Chapter 291

Slurping, it was quickly finished, and Xuan Feng naturally couldn't let it go, picking up the soup bowl and gulping it down.

If she didn't even spit out the bones, she'd look utterly savage; she definitely ate it all, a whole bowl of Flying Dragon Soup completely consumed.

Xuan Feng leaned back in her chair, face full of satisfaction—this is the life of an immortal, this is truly delicious food!

How many yuanhui have I wasted in vain? Just thinking about it makes me feel the loss of essence blood!

Xuan Feng regretted why she hadn't come to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain earlier—if she had come sooner, she could have eaten this sooner, though even then, she could only have come ten years ago; otherwise, Chen Nuo hadn't even arrived in this world, let alone been able to eat the dishes from Chaos Residence.

Is the soup worth the money? If asked again, Xuan Feng would absolutely not hesitate—blood profit, no loss!

A single drop of essence blood can buy such an exquisite, heart-entrancing culinary enjoyment—what else could she possibly lack? "Shopkeeper, can I order another portion?"

Xuan Feng licked her oil-glossed cherry lips, trying to extract every bit of flavor from the Flying Dragon Soup.

Chen Nuo chuckled, a hint of amusement on his handsome face: "This time, not expensive?"

"Not expensive at all!"

"Totally worth it!"

Xuan Feng shook her head repeatedly, but unlike before when she was forced, this time she was truly willing.

Seeing Xuan Feng's expectant gaze, Chen Nuo smiled faintly and said: "No way, rules are rules—only one dish per day, that's Chaos Residence's rule."

Xuan Feng's face fell, deeply disappointed—her meal money was essence blood, phoenix essence blood, and if it were outside, it would surely be snatched away.

Clearly, her essence blood is rare and precious.

This Chen shopkeeper treats it as nothing, allowing only one dish—this behavior of leaving money unearned is utterly puzzling to her.

But Xuan Feng dare not question it—she had already provoked the shopkeeper, and if she provoked him further and he grew displeased, even if she wasn't beaten to death, she'd be expelled.

She neither wants to die nor to go without food!

"Dishes are limited to one per day, but alcohol, you can order as much as you like."

Chen Nuo added with a mischievous tone.

Xuan Feng's eyes lit up—yes, she still had the alcohol!

She picked up the peach blossom brew sitting on the table and tore open the seal.

Instantly, a fragrant aroma drifted from the jar's mouth; Xuan Feng leaned in, her face showing a hint of intoxication—truly wonderful to smell!

"Shopkeeper, what kind of alcohol is this?"

Xuan Feng puzzled over this soothing flavor—she had never encountered such a drink before.

One drop of essence blood per jar—she couldn't possibly drink it without knowing what it was.

"The name is Peach Blossom Brew."

Xuan Feng murmured the name in her heart—it sounded quite pleasant!

Gazing at the few peach blossoms floating on the wine's surface at the jar's mouth,

Xuan Feng nodded—truly, the name fits perfectly—and picked up a small cup, filling it to the brim for herself.

The cup is made of glazed ware, transparent, allowing a clear view of the liquid inside.

Tinged with a hint of peach flesh color, yet perfectly pure, with no impurities whatsoever; a peach blossom petal rests upon it, enhancing its beauty.

Holding the cup with excitement, she took a sip—immediately, the sweet flavor filled her mouth.

Sweet but not cloying, complementing the slight burn of the alcohol, moistening the tongue while warming the heart.

Chen Nuo remained silent, merely standing to the side, watching her with a look of scrutiny—this bowl of Flying Dragon Soup was consumed a while ago, yet she still hasn't awakened her divine abilities? Xuan Feng tried a sip here, and the next moment, she began gulping it down—sweet, refreshing, delightful!

Xuan Feng drank too quickly and belched, but it's not her fault for being hasty—this wine is simply too delicious!

She had never tasted such fine wine before; compared to it, the Heavenly Court's so-called immortal brew is nothing but plain water.

As she marveled, Xuan Feng felt her lost essence blood beginning to replenish, and her spiritual power gradually started to fill up.

However, the speed is extremely slow.

Lowering her head, Xuan Feng stared blankly at the wine in the jar, her face full of shock—what is this situation? Her heart trembled with astonishment; she clearly understood that the cause was the wine she had just drunk.

"Shopkeeper, what exactly is in this wine? Why does it have such an effect?"

Xuan Feng couldn't help but speak up.

"It contains peach blossoms."

Xuan Feng was startled by the mention of peach blossoms—what does that mean? Isn't it obvious? And what connection does it have with the wine's effect? "Peach blossom petals of the nine-thousand-year-old flat peach"

Before Xuan Feng could speak, Chen Nuo added another sentence.

Nine-thousand-year... flat peach?!

Xuan Feng was utterly stunned—she hadn't misheard; the petals in this wine are actually from the flat peach, and the flat peach is one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots!

Moreover, it is in the hands of Queen Mother West.

Is this shopkeeper joking? Xuan Feng was deeply puzzled, and quickly lifted the wine jar to take another sip, savoring it slowly—gradually, her face showed an expression of astonishment.

It really is flat peach!

As the mount of a Holy Person, she also has the qualification to eat flat peaches.

Although she hasn't eaten the petals before and doesn't know their taste, she is very clear about the flat peach's effects—and this is no different!

The only difference is that this wine likely uses only the petals, so the flat peach's effect is comparatively weak, but it is still exceedingly precious!

After all, this is flat peach!

And it is nine-thousand-year-old!

As an ingredient in wine, it is already extraordinarily luxurious—I don't know where the shopkeeper obtained this flat peach; Xuan Feng couldn't help but sigh—perhaps it's just strength, like the Queen Mother: as long as she wants it, nothing is unattainable. The shopkeeper's profound cultivation is likely comparable.

Forget it—Xuan Feng shook her head, wondering why she was overthinking—just drink it; such fine wine before her, to indulge in idle thoughts would truly be a waste of heaven's bounty!

Moreover, this wine can also help accelerate her essence blood recovery—so Xuan Feng no longer needed the cup, directly lifting the jar and drinking from it.

The Peach Blossom Brew has a mild and harmonious mouthfeel, so drinking it this way causes no discomfort; shortly after, she finished the entire jar.

"So delicious!"

Xuan Feng sighed with satisfaction.

"What an unlucky person."

Chen Nuo, who was observing in secret, also shook his head helplessly.

This is the first time coming here, having eaten one dish and drunk one jar of alcohol, yet still not awakened. If everyone who has come so far has had this kind of luck, then the number of divine communications he has obtained so far must be at least two-thirds less.

"Sir, would you like another jar of alcohol?"

Chen Nuo smiled slightly and asked.

If he were to have another jar, he might just awaken, and then everyone would be happy.

Would you like another? Xuan Feng pursed her lips; she certainly wanted to keep drinking, but the high cost still made her retreat.

Essence blood is truly too important for the Phoenix Clan. If there were no loss at all, it would be fine, but now she has already lost two drops.

If she were to buy another one, it would indeed be a heavy burden. This is not something that can be recovered in just a day or two.

Shaking her head, Xuan Feng said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, I'm not buying anymore."

After saying that, she cautiously glanced at Chen Nuo's expression, fearing he might become angry.

"Hmm"

Chen Nuo merely nodded slightly and did nothing else.

Not buying is fine; he won't force a sale or purchase. Earlier, he only gave a slight intimidation.

Seeing Chen Nuo showed no abnormality, Xuan Feng then put her heart at ease.

Alas!

Looking at the plate and wine jar already cleared by herself, Xuan Feng softly sighed, wishing her essence blood could be replenished at any time!
