WYFSDLG Chapter 27.2

Thinking of the sword that smashed the Main Hall of Xiān Gōng Sect from thousands of miles away for no apparent reason, and the fact that Bai Ruolin was also there, Qing Luo became more and more sure about one thing.

 

Maybe other rumours were just as true. Maybe that Lord Mu was not as upright and decent as he seemed on the surface either.

 

Although Feng Qingyun didn’t say anything clearly, he obviously carried a blood deed engraved in his bones, coming to their fox clan to look for a cure. As to who the master of that blood deed was, it was really… As plain as day.

 

If that was the case, when the blood deed dissolved and the whole cultivation world found out about it, Qing Luo was afraid the Righteous Path was about to receive a blow they could never recover from.

 

However, it had nothing to do with him or his clan. The fox patriarch showed not a single trace of doubt on his face, only taking his guests to rest.

 

When night fell, the Fairy Wine Festival officially began.

 

Feng Qingyun was coaxed by Long Yin to change into a light gold and pink robe. Just as usual, he had no clue how the Demon Lord managed to pull exquisite clothes out of thin air.

 

The palace they were assigned to was different from where Bai Ruolin lived so, by the time they arrived, the little girl was already surrounded by several little foxes, sitting in the busiest place.

 

In the end, they found a secluded place to enjoy the banquet. As the name implies, the Fairy Wine Festival was a celebration of wine and joy. In his previous life, Feng Qingyun was also invited to participate several times, but because he was not good at drinking, he only went to be a bystander.

 

However, this time around he got a drinking invitation from the fox master himself, so there was no way to escape it.

 

After nightfall, there were no candles to illuminate the festival, but countless fireflies floated around as lights. The participants were warned not to hurt them, or even worse, take them away…

 

It’s just that for some, the warning was obviously just a simple piece of advice.

 

Long Yin reluctantly let go of seven or eight flustered fireflies, saying: “I just wanted to bring a few back… It seems like fun~”

 

“…I don’t need it!”, Feng Qingyun pressed his wrist and warned. “Be an honest man and don’t steal anything!”

 

Long Yin looked at him without saying a word. In the night, the fireflies glimmered like starlight in his eyes, making Feng Qingyun fall into a stupor. However, he did not look away. The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. A moment later, Long Yin suddenly said: “If I’m not an honest man, would the Little Palace Master treat me differently?”

 

“Don’t forget that you live with me every day. Should you really doubt my honesty, Little Rose?”

 

As soon as he heard that nickname, Feng Qingyun became annoyed and angry, throwing the cup of fruit tea he was holding directly on his face. The dignified Demon Lord was naturally splashed. Among Feng Qingyun’s vivid anger and Long Yin’s undisguised intentions, the Fairy Wine Festival officially began.

 

Snake demons acting like waiters kept coming and going, holding leaf platters under the joyful accompaniment of fairy music. The first wine batch was naturally reserved for the guests and Long Yin did not refuse it, naturally accepting a platter that was full of small and delicate cups.

 

However, Feng Qingyun was dazed by the various options, saying: “I can’t drink that much. I’ll only take a cup.”

 

“I’m afraid a single cup won’t do. The liquor for the Fairy Wine Festival is served on a platter, especially made for guests to enjoy.” When the snake waiter heard his refusal, he immediately continued: “The fox patriarch said to drink all the cups, have a good dream, and all Your Highness’s troubles will be solved.”

 

Feng Qingyun was stunned, suddenly understanding the meaning of those words.

 

Qing Luo was indeed planning to solve his problem by using the fox clan’s art of illusions.

 

However, as the most basic and lowest-level trick in the foxes’ arsenal, hooking a cultivator of his level was extremely difficult. Even if he fully cooperated, it was still hard to fool his divine consciousness enough to embrace the illusion completely…

 

So, at present, getting drunk is indeed the fastest way to solve his problem.

 

Feng Qingyun hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still thanked the waiter, taking the leaf platter in his arms. The wine was the best fruit wine available in the Demon World, with a mellow fragrance that instantly pervaded. But Feng Qingyun still looked down at the little cups in front of him, not taking the next step. For a moment, he was even hesitant.

 

… He never got completely drunk before, so he had no idea how he would react.

