Chapter 228 The confidence of Bai Ze’s drinking buddy Jiang Yuenuan
Yunnan University Campus, Back Mountain.
It had just rained, and the air smelled of moist earth.
The nine-jointed wolf covered in reddish-brown hair crawled slowly in front, its black stubby limbs following suit, and its ringed tail wagging.
Luo He looked at Xiao Jiu, who was leading the way, and wondered if Xiao Jiu had gained weight again.
To be precise, the food at home is so good that it makes the Jiujie Wolf stronger!
At this time, Xiao Jiu turned her head, grinning with white spots on her face, revealing her little tongue.
Luo He took a closer look and saw the chipmunk's secret base in front of him - a huge banyan tree with a cave inside.
"We've arrived." Luo He smiled slightly, "Thank you for leading the way, Xiaojiu."
The aura exuded by Xiaojiu has the effect of exorcising monsters, avoiding encounters with wild beasts.
After all, the pet beasts roaming freely in the mountains might be the graduation project of some senior brother or sister...
It's better not to disturb them.
Xiao Jiu shrugged her little white ears, lay down on the ground, put her cheek on the ground, and tilted her head.
It was so cute that Luo He smiled.
It’s hard to imagine what it would be like if Xiaojiu learned the “Killing Intention Fluctuation”.
Probably similar to...a ferocious cute beast?
Nothing happened to Xiaojiu next, so Luo He took it back to the pet space to rest.
Looking around, I found no trace of the chipmunk.
Suddenly, there was rustling in the treetops.
Whoosh!
The black shadow quickly shuttled between the branches, and it turned out to be a little squirrel with beautiful patterns.
When the chipmunk saw Luo He, his eyes showed surprise, and he jumped up and fell to the ground.
Bang!
The fall stirred up a strong gust of wind, blowing away the fallen leaves.
The chipmunk appeared like a hero, kneeling on one knee and raising one hand behind his back, then stood up and looked at Luo He, asking vaguely:
"Zhi?" (Luo He, are you here to see me?)
Looking at the chipmunk's innocent eyes, Luo He really couldn't bear to lie and said:
"I'm here to drink with you."
By the way, let’s summon a beautiful drunkard who has a special liking for fine wine and snacks.
The chipmunk puffed up his cheeks and said: "Squeak~" (Drinking will cause trouble!)
It still remembered that it had been drinking with Senior Bai Ze before, and when it sobered up, it found that the food reserved for the winter was almost empty!
It will be the beginning of winter soon... Shushu is worried... If we don't stock up on food, we won't be able to survive this day!
"It's okay if you don't drink." Luo He said, "I'll borrow the treasure land and use it, so I won't bother you to stock up on food."
The chipmunk tilted his head: "Squeak?" (What are you going to do?)
Luo He replied: "I'll just make some wine... it should be fine, right?"
The chipmunk thought for a while, agreed to Luo He's request, and then stretched out his hands to his bulging cheeks.
One peanut, two peanuts... Under Luo He's shocked gaze, the chipmunk took out nearly a hundred nuts from its cheek pouch and piled them on the ground like a hill.
This pile of nuts is several times bigger than a chipmunk. Can it even be stuffed into its mouth?
Luo He was amazed.
If the Prime Minister is going to use chipmunks to transport grain this year, why bother building wooden cows and flowing horses!
In fact, the ancestor of the chipmunk was really the quartermaster of Emperor Wu, and he probably also shouldered the responsibility of 'transporting grain'.
"Squeak~" (You should be busy, there are still a bunch of them in the mountains, I will transport them over again.)
"Don't you need to put them into the tree hole first?" Luo He asked.
"Squeak!" (No, it'll take a while!)
Soon, the chipmunk disappeared from Luo He's sight.
Luo He looked at the pile of nuts and fell into deep thought... Why does this scene feel familiar?
Shaking his head, Luo He took out the Baize bottle, concentrated on it, and started making wine.
Bai Ze Bottle can accelerate fermentation. By injecting the power of space and raw materials into the wine bottle, combined with the special abilities of legendary kitchen utensils, you can quickly brew fine wine.
