Rumble …
With a wave of Ye Fan's sleeves, the huge stone door opened with a loud rumble.
Ye Fan and Akatsuki, who was carrying Baihu, walked side by side into the cave.
The entrance of the Lingyun Cave was covered with Brother Jin's extremely strong enchantment. At that time, Big Bear Renchuan was blocked by this enchantment at the entrance of the cave. His right hand was crippled and he almost lost all of his spiritual power.
Because Akatsuki was carrying Baihu and walking side by side with Ye Fan, she wasn't repelled by the barrier and entered safely.
When she saw the Lingyun Cave Abode, Akatsuki couldn't help but turn pale with fright!
How was this a cave abode? This was clearly a paradise, a paradise!
This Lingyun Cave was simply too big!
Pavilions, pavilions, streams, rockery, waterfalls, small bridges, exotic flowers, and fragrant flowers. It was simply another world!
The entire cave abode was illuminated by the huge luminous pearl at the top of the cave, looking extremely beautiful, as if it was a paradise!
Akatsuki's mouth was wide open, and she stood rooted to the ground, unable to regain her senses for a long time.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Ye Fan closed the stone door and smiled at the shocked Akatsuki.
"This … this is your cave abode, the Lingyun Cave?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan in disbelief as she admired the beautiful scenery in front of her.
"I'll go to the kitchen to make some food first. I'll have Xiao Zhao show you around. By the time you're done, the food and wine will be almost ready," Ye Fan said as he looked down at Baihu in Akatsuki's arms. He smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, I'll leave Hong Ji to you."
Baihu nodded and then jumped down from Akatsuki's arms.
"I'll help you in the kitchen." Akatsuki recovered and said to Ye Fan.
"Here, you're the guest, and I'm the host. The guest changes with the host," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki with a smile. "You guys go around first. I'll call you when I'm done."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared.
"Woo …" Baihu wagged its snow-white tail and chirped at Akatsuki. Then, it turned around and led the way.
Akatsuki smiled and followed behind Baihu.
It took him an entire hour to finish this round of spinning.
The more Akatsuki looked at the cave, the more she liked it.
The environment here was quiet and secluded. It was simple and elegant, with bridges and bamboos, and flowers everywhere. It was truly a good place to live in seclusion!
Thinking of Ye Fan and Fujiwara No Chiko playing chess and drinking tea here, Akatsuki felt envious from the bottom of her heart.
Compared to Fujiwara No Chiko, she was really unlucky. They had the same face, but a different fate.
If she could spend a period of time with Ye Fan in this cave, even if it was only for a day, she would be willing to die.
But unfortunately, this idea was only an idea.
"Sigh …" Akatsuki stood in front of the waterfall in the garden. She gently stroked Baihu who was lying beside her and sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Ye Fan's voice came from behind Akatsuki.
Akatsuki hurriedly turned around and saw Ye Fan standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.
"You … when did you come?" Akatsuki asked with a red face.
"Just when you were sighing." Ye Fan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
"No … no." Akatsuki avoided his gaze and said.
"I've already prepared the meal. Miss Yue, please take a seat." Ye Fan said as his body flashed and he extended his hand to make an inviting gesture.
Akatsuki pursed her lips and smiled.
Passing through the garden, around the rockery, and across the small bridge, two people and one fox slowly walked to the second floor.
This second floor was almost the same size as the first floor. There were more than ten huge stone houses surrounding it. In the middle of the empty space, an extremely huge stone table was reflected in Akatsuki's eyes.
This stone table was more than thirty feet long and more than ten feet wide. It was made of bluestone and it was simple and heavy. Above the stone table, a huge golden luminous pearl hung high above, and its dazzling brilliance illuminated the bluestone table in a golden light!
On either side of the stone table, there were thirteen huge and smooth bluestone taishi chairs. There were six chairs on the left and right sides, and one chair was placed in the middle of the main seat.
On the stone table, there were six types of delicacies, three types of meat, three types of vegetables, and six types of delicacies.
Stir-fried vegetables, deep-fried eggplant, cold seasonal vegetables, braised pork trotters, rock sugar pork knuckles, and a large bowl of fish soup.
"Did you make all of this?" Akatsuki looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of her and raised her head to look at Ye Fan.
"If it wasn't me, then did you make it?" Ye Fan smiled and handed a pair of chopsticks to Akatsuki. "Try it."
Akatsuki took the chopsticks and put a little of each dish into her mouth.
The seasonal vegetables were refreshing, the eggplant was crispy, the pork trotters were chewy, and the pork knuckles were fragrant.
"En." Akatsuki nodded her head continuously.
Ye Fan's culinary skills really weren't just for show.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Ye Fan said as he carried the drooling Baihu to the table. Then, he used his chopsticks to put some vegetables on a plate and placed them in front of Baihu.
Baihu lowered its head and sniffed. Then, it began to eat in big mouthfuls.
As long as it was something Ye Fan made, it wouldn't refuse it.
"Did your wife teach you to make these dishes?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan as she ate.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it.
Mentioning his wife at this time was really bad timing. She really didn't know how to chat.
Akatsuki gently bit her chopsticks and looked up at Ye Fan like a child who had made a mistake.
This time, she had said something wrong. It would definitely evoke Ye Fan's sad memories.
However, Ye Fan didn't look as sad as she imagined.
He was startled at first, then he smiled.
"That's where you're wrong." Ye Fan smiled as he picked up the celadon bowl and filled Akatsuki's bowl with rice. "Chiko's Japanese culinary skills are good, but when it comes to Chinese food, it's terrible." Ye Fan said as he placed the rice in front of Akatsuki.
"Terrible? That can't be. You must be lying to me. "Akatsuki took the rice and smiled.
