Chapter 1582 - 1582 Entertaining Jing Hengran


1582 Entertaining Jing Hengran


When she entered the villa, Chi Shuyan saw Chef Li politely entertaining Jing Hengran. Jing Hengran was sitting on the couch in the living room with a cup of hot tea in front of him.


The two little guys weren’t around. Chi Shuyan noticed that Jing Hengran was looking at Chef Li calmly and didn’t see anything. Although she was confident, she heaved a sigh of relief.


Chef Li’s soul was becoming more and more solid now, partly because of the many Soul Condensing Pills she had given him before, and partly because of Chef Li’s trip to the ghost market.


No one had noticed anything strange about the restaurant even after it had been open for so long. As long as it wasn’t a Celestial Master with profound cultivation, most people wouldn’t notice that Chef Li wasn’t human.

!!

Chef Li’s initial trepidation and nervousness had also been replaced with extreme calm. He had been in the world for too long, and had already integrated into society.


Still, Jing Hengran felt that Shuyan’s housekeeper had a temperament that was different from ordinary people.


The thought flashed through Jing Hengran’s mind, but when he saw Chi Shuyan, he threw it to the back of his head, and got up and said happily, “Shuyan, you’re back?”


Chef Li followed Jing Hengran’s gaze and saw that Miss Shuyan had returned. He relaxed and called out happily, “Miss Shuyan!”


Chef Li was good at cooking, so he immediately said that he would cook. Since an esteemed guest had come to Miss Shuyan’s place, they needed to entertain him with a meal.


Chi Shuyan didn’t want Chef Li to trouble himself that much. It was already late. If he really got busy, who knew how long he would be busy for. In a low voice, she told Chef Li to bring out the wine that had been brewed at home, and that it was fine to just steam some of the pastries that were in the fridge; she said it wouldn’t be easy to digest the food if they ate too late. Just steam some pastries and put together a pile of fruits.


Chef Li immediately nodded and replied in a low voice, “Okay.”


Before he left, Chef Li wanted to say something, but hesitated. Chi Shuyan could tell that he had something on his mind, so she asked him in a low voice what it was. It turned out that he had an appointment tomorrow night; a good ghost had asked him out. Chi Shuyan had always treated Chef Li and the others as family, so when she heard this, she immediately agreed and told him that if anything happened, he should send her a WeChat message to let her know.


Chef Li was very grateful. When he had first been caught by Miss Shuyan, he had been worried that he would either be refined into a medicinal pill or become a slave. He had never dared imagine he could have the good days he was having now, and even open a restaurant like an ordinary person.


After he visited the ghost market and learned how much ghosts were worth, he understood even more how lucky he was. Other ghosts with higher cultivation levels had to worry all day long about whether they would be subdued by some Celestial Master or not. Those with lower cultivation levels were even more miserable; not only did they have to guard against Celestial Masters, they also had to guard against being devoured by their own kind.


He, the Ninth Prince, and Han Yu didn’t dare imagine how good their current days were. It was precisely because he knew this that Chef Li was even more grateful to Miss Shuyan and was very concerned about her.


After listening to Miss Shuyan’s instructions, Chef Li decided to steam some pastries but also make a light midnight snack. Perhaps Miss Shuyan was hungry.


Before Chef Li left, Chi Shuyan had a thought and immediately instructed him to also make a pot of spirit tea.


Ever since she found out from the Jing Auction House about spirit tea, she learned how to refine it very smoothly. It also didn’t cost much. Apart from giving some away and selling some in her Taobao shop, she also specially left a few jars at home for her family to brew and drink.


The spiritual energy in this spirit tea wasn’t too dense; no matter how much a person drank, their bodies wouldn’t explode. Chef Li and the two little guys usually drank some, and it was very useful for their cultivation.


The two little guys didn’t really like tea. On the other hand, Chef Li loved the spirit tea very much. In his era, tea was very popular, and Chef Li was a tea lover.


Still, the tea back then couldn’t compare with the tea leaves now, let alone spirit tea with dense spiritual energy.


When Chef Li took a sip of the spirit tea for the first time, he had simply been in disbelief. He usually treated spirit tea like a treasure. Now that Miss Shuyan asked him to make a pot, Chef Li’s heart ached. However, a guest had come, and the other party was probably Miss Shuyan’s esteemed guest, so he only felt the pinch for a while before he immediately went to make the spirit tea.


After Chef Li went to do other things, Chi Shuyan sat down and greeted Jing Hengran. Jing Hengran apologized gently like a modest gentleman. “Shuyan, I’m sorry to disturb you so late! By the way, I didn’t disturb you just now, did I?”


