Chapter 176: Celebration Banquet
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Jing didn’t hear the excitement and discussion of the people in the school. She only felt that she had taken the exam as usual. After handing in the paper, she walked out of the school.
As expected, Ming Ze was waiting for her quietly under the shade of a tree at the side of the school gate.
“Ming Ze!” Ji Jing happily waved her hand and jogged.
She suddenly remembered that the Abbey Dean had always been busy. In the past, she would go back to the Taoist temple by herself for every big and small exam. This was the first time that someone had been waiting for her outside the examination hall.
Ming Ze had created too many beautiful moments for her that she had never imagined.
‘ Slow down.” Ming Ze saw her and caught the girl running over. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.
He naturally held Ji Jing’s fair wrist and gently massaged it.’”‘You’ve worked hard. Are your hands tired from writing so many words?”
“It seems… A little.” Ji Jing looked at her wrist.
This exam had five subjects taken together. It took three and a half hours, three large papers, and countless draft papers. She didn’t feel tired at first.
As soon as Ming Ze held it, the soreness in her fingers and wrists seemed to have come to her after a while.
“It won’t hurt after a massage.” Ming Ze kneaded her finger bones in a professional manner.” We should celebrate after the exam. Let’s go to the Thousand Treasures Village?’”‘
“Yes!” Ji Jing hesitated for a moment. She felt that saying thank you was too polite.
Ming Ze took her hand and brought her to the beautiful Demonic Path again.
Last time, Ji Jing saw the bustling Thousand Treasures Manor. This time, she saw the quiet side of the Manor.
The courtyard had been renovated in an ancient style. A stream flowed slowly through the courtyard. Many demons were gathered on both sides of the river and playing with winding water cups. They placed wine cups upstream and the wine cups flowed down the river. Whoever stopped in front of them would take the cup and drink, which meant that they would get rid of disasters.
The demons had more fun than the ancients. The purest mountain spring flowed in the stream, and not only were wine glasses floating, but there were also various colors. The seats by the shore were also clean and comfortable.
“Yo, you’re here?” Pan Bao had long heard that Ming Ze was coming and had prepared the best seats in advance.
“Long time no see!” Liang Xiao also sat beside Zhuo with a smile.
Ming Ze brought Ji Jing to their seats, and very soon, delicious dishes were served.
“Long time no see. Why are you all here?”Ji Jing greeted him with a smile and looked around curiously. The scenery of the Winding Stream was very unique.
“Of course I’m here to freeload!” Liang Xiao smiled wantonly. Since Ming Ze said that he was going to treat them at the Thousand Treasures Manor, then wouldn’t he hurry over! Ming Ze’s treat was too extraordinary.
Where’s Pan Bao? Pan Baoxin thought, I’m just a tool!
It was not easy for him to pull the manor to its current scale. He could have already enjoyed his retirement peacefully. He did not expect that when Ming Ze came, he would have to start making arrangements again.
However, with Ming Ze as the biggest sponsor, Pan Bao could finally relax and use the best ingredients to cook.
“Aren’t I the chef who freeloaded on his food?”Pan Bao sneered.
“Try this. It’s made from the Floating Fruit of Heaven Mountain.”Ming Ze wasn’t affected by the two of them and carefully served Ji Jing the dishes.
“Hey, Little Daoist.” Liushui brought a cup of wine and stopped beside Liang Xiao. He picked up the cup and drank it. The moment the wine entered his throat, the spicy feeling spread to his internal organs. It was so good to be alive!
“Hmm? What do you want to ask me?” Ji Jing asked as she picked up a piece of meat with a strange color and tried it.
What a wonderful taste! The fragrance of the meat collided with a special fragrance, and it was unexpectedly harmonious.
“Me? I forgot!” Liang Xiao was immersed in the fragrance of the wine.
“I saw that the local god really became a little immortal. Did you do it?”Pan Bao thought of a question that he had wanted to ask for a long time.
“Yes, we…” Ming Ze was about to answer when Liang Xiao grabbed his shoulder again.
From this moment on, the topic changed in a mess.
“God? What god? Pan Bao, what kind of wine is this? It’s too godly!” “Nonsense, this is plum wine that my family has brewed for ten years!”
“How did you brew it? Teach me!”
“I want to try too!”
“Liang Xiao, you better stop.”
“What does it matter? We’ve known each other for so many years…” “Manor Lord, Manor Lord! There are monsters quarreling over there!” “Jingjing, do you want to try the seafood porridge?”
“I remember now! I want to say, Little Daoist, come, let me toast you! To celebrate the end of your exam!”
