Chapter 130 This wine is poisonous
Dongxuan Continent.
Vast sea.
When talking about the vast sea in the east of the continent, most people would shudder. There lived a country ruled by mermaids - the ancient kingdom of Luanjiao.
No country on the mainland, even Longhua, has ever established diplomatic relations with it, not only because of geographical issues, but also because of language barriers and difficulty in communication.
Fishermen along the coast often see fish monsters, and most of the ones they mention are these mermaids.
The sky is clear and the sea level is exceptionally calm.
The waves crashed against the beach, bringing with them a salty and humid sea breeze. White foam covered the sand piles, attracting a large number of sand crabs to come out for food.
Two dolls wearing bellybands appeared on the beach, staring blankly at the endless sea.
"Fuck, where the hell is this for us?" Yinjiao said with a confused look on his face.
"Hmm... let me take a look," Jinjiao said, stroking his smooth head. "According to my observation, this should be the Dongxuan Continent."
"Nonsense, where else could it be if not the Eastern Xuan Continent?" Yinjiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "I mean, where in the Eastern Xuan Continent are we?"
Jinjiao frowned and carefully recalled what Master Xuanyu had said.
"Master said that wherever there is an ocean, it is most likely the territory of the mermaids."
"Mermaid?" Silver Horn exclaimed, "Isn't that in the far east?"
Jinjiao nodded and said, "Yeah."
"Damn, that damn stinky dog actually teleported us to this kind of place!" Yinjiao said indignantly.
Jinjiao patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be like this. It's already a rare achievement to be able to open a passage between the immortal and mortal worlds, let alone locate the Dongxuan Continent..."
Yinjiao rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky speechlessly.
The promised reward turned out to be that they were asked to go down to earth and find a mortal!
"I hate you, stinky dog!"
Yinjiao let out a long roar towards the sky, but as soon as he finished shouting, he squatted on the ground panting.
Jinjiao patiently reminded him, "Are you feeling tired? Don't forget, we are only at the Golden Core stage after descending to the mortal realm. We are not as carefree as those in the immortal realm."
"Really? It would be better to tidy up the offerings at the temple gate." Yinjiao said aggrievedly.
"Master Xuanyu said that most mermaids are manic and irritable. We'd better speak quietly so as not to be discovered." Jinjiao said quietly.
Silver Horn pursed his lips and said, "It's completely barren here. Let alone mermaids, there aren't even any people here. How could there be any danger?"
The two of them complained for a long time and were just about to head west when they happened to meet a mermaid who had just come ashore behind a sand pile.
Golden Horn: ...
Silver Horn: ...
The mermaid saw two tender-skinned babies, and with spears in their hands, stabbed straight at them.
"Why are you standing there, run away!"
Jinjiao grabbed the dazed Yinjiao and ran away as fast as if his feet were greased.
Although the two still had the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, they were still children in size, and their short legs could not shake off the mermaid behind them no matter how fast they ran.
“Chichi!——”
The merman screamed and swung his flippers, running very fast even on the shore.
"Fuck you, you bastard! When I, Lord Silver Horn, return to the Immortal Realm, I'll kill you first!"
"I told you to stop talking, but you didn't listen. Now you're screwed!"
"Can you blame me for this? It's all that stinky dog's fault!"
"No matter whose fault it is, run away, run away..."
For a moment, the sound of sea breeze, screams, running... combined into a tragic symphony, echoing on the empty beach.
Just as the spear was about to poke Silver Horn's butt, a wolf-hair brush flew over and landed on the mermaid's spear, splitting it in two.
pat.
Seeing that something was wrong, the mermaid grabbed the half-bare pole, turned around and dived into the sea.
"Ouch, I was scared to death!"
Silverhorn sat on the beach in shock.
Jinjiao looked at the brush, turned around and looked around, looking for its owner.
A handsome young man carrying a painting basket was seen walking towards them from a distance. He waved his hand as he walked towards them, and only spoke with a smile after he came closer.
"I am Shangguan Qi from the Liuyun Sect. Are you two young masters injured?"
*
Taocheng is far less lively than Kyoto at night. It is a small place with only a few shops open.
Chen Xian held two pots of wine and used his lightness skills to climb up the city wall. Lu Yuguan had been sitting there waiting for a long time.
"Brother Lu, sorry for the wait."
Chen Xian smiled and sat beside him, pushing the jar of wine in his arms in front of Lu Yuguan.
Lu Yuguan complained angrily, "You are quite strange. You don't sit in the store to drink good wine, but insist on climbing up high, and you don't even mind the strong wind."
"Oh, Brother Lu, that's wrong. You can only feel the feeling of drinking when you are in a high place." Chen Xian said with a smile.
"Crooked."
"Hey hey hey, Brother Lu, don't disbelieve it!"
Chen Xian opened the lid of the jar and raised it with his backhand, and the clear wine poured out like a waterfall.
Although Chen Xian opened his mouth wide, a lot of wine still flowed down his neck and soaked his clothes.
"You're quite cheerful," Lu Yuguan said enviously, "I can't drink much. I get drunk after just a little. I can only drink a few sips with you."
"No, I've asked around, and this wine isn't strong. Even a woman wouldn't necessarily get drunk if she drank it," Chen Xian explained. "Most of the wine in the southern region is made from medicinal liquor, and it's all very nourishing—"
"No more talking, I'll drink first as a token of my respect."
Lu Yuguan's eyes were determined, and he picked up the wine jar and started drinking.
Chen Xian: ...
After drinking half a jar of wine and being blown by the night wind, Lu Yuguan and Chen Xian were both a little tipsy.
"Brother Lu, let me ask you something," Chen Xian said, looking in the direction of Nanzhou, "Do you have someone you like?"
"puff!--"
Lu Yuguan angrily spat out a mouthful of wine, all of which splashed onto the base of the city wall.
"Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Lu Yuguan asked nervously.
"Hey, I have a friend..."
"stop."
Lu Yuguan raised his hand and gestured to stop.
"The friend you're talking about is probably yourself, right?"
Chen Xian: “No.”
Lu Yuguan: "You are lying."
Chen Xian: "No."
Lu Yuguan: "You're blushing."
Chen Xian: "I drank."
Lu Yuguan: "Didn't you say it wasn't intoxicating?"
Chen Xian: ...
"Well, it seems that nothing can be hidden from Brother Lu!" Chen Xian sighed helplessly.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what love troubles you have encountered." Lu Yuguan pricked up his ears and prepared to eat melons.
Chen Xian slowly said, "I know someone who made a mistake."
"Just apologize if you're wrong. It's no big deal." Lu Yuguan pouted.
"Brother Lu, you don't understand, it's just... that kind of thing..." Chen Xian stammered.
"You...you treated the girl badly?" Lu Yuguan asked stutteringly.
"No!" Chen Xian quickly explained, "I didn't treat him badly!"
Lu Yuguan stared at Chen Xian for a long moment before speaking doubtfully, "Could it be that someone abused you?"
Chen Xian was silent for a moment and then nodded slightly.
"Fuck!"
[Ding! Host swearing detected]
[Deduct one point of civilization value]
"Tongjiang, come out quickly and eat melon together!" Lu Yuguan hurriedly called out to the system.
[I know, I know, I’m listening.]
The system responded speechlessly.
"But he did that out of helplessness..." Chen Xian sighed. "Do you think I should forgive him?"
"Why would you ask? You said it was a helpless move, so why would you be so entangled?"
Just as Lu Yuguan finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Without any choice……
That kind of thing...
Do you choose to forgive...
Damn it.
Isn't this pointing at him?!
