Wu Jie and Du Ruo sat in the pavilion waiting for the result. Unexpectedly, Du Xiu was gone for several hours, and they didn't know what he had done.
Although this unscrupulous Plum Blossom Spirit may have gone to tip off the news, or pulled a group of people to cause trouble, they are not afraid of Wu Jie's alchemy, and his strength is comparable to that of a fifth- and sixth-level Huandan figure; although Du Ruo was eliminated
She was rewarded by humanity, but after finding the way forward, her cultivation has become regular, and her strength has increased instead of falling. She still maintains the strength of the second and third levels of Huandan.
The two of them, brother and sister, could join forces with all the major sects in the human world. If the Sea-Eyed Monsters were truly as powerful as any of the major sects, how could they leave in such a hurry and not even dare to stay in the East China Sea?
?
There is no difference between day and night at the bottom of the sea. After a long time, both of them had finished the pot of plum blossom wine left by Duxiu, but he still hadn't come back.
The jug of plum blossom wine looks like it's only about a foot tall, but there's a lot of space inside. It's a rough estimate that one jug is worth at least five or six half-person-high wine jars in ordinary restaurants. Wu Jie and Du Ruo were chatting and laughing.
Unknowingly, I drank it all.
Because the wine was very sweet, Du Ruo drank a lot, and she drank at least 80% of it. It was not until Wu Jie poured wine for her again, but found that not even a drop could be poured out of the jug, that he came to his senses.
Come.
"Third sister, how much did you drink?"
"I don't feel much..." Du Ruo was a little confused and reached for the wine bottle, but his body didn't obey him for some reason. If Wu Jie hadn't caught him in time, he almost fell down.
"Something's wrong. I'm a ghost. Have you ever seen a drunk ghost?" She was stunned for a while and then said slowly, "No, no.
Of course Wu Jie has never seen a drunk ghost, but he has also never seen a ghost that can drink.
Ghosts in the world, no matter how high their cultivation level is, cannot digest the wine they drink or the food they eat. In fact, ghosts cannot feel the various tastes at all. Drinking and eating food is completely equivalent to storing wine and food.
The law only exists in the body.
But Du Ruo was different. When she was still in the world of the Book of Heaven, she was unable to eat or drink at first. However, as she continued to absorb Yin Qi and practice, she began to be able to truly feel the ups and downs without realizing it, and regained her ability to eat. Later, she practiced
After many years, and with the help of human rewards, she condensed into her true body in one fell swoop, and all her actions were no different from those of ordinary people. Wu Jie even doubted that the reason why she still retained various abilities of a ghost was because she was indeed a ghost? Or was it her?
Did you subconsciously use your own magical powers to manifest these abilities?
He discussed this issue with Jasmine. Although Jasmine could see Du Ruo's cultivation state and could point her in the way forward, many details were not clear. She observed Du Ruo for a long time, but she could not figure out Wu Jie
question.
But today, Wu Jie inadvertently obtained a very strong evidence, proving that Du Ruo is no longer a ghost as she thought, but has transformed into a flesh and blood body, retaining at most some ghost abilities.
That’s all.
This evidence is that Du Ruo was drunk
Although Du Ruo tried very hard to stand up straight, or at least prove that she was not drunk, everyone knew that a drunk person could not do these things. So she held on to the table and stood up unsteadily.
, walked a few more wobbly steps, but finally failed to hold on. Taking a strange front foot to trip over the back foot, he fell straight down again and fell into Wu Jie's arms.
"You're really drunk."
"It's impossible I just drank a little bit"
Wu Jie sighed and said that when he was drunk, it didn't matter when he didn't feel it. Once he felt it, the drunkenness would come up immediately and his mind would become confused involuntarily.
Du Ruo had been thinking about the question "Can ghosts be drunk?" before, but in the blink of an eye, like all drunkards, he started arguing about "I'm not drunk."
"Okay, okay, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk."
"Yeah, I'm not drunk at all. Let's have another drink." Du Ruo said as he pushed himself up and tried to stand up again, but he fell even harder. Fortunately, Wu Jie was very strong and could hold him no matter what, so he wouldn't be in trouble.
Make her really fall.
