Drinking to Their Hearts' Content

The next morning.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Several Zhang Family Disciple hurriedly left Xuanxiao Mountain with the clan token and boarded a spirit boat to head towards Yunhua Immortal City.

Before long, invitations bearing the Zhang Lineage seal were sent from the Xuanxiao Merchant Guild headquarters to its branches in various Immortal City.

With the help of the Chamber of Commerce's extensive trade routes throughout the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain, news that the Family General hold Clan Leader succession ceremony in three years spread rapidly.

At this moment, at the Profound Heaven Villa.

Zhang Xuanchen woke up from his sleep, his eyes still heavy with sleep.

At that moment, he felt completely refreshed.

I was up all night, but instead of feeling tired, I felt refreshed.

After a quick wash, I pushed open the door and went out.

The aroma of the food wafted over.

Inside the courtyard, Luo Lingshuang placed a steaming bowl of Spirit Rice on the stone table.

On the table were several plates of spiritual vegetables, steamed pastries, a plate of golden-fried Spirit Fish, and more than ten other delicacies.

They were all made using Second Stage- and Third Stage spiritual materials.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen's mouth watered. "Oh!"

This dish is wonderful today.

"Third Stage White Sprout Spirit Pig, braised pork knuckle, not bad, not bad."

Hearing the voice, Luo Lingshuang looked up at Zhang Xuanchen, her eyes smiling, and said:

"Finally up, come and eat."

"Great Sage, Little Peach, and Little Flame will be here soon."

"Okay."

Zhang Xuanchen responded and walked to the table to sit down.

Not long after I sat down, the area outside the courtyard became lively.

Zhang Dexiao and Zhang Deling arrived together, with Little Flame Huo following closely behind. Before even entering the door, Xiao Huo had already started calling out because of the aroma.

"Sister-in-law, give me a big basin!"

It's been so long since I've had your cooking, I have to feast this time!

As he was speaking, a golden light flashed past.

The Great Sage quickly grabbed a stone bench, his seat directly opposite the large pork knuckle.

He just likes this kind of food.

Little Peach Tao, carrying two jars of fruit wine, followed behind with a smile, saying, "Now that everyone's here, it's a good time to try my newly brewed Peach Blossom Brew."

I've been secretly working on this for over ten years, and even the Great Sage had no idea."

Luo Lingshuang said with a smile, "Alright, please sit down."

I brought over the last of the chicken soup.

Soon, everyone sat around the stone table.

Zhang Xuanchen took a sip of soup, looked at Zhang Dexiao who was picking up Spirit Fish, and asked:

"Xiao'er, where is Ni Xin'er?"

Why haven't I seen her in the clan?

Zhang Dexiao put down his chopsticks and replied:

"Father, Xin'er is preparing to break through her cultivation realm and returned to the Azure Nether Mountain Range a few days ago."

She said there was a suitable place in the clan for her to break through her cultivation level, and she would return once her cultivation was stable.

Zhang Xuanchen nodded.

"When making a breakthrough, it is indeed not advisable to be distracted."

Don't just focus on having fun, or you'll fall too far behind her later.

"Don't worry, Dad, I definitely won't let you down..."

Little Flame chuckled, "Just be diligent, and after a while..."

"Little Flame Uncle, I'll personally test you."

Zhang Dexiao's smile froze for a moment.

Am I going to get beaten up again?

Just as he was about to decline, Little Flame turned to look at Zhang Xuanchen and said:

"Boss, I heard you're going to the Central Land Immortal Continent in three years."

"Take me with you."

"That place has many powerful people; it must be lively."

Staying in the clan all the time is just too boring.

Zhang Xuanchen looked at it with a half-smile and reminded it:

"Hey kid, have you forgotten something?"

"What's up?"

"Your wife is still waiting for you to pick her up at the East Sea Dragon Court."

As he spoke, Zhang Xuanchen picked up a piece of Spirit Fish and said unhurriedly:

"We cannot go back on our word to the Dragon Court Lord."

Little Flame's movements of picking up food with chopsticks suddenly stopped.

Then, it slapped its head!

"Yes!"

"I almost forgot about that!"

Then, the Great Sage clutched his stomach and laughed out loud, "Good heavens, he went out for a trip and even forgot about his own wife!"

Your memory is really bad.

