Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 658: Chapter 308 Drunkenness_2

The Doll’s cheeks flushed red as she recalled her previous embrace, and she couldn’t help but purse her lips.

How could she talk about such a thing with them?

[pouting face emoji]

“What are you nosing around for?” the Epidemic Doctor said, “Are you bullying the Doll because she’s simple-minded? Do you have to pry into even this? Doll, you don’t have to mind them, just privately tell me.”

“Alright, stop teasing her. Doll, just follow the steps.”

The Doll nodded repeatedly, although of course, the ‘Think Tank’ couldn’t see this scene.

She immediately took a large gourd out of the cupboard.

As a result, she missed the next message.

“By the way, Doll, how much can you drink? Don’t drink too much, or with the Night General’s EQ, after taking care of you, he might just leave through the open door…”

So, when Li Yelai walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, he saw the Doll holding a not-so-small gourd.

“What’s this?” Li Yelai asked in surprise after setting down the dishes. He could vaguely sense some spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the gourd.

“It’s a specialty from No. 2 Border City,” the Doll replied.

In fact, it was a fruit wine special to the Doomsday Forest.

In certain dangerous areas of the Doomsday Forest, some tasty spirit fruits grew.

The effects, of course, weren’t as significant as those of Shatang or Dan Wood Fruit.

But it also contained effects that could enhance one’s spiritual power strength.

Some extraordinary creatures that were monkey-like would pick these spirit fruits and store them, and by chance, they would ferment into a kind of fruit wine.

The Ye Boshous of No. 2 Border City had found a stash where an Overlord-level extraordinary creature brewed fruit wine.

They put in a lot of effort, called upon the Ma Family’s spiritual ability users, and used several taboo items to steal… no, to pick up the fruit wine.

In the end, they provoked that Overlord to go insane and start a fight with the neighboring Ancient Dragon Dominator.

This also became a specialty of No. 2 Border City, capable of enhancing the spiritual power strength of spiritual ability users, but the quantity of the fruit wine was small.

So, it was very valuable. It costs a lot of merit points.

And the Doll had, a few days ago, assisted No. 2 Border City and exchanged some spoils of war for a jug of Monkey Wine.

It was said that the wine aroma was rich and pure, the taste extremely good, and even the physical strength of Captain-level experts could be overwhelmed by its intoxication.

And as for the effects… they varied in enhancing spiritual power strength, but there was certainly an effect.

“Can it enhance spiritual power strength?” Li Yelai asked, surprised. His own physical strength was indeed strong, but he had never enhanced his own spiritual energy.

After all, methods to increase spiritual power strength were too few.

It was said that even within the Ember Church, only some ceremony from the Jile Sect could enhance spiritual power strength.

Furthermore, there was the sacrifice ceremony.

However, the sacrifice ceremony used a sacrifice to rapidly elevate one’s realm, so it didn’t entirely count as enhancing spiritual power strength.

“Yes, and it only works for Overlord-level and lower experts,” the Doll said. “I heard that the Ma Family gave quite a bit to Captain Yang Chen.”

It made sense, after all. Captain Yang Chen had killed an Overlord from the Doomsday Forest. It was appropriate to get some benefits.

Li Yelai thought to himself, then saw the Doll open the gourd and pour two cups of wine.

The fruit wine had a pale red color, especially dazzling under the light. At the moment it was poured, the rich aroma of the wine filled the room.

The Doll pushed a cup of wine in front of Li Yelai, her eyes half-curved, revealing an endearing and sweet smile: “To celebrate your becoming the Champion Agent… Night General Captain.”

“Ah, thank you!” Li Yelai responded. Not minding the formality, he raised his cup and drank it all in one go.

A spicy yet mellow taste spread in his mouth, with a subtle hint of fruitiness upon careful tasting.

At the same time, Li Yelai felt a slight change in his soul well.

His spiritual energy strength was subtly increasing.

Li Yelai exhaled and reminded, “This alcohol is quite strong; we should drink it slowly.”

Li Yelai usually didn’t drink much, even when he was among the Divine Chosen within the Ember Church, he rarely drank.

Let alone such rare extraordinary fruit wine.

“Mhm, mhm,” the Doll responded, yet proceeded to pour another cup for Li Yelai.

Li Yelai didn’t know how long the dinner had lasted, as the tableful of dishes was gradually devoured.

