My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 26: Immortal Drunk

“Daddy, when can we start eating? I’m hungry.”

Lu Qingyun puffed out her cheeks and asked a little unhappily.

Although those at the Monarch Realm had long since stopped needing food, under Lu Xunxian’s guidance, the two little ones still insisted on eating three meals a day.

Of course, everything they ate was Spiritual Cuisine, so there would naturally be no impurities left in their bodies.

The moment Lu Qingyun finished speaking, the private room door opened in response. In the next instant, several attendants walked in carrying fine dishes and set them on the table before Lu Xunxian and the others.

“Honored guests, please enjoy.”

As expected of the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant, which was renowned throughout the entire Tiansheng Continent—even the attendants were at the Earth Realm.

Of course, it might also have been because this was a private room reserved for Chen Wangu.

Looking at the dishes before them, complete in color, aroma, and taste, with Spiritual Energy even spilling faintly from them, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun could not help swallowing.

But they did not start eating immediately. Instead, they both looked toward Lu Xunxian.

“Go ahead.”

As soon as their father spoke, Lu Xiaoyao immediately took a bite. The moment it entered his mouth, he felt a burst of incomparable deliciousness rush straight through him.

This flavor surpassed every food he had ever tasted before.

But then he noticed that there was no movement from his sister’s side, so he turned his head in curiosity.

He saw Lu Qingyun pick up a piece of food from the dish before her—a piece of meat from a Great Demon at the Emperor Realm—and hold it out to Lu Xunxian.

“Daddy first.”

Lu Xunxian froze for a moment, then smiled.

“Oh, Daddy isn’t hungry. You eat first.”

But Lu Qingyun shook her head and held the meat firmly in front of him.

“No. Daddy eats first. Daddy works so hard taking care of us. If Daddy doesn’t eat, then Qingyun won’t eat either.”

Hearing those words, Lu Xunxian could not help feeling deeply moved. As expected of his precious little girl—she was actually starting to care about him already.

“All right, all right. Daddy will eat now.”

Only after seeing Lu Xunxian eat it did Lu Qingyun finally reveal a satisfied smile and happily begin eating as well.

What Lu Xunxian did not see, however, was the sly look Lu Qingyun shot toward Lu Xiaoyao.

Sorry, Brother. Such was the struggle for the heir’s position.

Lu Xiaoyao stared wide-eyed at the scene, unable to believe that this was something his usually sweet and well-behaved little sister would do.

But he quickly reacted as well. If he did not do something, would Daddy stop loving him as much?

With that thought, Lu Xiaoyao followed suit and picked up a piece of meat before bringing it to Lu Xunxian.

“Daddy, eat mine too.”

But what Lu Xiaoyao had expected did not happen. Lu Xunxian simply smiled and shook his head.

“Thank you, Xiaoyao, but Daddy is already full. You and your sister eat.”

“No, Daddy has to eat. Daddy carries too much for this family. Xiaoyao has to grow up quickly so he can help share Daddy’s burdens.”

Now that his son had said that much, Lu Xunxian could hardly refuse, so he accepted it with a smile and ate it.

He was deeply moved as well. His son really had grown up. He was already saying things like helping his old father shoulder the family’s burdens.

After returning to his seat, Lu Xiaoyao shot his sister a look that plainly said, If you can do it, so can I.

Lu Xunxian paid no attention to the scheming between his son and daughter. In his eyes, it was nothing more than normal interaction between siblings.

At that moment, before the private room door had even opened, a hearty laugh sounded from outside.

“Hahaha! Brother Chen, you came to my Immortal Intoxication Restaurant without contacting me first. Are you not taking me for a friend?”

As soon as the words fell, the private room door opened, and Xu Tianxian strode in.

But upon seeing Lu Xunxian, he paused slightly and turned to Chen Wangu.

“Brother Chen, this is...?”

Chen Wangu coughed lightly and replied with complete seriousness, “This man here is my close friend. You only need to know that his strength is evenly matched with mine.”

The moment he heard that, Xu Tianxian could no longer remain calm.

He knew full well how powerful Chen Wangu was. There could not have been many people in the entire Tiansheng Continent who were evenly matched with him.

