Zhao Meng who came over, sat directly at the seat in front of Zhao Wei, feeling nervous, but seeing that Tian Ye was looking over the Yellow Leaf City, she felt a little relieved.

Zhao Wei, frowned slightly seeing Zhao Meng's demeanor, even her clothes were a little messy, unlike her usual noble and flawless appearance, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? And don't you notice your appearance? Your clothes are a mess, there are even slight blood splatters on it."

Zhao Meng slightly trembled hearing Zhao Wei's words and looked over her clothes that were indeed a little messy, it was a little loose as well. Within Tian Ye's presence, all she could think of was how to please him, she didn't have any time to pay attention to other things.

Zhao Wei then asked, not waiting for Zhao Meng to speak, "Who's that young man?"

He then drank a sip of the wine in his cup.

"A very scary individual." Zhao Meng spoke in a quiet voice, while staring solemnly in the eyes of Zhao Wei, "Stronger than father by at least 10 folds."

Zhao Wei choked on the wine he was drinking, then looked at Zhao Meng with a similar solemn eyes, hearing her words, he became nervous and asked, "I didn't offend him, did I?"

"Almost." Zhao Meng replied, explaining, "You frowned when he pointed at you earlier, he almost killed you because of that. Earlier, the gate guard, who's a Martial Arts Master, said that he was talking nonsense and he tortured him for a bit to get answers off of him, then killed him directly for displeasing him saying that now that he knows what displeases him, he can watch out for him in his next life. And he did it as if he was playing with a child."

His hands trembled slightly but calmed himself by drinking sips of wine.

He himself was a Martial Arts Master. If Tian Ye could play with the guards that usually go through a strict competition so that the gate guards are reliable even when it's not so busy, what about him who usually lazes around at home?

Yes, he practices for some time daily, but is he better than a gate guard in the 1st district? The answer is naturally no.

Zhao Meng wasn't finished yet and said, "Lord Tian is extremely whimsical, so when you go back, can you please warn father and the other clan members so that they don't do anything stupid in that individual's presence?"

Zhao Wei took a sip of wine, and nodded, "I'll go now, should I go over first to apologize?"

Zhao Meng shook his head, "That's alright, I'll handle it."

Zhao Wei then stood up and said, "Then, I'll go first, be sure to get in his favor, Zhao Meng."

"Yes, Uncle Wei, I'll do my best." Zhao Meng affirmed as she also stood up and went over to Tian Ye.

Tian Ye then chuckled hearing Zhao Meng's step coming nearer to himself, he said, "I'm not that scary, Young Lady Zhao. How can you scare your uncle like that?"

Zhao Meng's hair all over her body stood up in fright and she said fearfully, "My lord… that was…"

Tian Ye then shook his head before she could finish, "Just sit down, with my earlier actions, it's normal that you think that I'm scary, furthermore, I am indeed whimsical."

"Yes, my lord." Zhao Meng sat down in her previous seat, not saying anything more, afraid of possibly displeasing Tian Ye.

"Young Lady Zhao, are there nearby mortal cities?"

Zhao Meng answered Tian Ye's question, "Yes, my lord. There are 4 total known cities from here. There's the Silver Frost City, 100 kilometers away to the north, Crimson Cloud City, 50 kilometers away to the south, Azure River City, 200 kilometers away to the east, and Blazing Sun City, 300 kilometers away to the west."

"Hm…" Tian Ye just made a sound, then Li Hua arrived, "Thanks for the wait, Lord Tian! The food and wine are here!"

Tian Ye just nodded, looking at the blank sky in the open balcony, "Go ahead, and serve it."

Zhao Meng was a little confused and thought in her heart, 'Lord Tian is a little absent-minded since awhile ago… what could he be thinking about.'

Earlier, Tian Ye drank the Silver Bamboo Bliss like he was having a lot of fun, but now, he's a little quiet. 'Is it because of the intoxication of drinking wine for the first time?'

Li Hua directed the servants to serve the dishes, there were a lot of food, seafood dishes, meat dishes and vegetable dishes.

