I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means
Chapter 956 - 575: Collision of Two Hearts_2

Do you have something to tell me?

Lis shook his head and began to prepare.

The originally prepared hidden place had been completely destroyed in the aftermath of Taya's legendary breakthrough.

After all, the magic arrays Lis set up there for concealing and detecting were not capable of withstanding the invasion of Taya's Legendary Rank strength.

The underground room Lis had arranged beforehand had collapsed completely, but thankfully Lis had noticed something wrong and had packed up all the precious equipment in advance.

Lis thought for a moment, then simply took Taya's hand, and the two entered the room inside [Sarmekhal's copper ring].

This space was left by Matteus for himself. He had invested considerable energy into this ring, and with the Legendary Rank power it contained, it was hard for others to discover and breach it from the outside.

It was safer and more hidden than Lis's previously arranged underground residence. If it weren't for the concern that Taya's breakthrough might be delayed, affecting her ascent to the Legendary Rank, living inside the ring when resting wouldn't have been a problem for Lis and Taya.

Lis's current space magic attainment was still insufficient to create and maintain a personal space for long periods, so this [Sarmekhal's copper ring] was still quite convenient for Lis.

Taya followed Lis into the room in the ring without any reservation.

During their previous journey, she had been here before and had placed some inconvenient items here as well.

Upon entering, Taya let go of Lis's hand and began setting up on the table in the living room.

First, she took out a tablecloth with light white stripes and spread it on the table, then carefully took a transparent glass vase from her storage ring and placed it at the center of the table.

Inside the slim-necked vase was a bouquet of white other shore flowers. The fresh white petals and green leaves were still adorned with a touch of dew, and a faint fragrance lingered in the room.

Then, Taya took out a variety of food from her storage ring, and Lis glanced over to see that many were specialty foods from the small town of Ihelos.

Were these prepared in advance?

Lis glanced at Taya and found the little girl enthusiastically arranging things.

Unsure of what Taya intended, Lis turned and entered the adjoining room to start preparing.

Golden Shrimp Balls, Northern Smoked Meat, White Sauce Vegetables, Knight's Roasted Steak, Squirrel Fish, Jade Mixed Pouches, and more.

With Lis's current strength, crafting these dishes took little time, and he had already prepared various food ingredients in his storage ring.

Soon, the table was filled with piping hot delicacies.

"Wow!"

Taya looked at the array of dishes with shining eyes.

So many delicious things, she didn't know where to start trying them.

These days spent in closed cultivation made her long for Lis's handmade dishes.

Lis stood aside, watching the joyful Taya, who now seemed more like a neighbor girl delighted by food than a newly ascended Legendary Rank being.

Hmm?

Lis quickly spotted two exquisite wine bottles placed at the very center of the table.

One slender bottle held a deep and alluring red liquid, like the final glimmer of sunset across the ocean, profound yet passionate. The bottle's design was unique, most notably featuring a coconut tree motif etched in gold with flowing and delicate lines, adding an exotic and luxurious touch to the wine.

The other bottle's golden liquid caught the eye, the hue sparkling like starlight under the surrounding lamps, exuding a sense of wealth and nobility. The wine was clear and transparent, refracting countless rays of light when pierced by beams, emitting an enticing gloss.

Are these... the most expensive bottles from the Golden Coconut Tavern?

When did Taya manage to acquire these two bottles?

Lis was curious, recalling how Old Milo would frequently boast about them in the tavern, treating these as his cherished collection.

These two types of wine were very limited, displayed at the topmost shelf behind the counter, with Old Milo boasting about them daily, yet he had never seen them sold.

How did Ya'er get these two bottles from Old Milo, and judging by the setup, does she intend to drink to celebrate?

Lis didn't think too much of it, guessing Taya had decided on a whim.

Taya pulled Lis to sit down, her eyes glancing at the two beautiful wines, causing her cheeks to blush slightly.

She recalled the scene when she purchased the wine from Old Milo.

...

The second seven-day cycle, during the day at the Golden Coconut Tavern,

"Boss Milo, which is the best wine you have here?"

Taya and Jue had just returned from outside, and after parting ways with Jue at the seaside, she arrived at the tavern counter, asking Old Milo in a low voice as he sat behind, idly passing the time.

"Oh?"

Old Milo looked at Taya, intrigued.

These past two evenings, Lis would occasionally bring Taya to sit at the counter.

Lis would have a cocktail made, but Taya rarely ordered, not seeming to particularly enjoy spirits.

Why the sudden interest in buying wine?

"I have wines of all varieties here, Miss Taya. Which kind would you like?"

Old Milo straightened up, looking at Taya in front of him.

"I want the best and the most expensive, one that easily intoxicates."

Taya whispered to Old Milo, as if worried about being overheard by others.
