It was already dawn when the two of them walked out of the black market, and the sky was getting darker. They jumped up to the roof and returned to the room.
After thinking about everything that had just happened, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel depressed.
Whether it was the reaction of the unknown traveler or the master of the Tianji Pavilion, everything seemed to have a pair of invisible hands secretly controlling everything.
So far tonight, neither of them can sleep anymore.
Ling Xiao simply sank into the silver ring to study the talisman, while Mu'er continued to brew the peach blossom wine in his hand.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Ling Xiao walked out of the silver ring and his senses recovered. Just as he stepped into the room, a rather rich aroma of wine surrounded the tip of his nose.
On the side, Mu'er was collecting the leftover residue from the wine making, and on the other side, Xie Shizi was staring longingly at several wine cups beside Mu'er.
"Little witch, no, aunt, just let me drink a pot, aren't you trying to kill me?"
"Haha, let's change the way you call me Miss first."
Mu'er sneered and ignored the evil dead son standing beside him like a hungry ghost.
This scene also shocked Ling Xiao.
He has never seen Xie Shizi like this. Isn't it just a bottle of wine? It's so exaggerated.
Ling Xiao was very puzzled. He came to Mu'er's side, opened it leisurely, picked up a pot, and took off the cork of the wine.
The rich aroma of wine suddenly filled the entire room, with a hint of sweetness from peach blossoms in the fresh and mellow aroma.
Just one sniff made Ling Xiao feel energetic.
Seeing Ling Xiao's actions, Mu'er did not stop him. So, in the pitiful eyes of Xie Shizi, Ling Xiao picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of pain.
The clear peach blossom stuffed wine is like cold spring water, constantly moistening the mouth, and then flows down directly into the throat.
"Tsk, not bad, a bit sweet." Ling Xiao giggled blankly at Xie Shizi.
"Ouch! Ruining things!" Xie Shizi scolded angrily, and the eyes he looked at Ling Xiao became vicious.
Ling Xiao didn't take it seriously and continued to drink by himself.
"This wine is very strong. Drink less. I'm a little hungry. Come with me to eat." Mu'er said.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao walked out of the room with a wine bottle in hand. The lobby was filled with people, and there were dozens of tables of guests coming to eat.
After finding a relatively remote place to sit down, Ling Xiao casually ordered a few dishes and uncorked his wine again.
For a moment, the noisy store suddenly became quiet. Everyone seemed to be sniffing something, and soon they seemed to have discovered the source of this mellow fragrance.
Everyone turned their attention to Ling Xiao, with burning eyes.
Ling Xiao felt a little uncomfortable being watched by so many people.
"Little friend, I'll give you sixty spirit stones. Can you let me taste the fine wine in your hand?"
"Well……"
Ling Xiao turned around, and at some point, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes stood beside them.
"You want to drink this wine?" Ling Xiao was surprised.
"Yes, yes, I don't know..." Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, a crowd of people in the lobby swarmed in and surrounded their dining table.
"Little friend, don't listen to him, I will give you seventy spirit stones!"
"Seventy spirit stones, you drink shit, go ahead and drink shit, little friend, if I give you one hundred spirit stones, let me have a taste, just one bite!"
"Go away, this fine wine only costs you 100 spirit stones to let you smell it. My little friend, I'll pay you 300, 300!!!"
…………
…
"You guys, wait..."
In less than three breaths, the table in front of the two of them was already packed with people. Everyone looked greedy and wanted to eat Ling Xiao alive.
Ling Xiao really didn't expect that just a pot of wine could cause such a big fight!
"What are you doing!"
With an angry rebuke, the crowd around him suddenly became quiet and dispersed.
At the door of the store, I saw a seven-foot-tall young man wearing black armor, with a long knife hanging on his waist.
Ling Xiao frowned slightly when he saw this. Judging from his appearance, he must be a member of Taoyuan City's defense team.
The young man snorted coldly, sat down at an empty table in front of the door, asked the boss for some food and wine, and then started eating by himself.
The store also became quiet for the first time in a long time. Ling Xiao glanced at Mu'er, who waved his hand casually, picked up the food in front of him and ate happily.
