After they chatted for a while, Bai Ling'er brought out the food.
There were nine plates in all, each piled with exquisite pastries and dishes. Their enticing colors were enough to make anyone swallow with hunger.
Seeing how thoughtful and domestic Bai Ling'er had become, Long Xiao felt deeply gratified.
To mark the occasion, he took out a jug of Immortal Wine and said to everyone, "Come on, let's have a few cups first."
The fragrance of the wine had Xiao Huohuo and the others practically drooling, and they cheered, "Big Brother is a walking treasure vault! I almost wish I were his woman."
Xiao Huohuo was the first to raise his cup and drain it, with Curly following close behind.
Long Xiao likewise downed his wine with gusto.
After just one cup, however, Zi Yan grew a little woozy. "Brother Long, how come your wine has even more energy than medicinal herbs? Mmm..."
Long Xiao patted her head. "You're a kid. Drink less and eat more. Your Sister Bai cooked all this herself."
The dazed Zi Yan snapped alert at those words. "No, I want wine! Brother Long, you should eat more."
Long Xiao was puzzled. Why was this girl acting so strangely?
"I broke through! Holy shit, this wine actually let me break through to Peak Dou Ling!" Xiao Huohuo suddenly shouted.
Curly's face and neck were flushed too. "I feel like my body's bursting with energy! I really want to find a lioness!"
He glanced at Zi Yan, then shook his head. Damn, this little tyrant has one powerful bloodline. No way.
Long Xiao rolled his eyes at them. "I've been gone this long, and you lot have barely improved. Keep it in, all of you."
Bai Ling'er also raised her cup and took a small sip.
