equally magical? Huang Ze immediately said, “We’ll have to trouble you. It just so happens that we can drink the wine that I brought.”
This time, Liu Changgong was dumbfounded. He was really just being polite. He thought that they would refuse, but who knew that they would agree?
‘Alright, it’s just adding two pairs of chopsticks and eating less food. Didn’t they also bring good wine?’ Liu Changgong could only comfort himself like this.
“Old Mr. Zhu, I’ll have to trouble you to go to the kitchen and help me with the cutlery. I have to feed these little guys first. These bowls are theirs, so you have to add two more sets of cutlery.”
Zhu Zhao stood up. “Alright, I’ll go now.” He would never disobey the senior’s orders.
Liu Changgong looked at Zhu Zhao who was walking towards the kitchen and couldn’t help but feel a little proud.
A mortal commanding a cultivator to do something. He should be the first in the world, right?
Who asked him to be so outstanding in painting, calligraphy, and cooking! Even the cultivators were very impressed. As expected, talented people were respected wherever they went. Gold would shine wherever they went.
Very soon, Zhu Zhao brought the things back.
Seeing that Zhu Zhao had things to do, Huang Ze also went forward to help Liu Changgong carry a chair and put down the bowls and chopsticks.
The group of people sat down. Zhu Zhao quickly took out a wine jar from his storage bracelet.
“Hehe, today I’ll taste the spiritual wine that only cultivators can drink…”
Liu Changgong wasn’t surprised at all when he saw Zhu Zhao take out the wine jar from his storage bracelet. He already knew that Zhu Zhao and the others were cultivators.
He still had a little expectation in his heart. What was the difference between the wine that this cultivator drank and his own wine?
Zhu Zhao opened the wine jar and said humbly, “It’s not a good wine. Mr. Liu, don’t mind it.”
In order to save his friend’s image in front of the senior, Huang Ze also put in a lot of effort to act. “Yin Mountain Brew?! Good! Didn’t you say that you had finished it long ago? Why did you show it again in front of the shop owner today?”
Zhu Zhao also cooperated with him and sneered. “It’s a waste to let you drink such a good wine like Yin Mountain Brew. Only a person like you, who knows the goods, is qualified to taste it.”
Zhu Zhao poured a cup for everyone present. Even the little fox, the black cat, and the white rabbit had a bowl in front of them. Huang Ze also called Zhu Zhao the most generous person he had ever been in his life.
Liu Changgong watched the two cultivators bicker with each other and felt that it was very interesting. The relationship between the two should be very deep. The rarest thing was that these two cultivators did not care that he was just a mortal and had to lower themselves.
Zhu Zhao’s wine had a golden color and a fragrant smell. It seemed to be brewed from the unique fruits of Mount Taiyin.
After drinking it in one gulp, it was soft and long. The taste wasn’t bad, but it was far worse than the wine that came out of his flagon.
After drinking a few cups of wine, he didn’t feel anything other than a warm feeling in his stomach.
Zhu Zhao and the others didn’t drink much after one cup, but their faces became extremely red, like the buttocks of a monkey.
“A cultivator’s tolerance for alcohol is actually so low? It’s not even as strong as a mortal like myself…”
Liu Changgong laughed in his heart.
What he didn’t know was that Zhu Zhao and the Huang Ze’s reaction to him was only shock.
“As expected of a senior with profound mana. His cultivation is exceptional. The spirit energy in this Yin Mountain Brew mixed with the strength of alcohol actually has no effect on him at all…”
