"Alright, kid, let's get down to business..."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao pressed his forehead and waved his hands weakly, saying, "You just said that the exact location of the last copy of the 'Six Paths Sword Map' in the Liu Clan's Imperial Palace is only known by His Highness Yanyan. Are you serious?"
"She did say she knew... But Brother Tianxiao, she's a vixen! Vixens... are the best at lying, you can't trust her!" Lu Meir said hurriedly. Chu Tianxiao shook his head slowly: "Let's not talk about her character... The Six Paths Sword Map is important. I have to meet her first to see if there is a chance for cooperation... As for eating people without spitting out bones? Haha, if that's true, I would like to meet a woman in the world who can eat my bones..."
The words were full of confidence, and Lu Meir could tell that Chu Tianxiao had made up his mind. She lowered her head in frustration and muttered, "Alright, alright! I knew I had no status as a mistress. Forget about Sister Liu Ling, but now I have to help my philandering, prodigal brother take down a slutty fox. Woohoo... Why is my life so miserable..."
Looking at Lu Meir's expression like that of a wronged young wife, Chu Tianxiao really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You, you..."
Shaking his head and sighing, Chu Tianxiao touched the girl's head and said calmly: "I went there to discuss business, not to give myself away. Why do you say that..."
"Hmm..." Lu Meir rubbed the back of Chu Tianxiao's hand with great enjoyment, intoxicated by the warmth of the pat on the head, and murmured comfortably, then opened her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time... However, most of my memories about Sha Yanyan are 'hearsay', so it's all up to you, Brother Tianxiao, to judge..."
"Leave it to me." Chu Tianxiao nodded slightly, and then Lu Meir told him everything she knew, in great detail, such as what kind of clothes and jewelry she liked, etc.
While listening, Chu Tianxiao quickly took out a jade slip, immersed himself in it with his soul, and continued to deduce and calculate.
It seemed that because this "second beauty" was too mysterious, Lu Meir didn't say much. Even though she racked her brains to think of the information, she finished speaking soon.
Finally, Lu Meir frowned slightly and suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Tianxiao, I remember another strange thing... As far as I can remember, when you heard that woman's voice, your expression became quite strange..."
"Hmm?" Chu Tianxiao was stunned when he heard the voice. "Is there something wrong with her voice?"
"No, that's not it... If I really want to say it, it's just like the cry of a fox, slut, fox, hehehe!—"
Seeing that Lu Meir was about to get upset again, Chu Tianxiao quickly interrupted and said, "Think carefully about 'my expression at that time'... This matter seems to be a little complicated."
"Well... you looked like... yeah! It was like you heard the voice of someone you hadn't seen for a long time, that's the expression!"
After thinking for a while, Lu Meir finally made a judgment.
"Hmm? Reunion after a long separation? I don't remember any intersection with His Highness Yanyan..." Upon hearing the voice, Chu Tianxiao was also confused. Just when he was unable to think about it, a sword whistle suddenly came from the sky!
What followed was a bright and clear sword light, and the voice of a long-lost acquaintance...
"Clouds and mists linger in the dream lake,"
"The heavy rain brings blessings to all living things."
"After drinking a thousand cups of wine, I still regret that it is not enough,"
"Drink the river and swallow the moon!"
A burst of powerful words were spoken, and the sword light dimmed slightly. A drunk man wearing a loose cloth robe and a medium-sized wine gourd tied around his waist appeared in the field at some point and staggered towards this side.
However, although he was drunken, he still walked briskly. After a while, he walked in front of Chu Lu and the others. He took off the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine.
“What a pleasure!”
"The Immortal Agarwood Pot, the Drunken Steps of Linyun... Brother Ning is still as elegant as ever, but it's been a long time since I last saw him."
When he saw Ning Linyun, Chu Tianxiao immediately clasped his fists and bowed.
Although he was quite surprised that Ning Linyun appeared here so quickly, and he also had a deeper understanding of the four words "flying with a sword"... but after nearly a year, seeing his friend again, Chu Tianxiao quickly put aside those distracting thoughts, and his voice was full of joy of meeting an old friend again.
Seeing this, Lu Meir was quite surprised - she rarely saw Chu Tianxiao like this... Speaking of which, among his peers, there were not many who could deserve the "equal treatment" that Chu Tianxiao was giving them now...
"You are the drunkard known as the Wine Saint that Brother Tianxiao mentioned... Ning Linyun?"
Lu Meir looked at the other person in astonishment...
At first glance, this guy is just an out-and-out drunkard, with no outstanding qualities at all...
etc!
His realm? Why can't I see through it? Is it... above Qihun? But, at this age
Before she could figure it out, Ning Linyun shook off his sleeves in a very casual manner, without even clenching his fists, and smiled to himself: "Yes, I am Ning Linyun, a genuine old drunkard!"
Hearing this, Lu Meir couldn't help but admire the other person's frank and free-spirited look, and felt a bit of respect in her heart.
At this moment, Ning Linyun had already turned his gaze away from her, and looked at Chu Tianxiao with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Brother, you are good... Is this little girl the one who asked you for help in the Xionghuang Mountains? I didn't expect you to really like this. No wonder you even left the drinking buddies who were drinking and discussing philosophy at that time... Hehe, sure, sure!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Meir immediately looked at Chu Tianxiao happily, but saw him frowning with a helpless expression: "Brother Ning, although I had someone ruin your tricky plan, and you personally came to deliver the wine... but, you don't have to insult me like this, right?"
Shaking his head, he clasped his fists again and said, "But... no matter what, Liu Ling's previous sword training and drinking of the divine wine... were all thanks to Brother Ning's help. I wonder..."
"Haha, no problem, no problem!" Before Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, Ning Linyun smiled, then took off a wine gourd from his waist and threw it to the opposite side.
"Is this the divine wine?" Chu Tianxiao was a little surprised as he weighed the rather light wine gourd.
"Yes, that's it." Ning Linyun said with a smile.
"... Brother Ning, you are too stingy. How can this be enough for a drink? After all, I found the main ingredients." Chu Tianxiao grumbled, but Ning Linyun smiled: "It's not much to begin with... Besides, even if I fill it up for you, you won't dare to drink it."
At this point, Ning Linyun stared at Chu Tianxiao and said solemnly, "Listen carefully, my friend! You can only drink one sip of this wine each time, and you can only drink it five times in your lifetime. If you dare to drink it for the sixth time, you will explode and die. There is no other way! Hiccup... Looking at your current realm, you have already stepped into the Soul Initiation stage, and you have barely reached the bottom line of being able to drink the first sip. Before you advance to the Spiritual Joy stage, don't drink the second sip... Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. When he killed the slave Jinghui before, he also drank the weakened version of the God-drinking Wine, so he also vaguely guessed something at that moment...
"Could it be that this genuine divine wine can also make my cultivation level soar?"
Still remembering the violent and powerful force at that time, Chu Tianxiao immediately asked this question.
Hearing this, Ning Linyun raised his head slightly, his expression became quite sacred, and his words seemed to carry some mysterious meaning: "The aroma of the Divine Drinking Wine is too mellow, too strong... Drink it in one gulp, and you will gain power above the Five Realms!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a loud thunderclap, and Chu Lu and the others subconsciously thought of three words - Impossible!
