Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Maid Tavern, The Incident of That Year! (Seeking Follow-Up Reads)

"Are we not going to help with poverty alleviation today?" Xiao Ye asked.

Liu Huo, wanting to make a good impression on his son-in-law, declared righteously:

"What poverty aid? Honestly, I only go to such places once every few years, and I heard about doing good deeds through others."

"As Beast Masters, we should be guarding the front line, slaying demons and eradicating monsters!"

Xiao Ye’s eyelid twitched and pointed to the bright sign above their heads, asking:

"So, do you also come to this place only once every few years?"

[Maid Tavern]

Liu Huo’s expression turned solemn, "Of course, it’s only because I ran into you, my little brother, that I felt inclined to come here this time."

Xiao Ye: ...

I don’t believe you, you crafty old man!

As the two entered, they found themselves in a magnificent hall with the floor laid out with tens of thousands of 100-carat diamonds, and the walls adorned with all kinds of famous liquor, their rich aroma filling the room.

Standing in front of the reception desk were two rows of beautiful girls dressed in revealing maid outfits.

"Welcome, sirs!"

With their sweet, pleasant voices greeting them, Liu Huo, with his arm around Xiao Ye’s shoulder, approached the reception.

"May I ask what the two gentlemen need..." said the balding reception manager with a professional fake smile.

Liu Huo interrupted him and, like an old hand, threw out a [Super VIP Card], giving the bald man a wink:

"Get us a private room and bring out the best liquor in your establishment."

"Remember, we are here to drink in all decency!"

The bald reception manager, having attended to more than ten thousand guests, instantly understood the meaning behind the scruffy, bearded old man’s words.

Coming to the Maid Tavern and insisting on proper drinking, isn’t that just the opposite, specifically requesting improper services?

"I’ve got you covered. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!"

"Here, you’ll take the two gentlemen to the Super VIP Suite. Have the ace maid team send over a couple of lively beauties to serve them."

Subsequently, Liu Huo and Xiao Ye were led to an elegant private room.

Once seated, one glance to the side revealed lush green bamboo outside the window, and a gentle breeze caressing their faces, creating a very comfortable atmosphere.

At the other end of the private room, a waitress was playing the zither, with the crisp and beautiful music soothing the restless hearts.

"Hehe! Uncle is going to have a chat with you about the most beautiful assistant, Liu Ya. No problem, little brother?"

Across from Xiao Ye, Liu Huo leaned against the window sill, grinning to reveal two large front teeth.

"If uncle is treating me to drinks, ask anything you like." Xiao Ye replied.

At that moment, a knock came from outside the private room, thump, thump, thump! Soon after, two beauties in revealing maid outfits, each carrying drinkware, entered.

"Good day, gentlemen, we are the ace maids of the Maid Tavern, in charge of your entire drinking experience."

Their youthful faces held bright, flower-like smiles.

They approached Xiao Ye and Liu Huo’s seats, ready to serve them drinks.

After placing the bottles properly, they filled two cups and then held them to Xiao Ye and Liu Huo’s lips, sweetly smiling, "Sir, please have a drink."

Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched, "Is the service always this attentive?"

The ace maid explained, "Yes, sir. However you wish to drink, we’ll accommodate."

Xiao Ye as if discovering a new world, "Oh? This kind of service is available? What’s the most popular drinking service you offer?"

The ace maid smiled, "Sir, we do have that. The most popular service involves imported liquor."

Xiao Ye looked confused, glancing at the glass in her hand. Is the drink imported from abroad?

As if to clear Xiao Ye’s confusion, the ace maid demonstrated herself, took a swig with her plump lips, and then, with pouted lips, moved toward Xiao Ye’s face.

"!!"

Xiao Ye grabbed her by the head and pushed her back, exclaiming in surprise, "So it’s that kind of imported liquor!"

"Alright, I get it. I’ll drink the liquor myself; you just help with pouring."

Watching this scene from across the table, Liu Huo nodded in satisfaction, his eyes showing approval.

Hmm, my son-in-law is a decent man—better than me in this respect.

He had taken a liking to it the first time he came, and then came daily for imported liquor.

The ace maid beside Liu Huo also asked if he needed any imported liquor.

Xiao Ye looked over, and Liu Huo grandly waved his hand saying, "No need! I don’t require maid service when I drink."

"I am a gentleman of good character, never indulging in lust; do you think I would take to this kind of imported liquor?"

He needed to make a good impression on Xiao Ye, so this time he would resist, not drinking imported liquor today. He would drink it another time when he was alone.

A flicker of surprise crossed Xiao Ye’s eyes—had his father-in-law, who frequently engaged in philanthropy, changed his ways today, becoming proper?

However, never indulging in lust? If Xiao Ye believed that, then pigs might fly!

The two charming ace maids, upon hearing this, both looked at Liu Huo with admiration.

"Cough cough, this is good liquor." Liu Huo took a swig and asked, "Young man, we must be fated to meet at the school gate like this."

"How about we become sworn brothers today? Will you take me as your godfather?"

Godfather?

Xiao Ye shook his head and got straight to the point, "Father-in-law, you are Liu Ya’s father; I recognized you yesterday."

"So there’s no need to hide, and I wasn’t deceiving you yesterday either, I am Liu Ya’s husband."

"Pfft!" Liu Huo, shocked, spat out the liquor in his mouth, drenching the ace maid beside him.

"You actually recognized me yesterday?"

Goodness, Liu Huo inwardly exclaimed!

So his impression on his son-in-law was established yesterday?

Thinking back to his encouragements from yesterday, urging his son-in-law to do more charity and support the poor, Liu Huo felt terribly embarrassed.

What kind of father-in-law brings his son-in-law to get foot massages and suggests going frequently?

"Yes, you resemble Liu Ya so much, if I couldn’t recognize you, would I be blind?" Xiao Ye retorted.

"Uh!" Liu Huo touched his unkempt beard and hair, surprised that he was recognized despite his careful disguise.

"Alright, now that we know each other, today, I came out with my father-in-law because there’s something I want to understand completely."

Xiao Ye pushed away the wine glass presented by the ace maid and stared intently at Liu Huo.

Upon hearing this, Liu Huo’s face grew solemn, and he spoke with weight, "You want to understand the incident of Liu Ya’s mother’s sacrifice."

Xiao Ye: "Exactly! That incident caused Liu Ya tremendous emotional trauma, and as her husband, I need to understand it fully."

Liu Huo: ...

He had intended to question his son-in-law, but now he was the one being questioned.

"This matter, actually, goes back one hundred and fifty years ago..." Liu Huo began to elaborate.

After listening, Xiao Ye’s brows furrowed—a matter that was related to the Supreme Demon Beasts.

At that time, Liu Huo and his wife were top-tier guardians under the Hong Family Patriarch, specifically tasked with the safety of the Hong family offspring.

At one point, when the Hong family offspring were out in the base city for leisure, they unexpectedly came under a Beast Tide attack.

Their duty was to ensure the safety of the Hong family offspring.

The Beast Tide came too suddenly, and when a Supreme Demon Beast descended, to ensure the safety of the Hong family offspring, Liu Huo led the protectors back, while his wife stayed behind to fend off the Demon Beasts.

In the end, his wife was sacrificed, and Liu Huo returned safely with the Hong family offspring.

Xiao Ye asked, "The Hong family offspring? Who are they?"

Looking left and right at the ace maids, Liu Huo transmitted his voice into Xiao Ye’s ear, "Hong Tao, Hong Lie, and Hong Caier—the three of them!"
