42: I don't want to drink, but I want to become your official disciple.

"Drink wine?"

"Yes, the wine I brew, and I'm not boasting, even an Immortal King might not get to drink it!"

"Could you be the Immortal Master of Demonic Brew!?"

Li Fei's handsome face showed deep surprise.

"Yes, yes, yes."

The Immortal Master of Demonic Brew had no airs in front of him, and hurriedly took out a jar of wine, muttering, "This pot is a fine wine that this Immortal Venerable has secretly brewed for a thousand years. It was originally called 'Drunk on Life and Dreams of Death', but recently I found too many things are named that, so I changed its name to 'eternal tears'."

"After drinking it, you can not only recover all your memories, but even the memories of your previous life... if you have one. It just has a small problem right now; after drinking it, you'll be drunk for a while. During this time, you can't think, and can only speak the truth from your heart..."

"How about it! Do you dare to drink?"

"If you dare, I'll consider taking you as my registered disciple! You should know, I never take disciples."

What?

After drinking the wine, the Immortal Venerable will consider taking me as a registered disciple?

Li Fei was still immersed in the sudden huge surprise, unable to extricate himself.

But the people from the various forces below exploded into an uproar!

"Just drinking wine can make you an Immortal Venerable's disciple? Heavens!!"

"The Immortal Master of Demonic Brew never takes disciples. If Li Fei can really become his registered disciple, then the Li Family will completely soar!"

"That's right, if they really latch onto the Immortal Venerable's leg, then even people from the Three Great Immortal Dynasties would have to be polite to them!"

"Moreover, the Tianji Restaurant has such strong intelligence capabilities, who would dare to offend them!"

"Quick, quick! Notify the patriarch! The Li Family is about to rise!!"

"......"

In a private room on the second floor of a certain inn.

Qin Ruoruo, whose voluptuous and delicate body was wrapped in a pure white long veil, leaned against the windowsill, supporting her chin with her crossed hands, gazing slightly in a daze at the fifth floor of the restaurant.

She had a pair of fluffy fox ears on her head, with bright golden fur, appearing even softer and more beautiful under the sunlight.

Her slender, beautiful legs, full of life, were casually placed on the couch, and several gauze ribbons on her skirt wrapped around her beautiful legs like snakes, finally slipping down from between her delicate white feet and dangling in mid-air.

"Miss, this Li Fei is really lucky."

An old woman was also standing by the couch.

This old woman had a head of silver hair and a pair of extremely standard squinting eyes, as if she couldn't open them.

"However, if he is truly the nameless hero who saved you back then, then he deserves such good luck."

"Mmm..."

Qin Ruoruo nodded gently, her tone weak, "From the information I just bought in the restaurant, Li Fei is very likely the person who saved me back then."

"It's a pity I didn't see his appearance clearly at the time, so I can't be 100% sure if it's him..."

"Don't worry, Miss. Once he drinks that truth serum wine, I'll send someone to ask, and then won't the truth be revealed?"

"Mmm..."

Qin Ruoruo nodded, turned back, and showed an extremely sweet smile to the silver-haired old woman, "Granny Liu, you are so kind."

"It is my honor to serve Miss."

The silver-haired old woman squinted her eyes, her face full of an aunt-like smile.

Miss is really too cute.

And right next door.

In front of Lin Sheng, the system message also immediately appeared.

[Life Choice Triggered!]

[The Immortal Master of Demonic Brew invites you to drink his "eternal tears", secretly brewed for a thousand years, and claims he will consider taking you as a disciple if you drink it. So you decide—]

[A: Drink! Can't wait to become an Immortal Venerable's disciple.]

[B: Only consider after drinking? And just registered? Don't drink!]

[C: The Immortal Venerable would actually make an exception for me? Then I should push my luck and try not drinking to see how far he can make an exception for me!]

[D: Don't dwell on whether to drink or not, ignore him.]

Looking at the options, Lin Sheng's eyes showed contemplation.

The reason the Immortal Master of Demonic Brew made an exception for Li Fei was because Li Fei was exceptionally similar to his deceased close friend from a hundred thousand years ago; the original work even described it as "almost identical".

Therefore, the Immortal Master of Demonic Brew made an exception and entertained the thought of taking him as a disciple.

But that was all.

Because the Immortal Master of Demonic Brew himself knew that this was truly just a physical resemblance; the other person was not his close friend, nor his close friend's reincarnation......

C!

Lin Sheng made his decision.

He didn't look at the light screen in front of him because he was right next to the scene, so he directly turned his head to look at the Tianji Restaurant.

Upstairs.

Facing the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd below, Li Fei reached out and took the jar of wine, then took a deep breath.

"Drink quickly, drink quickly, drink quickly......"

Li Yuan, the Li Family steward who had come with Li Fei this time, kept muttering softly to himself.

Just now, he had already sent this message to the patriarch. If nothing unexpected happened, the patriarch should arrive soon.

"I..."

The crowd fell silent, listening to Li Fei speak from above—as one of the services for spreading information, the fifth floor had its own sound amplification spiritual tools, ensuring that what the person above said could be heard clearly throughout the island.

"I..."

After a moment of hesitation, Li Fei finally spoke, "I neither want to drink this wine that makes me speak the truth, nor do I want to become your disciple, Immortal Venerable. Could you see if that's possible?"

Could you see... if that's possible??

After he finished speaking, the people on the island looked at each other in astonishment, as if they had heard something audacious that went against their ancestors.

"What!? I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"He's bargaining with the Immortal Venerable? How dare he!"

"I heard Li Fei's actions are always unexpected; today I've seen it for myself!"

"Drinking the wine might make him an Immortal Venerable's disciple. It's hard to find such an opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step anywhere under the sky, yet he actually dares to make a request?"

"He actually doesn't dare to drink the wine? Could it be that he's hiding a secret in his heart that could ruin his reputation?"

"......"

[Collapse Value +40]

While everyone was greatly shocked, some people were also secretly gloating in their hearts.

Great!

If he messes up this opportunity, I can laugh for three days and three nights when I go back!

The Immortal Master of Demonic Brew frowned.

"You want to become my registered disciple, but you don't want to drink?"

"Strictly speaking, a formal disciple."

"Heh heh, I understand now. Not only do you not want to drink, but you also greedily want to directly become my formal disciple?"

"Yes."

Li Fei stared at the other person without blinking.

"I'll give you one chance. You can take back what you just said now."

"I won't!"

"Good!"

The Immortal Master of Demonic Brew laughed heartily and patted Li Fei's shoulders with a look of satisfaction, "It's been a long time since I met such a brave young person like you. Although a bit greedy, I don't dislike it."

"I promise you, as long as you drink this wine, I will consider letting you become my formal disciple!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

It can be like this?

However, before they could say anything, they saw Li Fei say something that shocked them even more.

"No!"

"I don't want to drink. I hope to unconditionally become your formal disciple without drinking the wine!"
