My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 780 The Way of Hospitality

"I’m almost there!"

Phoenix taming four Soul-Separating Gus at the same time is bound to be slower than Qin Yu.

"Take your time, there’s no rush. I’ll go cook!"

Qin Yu glanced at the sky, which had already darkened. Over the past few days, his sister had been cooking, but now that his sister and Ou Changfeng had gone to Dragon Gate, he had to cook himself.

"By the way, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

After standing up, Qin Yu looked at Phoenix and asked. He didn’t even know where she was from; her taste might be different from his own.

"You’re cooking for me?"

Phoenix lifted her head, her delicate face still expressionless, giving no clue to her actual emotions.

"Is there a problem? First, my cooking skills are quite good, and secondly, it’s so late. It’s only normal to invite you to a meal, which is a traditional Hua Country way of treating guests!"

Qin Yu stated confidently.

In fact, he found it rather dull being alone in the medical hall and wanted Phoenix to keep him company a little longer.

Humans are social animals; nobody wants to be lonely.

"I don’t... have any dietary restrictions!"

Phoenix gave an indirect promise to stay for the meal.

"Alright, it’ll be ready in a moment!"

Qin Yu’s mouth curled upward slightly before he headed to the backyard.

Having a meal with a woman of Phoenix’s caliber would surely make many people green with envy, right?

A short while later.

Qin Yu walked out of the kitchen and entered the front hall. Phoenix had clearly tamed the Soul-Separating Gu and was sitting on a stool, arms folded, staring blankly at the sky.

Her profile was extremely delicate, especially her high, straight nose bridge, which probably couldn’t be matched even with plastic surgery.

"Ready?"

Phoenix turned her head and asked.

"Yeah, I didn’t go shopping, just made two simple home-cooked dishes!"

Qin Yu scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. So many men would compete to treat her to a feast at a Five Stars hotel if only she were willing.

"I don’t have much of a requirement for food!"

Phoenix said nonchalantly.

"That’s right, you are a master after all. You need to focus on your state of mind and must practice moderation!"

Qin Yu flattered her.

"Let’s go try your cooking then!"

Phoenix stood up and joined Qin Yu in the small courtyard at the back.

With the arrival of warm spring weather, the climate had also been quite pleasant.

Qin Yu had deliberately moved the table outside to eat dinner under the moonlight. It was a sort of ambiance, particularly dining with a great beauty like Phoenix.

"Do you usually drink alcohol? I won this medical hall in a bet from the Divine Doctor Su, and we’ve got a few jars of medicinal wine that taste quite good!"

After setting the tableware, Qin Yu looked at Phoenix and asked.

"Sure, pour me a bowl!"

Phoenix was quite hearty, asking directly for a bowl. After all, she was a daughter of Jianghu, without the affectations of ordinary noble daughters.

Moreover, a master of her realm would find it hard to get drunk unless like Qing Yi, she particularly sought to get wasted.

"Heh, okay, let’s not drink too much, just one bowl each. Luckily, I prepared a plate of fried peanuts. My grandpa used to love having peanuts with a drink!"

After saying this with a smile, Qin Yu took two bowls and poured out two bowls of pale yellow medicinal wine.

They were left by Divine Doctor Su, who, having bet the medical hall away, certainly wouldn’t miss a couple of jars of medicinal wine.

"Meeting is fate, Miss Phoenix, here’s to us!"

Qin Yu said, raising his wine bowl.

"You drink yours. I don’t have the habit of toasting, and no one dares to toast me either!"

Phoenix picked up a peanut and popped it into her mouth, still with her cool and aloof goddess demeanor.

"Alright then... Tsk tsk, this wine truly lives up to its maker, an old traditional doctor. Delicious!"

Qin Yu didn’t say anything more and took a big gulp of his drink.

Actually, since he had been in the Capital City for quite some time, he hadn’t really drunk much. He was in a good mood tonight, with the beautiful Phoenix for company, and having tamed a Soul-Separating Gu as his trump card, so he drank more.

"By the way, Miss Phoenix...."

Qin Yu hadn’t finished speaking when Phoenix interrupted him, "Just call me Phoenix!"

"Alright, Phoenix... nice name!"

Qin Yu felt that apart from being a bit aloof, Phoenix was actually not a pretentious person.

"What did you want to say?"

Phoenix knew Qin Yu hadn’t finished his sentence.

"Well... let’s talk about your major sects, I want to learn more about it!"

Qin Yu thought for a moment before asking.

"Actually, there’s not much to it, just a kind of inheritance. Hua Country has a long history of five thousand years, and many sects have existed since ancient times, passed down from generation to generation. Like Shaolin, Wudang, Qingcheng Sect, Emei Sect, they’ve always been around. It’s just that they don’t interact with ordinary people, which gives the impression that these major sects have become a sort of cultural belief and have nothing special about them!"

Phoenix explained lightly.

"Hmm... makes sense. Then... Li Jiutian, what cultivation level did he reach back then? He was so formidable that both righteous and evil factions hunted him down?"

Qin Yu asked again.

"I’m not sure, he practiced demonic arts, so his strength can’t simply be measured by his realm. In any case, he was the most powerful in the Demonic Path at that time, and he even had many followers. However, he did not start his own sect. Otherwise, he would surely have a place among the current major sects!"

Phoenix said indifferently.

During the era when Li Jiutian was a force to be reckoned with, she might have been just a cell, so it made sense that she didn’t know many things.

"Okay, last question, what’s so secretive about the Shen Zhao Jing that so many people are after it?"

Qin Yu nodded and asked.

"It seems to be... a map, to be exact. As for the specific secrets, no one can say for sure!"

Phoenix said uncertainly.

"Hmm..."

Qin Yu still believed what Phoenix had said, which was similar to what Ghost Shadow had previously mentioned—the Shen Zhao Jing was not only a top-tier Jianghu mental method but also a map.

However, given how long ago that was, for all he knew, the place marked on the map might have been developed and now had buildings on it.

"Drink up, drink up..."

Without dwelling on it too much, Qin Yu continued to drink from his bowl.

"Having been chosen by the demon and inheriting his mantle, I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. Back then, many people wanted to obtain the demon’s legacy, but no one succeeded!"

After taking a sip of her drink, Phoenix looked at Qin Yu and said.

"Who cares, as long as my intentions are righteous and I don’t use my skills to harm others, that’s all that matters!"

Qin Yu waved his arm dismissively.

"That does make some sense!"

Phoenix nodded and then remained silent.

After finishing a bowl of wine, Phoenix put down her chopsticks and said, "You should tell me the verses of the Shen Zhao Jing now!"

"Alright..."

After reciting the verses of the Shen Zhao Jing, Qin Yu asked, "Did you get all that?"

"I’ve always had a good memory!"

After speaking, Phoenix stood up and said, "We’ll meet again!"

"Sure, we’ll meet again!"

Qin Yu was already feeling tipsy, mumbling as he waved his hand. It wasn’t until Phoenix had disappeared into the night that he staggered back to his room to rest.

The next day.

When Qin Yu woke up, he scratched his head. Last night’s dream was so strange; aside from dreaming about Yan Mingyu, he had even dreamed of Phoenix.

They had only met a few times, yet she had entered his dreams.

He blinked in disbelief.

Then, recalling the conflict with Qing Yi yesterday, it seemed like it was time to visit the Qin Family.

Picking up his phone, he found his sister’s number and dialed, "Wei’er, I’m coming to pick you up, we’re going to the Qin Family later!"
