Chapter 235: How Is That Possible

~6 min read 1,070 words

"Chen Feng? Ash?"

Huai Te chewed over these two names and found them both quite familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard them. She shook her head and said, "You siblings are really strange; even your names are different!"

She continued, "However, I really didn't expect that you were actually Dragon Tooth!"

She had only guessed that Ash's identity wasn't simple before, but she hadn't expected Ash to be a super soldier king!

"Hehe, I'm not just Dragon Tooth!" Ash curled his lips and said jokingly.

Huai Te rolled her eyes and said, "Then who exactly are you?"

"I am your enemy!"

Ash laughed.

Huai Te was so annoyed she wanted to kick Ash away, but thinking that her injuries hadn't recovered, she held back.

She gave a cold hmph and said, "I think you're just trying to scare me on purpose."

"Whether it's on purpose or not, you'll know once you drink the wine." Ash said.

Huai Te nodded to show she understood, picked up the goblet, and drank it down.

In an instant, the aroma of the wine entered her throat, and Huai Te felt comfortable all over.

Immediately after, her expression turned to shock, and she exclaimed, "This... this is '82 Romanée-Conti, how is that possible!"

As one of the Four Beauties of the Capital, she had a wealthy family background and had been exposed to various top-tier red wines since childhood, and '82 Romanée-Conti was one of them.

"Of course this is '82 Romanée-Conti; why would I lie to you!"

Ash laughed and reached out to pour her another glass, "'82 Romanée-Conti is generally produced in France, has a lower alcohol content, and the taste is purer. I have quite a lot in this wine cellar; drink slowly, you won't get drunk anyway!"

This winery was left behind by his father, Lin Zhenbei, and belonged to his mother, Lin Qingluan; he indeed had the right to use it.

As for what would happen after Huai Te drank this wine, he wasn't worried; these wines had been diluted with spiritual energy, so no matter how much Huai Te drank, she wouldn't get drunk.

Huai Te widened her eyes and said, "I know this wine must have been bought with your private stash, but this is too precious! How could you bear to use it to pick up girls? This doesn't fit your style at all!"

"I'm a thrifty person, so I don't waste much; can't I just keep this wine for myself?" Ash said.

He didn't intend to tell Huai Te that he relied on cultivating the "Holy Demon Swallowing Heaven Creation Art" to brew these wines, so these wines weren't precious to him.

Huai Te rolled her eyes, "Tch, you really are worthy of being Dragon Tooth; that excuse is truly terrible."

Ash laughed and said, "Do you still want to eat? If you're hungry, I'll go prepare lunch for you."

Huai Te shook her head and said, "No need, I'll leave right away; you can eat by yourself."

After saying that, she stood up.

She was weak and still felt a bit soft, but she was a martial artist and had some ability to resist the effects of the medicine, though she had pretended to faint at the beginning.

She didn't want to stay any longer, fearing she wouldn't be able to resist the temptation and end up having some kind of relationship with Ash.

"You're leaving?" Ash also stood up, surprised, "Don't you want to eat a bit more?"

"No!" Huai Te shook her head.

At this moment, her heart was pounding, and she even felt a bit shy, feeling that if she kept eating, she probably wouldn't be able to leave.

After she left the private room, she found the landlady, asked for the location of the kitchen, and walked toward the kitchen, wanting to cook some porridge for Ash, so he wouldn't go looking for girls to hook up with later.

Huai Te laughed, "Auntie, don't bother; I'm not hungry, I was just passing by to take a look."

While speaking, Huai Te stared at Zhou Zhou Liping in front of her for a few moments.

"Oh my, you child, you make it sound like I'm abusing you. Look at me, I'm so tired, won't you let me rest?"

Zhou Zhou Liping rolled her eyes at Huai Te in mock anger and said, "Come over here, Auntie will cook you a bowl of noodles! The chef at this hotel is really good; the noodles are made especially fresh and smooth, even better than what they make at the food stalls outside."

"Uh... okay."

Huai Te nodded, feeling a bitter smile in her heart.

Although she didn't like eating noodles, she was indeed a bit hungry right now, so she sat down.

After the noodles were served, Huai Te took a bite, and her eyes lit up immediately. This taste was definitely the best noodles she had ever eaten, and she immediately started eating, devouring them ravenously.

Zhou Zhou Liping watched with a beaming smile: "Ye Ye Yiren, if you like eating them, just rent out this restaurant and have them make noodles for you every day. Don't worry, the price will definitely be fair; you won't lose money."

"Thank you, Auntie, but I'm used to cooking for myself. Besides, my father's friend opened a winery, and this hotel is theirs."

When Huai Te said the second half, her expression was a bit awkward; if her dad heard this, he would probably criticize her for being a spendthrift again.

Her father was the richest man in Yanjing, and this hotel was also in the global top 500, but compared to the Dragon Group, it was far behind.

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Zhou Liping showed a look of envy.

Seeing Zhou Zhou Liping's disappointed expression, Huai Te suddenly said again: "Auntie, I have quite a lot of good wine here; do you want to try some?"

"Really?"

A look of excitement appeared on Zhou Zhou Liping's face, but then she hesitated, "This... alright, since you're so polite, Auntie will shamelessly accept it today."

Huai Te smiled, turned, and walked toward the refrigerator, taking out the remaining few bottles of good wine.

"Wow! These are all '82 Lafite. Where did you get them? The market price for this wine has been rising really fast recently."
