Chapter 218 Strange Things
"What? Are you hungry?" Li Lianhua looked at Fang Duobing's little expression and wanted to laugh.
"I practice fasting."
Fang Duobing turned his head to the side and saw Wu You and Nanfeng holding several candles, about to light them.
"Wu You, what are you doing? Isn't this room bright enough?"
"Oh, you mean this? I don't know what this candle is made of. It doesn't smell good. I'd better get my own, the peach blossom scent."
As Wu You answered, his hands didn't stop moving, and he and Nan Feng quickly replaced all the candles in the room.
"The smell isn't strange at all; don't all candles smell like this?"
"Where did you come from, this rich young lady? Even in this poor, remote place, you're still so fussy. I haven't even said anything yet."
Fang Duobing was unconvinced. As the young master of the refined Tianji Hall, how could he be outdone?
"And you didn't bring any food in your bag, but you brought so many candles. What were you thinking?"
"Leave me alone, I'll do whatever I want. Ah Fei, are you alright?"
Wu You looked at Di Feisheng and patted his head. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. In just a short while, as soon as Elder Shi left, he quickly replaced that candle.
However, he was already poisoned by the Unintentional Locust Tree, and now with even the slightest guidance, it could trigger an attack.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a bit confused, but I feel much better now."
"It's all Li Lianhua's fault. She said everyone was fasting, but we can't even eat this big meal right in front of us."
Fang Duobing glanced at the food on the table, then at Li Lianhua.
"We need to come up with an explanation, don't you guys find this strange?"
“That’s right, it is indeed very strange. When we entered the village, we didn’t see a single person. We thought it was an abandoned village. The villagers must have hidden themselves and avoided us as soon as they saw us.”
"Not only have they appeared out of nowhere, but they've also prepared such a sumptuous feast. It's best not to touch them."
"Ah Fei is right, so I'm looking here..."
"A shady shop? That's not legitimate. This kind of shady shop doesn't open in crowded places, but rather in a secluded corner."
Fang Duobing said he had never heard of such a claim.
"Fang Duobing, have you ever heard of cannibals who live deep in the mountains and eat people?"
As Li Lianhua picked up a piece of meat from the table and placed it in Fang Duobing's bowl, she continued to utter these frightening words.
Fang Duobing was indeed startled and quickly used his chopsticks to put the piece of meat in front of him back onto his plate.
"Then does that mean the villagers here are also..."
"Dr. Li, Young Hero Fang, now that you have found the Gentle Jade Wine, let's see if it really increases our power as the legends say, and let me, Lu, see for myself."
Why aren't these people excited at all about the bottles of wine on Lu Jianchi's table?
"We've just arrived here and aren't familiar with the surroundings yet. Let's wait until we get back to Lotus Tower before trying again."
Li Lianhua refused, saying, "There was nothing to begin with, so why should I do it?"
"Yes, we don't need much, one bottle is enough. If you need it, Master Lu, you can take some back to try it out."
"Thank you very much. I must find my good friend so we can drink together and have a good time."
"I'm hungry. I can't eat these. This place is so strange. If a fight breaks out later, I won't have the strength. I'll go check the kitchen."
Fang Duobing got up and went to the kitchen in the courtyard, and the others quickly followed.