The food filled the table, and a wine cup was placed on Tian Ye's side.

Meanwhile, Li Hua stood by Tian Ye's words, asking as she carried the wine jar in her hands, "Should I serve you the wine, Lord Tian?"

Tian Ye grabbed the small wine cup in his hands and said with a nod, "I leave it to you."

Li Hua then half-filled Tian Ye's cup, then after filling it up, she stood on the side, waiting for Tian Ye to finish it so she could fill it up again.

Tian Ye then said, the wine cup just hanging before his mouth, "You may sit down and leave that wine jar there. I'll serve it myself."

"Yes, Lord Tian." Li Hua, as an experienced restaurant owner, followed and sat down like instructed.

Tian Ye then closed his eyes, drinking the Dragon's Gate Elixir Wine in the small cup slowly.

As he did, he felt the feeling of his throat burning from the high alcohol content. And it indeed, expressed similar ideas of a dragon breathing out fire.

He put the small cup on the side after drinking, and began eating with the chopsticks.

Li Hua, who was sitting on the opposite side, asked, "Did you not like the wine, my lord?"

Tian Ye looked at her slightly before saying with a slight frown, "It's fine."

Li Hua, feeling that Tian Ye was a little displeased, apologized, "I'm sorry for saying something unnecessary, my lord."

"It's fine." Tian Ye replied once again, before he started taking a bite of each of the dishes.

After tasting everything, he breathed out with the words, "In the end, a backward world like a mortal world's dishes are just like that."

Zhao Meng and Li Hua just ate quietly, paying attention to whatever Tian Ye said.

Tian Ye then summoned a fasting pill from his spatial ring and bit it in one go.

He also drank the Dragon's Gate Elixir Wine in its wine jar in one go.

His face slightly red, he asked, "Owner Li, bring me another jar."

Li Hua was slightly curious as to what pill Tian Ye ate just now, but didn't ask and just bowed as she stood up, "Yes, Lord Tian."

She then brought over another wine, and Tian Ye also drank it in one go.

"Another one."

"Yes, Lord Tian."

"Another one."

…

After 10 wine jars that Tian Ye consumed in just less than 30 minutes, Tian Ye laughed out loud, with an extremely red face, "Hahaha!"

"Are you satisfied, Lord Tian?"

"Satisfied?" Tian Ye asked, then nodded, "Extremely satisfied. How much is my bill?"

Li Hua was slightly taken aback seeing that Tian Ye was willing to pay, she then replied, "I don't know if Lord Tian has Yellow Leaf City currency but it costs in total, 100 gold coins. 10 gold coins for each jar of the wine. As for the food, it didn't fit Lord Tian's taste so we won't ask you to pay for it."

"10 gold coins? I indeed have no such currency, do you take fasting pills? It's the only thing that I have a lot of."

"Fasting pills are…?" Li Hua asked in curiosity.

"It's a pill that can keep one full for 1 whole day."

"This…" Li Hua was shocked, there's such a pill?! But she immediately calmed down and replied, "Such a valuable pill, just 1 would suffice my lord."

"1?" Tian Ye then raised his hands, and with his spatial ring, he summoned back the chair, as well as a thousand fasting pills. He still had a few thousand within his spatial ring, so it's okay to spend a thousand pills in one go.

Li Hua and Zhao Meng were shocked to see the amount, but Tian Ye just said nonchalantly, "Let me dine in here for a year with this amount."

Li Hua's eyes glowed as if she had seen a mountain of gold and said, "It's no problem if you want to dine here for free for 5 years my lord!"

"Is that so? Then, Young Lady Zhao, do you know an inn where I could stay at?"

Li Hua and Zhao Meng stood up, as Zhao Meng said and led, "Please follow me, my lord, if you'd like, you can stay at my mansion."

"Then, just go. The place to sleep doesn't matter much."

Li Hua chimed, "Then, at least let me follow you out, Lord Tian."

"Sure." Tian Ye said in intoxication, as he stood up, he wobbled slightly, Zhao Meng approached him intending to help him walk so Tian Ye just let her lead him there.
