Chapter 1567: Chapter 1389: A Stormy Night in Jianghu
Over here, Xia Dabao still felt utterly bored.
Axian had not yet awakened, and Yun Xiao still could not produce even a fart after half a day. She wanted to join the excitement outside but did not feel at ease leaving Axian alone here; moreover, Yun Xiao forbade her from stepping even half a step away.
Xia Dabao had no choice but to continue eating, her stomach already uncomfortably full.
Just when she was bored out of her mind, another person arrived outside the pavilion, again a lady. Xia Dabao briefly sized up the newcomer, only to find that she was even more beautiful than Xuan Nu. If Xuan Nu was a beauty that could ruin a kingdom, then this lady was like a Goddess descended from the heavens, full of immortal aura and extremely seductive, appearing very noble as well.
Even as a woman herself, the sight of such a beauty stirred her emotions. She wondered how Yun Xiao would react.
Could she be here to persuade him to drink?
To bring out such a beauty to persuade Yun Xiao to drink, wasn’t that holding him in too high regard? After all, Yun Xiao could get drunk on just a single sip of wine.
Alas, the method did not seem quite on point.
After the Goddess arrived, she did not speak to Yun Xiao immediately but sat down next to Xia Dabao. With a wave of her sleeves, she exuded an aura capable of toppling all beings, making the fairly good-looking Xia Dabao feel overshadowed at that moment.
“Lady Dabao, I am the little Goddess of the Moon Heart Tribe. You are a hero of our Southern Zhao Nation. I have been watching you from the other side for quite a while and feel that you exhibit a refreshing simplicity, which makes me feel very compatible with you. Thus, I have brought some Pear Blossom Drunk, specially brewed by our Moon Heart Tribe. This drink is a bit sweet, and it won’t get you drunk. What do you say, would you honor me by trying some?” said the little Goddess.
Just as Xia Dabao was observing the Poisonous Insect Battle Conference out of boredom, she naturally noticed the beautiful ladies of the Moon Heart Tribe, but when had this little Goddess seen her?
Even if she had noticed, it was probably because of her unique status, right?
Where was the compatibility she mentioned?
It was clearly aimed at Yun Xiao, who was known for his poor alcohol tolerance in the Southern Zhao Nation and his particular fondness for drinking. Here the Goddess came, insisting on bringing wine, wasn’t this a deliberate seduction?
But Xia Dabao was indeed bored, so she laughed and said, “To say I would be honoring you is too flattering. However, I can certainly try your Pear Blossom Drunk.”
The little Goddess poured a cup of the Pear Blossom Drunk for Xia Dabao. Just as she was about to drink, Yun Xiao promptly stopped her, “Do you know what’s inside? How can you drink so carelessly? What if it’s poison?”
“Poison?” thought Xia Dabao. Surely these people wouldn’t dare to brazenly use poison here, right? The Clan Chief of the Red Dawn Tribe was still present. If they poisoned her, wouldn’t that destroy the friendly relations between the tribes?
“If you don’t want to die, then don’t drink it,” Yun Xiao said.
“Little Goddess, I’m so scared. Yun Xiao doesn’t allow me to drink this wine… It’s better I give it back to you,” Xia Dabao feigned a frightened demeanor.
Only then did the little Goddess seem to have noticed Yun Xiao, “Oh, isn’t this Left Envoy Yun? You’re being too serious. How could I put poison in the wine? If you don’t believe me, I’ll drink a cup now, and we’ll see whether it’s poisoned or not.”
The little Goddess drank in front of Yun Xiao, but he coldly retorted, “If you were willing to poison, naturally you’d have an antidote.”
“…” The little Goddess was stunned, clearly irritated inside, but she kept her composure and said, “Left Envoy Yun, you seem to be underestimating me. I often hear that the Left Envoy Yun of the Red Dawn Tribe is the smartest and most magnanimous. Why does it seem different from what I’ve imagined now?”
