Chapter 781: Chapter 373: Friends You Can Kiss

In Estella and Celestia’s courtyard, Chris was nowhere to be found. Anyway, it always roamed freely without constraint. Keli glanced at Justin peering furtively from outside the window... he seemed a bit different, she couldn’t help but take another look before lying back down.

Justin outside the window was so scared that he almost fell out, his heart pounding wildly. Did the goddess just look at him?

"Your Highness, His Majesty the King is pressing us. If we don’t return, I’m going to lose my head." Celestia said with a wry smile.

"I know, let’s go back," Estella replied with a smile.

Celestia finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everything in Dragon Capital was settled, and the changes at the Hundred Martial Hall and Ji Sheng’s death were favorable to the George Family. Her mission was successfully accomplished.

"Alright, I’ll tell Li Xin," she said.

"I’ll handle it myself," Estella shook her head.

Celestia sighed, saying nothing more. She couldn’t understand whether Li Xin had a problem with his head or his eyes, but somehow, she found herself a bit admiring him deep down.

...

At No. 16, Lane 125, Splendid Street, West Second District, the once quiet room was bustling like never before.

Lin Fei, Li Xin, Xueyin, Kathy, and Ma Liu all returned, plus there were guests. Lin Fei had invited Jina to visit her home. Jina had been busy coming and going all this time, and it had worn her out. Li Xin also invited Miss Aries and Celestia.

Ma Liu was preparing dinner, the table was filled with exquisite pastries. Lin Fei and others were somewhat accustomed to it, but it was Jina’s first time eating it, leaving her so shocked that she was speechless, feeling as if her past days were wasted.

"Fei~, do you eat like this every day?" Jina’s big eyes were filled with intense envy and jealousy, "You girl, remember to bring some for me in the future. I’m going to stick with you."

"That’s Ah Xin’s friend, I’ll give you half," Lin Fei said with a smile. "Honestly, ever since I tasted Alain’s cooking, I can’t eat anything else."

"The Royal Family’s gathering every year is also covered by the Gourmet Association, but he does it even better than the Gourmet Association, it’s incredible," Jina said, somewhat perplexed. "It shouldn’t be. In the field of secret cuisine, the Gourmet Association is the absolute authority, how could he be better than the Gourmet Association... unless?"

"Yes, he is the youngest elder of the Gourmet Association," Lin Fei whispered.

"Elder? What elder, it can’t be..." Jina asked, puzzled. She had heard that there were only five people who could hold the title of Elder in the Gourmet Association, while there were heaps of staff and presidents.

"Yes, one of the five elders," Lin Fei said helplessly.

Jina was dumbfounded, smacking her lips. Having an elder from the Gourmet Association as a home chef was a luxury even the Ji Family didn’t have during its peak. "Just for this cuisine alone, I tell you Li Xin can choose from any of the noble ladies in Dragon Capital. I’ll go back and sort out a list."

"Forget it, the child’s grown up, he’ll handle his own affairs," Lin Fei said with a laugh.

A knock on the door sounded, Li Xin went to open it, Estella and Celestia had arrived. Estella appeared with her true face, even dressed up a bit, and that visual impact left Li Xin momentarily dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey, where have you ever let guests stand at the door?" Celestia laughed.

"Please come in, no need to bring gifts since we’re all so familiar now," Li Xin said with a smile.

"This isn’t for you, it’s for Aunt Lin," Celestia said.

Lin Fei also came to the door, and seeing Estella and Celestia, she beamed with joy, pulling Estella by the hand. "Please come in."

Celestia felt a bit helpless, couldn’t it be her?

Originally planning to persuade Lin Fei about something, after one look at Estella, Jina understood everything. How could there be such a beautiful and graceful girl in the world? The noble aura she exuded was something even she, with royal blood, felt slightly outshined by.

And the girl’s eyes were entirely filled with Li Xin.

Ma Liu also prepared his own brewed fruit wine, made with the unique Beijing apples, and laughter filled the dining table, a rare relaxation after disaster. Xueyin also had a few drinks, back home she turned into a lively little girl again, but still eyed Estella with both appraisal and a bit of helplessness.

Flawless.

Having inherited the Celestial Principle Sword, already beautiful and lively Xueyin’s aura was elevated to another level, her beauty was powerful. However, when faced with Estella, there was nowhere to unleash it. That beauty was like the moon, unique and unparalleled.

Lin Fei talked about some amusing stories in the Freedom Daily, Estella invited the Freedom Daily to develop in Hedan, she wanted to do something after returning home, the two agreed easily.

The girls had countless topics to talk about, Li Xin and Ma Liu simply focused on eating. After dinner, Jina took Estella and Celestia aside to ask all sorts of questions. This was a major boost for the development of the Freedom Daily, and with the business group behind the Ji Family, if they could join the George Family’s commercial line, that would be a major advantage.

In the evening, Li Xin saw the guests off one by one to their carriages, Jina left first, followed by Estella and Celestia, with Celestia tactfully boarding the carriage first.

"Miss Aries, are you leaving?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

Estella looked at Li Xin, "Yes, time has flown by so fast."

"One day, I’ll come to see you off," Li Xin said.

Estella looked at Li Xin, gently shook her head, "I don’t like farewells, don’t see me off."

"Haha, neither do I. But farewells are for reunions, and I will definitely return to Hedan," Li Xin said. Damn, an enemy unavenged is no gentleman. Once he has the strength some day, he will definitely settle the score with the Earth Pope.

Estella’s eyes lit up, "Then I’ll wait for you, Mr. Gemini."

"Safe travels, Miss Aries," Li Xin said with a smile, opening his arms. "A friend’s blessing."

Estella slowly walked into Li Xin’s embrace, gently hugging that warm embrace, suddenly lifted her head, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Li Xin’s lips.

For a moment, Li Xin was petrified, Estella quickly broke away, "Mr. Gemini, this is how good friends bless each other in Hedan."

At the moment of turning, Estella’s stunning face was already flushed, her heart pounding like a drum, she hurried onto the carriage.

"Go quickly, go quickly!" Estella urged.

At the door, Li Xin gently touched his lips, the step he had started to take finally retracted, watching the carriage fade away, disappearing at the end of the street.

Returning to the living room, Lin Fei pointed to the second floor. "Go up, Kathy wants to talk to you."

"Aunt Fei, you seem a bit different," Li Xin said.

"Huh?" Lin Fei touched her face. "What’s different, do I have wrinkles?"

"Where? Our Aunt Fei is as beautiful as a fairy, even prettier!"

"Your fairy just left, that’s acceptable, I approve," Lin Fei said. "I’m very satisfied with that."

"No, no, we’re just good friends," Li Xin hastily waved it off.

"Good friends who kiss?" Lin Fei teased.

Li Xin instantly felt attacked, quickly going upstairs. Kathy was holding Xueyin’s hand, "It’s quite remarkable, almost perfect compatibility like I had back then."

"I too find it strange. Master’s and Ah Xin both said that inheriting a Divine Relic is a lengthy and difficult process, but I feel there isn’t any issue, I’ve grasped it quite easily," Xueyin said, puzzled.

"Ignore those idiots, they completely don’t understand the world of geniuses," Kathy said.

Li Xin rubbed his nose, idiots?
