Chapter 14: Tune into an alcoholic
Chapter 14: Train to become a drunkard
Under the leadership of the guards, Xiao Yan came to the reception hall of the city lord's mansion.
In the hall, Xiao Qian, the lord of Fangbone Castle and the head of the Xiao family, was sitting upright in the main seat, laughing at a young man in the seat on his left.
The young man was wearing a brocade robe, with long hair draped over his shoulders, and looked gentle and elegant. He was not someone else, but Tang Wuxin, the third young master of the Tang family.
When Xiao Yan's parents were alive, they made a marriage with the head of the Tang family. According to their identity, this person was Xiao Yan's fiancé.
Three years ago, he and Xiao Yan were called the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, and were the younger generation that both families were optimistic about.
However, after Xiao Yan's parents died, everything changed.
Unable to accept such a reality, Xiao Yan became depressed. A rising star had just burst out with a ray of light and was completely dim.
A new star fell, while another star soared up and hung on the night sky. In just three years, Tang Wuxin has become a famous man on the list of strangers. He is smart and has extraordinary luck. He is recognized as the most powerful competitor for the leader of the Tang family in the future. He has a great future.
Hearing the footsteps, he turned to see Xiao Yan. His brows frowned slightly, then stretched out again, and a smile came on the pile: "Yan'er, we have been missing for two years, right?"
Xiao Yan looked pale and looked at Tang Wuxin coldly, her eyes seemed to have reached the deepest part of the other party's heart. She did not respond to Tang Wuxin's greetings, but said directly: "Young Master Tang, are you here to break off the engagement with me this time?"
Rumors of breaking off the engagement have been circulating for a long time. Especially in the past year, the rumors have become increasingly serious.
There is no groundlessness in the world. The suffering life made Xiao Yan puberty prematurely and had long realized that behind the rumors was someone who was pushing them.
Who else can promote rumors?
It was nothing more than the Tang family. Seeing that they were in a downturn, they were unwilling to let a genius like Tang Wuxin be dragged down by the engagement.
Tang Wuxin did not expect that Xiao Yan was so direct and not tactful at all, so he directly revealed his purpose.
His hypocritical smile couldn't help but froze, and he barely spoke to the childhood sweetheart in front of him: "Yan'er, I have no choice. The pressure from the family and the pressure from my parents is very high, even if I..."
"Needless to say, the marriage contract is here, let's undo it together." Xiao Yan directly interrupted Tang Wuxin's words, and then took out a jade slip from his arms.
This is a little demon soldier, which records the engagement between her and Tang Wuxin.
"Yan'er, please forgive me, I'm really..." Tang Wuxin opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Xiao Yan had already handed him the jade slip.
Tang Wuxin sighed deeply and had to reach out and grab one end of the jade slip.
Xiao Yan grabbed the other end.
They also activated the inspiration in their bodies, and a light flashed on the pale pink jade slip. As the engagement was officially terminated, the jade slip also turned into a ball of powder.
Seeing this scene, the head of the Xiao family who had been sitting quietly suddenly burst into laughter: "Very good, great, nephew Tang, you will have a good rest in Fanggu Castle. We will prepare for the engagement ceremony tomorrow. Although my daughter is a little older than you, she is also a strange-level demon-controller. You have made a wise choice, and your Tang family has also made a wise choice."
"Uncle, you..." Tang Wuxin suddenly felt a feverish look embarrassed. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yan, who had already walked away, turned around the corner of the corridor, and soon disappeared from his sight.
Xiao Yan walked very quickly. Her face was very pale, her steps were also swaying and shaking.
"If you want to cry, then cry loudly. After venting, your mood will be much better." Chu Yun saw everything in his eyes and comforted him.
"I don't want to cry, my tears have already dried up." Xiao Yan replied coldly, "Besides, how unworthy it is to cry for such a thing."
"Don't worry, you will one day surpass that Tang Wuxin. By then, it will be too late for them to regret." Chu Yun laughed.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head slowly: "My talent has left me. I don't expect to catch up with Tang Wuxin. The goal in this life is to avenge my parents. For this, I will never give up. So what if I have a bad talent? Those goals that geniuses can achieve in one day, I will only work three times and four times harder in two days and three days!"
Chu Yun shook his head in the ring: "Do you think I am comforting you? Your luck is much better than that Tang Wuxin."
When you reach the emperor level, you can sense the existence of luck. Before that, you can detect luck unless you are a calculator.
Tang Wuxin is indeed a genius, but he is just the son of human fortune. Xiao Yan is the real son of human fortune.
Otherwise, how could Chu Yun choose to make a contract with her?
Although this girl is currently in trouble, she is temporary. Sooner or later, she will shine and leave a name in history. If she is well-functioning, she can rise from the son of Earth fortune to the son of Heaven fortune, becoming one of the protagonists of this era.
After all, luck is not unchanging, but can be circulated and transformed.
"Luck?" Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, "That kind of thing is too ethereal and unreliable. I have to rely on my own efforts."
Young people are very energetic, but their horizons are narrow. At Xiao Yan's level, he naturally doesn't know how powerful his luck is.
