Chapter 187

Now that I have received my little sister's forgiveness, what I lack is just the approval of this nephew and niece of mine!

Being called uncle by my niece so quickly, how could I not be pleased?

Haotian revealed a smile he thought was kind: "Chan'er, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing Haotian like this, Yang Chan breathed a sigh of relief, and her guard in her heart also lowered.

"Uncle, would you like to eat together?" Yang Chan pointed at the hot pot and spoke.

She saw that Haotian had been sitting here for so long, just watching them eat, and thought it rather pitiful.

Hearing this, Haotian quickly laughed and shook his head to refuse: "I have already eaten just now, you all eat!"

However, as he said those words, Haotian's eyes kept glancing toward the pot.

There's no way, it can't be blamed on him saying one thing and meaning another; it's really that Chef Chen made every dish too delicious.

Moreover, since the last banquet, he hasn't had hot pot again, and he truly misses it.

"It's fine, it's fine, Uncle, just eat!"

"No, no, this would be too much trouble for you!" Haotian waved his hands and declined.

How could Haotian possibly take advantage of this?

How embarrassing!

"Brother, since Chan'er has already said so, you should eat!" Yao Ji, who had been floating in midair, laughed lightly and advised.

Yielding to elders is a merit; the daughter has opened her mind, Yao Ji felt somewhat relieved.

Immediately, she unconsciously looked toward Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo here still paid no attention to the situation on the dining table, although facing it directly, he was instead staring blankly at the crystal ball.

Why not just make another pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to eat today? It's troublesome, but it's too delicious to resist!

Chen Nuo thought in his heart.

Hmm! Just do it like this!

Seeing the shopkeeper nod, Yao Ji felt joy in her heart, this was some recognition for her daughter!

Turning to Haotian, Yao Ji gave him a look with a few parts of firmness.

Today you must give my daughter this face; this dish must be given up, otherwise wouldn't it be putting on an act?

Wouldn't the shopkeeper, upon seeing this, be at a loss for what to think?

Feeling the firmness hidden in Yao Ji's attitude, Haotian had no choice but to smile awkwardly and say: "Thank you, Chan'er, then I'll have a taste!"

After saying that, Haotian quickly added another sentence.

"If it's not enough, Uncle I'll add more dishes for you!" Haotian proudly patted his chest.

He, the Sovereign of the Heavenly Court, is wealthy!

Yang Chan shook her head, with an indifferent expression: "Ah! I'll just do it myself, this thing isn't expensive."

Is eating a meal with a Golden Immortal-level magic treasure not expensive?

Haotian's mouth twitched, but then he realized: the meal money for this meal is different for everyone!

Earlier, when Yang Chan paid, because she had her back turned and it was too fast, he didn't see clearly what she gave.

"Chan'er, what is your dining standard?" Haotian couldn't help but ask.

"One-tenth of magical power."

Haotian: "..."

Magical power???

One-tenth???

This difference is too great!

Haotian was shocked in his heart; magical power, as long as one is a cultivator, one has it, and it's not a fixed value but a ratio.

Any cultivator, regardless of cultivation level, can easily take out this one-tenth of magical power!

Moreover, most importantly, as long as magical power is not overdrawn, and one focuses on circulating the cultivation method, the recovery speed will be very fast.

What kind of luck is this?!

Haotian admitted he was dead; thinking of himself, Haotian couldn't help but secretly sigh, this is truly: people compared to people must die!

As the Jade Emperor, his gaze will always be more far-reaching; although a Golden Immortal-level magic treasure is to him nothing but a hair on nine oxen, yet he cannot help but keep exploiting it!

Making a Golden Immortal-level magic artifact,

Saying it's difficult isn't really difficult, but saying it's simple isn't simple either!

Still, Chan'er's this sustainable good is great! Use divine communication!

"Then I, will eat some!" Haotian asked with a smile.

Since my own niece has said this much, how could he not give face?

Moreover, if he refuses again, my little sister's blade will have to be placed at his neck!

"Uncle, do you eat spicy or not spicy?" Yang Chan handed Haotian a pair of spare chopsticks from the table and spoke.

What to eat...

Haotian thought for a moment; last time at the banquet he ate the non-spicy broth, this time he really wanted to change it up!

However, looking at the Heavenly Howling Dog eating meat and soda water in big bites, enjoying himself greatly, Haotian's words on the tip of his tongue were changed on the spot.

"I'll also come to try this non-spicy broth!"

Haotian said against his will; although he wanted to eat the spicy broth more, but this way he wouldn't be separate from this Heavenly Howling Dog, would he?

Eating something with a dog, or rather, at the same time!

Eh...

A bit embarrassing.

He is Haotian, the mighty Jade Emperor—does he not care about face?

After a while, Yang Jian also finished his sweet and sour pork, his stern face showing satisfaction.

No wonder he's the shopkeeper—any dish he makes is so perfect!

Yet, a trace of regret again flickered in Yang Jian's eyes.

The only pity is, he didn't awaken any divine ability from this dish; if other customers at Chaos Residence knew this thought,

not to mention others, even Haotian would probably not be able to resist giving him a beating.

He, in order to awaken his first divine ability, not only ate a plate of food but also drank so much alcohol—now look, he's awakened divine ability twice in a row during meals, and still isn't satisfied!

"Brother, won't you come eat together?!" Yang Chan saw Yang Jian finish eating and asked.

Yang Jian snapped back to awareness, looking at Haotian who was hot-potting with him; he had wanted to bluntly refuse, but seeing the tempting appearance of the hot pot, he thought of his mother Yao Ji.

A flicker of awkwardness crossed his face, and in the end he still nodded slightly, saying in a deep voice: "Good."

The words fell.

"Come! Eat some meat!" Haotian, hearing this, felt joy in his heart.

Without thinking much, he picked up two slices of fully cooked meat and swiftly placed them into Yang Jian's bowl.

Suddenly, the scene grew somewhat silent.

Haotian smiled lightly, gesturing slightly with his hand: "Eat! Just prepared."

Don't look at Haotian now appearing calm and composed—his heart was in turmoil; he had acted rashly earlier!

He knew better than anyone how much his nephew hated him; even if the misunderstanding were cleared now, he doubted he could ever make his nephew like him as an uncle.

Seeing Yang Jian bow his head, silently staring at the meat in his bowl without a word,

Haotian could no longer hold back.

"Give me face, have a bite!" Haotian said, putting on a bold front.

Yes, he had used his awakened divine ability, "Give me face!"

Once the phrase "Give me face!" appears in speech, it produces a miraculous effect, making people unconsciously want to give you face.

As expected.

I don't know why, but Yang Jian suddenly felt that treating Haotian so coldly was really going too far; although his mother's death had some connection to Haotian, after all he too was a victim of scheming.

A surge of guilt welled up in his heart, and he blurted out: "Thank you, uncle!"

In an instant, Yao Ji, Yang Chan, and even the howling heavenly dog, who had been eating so eagerly he forgot himself, were all stunned.

They all turned to look at Yang Jian, seeing him already holding his chopsticks and beginning to eat happily.

Was he not dreaming?

Yao Ji blinked her beautiful eyes.

Although she had only accompanied the Second Lord through some childhood years, seeing the small to understand the great, and adding to that the feeling of hatred toward his elder brother she sensed from the Second Lord after his resurrection, she knew that, given the Second Lord's stubborn nature, even forgiveness would require no short time.

But now this is...