But this also places high demands on the user's brewing skills, because during the brewing process, Luohe needs to pay attention to the fermentation situation and control the Baize Zun according to the situation.
All in all, this is a process that requires patience.
Luo He put aside his distracting thoughts, put the prickly pear fruit into it, and started making wine.
As time goes by, the wine bottle exudes bursts of fragrance, and the fragrance of the immortal wine is thick and dense. Just one sip will make people intoxicated, no less than the wine.
The Baize bottle suddenly bloomed with golden light, and the liquid in the wine bottle also became radiant. Suddenly, the aroma of wine rose into the sky, and white clouds gathered in this direction in the clear blue sky.
Immortal brew, you’re done!
Luo He looked up at the sky, slightly surprised.
Is it possible to have visions of heaven and earth just by brewing wine?
Luo He was quickly relieved.
First of all, Bai Zezun's power comes from the sacred beast, and it is normal for him to move the world.
Secondly, as the young master of Donghuang, the golden light blooms during the cooking process, it has its own sound effects, and it summons the green dragon... all are very reasonable!
But the next moment, Luo He found that he had been slapped in the face.
This is not a vision of heaven and earth brought about by wine-making at all.
It’s the big boss’s appearance special effects!
White clouds cover the sky and snowflakes fall.
In the meantime, there is a slender figure riding on the clouds and mist, with a wine gourd hanging on one side of his slender waist.
In Luo He's surprised eyes, the beauty with white hair and strange eyes descended on the clouds.
Before he could think about it carefully, he saw Baize's golden-red eyes fixed on him, his eyes moved downwards, towards Baize Zun, and he licked the corner of his mouth.
Immediately, Bai Ze was very dissatisfied and stuffed the wine gourd into Luo He's arms:
"If you have something delicious to drink, don't call me - Man Shang!"
Luo He whispered: "It turns out that by making wine, I can summon you here..."
"Um?"
"Nothing, I said your way of showing up is unique!"
"I heard everything." Bai Ze said lazily, "I know you must have something to ask me for. Secondly, flying in the clouds and riding in the mist is not a profound thing. If your pet beast reaches the totem level, I can also teach you."
Excuse me!
Luo He coughed lightly and said, "To be honest, I do have something to ask you..."
Luo He told Senior Bai Ze about the theft of the Jade Dragon Horn, and the culprit was suspected to be related to the East China Sea Dragon Clan, and then he probed:
"You know everything, can you help me figure out who this thief is?"
Bai Ze was silent, stretched out his hand to stuff the wine gourd into Luo He's arms, and took it back again.
Luo He was stunned.
Bai Ze muttered:
"I no longer intend to be tainted by the cause and effect of the world...I can't tell you about this matter. You can only find the truth by yourself."
Luo He nodded in understanding.
Senior Bai Ze is already a super-normal existence in the world today, and there must be many situations where he cannot take action personally.
The more you know, the more it becomes a curse. Senior Bai Ze's addiction to alcohol is also a way to numb his mind and protect himself.
"I understand. It was indeed me who was abrupt."
Luo He reached out to Bai Ze for the wine gourd and smiled:
"Senior Bai Ze, let's have a drink."
"That's right." The beauty with white hair and different eyes held out the wine gourd and nodded carelessly: "Drink, drink!"
Luo He poured wine into the wine gourd. Before he could pour much wine, Bai Ze called him to stop.
Facing Luo He's surprised gaze, Bai Ze said calmly:
"I know you have other uses for this wine... This time, I will only try it briefly."
Luo He was surprised that senior Bai Ze, who was an alcoholic, was able to restrain himself and not drink too much.
But perhaps, he had underestimated Bai Ze, who was known as the "wise man".
She obviously had a premonition or insight into something, but she was unable to take action due to her identity.
What is different from the last time the crusade against ferocious beasts from the outside world was that this time it was a conflict between the guardian gods within Donghuang.
In the final analysis, there is no way for Senior Bai Ze to help with this trip to the East China Sea.
