On a mountain peak outside Wuyue City.
"Li Xuan, your barbecue skills are truly not bad," Zhou Wenjing said, tearing off a piece of beast meat and chewing.
Li Xuan smiled upon hearing this. His spar with the two women earlier had not involved him going all out. The result, as one could imagine, was predetermined. Seeing this, the two women immediately asked Li Xuan to fulfill one wish, which unexpectedly turned out to be an invitation to dinner.
"Li Xuan, what have you experienced these past few years? Your strength has improved too quickly," Liu Jiaqi asked Li Xuan after they had finished a head of Xuan Beast meat. Zhou Wenjing also looked at Li Xuan curiously, clearly wanting to know as well.
Li Xuan smiled and recounted his experiences in the Divine Burial Ground. He did not conceal anything from Liu Jiaqi and Zhou Wenjing. After all, Li Xuan had acknowledged their presence in his heart.
"I can't believe you actually went there and managed to come back alive." After hearing Li Xuan's narration, Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi's expressions turned serious. Clearly, both women were aware of the Divine Burial Ground. It was known that both of them were Saintesses of the Six Great Sacred Lands, and they possessed more knowledge of information unknown to ordinary people.
"A person must always move forward, right?" Li Xuan said with a smile.
Liu Jiaqi nodded, then her gaze shifted to Zhou Wenjing. Seeing this, Zhou Wenjing's face turned slightly red, and she finally buried her head.
Liu Jiaqi looked at Li Xuan with a hint of helplessness and said, "We went to Sheng Yue Sect earlier and heard that you and Miss Fuyao are getting married?"
Li Xuan was stunned. Even this news had reached them? However, Li Xuan did not hide anything and nodded, confirming the matter.
"Are you saying that your parents might still be alive?" Liu Jiaqi's brows furrowed upon hearing this.
Zhou Wenjing looked up at Liu Jiaqi at this moment and said, "Jiaqi, shouldn't the focus be on the fact that he agreed to marry Miss Fuyao?"
Li Xuan: "..."
"Regarding your parents' matter, we can mobilize our clan's resources to investigate. However, since you mentioned that even Domain Lord Xuan Ye found nothing, I don't think this matter is simple," Liu Jiaqi said after some thought.
Li Xuan nodded. Although the Six Great Sacred Lands were not weak, Xuan Ye and the others were, after all, Domain Lords of the five great regions of the Vast Continent.
"Li Xuan, you don't need to worry too much. I believe your parents should still be alive. On this Vast Continent, even if someone has died, we can find out where they are buried with diligent investigation. We can even know their entire life story clearly."
Zhou Wenjing paused and continued, "But the fact that even Domain Lord Xuan Ye and the others couldn't find anything about your parents after the war says a lot."
Li Xuan's eyes lit up. What Zhou Wenjing said was indeed reasonable. If his parents were truly dead, it would be easy for spirit masters to investigate and find out. But if even the Domain Lords of the five great regions couldn't find them, this information was enough to explain the situation.
His parents might actually be alive!
Thinking of this, Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wenjing and said, "Wenjing, Jiaqi, thank you."
Zhou Wenjing and Liu Jiaqi smiled in unison and said, "If you really want to thank us, then grill another Xuan Beast."
Li Xuan was taken aback. Were these two such big eaters? However, Li Xuan did not refuse. He immediately took out a frozen Xuan Beast from Zhenyu and placed it on the grill.
Soon, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air. Both women's throats moved as they looked at the beast meat Li Xuan was turning on the grill. Li Xuan smiled, then sprinkled on some seasonings, making the aroma even richer.
This time, Li Xuan brought out two jars of wine. The eyes of the two women lit up upon seeing this. Then, they each uncorked a jar and began to drink.
Li Xuan was stunned. He shook his head with a wry smile and took out a few more jars of wine. Li Xuan knew that judging by the way Liu Jiaqi and Zhou Wenjing were drinking, one jar of wine would likely not be enough.
Soon, the three of them ate beast meat and drank wine. In less than an hour, all nine jars of wine were finished. None of them had used their spiritual energy to dispel the effects of the alcohol, and all three had flushed red faces.
"Come, let's... let's drink more..." Liu Jiaqi said, holding up the ninth jar unsteadily, and then she tilted and fell.
"Jiaqi, Jiaqi, it turns out you're the first to fall... hiccup..." Zhou Wenjing said, laughing heartily and pointing at Liu Jiaqi. After a hiccup, she also fell down.
Li Xuan smiled upon seeing this. He waved his hand, and a barrier instantly enveloped the three of them. Then, Li Xuan also leaned back and fell.
A gentle breeze blew, and the crackling sound of the fire continued.
Time passed quietly.
