I Am Immortal in Great Yu

Chapter 257: Chapter 103: Qi Eating

CREAK...

The Fang Family carriage left the city. Inside were Third Lady, Fang Ling, and Nannan, along with the head maidservant Bai Shao and a few junior maids.

Mrs. Xue of the Fang Family didn’t go. She said the two little girls were too noisy with their constant chattering and that she’d rather have some peace and quiet at the mansion.

Soon, they arrived outside a garden just beyond the city walls.

Fang Rui glanced at the plaque above the main gate. On it were the three words "Peach Blossom Garden," written in flamboyant calligraphy.

"When we were negotiating for this Peach Blossom Garden, the owners wouldn’t budge from their asking price of two thousand taels of silver."

Third Lady said with a smile, "But later, when they found out it was you, Brother Rui, who wanted to buy it, they immediately dropped the price to one thousand five hundred taels. The young master of that family said he had witnessed your magnificent capture of the Flower Thief at the Chunfeng Building and held you in high admiration..."

"Oh, is that so? My name carries that much weight?"

Fang Rui chatted with Third Lady as he led Fang Ling, Nannan, and all the maidservants, senior and junior, into the garden.

The weather today was lovely, the sky a brilliant, clear blue.

Under the bright spring sunlight of the third month, a clear stream meandered through the garden, its water babbling softly. A vast grove of peach trees stretched as far as the eye could see.

Pink peach blossoms filled their vision. The petals on every tree trembled in the gentle breeze, shimmering with a faint white light as bees and butterflies bustled among them.

Countless peach petals fell into the stream and drifted away with the current. They carpeted the ground in a thumb-thick layer that was soft to the touch, like walking through snow. A sweet fragrance filled the air.

"Wow, what a huge garden! There are so many peach trees!" Fang Ling cried out as she entered, immediately dashing off to play.

"Sister Ling’Er, wait for me!" Nannan shouted, quickly running after her.

At a look from Fang Rui, Bai Shao led the junior maids to follow them. In an instant, only he and Third Lady were left.

Fang Rui looked at the garden full of peach blossoms, then at Third Lady. Her face and the flowers complemented each other’s beauty, and for a moment, he couldn’t decide which was more beautiful.

"Third Sister, let’s go for a walk."

Fang Rui scanned his surroundings and used his Feng Shui Skill to find the best viewing spot. "Third Sister, let’s go over there!"

They came to a gentle slope, where he pointed to the roof of a small wooden hut.

"Ah, go on the roof? I can’t get up there."

"It’s alright, I’ll take you."

Fang Rui put his arm around Third Lady, tapped his toes on the ground, and soared into the air.

"Eek!"

Amidst Third Lady’s cry of surprise, the two of them landed on the roof of the small hut.

The view from here was wide and open, and being in the center of the peach grove, it was a perfect spot.

Looking down,

Vast stretches of peach trees formed a lush forest, with the spring water winding through it like a ribbon of polished mirror.

When the wind blew, countless peach petals floated in the air, shimmering with a faint light. Then, in a flash, they transformed into colorful ribbons of blossoms, dancing and fluttering.

"Amazing. Brother Rui, how did you find this place on your first visit?" Third Lady asked in surprise.

"It’s a secret."

Fang Rui smiled. "But, since Third Sister is asking..."

The two of them snuggled close, murmuring to each other.

One clad in flowing white robes, the other in a fluttering light-blue skirt—they looked just like a pair of Immortal Lovers.

...

At noon, instead of returning to the Fang Mansion, they had lunch right there.

Amidst the falling petals in the peach grove, the maidservants set out the food they had bought from outside.

Eating in such a setting was a delightful experience.

"Third Sister, have a drink, too." Drinking alone was no fun, so Fang Rui poured a cup for Third Lady.

"Brother, can we have some too?"

"That’s right! We don’t have school today. If we get drunk, we’ll just take a nap."

Fang Ling and Nannan looked over with pleading eyes.

The two little girls were very clever. They knew that if they asked Third Lady, they would surely be scolded, but if they asked Fang Rui, their chances of success were much higher.

"You two..." As expected, Third Lady’s slender brows furrowed.

"Third Sister, let them be, just for today."

Fang Rui shook his head with a smile and poured a cup for each of the two little girls as well.

"Thank you, Brother!"

Fang Ling stuck out her little pink tongue and licked the drink like a kitten. When she tasted the sweet flavor of the wine, she happily lifted the cup and drank it down in big gulps.

Nannan had been sipping delicately, but seeing Fang Ling finish her cup in one go, she also began to drink it down like water. GULP GULP.

"Brother, I can have another cup!"

"Me too!"

"Alright, but be careful not to get drunk," Fang Rui reminded them.

"Hmph~"

Fang Ling drew out her words in disbelief. "Brother doesn’t get drunk, so I won’t either, just like him. It’s called... um, heredity!"

She had, of course, learned the word "heredity" from Fang Rui.

"That’s wight, we won’t," Nannan added, nodding her little head.

Fang Rui just smiled and didn’t argue.

After the meal, the delayed kick of the yellow wine finally hit.

The two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, had wanted to play a while longer, but when they stood up, they wobbled back and forth like little ducklings.

"Ah, Brother, why do you keep swaying?" Fang Ling asked, her little face as red as an apple.

"Swaying and swaying!"

Nannan took two steps and then plopped down on the ground. She rubbed her little bottom with a small "Ouch!" and pouted with a look of grievance.

"See? I told you so!"

Fang Rui shook his head with a smile, then picked up Fang Ling and Nannan and carried them to the base of a peach tree.

Before long, the two little girls were fast asleep.

RUSTLE...

A gentle breeze swept by, and peach blossoms drifted down, scattering over them. It made the two little girls look like a pair of Flower Fairies resting beneath the tree.

Well, if you ignored the drool bubbles at the corners of their mouths.

...

Within this Peach Blossom Garden, Fang Rui used his Feng Shui Skill to select a location and turn it into a secret base.

For the sake of his grand medicine-planting plan, he even advanced his Agricultural Scripture to Minor Achievement. Only then did he begin to select medicinal herb seeds, plant them in the ground, and truly start cultivating Old Medicine and Great Medicine.

In addition, he also planted some other fruit trees, hoping that one day they would transform into Rare Plants.
