Chapter 156: No Woman Can Resist the Temptation of a Bag, and Yaoyue Is No Exception!
Although the Dragon-Protecting Villa can be described as an iron bucket, with Palace Master Yaoyue's ability, wanting to enter the Dragon-Protecting Villa without alarming others is not a difficult thing!
With a leap, the graceful Yaoyue arrived at Li Lianhua's door!
"Palace Master, come in and sit for a while?" Li Lianhua opened the door to invite her!
Hesitating for a moment, although it is not very pleasant to be a man and a woman in the same room in the middle of the night.
However, Yaoyue still walked in!
Li Lianhua picked up the teapot, preparing to brew a pot of tea for Yaoyue; after all, since Yaoyue came here this time to deliver the consultation fee, Li Lianhua was naturally quite enthusiastic in entertaining guests!
"Tea should be drunk at sunrise, and wine should be sipped under the moon!" Watching Li Lianhua fiddling with the teapot, Yaoyue said!
"You want to drink wine?" Hearing what Yaoyue said, Li Lianhua was naturally very willing to satisfy her little request!
After clearing the things off the table, Li Lianhua looked at Yaoyue and smiled: "Palace Master Yaoyue, how about I perform a magic trick for you?"
"A magic trick?"
Hearing this, Yaoyue looked curious and nodded, saying: "I didn't expect Divine Doctor Li to know how to perform magic tricks? Then I must take a good look!"
"With wine but no food, it is naturally not beautiful. I wonder what Palace Master Yaoyue would like to eat?" Li Lianhua asked!
"Me? Just a simple catty of braised beef and a plate of deep-fried peanuts will do!" Hearing Li Lianhua's question, Yaoyue pondered for a moment and replied.
Having said that, she paused slightly and added: "Also, Divine Doctor Li can call me Yaoyue; you don't have to call me Palace Master!"
"Then Yaoyue, you don't have to call me Divine Doctor either; just call me Li Lianhua directly!"
Li Lianhua nodded and then asked Yaoyue to turn her back!
Turn her back? Hearing what Li Lianhua said, Yaoyue felt curious in her heart.
Could it be that he could conjure up braised beef and peanuts for her on the spot?
However, with curiosity and expectation in her heart, Yaoyue turned around quite obediently!
Watching Yaoyue turn her back to him, Li Lianhua took the Gourmet Tablecloth out of his storage ring and spread it on the table before him.
Then, he ordered a plate of braised beef, a plate of deep-fried peanuts, and after thinking about it, added a plate of braised chicken feet.
Feeling it was enough, he took out a jar of Zhuangyuan Red wine he had kept in his storage ring!
It is a pity that this Gourmet Tablecloth can only order food, but not wine or drinks, so he had prepared some wine in his storage ring!
Also worth mentioning is that ancient wine is almost all brewed from grain and has not been distilled, so it is generally sweet and mild, not as strong as modern white spirits!
"Alright, Yaoyue, you can turn around now!"
From start to finish, it took no more than ten breaths, and Li Lianhua said to Yaoyue!
Hearing this, Yaoyue turned around and immediately saw that not only was the tablecloth spread on the table, but a jar of fine wine and even several side dishes were set out.
Especially the braised beef and peanuts she had ordered were really there.
This made Yaoyue widen her eyes, looking at Li Lianhua in disbelief: "How did you take these things out?"
"Alright, sit down!" Regarding Yaoyue's surprised look, Li Lianhua just smiled slightly and gestured for her to sit!
"No, just a moment ago, how exactly did you conjure them out?"
Hearing Li Lianhua's words, Yaoyue sat down at the table, but looking at the fine wine and small dishes before her, Yaoyue still felt incomparably surprised!
How long had it been since she turned around? The wine and food were already prepared?
Even a modern person who has seen many magicians perform magic tricks would be incomparably surprised, let alone someone in this Comprehensive Martial Arts World!
"This, can be considered a little secret of mine. In short, no matter what I want to eat, I can conjure it up with a magic trick!"
Li Lianhua had no intention of explaining, instead appearing unfathomable!
Although the function of this Gourmet Tablecloth wouldn't matter even if it were exposed!
However, sometimes when interacting with the opposite sex, one doesn't have to be honest about everything; retaining some mystery is also not bad!
Seeing Li Lianhua acting so mysterious, Yaoyue became even more curious and wanted to figure it out!
But since he said it was a secret and didn't want to talk about it, Yaoyue couldn't pry, so she could only sit before Li Lianhua with curiosity!
Specially not bringing Lianxing along this time, Yaoyue quite enjoyed the time alone with Li Lianhua!
The two drank wine, ate small dishes, and chatted, feeling the atmosphere was very relaxed, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years!
Yaoyue would chat about the Yihua Palace, and Li Lianhua would chat about his own affairs.
Thus, after about half an hour, Li Lianhua and Yaoyue both felt they were seven or eight parts drunk.
Yaoyue took a stack of banknotes from her bosom and sent them before Li Lianhua!
Li Lianhua reached out to take them, but didn't count them; instead, he grabbed this handful of banknotes that Yaoyue had taken from her bosom, sniffed them at the tip of his nose, and exclaimed: "So fragrant!"
Seeing Li Lianhua's action, Yaoyue's face turned red and hot, not knowing if it was because of shyness or the alcohol!
"Li Lianhua, you, you..."
Pointing at Li Lianhua with her finger, Yaoyue felt three parts shyness, three parts anger, but also a few parts secret joy in her heart; she felt a mix of emotions.
The words she wanted to scold him with—calling him a lecher—were stuck in her throat and couldn't come out.
"Alright, don't be angry. I was reckless just now. Shall I give you a treasure as an apology?"
Seeing Yaoyue's look of three-part anger, Li Lianhua also came to his senses; he was seven or eight parts drunk, and his actions just now were indeed too abrupt!
If it were in the modern era, a man and a woman drinking together, even holding hands or putting an arm around a shoulder wouldn't be a big deal!
But in this ancient time, with the strict separation of men and women, his actions just now were indeed too inappropriate!
"A treasure?" Hearing this, Yaoyue was successfully distracted and looked at Li Lianhua with an inquiring look!
What kind of good thing could be called a treasure by him?
"Here, I have a storage bag. This is a very, very precious thing of mine. I'll give it to you as an apology!"
Li Lianhua took out an exquisite pink small cloth bag and sent it before Yaoyue!
If one talks about preciousness, things opened from treasure chests are all precious, right?
As for value? With a storage ring that has the capacity of a palace, this storage bag that only has the space of a large box naturally became a "chicken rib."
Not to mention it was a very feminine pink storage bag.
However, even for Li Lianhua, it already belonged to a discarded prop!
But, with a storage space the size of a large box inside, for Jiang Hu people, carrying some silver, water, food, weapons, or even a change of clothes, etc.
It is still very convenient, and it saves one from starving in the wilderness, right?
"A storage bag? Such a small bag, for storage?" Yaoyue's cheeks were still red, and she took this palm-sized pink storage bag, questioning him unceremoniously!
Yes, such a small bag, only palm-sized; at most it could hold a few taels of broken silver and a few pills. Does this count as storage?
"Don't look at it as small; it has a lot of space inside. If you don't believe me, take a look yourself!" Li Lianhua shook his head at Yaoyue's words!
"Oh? Is that so? Let me see..." Hearing this, Yaoyue rolled her eyes at Li Lianhua. ===== CHAPTER 158 =====
