Chapter One Flames of Passion (above)

　　The Five Elements Continent, the western part of the Southern Fire Empire, Leaving Fire City. 　　In the Southern Fire Empire, Leaving Fire City could only be considered a medium-sized city, but it was quite prosperous in all aspects, with only a very small garrison of two thousand people, but the security here was surprisingly good. The wide streets were spotless, and the ground of all the main roads were paved with dark red granite unique to the Southern Fire Empire, using this kind of rock as bricks to pave the roads was not only beautiful, but also durable, as long as there was no man-made damage, even if it was used for hundreds of years, it would not be a problem. 　　The time had already reached evening, the setting sun left a gorgeous sunset in the sky, and Li Huo City also became more and more peaceful, after a day of not too busy work people began to enter the rest time. Various entertainment centers suitable for the evening were also bustling with activity. 　　Flame Burning, one of the most famous bars in Li Huo City, was located in a prime location by the main road. Its main color was also dominated by red like most of the buildings in Li Huo City, but it was much more vividly red. The tall two-story building was not its biggest selling point, what attracted the customers the most was the open-air square in front of the bar. 　　The open-air square was about nearly five hundred square meters, in the center was a round bar with a diameter of ten meters, several of the most famous bartenders in the Flame Burning Bar would be here every night to mix drinks for the guests, even if it was a rainy day, this place was never short of guests, and the roof that could be pulled up at any time to cover the entire open-air square was enough to cope with it. 　　There was no winter in the Southern Flame Empire, so the nights here were never cold. 　　At this moment, several bartenders from Flame Burning Love were already in place, and the guests in the open-air plaza gradually increased, for them, this was the busiest moment of the day. 　　An old man wearing a red robe walked into the open-air plaza, his front foot just stepped into the plaza range, immediately a waiter with a smile on his face greeted him, leading him to the middle of the open-air plaza, closest to the center bar position. The ten tables surrounding the center bar were not for ordinary guests, they were all reserved for the bar's VIPs, and without a doubt, this red-robed old man was one of them. Moreover, the location where he sat down happened to be facing the street, and was the A table here. 　　The red-robed old man had a head of short white hair, a rosy nose, small eyes, and a small figure, how to look at it all belonged to the kind of very inconspicuous appearance. However, the faint red aura that flashed between the occasional opening and closing of his small eyes seemed to have a kind of power that took people's hearts. 　　"Elder Yang, still the same?" A middle-aged man in a gown walked over and elegantly bowed slightly to the red-robed old man. Only guests at the VIP table could receive personal hospitality from this bar owner. 　　Yang Lao said somewhat helplessly, "Aside from the fact that your specialty here, Flame Burning Love, is still somewhat flavorful, there's nothing that can attract me." 　　The boss smiled faintly and said, "Please wait a moment." While saying that, he turned around and snapped his fingers towards the oldest bartender behind the center bar. The bartender immediately understood, took out a clean crystal mixing jug, and quickly began his first job of the day, and the most important job of the day for him. 　　Soon, all kinds of wine were poured into the mixing pot in order, put into the strainer, covered the lid, and the mixing pot immediately flew happily in that bartender's hands. 　　Since the mixing pot was made of transparent white crystal, the color of the liquor inside could be clearly seen during the mixing process. In the bartender's fast and skillful shaking, the red liquid in the wine pot was like a cluster of flames flying up and down, very beautiful. When that cluster of flames finally calmed down in the hands of the bartender, the lid of the wine pot had been opened at some point, the bartender poured the dark red liquor into a martini glass, and shook it from the side of the stove, and at once, the light red flames flared up above the liquor, and the rich and spicy aroma of the wine spread out. 　　This Flame Burning Bar's senior bartender's flowing movements, as well as the aroma of that special Flame Burning Cocktail immediately received applause and smiles from the nearby guests. Yang Lao was no exception and nodded to that bartender, and when his gaze landed on that glass of wine, he couldn't help but show a few moments of impatience in his small eyes. 　　Soon, this cup of fine wine was delivered in front of Yang Lao, directly receiving the cup from the waiter, Yang Lao lightly sipped, surprisingly completely ignoring the flames burning on the wine, taking a long breath, he exclaimed to the bar owner, ''Good, it's still Flame Burning Flame that's flavorful enough. After five years of drinking, it still makes this old drunkard of mine linger. No wonder your business here is so prosperous." 　　The bar owner smiled respectfully, "It's good that you are satisfied." 　　Right at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the side, "Is this called good wine? It's just garbage." This voice wasn't big and was slightly hoarse and feeble, but it couldn't hide the arrogance in its words at all. 　　"Eh?" The bar owner and Old Man Yang almost simultaneously looked towards the direction where the voice came from. Only to see that at an unknown time, a small beggar with a skinny figure and wearing tattered clothes was squatting not far from the table, his gaze was focused on the cup of Flame Burning Love, his not-so-bright eyes filled with a color of disdain. 　　The bar owner frowned slightly, his eyes looked sternly at a waiter not far away, the waiter then noticed the presence of the little beggar and hurriedly ran over, "Sorry, boss, I didn't see him come in." 　　The bar owner waved his hand, signaling the waiter to quickly pull this little beggar out so as not to affect business. In front of Yang Lao, he couldn't afford to act too forcefully. 　　The little beggar himself stood up, his face dirty, thin, looks only eleven, two years old, messy hair do not know how many days have not washed, the body is inevitably with some bad smell. 　　The waiter was a bit disgusted and came over to pull him out, but Yang Lao opened his mouth, "Wait a minute." Without the bar owner signaling, the waiter hurriedly withdrew his hand and hesitantly looked at Yang Lao. 　　Yang Lao's gaze fell on the little beggar, "Little friend, did you just say that this cup of Flame Burning Love is not good? I don't know where you have seen a better wine, tell me." The pursuit of fine wine could be said to be one of the greatest interests in his life. 　　The bar owner hurriedly said, "Elder Yang, what can a little beggar like him know, don't let him spoil your drinking." South Fire Empire people like to drink the most, bar industry competition is naturally also extremely fierce, the boss is really afraid of this little beggar in front of him to say which other bar in the city has what good wine, attracted away this honorable guest in front of him. To know, Yang Lao every day to drink here, that is not a question of how much income to bring.
