C404 Father!
Lakeside hut!
The bonfire was burning so brightly that it could even reflect a person's face...
The three of them laid a few pieces of dried animal skin beside the bonfire and sat down on the ground. Xiao Yan's father took out the wine that was gifted to him by the ape tribe and leaned against the fire. He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and occasionally raised his wine glass to take a few sips.
Chen Tianming was in charge of peeling off the skin of the blue beaver and skewering it with branches. He turned it over and roasted it on the fire. Drops of golden, greasy liquid dripped down. Drops of meat skewers that had already been roasted filled with a raging fragrance fell into the bonfire, adding a bit of an alluring taste to the taste.
"Tianming! Roast it a little more burnt for me,i like chewy ones!" Xiao Faang narrowed his eyes and tore off a red and thin leg from the pigeon wrapped in lotus leaves beside him. He put it into his mouth and took a bite. Chen Tianming had specially gone out and asked the kitchen to prepare it for him to bring in. He also had to thank Hsu Gecheng for his consideration. Not only had he provided accommodation for Chen Tianming, but he also had to thank Hsu Gecheng for his hospitality. And specially hired a top-class chef.
Xiao Faang clicked his tongue and praised, "It tastes good. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Haha! Actually,i live here. After a long time, it was inevitable that I miss home. However,i can't bear to see the silence here!" As he spoke, Xiao Faang looked at Xiao Xiao, who was sitting beside him, hugging her knees and quietly looking at the grilled meat in Chen Tianming's hands. He sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Sigh! In the end, people are old. The daughters they give birth to are extroverted!" Xiao Faang said a few words of appreciation, but there was a faint trace of joy on his brow.
Hearing Xiao Faang's sigh, Chen Tianming suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Faang. He smiled and said, "Uncle is actually still very young. Uncle, you have seen all the cultivators. Which one of them isn't as old as a monster? " As he spoke, Chen Tianming drew his hand and placed a skewer of roasted meat under his nose to take a sniff. With a satisfied smile, he casually distributed the skewer of roasted blue leopard meat to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao cheered and then happily received it. Don't look at how she couldn't bear to see Chen Tianming hunting the blue raccoon back then. When it was her turn to eat it, she had already forgotten about it. She couldn't care less about burning her hands. She twisted her hands and tore the meat into her mouth. She made her hands so greasy that the corners of her mouth were filled with grease. He discovered that Chen Tianming was peeking at his table manners. Xiao Xiao snorted and turned around while holding the meat. She was having a great time eating!
Looking at Xiao Xiao eating like a kitten, Chen Tianming couldn't help but think of the time when he hadn't cultivated a few years ago. When he first met Xiao Xiao, he was attracted by her tenderness and innocence. And that unforgettable "mark of love." Everything seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
Xiao Xiao, who seemed to have felt Chen Tianming's gaze, couldn't help but turn around to look at Chen Tianming, who had a piece of blue lithium meat in her mouth. Feeling the strange look in Chen Tianming's eyes, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but blush. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Faang called out, "Kid. Kid, hey! My meat is going to be burnt. Do you want me to eat charcoal ash?!"
" Uh! " Chen Tianming suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Faang with some embarrassment. At the same time, he turned his head around. He turned the skewer around and looked at the slightly blackened blue beaver on the skewer. Chen Tianming smiled bitterly and turned to Xiao Faang. "Sorry, he said. Uncle, wait for a while. I think you will have to eat half of the charcoal ashes."
Xiao Faang's face lit up and he waved his hand. He threw the bones of the pigeon into the fire and said with a meaningful smile, "I am old and it doesn't matter if I eat some ashes. But don't get distracted. I'm afraid you won't even know that your hand is burnt. At that time,xiao Xiao will throw a tantrum at my half-old bones. I can't stand it! "
Chen Tianming couldn't help but feel his face heat up when he heard Xiao Faang's hearty laughter.
This meal was not peaceful. He looked at Xiao Faang and thought, the way Xiao Xiao's father looked at him was like a father-in-law choosing a son-in-law. Although Chen Tianming often came to accompany Xiao Xiao during this period of time, it was Xiao Faang's first time seeing him. He stared at Xiao Faang with such a hot gaze and even a profound look.
It was uncomfortable. In any case, Chen Tianming felt uncomfortable sitting on his back.
Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, did not care about anything. All her attention was focused on the fight with the grilled meat. She even ignored the feeling of Chen Tianming, who seemed to be in the middle of a fire. Chen Tianming could not help but look at her. He almost threw his eyeballs away.
Finally, Xiao Faang laughed twice. He probably saw that Chen Tianming was not feeling well and felt that it was about time. He could not help but look away and took a bite of the blue leopard meat. He laughed softly. "Be good to my daughter! En? "
"Er... Yes, it's uncle!" Chen Tianming hastily promised.
"Hmm? Do you still want to continue calling me uncle?" Xiao Faang glared at Chen Tianming again, then looked up at the night sky and said, "Well, that's true. I don't have the right to be someone's father now, do I?"
Chen Tianming's heart thumped when he heard this. A trace of sweat immediately appeared on his back. He thought to himself, "This father-in-law is too direct!" However, he pretended to be surprised, but his heart was filled with joy as he looked at Xiao Faang. Xiao Faang let out a cold snort and turned his face away.
