Chapter 396 features wine, stories, and delicious food...
Shuiyue took small bites of the apple, chewing slowly and savoring its sweet juice.
As a result, when she turned her head, she found that the Lord of Sunset City and the Lord of Snow Night City had already eaten all the fruits. The alluring woman couldn't help but say disdainfully, "Such exquisite delicacies have been wasted by you! You don't know how to appreciate them at all! Humph!"
"Cough cough..."
Feeling looked down upon by the beautiful woman, the two exchanged a glance and immediately blushed.
Looking down, he saw that half of the bamboo basket he was carrying was indeed missing.
The main thing is that this fruit is so delicious that you can't stop eating it once you start.
"Hurry up, the storytelling of 'Snowy Mountain' is about to begin!" The three of them were eating fruit and looking around for something good when they suddenly saw a group of people rushing towards the food court.
If you look closely, you'll notice that most of them are also holding a book.
"What happened?" Shuiyue glanced curiously in the direction of the food court.
Lord Xueye also looked at the food pavilion and said with a smile, "Let's go and take a look together."
Soon, the three of them followed the flow of people into the food court.
"This place is different from yesterday; it has changed a lot."
Lord Xueye brought his daughter to the Food Hall every day, but was surprised to find that the first floor of the Food Hall had several dozen square meters more open space than yesterday, and a platform about 30cm high had appeared in this open space.
A banner was hung on the stage, which read "The First Lesson of the Story of 'In the Snow'".
The background depicts a young man wielding a long sword, speeding across the snow.
The young man was very handsome, had a commanding presence, and exuded a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air about him.
In the center of the podium, there was a long wooden table and a grand master chair.
"The Snow Swordsman?" Upon seeing this, the Snow Night City Lord's eyes lit up.
When he went to the ice cream shop before, he noticed that there were hundreds of people reading books again today.
Because the Lord of Dragon City has released a new book, titled "The Snow Sword".
However, the Lord of Snowy Night City was busy guiding the Lord of Sunset City and his companion at the time and didn't have time to see it.
It seems the Lord of Dragon City has come up with a new trick.
Thinking of this, Lord Xueye City instantly became expectant and quickly found a seat.
clang!
At that moment, a gavel was struck heavily.
The bustling food court suddenly fell silent.
Everyone perked up and looked toward the source of the sound.
Suddenly, an old man was sitting upright on the platform.
The old man had a shiny bald head and a flowing white beard.
Although his strength wasn't that great, he had a commanding presence; in short, he was quite intimidating.
The old madman glanced around the room, stroked his white beard, and asked in return, "What is the Jianghu?"
"Will it be sword fights? Making many friends and standing up for your brothers, or righting wrongs and fighting in the martial world? Or will it be traveling with your best friends, singing and dancing? Or will it be living alone as a solitary knight-errant?"
The old madman's voice was already hoarse and weathered, with a distinctly江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) feel.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was immediately intrigued.
Even... many people couldn't understand it at all, but they couldn't help clapping and cheering.
Many others, having experienced the vicissitudes of life, lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
clang!
At this moment, the gavel struck again, pulling the contemplative crowd back to reality.
Today, we'll tell a story about the martial arts world...
The old madman stroked his white beard again, feigning profundity, and said, "So, this is the story of a spoiled young master's rise to power, and it begins with an old Taoist priest's arrival at the Prince's mansion..."
As the old madman began his sermon, the crowd below became quite excited.
The current apocalypse is not the world view of a martial arts drama.
However, as a master once said, wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.
Or rather, the martial arts world is a chaotic world, and the apocalypse is naturally also a martial arts world.
"Good! Good job serving wine, waiter! Good job bringing home the young master!"
Hearing the heightened emotions, the Snow Night City Lord couldn't help but nod repeatedly and clap his hands in approval.
On the other side of the table, both the Sunset City Lord and the Water Moon City Lord had their eyes gleaming.
Lord Xueye had at least read a few novels, so he already had some immunity to them.
These two muscle-bound bastards only think about fighting, killing, and stealing.
I've never read any online novels that existed before the apocalypse.
Not to mention, the story in the book is unpredictable and extremely exciting, making it impossible to put down.
Especially that line, "Waiter, bring the wine!" and "The young master has returned home!"
These words exuded a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world).
What kind of feeling is that?
Heroes from all over the world gather in the martial world, where the true meaning of the martial world lies amidst the clash of swords and shadows.
A vast expanse of sea and sky, lofty ambitions in the martial world, with only swords and blades as companions.
Even the Sunset City Lord, whose heart was only set on profit, suddenly felt a sense of uninhibited and carefree attitude after listening to the story.
He even unconsciously reflected on the awful things he had done over the years.
When he was young, he once dreamed of becoming a hero and protecting others...
But when did he become the very thing he used to hate and despise the most?
"How can such a heroic and ambitious story be complete without wine?" Lord Xueye couldn't help but exclaim.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw his subordinates bring over a plate and respectfully place it on his table.
Above is an exquisitely crafted little wine pot, and a plate of roasted peanuts.
"My lord, these are the newest wines from the gourmet restaurant, along with some roasted peanuts..."
Upon seeing these items, Lord Xueye's eyes lit up immediately, and he picked up the wine jug and took a big gulp.
As a spicy sensation washes over you, a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, a world of martial arts and chivalry) arises spontaneously.
Lord Xueye picked up the fried peanuts on the table, peeled them, and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Hmm, these peanuts are quite good, they have a unique flavor." I've had my share of drinking and eating peanuts in the VIP private room at the previous restaurant, but the taste and feeling are completely different from this one.
"There's wine, stories, and delicious food..."
"What more could one ask for in life than this! Hahaha..."
The Sunset City Lord, standing nearby, was immediately drawn to the rich and fragrant monkey wine the moment the Snow Night City Lord opened the wine jug to drink.
Otherwise, if he were wary of the other party's strength, he would have already taken action to rob them.
"Lord Snow Night, what is this good stuff? Can I have a sip?" In the end, Lord Sunset City could only tentatively ask.
There's no way around it, this stuff is just too tempting.
The Lord of Hozuki Castle also looked over expectantly, and subconsciously licked his lips.
This smells so good, how delicious must it be?
If it weren't for the fact that she is a woman and doesn't like touching things that other people have touched, she wouldn't be in such a situation.
She also wanted the Lord of Snow Night City to give her a sip.
"If you want to drink, go buy it yourself!" Lord Xueye said warily, clutching the wine jug to his chest.
They seemed afraid that the two of them might act impulsively and start robbing.
My subordinate just said that there isn't much of this monkey wine available; it's rationed.
It wasn't that Xiao Yu didn't want to sell more; it was just that the fruit supply was limited, and the little monkey needed time to brew wine.
The wines sold to the public now are all one-year vintages, with the most expensive being only five years old!
"Hmph! Stingy!" Upon hearing this, the Sunset City Lord curled his lip and beckoned to his subordinates.
The senior staff immediately went to the counter to buy it.
The Lord of Hozuki Castle did the same, sending people to purchase it.
Soon, both of them had a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts in their hands.
It was my first time drinking alcohol, and I wasn't quite used to it.
However, like the Lord of Snow Night City, the two had been fighting for many years and were covered in old wounds.
As the alcohol spreads throughout the body.
The old wounds that had once tormented them were instantly relieved.
I felt completely relaxed and mentally at ease.
Both of them were immediately impressed; this thing... was simply amazing.
"Listening to a story, taking a sip of wine, and eating a few peanuts—that's life!"