Luo He was not too depressed. After all, it was enough to go to Donghai for a banquet and bring Senior Qing and Senior Turtle with him.
While Luo He was thinking, he suddenly heard an exclamation of "chi".
The chipmunk stood blankly on the ground, his eyes reflecting Bai Ze, who was eating peanuts and drinking wine.
"Hey, Chipmunk." Bai Ze greeted with a smile, "Let's have a drink together, and I'll teach you a few tricks later!"
The chipmunk burst into tears: "Squeak!"
I don’t want to become stronger, I just want to stock up on food reserves for the winter!
Sunset in the west.
Bai Ze lay on his side without any concern for his image, with his hands on his temples, his cheeks flushed, and he said with a smile:
"In modern terms, when you pair peanuts with wine, the more you drink, the better it tastes, haha..."
The chipmunk lay on the bluestone and slept soundly. He also drank a lot of wine with Bai Ze.
In fact, it loves to drink too much. It goes back and forth and becomes drinking buddies with Senior Bai Ze.
Every time he drinks, the chipmunk's food reserves will suffer...
Luo He coughed lightly and thought to himself:
"The worst case scenario is that the chipmunks will come to my house to spend the winter."
It is said that if you have the legendary kitchen utensils and raise a totem-level pet, it won’t be a big problem!
"Luo He, you go first."
Bai Ze yawned and said lazily:
"I'll show you the chipmunk later."
With the guidance of Senior Bai Ze, the chipmunk's strength is bound to improve by leaps and bounds.
The price paid was winter food... I don’t know whether it was a joy or a worry.
"No problem." Luo He said: "Senior Bai Ze, I'll leave first."
Bai Ze nodded slightly, his cheeks flushed, but the depths of his eyes were still as deep as ancient wells.
In her eyes, Luo He's retreating back was reflected, like a piercing fire, with a cluster of shimmering light dancing around.
"Not affected by cause and effect, not affected by cause and effect——"
Bai Ze was thinking about it and said to himself:
"I went to drink together... I only care about Luo He, not the cause and effect!"
*
The next day.
Luo He woke up and browsed yesterday's travel diary.
Last night, Xiaojiu was practicing in the Kunlun Mountains and accidentally entered a bamboo forest.
However, Xiao Jiu unexpectedly discovered that all the bamboos had turned into monsters wielding bamboo joints, and they were attacking him with their fangs and claws.
Xiaojiu sensed something was wrong and used the Sun God Eye to instantly break the illusion and discovered the real murderer, the 'Dream Tapir'.
The Dream Tapir is a dark pet beast that is good at devouring dreams, sucking its life energy by luring people into sleep.
Xiao Jiu was already resentful, but suddenly remembered that [Ghost Rosary] had the power to restrain dark beasts, and took advantage of the situation to use "Killing Intention Wave".
The dream tapir fled, and Xiao Jiu also brought back a third-level resource called "Dream Dust", which can be used to improve illusion moves.
The top tactic that Xue Xue can learn [Wan Hua Jing Xuan Zhi Kong] is essentially a large-scale illusion field, and these 'dream dust' are left to Xue Xue.
Yuyu trained "Lightning Strike" last night to prepare for the upgrade of "Lightning Strike" to the king-level "Sky Thunder".
Xiu met a ‘Hercules Insect’ in Chan City yesterday.
The appearance of the Hercules insect is that of a horned fairy with a black gold shell. Its long horn is like a halberd, and it is extremely powerful.
The Hercules bug that Xiu encountered even knew how to use a halberd, which made Xiu say "Please try again, hero" once again.
Luo He couldn't help but hissed.
[Zen City] Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is obviously a novice copy of Xiu, but it is already Shura difficulty.
If Xiu can promote this copy, it will be announced that the hero has officially come out!
After counting last night's "hang harvest", Luo He thought about the next itinerary.
Buzz——
The phone vibrated, and Luo He glanced at the caller ID.
After answering the call, Jiang Yuenuan's angry voice sounded on the other end:
"You, how did you get my brother to agree to let you attend the birthday banquet?"