 

“Just drink it.” Long Yin saw the staggering at the bottom of his heart, continuing: “Look at me… This Lord is already drunk. What are you afraid of?”

 

Feng Qingyun recovered slightly, but still whispered: “…I’m not as loose as you.”

 

“What are you saying?” Long Yin raised his eyebrows and asked. “I’m an upright gentleman, don’t you believe me?”

 

Feng Qingyun: “…”

 

He was afraid that there was more than one different character in the words “gentleman” and “Long Yin”.

 

But the fox master opened his mouth, so he had to give him face. Also, the urgent matter of his blood deed needed to be solved quickly, so pretending to be coy didn’t help.

 

Finally, Feng Qingyun drank one of the wine cups. The aroma was sweet and silky, and the taste was very light, only leaving a vague fragrance between his lips.

 

However, a few little cups later, the wine slowly climbed to his head. Feng Qingyun looked in the distance as Bai Ruolin was playing with a couple of fox girls. Suddenly, he remembered that little episode from his previous life, when one of Mu Hanyang’s friends seemed to get drunk at the Fairy Wine Festival, trying to force himself on a fox girl.

 

What happened after that… Mu Hanyang seemed to take that cultivator back to the Xiān Gōng Sect, accompanied by a rather beautiful young boy in red robes… As for the names of those people, he could no longer remember them.

 

But the fact that he was forced to break one of his vines to save some abusive drunkard was still vivid in his mind, as vivid as the pain he felt that day. And yet, it was a memory that seemed to belong to another world.

 

No, he shouldn’t think about that…

 

Feng Qingyun was stunned, realizing that everything felt like it happened a lifetime ago. After his rebirth, the only injury he sustained was stabbing his hand with his sword to regain clarity. Completely different from the situation of breaking his vines and buds at any time, like he did in his previous life.

 

Holding one empty wine cup that magically turned into a full one, Feng Qingyun turned his head under the dim light, looking at the man who never failed to accompany him. Suddenly, he had an impulse and blurted out: “…Long Yin.”

 

That man had been looking at him without blinking for a long time. Hearing his name, he asked with a smile: “What’s wrong?”

 

…Of course, he was eager to respond to whatever Feng Qingyun wanted.

 

“No, I’m sorry…” I called on you without thinking.

 

Feng Qingyun lowered his eyes to cover the last half of his sentence. Then, he turned around and demanded: “Give me your wine cup. The fruit wine they gave me is not strong enough, so getting drunk will take a long time.”

 

As if… It was clear that he was already drunk, otherwise, he would have never asked to exchange wine cups. Seeing his seemingly serious look, Long Yin laughed, deliberately handing his wine cup to him with some kind of obscure thoughts in his head: “No need to ask. Whatever you want to drink, it’s all yours.”

 

Feng Qingyun took a big sip of the wine in his hands, completely unprepared. Instantly, the stimulating aroma of wine exploded in his mouth, forcing him to swallow it unconsciously.

 

Countless white lights flashed in front of his eyes and for a second, Feng Qingyun couldn’t understand how a human could even be able to drink that. And yet… The taste was almost magical or at least… Magical enough to compel him to lick the rim of the cup with the tip of his tongue.

 

Long Yin stared at that red tongue with obscure eyes, not saying anything for a long time.

 

To maintain clarity while cultivating the sword, most cultivators never touched alcohol. And of course, that was even more valid for those who belonged to the Righteous Path. But there were always exceptions. For example, Mu Hanyang often socialised with friends, so drinking couldn’t be avoided.

 

On the other side of the banquet, Bai Ruolin was coaxed by some fox sisters to drink until her face turned red. A couple of sips later, she actually fell asleep on the table, making everyone laugh. The fox girls have never met someone so pure so, after making sure she was just asleep and not sick, they covered her with their fox tails, keeping Bai Ruolin warm while they continued to have fun.

 

As a senior brother, Feng Qingyun should be stronger than his sister, but obviously, his resistance to alcohol was just as bad. After being half-coaxed and half-deceived by Long Yin into drinking yet another cup of wine, he started looking straight ahead in a daze, completely out of it.

 

Long Yin took a sip of wine and said: “Little Rose.”

 

“…?”

