Yun Che Give Up on Xiao Lingxi
🕑 Added 2024-12-26 19:35:58 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 303 ---
After the reunion, everyone sat down in the VVIP chamber in the Little Butterfly Garden. Not surprisingly, Yun Xiao and Number Seven were long-term customers of this restaurant.
The Little Butterfly Garden is considered one of the best restaurants in the Demon Imperial City. The food here is 'skillfully' made with high-end ingredients like Sky Profound Beast's meat and century-old spices and herbs.
"Aunt, please order any food you want." Yun Xiao said with a smile. "Think of it as a greeting gift for you."
Xiao Lingxi felt weird when Yun Xiao called her "Aunt" because they were around the same age. Not to mention, she was used to hearing Yun Che calling her "Little Aunt" all this time.
Xiao Lingxi coughed and said with a somewhat wise tone, "Xiao An, you should call me Little Aunt like Xiao Che. Even though we know each other just today, we are family."
"Then, Little Aunt, please order your food. Don't hold back." Yun Xiao nodded warmly. He also felt a connection with this aunt of his.
Surprisingly, Yona snatched the menu before Xiao Lingxi could grab it and said, "I want one of each dish."
"..." Xiao Lingxi.
"..." Yun Xiao.
Chu Yueli, Yun Che, and Number Seven were 'similarly' astonished by Yona's brazen order.
Yun Xiao's heart bled. Although he and Number Seven frequently visited the Little Butterfly Garden, it doesn't mean he could afford everything on the menu. His pocket money as the Yun Family's young master is enough to eat a few times a month.
But the whole menu? Yun Xiao might as well do dishes in the kitchen for a month.
Chu Yueli patted her forehead helplessly, 'This fellow never ceases to worry me.'
She rubbed the interspatial ring on her finger and threw an object at Yun Xiao, which the latter caught awkwardly.
Number Seven was alerted, staring at the diamond-shaped gem in Yun Xiao's hand warily, but her little mouth was immediately wide open when she recognized this thing.
Gulp!
"Sovereign Profound Beast's Core..." She murmured in disbelief.
"And the quality is so high..."
"It's worth a mansion in the Demon Imperial City!"
Chu Yueli chuckled, "You're right. That core came from a Three-headed Ocean Alligator, an entry-level Sovereign Profound Beast of water elements."
"I killed it on the way here."
Hearing how casually Chu Yueli said she killed a Sovereign Profound Beast on the way here, Yun Xiao and Number Seven couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Do you think Sovereign Profound Beast is wild grass that can grow everywhere?
Although Chu Yueli said the core came from an entry-stage Sovereign Profound Beast, it is still one of the most powerful existences in the Illusory Demon Realm.
Of course, Yun Xiao and Number Seven didn't know the Three-headed Ocean Alligator was a Profound Beast that lived in the open sea. The scope of powers in the sea is larger than the three continents.
So, strictly speaking, Sovereign Profound Beasts aren't rare in the sea, but they are just well hidden. Many people can't travel by sea, which makes this matter unknown to the public.
Even the higher-ups of the Illusory Demon Realm barely explored the open sea.
"You don't have to worry about Yona's food. That care should suffice for your meal for a few days." Chu Yueli added calmly.
"Well, it's worth a lot." Yun Xiao felt it was wasteful to use Sovereign Profound Beast's core to buy food. After all, he can use the core for alchemy and even make a powerful demonic weapon.
"Also, you can still pay for Lingxi." Chu Yueli glanced at Xiao Lingxi. "Yona is a special case."
"Haha..." Xiao Lingxi doesn't know what to say.
Meanwhile, Yun Che listened to all these conversations with a mixed expression.
He doesn't know what to feel about this situation.
Surprisingly, Yun Che didn't pay much attention to the Sovereign Profound Beast's core. He was more concerned about his relationship with Xiao Lingxi.
Yun Che always regarded Xiao Lingxi as his little aunt, so he didn't think much of their relationship. But now that the truth was 'naturally' revealed, he felt he could push the relationship further.
Still, Yun Che suddenly remembered that Xiao Lingxi had an ambiguous relationship with Yu Long. He couldn't help but sigh because he couldn't possibly have a chance against his boss.
Let's not talk about strength first, as Yun Che felt Yu Long was much more handsome than himself.
'Let's give up. I can think of Little Aunt as my sister.' Yun Che thought to himself. He unconsciously broke the sliver thread of fate between himself and Xiao Lingxi, walking on a 'completely' new path.
"Brother Che, are you going to order?" asked Yun Xiao. He was worried because Yun Che had been very quiet all this time.
Yun Che snapped out of his daydream and replied, "Ah, yes. Let me see the menu."
Yu Long would clap his hands in amazement because this protagonist is different.
Although the protagonist, Yun Che, has given up on the heroine, he still regains some of his protagonist's luck and starts a new path. It will make Yun Che's cultivation faster and smoother, which sounds vague and unbelievable, but changing destiny is never easy.
Well, that's for later.
After choosing the dishes, Yun Che felt at ease and enjoyed the mood in the room. He talked with Xiao Lingxi with newfound feelings and smiled as if he were free of something.
When the dishes came, everyone enjoyed their food.
The lunch ends eventfully.
Yun Xiao took the initiative to be Xiao Lingxi's travel guide in the Demon Imperial City, and she accepted it. Then, they explored the city with Yun Che and Number Seven in the middle and Yona and Chu Yueli in the back.
"This city is much bigger than Floating Cloud City." Xiao Lingxi sighed in awe as she compared this place with her hometown.
Yun Xiao's eyes lit up, "If I'm not wrong, the Floating Cloud City should be my birthplace."
Xiao Lingxi nodded, "Yes."
"Can you tell me more about it, Little Aunt?" Yun Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Lingxi smiled warmly, "Sure. I will tell you everything about the Floating Cloud City."
Number Seven stared at Xiao Lingxi's back and asked Yun Che, "Brother Yun, I'm curious about something."
"Hmm, curious about what exactly?" Yun Che was confused.
Number Seven pursed her lips, "Aunt-in-law seemed to be an ordinary girl at first, but I can feel her cultivation base is nearing the Earth Profound Realm, and the Profound Energy she exudes is very pure."
"Yet the quantity of her Profound Energy is abysmally low."
"It feels like she just started cultivating recently."
"Because she is." Yun Che replied bitterly. "Little Aunt just started her profound way not too long ago."
Number Seven's bright eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that even possible?"
Yun Che chuckled amusingly, "If you look at it from a 'logical' perspective, it is weird. However, Little Aunt was given a personalized Profound Art by Boss Yu Long."
"The effect of the Profound Art is bound to break common sense."
"For example, Boss Yu Long made the Art of Thunderer, and I can fight with the geniuses of the Duke Huai Faction with it back then."
"Indeed..." How could Number Seven forget? She also attended the One Hundred Years' Reign Ceremony.
Yun Che is indeed fearsome when entering the Thunderer State.
Number Seven couldn't imagine just how strong this mysterious Consort Yu is.
...
...
Far, far away from the Demon Imperial City. At the Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley, three people come out of the Secret Realm.
Yes, they are none other than Yu Long, Huan Caiyi, and Yujin.
