This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 79: An Unexpected Person

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: An Unexpected Person

"Mountain Solitude Wine, exclusive to Ximu Mountain, is indeed a rare sight," Yu Gejing said with a smile.

"You are absolutely right, sir! Then I won’t disturb your wine tasting any further." The waiter smiled amiably in reply, recognizing the wine wasn’t unusual, but being able to name its origin was enough to prove that he was a friend of elder sister’s.

"This waiter is quite extraordinary," He Zhiqing commented as he watched the young man deftly manage each table.

Su Youyi nodded in agreement.

Liang Yi examined the waiter a few times and surmised that this person must also be a cultivator, with a level that was at least higher than his. However, his own level was too low at the moment to determine the other’s exact level, and it wasn’t appropriate to start a fight just to find out.

Moreover, he hadn’t seen this person in his previous life. But the mere fact that Brother He would make such a remark meant there must be something exceptional about him.

"This person is at least of the Fourth Realm in cultivation, and he is deliberately concealing it; it’s perfectly normal that you can’t detect anything unusual, Brother," Su Youyi explained softly, noticing her elder’s confusion.

"Fourth Realm? If he isn’t hiding his true identity, he would be considered a prodigy. Then why would he be working here as a waiter?" Liang Yi was puzzled—who has waiters over forty levels at their restaurant? Even the city management of Huaxia City isn’t that impressive, right?

"The second son of the Beitang Family, the younger brother of Beitang Xue, Beitang Hao," Yu Gejing revealed openly, making his identity clear.

"A member of the Beitang Family, no wonder. Then the owner of this restaurant must be...," He Zhiqing suddenly realized; if it’s the second young master of a first-rate power such as the Beitang Family, it would make sense for someone of his age to have such a realm.

"That’s right, it’s Beitang Xue herself. She’s the one busy cooking in the kitchen. Instead of cultivating properly, she loves to stay in the kitchen and experiment with various new dishes," Yu Gejing commented, taking a sip of Mountain Tea.

"Cough cough cough!" Liang Yi choked on the drink and started coughing profusely while Su Youyi hurriedly patted her senior’s back gently.

"Senior, take it slow. Even though the wine tastes good, there’s no need to rush through it like that," Su Youyi scolded, frowning.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s just that the wine is so delicious I drank too fast," Liang Yi said apologetically, waving his hand at the others after his breathing settled.

It couldn’t be helped; hearing this sudden news without breaking the wine glass from shock was already a feat. The owner and chef of this restaurant is the eldest Miss of the Beitang Family, Beitang Xue??

In a past life, there were players who posted about how the owner of this restaurant was incredibly beautiful and the food was unmatched. However, many players who came following the fame never saw the legendary owner, though they fell in love with the food here. The initial poster on the forum also disappeared.

After one version update, for some reason, the restaurant suddenly closed, and the owner who never appeared gradually lost the players’ interest.

Then, another event caught the players’ attention—the eldest Miss of the Beitang Family had accepted an invitation from Little Bamboo House and was officially hired as the head of catering, establishing a friendly alliance with Little Bamboo House in the process.

Unfortunately for Liang Yi, the person he had followed to learn culinary arts in the past life was this very Beitang Xue! The ordinary rolling pin still in his backpack was personally given to him by Beitang Xue!

Thinking of the causes and consequences, Liang Yi suspected that Fang Zhi truly did save Beitang Xue’s life, but it was probably Yu Gejing who sought his father’s help when Beitang Xue faced a life-threatening danger.

The close friendship between Beitang Xue and Fang Zhi was probably just a casual lie—given the vast difference in their statuses, friendship was impossible! The real situation was likely that Beitang Xue and Yu Gejing were close friends, and Fang Zhi was her lifesaver.

Therefore, Fang Zhi took some practice works from Beitang Xue every day and placed them in the inn at Pan Yang Town to amuse the players.

After understanding the whole story, Liang Yi didn’t have any other thoughts. He and Beitang Xue were not familiar with each other at all, having hardly spoken a few words. A rolling pin is standard for every Spirit Chef. The favor he owed only allowed him to learn from her for a month, and how much he could learn depended on the player’s own comprehension.

"It’s really... a bizarre twist of fate! I should have thought of it when I heard about Ximu Mountain."

Ximu Mountain is a Spirit Mountain controlled by the Beitang lineage, and its specialty is the Lonely Mountain Wine. Liang Yi truly didn’t expect to encounter Beitang Xue here; after all, the first time she appeared to be known by the players was when a player went on a mission to deliver a message to the Beitang Family and was captivated by Beitang Xue’s beauty, even posting a video of her on the forum.

That Beitang Hao also has a not insignificant reputation; after all, he is the designated next head of the Beitang Family. There are no few players who wish to establish good relations with him and gain his support.

"Since Junior Brother Liang said so, then I must savor it well." He Zhiqing picked up the wine jug and poured himself a full cup, then took a light sniff. "The aroma is strong with an aftertaste, not bad."

With one sip, He Zhiqing closed his eyes to thoroughly experience it.

"The taste is rich and mellow, with a deep conception; this wine must be at the peak of fifth-grade, right?" He Zhiqing exclaimed in admiration and asked Yu Gejing.

"That’s correct, the Mountain Solitude Wine indeed is at the peak of fifth-grade." Yu Gejing nodded affirmatively.

On the user interface for players, there are distinctions of white, blue, purple, orange, and golden, but the natives cannot see the quality of things. They have always made divisions from the lowest Ninth Grade to the highest, a nine-tiered ranking system up to First-grade.

White quality corresponds to Ninth Grade, blue represents seventh to eighth grades, and the highest golden quality corresponds to first and second grades.

Among the skills that Liang Yi had learned, only Endless Dao and talisman had reached the perfection of First-grade, along with Qinglian Creation which is also First-grade. The rest of the golden skills are Second Grade.

The fifth-grade Mountain Solitude Wine being offered before the meal signified its considerable value. However, the proprietress of this establishment really didn’t care about this; after all, such wine was supplied only to acquaintances, and ordinary customers did not receive such treatment.

Su Youyi poured herself a cup as well, just about to drink when it was snatched away by Liang Yi.

Liang Yi poured half of the wine from the cup before handing it back to his junior sister.

"Girls should drink less when they are out and about. I know you’re of high cultivation but some liquors can even make a Cultivator of the Seventh Realm fall drunk," Liang Yi tapped his junior sister’s forehead, cautioning her.

"I got it, Senior Brother. I can only drink when you’re by my side, okay?" Su Youyi held the wine cup and smiled brightly at Liang Yi.

"Hmm, that’s more like it. You can only drink a little when our master and I are present." Liang Yi nodded in agreement, endorsing his junior sister’s response.

"Then Senior Brother, you must also promise that you can only get drunk when I am present, okay?" Su Youyi blinked innocently.

Only Yu Gejing noticed a hint of slyness in her eyes, nodded satisfactorily; a smart person learns and applies knowledge so quickly.

"Uh, sure." Liang Yi pondered for a moment; since his junior sister had agreeably accepted his requirements, it didn’t seem unreasonable for him to agree to one of her requests. However, Liang Yi didn’t notice that Su Youyi was talking about getting drunk, not just drinking less.

"So only I can take advantage of Senior Brother when he is drunk." Su Youyi clenched her fist in excitement, her plan succeeded! She exchanged glances with Yu Gejing and saw the encouragement in his eyes.

Being such an outstanding person as her senior brother should not be taken advantage of by others when drunk; only she, Su Youyi, could do so.
