Chapter 2175: Chapter 2176: Relaxation After the Great Battle (Second Update)
Auntie Pang glared at him unhappily, "Alright, alright, I know you’re amazing, okay? How many times have you repeated these words since you came back? I’m sick of hearing it!"
"Hehe! No matter how many times I say it, it’s not enough. That was the highlight of my life!"
"Humph! How can you not be arrogant?" Despite her words, Auntie Pang very considerately opened another bottle of wine for Uncle Xie.
Just then, the door of the restaurant was pushed open from outside, and a calm, smiling voice came through.
"Stir fry a couple of your specialties, remember to add lots of chili and less green onions!"
This familiar voice made Auntie Pang and Uncle Xie shudder, they immediately turned around to look at the door.
Xue An smiled at them, "Uncle Xie, Auntie Pang, what? Not welcoming me?"
The two almost jumped out of their seats.
"Xiao... Xiao An?" Uncle Xie stammered.
The moment he spoke, he regretted it a bit.
Sure enough.
Auntie Pang pinched him hard, then hesitantly said, "Mr. Xue, why have you come over?"
The tone was polite and cautious.
The reason was none other than the fact that Xue An’s prestige now was too high!
Proving the way to half-step Immortal Venerate, heavily injuring invading evil creatures, saving lives from disaster.
Every one of these were earth-shattering events.
It also made Xue An an untouchable existence in many people’s minds.
Facing such a reputation, Auntie Pang naturally couldn’t be as relaxed as before.
But upon hearing these words, Xue An was slightly taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Auntie Pang, are you embarrassing me? Calling me Mr. Xue, are you trying to make me turn and leave?"
Speaking so, Xue An was somewhat disappointed as he was about to turn and leave.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Xie hurriedly took a step forward, "Xiao An, don’t mind Auntie Pang’s nonsense, she’s just got this woman’s insight!"
He gave Auntie Pang a fierce look, "Did you hear that? Xiao An is not like that, no matter what kind of big shot he becomes, he is still the same Xiao An from before!"
Facing Uncle Xie’s reprimand, Auntie Pang didn’t explode like she usually would but rather lowered her head in embarrassment.
Such a scene also made Xue An chuckle helplessly, "Alright, alright, Uncle Xie, don’t show off your family head demeanor, hurry and stir-fry a few dishes! I’m starving!"
"Okay, just wait a moment, I’ll head to the kitchen immediately!" Uncle Xie cheerfully rushed towards the back kitchen.
Auntie Pang also brightened up.
"Xiao An, you and Yan’er have a seat here, I’ll go get you some wine, Uncle Xie had hidden a few good bottles, all confiscated by me!"
She left with a cheerful grin.
Soon, the stove in the kitchen began roaring, accompanied by the clash of a spatula, instantly filling the small restaurant with the rich aroma of earthly life.
An Yan felt completely relaxed, as if time had instantly transported back to the past.
Back then she would occasionally come here with Xue An after getting his paycheck for a treat.
So-called treats were actually just a few ordinary small dishes.
For An Yan, who was born into a powerful family in the Capital City, it was truly coarse and vulgar, but she ate with great joy.
In the blink of an eye, upon returning here, her status and mindset had changed drastically.
But the joy of waiting for the dishes was unchanged.
Soon, a few dishes were served.
Uncle Xie wiped his hands on his apron and proudly said, "Try it, see how it tastes!"
Xue An unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece.
No Dragon Liver or Phoenix Marrow, just utterly ordinary ingredients, yet in Uncle Xie’s hands, they exploded with a different fragrance.
He didn’t say a word but simply gave a thumbs up.
Uncle Xie’s face bloomed into a brilliant smile.
Then Auntie Pang came with the wine.
Uncle Xie sat by, Xue An opened a bottle, personally pouring a full glass for Uncle Xie.
"Uncle Xie, come, let me first toast to you!"
Speaking so, Xue An drained the glass in one gulp.
Uncle Xie’s hands began to tremble.
His eyes slightly reddened!
Though he seemed ordinary just now, Xue An’s status was evident!
He dared not overstep at all.
But he didn’t expect Xue An would take the initiative to toast him.
This naturally filled him with excitement, and he tilted his head, draining the glass in one gulp.
With a glass of wine, the atmosphere instantly grew more lively.
At this moment, Auntie Pang and Uncle Xie finally affirmed that Xue An hadn’t changed!
Still that gentle and refined young man!
After the third round of toasts, Uncle Xie curiously asked, "Xiao An, why didn’t you go to the banquet, but came here instead?"
Xue An smiled, "Because I have a quirky trait, the larger the banquet, the less I eat my fill, plus this time I’ve been back for a while and haven’t tasted Uncle Xie’s dishes, so naturally I came to satisfy my craving first!"
Uncle Xie felt a sense of pride lighting up his face, he raised his glass, "In that case, let’s have another toast, just the two of us!"
"Alright!"
In no time, a bottle was downed.
Uncle Xie’s face had shown a bit of drunkenness.
Though he had undergone some transformation before, with a half-body of mechanical structure, his alcohol tolerance hadn’t seen much improvement.
And with the wine’s power, Uncle Xie spoke with no reservations.
"Xiao An, there’s something I don’t know if I should ask."
"Uncle Xie, go ahead!"
"Now that this battle is over, what are your plans?"
Xue An put down the wine glass, smiling at Uncle Xie, "Uncle Xie, what do you mean...?"
Uncle Xie ignored Auntie Pang’s frantic signaling, seriously saying.
"I feel this matter can’t end so simply, God knows if those bastards will come back, so we must prepare in advance!"
Xue An also laughed, "Well said, let’s have another drink!"
Another glass of wine, Uncle Xie’s tongue started to get heavy.
"Damn it, those bastards let the good times go, and came looking for trouble, if they dare come again, I’d still be the first to charge up!"
Auntie Pang finally couldn’t keep her calm, coughed lightly then lowered her voice, "Uncle Xie, can’t you let your mouth stay shut, Yan’er is still here!"
Uncle Xie didn’t mind other words, but as soon as this one was spoken, he immediately understood, quickly closed his lips, not daring to speak.
Xue An smiled slightly then said, "Uncle Xie!"
"Yes?"
"Could you please head back to the kitchen and stir-fry a few more dishes, some folks have come to freeload!"
As soon as the words were spoken, laughter was heard from outside.
"Xue An, you’re not being a friend, leaving us hanging and sneaking here for a private cook-up!"