Chen Tianming naturally knew that this was a good time for him to climb up from the ground. He immediately got up from the ground. He turned his hand and took out a bottle of Maotai from the bracelet, then quickly ran to Xiao Faang. "Uh... Dad, dad! I made a mistake just now. Now punish yourself with a bottle! " Chen Tianming pushed open the cap of the bottle and ignored Xiao Faang's words. He raised his head and poured it into his throat. With just this bottle of wine, no matter how high Chen Tianming's cultivation base was, a trace of alcohol could not help but appear on his face.
Who knew that Xiao Faang was also a person who would not forgive others. Seeing Chen Tianming drink the bottle one by one, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Seeing Chen Tianming finish drinking the bottle, Xiao Faang stopped smiling and stared fiercely again. "Kid, do I look very old?"
Chen Tianming had just drank the bottle, but he did not react. When he heard Xiao Faang's words, Chen Tianming could not help but shiver. One should know that this wine was real. He didn't use a trace of Genuine Qi to refine it. This was completely what Chen Tianming thought. It would be easy to refine it with the Genuine Qi, but it wasn't worth it to do so. It was also not advisable for others to give their daughter to you. Do you still want to use this fake gimmick?
Xiao Xiao, who was at the side, had heard Xiao Faang's words long ago. However, she kept her head down and blushed. She pretended not to hear him and did not dare to interrupt. When she heard Chen Tianming call Xiao Faang "Dad," Xiao Xiao felt even more nervous and felt extremely sweet.
Xiao Faang naturally saw how his daughter looked like. But now he just wanted to be unreasonable. He wanted to get rid of this stinky brat who stole his precious daughter! Perhaps he thought that he had given his daughter away. If he did not get back some of her original money, this transaction would be too much of a loss. This really did not fit the mentality of a businessman.
Chen Tianming had no choice. He gritted his teeth, turned his hand, and took out a bottle of Maotai from the bracelet. He pushed open the bottle cap and steeled his heart. He thought, 'If you die, then die once!'
"Dad,i made a mistake. I deserve to be punished!" He raised his head and drank another bottle. As he drank, he felt that the world was spinning. He was afraid that he could not hold the bottle in his hand, so he bit the bottle with his teeth.
After two bottles of wine, Chen Tianming could no longer tell who was who. He shook his head and did not use the Genuine Qi to refine the alcohol in his stomach. He used his blurred eyes to find Xiao Faang's position, but his scattered eyes looked at everything overlapping.
"Dad,i... Uh... thank you..." Chen Tianming burped a few times.
Xiao Xiao saw Chen Tianming drinking like this and could not bear it, but she also knew that her father did not have any bad intentions. He was just using Chen Tianming to brush it.
She took a few steps forward to support Chen Tianming's swaying body. Xiao Xiao glared at Xiao Faang hatefully. "Dad, look, you made Tianming drink like this!"
Xiao Faang grinned and mocked Xiao Xiao indifferently. "What's wrong? Xiao Xiao asked. She had already started to walk away before she even got married. What's wrong with this kid? I'm doing this for your own good, so that he won't bully you in the future! You, you, you're really angering me to death!"
Xiao Xiao's face became hot from Xiao Faang's words. She lowered her head and did not dare to raise her head to meet Xiao Faang's gaze.
Chen Tianming was completely drunk. He held up the bottle of wine and said in a serious manner, "Th-thank you,dad! Thank... Thank you,dad! Uh... "
Xiao Faang shook his head helplessly. "This kid's alcohol tolerance is really bad. This is really not as good as mine at all. Back then, when I drank three or four bottles of white wine, my expression didn't change at all. How could he be like this... Sigh, uh, right. Kid, give me a few bottles of Maotai. I'm getting tired of drinking ape fruit wine!"
...
He slept until Tianming woke up. The morning at the lake was a little damp and cold. A few morning birds chirped in the forest far away. Chen Tianming suddenly shivered. He propped up his heavy eyelids and opened them a little. Looking at the slightly white sky, he could not help but feel a little dry in his mouth. He struggled to get up and smelled the alcohol that had not dispersed throughout the night. Chen Tianming smiled bitterly and raised his hand to rub his slightly swollen temples. He turned around and walked to the lakeside a few meters away. He stretched his body and used his hand to scoop up a few drops of water from the lake and sprinkled it on his face. He took a deep breath. Only then did he feel a little better.
It had been a long time since he slept so deeply. Ever since he started cultivating, Chen Tianming didn't even need to sleep. He used his daily routine to cultivate. Even if he did sleep, his mind was always tense. He didn't dare to relax for a moment. He didn't drink like he did last night. Moreover, he slept so soundly? If he really encountered an accident, then it would be an injustice even if he died!
Chen Tianming tidied his clothes and looked at the bonfire that was still smoking not far away. There was also Xiao Faang, who was lying not far away, and Xiao Xiao, who was curled up in a ball, who was sleeping. Chen Tianming helplessly smiled and quickly walked to Xiao Xiao's side. He took out a slightly thicker shirt from the bracelet and put it on Xiao Xiao's body. Seeing Xiao Xiao's sweet sleeping face, Chen Tianming could not help but be somewhat entranced, "Silly girl!"