Du Ruo was very satisfied that he had not fallen, so he sat up again with Wu Jie half-carrying and half-supporting him, staring at the wine bottle on the table with somewhat unfocused eyes.
"Haha, Fourth Brother, you are really capable. You only have one bottle of wine, but you actually made several more bottles at once."
Wu Jie was stunned and turned around to see that there was only one wine bottle on the table.
Du Ruo smiled stupidly and reached for the jug, but he grabbed it empty. Her hand was conservatively estimated to be more than half a foot away from the jug.
"Huh? How could this happen? I obviously caught it." She was stunned for a moment, then grabbed a few more handfuls, but all were empty.
Du Ruo tilted his head and thought for a while, suddenly realized, and looked at Wu Jie angrily.
"Fourth brother, are you taking care of your sister because of your ability? You are amazing."
"Huh?" Wu Jie was stunned, and unexpectedly suffered a disaster. He and Du Ruo had known each other for many years and had a good understanding of each other. He understood what she meant in an instant and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"I'm not causing trouble."
"The bad guys all say they didn't do anything wrong."
"I'm not a bad guy, Third Sister, do you think of me like this?"
"If you don't let me drink, you will become a bad guy."
"But there is only one bottle of wine on the table, and you drank it all."
"Nonsense, there are clearly three...no, four more pots." Du Ruo's face was as red as rouge, and his breath was filled with the sweet smell of alcohol, "It's obviously you who used your magical power to prevent me from getting the pots."
Humph, you can even move mountains and seas, so what does hiding a few wine bottles mean?”
"Eh? This is just trying to incriminate yourself." Wu Jie couldn't help but screamed, "Third sister, even if I had the ability, I couldn't play such a trick in front of you. You are also at the Golden Core level after all.
"
"What do you mean, at any rate, your sister and I are already strong in the golden elixir." Du Ruo raised his hand and knocked on the table with an annoyed look on his face, "Anyway, bring out the wine for me."
"I didn't hide the wine."
"Whether you have hidden the wine or not, please bring it out for me." Du Ruo was completely unreasonable, "I want plum blossom wine and I want it now."
Wu Jie persuaded her several times, but she was determined to have a good drink no matter what, so she forced Wu Jie to bring out the plum blossom wine. But where did Wu Jie get the wine? Not to mention that he didn't know about the plum blossom wine at all.
Even if you know how wine is made, you won’t have time to change it.
In desperation, he had no choice but to use the source power of the Book of Heaven to turn into another pot of wine.
"Master... you are too extravagant." Jasmine, who was studying the Blood Demon Sect's skills, felt that the source power of the Heavenly Book world had changed. Although the amount was very small, it still alarmed the little miser. She hurriedly ran out and saw
When Wu Jie was using his energy to conjure plum blossom wine, he couldn't help but beat his chest, as if he had lost a large sum of money.
Wu Jie was instantly embarrassed. Using the source power of the Book of Heaven to turn into wine, he felt a bit like a prodigal. Especially when his own little housekeeper caught him doing it, it was doubly embarrassing.
"This... that... Jasmine, you see the weather is so nice today..."
"Master must be diligent and thrifty. Of course, you can't be stingy in the things you should use, but you should be frugal in the things you shouldn't use." Jasmine put her hands on her hips and Luo Li said a lot. All in all, she hoped that he would not be so wasteful and be careful.
Realize that every drop of source power is hard-earned, and devote your limited life to unlimited money... As for what to do with the earned source power? She was very happy to see the source power increase little by little.
, I never thought about anything else.
All in all, this is a typical miser's thinking, which is exactly the same as the legendary Shylock, Grandet or Yan Jiansheng. There may be some differences in details, but the general spirit is completely consistent.
Wu Jie in the world of the Book of Heaven was facing the aggressive Jasmine, and outside the world of the Book of the Book, he was facing the impatient Du Ruo. For a moment, he only felt that one head had two big heads, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
"There must be something wrong with my luck today," he couldn't help complaining, "How come all these unlucky things happened together."
Fortunately, Jasmine could still negotiate. After promising to "replenish the lost source power as soon as possible", Jasmine finally stopped caring and went back to tormenting the old man with the sky-eye. Wu Jie was finally able to bring the plum blossom wine that he had finally obtained with great difficulty.