 

Feng Qingyun raised his eyes, slightly confused. However, Long Yin only repeated: “Little Rose.”

 

This time around, Feng Qingyun frowned slightly and said: “…Don’t yell at me.”

 

“You don’t like it?”

 

“I’m sorry.” Feng Qingyun shook his head, but didn’t say whether he liked it or not. Feeling a little dizzy, he wanted to touch the fruits on the table, planning to eat some. Long Yin quickly came forward, feeding him an already peeled lychee. After that, he coaxed: “Say thank you, my Dragon God.”

 

“You’re annoying!” Feng Qingyun frowned and pushed him away. However, after a while, he actually whispered: “…Thank you, my Dragon God.”

 

Such a defenseless, easy-to-fool look made Long Yin suddenly stop his movements. In the night, he quietly looked at Feng Qingyun but, just as his brain started to flood with bad water, Feng Qingyun swallowed the lychee and asked with confusion: “Have I… Taken in any essence today?”

 

Oh well, would you look at that… A couple of moments ago, the Demon Lord would have dared to swear on Heaven itself that he was a true gentleman but now… After coming back to his senses, he immediately said without changing his face: “Not yet.”

 

Feng Qingyun paused, blankly looking at the noisy and warm celebration around him. Realizing it was already night, he suddenly frowned, acting as if he had discovered a big problem. As for the Demon Lord, he gently surrounded them with his demonic Qi, blocking all the curious eyes that were watching their every move. After making sure it was safe, he deliberately said: “Look, it’s already nighttime. If you don’t feed soon and that damned blood deed starts acting up, we might end up making trouble here, in the fox territory.”

 

Of course, the drunk Feng Qingyun was easily deceived by the words that sounded righteous. Answering in a daze, he looked up and clumsily kissed Long Yin.

 

But even if his brain was dull at the moment, he still remembered he was in someone else’s territory, with countless eyes watching them in the dark. That kind of unwarranted speculation made his scalp tingle with shame, unwilling to open his eyes. In the end, Feng Qingyun kissed randomly, trying to hook Long Yin’s essence at the maximum speed.

 

Under the influence of drunkenness, his already poor skills returned straight to the original point, making him less proficient in feeding than ever before. Anxious and ashamed, Feng Qingyun started messing around, not even caring when his robes were pulled open. Like a sticky cat demon, he hooked Long Yin’s neck and kissed him, blindly licking his lips.

 

In the end, the hot and soft tongue with the fragrance of wine finally hooked away what turned out to be… That day’s second feeding.

 

If it were any other prey, they could only obediently go and reincarnate that night, completely drained of essence. However, Long Yin was not only powerful, but also… Already used to being sucked dry.

 

It’s just that the thought still crossed his mind for a brief second. If he didn’t pay attention while coaxing his beauty, even the slightest mistake could lead to him actually becoming fertiliser for his rose.

 

So from that perspective, it was difficult to say who took advantage of whom.

 

After they separated, Feng Qingyun took a sip of wine, trying to pretend that nothing out of the ordinary had happened. However, his personality was just like that, easily embarrassed but also regretful over his tendency to turn to anger when ashamed.

 

In the end, he could only make a shocking remark under the increasing effect of the alcohol.

 

“After I finish blooming… I thought about how to thank you…”, he said while looking at the moon in a daze.

 

Long Yin peeled another lychee and fed it to him. After that, he whispered: “Care to share it with this Lord?”

 

Feng Qingyun pursed his lips, finally withdrawing his eyes from the moon and placing them on the man in front of him. “For a flower demon, their essence is concentrated in the nectar their flowers produce,” he started. “I decided that… After I finally bloom, I’ll brew my nectar into wine and give it to you… As a thank you.”

 

As soon as those words left his mouth, Long Yin’s breathing stagnated. Looking at Feng Qingyun with a slightly stupid gaze, he suddenly wondered whether the drunk little rose knew what he was saying.

 

But in the end, the bad wolf chose not to warn him. After his gaze turned from stupid to dangerous and meaningful, the Demon Emperor took advantage of the drunk beauty, bowing his head to kiss him once more.

 

“Okay, then I’ll drink your wine,” Long Yin said. “Little Palace Master, don’t break your promise.”
