Chapter 98.2: 98: Framed? (Part 2)
“The guards here probably won’t let me out…” Qi Huan was indeed interested to go out but she also had not forgotten her current identity. To call her their guest was just an excuse, in fact, she was more like their prisoner.
“Don’t worry, you have me! They will definitely not do anything to you. Besides, Sister Sui Lei is not around today, so no one will dare to stop us from going out.” Yan Yin patted her chest proudly.
“…Very well then, let’s sneak out for a stroll.” Thinking of Yan Yin’s identity, Qi Huan nodded with confidence, then she went back to her house to change her clothes, grabbed Little Yin and walked out of the house with Yan Yin.
Sure enough, after seeing Yan Yin, the guards they met along the way who were originally grim-faced, did not stop them. However, when they went out, the guard at the door tried to stop Qi Huan, but he became scared when Yan Yin mentioned her father, so the two left Mo Mansion very smoothly.
Qi Huan was full of joy to be able to come out, so she didn’t really think about why there weren’t many guards at the Mo Mansion today. Usually, every two steps you’d see a guard, but when they left the mansion today, they only saw a few guards.
“Sister Huan, I heard that Li Du City owns the widely known ecstasy wine, let’s go try it!”
Yan Yin held Qi Huan’s hand and looked at her with a drooling look. Qi Huan looked at Yan Yin’s expression, she really was like the little fox, that little thing was always like this at the mention of something delicious. Originally, she still felt a trace of caution for Yan Yin, but now she no longer worried about her.
“Let’s go.” The two happily walked into the only wine shop in the city. As soon as they walked inside, Qi Huan smelled a strong aroma of wine. In the mortal world, she would occasionally steal some wine from her Senior Uncles, but the taste of those wines could not be compared with the aroma in this shop!
“It smells so good.” The two sighed at the same time.
“Welcome! Are you two girls here for a drink?” This wine shop was not very big, and there was no one besides the owner of the shop inside. There were only four tables in the darkened small hall, but those four tables were made from expensive materials. Qi Huan didn’t know the owner, but judging from Yan Yin’s excited expression, she knew that this girl must be his frequent customer.
“Boss, I want two jars of ecstasy wine.” Finally, Yan Yin looked away from the four tables, and then happily ordered two jars of wine.
“Hmm… Too bad, young lady, you are late today, the ecstasy wine has been sold out.” The owner looked at the two girls apologetically.
No wonder there was no one in the shop, there were no more wine. Qi Huan sighed, feeling a little lost. The fragrance of the wine had really aroused her desire, making her wonder how it tasted.
“Uncle, I’ve travelled so far just to drink a jar of your wine. Can’t you just sell me one jar, just one jar is good enough.” When Yan Yin heard that there was no wine, her little face became bitter. She dropped her head down, pouted and then blinked pitifully. Her eyes were even filled with tears, as if she was saying, if you don’t give me wine, I will cry!
“Err… hey… okay, okay, but I only have half of a jar left, I will give it to you two to try.” The owner really couldn’t bear Yan Yin’s expression. To be honest, it would be hard for anyone to resist Yan Yin’s pitiful appearance.
As soon as Yan Yin managed to persuade the owner, she immediately burst into a bright smile, making Qi Huan embarrassed by her rapid change of mood.
The two found a table by the door and sat down. The owner took two transparent wine cups and walked over to them. The wine cup was small, and there were nine dragons carved on it. The carvings were very delicate. Qi Huan could not see any flaws with her naked eye. Even if this wine cup was regarded as a work of art, it was the best piece of art she had ever seen. Seeing the seven-colour halo that flickered on the wine cup from time to time, Qi Huan suppressed her urge of stealing it and keeping it in her storage ring.
“This is the Nine Dragon Cup, refined from the dragon marrow of the five-clawed golden dragon. Use it to hold the ecstasy wine so that the smell of the wine won’t evaporate.” The owner explained with a smile while looking at the two of them staring at the Nine Dragon Cup with scorching eyes.
The owner’s explanation made Qi Huan’s saliva almost flow down her mouth. The five-clawed golden dragon was the second to the existence of the sacred beast, the blue dragon. The value of this cup was inestimable. Moreover, it actually appeared in the Heavenly Devil Realm, which meant that its value was even more valuable.