Come out and give it to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo was already impatient with waiting. As soon as she got the flask, she didn't even bother to use the cup. She just drank directly at the spout for a long time. She didn't know how much she drank before she put down the flask with satisfaction and said to Wu
Thumbs up.
“Well done, Fourth, you are really capable.”
Wu Jie was too lazy to argue with her. Gu Long once said that drunkards are unreasonable, and so are women. So the person who is even more unreasonable than drunkards or women is naturally a drunk woman.
Well, for example, Du Ruo was laughing at him.
But just because he didn't care, it didn't mean that Du Ruo would let him go. Du Ruo, who was completely drunk, had a very out-of-the-box way of thinking, and suddenly became unhappy again for some reason. The reason was, "It's too boring to drink alone, Fourth Brother, do it."
Drink with me."
Wu Jie's drinking capacity is not very good, but his unique plum blossom wine is full of stamina. He drank a lot, and did not use magic to get rid of the alcohol. Now he felt a little drunk. Facing Du Ruo's
How dare he agree to the request when his family knows about his family affairs?
But Du Ruo immediately became angry. She yelled, bared her teeth and claws, and tried her best to get Wu Jie to drink with her.
"We are here to find someone. If we are all drunk, who is going to find someone?"
"How is it possible that you can even carry a mountain? A bottle of wine is nothing." Du Ruo's eyes were watery, and he didn't know whether he was angry or sad, "I know you are only willing to drink with that little white-haired girl from the same country.
Sister, I am getting old and sallow, and you don’t like it when you look at me...
"Hey, you look a little younger than Yin Shuang."
"real?"
"Of course" Yin Shuang in the Nether World looks like she is twenty-three or fourteen years old, but Du Ruo still looks like he was when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. In comparison, Du Ruo naturally looks younger. Wu Jie's statement is not true at all.
false.
Although Yin Shuang's physical appearance looks younger than her soul, she is only about seventeen or eighteen years old and has not completely shed her youthfulness, but she is still more mature than Du Ruo, who is sixteen or seventeen years old.
Du Ruo suddenly smiled, but then became unhappy again: "Hey, fourth child, do all men like more mature women?"
"There's no such thing. As far as I know, there is a kind of man in the world called a 'lolicon,' who just likes little girls who haven't grown up yet."
"...You mean, I am one of those little girls who never grow up? Even if I live to be five hundred years old, I will still look like a girl who has no feminine charm at all?"
"I didn't say that."
"But that's what you meant"
"No, I'm not a lolicon"
"...So, you still think Yin Shuang is more mature and attractive, right?"
"...Third sister, please forgive me. Isn't it okay for me to drink?" Wu Jie was at a loss for words after being forced to do so by her. He reluctantly picked up the wine flask and poured himself a full glass.
He finally understood that Du Ruo was determined to have him drink with her today. If he didn't drink with her, she would definitely make Wu Jie unhappy, very unhappy.
With the idea that "at worst, I will use my magic power to get rid of the alcohol after drinking", Wu Jiefang put aside his worries and drank one glass at a time with Du Ruo and me.
After a while, he felt that simply drinking like this was a bit boring. With the idea of "using a little is enough, why not just use a little more, a luxury is nothing", and used the source power of the Book of Heaven to create the next
Food and drinks.
"No sweets," Du Ruo protested.
Wu Jie didn't bother to discuss whether it was appropriate to drink wine and eat cakes. With a wave of his hand, there were many more sweets on the table.
Du Ruo then smiled happily, drank and ate at the same time, and showed off his unique skills. Eating and drinking did not affect his clear speech at all, chatting all over the place with Wu Jie.
Wu Jie initially had the idea of "using magic power to dispel the alcoholism later", but before he knew it, this idea had been thrown out of his mind, and he was only interested in eating, drinking and chatting.
One cup after another, one pot after another, and I don’t know how long I ate, drank, and chatted for an unknown amount of time. Du Ruo was finally overcome with alcohol, and after bursting out laughing for no apparent reason, he crawled softly under the table.
"Huh, I thought that's all because of how much you drink." Wu Jie had completely forgotten about dispelling the alcohol at this moment. He stood up unsteadily and looked sideways at Du Ruo, who was sleeping soundly under the table.
