After seeing Li Qiushui away, Li Xiuyuan simply closed the store door and walked towards the market with his hands behind his back.
While playing the piano last night, he realized that the tables he bought before were either too high or too short. He had to choose a suitable piano table. The night was long, and since he couldn't leave for the time being, he had to think of ways to pass the time.
The shop is still the same shop, and the shopkeeper is still the same shopkeeper. Li Xiuyuan explained the reason for his visit.
After choosing a suitable piano platform and buying a matching stool, I paid the spirit stone and walked out of the store with satisfaction. Today, he is going to find a restaurant to fill his stomach.
He couldn't guard the winery all day long, and he wouldn't wait until the business picked up.
After walking around, I came to a restaurant by the lake where I saw Chen Shanshan off last night. Seeing that the environment was good, I picked a table near the lake and sat down.
The sun is approaching dusk, and the sky is filled with clouds.
Sitting next to the lake, with the evening breeze blowing by, Xiuyuan felt like he was back at a small Taoist temple.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter in the store was extremely enthusiastic.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said casually: "A tofu and green vegetable soup, a pound of soy sauce beef, two plates of green vegetables... Let's make a pot of tea first."
"Wait a moment, sir, the tea will be brought to you soon." The waiter replied with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, he brought a pot of tea first.
Li Xiuyuan poured a cup of tea and took a sip. In her heart, she was thinking about where Chen Shanshan would go and whether she would encounter any danger on the way.
If he were Chen Chaofan, he would definitely have Li Guangming bring a team of people to greet him halfway. After all, he didn't bring back any news, so that meant there was something wrong.
Anyone with a non-pig brain can figure this out.
"Sir, your food is here, please use it slowly." Li Xiuyuan, who was in a daze, heard the waiter's greeting, looked at the food on the table, waved and smiled, "Sorry for the trouble."
"Please use it slowly." The guy replied matter-of-factly.
"Who am I talking about? I would actually enjoy it and come here to drink alone!"
Li Xiuyuan was stretching his chopsticks towards the sauced beef on the table when a woman's voice came from behind him. Turning around, he couldn't help but reply: "Didn't you say you were married? Why did you come to me?"
"What's wrong? I didn't drink well yesterday. I have to make up for it today!"
The person who came was none other than Huangfu Qingmei, followed by Ximen Guxing, who was dressed in a green shirt, five feet tall, had red lips and white teeth, and a fair face.
"What are you looking at? This is my fiancé, Ximen Guxing! Come and sit here, you are the master of Ding'an City, don't be afraid of this kid." Huangfu Qingmei sat down next to the table carelessly, and took Ximen Guxing's hand. Bundle.
"That's right! He has a beautiful face and is a talented person. I already knew about this. Someone came to my door asking for a drink and told me..."
Since Chen Shanshan was not harmed, Li Xiuyuan didn't bother to argue with Ximen Lone Star. Seeing him following Huangfu Qingmei like a mouse meeting a cat was a punishment from God.
"Can you speak? A beautiful face is used to describe a woman. Do you believe that I will buy out your wine shop?"
Huangfu Qingmei turned her head and glanced at Huangfu Lone Star. She couldn't help but laugh so hard that her branches trembled and she kept giggling.
Facing this uninvited guest, Li Xiuyuan, who had a headache, had to ask the waiter to add a few more dishes, then looked at the two of them and asked: "I'm just bored in the store... you two We just got engaged, why don’t you stay well at the City Lord’s Mansion?”
"Go, don't try to avoid the topic, bring out the wine quickly." Huangfu Qingmei looked at him and shouted impatiently, not thinking that Li Xiuyuan was a young man, but he became her buddy in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiuyuan could only sigh helplessly, took a small pot of wine and put it on the table.
Then he looked at the two of them and said, "I'm going out. I didn't bring any wine with me, so I'll just take a few sips."
When Huangfu Qingmei saw it, he grabbed it, poured a cup into the cup, and took a sip.
Suddenly he frowned, patted the table and asked: "Is this wine? Where is the wine I drank yesterday? Take it out quickly, I am not short of money!"
"Don't bother me, I want to be quiet! Do you think you can drink any kind of wine? You drank the last few glasses yesterday. If you want to drink it, I will bring you a thousand-year-old elixir next spring... "
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "Who are you?" Why should I spoil you? I'm not a monk from Ding'an City. Don't make me angry.
Huangfu Qingmei was stunned, she had really forgotten about this. When he thought of this, he looked at Ximen Lone Star with embarrassment and said, "I was deceived by this guy. You have to wait until next year to break through..."
After some narration, he told Ximen Lone Star what happened in Li Xiuyuan's store yesterday.
After watching the two yelling for a long time, Ximen Lone Star finally understood the relationship between the two, and also understood that Li Xiuyuan's medicinal wine actually made the witch in front of him break through the realm overnight, and now he can't even defeat her.
Thinking of this, Ximen Lone Star sighed in a low voice: "Brother, this is a divine wine!"
Li Xiuyuan didn't accept his words. He looked at him and replied calmly: "I'm not familiar with you. Even she owes me wine money. If you keep talking, the wine will be gone."
"Why are you so eloquent? I didn't see you so eloquent yesterday? You didn't ask for money when you invited me to drink? Are you going to collect debt from me now?"
Huangfu Qingmei looked at Li Xiuyuan, stared at him fiercely and replied.
Li Xiuyuan was delighted, looked at her and replied: "It's not like you don't have eyes. My non-spiritual wine costs ten spiritual stones. The wine you drank last night costs at least a hundred spiritual stones." One cup!”
Huangfu Qingmei glared at him fiercely, poured a glass of wine for Ximen Lone Star, and then said: "Try the wine this guy made. Your wine is just water. I say Shura, you have to change this attitude. Calm down, this is Ding'an City."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, made himself a bowl of tofu and vegetable soup, and took a sip.
