Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

It's just a meal; she, a dignified diviner, is not so poor as to not be able to afford it.

Inside an elegant and unique little building, Yu Chen and Fu Xuan sat facing each other on a felt mat.

He looked around curiously; the place was indeed antique and quite charming.

The curtains hung low by the window, creating a hazy atmosphere. The walls were made of fine wood and hung with silks and satins, embroidered with many exquisite patterns. Even the ceiling was covered with embroidered felt, making it warm and cozy. There was also an incense burner on the table, burning the finest incense, which emitted a faint fragrance. It was simply the epitome of luxury.

Fu Xuan held the cup and ignored him, simply drinking his tea quietly.

Yu Chen clicked his tongue in amazement, never expecting that the Grand Diviner would actually bring him to such a powerful place.

He had no idea that this small building was hidden deep within the bustling city!

I've never even heard of this place.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a voluptuous, long-legged girl in a cheongsam walked in.

Her curvaceous figure made Yu Chen glance at her a few more times.

She smiled at him, then looked at Fu Xuan and said respectfully, "Is the Grand Diviner still the same?"

Yu Chen blinked, then looked at the girl sitting in front of him.

Same as always…

It seems like they come here to eat often.

As expected of a diviner, he certainly has class!

"Well, there's still someone here, let's ask him what he wants to eat."

Fu Xuan put down his cup and glanced at Yu Chen.

He immediately echoed, "I'd be happy to do the same as Lord Fu Xuan! But... bring me three jars of your best wine first!"

After Yu Chen finished speaking arrogantly, he glanced at Fu Xuan and found that she was calm and composed, without the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

Oh my~ This girl is actually willing to treat him to a good meal?

They really did have a change of heart.

Just as he was about to enjoy himself with satisfaction, the diviner spoke up.

"This shop doesn't sell alcohol."

Yu Chen's face stiffened, and he stared at her with wide eyes.

"How could a restaurant not sell alcohol?!"

"But this store doesn't have it, right, Xiaolan?"

Fu Xuan glanced at the woman who was waiting there respectfully.

She smiled and looked at Yu Chen, saying, "Yes, this shop really doesn't sell alcohol."

"You didn't lie to me just because she's a diviner, did you?" Yu Chen asked the girl suspiciously.

"Guests, aside from the innkeeper, even if the general came, I wouldn't lie to other guests for his sake!"

The woman replied calmly, without the slightest hint of panic in her tone.

Yu Chen immediately felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of bitter melon. He waved his hand with a bitter face and said, "Fine, fine, I've lived for so long and I've never seen a restaurant that doesn't sell alcohol..."

That's settled then...

He sighed, then glared fiercely at Fu Xuan, and shouted, "If we can't drink, then bring out all your restaurant's signature dishes! Pick the expensive ones, and serve them to me in abundance!"

"Okay, sir, then I'll take my leave."

The woman responded and slowly retreated, closing the door behind her.

A brief silence fell over the room, as wisps of smoke rose from the incense burner.

Fu Xuan ignored him and simply closed his eyes to rest.

Yu Chen glanced at her and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, then lay down on the table, staring at the stove, seemingly lost in thought.

What's the point of eating if there's no alcohol? It's bland, tasteless, and utterly unappetizing.

...

"Wow, this is delicious! This one is good too. Fu Xuan, you're really good at being a diviner!"

"They eat these kinds of delicacies every day!"

Yu Chen's eyes lit up as he frantically devoured the dishes on the table.

Fu Xuan's eyelids twitched as he watched the man's incredibly ravenous eating habits. This guy was like a starving ghost reincarnated. Fortunately, although his eating habits were frightening, they weren't dirty. Apart from some oil stains on the corners of his mouth, nothing else dripped out and didn't bother anyone.

"Who gave you permission to call me by my first name?"

So she chose to attack him from another angle.

"Oh, I don't mind you calling me by my name, so why can't I call you?"

"Don't you know that Xianzhou now advocates equality for all?"

Yu Chen said while swishing the rice.

Chapter 12 Fu Xuan, are you playing me?

Fu Xuan looked at him, but for a moment he couldn't think of any reason to refute him, so he snorted and stopped talking.

This guy has already eaten most of the food for two people and that bunch of so-called signature dishes.

If I don't hurry up, I'll go hungry again.

Yu Chen seemed really hungry; his mouth never stopped moving once he started eating.

He stuffed one bite of food after another into his mouth, and each time he could be seen with an extremely satisfied expression, it seemed that the food on the table was very much to his liking.

'In the end, he ate mostly what I love, but he put down those famous dishes...'

Fu Xuan secretly grumbled to himself.

Seeing how happily he was eating, I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable; in fact, I was quite pleased.

After all, he ate a lot because he liked it, and those were also the dishes she liked. This gave her a sense of recognition, which made her feel pretty good even though she tried fewer dishes.

A bite of vegetables, a bite of rice, and then a big gulp of soup.

"Ha~"

Yu Chen ate with great relish, drinking the soup with the same gusto as drinking alcohol, especially when he exhaled comfortably.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no smell of alcohol at all, Fu Xuan would have suspected that someone had secretly poured alcohol into the bowl for him.

Compared to this guy who looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, Lord Fu Xuan ate with much more dignity and elegance.

Yu Chen could taste the flavor of wine in the soup, which naturally meant that the soup was extremely good.

Fu Xuan ladled himself a bowl, then picked up a piece of rice with his chopsticks, soaked it in the broth, and slowly put it into his mouth.

The plump, glistening rice is very fragrant, and when coated with the delicious broth, the flavor is elevated to another level.

She chewed gently, a happy smile gradually appearing on her face.

I order this every time I come because I like the feeling.

The soup was very appetizing, and even the humble Master Fu Xuan quickly finished a bowl.

After that, she ate at a slower pace, and Yu Chen took care of most of the meals.

We usually have a lot of leftover food, but today we ate almost all of it.

However, Yu was so overwhelmed that he could barely stand up straight. With his belly protruding, he collapsed weakly to the ground.

He braced himself on his elbows, tilting his upper body back so that he wouldn't vomit.

Fu Xuan sat quietly opposite him, calming her breathing. Her small feet, wrapped in white silk, were folded under her petite buttocks, soft and smooth, making one want to eat some ice cream.

Don't you understand the principle of eating until you're seven-tenths full?

Yu Chen waved his hand weakly, his body feeling limp and unwilling to move.

“I’m not as knowledgeable as you, Fu Xuan. I’m just a martial artist. Of course, I can only eat as much as my stomach can hold. I need to fill my stomach completely before I have the strength to fight.”

"You're calling me by my given name again... I don't need you to kill, set fires, or fight. You're just a secretary; how could you possibly be as exhausted as someone fighting on the front lines?"

Fu Xuan snorted somewhat discontentedly, her pink lips pouting, which was quite adorable.

"Sigh~ You can't say that, and I've never been a secretary before, so I don't know which one is more tiring."

"You'll find out soon enough."

Fu Xuan glanced at him and said indifferently.

Yu Chen suddenly sat up straight, looking at her expectantly. "Can't I rest for another day... I just got out of seclusion not long ago..."

"Sure, of course, but... if I'm doing something and happen to be short of someone, and then I fail and get in a bad mood, it would be troublesome if I deducted someone's salary next month."

Fu Xuan stretched out her fair, slender fingers, her head lowered as she admired herself, her purple eyes fixed on something, seemingly looking at something unknown.

Yu Chen stared at her, his expression twitching. Good grief, she just pointed him out like that?

That damned diviner, that damned diviner!
