Chapter 178 – Master, do you choose to die or to perish? (19)
He was stubbornly refusing to leave.
Maybe it was because she had scolded him, ordering him to go and repair his meridians. When he opened his eyes again, she wasn’t there anymore, and she had just returned from Gu Sicun.
So, was his anxiety starting to resurface?
She quickly finding a reason for him in her heart as she watched him lower his head and approach her side. In the end, she couldn’t resist raising her hand to ruffle his soft hair.
“Don’t overthink it. You did well. If you really don’t want to go to the Third Elder, you can come to me instead, though it might not be as beneficial for your training.”
Words of comfort echoed in his ears.
A gleam flashed in Yun Ze’s eyes as he looked up, his face filled with suppressed joy as he responded cheerfully.
He was easily satisfied.
Yan Luo’s lips curved into a slight smile.
Yun Ze’s eyes deepened as he looked at the smile on Yan Luo’s lips. He then turned his head slightly and noticed something that made him pause. His fingertips tightened slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
However, his tone was one of confusion, “Master, what is that?”
What? Yan Luo followed his gaze and saw two delicate jade jars on the other table. The openings were tightly sealed, but she could feel a faint spiritual aura emanated from them.
“I think they were sent by some sect a while ago.” After they were sent over, she had just left them aside and never touched them again.
With a slight wave of her hand, one of the small jars floated from the table into Yan Luo’s hand.
As the seal was opened, a refreshing fragrance of wine wafted out, instantly invigorating the spirit.
It turned out to be spiritual wine.
“Do you like it? If you like it, take it.” Seeing the gleam in Yun Ze’s eyes, Yanluo handed him the small jar in her hand.
Yun Ze stared at the green jade jar in her fair hand for a moment before reaching out to take it.
The smooth texture was slightly cool to the touch.
Just as Yan Luo was about to shoo him away, Yun Ze took out two cups, filled them with the clear wine, and respectfully handed one to Yan Luo with a well-behaved smile on his lips.
“I know Master doesn’t usually touch these things, but this should be special spiritual wine brewed by the Medicine Valley. It’s said to taste very good and is beneficial to spiritual power. Would you like to try it, Master?”
Generally, ordinary wine would lose its potency when consumed by cultivators, but some special spiritual wines were exceptions.
Seeing the anticipation in the young boy’s eyes, Yan Luo hesitated before finally taking the cup.
Why was he so expectant? Or could it be that her original body… couldn’t handle alcohol?
In the end, she brought the cup to her lips. The soft flavor spread in her mouth, with a hint of sweetness.
The taste was indeed good, but a slightly tipsy, intoxicated feeling surged up immediately.
Seeing Yun Ze’s expression across from her, Yan Luo’s alarm bells rang in her heart.
Yun Ze also downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and squinted at Yan Luo.
She still looked the same, but after one cup of wine, her eyes became misty, as if covered with a layer of water. Her lips showed a hint of brightness, different from her usual cold demeanor. At this moment, her lips were slightly curved, her face flushed. The usual aloofness was now tinged with a different aura, presenting a pure yet alluring look.
“Master, you are drunk.” The smile in Yun Ze’s eyes deepened, his voice hoarse.
