Chapter 1805: Want to Go to the Roadside Stall

Xiao Feng sat for several more hours, filling today's cultivation time.

Xiao Mi knew his daily cultivation time was twelve hours, had already finished his own cultivation early, and was waiting eagerly for him.

Seeing Xiao Mi's expectant gaze, Xiao Feng couldn't help but soften his heart, apologetically saying, "Xiao Mi, I have something to attend to first; I'll leave for a bit and later bring you to continue exploring the War Ancient State."

"Ah? This... okay, master, go about your business; I won't be in a hurry." Xiao Mi felt a bit disappointed but dared not voice any opinion, completely obeying the master's words.

"Truly obedient~"

Xiao Feng rubbed her head, lightly kissed her vermilion lips, then immediately exited the game.

……

Offline, it was night at this time.

It had been over ten days since I last saw it; the Myriad Spirit Tree outside had grown noticeably taller.

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy around, Xiao Feng couldn't help but marvel, feeling he truly was a great contributor to Blue Star; in the future, this Planet will change because of the Myriad Spirit Tree.

On the pillow beside him lay a long-legged beauty; Jiang Ning had already come back online, having been offline for over half an hour earlier, not staying long with Chen Jie.

Indeed, given Chen Jie's personality, unless one is especially close, no one can stay by her side for long; they'd find her coldness unbearable and leave on their own.

"She said she wants to drink... what should I get her to drink?" Xiao Feng muttered to himself.

This time Chen Jie helped him traverse a distance of several billion kilometers; although for her it was merely a trivial effort, for Xiao Feng it still meant a great deal.

After all, that's several billion kilometers, almost one-thousandth of a light-year!

Having promised to get her a drink, I can't go back on my word; it must be good liquor!

Xiao Feng went downstairs without disturbing anyone.

The layout of the downstairs living room was exactly the same as before; he opened the liquor cabinet and rummaged for something.

At this late hour, Su Ni had already gone to sleep; with no one to introduce him, he just guessed blindly.

"This foreign liquor looks not bad... but her planet seems to lack Western civilization, so maybe baijiu would be better."

"Hmm, this bottle looks nice, seems to have some age! Let me see... Ge Zhongshan gifted to Xiao Feng, uh?"

After flipping through a couple, he pulled out an antique-like ceramic liquor bottle, with no brand name, only a small line of characters engraved.

Ge Zhongshan he recalled was an old man who cultivated Internal Martial Arts; on a previous vacation island he had been intimidated by him once, never expecting he'd later send him a bottle of liquor, probably received by Su Ni and forgotten to tell him.

Being able to send liquor over, it seems that old man gained quite a bit from playing the game; his strength may have increased.

"This is it!"

Thinking of that old man's status, this liquor surely won't disappoint; Xiao Feng grabbed it and ran straight to the neighboring mansion.

Chen Jie's residence had no lights on; the whole house was pitch black, as if no one was home.

Xiao Feng pressed the doorbell; no one responded.

Thinking of her aloof nature, not liking to receive guests, he guessed she was probably home but not answering.

Xiao Feng himself entered by inputting the password.

The hall's sensing lights turned on automatically; sure enough, he saw the black-clad girl sitting alone on the sofa, silent, like a statue dazed there.

"Good evening, Grand Dao Ancestor." Xiao Feng greeted.

Chen Jie glanced at him lightly, seemingly disliking that title.

Xiao Feng brushed it off, walked over and sat on the sofa beside her, placing that bottle on the table: "I promised to get you a drink; I came in a rush without preparation—this seems okay, want to try it?"

Chen Jie glanced at it, not hiding her disdain: "Too bad."

"Uh... then what kind of liquor do you want?" Xiao Feng was instantly embarrassed.

She replied: "Your planet has no good liquor; go to the neighboring Di Qiu and bring back a bottle for me."

"Di, Di Qiu? I..."

Xiao Feng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Is this young lady just messing with him for fun?

With Blue Star's technological level, going to another planet?

Even a single trip to outer space requires long preparation, and might even end in a launch failure and death!

"How so, lacking sincerity?" Chen Jie sneered.

Xiao Feng gave a bitter smile: "It's not that I lack sincerity; I lack the ability. Crossing the starry void requires either advanced technology or reaching the ruler's realm—I'm still far from that. Or... I could go online and contact He Yunshan, the ruler, to ask him to help send a bottle over?"

"Forget it."

Seeing his troubled yet eager-to-please expression, Chen Jie's tone softened, and her expression became much more satisfied.

"Then... what should we drink?" Xiao Feng probed.

Chen Jie replied: "Come walk with me, let's go outside to drink."

"Outside? It's already 2 a. m.; where can we go to drink?" Xiao Feng was taken aback.

Chen Jie said indifferently: "There's a little stall still open seven li outside Jiang Bian, selling barbecue and beer."

"Uh..."

"Barbecue beer and such..."

Xiao Feng's old face stiffened; he was completely at a loss at her doing.

This young lady's temperament is truly hard to fathom—having good liquor but not drinking it, she actually wants to go to a roadside stall to drink beer!

Without waiting for him to speak further, Chen Jie's body flashed with light; the black garb reminiscent of ancient nightwear vanished, replaced by a modern T-shirt and casual pants, her hair loosening, instantly changing her style.

Seeing she had changed her clothes, Xiao Feng knew her mind was made up, unable to resist, he nodded and said: "Alright then... should we drive?"

"No, walking." Chen Jie refused, heading out the door.

The two exited the living room, walked along the community's road outward, their pace the same as ordinary people's, unhurried, like a stroll.

Along the way Chen Jie said nothing; Xiao Feng walked beside her, feeling as if he were alongside a ten-thousand-year-old ice block, deadly cold.

"How come you suddenly want to go to a roadside stall?" Xiao Feng casually brought up a topic.

He wanted to ask her for game news, but he first needed to lighten the mood; otherwise, a question‑and‑answer session would feel like interrogating a prisoner, and she would surely be unhappy.

This young lady is difficult to please, and her strength is absurdly strong; Xiao Feng usually stays calm with others, but now he feels a bit tense.

Chen Jie didn't answer, but countered: "Otherwise, I want to drink the wine you can't get."

This…

Xiao Feng had thought she would say: "I want to experience ordinary people's life."

Then he could easily strike up a conversation and chat with her.

Unexpectedly… sigh, this person really can't hold a conversation!

"Why the long face? I'm hard to get along with." Chen Jie noticed his gloom, the corner of her mouth twitching, and asked.

"It's a bit… ah, no, I don't mean that, I mean, just…"

Xiao Feng subconsciously blurted out something frank, then regretted it.

Fortunately Chen Jie wasn't angry, just saying lightly: "Don't be so nervous—I won't hit you. You're too weak; hitting you wouldn't be satisfying, it's boring."

Xiao Feng was instantly torn between laughter and tears.

Is this her way of showing friendliness?

But those words sound so harsh to hear!

Chatting with someone who can't converse is truly a torment…

"Sigh."

Xiao Feng sighed and said to her: "Talking with you really… the pressure is immense, and I have no idea how to get along with you."

She said she wouldn't hit him, so saying a few heartfelt words should be fine.

Hearing that, Chen Jie calmly said: "You can try to forget my strength and treat me as an ordinary person."

"Can't do it." Xiao Feng shook his head.

"Alright then…"

Chen Jie uttered a reply, then immediately fell silent, seeming somewhat disappointed.

She wanted to try living a few days as an ordinary person.

But as an unparalleled powerhouse, wanting to return to mundanity is also extremely difficult.
