"Should we complete the 'waste heart' plan of the true emperor first, or should we quickly go and look for the 'drinking wine of the gods'?"
"Or... split up?"
This last option was rejected by Chu Tianxiao in an instant - except for himself, no one else could escort the prince charming on the road. You must know that in some classic routines, the prince charming was temporarily restrained and then escaped in various strange ways, or even counterattacked... This prince charming with an old grandfather was too dangerous and could not be trusted. Moreover, both routes had to be handled by himself, and no one else could do it for him.
Chu Tianxiao used his internal energy to fight against the aroma of the wine while his mind was racing...
"Brother Tianxiao, what's that smell? It smells so good..." Lu Meir's face was intoxicated and flushed, and she was staggering like a drunk kitten, so cute. Seeing this, Xue Yan put a hand on her forehead, and the bloody aura on his body exuded, dispersing the smell of alcohol around Lu Meir, which made her suddenly startled and regain her senses.
"Ice, ice face? What... what is this?"
"It's the smell of wine, there's something strange! Be careful!" Xue Yan's cold voice came, Lu Meir snorted lightly, and quickly used her internal energy to resist it - although the smell of wine was strong, it didn't seem to be harmful to the body, it was just simply intoxicating, so as the two of them used their internal energy to resist it, their minds gradually became clear again.
As time passed, the extremely strong aroma of wine began to dissipate. Chu Tianxiao gritted his teeth, looked deeply at Qin Yun, and then retracted his right hand. The transparent rope that had tied Qin Jiaojiao returned to his hand and entered the Sumeru Ring.
"Walk!"
Lu Mei'er was a little confused: "Brother Tianxiao, don't you need to kill people when you are done? I don't think my brother is like that..."
Xue Yan also said: "Young Master, Qin Yun must not be allowed to stay!"
Chu Tianxiao has made his decision, his eyes gradually became deep: "No problem, killing him will only dirty my hands!"
"Walk!"
After receiving the order, the two of them no longer hesitated, because they all knew that Chu Tianxiao's move must have a deep meaning, so they didn't think much about it and just followed him to follow the smell of wine. As for Qin Yun, he would not be drunk with the help of the old man, but... He stared at the figures of Chu Tianxiao and the other three people leaving, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire!
Qin Yun felt that he had never felt so much hatred in his heart!
Even if Chu Tianxiao humiliated him, defeated him, and took away his property, it would be better than being able to kill him at will but not caring at all!
The most annoying thing in this world is that you regard others as your lifelong enemy, but they say, "Sorry ant, I don't have time to kill you, go and have fun..."
Qin Yun felt that his self-esteem was trampled upon once again!
Of course, he didn't know that this was because Chu Tianxiao couldn't kill him now... If Chu Tianxiao knew about this mentality, he would definitely sigh. One of the 108 ways for the prince to die - thinking too much.
Even the old man started yelling hysterically at this moment!
"How dare he ignore this old man?"
"Young man! Do you think that you can ignore me just because you won a game by chance?"
As soon as he thought about it, a crazy idea appeared in his mind!
"My little disciple! Do you want revenge?"
Hearing what Bai Lao said, Qin Yun immediately responded: "Of course I want to!" But then he became unconfident: "But teacher... even you... how can we fight him?"
“Humph! I admit that I have always underestimated that prodigal son. I thought that the Wilderness Mountains was the best opportunity. After obtaining the Heart of Blood Wings to help you advance to Mingyuan, you can kill this inner demon with your own hands. But I didn’t expect... He would take the initiative to come to our door and plot against us!” Old Bai’s voice was weak and full of resentment. “But! Calculation is just calculation after all! In terms of true strength, I can crush him to death with one hand! Losing once does not mean losing every time!”
Qin Yun's eyes lit up: "Teacher, what you mean is... since this prodigal son is so stupid as to let the tiger go back to the mountains, we can take this opportunity to recuperate and then settle the score with him after you recover?"
"madness!"
Qin Yun had just finished speaking when Old Bai roared, "At this point, do you still think this prodigal son is a fool? Would he be so foolish as to let the tiger go back to the mountains? I am sure that something has been done to you to facilitate tracking. Under normal circumstances, I can solve it with a simple sweep of my soul, but now..."
