Chapter 732 - 732 The Du Kang Wine
732 The Du Kang Wine
Even if he did not manage to condense a combat body, his physical body was still growing.
This change had always been suppressed by Li Xiang and had never been revealed. This would be a trump card at the critical moment.
If Li Xiang’s calculation was correct, for every 10,000 kilograms of weight added to his body, his height would also increase by 10 feet.
He thought that this was how it was. If he were to release his combat body now, his physical body could expand to a terrifying height of over 300 feet in an instant. This kind of body size wouldn’t affect one’s physical body. One could still unleash their strongest combat strength. On the other hand, the destructive power would be even more terrifying due to the size of the body.
Now, after eating the White Jade Tofu Pudding, his physical strength had increased by more than 10,000 Jin.
His overall strength instantly soared to a shocking level of 390,000 kilograms.
“And this one is called Heart-to-heart. Mr. Li, please have a taste!” Waiter Wang opened the third dish.
With a glance, he saw that there were pieces of internal organs that had been cut into the shape of hearts. It looked very bright and alluring, making people want to take a bite.
However, Li Xiang couldn’t help but think to himself, “What do you mean by ‘Heart-to-heart’? Is it good to let me eat leaves?”
Under the illusion, Li Xiang saw the so-called heart and liver, and his heart was in pain. The plate was full of red leaves that looked like hearts. Even the veins of the leaves could be seen.
It was fine for him to eat bugs, eyeballs, and brain matter, but now he was being asked to eat leaves. It was a little unexpected.
Dark cuisine literally used everything. Any material could be used as an ingredient.
Although he couldn’t understand it, he didn’t back down.
So what if he was asked to eat leaves? As long as it was delicious food, he would not retreat.
“As long as it’s a delicacy, I’ll eat even rocks! A mere leaf is nothing!”
Li Xiang picked up a red leaf and put it in his mouth.
“Eh?”
After tasting it, his eyes immediately lit up.
He thought that it would be dry and hard to swallow, but he didn’t expect the leaves to be so crunchy. He felt that some were crunchy, some were soft, and the leaves were thick. It was as if a flame had exploded in his mouth. An intense spiciness appeared in his taste buds. This spiciness had a wonderful texture, just like eating mala crayfish.
He couldn’t stop after eating the first leaf. One leaf, two leaves, three leaves, he ate all of them one by one naturally.
“Delicious! The food in your inn is indeed extraordinary! If there’s a chance, I must try it a few more times!” Li Xiang took a deep breath, looked at the empty plate in front of him, and couldn’t help but praise.
“However, such delicious food should be accompanied by good wine. Come, lady boss, have a taste of this newly-brewed Du Kang Wine.” Li Xiang’s tone changed, and he smiled as he reached out to slap away the mud mark on the wine jar.
He picked up two large bowls and poured the wine into each.
“Here you go!”
Li Xiang picked up a bowl of wine and gestured to Jin Xiangyu.
“I was just about to try this legendary Du Kang Wine.” Jin Xiang Yu’s eyes also showed a strong interest.
The Du Kang Wine was famous throughout the world. It was at least an indelible mark in the Huaxia civilization system. There were not many people who could taste the divine wine, not to mention the wine that Du Kang had personally brewed, which was even rarer.
Within the bowl, a rich aroma of wine naturally wafted through the air. Most importantly, this aroma formed a faint layer of wine mist above the bowl. That aroma was unbearable, and one could not help but want to immediately pour it into their mouth.
“Good wine! As expected of the Du Kang Wine. I’m already looking forward to it before I drink it. This is the best wine I’ve ever had. The wine could make people feel like they were in a dream, forgetting all their worries and giving birth to a feeling of extreme joy. No wonder there’s a saying in the world, ‘the only way to solve one’s worries is Du Kang’! This is indeed a divine wine. The original purpose of wine is to make one forget all worries!”
After Jin Xiangyu took a sip, her eyes were immediately closed. Her entire mind seemed to be in an indescribable state, and her mind was completely relaxed. It was an unprecedented experience.
That feeling was not a change in appearance, but a transformation in the heart. It was free, with no restraints, no obstacles, no burdens, or shackles.
When one was young, they were the most innocent and free. They didn’t need to think about anything. Childhood occupied the most important position in everyone’s memory. There was no need to fear or think. They just needed to enjoy the feeling of being free.
However, the older one grew, the more apprehensions one had. It was as if one’s heart was covered in layers of dust and sand, bound by rules. Children were not afraid, but adults were. The reason for their fear was because of various concerns.
However, Du Kang Wine could make people forget all kinds of worries, making the body and mind return to the innocence of childhood, unrestrained, and all worries disappear in the heart. This kind of feeling was exactly what many people could only hope for but not ask for.
This was also one of the reasons why Du Kang Wine was sought after by countless people.
Even though one still had to worry and face what one had to face after drinking it, it could make countless people pursue it for that moment of worriless.
Even Jin Xiangyu only came back to her senses after a long time, her face revealing a trace of emotion and reluctance.
The feeling of being carefree was simply too wonderful!
“In the world, fame is everything. The rarest thing is a moment of worriless. This is the charm of the Du Kang Wine.”
Li Xiang said with a smile. This wasn’t the first time he had drunk Du Kang Wine, but the wonderful feeling had also deeply fascinated him.
“Where did the wine fragrance come from? Good wine! The best wine! Waiter, you’ve gone too far. Why did you lie to me that there’s no such peerless wine in the inn? Hurry up and bring it over. I’ll pay for it. Take away all this horse piss!”
At this time, a roar suddenly came from downstairs.
“Sir, this is not our Dragon Inn’s wine. It was brought by an esteemed guest. Our inn has no right to give you our guest’s wine. This is against the rules. Our inn does not have such good wine. Although this Nv’er Hong is not an aged wine, it is still a wine brewed by a superior winemaker. It’s the best signature wine in the inn!”
Waiter Wang was already downstairs to persuade the guests.
When Li Xiang and Jin Xiangyu heard the argument below, they also looked over it.
On the first floor, there was a burly man who was about three meters tall. He was like a small giant. There were circles of iron chains wrapped around his body. On his back was a huge black iron flying wheel. The flywheel’s blade glowed with a cold light. It was extremely sharp, and there was even a dense blood aura circulating on it.
