It’s Called Drunk Dead of Liquor

Bone Emperor > Bone Sovereign

Ning Fan was walking in the valley of the Inner Sect, stepping over the dried leaves. Seeing him from the back seemed somewhat desolate.

The closer one got to the Gold Core realm, the further away one gets from sentiments. In other words, Gold Core realm was putting an end to all mortal relationships.

In addition, the Heart Devil was inching closer to him, stirring up a slight discomfort in his heart.

“I don’t like this feeling.”

He stopped in his track, closed his eyes and focused on suppressing the Heart Devil. While the wind was whipping against his body, he had found the peace in his heart.

After a while, he opened his eyes and revealed an uninhibited smile.

“This is the real me.”

It was still early when he returned to the Dual Cultivation Palace, but after his break through and a day concocting, he felt that fatigue was eating him up.

He partially laid on the bed. But before he fell asleep, he sensed a flicker outside the Spirit realm Formation Light.

It was Bai Lu again.

“She’s really a troublesome woman. Why can’t she just stop for a while?”

Ning Fan rose and sat on the edge of the bed, and saw the door being pushed open by Bai Lu with her high and mighty sneering smile.

“Humph! You, my cauldron, dare to vanish for a day? You have made me spent time looking for you!”

“Cauldron? Are you calling me your cauldron?”

“If it isn’t you, then who am I calling? The night before yesterday, I was the one who won. According to our agreement, if I could pluck a portion of your cultivation base away, you will become my cauldron!” Bai Lu sounded a little proud. She had gained this pride after breaking through to the intermediate Harmonious Spirit realm.

“Oh? About that thing. I would’ve forgotten it if you didn’t mention it. Miss Bai Lu, look at the sky, it’s still early. Isn’t it not good to make out during daytime?” Ning Fan rubbed his forehead gently. Though his expression remained unchanged, he couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.

This Bai Lu was still being kept in the dark. She still thought that she had succeeded in pluckinghim.

Logically speaking, advancing from early Harmonious Spirit realm to intermediate Harmonious Spirit realm after the making out did seem like she had plucked Ning Fan.

“Humph! Ning Fan! You’re now my cauldron. Don’t tell me that you are regretting it. Let me tell you this, sister is going to pluck you today!”

“En, whatever. I’ll feel comfortable anyway. But, the day is still early. Have a drink with me first. Wait until I get drunk, then you can pluck me however you like until you’re satisfied.” Ning Fan didn’t put her initiative to pluck him in his eyes because that wasn’t plucking at all. It was just her giving herself freely to a man.

“What, a drink?!” Bai Lu seemed troubled. She had never touched liquor because her drinking capacity was too low.

Moreover, she was a proud woman and she hated Ning Fan very much, so why would she have a drink with him? Although her feelings towards him had slightly changed after two intimate nights, her degree of hatred for him remained unchanged.

Just when she was about to refuse, Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and produced a plain-looking wine jar.

An enticing sweet smell blended in the air even if itslid was not yet opened. There was also dense spirit energy within the aroma. It surprised Bai Lu when she found out that her cultivation base improved a little after breathing its fragrance. Although it was just an insignificant hint of smell, it was enough to show how extraordinary this wine was.

After drinking this wine, my cultivation base will surely improve!

When my cultivation base improved, I will be able to protect the sisters in Dual Cultivation Palace from any men’s insult!

Therefore, only an idiot will refuse to drink this good wine!

“Fine! Sister will have a drink with you!” said Bai Lu forthrightly.

She thought that her wine tolerance might not be good, but Ning Fan didn’t seem any better than her. She wouldn’t get drunk after just a cup of wine.

When I finish my wine, I will pluck you! I will pluck all of your cultivation base and absorbed it in my body!

Bai Lu stared at Ning Fan, contemplating her next move.

However, she was destined to be disappointed. The things that would get inside her body would only be milky white fluids instead of Ning Fan’s cultivation base.

“This is a wine I obtained from Demon Sinister Forest. It is called Green Ghost’s Blood. One cup of this can help raise the spirit in one’s vein. With you being an intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert this wine will benefit you greatly. But it’s useless to me,” said Ning Fan flatly.

This wine was one of the items he found in the vault of the Green Clan. Too bad, he was already a late Harmonious Spirit realm at that time. Naturally, he wouldn’t consume it.

Today, however, his Heart Devil was stirring gradually inside of him, which made him inexplicably unhappy. If he couldn’t use women to suppress this unhappiness, he could only try it with wine.

In the Devil Path, both women and wine were indispensable. Otherwise, the cultivator would face Qi Deviation where they would be possessed by the devil inside of them.

He flicked his sleeved and took out two jade cups. He opened the lid of the wine pot and poured them into the cups. The liquor looked as red as blood. It had the sweetness of grapes in its smell, like it had been kept for a thousand years like those millennium-old spiritual herbs.

This was the first time that he ever drank wine. He raised his cup and drank it clean in one gulp.

This cup of wine was worth a city, but it didn’t matter to him. He drank the wine not to improve his cultivation base nor consolidate his magical energy, but to calm the Heart Devil inside of him.

Perhaps it was because of this easiness that his mental state improved despite his cultivation base not improving.

After one cup, he was drunk. After the second, he was swaying. After the third, his mind started to wake up. When he drank the fourth and fifth cup, his eyes were filled with brilliance, without a single sign of being drunk.

What does it mean to be drunk? When one becomes the slave of the liquor and dies in it, one is considered drunk. If one holds on to the clarity in one’s heart, one will only be physically drunk but mentally clear. In the end, the drunkenness will cease to exist in the heart.

Ning Fan spoke incomprehensibly. To him, he wasn’t drinking cups of wine but cups of enlightenment. He was trying to find the way to eliminate his Heart Devil from his drunkenness.

The Heart Devil was just like wine. It blurred people’s mind. If one can hold on to a bit of clarity in one’s heart, one won’t be eroded by the Heart Devil and sink into it, despite the fact that the wine was brewed from millennium-old spiritual herbs and the fact that the Heart Devil was produced from the Evil Cultivation of Immortal Emperor.

After this thought, he gulped in a dozen cups of wine but felt no sign of drunkenness.

The Heart Devil isn’t scary at all!

His eyes lit up. If he went into seclusion now, he had a fifty percent chance of eliminating the Heart Devil and break through to the Gold Core realm without any other means.

The funny thing was that, while Ning Fan was getting enlightenment from the wine, Bai Lu was getting wild after drinking it.

She had underestimated the alcohol content of this wine. It was the exclusive wine of the Great Elder of the Green Clan. It was produced from millennium-old spiritual herbs and one cup of it was enough to make Ning Fan drunk. So how could she, a mere intermediate Harmonious Spirit expert with a weak and delicate body, withstand such wine?
