The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 64 On the appeal of “fine wine”…

"Yue Lao~."

"Yue Lao..."

"Matchmaker..."

Several princesses walked into the [Marriage Palace] while calling out to Yue Lao.

Yue Lao transformed a recliner into something next to the marriage tree and now he is lying on the chair pretending to sleep!
Of course Xia Yu knew that her master was pretending to sleep, but as Yue Lao's apprentice, she still had to help Yue Lao cover up: "Seven princesses, Master has been staying up late recently. I think he is too sleepy, so..."

"Oh...Yue Lao is really working too hard!" The Seventh Princess showed a distressed look, squatted down and patted Yue Lao's shoulders, saying: "Stay up late often is not good for your health, Xiaoyu, you have to persuade your master!"

"Yes." Xia Yu thought he had gotten away with it, so he quickly agreed.

When they heard the word "staying up late", the seven princesses knew that Xia Yu was lying.

"Seventh sister." The fourth princess said to the seventh princess while looking at Xia Yu and said, "How come I remember that there is no distinction between day and night in the Nine Heavens? Could it be that Yue Lao went to the mortal world to spend the night?"

"Fourth sister, even if you stay up all night for a year in the mortal world, it's only one day in heaven. You shouldn't be so sleepy, right?" The fifth princess also said.

"Master...he is too tired..."

Xia Yu wanted to try to correct her mistake, but the Fourth Princess interrupted her and said, "Okay! Xiaoyu, how dare you lie to me?"

“Xia Yu doesn’t dare.”

How could Xia Yu, who was five hundred and twenty years old, defeat seven princesses who were twenty-nine thousand years old?

That's a world of difference!

"You're so good, matchmaker! We seven princesses are here to see you in person, and you still dare to pretend to be asleep!"

"Fourth sister, I've told you long ago that Yue Lao has changed. He is no longer the Yue Lao of the past. I just told you to spend more time with our father and mother, but you insisted on coming here in such a hurry."

Seeing that Yue Lao had not woken up yet, the eldest princess thought that he had something to hide, so she said, "Sisters, since Yue Lao wants to rest, why don't we go to [Peach Garden] first!"

Yue Lao secretly opened his eyes and looked at the eldest princess, but was discovered by the sharp-eyed seventh princess.

"Yue Lao? Yue Lao..." Princess Seven smiled and produced a jar of the finest peach blossom wine. She deliberately opened the lid and shook it in front of Yue Lao's nose. She said regretfully, "Alas! Xiao Qi came to see you today. I brought you a jar of thousand-year-old wine from the mortal world. Since you want to rest, Xiao Qi has to leave first."

The smell of wine gradually left Yue Lao's nose, and he was overwhelmed by the alcohol bug. Yue Lao still closed his eyes, but suddenly said, "The wine... can stay."

When it comes to the appeal of "fine wine", it is truly extraordinary!

Xia Yu covered his face and said: Master, Master, you acted so realistically before, but you were exposed by a jar of wine.

"Yue Lao! You are really pretending to sleep!"

"Can't pretend anymore?"

"Seventh sister, I don't think Yue Lao wants to drink the good wine you brought back, so why not give it to Taishang Laojun?"

"But Fourth Sister, I only brought back three jars of this thousand-year-old fine wine. Father and mother each had one jar, and now there is only this one jar left."

"That's perfect, give it to Laojun!"

When he heard that the "good wine" in his hand was about to fly away, Yue Lao immediately opened his eyes, pretended to be sleepy and stood up, took the jar of wine from the Seventh Princess with both hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Seventh Princess."

The Seventh Princess giggled for a while, pointed at their children, and said, "Yue Lao, every year on our father's and mother's birthdays, they are too busy. The fairies in the heavenly palace come and go, and we are worried that our little fairy grandchildren will get into trouble, so..."

Yue Lao handed the jar of fine wine in his hand to Xia Yu to put away, then turned to the seven princesses and said, "Princess, I am the god of marriage, not a god of children... If I keep doing this every year, the gods in heaven will laugh at me." The seventh princess: "Oh, good Yue Lao, you are the best! You help to look after my little fairy grandson, which god dares to laugh at you?"

