Realms In The Firmament

”What is wrong with the world…” Han Bingxue sighed. His clothes were white like snow, and his eyes looked sullen. ”I am such a handsome, generous, outstanding, charming, and imposing young lord… yet I am staying alone with the food and drinks to myself… Where is justice…”

…

The liquor was fine.

The cuisine was good.

It was the first time for some people to sit together at the same table and enjoy the same food and drinks!

Even though they all had prepared to sit together, they still felt stiff when seated with the others.

If Ye Clan didn’t hold the banquet, maybe Li Yunxuan, who was from Misty Cloud Palace, would never be able to have dinner with Yue Shuang and Yue Han of Qiong-Hua Palace.

She wasn’t qualified to!

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were roughly the same.

They were in almost equal positions in the martial world as the two sisters, and they were practically likewise powerful. They weren’t that much different after all, but they were men, while the sisters were women.

Everybody seemed to be quiet. Every word they said, they said it cautiously. The atmosphere was quite depressing around the table. Nobody dared to mention those sensitive topics, such as how the sisters changed their minds, why they did what they had done…

However, after the dinner, because of Yue Shuang and Yue Han’s behavior at the table, everybody felt that they were not like the ladies they heard about! [Are they truly Shuang and Han of Qiong-Hua Palace?] What a weird feeling…

The two ladies weren’t frosty, indifferent, distant… Not even a bit!

More surprisingly, they were just like two little girls who had just come to the society.

All superior cultivators in Qing-Yun Realm knew that the two ladies were pure-hearted and indifferent. They were indifferent because they didn’t care about anything of the martial world. They didn’t even care about the underlying social rules. Right and wrong, justice and injustice… they didn’t care. There were three reasons why they would become like this. First, Qiong-Hua Palace kept them away from the outside world all the time. Second, they didn’t like to relate to anything outside the world. Third, the martial art they cultivated made them to…

Although they were powerful and dominant in the world, they were always pure in the hearts.

However, what they showed had shocked everybody at the dinner table.

It actually opened everybody’s eyes!

”This one! It’s delicious.” Yue Shuang half closed her eyes and picked up a piece of sugar-lotus with the chopsticks. When she put it into her mouth, her eyes lit up with a strong light. Then she ate another piece. And then a third. She did enjoy the taste.

”It tastes so good indeed!” Yue Han ate a piece of it after her sister. She looked satisfied too.

”Aren’t you going to try one?” Yue Shuang looked at Ye Xiao, who was sitting between the two sisters. In her eyes, there was only affection. Deep in her eyes was a sweet obsession. ”Come on, try one.”

Then she picked one for Ye Xiao.

Zhan Yun Fei, Zhu Jiutian, and the others were twisting their mouths.

”Excellent choice! It does taste good.” Ye Xiao laughed and chewed hard. ”It is sweet but not greasy. It actually removes the greasy taste in the mouth that was left by the meat. Hmm. Lotus and the meat make a perfect match. It is the meat of a Land Dragon. It tastes good too. Try it.”

Then Ye Xiao picked a piece of Land Dragon meat and put it into Yue Shuang’s plate. Then he saw Yue Han pout, so he picked another piece and put it into Yue Han’s plate too.

The other four people froze immediately!

Ye Nantian’s mouth was quivering, and he felt stiff on the face. He looked at Ye Xiao as if looking at a god!

He nearly scolded aloud!

[You prick!]

[The lady put that into your plate because she was nice. Most importantly, she has a pure heart! She didn’t think of anything improper…]

[You are a man! How could you use the chopsticks of your own to pick the piece of food to the ladies?]

[You… actually did it to two ladies at the same time!]

[Weren’t you asking for troubles…]

[What if they are neat freaks? What if they don’t like your chopsticks, and they are mad about it…]

[Do you really think this is rare?]

[It would be a disaster…]

[Can’t you see the share chopsticks? You don’t even know manners at a table! That is embarrassing!]

[According to the story about the two ladies, they are very likely two neat freaks!]

[This is going to end terribly!]

[No, I can’t just sit and watch. A father should take responsibility for what his son has done. Well, what should I do… This is a problem!]

However, before Ye Nantian figured out what to do, Yue Shuang picked up the piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth without hesitation. As she chewed hard, she praised, ”It is chewy! It tastes like the cowbells we used to eat when we were kids…”

”That’s true! It is chewy indeed! Delicious!” Yue Han was chewing the meat in her mouth too. She looked satisfied in the eyes. ”Excellent taste!”

”Two more for you then! We should always feel free to eat when we are sitting with our families. Just don’t stop until you truly can’t eat anymore.” Ye Xiao smiled warmly, and then put two pieces into each of the ladies’ plates.

Everybody was shocked while watching Ye Xiao. He just kept ignoring the shared chopsticks and used his own to pick the food for the two ladies. After a while, the ladies’ plates were filled with different kinds of food.

The ladies didn’t feel anything wrong at all. They just kept putting different cuisines into their mouths, but they only ate those in their own plates and ignored all the other food on the table. They just looked satisfied and happy.

The others froze in confusion again!

”Just eat more if you feel like to. I think you two are too skinny…” Ye Xiao smiled. ”Girls should stay in good shapes, but not too much. It is always better to be a little bit overweight.”

Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian were terrified. [Holy sh*t! Little brother! You are too young and naive indeed! How could you mention that word which would definitely offend all female cultivators?]

[There are some common weaknesses of women. Words like overweight, fat, ugly… are never allowed to be mentioned! You have just offended the ladies deadly! You are asking for death!]

However, what happened next astonished them! They were totally stunned!

”We are in perfect shape! We don’t want to be overweight!” The two ladies rolled up their eyes at the same time to disagree. However, that was all they did. They just kept eating the food in their plates after responding with a few words.

”Urh…” Ye Nantian raised up his liquor bowl in the air and stayed still. He was apparently shocked. Then he grumbled, ”Please… Please…”

Nobody knew what he was asking!

Zhu Jiutian raised his bowl and tried to drink the liquor…

- Puff! -

He poured the liquor into his nose instead!