Jing Hengran’s tone was very sincere and he looked at her intently, as if he could see into her heart. In addition, he had good looks, and his apology was very likable and not repulsive. On the contrary, his gentle eyes could make a woman blush and her heart race. Unfortunately, Chi Shuyan was immune to it. Who asked her ex-boyfriend to be so good-looking? He couldn’t be worse than Jing Hengran, so Chi Shuyan’s heart was very calm under his gentle gaze.


Still, the other party’s words inevitably reminded her of Qi Zhenbai. He hadn’t disturbed her during work, but had interrupted her reconciliation with her ex-boyfriend. It could only be said that Jing Hengran’s arrival tonight was an unfortunate coincidence. She couldn’t blame anyone, and could only admit that she was unlucky.


Thinking this, Chi Shuyan said calmly and politely, “No! I wasn’t busy with anything else just now!”


Jing Hengran smiled even more. “That’s good, that’s good! I’m just afraid that I came in a hurry tonight. It won’t be good if you treated me as an uninvited guest.”


The two chatted politely. Jing Hengran deliberately probed her about her cooperation with the Fan family and how they met.


Chi Shuyan didn’t hide it. She had put her spirit tea up for auction at the Jing family, but no one had been willing to bid. In the end, Fan Yin had good eyes and bought all her spirit tea.


Given such a supportive customer with good eyes, she naturally had to get to know him. After the auction, they had a meal together and got to know each other!


Jing Hengran was all smiles, but he lamented in his heart how lucky Fan Yin was.


In particular, he had recently heard some rumors about the Fan family. For example, Fan Yin, that rascal, was under the protection of an ‘expert,’ and had obtained many high-grade Advancement Pills.


Before he found out about this, Jing Hengran could still remain calm about Shuyan’s spirit tea deal with the Fan family. After finding out the grade of the medicinal pill, however, how could he sit still?


At the thought of the rumor of level 6 Advancement Pills in the Fan family, it was like Jing Hengran’s b.u.t.t was on fire as he immediately came over to confirm it. To be honest, when word spread of level 6 pills in the Fan family, his first reaction was to not believe it, let alone the rumor that these elementary level 6 Advancement Pills had been refined by the young lady in front of him.


Jing Hengran pondered as he observed the young lady in front of him. No matter how well he knew Shuyan, he didn’t think she could refine a level 6 pill at her age.


Although he didn’t believe it, he couldn’t help but come over to confirm. What if these level 6 Advancement Pills were refined by the person behind Shuyan?


Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Jing Hengran was thinking at that moment, but she heard him s.h.i.+ft the topic from spirit tea to medicinal pills. He also thanked her for refining the Marrow Recovery Pill last time. His friend’s health had improved and he could cultivate again. This was an unexpected surprise for him and his friend.


Chi Shuyan politely said that without the Jing family’s herbs, she wouldn’t be able to refine pills. This cooperation was a win-win situation for everyone.


Jing Hengran stared fixedly at the young lady in front of him. To be honest, he felt that he couldn’t understand her. Either her thoughts were too deep, or he was thinking too much. Jing Hengran was more inclined to the former.


Just as Jing Hengran was about to continue asking if she had refined the level 6 pills which the Fan family had, he suddenly smelled the rich fragrance of spirit tea. The dense spiritual energy coming from afar jolted him awake, and he immediately narrowed his eyes. “What’s that fragrance?”


Following his gaze, Chi Shuyan saw Chef Li come over with a teapot. She saw Jing Hengran’s expression and pretended not to notice. When Chef Li placed the teapot on the table, she slowly poured a cup of tea for Jing Hengran and motioned for him to try it.


In fact, Jing Hengran had already tasted her spirit tea before at Qian Zhengde’s place. He had been shocked when he tasted it, but now, the fragrance and spiritual energy of this tea were actually even stronger. Jing Hengran was in disbelief. If it wasn’t for the fact that the tea had just been brewed and was steaming hot, he would have drunk it all up right away.


After a long while, the tea cooled down a little, and Jing Hengran immediately couldn’t wait to pick it up and take a sip. The taste was even more outstanding, and lingered on the tongue. He was especially incredulous at how dense the spiritual energy in the tea was. No wonder after the Fan family bought the spirit tea refined by Shuyan, they immediately turned around and asked the Jing Auction House for the spirit tea from last time, and said that they didn’t need the Jing family’s spirit tea.


This was the first time in a hundred years that his Jing family’s spirit tea had been despised.


Jing Hengran’s eyes darkened as he looked at the young lady in front of him. His eyes lit up and he suppressed his excitement as he asked, “Why is the spiritual energy in this spirit tea… so dense?”