Yet Xu Tianxian had at least heard of every Saint Emperor of any standing on the continent, while he had never heard of Lu Xunxian before. Could he be some newly emerged expert?

Still, since Chen Wangu had put it that way, Xu Tianxian naturally would not doubt it.

“This Daoist Friend here, I am the owner of the Immortal Intoxication Restaurant. You may simply call me Xu Tianxian. How should I address you, Daoist Friend?”

“Just call me Lu Xunxian.”

The way Lu Xunxian treated others depended on how they treated him.

Xu Tianxian was someone worth taking seriously.

“So it is Daoist Friend Lu. Come, now that we have made each other’s acquaintance, we absolutely must not leave until we are thoroughly drunk today.”

Xu Tianxian was a little puzzled inwardly. He had never heard of a Saint Emperor called Lu Xunxian either.

But he knew Chen Wangu well and knew the man was not one to make wild claims, so he waved his hand and took several bottles of fine liquor out of his Storage Ring.

Whether Lu Xunxian was truly that strong or not would become clear over drinks. This liquor of his could make even those at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm drunk.

The moment Chen Wangu saw the liquor, his eyes lit up.

“You, Xu Tianxian, finally brought out the Immortal Drunk.”

“Come now, am I not giving you face? Here, Brother Lu, let us drink together!”

Xu Tianxian filled a large bowl for Lu Xunxian with Immortal Drunk. In an instant, a rich wine fragrance spread through the surroundings.

Seeing this, Lu Xunxian frowned slightly and raised a hand to place a barrier around the two little ones, isolating them from the aroma.

As for Wangcai and the White Jade Horse, they fell asleep the moment they smelled it.

“Daddy, what happened to Wangcai and the White Jade Horse?”

Looking at the sleeping Wangcai and White Jade Horse, Lu Qingyun asked curiously.

“Them? Perhaps they were too tired and fell asleep.”

“Oh.”

Lu Qingyun did not doubt it and went back to enjoying the feast before her.

“Old Lu, you really must taste this Immortal Drunk properly. Back then, even I could not last more than five bowls before getting drunk.”

Chen Wangu boasted to Lu Xunxian. He truly wanted to see how many bowls even someone as strong as Lu Xunxian could drink.

And this Immortal Drunk was no ordinary brew. It had been made from all kinds of precious spiritual treasures found throughout the Tiansheng Continent and had been brewed for a full five thousand years before it was completed.

Even Xu Tianxian did not have much of it in stock.

If Chen Wangu had not come today, Xu Tianxian might not have been willing to bring out the Immortal Drunk at all.

“Of course. I want to see what it tastes like too.”

Looking at the Immortal Drunk before him, Lu Xunxian could not help revealing a faint smile.

It had been a very long time since he last drank. The last time he had a drink had been... the last time.

And he was genuinely curious whether he could still get drunk in his current state.

“Come, Brother Lu, let us drink!”

Xu Tianxian filled full bowls for both himself and Chen Wangu, then clinked Lu Xunxian’s bowl and drained his own in a single gulp, his face full of satisfaction.

Seeing that, Lu Xunxian picked up his bowl. After a brief moment of thought, he also drank it down in one go.

At once, a sharp, fiery sensation spread through his throat, while the rich aroma of the wine flooded his entire body.

At the same time, he could sense a current of Spiritual Energy invisibly attempting to raise his cultivation.

But for someone like him, who had already transcended the Saint Emperor Realm, such a thing was naturally impossible.

“Brother Lu, come on, down it!”

By now, Chen Wangu and Xu Tianxian beside him were already flushed with drink and were calling out to Lu Xunxian.

Lu Xunxian had not been this happy in a very long time, so naturally he did not refuse. He drank heartily with Chen Wangu and Xu Tianxian.

During this time, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun also wanted to try a taste of the Immortal Drunk, but Lu Xunxian stopped them.

What a joke. Had they not seen Wangcai and the White Jade Horse collapse after merely smelling the aroma of the wine?

If Xu Tianxian had not set up a restriction inside the private room, then the aroma of the Immortal Drunk alone would likely have knocked out every guest in the entire Immortal Intoxication Restaurant, and they would not wake up until three months later.
