Contrary to Le Yu's expectations, nothing special happened at the family banquet.
Even Jing Qingfu failed to show up, which let Le Yu breathe a sigh of relief—he had been impersonating Jing Zhengwei for over a month, yet he hadn't called him "Dad" even once. Can you believe it?
Jing Zhengwu, Jing Zhengfeng, and Jing Zhengtang had also attended today. Le Yu couldn't read anything from their faces—Jing Zhengwu was still as sarcastic as ever, Jing Zhengfeng still looked as though his father had just died, and Jing Zhengtang was still honestly listening to his fiancée.
After eating and drinking his fill, Le Yu took Qing Lan and left. Eating with this group of fat, brainless relatives made Le Yu feel short of breath if he stayed too long, as though those fatties had sucked all the air away.
Besides, there was no air conditioning in this era, and the weather had been scorching these past few days. Le Yu had even drunk several cups of iced Honey Five-Flower Tea. That was when the difference between the Qin Ri Body and the Ice-Blood Physique became apparent—the Ice-Blood Physique could block out all discomfort, including extreme cold and heat, but the Qin Ri Body had yet to reach such a state of being "immune to water and fire." This only strengthened Le Yu's resolve to find the Well of Gods and Devils and travel back.
Forget air conditioning—there weren't even electric fans. What kind of place was this? Could anyone actually live here?
These past few days, if not for his ice-silk pajamas and Qing Lan's relatively cool body, Le Yu felt he would have woken up sweating in the middle of the night.
In short, being around this bunch of fat relatives made Le Yu feel unbearably hot.