After a pause, Bai Lao continued, "Do you understand? That prodigal son must have encountered some unexpected incident, so he rushed to deal with it first! Even if he despises us, he will not give me time to recover. I can be sure that this prodigal son's trump card is definitely not just what we see!"
Qin Yun's expression changed: "Then... what should we do?"
Bai Lao snorted and said, "At this point, there is only one way..."
"What method?" Qin Yun's eyes lit up.
"Borrow a knife... to kill someone!"
…
Chu Tianxiao and the other two followed the smell of wine all the way. When the smell gradually faded and could hardly be smelled, Lu Meir woke up Ali to continue tracking. They chased for dozens of miles and even fought with some ferocious beasts. Before they knew it, it was almost dawn.
Practitioners are different from ordinary people. Those in the Ming Yuan realm have more true energy to nourish themselves, so not sleeping for a night is not a big deal. However, after chasing the aroma of wine for a long time, the three of them are still a little tired.
"Ah! Ahri said that the aroma of the wine is too weak and we can't chase it any further."
After Lu Meir's words, Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then the three of them stopped at the same time.
"What should we do now?" Lu Meir did not ask Chu Tianxiao why he had to pursue the aroma of wine, and Xue Yan would not ask any more questions. The tacit understanding between the three of them had long been developed without words, but now that the aroma of wine had disappeared, all their efforts were in vain, and Lu Meir did not know what to do next.
"Is this the only way I can go..." Chu Tianxiao looked around and saw a dense forest. He scratched a mark on an ancient tree nearby to show that he had chased to this place. Then, he pinched his chin and began to think quietly.
Lu Meir and Xue Yan wisely stepped aside to provide protection.
"Does this count as stealing a chicken but losing the rice?"
Chu Tianxiao thought bitterly, "But who would have thought that the aroma of this wine is so strong, but its origin is so far away? Speaking of which, how fragrant must this 'Drinking God Wine' be to be so..."
Before he could finish this thought, a mark suddenly flashed in his consciousness, with golden light flickering on it and a line of scribbled handwriting appearing on it!
"Hiccup... My wine friend, you really know what's good. You actually came here following the aroma of wine. Hiccup, I'm not afraid to tell you, this 'Drinking God Wine' is a secret recipe that I, Old Drunkard Ning, have researched and developed based on thousands of ancient secret wine recipes. Once it is prepared, it will definitely, hiccup, shock the heavens and the earth and make the gods and ghosts weep, and become a masterpiece that will go down in history!"
"It's just... hiccup, um, you came a little early, my friend. The 'God's Wine' I just prepared failed again... But don't be discouraged, my friend. After this failure, this wine saint has completely figured out the necessary formula!"
The golden handwriting kept changing, and Chu Tianxiao was shocked to see it - the strong aroma of wine just now, which spread so far, was actually just a "failed product"? Moreover, this person could actually write in his own consciousness, this kind of magical power was simply unheard of!
Then the handwriting changed again.
"Hey, drinking buddy, it seems you got the Blood Wing Heart, right? What a coincidence! This thing is one of the five main ingredients required for the recipe! So, at three o'clock tonight, you bring the Blood Wing Heart to Wuhuan Tavern alone, and we will meet as drinking buddies. If you give me this thing, I will treat you to a drink of my treasured fine wine, how about it?"
Seeing this, Chu Tianxiao understood that the previous words were probably all pretense. If he didn't have the 'Heart of Blood Wings', with the other party's ability, he would not have the heart to care about a "junior" like him in the Mingyuan realm...
Without waiting for Chu Tianxiao to answer—in fact, he didn't know how to answer—the handwriting changed again.
"Hic... Then it's settled, thanks! This wine saint will go back to catch up on his 'drunk sleep' now, hiccup, please remember this, hiccup hiccup..."
After these words appeared, within three breaths, the golden light dissipated and Chu Tianxiao fell into deep thought.
First of all, no matter who this 'Old Drunkard Ning' is, he definitely has no ill intentions, otherwise he would only need to do something in his spiritual consciousness and I would be doomed...
In that case…
"Three o'clock tonight? It's a clue. This trip is not a complete failure. But now..."
Chu Tianxiao sorted out the clues in his mind and then made a decision.
