Chapter 678 Three Jars of Taoyao Wine (2/2)

She took a small sip, enjoying the wonderful sensation from the tip of her tongue, her eyes turning to little crescents. A long time later, however, she suddenly opened her eyes as she said somewhat puzzled, “There’s a slight unique flavor in this Taoyao Wine…”

Zhou Yuan was stunned, his expression turning a little unnatural. He had evidently not expected Yaoyao to sample it in such a detailed manner.

Yaoyao took another small sip, causing her pupils to shrink a little. She stared at Zhou Yuan and slowly said, “There’s a very faint trace of blood in this Taoyao Wine.”

Zhou Yuan awkwardly scratched his head before he helplessly said, “Your tongue is far too formidable.”

As Yaoyao’s gaze gradually turned stern, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to obediently explain, “It’s because of the Spirit Blood Peach, the main ingredient of this Taoyao Wine. It is an extremely rare plant that had nearly gone extinct, but with some luck, I managed to find a single seed which I then planted in the rear mountain for half a year.”

“How did you do it?” asked Yaoyao, getting right to the heart of the matter.

Zhou Yuan awkwardly answered, “The Spirit Blood Peach’s growing conditions are quite unique. It needs to be watered with human blood to grow, so I fed it a little blood every few days.”

He could see Yaoyao’s expression growing uglier and uglier, and hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, although it sounds disgusting, the Spirit Blood Peaches that grow from it have only absorbed the essence within the blood, and they are actually quite a pretty sight.”

He knew that Yaoyao was a clean-freak, and he took it as her being disgusted with how it had been grown.

However, Yaoyao merely stood there, staring at Zhou Yuan as she muttered under her breath, “Idiot.”

“What?” Zhou Yuan did not hear her clearly.

Yaoyao’s hands clenched tightly as she suddenly raised her bright eyes. A sliver of anger flashed within them as she berated, “I said, ‘Are you an idiot?’ For mere wine, you fed it blood for more than half a year?!”

Zhou Yuan had been training hard for the past year, and he would be exhausted every time he returned. Even then, he had still used his blood to water the tree!

She did not know why, but she felt as if a hand was lightly gripping her heart.

Zhou Yuan’s expression remained rather awkward. In the end, he took in a deep breath and said, “It’s rare to see you become fond of something...I want to see that face more.”

His voice seemed to pierce through her body like an invisible force and heavily slam the deepest part of her heart. From it spread indescribable feelings.

These feelings confused her, making her feel at a loss.

Her eyes turned red as she bit into her lips and turned her head away.

However, there was now no trace of her usual indifference but the vibrance aura of a young lady.

Zhou Yuan’s heart rippled at this sight. Smiling, he quietly reached out and grasped Yaoyao’s somewhat icy hands. “Don’t be angry.”

Yaoyao struggled a little, but did not break free, allowing him to do as he pleased. Her feelings receded slightly as she raised her head and put on a tough face. “You’re not allowed to do such foolish things in the future. How can I possibly drink such wine?”

Moonlight sprinkled onto her body, making a faint glow seemingly flow across her rosy, tender lips.

Zhou Yuan’s heart beat even faster as something seemed to explode in his head. He could not stop himself from taking a step forward and abruptly lowering his head, placing his lips on hers under her widened eyes.

Her lips felt like petals, cooling and soft.

Spirit light immediately began to flicker between Yaoyao’s brows, her very first instinct screaming to send Zhou Yuan flying. When her gaze swept across the Taoyao Wine on the table, however, her heart could not help but tremble. After flas.h.i.+ng alarmingly for a few moments, the Spirit light slowly weakened.

Her eyes gradually turned somewhat glossy.

The truth was that Zhou Yuan was already waiting for the beating to come the moment he kissed her. But when he sensed the weakening Spirit power, blood began to rush in his body.

His gaze swept away at this moment, coincidentally finding Tuntun on the table. The latter was leaning against a jar, hugging a bowl in its tiny arms as its eyes seemed to look at him in disdain, as if it had seen through Zhou Yuan’s cheap tricks.

However, Zhou Yuan could not be bothered with it at this juncture. The tiny bit of rationality he had regained was instantly shattered by Yaoyao’s decision to compromise. He reached out and tightly wrapped his arms around her womanly slim waist as if trying to fuse her into his embrace.

In the stone pavilion, a young man and lady seemed to forget everything else around them.

A long while later, Yaoyao blushed and gasped for breath against Zhou Yuan’s chest as she softly said, “Zhou Yuan, I also have a gift for you.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yuan’s eyes instantly transformed into a wolf in the night as a lecherous light emerged within them.
