Chapter 327: Chapter 324 Bloodstained Wine_1

They say Immortals care about their reputation, and those with legacies, or those who have made a name for themselves or their clans, especially value dignity.

The Phoenix Clan’s phoenix fire is the nirvanic fire, capable of killing or saving lives, and is acclaimed as the supreme fire among all flames. Since phoenix fire is unique to the Phoenix Clan, it has become a symbol of the clan! Even the clan’s emblem features the fiery pattern of the phoenix fire, which shows the status of the phoenix fire within the Phoenix Clan.

In truth, within the Phoenix Clan, no one dares to desecrate the phoenix fire, for desecrators are either kicked out of the clan or locked up...

But at this moment, the phoenix fire was being used to stew a chicken...

And that Fire Spear was Nezha’s weapon. Nezha had once charged into Chaoge City with the Fire Spear, and both Nezha and the Fire Spear have reputations that precede them! Alas, a lifetime of glory, now relegated to a spatula...

Comparing these two items, Chongba even felt a tinge of self-satisfaction thinking about his own nondescript, origin-less identity...

"Chongba, if you think about it, your shell has actually made a profit. From now on, when you go out, you don’t need to say who your father is, or who your master is, you can just say your shell has hung out with the Fire Spear and phoenix fire, and that will give you a different status altogether," Qin Shou came over to add that final straw to break the camel’s back.

Sure enough, Chongba subconsciously nodded and said, "It seems... that’s the case."

At that moment, Mutou came over, shaking his head, about to say something, when Qin Shou interrupted, "Mutou, do you want some food?"

Mutou nodded.

Qin Shou said, "Then shut up."

Mutou continued nodding...

By now, Chongba had tacitly acknowledged his shell’s number one magic power—cooking!

A potful of chicken stew was quickly ready, and then Qin Shou added some bear paws, tiger ribs, and the like to the pot, and dish after dish was served.

Jiucai and company were also busy, pulling over desks and combining them into a makeshift dining table.

Then they set out the dishes, placed the wine cups, and a group of people lined up, looking at the still-competing Wenqu Star Monarch and Master Lu, who were like two fighting roosters.

On one side, the aroma of meaty dishes wafted through the air, while on the other, the two stood immovable as mountains, like hermits from another realm, as though even if thunder cracked and the world turned upside down around them, they only had eyes for each other, unshakeable!

Seeing this, Chongba sighed, "Is this what they call a state of self-forgetting?"

Longhuai stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth, his cheeks glistening with grease, and said, "These two have been in this state for many years, no one has ever broken it, it’s true they only have eyes for each other, they won’t give up until one wins or loses."

Spurt...

Laughter rang out.

Longhuai glanced at the snickering Rabbit and said, "Rabbit, you don’t believe it?"

Qin Shou pouted and said, "These two old geezers, forget themselves? Don’t make me laugh!"

Longhuai insisted, "The master is indeed so!"

Clang!

Qin Shou brought out a large wine jar and placed it on the table, laughing as he said, "Three!"

Perplexed, Longhuai asked, "What three?"

Ignoring him, Qin Shou continued, "Two!"

Longhuai was puzzled.

Qin Shou said, "One!"

In the midst of speaking, Qin Shou popped the clay seal!

Instantly, Longhuai turned to look at his own master and Master Lu; the two were still locked in a gaze.

Jiucai burst into laughter and said, "Rabbit, that won’t do!"

Li Zhenying also nodded in agreement.

Chongba, while wiping his turtle shell, said, "Rabbit, that trick isn’t very effective."

Mutou nodded along, indicating agreement.

Qin Shou chuckled, picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Don’t rush, let the aroma of the wine linger awhile."

Everyone looked bewildered...

Doubtfully, Longhuai asked, "Can this really work?"

Before his words had finished, they felt two originally showy but restrained auras suddenly explode in the distance!

Two powerful forces, like twin tornadoes, collided with each other! Then, two streaks of light zoomed in and two hands appeared on the table. Then, the wine jar was swept up by a force and flew into the air!

Immediately after, two figures soared up into the sky!

One was clad in green, gliding with boundless sword energy;

The other wielded a giant axe that could cleave through the heavens with one strike.

In the middle, a jar of wine flew back and forth, weaving through the air! Each time it passed the wine jar, the forces that seemed capable of collapsing the heavens and earth would dissipate like a gentle breeze, without harming the wine jar in the slightest!

"Is it really that serious? It’s just a jar of wine, right?" Jiucai asked, clearly perplexed.

Looking at the scene, Longhuai was indeed stunned, then he sighed and said, "You don’t understand... If it were any other wine, although they might like it, they wouldn’t go this far. But this jar of wine is different..."

Chongba complained, "The biggest difference I see is that we’re left without any wine to drink."

Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "No problem, they can fight over it, we’ll drink ours."

Qin Shou then took out four jars of fine wine, poured a bowl for each, but nobody drank. They were all looking at Longhuai, clearly wanting to hear the story of the wine that made two Immortals fight from his mouth.

But Longhuai stopped speaking, shook his head and sighed, "It’s better left unsaid. Anyway, this wine..."

"What’s all this about wine or no wine? If it’s a secret, then let’s not pry. For brotherhood’s sake, let’s have a drink first!" Just then, Rabbit suddenly raised his bowl and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Longhuai felt relieved. He was actually worried that everyone would press for answers to the bitter end, which would complicate matters. He also silently reminded himself: Don’t talk too much!

So, Longhuai raised his bowl and said, "Well said, drink up!"

The others also lifted their bowls and echoed, "Drink up!"

With a big bowl of wine entering his mouth, Qin Shou immediately realized this wine was different!

The wine tasted refreshing, with a trace of boldness, but after swallowing, it turned fiery hot, surging down his throat and burning all the way to his stomach like waves of flames, leaving him in a panic!

Yet it wasn’t unbearably uncomfortable; on the contrary, it brought a warm feeling, a boiling of blood, making one want to howl at the sky and belt out a loud cry!

Qin Shou was initially thinking of holding back, but Longhuai couldn’t contain himself and let out a long howl to the sky!

Qin Shou felt a resonance stirring within him and followed with a long howl of his own!

At the same time, Qin Shou felt that the boisterousness in the drink, when shouted out, was not just high spirits but a depressive energy!

This energy did not originate from within himself but from the wine!

The wine was not a soother of worries; it was instead presenting sorrows...

Qin Shou had a sudden realization; this wasn’t the wine he and Master Lu had drunk yesterday!

Qin Shou quickly examined the wine jar in his hand, and that’s when he noticed — this wasn’t Heavenly Brew but instead — Gungun Red Dust!

Qin Shou frowned and subconsciously muttered aloud, "Gungun Red Dust..."

Jiucai, Li Zhenying, Chongba, and Mutou, hearing this, all turned their attention and looked at Longhuai.

Jiucai asked, "Is there a story behind this Red Dust?"

Longhuai shook his head and said, "I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not what you imagine. This story is bloody... it’s better left untold. Stop asking, no matter how much you do, I won’t tell."