She smiled happily and said, "Isn't sister amazing? She's only a little over a month older than me. We are almost a hundred years old. What's more than a month? I'm bullying people all day long...
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you think I'm a sick cat, right? Let's see if you collapse now."
He stood there crookedly, leaning sideways and pointing like a halberd, arrogant and arrogant, like a general returning victorious from a great battle.
It's a pity that there are only him and Du Ruo here, and Du Ruo is already drunk and fast asleep. His arrogant and handsome attitude, as if he is the only one in the world, is completely ogling a blind man and has no meaning at all.
Wu Jie smiled, and for some reason he thought of his long-lost apprentice Qin Jing, and couldn't help but muttered: "That Duxiu guy really talks a lot and doesn't act well. He's been out for so long, how come he has no news at all?"
None? There should be some news about whether he is alive or dead and whereabouts are.
He was determined to find Qin Jing alone, but he couldn't worry about Du Ruo who was sleeping. At this time, his mind was already in a state of confusion. He completely forgot that he could take Du Ruo back to the world of the Book of Heaven, so he just cast a spell to create a quilt and remove her from it.
He dragged it out from under the table, stuffed it into the quilt, and sat next to it to wait.
"Alas, Third Sister, Third Sister, you are usually very lively and don't look like a girl at all. You only look like a woman when you are fast asleep..." Looking at Du Ruo's peaceful sleeping face, Wu Jie couldn't help but sigh, "Like this
How can I get married if I go down?"
At this time, he completely forgot about Qing Yan, who was punched by him until he vomited blood because he was suspected of pursuing Du Ruo.
"Actually, your appearance can be considered a beauty. Especially in our world of immortal cultivators, a beautiful and capable female monk is really a rare animal more precious than a giant panda. For example, those in our sect
You junior fellow apprentices are all very popular, but why don't you attract any attention at all?"
If Bai Qing Yanquan had knowledge, would he shake his head and sigh? Or would he point his finger at himself and then raise his middle finger to him?
Wu Jie just sat next to Du Ruo, chattering without knowing what to say. While talking, he also drank from a wine bottle. He was almost exactly the same as Du Ruo just now. He was indeed a good brother and sister who had been together for nearly a hundred years.
I don't know how long it took, but the plum blossom wine in the wine pot had been refilled several times. His ears suddenly twitched and he turned his head to look outside.
A ray of yellow light flew over and turned into a disheveled figure. When he was far away, he shouted: "Trouble is coming, trouble is coming."
"Why are you so panicked?" Wu Jie stood up proudly, swayed several times, stood firm while holding on to the pillar beside him, and shouted angrily, using the lines he read from the play, "You have lost the momentum of my army."
"Army? Where did the army come from?" Du Xiu's train of thought suddenly changed direction. He looked at Wu Jie in confusion, and then saw Du Ruo lying under the quilt. He suddenly understood and laughed.
"I'm just saying, there's no way a biological sister can compare to a godly sister. We're all men, you know."
Wu Jie squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrows as hard as he could, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You just said, 'Disaster is coming. What's going on?"
Before Duxiu could answer, he turned his head and looked outside Merlin. He saw purple air flowing, golden light flashing, and a white shadow. It made people feel bitingly cold from a long distance away, but there were several
Two great Ning Yuan demons came hand in hand, and Wu Jie could vaguely feel an aura as deep as the sea, among which there was a demon king at the elixir-returning level.
"Fellow Taoist, you'd better take your wife and run away. Boss Jin, Wu Nian, Hai Qing and Hu Guang are all coming to trouble you." Duxiu then remembered the business and said hurriedly, "That guy Hu Guang has already returned the elixir.
...No matter how powerful you are, you can't defeat them, so it's only right to apply oil on the soles of your feet as soon as possible.
"Escape?" Wu Jie's eyes widened and he snorted coldly from his nose, like an angry bullfighting, "A certain family has been in the world for decades and has never turned its back to the enemy."
"There is a saying that 'a real man can bend and stretch, and a wish-fulfilling stick can be soft or hard'..."
"Just watch from here, they are just a bunch of clowns, chickens and dogs." Wu Jie laughed loudly, grabbed the wine bottle and drank a few more sips, then threw the wine bottle away, head held high and chest raised.
Walking towards the enemy, "Watch me crush them to pieces"