Ling Xiao called the boy in the shop, whispered a few words to him, and stuffed a spiritual stone into his hand.
The boy smiled in apology and came to the young man.
For a moment, the young man looked at Ling Xiao in the distance, then walked up to him.
"Big brother, thank you very much just now." Ling Xiao smiled lightly.
"Brothers, you're welcome. Seeing as you are new here, you should be confused. Everyone in Taoyuan City is addicted to alcohol. It can be said that they are involved in wine, sex, wealth, and everything. They don't have any ill intentions. I hope they won't ruin my brother's happiness."
The man smiled and looked carefree, not annoying.
Ling Xiao poured the peach blossom wine in front of him into the bowl and pushed it in front of the man.
"Brother, please."
"Okay, you're welcome then. I'll just take it as a thank you gift for helping you out of trouble."
The man groaned heroically and then sighed happily.
"Good wine! Good wine!"
The two had a pleasant conversation. During the conversation, Ling Xiao learned that the man's name was Qin Sa, and he was a descendant of a noble family in Taoyuan City.
Naturally, Ling Xiao did not use his real name when he went out. Lu Huanxi reminded him of this, so Ling Xiao also paid special attention to this.
"Brother Xiao Ling, I have a heartfelt request. Is it convenient for you?" Qin Sa looked embarrassed.
"Brother Qin Sa, it's okay to say it," Ling Xiao said.
"Hey, brother, I don't know. Recently, there has been a demon in Taoyuan City. Every night, it will appear in a woman's boudoir and kidnap her. No body can be found. Our city defense team also pursued her several times.
All to no avail."
"This is a strange thing." Ling Xiao couldn't help but frown.
"That's right, neither for money nor sex, but after taking him away, even his body could not be found. Moreover, this thing was extremely fast, and no one could see his face clearly, so many times,
It was only after hunting that it was determined that this must be some kind of evil thing." Qin Sa said in a deep voice.
"Brother Qin, what do you mean?" Ling Xiao was a little confused.
"Oh, brother Xiao, don't get me wrong. It's just that the evil thing only likes wine. Every time it commits a crime, it comes smelling the aroma of wine. So, I would like to ask you to sell me a pot of this wine. The price is of course easy to negotiate."
Qin Sa said slowly, with fire in his eyes.
Of course, he also has his own selfish motives. If such a good wine is used to lure the evil thing, he will definitely take the bait, and he will naturally keep some for himself. After all, the taste is really memorable.
Ling Xiao pursed his lips and looked helplessly at Mu'er to one side.
"Two hundred spiritual stones, no two prices." Mu'er's face remained as usual and he continued to eat.
Upon hearing this, Qin Sa stood up and bowed respectfully to the two of them.
In Taoyuan City, people are clamoring for this kind of wine, which is said to be worth two hundred spiritual stones, even a pot worth a thousand gold.
For such a price, Ling Xiao was obviously selling himself a huge favor.
"Brother Xiao, if you need anything in the future, just call me brother and never refuse!" Qin Sa said boldly.
Ling Xiao nodded slightly.
The two of them continued to drink, and a quarter of an hour later, several people in black armor appeared outside the store. After calling a few times, Qin Sa left.
He also told Ling Xiao not to open the wine at night to avoid provoking the evil thing.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao also nodded indifferently. Now he had no intention of meddling in these nosy matters. His mind was filled with that unknown traveler.
After eating and drinking, Mu'er yawned and walked upstairs leisurely. At this time, she was already a little confused and kept rubbing her eyes.
Xie Shizi still followed him tirelessly, but Mu'er was determined. No matter what Xie Shizi said, she would not let the old man take a sip.
Seeing Mu'er's leaving figure, Ling Xiao felt doubtful in his heart.
Based on Mu'er's understanding of Taoyuan City, it is impossible for her not to know that the wine here is much better sold than in Huangyuan City. With her skills, she can make a prosperous life in Taoyuan City, a land where every inch of land is precious.
Can
Why would she still succumb to a small place like Huang Yuancheng?
As more and more mysteries surround Mu'er, Ling Xiao can't help but have doubts.
He seemed to be in the center of a storm. Although he was calm, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