Zhang Dexiao couldn't help but laugh, "Uncle Little Flame, if this gets back to the Dragon Court, you'll be in trouble explaining yourself."

Upon hearing this, Little Flame glared at the two of them, her brows furrowing, "What do you mean 'forgot'?"

"I was busy with important business with the boss and didn't think of it for a moment!"

Besides, I am True Dragon.

Agreeing to marry the princess of Dragon Court was a blessing they had accumulated over many lifetimes.

If she follows me, she has a chance to advance to the True Dragon Blood.

How could it be difficult to explain?

"Then you've still forgotten?"

Little Flame tilted its head back, its expression full of smugness.

This may sound harsh, but it's the truth.

No one can refute that.

Zhang Xuanchen laughed:

"Alright, no matter how noble your bloodline is."

Since you've chosen to marry her, you must take responsibility to the end and not let her down.

This time, you should stay obediently on Xuanxiao Mountain.

"You have the heritage of the Fire Dragon Clan and the assistance of High-Rank Dragon Pearl, so you are not lacking in cultivation fortuitous opportunity."

What's lacking right now is the ability to calm down and truly digest these fortuitous opportunity.

After a pause, Zhang Xuanchen continued:

"Besides, the situation is constantly changing, and after I leave, someone from the Lineage will need to stay and take charge."

"With you here, I feel a little more at ease."

In recent years, I've made a trip to the East Sea Dragon Court to bring people back.

"Let's live a peaceful life for a while, and try to have a few little Little Dragon babies soon."

Little Flame stroked his chin, thought seriously for a moment, and nodded:

"Alright."

"I've traveled around a lot over the years, and I've really had my fill of fun."

It's good to be back to rest and digest.

He raised his glass, patted his chest, and said, "Boss, you can go without worry."

"With me watching over the Lineage, nothing bad will happen."

"I will also give pointers to Xiao'er and Xiao Tian on the Divine Dragon Hegemony Body Art when I have time."

If they dare to slack off, I'll clean it up for you!

Zhang Dexiao's chopsticks trembled.

How did things get so complicated that we ended up talking about ourselves again?

So you can't escape this beating, huh!

As soon as Little Flame finished speaking, Great Sage hurriedly interjected, "Xuan Chen, you absolutely have to take me with you this time."

"Although I also have a lineage, my progress is too slow due to spending all my time in seclusion and arduous cultivation."

"The skills of the Fighting God Monkey Clan must be demonstrated through fighting."

"Without experiencing true life-or-death battles, there are some things I simply can't understand, no matter how hard I try, and I'll never be able to break through them."

You absolutely have to take me with you this time.

Upon hearing this, Little Peach immediately raised her hand!

"Me too! Me too!"

As she spoke, she hugged Luo Lingshuang's arm and gently shook it twice.

"Sister Shuang, I want to go too!"

"Having stayed in the Lineage for so long, I also want to go and see the Central Land Immortal Continent."

Luo Lingshuang smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Okay, I'll take you with me."

After speaking, she looked up at Zhang Xuanchen.

Zhang Xuanchen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement:

"Alright, you two come with us."

The Great Sage was born into the Fighting God Monkey Clan. The more powerful the enemy he fought, the more the potential within his bloodline and heritage was unleashed.

Leaving it on Xuanxiao Mountain would only hinder its cultivation.

As for Little Peach, she's been in the clan for so long, it's time for her to go out and relax.

"However, the Central Land Immortal Continent is not like here."

Once you get there, don't rely on your skills to recklessly cause trouble, lest you get yourself into unnecessary problems.

Upon hearing this, Little Peach immediately assured her:

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, I definitely won't cause trouble."

The Great Sage also chimed in:

Me too!

Seeing his serious expression, Little Flame couldn't help but laugh out loud:

You? Don't cause trouble?

Haha, do you even believe that yourself?

"Eat your food!"

The Great Sage picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and a burst of laughter immediately filled the courtyard.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone left one after another.

Zhang Xuanchen helped Luo Lingshuang clear the dishes before speaking softly:

"Shuang'er, I'm preparing to go into seclusion."

"Unless something major happens in the next three years, do not disturb us."

"Ordinary clan matters can be discussed by Detian and a few elders."

Luo Lingshuang nodded.

"Alright, you can focus on your cultivation now."

"We've got your family."

Zhang Xuanchen patted her hand, said nothing more, and disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.