Luo He was startled, connected the cause and effect, and soon realized that Jiang Yuenuan learned from her brother that he was going to attend the birthday banquet with her.
"I just treated him to a meal." Luo He said truthfully.
"ah?"
Jiang Yuenuan said blankly:
"We played like that in the finals, and you still have dinner together?"
Jiang Yuenuan also watched the video of the final between his brother and Luo He.
To be honest, it was hard for her to imagine that the player wearing one and five on the stage would be Luo He.
Jiang Yuenuan knew his brother's strength very well, so he was even more surprised after watching the game.
Among his peers, almost only Master Li back then could compete with Luo He now!
Luo He muttered: "I am a more hospitable person."
Jiang Yuenuan curled her lips and asked curiously: "What else did you talk about while eating?"
Hearing this question, Luo He looked strange.
Your brother wants me to be his brother-in-law...
But these words are obviously inappropriate.
Luo He coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. We were just talking about birthdays, and your brother transferred his place to me, saying he was thanking me for inviting him to dinner."
Jiang Yuenuan's big eyes were full of confusion.
When did my brother and his surname Luo get on such good terms?
etc.
Could it be that my brother deliberately asked Luo He to attend the birthday banquet with me?
This is something Dongyang would do.
Jiang Yuenuan clenched her fists tightly.
In short, he must have bad intentions when he asked Luo to go to the birthday banquet!
"When will you leave for the East China Sea?" Luo He asked.
"What for?" Jiang Yuenuan replied.
"I will enter the Dragon Palace with you to prevent you from causing trouble," Luo He said.
I am the one who should say this, right?
But remembering that he had saved his life, Jiang Yuenuan suddenly became discouraged again and said honestly:
"The day after tomorrow, grandma and I will come to Jiangcheng together. The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the old Dragon King, and then you will go to the Dragon Palace with us."
Luo He nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go to Jiangcheng and wait for you tomorrow."
Luo He planned to go to Jiangcheng first to inquire about the information about the East China Sea Dragon Clan.
With the triple identity of the Sixth, Ninth, and Hunter Associations, Luo He had an easier time obtaining information.
"Let's make an agreement first. After you enter the Dragon Palace, you must listen to my grandma's words."
Jiang Yuenuan said seriously: "She is the most powerful dragon master in Donghuang, and she also understands the rules of Donghai. It is right to follow her closely."
"What does your grandma like to eat?" Luo He said: "I will bring her some greeting gifts."
"Why don't you bring me a meeting gift?" Jiang Yuenuan said angrily.
"We have met several times, I think there is no need for this." Luo He said.
"Tch...there's no need to bring gifts." Jiang Yuenuan whispered, "so that she doesn't get misunderstood."
Luo He thought to himself: "How about beef jerky? If she can't eat it, we'll split it up..."
Jiang Yuenuan: "Please be a human being!"
Hang up the phone.
Miss Jiang called her brother directly and asked:
"Aren't you sworn enemies? How come you made friends with Luo He?"
Jiang Dongyang was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"The food he cooks...is really delicious."
Jiang Yuenuan: "..."
Can't refute!
"I know what you're going to say."
Jiang Dongyang said calmly:
"I asked Luo He to go to the East China Sea on my behalf for two purposes."
"First of all, he has a deeper understanding of the Jade Dragon God's token. If the Jade Dragon Horn is really in the East China Sea, traveling with him can increase your chances of discovering the Jade Dragon Horn, thus adding a glimmer of hope for obtaining the token. Otherwise, it's just you who wants to find the token in the East China Sea.
Finding the Jade Dragon Horn in the East China Sea is like finding a needle in a haystack."
Jiang Yuenuan thoughtfully nodded and said, "What about the second purpose?"
Jiang Dongyang opened his mouth, then suddenly fell silent again and said:
"There is no second purpose."
Jiang Yuenuan:?
"I'm going to train." Jiang Dongyang said calmly: "Sister, I wish you a smooth trip."
"Humph, you still have to say it."
Jiang Yuenuan was full of confidence and said:
"I promise to discover [Jade Dragon Horn] before Luo He!"
