Chapter 204: Your Cup of Wine, Free of Charge

Ouyang Xiaoyi skipped down the road and entered the small alleyway in shock, gaping at the long queue lined up ahead.
In the queue, she saw a couple of familiar faces. Some were regular customers of the store, others were unknown strangers…
”No wonder I didn't hear your snores this morning. Turns out you guys sneaked here, to the smelly boss' store, for a booze!” Ouyang Xiaoyi immediately recognized three familiar, thickset figures once she stepped into the store. Who else could they be but her three idiot brothers.
The three barbarians of Ouyang twisted their heads to look at Ouyang Xiaoyi. Their faces scrunched up, as traces of utmost grief creeped over their complexions.
Ouyang Xiaoyi was instantly startled. Brothers… can you stop terrorizing people in broad daylight?
”Owner Bu's wine... costs an arm and a leg.” The elder, Ouyang Zhen, pouted his lips, extremely upset. The three brothers couldn't afford even one cup of wine with all of the crystals on them. It was simply… damning.
Who would have thought that Bu Fang's newly brewed wine was not only exorbitant, but also sold in terms of cups!
How much was there in a cup… it wasn't even enough to fill the slits between one's teeth.
”Xiaoyi, my dear sister, could you lend your brother some crystals?” Ouyang Wu moved closer to Ouyang Xiaoyi brazenly, causing the latter to heighten her vigilance.
Ouyang Xiaoyi opened her eyes wide and peered at the menu in bemusement. She ran her eyes down the menu and discovered the newly added dish at the bottom...
”Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew, five hundred crystals per cup.”
Ouyang Xiaoyi was dumbfounded, five hundred crystals... a cup? This... must be a mistake of the smelly boss? What kind of wine could be worth five hundred crystals a cup? The Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine wasn't even one tenth the price of this new item.
No wonder her three brothers had to borrow crystals from her...
”My dear sister, Xiaoyi, this wine is too enticing. If your brother doesn't get a taste, he won't be able to sleep tonight. I'd feel weak all over even when I walked...” Ouyang Di put on a long face. He looked in pain.
Three hefty, burly fellows pouring out their woes to a little loli. With their snots and tears, certainly made an entertaining scene.
Ouyang Xiaoyi patted the faces of her three brothers, took out crystals from her sachet, and handed them to her brothers. As the gem of the Ouyang family, she was never short of crystals.
”Thanks, little sister!” Ouyang Zhen was wild with joy as he received the crystals. On top of what the three of them had, they finally pooled five hundred crystals, enough to buy a cup of wine.
As Bu Fang's bamboo tube scooped, the sound of flowing wine nectar reverberated through the entire store. Such wine fragrance gradually diffused, intoxicating the three Ouyang barbarians.
”Here, your Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew.” Bu Fang carefully passed the blue and white porcelain cup to Ouyang Zhen, who received it with the utmost caution. Such behavior came off as both attentive and comical.
Ouyang Zhen held the wine cup, on which Ouyang Wu and Ouyang Di glued their eager eyes.
The three of them convened by a corner and deliberated: ”There is only one cup of this wine. The three of us each takes one sip. Nobody is allowed extra!”
Ouyang Wu and Ouyang Di promptly nodded.
Ouyang Zhen instantly narrowed his eyes, lifted up the cup, and took a small sip. He drank precisely a third of the wine.
After a taste, he fell utterly into a state of inescapable intoxication.
Ouyang Wu received the wine cup from his hands, deeply inhaled the wine aroma, and also took a sip. An exploding wine aroma bursted forth within his mouth, causing his hairs to stand on their ends.
Lastly, Ouyang Di got hold of the wine up, and tipped into his mouth whatever was left in the cup...
The scene of three burly fellows meticulously divvying up one small cup of wine was, needless to say, pitiable. The sight became all the more bleak and desolate at this moment in time.
Nevertheless, after drinking up this cup of wine, the complexions of all three underwent dramatic transformations. Their pupils widened, and the true energy within their bodies was actually fluctuating.
They didn't pass out after one cup, since the three of them shared a cup. That's why they weren't completely drunk, but only tipsy.
After devoted training, the cultivation levels of the three Ouyang barbarians had just recently, around the Spring Festival, made a breakthrough to fifth level Battle-King. Now, with this cup of wine down the stomach, they felt the true energy within their bodies circulating at full speed, as if the true energy was boiling inside.
