111: drink wine

“So it wasn’t just for me! That’s a relief!”

Seeing this, Tang Mei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If it were solely for her, the intention would be too obvious.

“Revered Master, let me help you put it on!”

Noticing Tang Mei’s prolonged hesitation, Su Xuan volunteered.

“Ah… no… still…”

However, Su Xuan didn’t give Tang Mei a chance to refuse.

He picked up the bracelet and gently took Tang Mei’s hand.

Tang Mei felt a warm sensation emanate from her wrist, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

She instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but fearing she would spoil Su Xuan’s kind gesture, she could only feign composure, though a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

“It’s just putting on a bracelet, Tang Mei, what are you getting excited about? Can you stop overthinking! I think you’re truly going crazy from loneliness!”

“What do you mean, just putting on a bracelet! No normal person does that! Isn’t that something lovers do? I say, hurry up and win over Su Xuan, such a handsome man, it would be bad if someone else snatched him up!”

Tang Mei felt as if two little figures were fighting in her mind, making her very annoyed.

“Enough!”

Tang Mei suddenly shouted.

Su Xuan and Li Qiuyue immediately looked at her with confusion.

“Revered Master, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?”

Su Xuan lowered his head and said apologetically.

“Mother! What’s wrong! Why did you suddenly shout so loudly?”

Li Qiuyue was also a little displeased.

Tang Mei then realized her lapse in composure and quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I meant, Disciple, you’ve put it on very well, that’s enough. Your Revered Master has understood your intentions!”

Tang Mei’s flustered appearance made Su Xuan’s lips curve upwards. He knew that his teasing had already left Tang Mei flustered and confused.

Next, he just needed to keep enticing her.

Tang Mei was different from Su Yao. In Lin Fan’s story, Lin Fan, as the protagonist, had expressed his feelings to his cold and beautiful mother-in-law, Tang Mei.

However, even by the end, Lin Fan still hadn’t won over Tang Mei.

This indicated that it was impossible to win over Tang Mei using ordinary means, even strong ones wouldn’t work.

Therefore, Tang Mei had to come to him willingly. As long as Tang Mei reached her breaking point, that would be enough.

“So that’s what you meant, I misunderstood you, Revered Master!”

Su Xuan also seized the opportunity to give Tang Mei an out.

“Yes, exactly! Disciple, don’t overthink it, Revered Master wasn’t aiming at you just now!”

Tang Mei smiled slightly.

“As long as Revered Master isn’t angry, that’s good. This bracelet really suits you.”

He gently tightened the clasp of the bracelet, his fingertips lightly caressing Tang Mei’s wrist for a moment before slowly releasing it.

Tang Mei felt that slight touch like an electric current, instantly spreading throughout her body. She hastily hid her hand behind her back, her eyes somewhat evasive.

“Mother? What’s wrong? Why such a big reaction?”

Li Qiuyue was a little confused.

“Nothing, just my back is a bit itchy, I wanted to scratch it!”

Tang Mei casually made up an excuse.

“Revered Master, do you need my help?”

“No need, no need! I can handle this small matter myself as your Revered Master!”

Tang Mei refused.

“By the way, there are a few pots of fine wine here. Why don’t the three of us have a good drink?”

Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat subtle, Tang Mei quickly changed the subject.

“That’s a good idea! Speaking of which, I’ve grown so big, and I’ve never had a drink with you, Mother!”

Li Qiuyue agreed. Most importantly, she wanted to do something naughty to Su Xuan.

If she got Su Xuan drunk, and then tied him to her bed, wouldn’t he be at her mercy…

Just thinking about it, Li Qiuyue felt incredibly excited, so she readily agreed.

“Hehehe! My hateful husband, he disappeared for several days and even brought back another woman. I’ll teach him a lesson!”

Li Qiuyue smiled wickedly.

“I have no objections either!”

Su Xuan laughed, and then he purchased a skill called ‘Never Drunk’ from the System store.

As a good young man, Su Xuan had never touched alcohol or smoked in his previous life.

So, in order not to get drunk and feel nothing if something happened.

Therefore, Su Xuan bought this skill.

“Good, good, good! Then today, the three of us shall drink to our heart’s content!”

As the atmosphere returned to normal, Tang Mei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Arriving at Tang Mei’s residence, Tang Mei waved her hand, and the previous palace disappeared, transforming into a bamboo forest.

Within the bamboo forest, there was also a stone table. The scenery here was beautiful, and having a few drinks here had a different ambiance than other places.

“This is the existence of a Saint King! How magical. The small wooden house in the Tianwu Secret Realm must have also been made by a Saint King expert!”

Su Xuan thought to himself.

The three sat around the stone table. Tang Mei gently unsealed the wine pot Su Xuan had given her, and the rich aroma of wine instantly filled the air.

“What fragrant wine! Disciple, where did you get this from?”

Just smelling the wine, Tang Mei couldn’t help but swallow a few times. If she took a sip, wouldn’t it be…?

“This was given to me by the Yu Xiao Sect Revered Master. I specifically brought it to honor you, Revered Master!”

Su Xuan said.

“Good, good, good! You really are thoughtful!”

Tang Mei laughed.

Li Qiuyue, who was beside them, had already poured herself a cup. She had never drunk alcohol before and was very curious.

After one cup, Li Qiuyue felt a warm sensation in her heart, and her face flushed.

“Good… good wine!”

Li Qiuyue was already drunk. Clearly, she had underestimated the influence of alcohol on her.

“This girl, I was just about to tell her not to do that, really!”

Tang Mei sighed. She hadn’t expected her daughter to be so weak, collapsing after just one cup!

Now it was good; she had originally thought that three people wouldn’t be so awkward, but now it was just her and Su Xuan!

“Revered Master, I toast you!”

Su Xuan didn’t say much, directly downing his drink. After one cup of wine, Su Xuan’s expression remained unchanged.

“Good drinker!”

Tang Mei looked at him with approval. Her disciple seemed to have a very good tolerance for alcohol.

“You flatter me, Revered Master!”

With the ‘Never Drunk’ skill, Su Xuan felt like he was drinking plain water after a cup of wine.

You know, he felt nothing?

One must know, according to his Advanced Appraisal Skill, the wine Xiao Qianxuan gave him was a high-grade item called ‘Drunken Dreams of Life and Death’.

It was said that just this small cup was worth hundreds of Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

One sip was enough to make one feel as if they were in a drunken dream, and even a Saint King would linger after drinking it.

Seeing Su Xuan drink, Tang Mei also raised her cup and took a small sip. The pungent wine flowed down her throat, bringing a touch of warmth and dispelling some of the tension in her heart.

“Today, you and I, Revered Master and Disciple, shall drink to our heart’s content!”

Tang Mei said loudly.

“Drink to our heart’s content!”

Su Xuan also echoed.