The owner walked to the back room, and soon brought out a small wine bottle, “Enjoy your wine.” After putting the bottle on the table, he walked back to the chair where he had been sitting, looked down at a book that was casually placed on the table.
Qi Huan and Yan Yin hurriedly poured two glasses of wine and tasted them carefully.
Qi Huan felt the faint aroma of the wine emanating from the tip of her tongue, it became thicker and thicker until the wine entered her throat, and the aroma remained in her mouth for a long time. The wine flowed down her throat and was instantly ignited like a fire dragon, at the same time it quickly disappeared.
She really couldn’t describe how she was feeling at all, no wonder this wine was called Ecstasy wine, it really gave her a kind of ecstasy.
Qi Huan and Yan Yin sat across from each other. Neither of them spoke. Instead, they drank the entire glass of wine. Although the bottle didn’t look big, there seemed to be no end. They kept drinking until Qi Huan felt that her vision was blurred, and then they finished the bottle.
“I really want to sleep…” Yan Yin’s little face flushed. She yawned lazily, and fell asleep on the table.
Qi Huan watched Yan Yin fall asleep, rubbing her eyes that could no longer stay open. In a daze, she saw the wine shop owner approaching them with a smile on his face. After that, she closed her eyes and fell deeply asleep.
She didn’t know how long she slept, she just felt that her soul seemed to be caught, as if someone was trying to pull her soul out of her body. She wanted to take control of her body, but it was no use at all, she didn’t have much strength.
Suddenly, a seventh-ranked divine thunder struck twice, and she regained consciousness in her dantian again. She was shocked to find that the four spirit beasts on the Taiji pattern were slowly being discolored and became distracted.
“How could this be?” Qi Huan exclaimed, the four spirit beasts were her yuanying. If they were scattered, would she even still be alive?! Fortunately, this situation did not last long because in the next second, her Taiji pattern was spinning fast, and her eight divinatory trigrams also rotated at the same frequency. Between the two, the seventh-ranked divine thunder and the blood thunder alternately bombarded the four spirit beasts.
After a really long time, their bodies finally returned to normal. Although they were a little weak, their bodies gradually became solid. The other three spirit beasts lay lazily on her Taiji pattern, munching on the lingqi inside her body. Only the Black Tortoise seemed worrisome.
Qi Huan wasn’t sure if it was because the innate Earth Spirit had once cultivated into a human form so it actually had its own thoughts. After she absorbed it to refine the Black Tortoise, now even the Black Tortoise gave out a similar kind of vibe as Jin Xiu.
“Be careful. What you drank could refine your yuanying, our cultivation is not strong enough yet. Luckily, Lei Jie helped us to remove those wineries, otherwise we would almost be unable to keep our bodies.” Although the Black Tortoise can’t see Qi Huan’s consciousness, it knew that she was looking at it.
Only
The other three little guys somehow understood the Black Tortoise’s words, and nodded one after another.
Qi Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the ecstasy wine she had just drunk, that wine…is poison?!
The influence of ecstasy wine was quickly eliminated by the thunder in Qi Huan’s body. She was a little upset watching the four spirit beasts fall into deep sleep. She was really too naive. She forgot that she was in the Heavenly Devil Realm. This place was full of devils, no one was kind.
Qi Huan secretly mobilized her ling qi, letting them circulate in her body, and then her consciousness slowly left her dantian.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was no longer in the wine shop. Instead, she was lying on the table in her room. The ecstasy wine she just drank and the two small wine cups were still there, and Yan Yin was there, but… Yan Yin wasn’t breathing at all!
Thinking of what the Black Tortoise said to her just now, Qi Huan hurriedly opened her heaven eyes to check on Yan Yin. The result made her desperate. Yan Yin’s yuanshen was gone, in other words, her soul had disappeared. Yan Yin was dead.
Before Qi Huan recovered from her shock, she heard a noise outside, including Mo Yu’s laughter and voice that she hated very much, “Asura Emperor, you’re too funny. It is a blessing for that kid to marry your little princess Yan Yin.”