The Sixth Princess: "That's right. If we know about this, we'll let our father, the emperor, and our mother punish him."

The eldest princess: "Matchmaker, please help me!"

The Third Princess: "How about we let Father and Mother give the order?"

The Fifth Princess: "Third sister, I will go with you."

The second princess was serious and looked straight at Yue Lao, saying, "Yue Lao, given our relationship, just tell me whether you will help me or not!"

"Yue Lao." The fourth princess walked towards Yue Lao and reminded him, "If you eat, you will be grateful. If you take, you will be soft-hearted. You can't accept the wine and not look after the child, right?"

This is really "rough words but true", Yue Lao had no answer and had to agree to the difficult job of "babysitting the child".

After Xia Yu finished pouring the wine, she just watched her master being bullied by the seven princesses. For the first time, she felt a sense of "schadenfreude".

In fact, the other princesses did not ask for Yue Lao's help for nothing. They each prepared a gift for Yue Lao.

They brought all the precious delicacies in the world, including various fine wines and the roast duck that Xia Yu brought back last time.

"Thank you, seven princesses." Yue Lao looked at the pile of gifts in front of him and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you take good care of your little fairy grandchildren."

Seeing this, the fourth princess secretly nudged the fifth princess's elbow and whispered, "It seems that what the mortal world said is right."

"Which sentence?" The fifth princess also asked in a low voice.

The fourth princess laughed secretly and whispered, "In the mortal world, money makes the world go round, while in heaven, good food and good wine can make Yue Lao help look after the children."

"Haha...that's absolutely right!" The Fifth Princess agreed and secretly gave the Fourth Princess a thumbs up.

"Yue Lao, my six sisters and I are going to prepare peaches for our mother's birthday banquet. Just like in previous years, let Xia Yu help us!" The Seventh Princess began to act coquettishly by holding Yue Lao's arm. Xia Yu secretly took note of this "coquettish" action.

"Go ahead!" Yue Lao agreed.

In this way, several little fairy grandchildren were temporarily entrusted to Yue Lao, who took them to travel in the heavenly palace.

Although the children of the eldest princess and the third princess were very familiar with the Heavenly Palace, it was rare for them to play with their younger brothers and sisters and older brothers and sisters from the mortal world. It seemed that every place in Heaven had become new and interesting.

After the seven princesses took Xia Yu away, several little fairy grandchildren first searched the [Marriage Palace] inside and out, and then looked everywhere for the marriage tree hidden by Yue Lao.

(Introducing the ages of several young immortal grandchildren: Dong Bowen is 420 years old, Shi Xiaomei is 419 years old, Dong Azi is 418 years old, Dong Aiqi is 416 years old, Yu Xiaoming is 414 years old, Yu Yun is 413 years old, Hei Yu is 412 years old, Ma Haoyuan is 412 years old, Jin Ling is 411 years old, and Liu Xu is 410 years old. As Yue Lao said, Xia Yu is indeed not much older than them.)
"Sister Xiaomei." Yu Yun suddenly looked at Shi Xiaomei with curiosity and asked with a smile, "My mother told me that your father has developed a few new dishes this year to celebrate grandma's birthday. Is that true?"

"Yeah." Shi Xiaomei responded.

After this question, other people also gathered around and looked at Shi Xiaomei with envy.

"How amazing! He's the God of Cookery!"

"Other people's fathers are so good! My father only knows how to teach me martial arts, and my mother only knows how to teach me magic. Sigh!"

"I think my dad is amazing, a very good inventor. He has recently taught me to invent a lot of fun things. I will lend them to you guys to play with later."

"My mother always cooks at home. Of course, her cooking is very delicious, but I still miss my uncle, the God of Cookery, so much!"

Shi Xiaomei smiled elegantly and said modestly, "It's not that exaggerated! Isn't it grandma's birthday party in two days? Then, everyone can eat the new dishes made by my father."
