The tavern wasn't big, with only seven or eight tables inside, and no fancy ingredients, just some home-style dishes.
Very few Soul Masters came here to eat and drink; it was mostly ordinary people, and even more so, ordinary people busy with life.
Bibi Dong took Liam to a corner and sat down, replying:
"Yes, I come often."
"It's very quiet here. The good thing about drinking here is that almost no one recognizes me."
"You don't mind, do you?"
Bibi Dong suddenly looked at Liam, after all, the place she brought him to was too low-class, just a place for ordinary people.
Liam replied with a smile:
"How could I? Being able to drink with Sister Dong is already my greatest honor, how could I be picky about the place?"
"Furthermore, this is actually my original standard of living. Before I awakened and changed, it was basically like this."
Bibi Dong nodded and looked at Liam seriously for a couple of seconds, realizing that this guy was truly exceptionally handsome. His features were refined, well-defined, his bone structure was strong, his eyes and brows were heroic, and his temperament was extraordinary. He had both a rugged and a refined side, combined with his unique aura, making him a rare beautiful man in the world.
That little white-eyed wolf Nana really has good taste.
Bibi Dong couldn't help but sigh, feeling a bit envious in her heart.
If the person she had met back then was Liam, everything would have been very happy, just like that dream, with a pair of lovely daughters and a happy home.
While thinking, Bibi Dong casually poured two cups of wine, pushing one towards Liam and saying:
"I toast you, and I also want to say thank you."
Liam clinked glasses with Bibi Dong and drained the small cup in one gulp.
"What does Sister Dong want to thank me for?"
Bibi Dong put down her cup, first refilled Liam's, then her own, and replied:
"Thank you for letting me be a normal person again!"
"Now that I am in a high position and look back, I can imagine how naive I used to be."
Liam nodded, looking at Bibi Dong dressed in plain clothes. Although she no longer had the Pope's aura bonus, she now looked more like a beautiful young woman.
Setting aside the Pope's noble and elegant demeanor, her face and figure now had a unique charm.
Of course!
Is this thank you just going to be spoken?
Don't you want to learn from Auntie Ling Yuan?
Liam thought about pleasant things in his heart, and replied faintly:
"Life, you know!"
"Life is not just about the struggles before you, but also poetry and distant horizons."
"Now that you can be yourself again, your life hasn't been lived in vain, and it's also the best for Qian Renxue and Hu Liena."
Bibi Dong was feeling a bit happy, but upon hearing the name Qian Renxue, her heart ached again.
She, Bibi Dong, had become a new person.
but
How could the lost maternal love and the coldness her poor daughter suffered be compensated?
Bibi Dong's expression darkened, and she drank a cup by herself.
Liam also scratched his head awkwardly. It seemed like mentioning Qian Renxue had made Bibi Dong unhappy?
Bibi Dong glanced at the other customers in the tavern and said in a low voice:
"Actually, a simple life like theirs should be very happy, right?"
Liam shook his head and said faintly:
"It's also very tough, constantly busy just to survive."
"Of course, everyone's life is difficult; comfort is for the dead."
"Heh heh."
Bibi Dong heard this, looked directly at Liam, and said, "From what I see, I don't think you have anything difficult!"
Liam also laughed and said:
"If you put it that way, I really can't find any fault."
"The world is so big, there are always some special people. Some are born with vast wealth, while others work hard their whole lives just to have enough to eat."
Liam picked up his cup, and Bibi Dong followed suit, the two of them draining their cups in one gulp.
On the other side.
At the bun stall outside the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena led a group of girls to visit.
Seeing so many people, the old man was a bit surprised and said, "Your Highness the Saintess, why did you bring so many people to eat buns in the middle of the day today?"
Hu Liena motioned for everyone to find a place to squeeze in and sit down, replying with a smile, "They want to try your buns, so I brought them over."
"Old Hai, was there a very handsome man eating buns here just now?"
The old man nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Yes!"
"That young man is quite handsome and interesting to talk to. Oh, I understand now, that young man is the one Her Majesty announced yesterday, Your Highness the Saintess's man, right?"
"Heh heh, no wonder he seemed quite easygoing when he ate with Her Majesty."
Hu Liena listened in confusion and said:
"When did he eat with Teacher?"
The old man said with a chuckle:
"Just now."
Hu Liena nodded and didn't pay much attention.
Ning Rongrong and her group, however, had strange expressions.
Huh?
Why is Bibi Dong eating with Liam? She's not going down the path of Spirit Kite Douluo, is she?
Everyone could imagine that Bibi Dong must have done this on purpose. Liam wrote about a bun stall outside the Spirit Hall in his diary, and Bibi Dong just happened to meet him there right after?
Bibi Dong was clearly going after Liam!
At this moment.
Liu Erlong suddenly leaned towards Ning Rongrong and said, "Girl Ning, can I ask you for a favor?"
Ning Rongrong said with a curious expression:
"Senior Liu Erlong, please speak."
Liu Erlong whispered in Ning Rongrong's ear:
"Lend me some people from your Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to help me investigate Flander and Yu Xiaogang, and see how Flander plans to settle Yu Xiaogang next."
Ning Rongrong listened with some doubt and said:
"Senior Liu Erlong, you're not blind again, are you?"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Liu Erlong said angrily:
"What are you saying? I just want to know if that idiot Flander listened to my advice."
"You should know from reading the diary that when I was abandoned by that scumbag Yu Xiaogang, I almost went mad. It was Flander who helped me get through it."
"Although I'm a bit angry at him for being blind, I don't want to see him follow Yu Xiaogang to his death. Send someone to keep an eye on him for me and see if he listens to my advice."
Ning Rongrong nodded and said:
"No problem."
"It's just, if Flander continues to be foolish, you won't be able to do anything about it, right?"
"Heh!"
Liu Erlong took a fierce bite of the meat bun and replied:
"Haven't you heard that saying? If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created the problem."
Good heavens!
Ning Rongrong was also stunned.
"I always thought Senior Liu Erlong was hot-tempered and brainless like Huo Wu, but I didn't expect Senior Liu Erlong to be so smart!"
Liu Erlong:???
Huo Wu was eating a bun when she suddenly turned her head and looked over, saying:
"Ning Rongrong!"
"What did you just say? I think I heard you say I, Huo Wu, am brainless?"