Looking at her, she replied, "I know, aren't you just threatening me! Believe it or not, I will close this store tomorrow, and I will run to the Great Wall to open..."
"Then you must protect yourself. I might destroy the Great Wall in a few days."
How could Huangfu Qingmei believe Li Xiuyuan's words? She was busy picking up food for Ximen Lone Star while quarreling with Li Xiuyuan.
"Then do you believe it or not! There are always some places in this world that are inaccessible to wild people, and I can go..." Li Xiuyuan thought in his heart. In another year and a half, I will leave with my butt, where are you going? Looking for me? "
Not to mention her Huangfu Qingmei, even Chen Chaofan in the Great Wall can't control her. Because I don’t belong to any party in this world at all. If you fight to the death, what does it have to do with me?
Even if his identity is traced, he is just a casual cultivator who does not belong to any party, and he can come and go freely without restriction.
Unlike monks like Zhao Ping'an, before leaving the Great Wall, they either went to the wilderness three times to complete tasks, or had Chen Chaofan's permission to let them go.
Otherwise, no one would be able to leave Tiannan City.
Ximen Lone Star was holding the wine glass. After just one sip, he immediately opened his eyes wide and drank the wine in one gulp. He picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass.
Then he looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Then you do have the right to be proud. This wine should only be found in the sky. I, Ximen Lone Star, have never drunk it."
When Huangfu Qingmei heard this, she immediately looked at him with disgust, curled her lips and replied: "Look at your potential, isn't it just a jug of wine? When I find the thousand-year-old elixir next spring, let this kid brew a jug of wine. , I guarantee you will break through the second realm in a row."
Li Xiuyuan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and he lowered his head and ate his food seriously.
He now somewhat understands why Ximen Lone Star would rather steal a commoner girl to get married than marry Huangfu Qingmei. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have gone crazy a few times.
On the top of the willow tree in the moonlight, people meet at dusk.
After filling his stomach, Li Xiuyuan looked at Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Guxing who were still filled with interest and said: "If you want to drink poison, bring the spirit stones over tomorrow. Ten spirit stones per cup. Others have a limit. I will give you three cups."
Ximen Lone Star opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Li Xiuyuan in front of him, and asked in disbelief: "What kind of wine costs ten spiritual stones for a cup?"
"Why don't you believe it? Ask the person in front of you. The wine she drank yesterday was something you couldn't buy for even ten spirit stones... I clearly marked the price, and I wasn't buying or selling by force."
Li Xiuyuan thought he was full, so he planned to go home and make a pot of tea to eat. After all, the tea and water here are not as good as Ruyi in his own store.
"Little brother, can I go find you tomorrow?" Ximen Guxing glanced at Huangfu Qingmei and asked timidly with Li Xiuyuan.
"What's wrong? I'm open for business. Anyone with a spiritual stone is an uncle. It's not too late for me to welcome you." Li Xiuyuan looked at him and laughed. "Be like a man, be more generous, and stop being afraid of women."
"You are amazing! Now you have actually learned to care about others?" Huangfu Qingmei looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile.
Ximen Lone Star thought about what Li Xiuyuan said, looked at his woman, and couldn't say a word for a long time. There was no way, no matter whether it was hard or soft, he was no match for Huangfu Qingmei. Ever since the two of them had been playing together, he had never been able to defeat the witch in front of him.
"It's necessary." Li Xiuyuan smiled honestly.
Huangfu Qingmei stared at Li Xiuyuan's eyes for a long time before asking: "Did you rescue the woman in the prison? Where did you go last night? Be honest!"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and couldn't help but laugh. He thought that it was true that he was not a member of the same family. He was collecting debts for Ximen Lone Star before he got married.
"Don't you know where I am? You drank my wine, listened to my piano, and drank my porridge in the morning. I will give you a detailed account, three cups of elixir and three hundred spirit stones... .... I’ll give you a discount, a total of five hundred spirit stones.”
When it comes to having a dark heart, Li Xiuyuan has never been afraid of anyone.
Although my cultivation level is not as high as yours, I have talisman arrows! I have an invisibility cloak and an invisibility charm! As long as you don't transcend the ordinary world, can you still try to embarrass me with your cultivation in the Shattering Void Realm?
Believe it or not, I will turn your Ding'an city into a hell on earth overnight? !
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh coldly: "I've invited you to this meal. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do in the future. I'm a serious businessman, not a killer!"
After saying that, he stood up and left, not even taking the wine bottle on the table.
Walking to the waiter, Li Gouyuan threw two spiritual stones to him: "No need to look for it!"
Before Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Guxing came to their senses, Li Xiuyuan had already left their sight and disappeared into the vast night.
"Sir, please come on!" The waiter looked at the spiritual stone in his hand, but his face was full of smiles. This meal was less than one spiritual stone.
"Oh! You scared him!" Looking at Huangfu Qingmei, Ximen Lone Star murmured: "I can see that that guy is not a bad person!"
Huangfu Qingmei's face was covered with black lines. She looked at him and said with a smile: "What the hell do you know! Will he be frightened by you? Let me tell you, this kid is a master who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger."
Like a thunderclap exploding over Ximen Lone Star's head, it was like he saw Huangfu Qingmei for the first time today. After a while, he said softly: "He is right. He is not familiar with us, so there is no need to wait on him."
"Boom!" There was a thunder, this time it was real summer thunder. As the thunder started, it started to rain heavily. Seeing that the two of them could not leave properly.
Huangfu Qingmei looked at the sudden rainstorm and smiled coldly: "You should believe it now, right? This guy is a monster... Don't be afraid, I will go drink with you tomorrow, but I won't believe it." ."
