American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 267 Family Banquet

The sun shone brightly, and a barbecue party was in full swing in the backyard of Xu Yi’s villa.

Since Notting Hill wasn’t finished yet, Xu Yi was temporarily living here. The considerate higher-ups in Boston, fearing neighborhood disputes leading to an American-style community incident, decided... to ensure Xu Yi had no neighbors.

They bought all the surrounding villas and gifted them to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi had the backyard fence taken down, now the entire lawn had become his backyard, exceptionally spacious.

A long table stood on the grass, capable of seating twenty to thirty people, but at the moment only three individuals occupied Nuo Da’s dining table, with everyone else consciously keeping their distance—even Xu Yi had escaped to a corner to grill skewers.

A plate of grilled lamb skewers was placed at the center of the table, emitting a rich meaty fragrance.

Among the three, Carlyle was the first to lose restraint, reaching out to grab one.

She didn’t particularly favor grilled skewers because high-fat foods tended to make her gain weight easily, though after becoming "Ryan," that concern was no more, but the habit remained.

However, the skewers grilled by Xu Yi counted as "made with love," which made her especially eager to eat them.

Just as her hand was about to touch the skewers, a light voice came from the side.

"Aren’t you vampires supposed to only like fresh human blood? Since when did you also fancy grilled skewers? Oh! Sorry, I forgot you’re half werewolf too; do you have a special preference for raw meat?"

Maria sat on the stool, unfazed and without even glancing at Carlyle.

Such "overly frank words" obviously weren’t something Maria could say; it was Ailan in control of the body now.

Maria had learned to be smart, swiftly letting Ailan take over whenever she faced situations she wasn’t adept at handling.

Carlyle tensed up instantaneously, her words failing her.

Under normal circumstances, she was quite adept at retorting, but when faced with Maria, the "original partner," her confidence waned.

She cast a pleading look toward Lisa, but Lisa gazed vacantly into the azure sky, as if lost in thought.

No one spoke, and the air grew even heavier.

Cass, who had been invited over for the family banquet, intended to grab a drink from the long table, but he suddenly shivered.

He could feel the heavy atmosphere, as if suddenly stepping from a bright sunny day into a cloudy, impending rainstorm.

He shrank back, indeed choosing intuition, and turned to leave.

It’s better not to drink this beverage!

"Hey, why isn’t anyone eating? It’ll be less delicious once it cools down!" Xu Yi came over with a fresh plate of skewers, "Nevermind, I’ll take away this cold plate then!"

Xu Yi was about to take the platter away as he spoke.

Ailan, with a quick raise of her eyebrows, grabbed a handful and placed it in front of her; Lisa followed suit; Carlyle took the rest of the skewers, plate and all.

"I thought you guys didn’t fancy the skewers I grill?" Xu Yi’s face beamed with satisfaction.

This time he didn’t just set the plate down but began distributing the skewers from the platter.

"Here! This is for Lisa, I know you like spicy, so I added extra chili powder especially for you."

"Maria and Ailan share the same taste, both ’sweet-toothed,’ so I brushed them with sesame sauce and honey."

"Carlyle, you don’t like meat, so I grilled some vegetables for you."

Having distributed the skewers in hand, Xu Yi then began to steer the conversation actively.

"Oh right, Carlyle, weren’t you wanting to learn how to bake cakes? Maria is an expert in that area, you can ask her for advice."

"Both Lisa and I love cakes, though it’s the Chinese kind, Maria, do you know how to make ’Chinese cakes’? We actually call them pastries..."

Under Xu Yi’s "cloud-shifting, rain-spelling" maneuver, "the weather" cleared up momentarily, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and the three women started chatting, becoming more and more enthusiastic. Discover more content at novelbuddy

Women are magical like that; as long as there’s a common topic, they naturally have an endless supply of conversation topics, and eventually, no guidance from Xu Yi was needed.

After a hearty chat, the three who had just been "skewer competitors" became sisters who could share secrets with each other.

Cass, observing on the side, regretted not bringing a notebook before leaving the house.

Mr. Xu Yi was not only a master of exorcism but also a master of life!

One platter was skewers! Another was also skewers!

But their significance was different; these were "test points" that needed to be noted down!

Cass silently resolved to learn more from Mr. Xu Yi and strive to become a winner in life.

After quelling the "disaster that could have been caused by a platter of skewers," Xu Yi returned to the grill.

"Old Xu, are you keeping something from me?" Xu Yi suddenly turned his head, looking towards Xu Changrong who was grilling skewers next to him.

Not only had Maria come to Boston, but old man Xu Changrong had also arrived.

Others might not notice much, but Xu Yi, with the Body of a Demigod, was very sensitive to various energies.

Xu Changrong was enveloped in a chilling ghostly aura; if he went out late at night with that aura, he could probably frighten someone to death, or even be mistaken for the "Ghost King" by an exorcist.

Of course, Xu Changrong was not really the Ghost King, all of this was due to the "Dark Chef" Entries.

"Just how many ghosts has old man eaten!" Xu Yi was secretly shocked.

A Dark Chef could cook demons and ghosts, making "Dark Cuisine," and after eating these dishes, the one with Hell’s Tongue would grow in power.

Xu Yi checked his father’s entry information through the entry contract.

The Dark Chef had actually gone from "Green Rare" to "Green Epic," and in some time, it might evolve into a blue entry.

This Dark Chef and old man were just too perfectly matched, weren’t they?

Xu Yi felt there was still great potential in his father, and if possible, he would need to upgrade the Dark Chef entry further.

"Indeed, I can’t hide anything from you. I’ve transferred the Chinatown restaurant in New York to your second uncle!" Xu Changrong sighed.

Second uncle?

Xu Yi suddenly heard this long-forgotten name and hesitated for a moment before recalling who it was, indicating just how insignificant the second uncle was in his mind... he was utterly insignificant.

Although what he had intended to ask wasn’t this, his curiosity was still piqued.

"Why did you transfer the restaurant to second uncle?"

As Xu Changrong narrated the story, Xu Yi’s eyes grew wider; after hearing it, he completely reevaluated the second uncle.

"So, second uncle married a woman who isn’t exactly a sheriff, and now plans to live a decent life?"

Xu Yi was astounded; second uncle not only liked persuading prostitutes to reform, but he also wanted to reform himself—that was rather fierce!

"Then what are you planning to do in the future, old man?"

Xu Yi’s eyes lit up, as he had just been wondering how to persuade the old man to come to Boston, and now it seemed that he had been saved the trouble.

"I actually do plan to open a restaurant, but not in the ordinary sense of a restaurant."

Xu Changrong glanced carefully around and lowered his voice, "It would be the kind that’s easygoing to work at, with some company, preferably female and somewhat pretty..."

"Got it! Don’t worry about a thing, old man! I assure you I’ll arrange everything clear and above board!" Xu Yi gave the other man a look that all men would understand.

Xu Changrong, seeing the earnest look in Xu Yi’s face, breathed a sigh of relief.

He too had been busy for half his life; now that his son was successful, it was time for him to enjoy life.

But he soon realized that the "clear and above board" Xu Yi mentioned, was indeed crystal clear.
