Chapter 25: The Immortal Intoxication Restaurant

“Daddy, look! It’s so beautiful!”

The moment they entered the Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom, Lu Qingyun pointed at the sky with great excitement.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw countless Seven-Colored Bees dancing through the heavens, creating a dazzling sight.

They were called Seven-Colored Bees because the surface of their bodies constantly shifted through seven different colors.

“Daddy, I want to ride one!”

Lu Qingyun clung to Lu Xunxian and acted coquettishly. After all, those plump, brightly colored Seven-Colored Bees were irresistibly charming to a little girl like her.

Lu Xiaoyao at the side was unwilling to be outdone.

“Dad, I want one too.”

“All right, all right. You will both get one. let's go line up first.”

Though Lu Xunxian was immensely powerful, he would never use his strength to bully others. So he brought the two little ones over and stood in line.

Within the Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom, Seven-Colored Bees could naturally be used as mounts, and there was no shortage of shops that rented them out for rides.

While Lu Xunxian was lining up with the two little ones, Chen Wangu had already very conscientiously gone off to find a place for them to stay.

After all, if they were going to remain in the Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom for ten days, they needed somewhere to sleep.

Although the two little ones no longer needed sleep, Lu Xunxian still insisted that they sleep at night.

There was no special reason for it.

Lu Xunxian simply felt that if one never slept, day or night, then what would one still have in common with ordinary human beings?

Cultivation was meant to make one stronger, yes, but if one lost the very identity of being human, then it all became rather dull.

Very soon, Chen Wangu found a fairly decent inn within the Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom and booked three private rooms in one go.

One for himself, one for Lu Xunxian and his family, and one for Wangcai and the White Jade Horse.

After settling the lodging arrangements, Chen Wangu returned to where they had been earlier, only to find Lu Xunxian’s whole family each seated atop a Seven-Colored Bee, enjoying themselves happily together.

At the sight of that scene, Chen Wangu felt his heart stir with temptation, so much so that he almost wanted to become a bee rider himself.

But mindful of his status, he ultimately chose to change his appearance first before climbing onto a Seven-Colored Bee of his own.

That said, the feeling of riding a Seven-Colored Bee really was comfortable. It was soft and springy, almost like getting a massage.

It was just a pity that they were not very fast. They were slower than cultivators of the same realm flying on their own, and their appearance did not look imposing enough.

Because of that, not too many cultivators chose them as mounts.

Very soon, the day of sightseeing came to an end.

After the day’s fun was over, Lu Xunxian looked toward Chen Wangu.

“What is it?” Chen Wangu asked, looking puzzled.

“Food. Did you not arrange somewhere for us to eat?”

Lu Xunxian looked at him in confusion.

“Oh, that. You should have said so earlier. Of course I arranged it.”

“But speaking of it, do you all still need to eat?”

Chen Wangu felt a little helpless. After all, by all rights, once a cultivator reached the Shedding Mortality Realm, there was no longer any need to eat.

Ordinary cultivators also rarely ate, because they wished to avoid impurities building up in their bodies, save for a very few exceptions.

Fortunately, Chen Wangu had made preparations in advance.

Even if Lu Xunxian did not end up needing it, it was still better to have arranged it beforehand than to be caught unprepared when it was needed.

So before long, the group arrived at the most famous restaurant in the Seven-Colored Bee Kingdom.

The Immortal Intoxication Restaurant.

Looking at the bustling restaurant before him, Chen Wangu revealed a trace of pride and said, “The Immortal Intoxication Restaurant is renowned throughout the entire Tiansheng Continent. It is said that even immortals would get drunk from the fine wine here.”

“But what it is most famous for is its cuisine.”

“It is said that the head chef of the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant inherited the legacy of a Food Immortal, so the dishes he makes are not only delicious, but can even aid one’s cultivation.”

But when he reached the end, disappointment inevitably appeared on Chen Wangu’s face.

“It is just a pity that it is of little use to Saint Emperors like us.”

“But later, Old Lu, you have to drink heartily with me.”

Chen Wangu’s thinking was simple. If he could not beat Lu Xunxian in a fight, then he ought to be able to beat him in drinking, at least.

One had to know that back in the day, he had relied on his alcohol tolerance to drink several Saint Emperors under the table.

At the thought of finally winning back a little face in front of Lu Xunxian, Chen Wangu could not help laughing out loud.

Seeing Chen Wangu suddenly laugh to himself, Lu Qingyun curiously tugged on her father’s hand.

“Daddy, what’s wrong with Uncle Chen?”

“Nothing. Perhaps this restaurant is very hard to book.”

Lu Xunxian shook his head. What Chen Wangu probably did not know was that the current Lu Xunxian was no longer someone who could be casually drunk into collapse.

Not to mention one Lu Xunxian—even if everyone in the entire Tiansheng Continent took turns drinking against him, they still could not drink him under the table.

Before long, after entering the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant, Chen Wangu reported his name, and the waiter’s expression immediately turned respectful.

“Chairman Chen, please come with me.”

At once, the waiter respectfully led Chen Wangu and the others to a private room.

After entering, Lu Xunxian asked curiously, “They know you?”

Chen Wangu had been waiting for exactly this question. A proud expression immediately appeared on his face.

“Of course. I am on very good terms with the owner of the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant, so there has always been a private room here reserved for me.”

“Otherwise, even if you lined up for three days, you still might not get a meal here.”

“I see.”

Lu Xunxian nodded thoughtfully, but did not show much reaction.

Chen Wangu stared, dumbfounded.

Brother, were you not supposed to at least look a little shocked?

But on second thought, it all made perfect sense.

This fellow was simply too powerful. There was probably no one in the entire Tiansheng Continent who could defeat him.

If Old Xu was not already close with him, Lu Xunxian could probably beat him until he became close.

“Achoo! Who is talking about me behind my back?”

Beneath the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant was a Cave Dwelling, which was precisely where its owner cultivated in Seclusion.

Although the spiritual cuisine made by the head chef of the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant had no effect on Saint Emperors, there was no shortage of Saint Emperors who wanted to seize the place and control its head chef for their own profit.

Therefore, the owner of the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant had to possess extremely great strength in order to protect its head chef.

The owner of the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant was named Xu Tianxian, a genuine expert of the Late Saint Emperor Realm.

At that very moment, he was in Seclusion, attempting to break through to the Ascension Realm, when he opened his eyes with some irritation after sneezing.

He was a Saint Emperor. Why in the world would he suddenly sneeze for no reason? Someone was probably talking about him behind his back.

Xu Tianxian did not pay too much attention to this small interruption. After steadying his mind, he was just about to resume cultivating.

But at that moment, a voice rang out in his mind.

“Proprietor, Chairman Chen has arrived with several friends.”

“What?!”

Xu Tianxian instantly could not remain seated. He no longer cared about cultivating and hurriedly left Seclusion at once.

There was no other reason.

His relationship with Chen Wangu was extremely close.

And fifty years ago, Chen Wangu had told him that he was going into Seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the Ascension Realm. Now that he had come to the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant, then he had most likely succeeded.
