Chapter 1538: Chapter 1360: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

Beside her, Yun Xiao "coughed" and then turned towards Bei Shan, "Bei Shan, if you dare to say another word, I’ll throw you down this mountain immediately!"

Bei Shan realized he might have said something wrong, and he quickly slapped himself lightly in the face, "It was my fault for speaking out of turn. I have things to do, so I’ll leave now. But little witch, our scores are not settled yet. When the chance arises, I’ll settle them with you slowly!"

Bei Shan ran out as if he were fleeing, but after closing the door, he shouted back in, "Yun Xiao, it doesn’t matter if you throw me down the mountain, I know light body techniques, haha..."

"I’ll castrate you!" Yun Xiao coolly retorted.

All was silent outside.

Xia Dabao had a bad premonition. She looked at Yun Xiao and asked, "What did Bei Shan mean when he said that I won’t be worth anything after this period?"

"Once the Clan Chief has properly raised the Gu, he won’t need you, and naturally, you’ll be worthless. Isn’t that obvious?" Yun Xiao said disdainfully.

Xia Dabao thought about it and agreed.

Once the Gu was raised, there would indeed be no use for her to stay.

Then, she would be able to see her parents.

With Bei Shan gone, Xia Dabao looked at the plate of untouched pig liver in front of her, naturally having lost all appetite for it. So she asked Camellia to make her another bowl of rice noodles. Camellia was about to leave when Xia Dabao called her back, "Wait, I have a question."

Camellia quickly asked Xia Dabao, "What question do you have, Lady Dabao?"

"What do they eat? I’m the only one who eats the meals you prepare," Xia Dabao pointed towards the guards in the room.

Camellia explained, "The Four Elements can grab something to eat when they switch shifts. As for Envoy Yun, it depends on his mood. He eats when it suits him."

"Alright then, go on and cook," Xia Dabao instructed.

It was getting late, and Xia Dabao, staying just in this halfway house on the mountain, could feel extremely hungry—Yun Xiao and the others were always on the move, they must have been hungry by now.

Now that Axian was asleep, and Camellia and Peony only knew how to cook and work without knowing much else, and with Yun Xiao being tight-lipped, Xia Dabao felt incredibly bored by herself.

When she was bored, she liked to play pranks.

So, when Camellia brought over the rice noodles, Xia Dabao asked for some wine, a fragrant one at that.

Camellia didn’t know if Xia Dabao could handle her liquor and could only look to Yun Xiao for guidance. He nodded.

The Clan Chief had said, she could eat whatever she wanted, drink whatever she wished.

After all, there were still a few days left before the next blood draw.

Camellia then brought out a bamboo tube wine specially brewed by the clan, but repeatedly cautioned, "Miss Dabao, this wine can get you drunk easily. You better not drink too much, it might..."

Glancing at Yun Xiao and recalling every time he got drunk and embarrassed himself, she dared not continue, lest she offend someone.

"Fine, I won’t drink too much. Just leave it here," Xia Dabao said.

She first poured herself a cup to taste, and no sooner had it touched her lips than she exclaimed with joy, "My god, this wine is even better than the Daughter’s Red from the Central Plains!"

After she finished speaking, she even threw a glance at Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao, however, remained unmoved.

"Oh no, oh no, I can’t hold it steady. Oops, I’ve spilled..." Xia Dabao intentionally knocked over her wine cup, and the wine spilled onto the stone table in the courtyard, not long after, the aroma of the wine filled the entire yard.

Yun Xiao was seen swallowing hard.
