61: The Supreme Emperor Weapon: The Beginningless Bell

Cao Bu did not respond; he naturally picked up the wine cup in front of him.

Li Xinxue raised another cup and squinted, saying, "Come, little Bu, if you don't fall down after this cup, I, Li Xinxue, will acknowledge you as my big brother."

Cao Bu heard this, clinked his cup with hers, and immediately downed it in one gulp.

Afterward, he pretended to be unsteady, muttering, "Mm, good wine, good wine..."

Li Xinxue narrowed her eyes and rubbed them, feeling as if there were a dozen Cao Bus swaying before her: "Little Bu, have you passed out from drunkenness?"

"No, not drunk yet, it's your turn," Cao Bu said vaguely.

Hearing his voice, Li Xinxue was certain he wasn't drunk and asked suspiciously, "Impossible, surely you aren't drinking fake wine, are you?"

Cao Bu waved his hand: "How is that possible? How could I, Cao Bu, drink fake wine?"

【Ding! Detected that Li Xinxue's favorability towards the Host has greatly increased; inheritance rate increased by 1%.】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 1 draw opportunity.】

Cao Bu was secretly delighted; it really worked.

It seems he needs to interact more with other Elders, give some gifts to build favorability, and he should be able to increase the inheritance rate further.

However, based on the experience of the past month or so, increasing favorability only seems to raise it by 1%. To get the remaining 2% inheritance rate from the Elders, he would need to think of other methods.

"You're really not drunk? Then I'm drinking!" Li Xinxue dizzily picked up her wine cup and finished it in one gulp.

As soon as the wine went down, her body went limp, and she slumped onto the table, falling asleep without moving.

Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief; the Young Mistress should be able to sleep for ten days or half a month now.

She looked at Cao Bu, her tone carrying a hint of urgency: "Steward Cao, the Young Mistress is drunk; are you still able to walk?"

Cao Bu stood up unsteadily and stumbled toward the courtyard exit: "Rest assured, I am fine."

Xiaoya nodded, but suddenly realized something and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Steward Cao, you are going the wrong way; that is the Young Mistress's room!"

Cao Bu squinted his eyes and pointed ahead, asking: "Isn't the courtyard gate right here?"

"No, it isn't." Xiaoya helped him turn in the correct direction: "Steward Cao, just walk straight, and you will be out of the courtyard."

"Oh, this Steward has seen clearly now; this is the courtyard gate." Cao Bu said, stumbling as he walked out.

After confirming Cao Bu had left, Xiaoya quickly called two Maidservants to come in and help carry Li Xinxue back to her bedchamber.

Not long after Cao Bu walked out of Xiang Xiao Courtyard, he stopped, and the drunkenness on his face instantly vanished.

He concealed his Qi and quietly doubled back.

How could he miss such a good opportunity?

He hadn't had enough last time, so he had to make up for it this time no matter what.

Outside Li Xinxue's bedchamber, seeing that the Maidservants had all left, Cao Bu climbed in through the window.

He took out a Barrier Talisman and activated it, covering the entire room.

"I didn't have enough last time; this time, no matter what, I must play to my heart's content."

Cao Bu immediately walked toward the bedside.

But just as he got close, he received a slap to the face.

"Gu Yun! Don't touch me! Get away from me!" Li Xinxue shouted unconsciously with her eyes closed.

Cao Bu touched his swollen left cheek, his eyes instantly turning cold: "Fuck!"

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

He swung both hands, fiercely slapping Li Xinxue's soft, pink face; the sound of the slaps was exceptionally loud.

After finishing, Cao Bu looked at his tingling hand, so angry that he took out the rebirth brick and almost smashed it down, but he forcibly restrained himself.

"Good for you, Li Xinxue; for slapping me once, I'm adding an hour to the session!"

"Slap!"

Li Xinxue unconsciously slapped him again, shouting: "I want to kill you, Gu Yun."

Cao Bu touched his right cheek, which was also swollen, and his face turned completely black.

He put away the rebirth brick and cursed angrily: "Adding another two hours to the session!"

Four hours later, Cao Bu straightened his clothes and prepared to leave in a pleasant mood.

When he reached the window, he paused, turned back, and left a note in one spot: Meng Xian—was here.

Nine days later.

In the deep corridor leading to the underground secret room of Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard, Cao Bu didn't stop walking, silently reciting in his heart: "System, draw, five times."

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for drawing—supreme dao emperor weapon wushi bell.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for drawing—Reincarnation Divine Body Origin.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for drawing—Divine Ability Epiphany Card.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for drawing—Child of Luck Experience Card.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for drawing—ten catties of three drunken deep slumber brew.】

The System panel immediately popped up item descriptions:

wushi bell: A supreme dao emperor weapon that integrates offense and defense, requiring the power of Law to activate.

Reincarnation Divine Body Origin: After Fusion, it can significantly increase affinity with the Law of Reincarnation.

Divine Ability Epiphany Card: Allows entry into a state of Epiphany to comprehend Divine Ability runes and master a natal Divine Ability.

Child of Luck Experience Card: Experience period of half a year, effective immediately.

three drunken deep slumber brew: For any Realm below True Immortal, drinking one tael will cause one to sleep for three days; after waking, any serious injury can be fully healed.

Cao Bu's face showed slight joy; this draw was not bad.

However, he had already drawn a Divine Ability Designation Card before, and now he had obtained a Divine Ability Epiphany Card; did he need to designate it first and then have an Epiphany to fully master this Divine Ability?
