《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 170: Friendly

"What did you put in this roasted peanut? It's delicious." Ding Yang was amazed at the deliciousness of the roasted peanut. As a young master of the Ding clan, which delicacy had he never eaten before? But this seemingly ordinary roasted peanut had actually amazed him.
"Some chili and garlic powders. A little bit of salt." Yun Lintian laughed slightly. This recipe was common on Earth, but it was uncommon here.
On his journey, Yun Lintian noticed that this world's cuisine wasn't creative enough, even though there were countless heavenly ingredients. Therefore, it was natural for Ding Yang to be amazed by such an ordinary recipe.
"I understand chili and salt, but what is garlic powder? Can it become a powder?" Ding Yang was interested in this matter, as he was a chef himself.
Yun Lintian nodded and explained. "It's the same method as you making a chili powder. Drying the peeled garlic and then crush them."
Ding Yang's eyes lit up, and he said. "I see. There is such a way, huh? Little Brother Yun, are you a chef?"
Yun Lintian shook his head. "I cook as a hobby."
Ding Yang nodded. "Well, when we go back, I will invite you to my place. What do you think?"
Yun Lintian thought briefly and said. "I don't know if I will return to Thunder City."
Ding Yang laughed as he responded. "It's fine. You can visit me when you have time." He naturally understood the meaning behind Yun Lintian's words. Since he didn't see Yun Lintian at the Thunder Valley entrance, he could guess something more or less, but he didn't ask.
"By the way, Brother Yang, do you know what happened over there a while ago?" Yun Lintian asked.

Ding Yang gulped another cup of wine and pointed at Mumu, who was greedily eating the roasted peanuts on the side. "Something happened to this little guy's master. But of course, she should be safe."
Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. This confirmed Ding Yang had spied on him and Lin Xinyao before and shown he was an expert in concealment and movement technique. Yun Lintian didn't even know someone was watching him for all this time. This was the second time he encountered this. The first one was Han Bingling, and this fatty in front of him was the second one.
Thinking of this, Yun Lintian couldn't wait to reach the Spirit Profound Realm as soon as possible. At least, he would be able to use Spiritual Sense to check the surrounding. His safety would increase significantly at that time.
"Are you planning to go there?" Ding Yang poured the wine for himself and pointed at the lightning dome in the distance.
Yun Lintian didn't conceal anything as he replied. "Yes. I want to check it out."
Ding Yang smiled faintly and raised his cup. "Then, Brother Yang wishes you good luck." He didn't persuade Yun Lintian to change his mind, as he knew it was impossible.
Yun Lintian also raised his cup and said. "Thank you for your blessing, Brother Yang." Afterward, both of them drained the cup in one go.
Yun Lintian continued to drink with Ding Yang for a while longer. During this period, they talked about various topics, but most of them weren't contain any vital information.
"I will take my leave first, Brother Yang. Thank you for the wine." Yun Lintian thought it was time to leave and said.
Ding Yang did not stop Yun Lintian either. He nodded his head and said. "Alright. Come to see me when you have time."

Yun Lintian smiled, standing up and left with Mumu under Ding Yang's deep gaze.
Ding Yang watched Yun Lintian disappeared from his line of sight and suddenly said. "Since you are here for a long time, why don't you show yourself."
Several meters away behind a tall tree, a female figure emerged from the shadow and walked toward Ding Yang. This person was Zhang Yuhuang, the Eldest Miss of the Zhang clan.
"You don't plan to enter the valley?" Zhang Yuhuang asked and sat in Yun Lintian's chair. From her tone, it seemed she was familiar with Ding Yang.
Ding Yang turned to Zhang Yuhuang and chuckled. "You know that I'm too lazy to bother with such a thing… How about you? Didn't your family give you a task?"
Zhang Yuhuang picked a piece of the roasted peanut up, looking at it interestingly while replying. "Yes. But I can't enter that place."
Ding Yang took a new jade cup out and poured his jasmine wine for Zhang Yuhuang. "So that's why you follow him?"
Zhang Yuhuang threw the peanut into her mouth. Her eyes lit up after chewing it for a moment. "Delicious!" She picked the cup of wine up and took a sip before replying. "Yes. Aren't you also the same?"
Ding Yang shook his head. "I advise you to stop here. He's not someone you can mess with."
Zhang Yuhuang frowned slightly. "Why?"
Ding Yang chuckled and pointed at the bottle gourd on his waist. "Earlier, he glanced at my gourd several times. What do you think?"
The bottle gourd on Ding Yang's waist was a Saint-rank artifact. It could conceal one's presence and be used in an attack like he did on Lei Song before. The most important thing was this gourd had no aura. Even a Monarch might not notice it as an artifact.
When Ding Yang was drinking with Yun Lintian earlier, he noticed Yun Lintian's eyes occasionally glanced at it, and there was even a smile on his lips as though he wanted to tell Ding Yang that he knew what it was, and warned him.
Zhang Yuhuang seemed to understand, but she still had some doubts. "Just because of this? Aren't you overestimating him too much?"
Ding Yang laughed and said. "No wonder your grandfather didn't trust you. It is because you are this stupid."
"Damn, fatty!" Zhang Yuhuang was angry and threw the peanut at him.
Ding Yang caught the peanut and threw it at his mouth. He said. "Have you ever seen any Essence Profound practitioner coming here unscathed before? What's more, he can resist the golden lightning bolt. Can you do that?"

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
