I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 152 - 98: The Young Wife

"Mr. Liu, why do I feel a bit chilly behind me?"

Master Feng’s shoulder shrank, shivering as if he had just finished peeing in the middle of the night.

Ji Ruinian’s wide sleeves swayed, revealing a white snake hissing and slithering out from his collar. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The snake kept hissing, staring at the black cat at the doorway like it was facing a formidable enemy.

Xuan Yu proudly lifted his neck, elegantly stepped to the coffin, and leaped on top.

Even though it was just a cat, at this moment it looked like the king of the forest patrolling its territory, giving the visiting Immortals a sense of haughty superiority.

"Are you the representatives of Master Feng and Mr. Liu?"

Whoa! A talking cat!

We’ve encountered a true great Immortal!

"Incredible, I’ve truly lived to see it all. This is a real Immortal, truly remarkable," said Master Feng, in utter amazement, nearly letting go of his birdcage, tapping his sleeves, and proceeded forward to pay respects.

Ji Ruinian clasped his hands in respect, seeing Master Feng beside him, still muttering to himself under his small melon cap, he tugged at his sleeve.

Master Feng immediately snapped out of it and hastened to greet.

"Blessings upon you, Madam! I, Feng Er, offer my respects."

"..."

Xu Qing’s eyelids twitched upon hearing this, it was a respected title of the Immortals, how did it turn into a eunuch from your mouth?

If Xuan Yu is the Madam, then what am I? The Retired Emperor?

Master Feng was destined for greatness, as fortune-tellers said he was fated to be involved in mysticism and Buddhism. Later, he encountered a problem he couldn’t solve, and a master from the north helped him out of his predicament and inducted him into the profession of representing Immortals.

That master once said that Immortals who could speak human words were Grandmasters with centuries of cultivation, an encounter that might not happen in a lifetime.

Because ordinary mortals don’t have that kind of fortune!

This time, he truly encountered one, no wonder the fortune-teller said he was a blessed person.

When Master Feng came, he thought he was meeting juniors, didn’t take it seriously and brought no gifts, but now encountering a senior, he couldn’t be perfunctory.

Feeling his sleeves and searching his belt, besides some large denomination silver notes that were not suitable as presents, there were only the two intricately carved nuts on his hand that had some value.

Alright! Although this Cat Immortal appeared noble, he’s never seen a cat that doesn’t like playing with balls.

"It’s my first time visiting, so I have no gifts to offer. These two nuts are for the Immortal, a token of my respect."

Xuan Yu looked at the glossy nuts placed in front of it by Master Feng, barely resisting the urge to paw at them.

It must remain poised and refrain from doing anything that would undermine the image of an Immortal.

"Master Feng, you are thoughtful."

Ji Ruinian, who was more particular, bought a box of golden fried fish sticks at the market on his way here.

He now lifted the small food box and placed it on the coffin lid, the aroma wafting through the wooden box was unmistakable.

Xuan Yu also thanked Mr. Liu.

Since the guests had shown their regards, and Xu Qing, as the one who had issued the invitation from the Cat Immortal Hall, should arrange the banquet and invite everyone.

Here, Xu Qing led them to the inner room. As soon as Master Feng entered, he saw a magnificent rooster lying on the ground.

Hiss! That bright red comb, as big as his palm, and those feathers, golden and red, smooth and delicate, looked like they were polished daily.

And that big fan tail, a radiant glossy black with a rainbow sheen.

This is not a rooster, this is clearly an art piece made from colored glazed ceramic!

"Brother Xu, don’t tell me, this is also one of your offerings to the Immortals."

"Not at all," Xu Qing grinned, "this Golden Chicken is raised by my senior sister, just staying at my place for a couple of days."

So it’s a master’s heritage. Master Feng looked at his own rooster, if put on a scale, it probably wouldn’t weigh more than one leg of this Golden Chicken.

"What does this chicken eat to grow this big?"

Xu Qing laughed, "As the saying goes, ’Outstanding birds come from peaks, and fragrant herbs grow by the deep valley ponds.’"

"This chicken is not of the ordinary kind, it has been consuming the essence of the sun and moon since it hatched in the deep mountains, a naturally endowed different species."

"You are speaking so mystically, as if my rooster falls short just because it wasn’t born on a mountain!"

Ji Ruinian, beside him, laughed, "You’re overthinking it, what Brother Xu means is simple, some chickens are born extraordinary, no matter how well you feed them, even daily mountain and sea delicacies can’t match up."

"Your rooster, it’s poor from the root."

"Snake charmer, if you don’t mock me a few times a day, can you still survive!"

These two are really a handful.

Xu Qing came to the second door, calling out to the embroidery girl who was strolling in the backyard. Seeing Xu Qing personally ’invite’ her, she gave herself a way out, deciding to forgive him this time.

Entering the shop, the embroidery girl began preparing ingredients and plating dishes, in no time, she had prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Today, with ’Feng Immortal’ present, dishes like braised phoenix or water-boiled phoenix eggs were absolutely out of the question, so Xu Qing prepared some offerings like yellow sticks, sticky rice, snowflake rolls, and red millet fine soup that had no taboos.

Aside from food for the Immortals, the embroidery girl also came up to Xu Qing in the middle, asking for silver coins.

Xu Qing, engrossed in conversation with Ji Ruinian, paid no mind and told her to take some from the counter, where there were several strings of change.

When the embroidery girl brought fried tofu, stir-fried vegetables, and cold mixed peanuts to the inner room, Xu Qing suddenly realized.

He hadn’t been to the market today, and the shop didn’t have the ingredients, so where did this ghost girl get these dishes from?

Suppressing his suspicion, Xu Qing thought it inappropriate to ask in front of everyone and decided to inquire after the banquet was over.

"Brother Xu, remember to visit the Flower and Bird Market later, I’ll show you something fun..."

Ji Ruinian clasped his hands and said, "I often reside by the Dyke of Willows. If you see a Tower Ship anchored by the shore with a willow flag, that would be my residence."
