The matter of ntal illness had almost been resolved.
Everyone imdiately continued with the feast.
The scene beca lively once again.
Yun Xi, having obtained so broken jade, was very happy and pulled Li Fan to accompany her in cutting squid, while Li Fan tied an apron for her.
"You're not cutting it right, let teach you..."
Li Fan instructed Yun Xi, who obediently learned and tried hard, but her cuts were still uneven and crooked, which made Li Fan unable to help but chuckle.
On the other side, people like Auntie Wang and Uncle Zhang were also busy, throwing big chunks of tuna into the pot to stew, and braising lobster as long as a forearm in oil...
The children gathered around the pot, looking forward in anticipation, while the elderly and Second Elder chatted boastfully about their young days of fishing at sea...
The scene was hugely spirited.
At this mont, however, no one was paying attention to Luo Xingchen.
But even so, his heart was no less fearful.
His old eyes beca increasingly shocked as he looked at the figures bustling about.
What realm was this place, exactly...
Even that unspeakable place of legend might not be able to accommodate so many heaven-defying forbidden existences…
He couldn't help but look towards Li Fan.
This terrifying, supre big shot was actually wearing an apron, cooking amidst the fireworks...
And that woman known as The End of Myriad Dao, at his side, clearly seed like a carefree girl, innocent and cheerful, with a smile so pure and kind.
By his side, her eyes were full of starlight.
"Is 'the one' you sought on the Ascendant Path in the past...him?"
At that mont, Luo Xingchen felt sowhat bewildered.
Up until now, that woman known as The End of Myriad Dao had without a doubt been the most powerful being in his heart.
She alone repressed the Grey Mist Sea, silencing it utterly; she slted Myriad Dao, scaring him enough to leave psychological scars; and finally, she resolutely stepped onto that perilous ancient path...
"Could it be that your current life perished on that path?"
"Perhaps, when you set out on that path, you already anticipated your own death? Thus, you seized us not only to guard the Evil Corpse but also to protect that jade, waiting for this life..."
"Is that jade...her contingency plan?"
He pondered.
"That peerless Empress who once dazzled for eons, who slaughtered her way through the Grey Mist Sea, this life, however, is just a naive young girl..."
Luo Xingchen muttered under his breath.
On one hand was the incomparable Empress from his mories, and on the other, the innocent and cheerful Yun Xi before his eyes right now. He felt strangely complicated inside and didn't know how to feel.
But no matter what he felt, at this mont he realized sothing.
If he wanted to live well in this village... he had to play the part of a madman.
Yes, from now on, he would be the village madman!
Not long after.
"Let's start the feast!"
The villagers, one by one, took their seats at the table, n and won, young and old, sitting together.
A stream of seafood dishes was served up, fresh and fragrant, mouthwatering.
"Let's eat, and let try so. I haven't had seafood in so many years..."
Second Elder picked up a piece of fish at, put it in his mouth, and as it lted instantly, he couldn't stop praising it!
"Hey, you co and eat too."
At the sa ti, he called out to Luo Xingchen.
Luo Xingchen, shocked and flattered by the invitation, thought to himself: am I, a re riffraff, qualified to sit at the sa table with such a group of prominent figures??
He nervously took a seat and just one look at the food on the table made him unsettled.
If he wasn't mistaken, these seafood items, before their death, were all Ash Mist Creatures...
Now, the Origin of the Grey Mist had been completely refined, turned into food for consumption!
As expected of a forbidden existence, feasting on Ash Mist Creatures...
He grew even more afraid. After all, he was an Ash Mist Creature too...
"Co on, try this, eat as much as you like, no one in the village will bully you today!"
Second Elder picked up a big piece of fish at and placed it in Luo Xingchen's bowl.
Luo Xingchen, having heard Second Elder say this, felt a bit more at ease, gritted his teeth, and decided to just start eating!
...
Elsewhere, Li Fan and his disciples gathered around a large table.
The table was laden with dishes, almost all of which were personally cooked by Li Fan.
Spicy fish head, sauerkraut fish, grilled conch, braised shrimp, garlic stead oysters, braised tuna, spiced scallops, spicy crab, stead turbot...
Irresistibly tempting!
"Master, that grilled conch looks so delicious, I want one!"
Zi Ling picked up a conch and started eating imdiately.
"This scallop is really good."
Su Baiqian and Nan Feng also enjoyed themselves.
Long Zixuan, Wu Dade, and a bunch of other male disciples ate ravenously; they had not eaten seafood before, and now they let loose.
"Xinning, here, have the fish head, eat more fish heads, and you'll get smarter."
Li Fan picked up a fish head and gave it to Xinning, who was utterly delighted and said:
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
"Da De, eat slower, you're almost eating the shrimp shells..."
