Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Xu's new home is Hongfeng Valley!"

"The design is not bad, the atmosphere is very good!"

"Next time I change houses, I'll have Junior Brother Xu design it too!"

Taking advantage of Xu Zhangqing cooking, everyone toured around.

Accustomed to palaces and secular architecture, this style gave them a fresh perspective.

Especially arriving at the rear courtyard, listening to the babbling flowing water, there was quite a feeling of harmony between man and nature.

Han Xin was very surprised: "Xiao Xuzi doesn't have an Earth Spirit Root, yet he designed such a feng shui layout?"

Moreover, there were many people celebrating this time, yet it wasn't crowded at all; the space and venue were both very large.

The cooking time this time was a bit long, lasting continuously from dusk until the hour of Xu before ending.

Staple food:

Hundred Blessings Spirit Rice Cake

Top-grade Spirit Rice Meal

Health-Preserving Spirit Rice Porridge

These belong to the old three staples, never tiresome even after a hundred meals.

Hot dishes:

Full Hall Red Spirit Chicken Pieces

Spirit chicken chopped into pieces, marinated in spirit wine, stir-fried in hot oil until skin crisp and meat tender, then sprinkled with white sesame seeds.

The chicken meat's color was red and bright, containing a faint Fire Spirit Qi.

Jade Green Spirit Vegetable Braised Spirit Mushroom

Spirit mushrooms sliced and pan-fried until golden yellow, laid at the bottom of the plate, bok choy blanched and arranged in a ruyi shape.

Color emerald green, clear and moist to relieve greasiness, containing rich Wood Spirit Qi.

Golden Soup Spirit Fish Pot

Pumpkin simmered into golden soup, added spirit fish pieces and dried shrimp, slow-stewed on low heat until soup thick, sprinkled with green onions.

Soup like golden liquid, carrying warmth, can nourish the body.

Amber Spirit Meat Cubes

Steamed Spirit Egg

Etcetera etcetera, up to ten kinds.

Three kinds of cold dishes:

Mixed Wood Ear

Mixed Spirit Algae

Dual-Flavor Lotus Root Slices

Three kinds of soup:

Treasure Basin Spirit Mushroom Soup

Reunion Meatball Soup

Five Elements Spirit Vegetable Thick Soup

Three kinds of desserts:

Kun Spirit Bean Cake

Glutinous Rice Cake

Lotus Seed Soup

All types added together, the quantity exceeded twenty, truly rich to the extreme.

Even Hu Bugui and the others, it was also their first time seeing Xu Zhangqing make so many dishes.

Every kind was excellent in color, aroma, and taste; one look and you knew it was delicious, making people impatient to taste a mouthful.

Xu Zhangqing brought out his "treasured collection" of top-grade Yellow Rice Wine, personally pouring for everyone; regardless of identity or status — high-status Qin Baili, Li Lingbi and others, or Miao Huayu, Xu Linshan and other Formal Disciples — all were poured a cup.

Them being able to come here as guests shows they think highly of me.

Regardless of whether they brought gifts or not, must treat all equally.

After he sat down, everyone raised their wine cups: "Cheers~"

Fine food, fine wine.

Drinking heartily, eating enjoyably.

Zhang Su claimed credit: "Junior Brother Xu being able to settle in Hongfeng Valley, I have a share of the merit."

Rong Yan curled his lip: "Even if you didn't defect, it wouldn't be the Rong Family and Zhang Family's turn."

Xu Zhangqing raised his wine cup towards the two: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, Dao Friend Rong!"

"Junior Brother Xu can also be considered a blessing in disguise!"

"Why not, make another trip to the Canglan Sea Region?"

"Forget it, forget it, why don't the two senior brothers go?"

"The Canglan Sea Region has a bit of a situation, temporarily had us come back."

"I heard that traces of Yellow Spring Alliance members were suspected to have been found?"

Everyone ate and drank.

While chatting idly and joking.

Wangwang and Wangzai lingered at everyone's feet, eating until their mouths were slick with oil.

Qiu Su, Ruo Qunshuang, Li Xianglin and the other girls liked them very much, feeding them from time to time.

In a flash, time arrived at midnight, the Zi Hour.

The people celebrating the housewarming departed one after another.