Their wine glasses were filled and emptied over and over again.

Alcohol stealthily spread through their bloodstreams, bringing subtle sensory changes. Li Yelai felt his vision blur, the scenery before him seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint mist.

And the Doll’s face got rosier and rosier, her earlobes flushed with a hint of red, like a vibrant, ripe fruit.

It wasn’t until the large gourd could no longer pour out any wine

that the Doll staggered to her feet, pulling at Li Yelai’s arm and insisting they go play games in the living room.

“You can hardly… walk straight, and you still want to play games? You should get some sleep early,” Li Yelai, who was also quite drunk, managed to croak out.

The Doll could barely walk straight and claimed she was pulling Li Yelai along.

In reality, Li Yelai had to support her a bit.

“Playing games can sober you up. Afterwards, we can go have supper…” The Doll said seriously, making it seem like a solid plan.

“Games can sober you up? What kind of remedy is that?” Li Yelai felt his head was heavy and thought that he couldn’t possibly play games in such a state.

Moreover, Li Yelai was lousy at games, playing like someone who couldn’t even scratch his own feet properly. In this state, wouldn’t he just be cannon fodder?

Although he felt slightly dizzy, he couldn’t help but be influenced by the Doll’s mood.

They staggered, supporting each other and slumped onto the couch in the living room.

Perhaps they were too drunk; once they leaned on the soft sofa, both stayed silent, the intoxication making them somewhat groggy.

He had no idea how much time had passed, but in a haze, he felt a weight on his lap, followed by a sensation that was indescribably soft and warm.

He struggled to open his sleepy eyes, only to see the girl sitting on his lap. Her flushed cheeks were close, her cherry lips slightly parted, emitting a strong scent of alcohol.

The next second, Li Yelai felt a familiar sensation on his earlobe.

It was a tender, slippery feeling, like delicate silk caressing his earlobe. He felt a tingling sensation spreading from his earlobe throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

He felt his ears tickle and shook his head to avoid the sensation.

This elicited some discontent from the girl, who seemed to mumble something about cheese and how… it seemed she felt greatly aggrieved.

At that moment, he noticed a brightly colored, inviting piece of fruit near the girl’s cheek… Thirsty, he bit into the fruit.

From the alcohol-laden room, the girl’s sweet, sticky nasal sound emerged.

The girl pursed her lips, unable to resist the overwhelming sensation, unconsciously letting out that honeyed nasal sound.

…

Inside Jing Family’s Mansion, several top members of the Jing Family were gathered.

The second and third generations of the Jing Family were all in the conference room.

“Are you saying, that Champion Agent is actually Jing Lian’s son?”

“A waste who didn’t receive the inheritance, wasting his bloodline’s potential. And he has such an All Phenomena Ability? The ability to mimic the High Awakening abilities of other paths?”

“Why are we only hearing about this information now? Mr. Jing Ji, you need to give me an explanation! You’ve been here in No.3 Border City for so long, and your grandson Jing Lin was even his friend. Didn’t you know about his special trait?”

Mr. Jing Ji looked up at everyone and said, “How would I know? I barely had contact with the Night General a few times. Jing Jing, my younger sister, told me not to deal with him, and I had to obey.”

Many gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

The folks of the three veins had not gotten along with them anyway.

More than twenty years ago, after Jing Lian fled the Jing Family, the three veins were suppressed by the main house and the other veins. Conflicts arose not too long ago.

Now that they’ve been outplayed, it was their own arrogance to blame for not investigating the Champion Agent in advance.

If they had made a good relationship with him before he became the Champion Agent, even if they couldn’t bring him back to the Jing Family, they wouldn’t have become enemies.

Now, it seemed difficult. Gilding the lily was not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Not to mention, they had previously intended to take away Li Yunyan… They probably had already offended someone.

“So, the Champion Agent might also enter the Immortal Palace and compete with us for opportunities?” someone asked, “He has the blood of our Jing Family, according to the agreement, he can enter that mansion too.”

“The defense system inside the Immortal Palace will react to Overlords and stronger beings. Hence, we can only send Sixth-sense Experts. Offending a local powerhouse of Captain Level might be imprudent.”

“No worries, we also have a God Blood Ancestor on our side. Besides, we seek different things…”

Mr. Jing Ji kept a poker face while inwardly sneering. The blood debt made by Divine Blood would eventually be repaid by someone…