Li Fan chuckled as he watched the group of disciples. He was quite happy too.
The inexplicable sadness and loneliness that had been stirred by the Red Dust Jade were completely diluted.
Being able to enjoy life's pleasures in this small mountain village with the disciples was a rare happiness...
"Right, bring over the original brew, and pour so for everyone."
Li Fan spoke.
Imdiately, Dugu Yuqing and Lin Jiu Zheng brought over several large jars of the original brew and distributed it among everyone present.
The hazy yellow and rich liquor poured out, and the area was instantly filled with the fragrance of alcohol.
"It slls so good!"
"I want a cup!"
Everyone was eager to get a taste of the original brew.
"It's delicious, it doesn't get to your head at all, so smooth and comfortable!"
Lu Rang took a big gulp and felt a pleasant flow throughout his body!
"Master, what kind of alcohol is this? It feels different from what we've had before."
Nan Feng asked curiously.
Li Fan smiled and said,
"This is draft beer, it's not as strong as spirits, but it has its own unique flavor."
"There's also so blueberry fruit beer, which is more suitable for the ladies. Da De, go and get it."
Wu Dade imdiately brought another jar and poured so for Yun Xi, Nan Feng, Zi Ling, and other girls. The purple fruit beer, with a faint aroma of alcohol and fruit, was imnsely liked by the group of girls.
"It's really tasty, with a hint of sweet freshness... I declare, the fruit beer brewed by Master is my favorite!"
Zi Ling's stunning face blushed with excitent.
"Indeed, it's very tasty!"
"This alcohol is llow, with a unique flavor."
Su Baiqian, Gong Ya, and others also liked it very much.
Yun Xi even lifted her fruit beer and said,
"Great Demon King, cheers!"
Li Fan smiled, raised his glass to toast with her, and then savored the draft beer.
All these drinks had been stored in the Ghostfang Cold Box; they were ice-cold and with an exceptional flavor, coupled with a table full of sumptuous seafood, to say it was comfortable was an understatent.
"Fool, that's not how you peel shrimp. Let help you."
Seeing Yun Xi struggling with the shrimp, Li Fan imdiately lent a hand, peeled the shrimp for her, placed the at in her bowl, and then picked up a couple of mantis shrimp, peeled off the shells, and got the at out, saying,
"The crab at is also delicious, try it."
Yun Xi happily ate, and after a while, she felt her tummy was slightly bulging. Suddenly, she realized that the Great Demon King had been peeling mantis shrimp and large shrimp for her the whole ti, without eating any himself...
"Great Demon King... you should eat too!"
She kept adding food to Li Fan's bowl, saying,
"Oysters, abalones... eat more!"
Li Fan looked at the oysters and abalones in his bowl and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Alright."
...
On the other side, Second Elder and others were much more unrestrained; they drank the original brew in large gulps, clinking cups frequently, munching on large lobsters, and drinking large cups of original brew, feeling utterly content.
Among this group of people, Luo Xingchen quietly drank a cup of original brew too, but the mont the brew hit his throat, he felt as if his entire body stiffened.
He felt that the Origin of the Grey Mist within him was being refined by the power contained in the alcohol!
He panicked—would his path be completely destroyed?
He was uneasy, but then he discovered that his cultivation level wasn't weakened; the Origin of the Grey Mist was actually replaced by a rich White Mist Origin!
Hisss!
Luo Xingchen took a sharp breath!
This was a miracle that could change heaven and earth!
It was well-known that he walked the Grey Mist Path, and the Origin of the Grey Mist had beco his foundation.
It was not to be stirred!
But one cup of alcohol had transford him, turning him directly into the White Mist Origin...
This was tantamount to recreating his past, reshaping his potential... changing his future path!
He trembled!
He truly trembled.
"There's no path for the White Mist; all who ascend in this world may eventually resort to the Origin of the Grey Mist, but now, the White Mist Origin actually sustains my cultivation?"
It was as if he had seen another world!
His forr self was like a frog in a well, ignorant of the vast sky.
He took a deep breath, shakily holding the original brew.
What he held was not just a cup of alcohol, but an extraordinary opportunity of a lifeti.
If the outside world knew, those peerless powerhouses in the Sea of Grey Mist would go mad, turning the world upside down for just a drop!
It might even attract the spying and coveting of beings from the path beyond.
He felt it was worth it, truly worth it.
Guarding for eons, all for this cup of alcohol, was an absolute bargain, truly!
"Drink up, why linger over such a small cup of alcohol? Are you raising fish here?"
anwhile, Second Elder was in high spirits, clinking glasses with him, "Down it!"
Luo Xingchen bit the bullet and downed it!