First Qin Baili, Qiu Su, Xuan Cang, then Han Su, Li Xianglin.

Gradually, even Ruo Qunshuang, Miao Huayu and the others rose one by one.

Soon, only Hu Bugui remained here.

Xu Zhangqing saw them to the gate and asked curiously, "How come Lao Zhao hasn't returned yet?"

Hu Bugui had a hint of drunkenness, narrowed his eyes and replied, "Contact has been made with him, but this guy is fishing in the Zhuo Liu Dai and doesn't want to come back for the time being."

Xu Zhangqing's mouth corner twitched, and he said in annoyance, "Is that a place where one can fish?"

Hu Bugui shook his somewhat dizzy head: "No choice, you also know what Lao Zhao's personality is like, he definitely won't come back in a short time."

Xu Zhangqing appeared somewhat helpless: "Up to him then."

Hu Bugui waved his hand: "Then I'm leaving, you rest early too."

Soon, he rode off on a camel, swaggering away.

The entire Hong Feng Ju was left with only Xu Zhangqing alone again.

However lively it was just now, that's how cold and quiet it is now.

Xu Zhangqing formed a Cleaning Talisman out of thin air, just about to clean the tabletop, when his heart suddenly stirred, and he immediately looked outside.

Only to see, under the clear cold moonlight, a graceful figure walked over slowly.

Brows like distant mountains holding snow, eyes like a cold pool reflecting the moon.

Skin pale to near transparency, lip color faint like early cherry blossoms.

A moon-white wide-sleeved cinnabar robe, at the waist hung a Jade Medicine Pouch.

A familiar face.

Familiar clothing.

Familiar figure.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise: "Senior Sister Yu!"

Yu Caiqing said tenderly: "I... am I not too late?"

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "No, you came at just the right time!"

Yu Caiqing approached while sizing things up: "The scenery is not bad, the environment is not bad either."

Xu Zhangqing familiarly took the other's small hand, discovered it was no longer ice-cold, very surprised: "Senior Sister's constitution has recovered?"

Yu Caiqing nodded slightly: "Later I tried a few more times, finally refined the Yin-Yang Interlocking Pill, body has finally recovered."

Xu Zhangqing's face showed delight: "That's wonderful."

However, Yu Caiqing shook her head: "What a pity..."

Xu Zhangqing's expression tightened, he pressed: "Pity what?"

Yu Caiqing said helplessly: "Pity the recovery was too late, leaving quite a few hidden dangers."

Xu Zhangqing comforted: "It's fine, we'll solve them one by one."

Yu Caiqing hesitated a moment, said: "After tonight, we won't be able to meet for a short time."

Xu Zhangqing was puzzled: "Why?"

Yu Caiqing raised her head, gazed at the vast sky full of stars, and said in a deep voice: "With Senior Sister's help, I have already joined Chi Huo Peak, tomorrow I go up the mountain."

At these words, Xu Zhangqing subconsciously tightened his grip on the other's small hand, said in shock: "Go up the mountain?"

Yu Caiqing's eyes revealed a look of longing: "You know, I've always longed to go up the mountain, previously hindered by physical reasons, could never go up.

Now body recovered, plus there's an opportunity, so I want to give it a try."

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath: "Indeed, going up the mountain has always been Senior Sister's pursued goal!"

Yu Caiqing smiled slightly, praised: "You're not bad either, changed homes, gained an identity, raised your status, now thriving in the Spirit Field, no longer that little Spirit Farmer."

Xu Zhangqing's old face reddened: "All thanks to Senior Sister's care this past year."

Yu Caiqing's beautiful eyes flashed: "Heard you got a Water Spirit Root?"

Xu Zhangqing instantly opened the conversation floodgates: "That's a long story..."

The two strolled leisurely around Hong Feng Ju, recounting to each other what happened during this period.

Until nothing left to say, nowhere left to walk, only then did they stop.

At this moment, the two of you look at me, I look at you.

Only each other's breathing sounds, heartbeats remained.

Xu Zhangqing probed: "Senior Sister is leaving?"

Yu Caiqing's face instantly turned peach-blossom red, she said in a low voice: "Tonight I can not leave."

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened, immediately without more words, put his arm around her slender waist, the two entered the house together.

Before long, from the Second Floor Bedroom came faint moans!