Chu Yun didn't want to explain more, so he nodded secretly and praised: "The little girl is tough in will, not bad. I can't rely too much on luck. I'll help you with any bullshit genius."
"Senior, do you want to help me?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up suddenly. Although she didn't know the origin of Chu Yun's feet, she understood that Chu Yun's strength and any soul-powered person could benefit her extraordinary benefits with just fighting experience.
"That's of course! I want to grab the wine pool and meat forest. Of course, the stronger your strength is, the better. Cooperation between us is naturally mutually beneficial. This has been explained in the contract long ago." Chu Yun said.
"Is that true?" Xiao Yan didn't read the content of the contract. She knew that she could not resist Chu Yun, so she signed it directly without caring about the content of the contract.
"How could my dignified man squeeze you a little girl? Humph!" Chu Yun pretended to be unhappy.
A stream of hope rose in Xiao Yan's heart. For the first time, she felt that Chu Yun's arrogance was a little cute, and she couldn't help but ask: "Senior Chu, what can you teach me?"
"Drink!" Chu Yun replied.
"ah?"
Half an hour later, Xiao Yan's residence.
The girl stared blankly at the wine jar, wine bottle and wine pot on the ground in the room, and hesitated to ask Chu Yun for advice: "Senior Chu, you won't let me drink all the wine here, right?"
"Of course, your initial goal is to drink all the wine here." Chu Yun replied.
The girl was stunned. Drinking all the wine here was just a "first goal".
"You start drinking." Chu Yun urged.
"But, but I have never drunk alcohol. And I hate drinking..." The girl did not move.
"Haha, it's because you have never drunk it before that you let you drink it. I ask you, what is wine?" Chu Yun said.
The girl immediately replied: "Wine is a harm to others and a misleading ghost. Those who buy drunk and relieve their sorrows will only worry more and cannot solve the problem at all. I look down on those who are drunk the most. What's more important is that wine is really expensive. After buying these wines, I spent most of my savings."
Xiao Yan became more and more excited as she spoke, especially the last sentence, which made her feel heartbroken.
"What a mess." Chu Yun was speechless, "Little girl, listen carefully to me - the wine is Dan."
"Dan?"
"Yes. I can't count Jiuzhou elixirs, but to sum it up, there are only three types: solid elixir, liquid elixir, and gas elixir. Wine is liquid elixir. I have already observed your body. You have taken a lot of elixirs in your early years, right?"
"I have already observed your body" - Xiao Yan's face turned red when she heard this sentence, but soon her attention turned to the other side and said, "Well. In order to speed up the progress of her cultivation, I have indeed taken a lot of elixirs. But the effect is not obvious."
"Of course it's not obvious. If you take too much elixir, you will have resistance. The more you take the same elixir, the stronger the resistance."
Xiao Yan was quick-minded and her eyes lit up: "I understand, no wonder my senior asked me to drink. I have never drunk alcohol, so I am not resistant to drugs. But even if I drink all the wine here, it will be useless."
If drinking alone can quickly improve your cultivation, then the strong people among the drunkards will have already crawled everywhere.
"That's because you haven't met me before. You can take a sip of wine and try it." Chu Yun urged.
Xiao Yan took out a closest wine bottle in skepticism.
The name of the wine is marked on the bottle of "Qingli Wine".
The girl took off the lid of the wine bottle and took a big sip.
Although Qingli wine is known for its gentle alcohol content, it is still too irritating for those who drink for the first time.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..." The girl choked and coughed continuously.
Two red clouds rose on her originally fair face instantly. Xiao Yan couldn't help but cover her throat, and felt a ball of fire burning into her heart and lungs along her throat.
But soon, a soul power came from the ring. The soul power penetrated into Xiao Yan's body and began to manipulate Qingli wine.
The invisible burning pain of fire suddenly subsided. A warm current formed, irrigating from the esophagus. It was divided into dozens of tributaries in the blink of an eye, flowing rapidly in Xiao Yan's body meridians.
It was like being soaked in a hot spring, and a feeling of extreme comfort arose.
It was so comfortable that Xiao Yan couldn't help but close her eyes, and she hummed slightly, making a moaning sound.
After brushing, Xiao Yan's face turned red completely.
My scream just now was so shameful!
Chu Yun didn't care and laughed: "Make you comfortable! With the help of my soul power, these precious liquids will be absorbed by you 100% just after they are infused into your body. To be honest, those geniuses absorb at most 80%, and the efficacy of the medicine that can absorb half of the medicine can be good. Other medicines remain in the body and will also enhance drug resistance."
Xiao Yan's beautiful eyes suddenly burst out with a bright light, and she trembled with excitement: "I understand, senior! If I drink like this, not only will the medicine be many times more effective than ordinary people, but the drug resistance will be greatly reduced."
"You can teach me!" Chu Yun laughed, "Then you might as well drink, the more you drink, the better. As much as you can drink, your cultivation level will increase."
The light in Xiao Yan's eyes was so bright that it was too bright to look at.
In her eyes, the wine jar on the ground was no longer wine, but a piece of cultivation.
"Drink!" The girl who had never touched the wine, blinked her eyes and became a drunkard who was addicted to alcohol.
Chapter completed!