"Chiko's salty duck is bitter and hard to swallow. The fried eggplant is burnt on the outside and not cooked on the inside. The stir-fried vegetables are not even long enough. Only the fish soup is drinkable." Ye Fan said with a smile.
"That's not bad. Then you can drink the fish soup." Akatsuki said with a smile.
"My fish soup is exactly the same as Chiko's. Try it." Ye Fan smiled as he pushed the fish soup in front of Akatsuki.
Akatsuki smiled, picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fish soup, and took a sip.
The fish soup was mellow and tasted delicious.
"How is it?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"It's delicious." Akatsuki replied.
"Hehe," Ye Fan smiled as he leaned back in the chair. He said with a smirk, "Don't just drink the soup. Try the fish."
Akatsuki frowned, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish into her mouth.
If the fish soup was delicious, the fish would also be delicious. This principle couldn't be simpler. She didn't understand what Ye Fan was planning.
However, when she chewed the fish in her mouth, she immediately understood Ye Fan's meaning.
"Hmm …" Akatsuki frowned and spat out a few fingernail-sized fish scales from her mouth.
"This fish … Why didn't you scrape off the fish scales?" Akatsuki looked up and asked Ye Fan.
At the same time, Akatsuki understood Ye Fan's meaning.
Obviously, when Fujiwara No Chiko made the fish soup for Ye Fan, she also didn't scrape off the fish scales.
Ye Fan smiled. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a large piece of fish with scales from the soup bowl into his own bowl.
"You drink the fish soup. I'll eat the fish." Ye Fan said with a smile as he ate the fish in big bites.
Akatsuki was silent.
She picked up a few grains of rice and put them in her mouth. They tasted like wax.
Ye Fan's deep feelings for Fujiwara No Chiko could be seen from the bowl of fish soup.
She suddenly understood why Ye Fan brought her here. She also knew why Ye Fan wanted to make this fish soup with fish scales.
All of these indicated one thing. Ye Fan was hinting to her.
He was hinting to her that he had a family.
"Don't just eat the food. Come, try the Hundred Flowers Drunk that I made in my previous life. This is a good wine." Ye Fan chewed on the fish, picked up a jar of wine on the table, broke the yellow seal, and filled two stone wine cups.
"I heard that this Hundred Flowers Drunk is made with the dew of a hundred flowers in the morning …"
Pa! Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, Akatsuki put down the bamboo chopsticks in her hand, picked up the stone cup in front of Ye Fan, put it to her mouth, and drank it in one gulp.
The stone cups in Lingyun Cave were almost twice the size of normal cups. Akatsuki drank at least half a catty of Hundred Flowers Drunk in this cup.
"Akatsuki, drink … drink slowly …" Ye Fan was stunned by Akatsuki's actions.
Pa! Akatsuki put down the empty wine cup, then reached out again, picked up another cup of Hundred Flowers Drunk, and gulped it down again!
She didn't care what Hundred Flowers Drunk was. Right now, she just wanted to get drunk.
The moment she tilted her head back to drink, two drops of clear tears flowed down from the corners of Akatsuki's eyes.
"Hong Ji!" Ye Fan reached out with one hand, bent his fingers into a claw, and directly sucked the stone cup in Akatsuki's hand into his hand!
"You're crazy!" Ye Fan slammed the stone cup on the table and said, "How can you drink wine like this?"
"If you don't drink wine like this, how do you drink it? Hmm? "Akatsuki looked straight at Ye Fan and asked.
"Drinking like this will harm your body." Ye Fan frowned and said to Akatsuki.
"Harm my body? Hmph, "Akatsuki shook her head and laughed," It's better to harm my body than to be sad. What do you think? "
After drinking two cups of Hundred Flowers Drunk, she was starting to feel tipsy.
This Hundred Flowers Drunk was brewed by Eldritch more than three hundred years ago using a secret method, and its aftereffects were extremely strong.
As the saying goes, 'The older the ginger, the spicier the wine, the more fragrant the wine'. This Hundred Flowers Drunk had been brewed for more than three hundred years, so its aftereffects were even more outrageous. Yue Hong Ji had just finished drinking, and her face was flushed red, tender and alluring.
"Hong Ji, you're drunk." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki with heartache.
He didn't think that his bowl of fish soup would make Akatsuki have such a big reaction.
If he had known, he wouldn't have served this dish.
"Drunk? Hmph … Hmph … "Akatsuki, who reeked of alcohol, laughed," It would be better if I was drunk. "
"Hong Ji, I …" Ye Fan wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Akatsuki, who was drunk, closed her eyes and waved her hand at Ye Fan.
"You don't have to say anything, I understand." Akatsuki, whose eyes were red, looked at Ye Fan and said drunkenly, "You don't have to give me any hints, and you don't have to feel like you owe me anything. Everything I did was voluntary, and I never thought of getting anything in return from you. Although I, Akatsuki, don't have any abilities, I'm definitely not the kind of person who would snatch someone's love away from me. You don't have to worry about this. "
"Hong Ji …" Ye Fan didn't think that Akatsuki would be so direct.
Not only did he serve the fish soup wrongly, but he also shouldn't have served the Hundred Flowers Drunk.
Baihu, who was eating with its head down, saw this situation and tilted its head to look at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
It didn't understand why the two people, who were talking and laughing, suddenly became like this.
"Your cultivation is now incredible, and your Devil Spirit is boundless. I can't help you much." Akatsuki picked up the wine jar and filled the stone cup in front of her, and said to Ye Fan, "After going to Sishui tonight, I will ask Matsumoto Takeyoshi to take a rest. We won't be partners in the future. You will have more freedom to act alone. This cup of wine is our farewell."
Akatsuki shakily poured the wine, picked up the wine cup, and raised it to Ye Fan with tears in her eyes, and drank it.
