"I wonder what made Mingyan so interested in those treasures..."
Lai Mingjie sat with Shui Bingbing in the pantry, both drinking from the unassuming jug that contained liters of Heaven's wine. They kept on filling up their cups as if they were day drinking into the night. The only difference was that they would never go drunk from it.
Shui Bingbing hummed and tilted her head to the side. "It's probably because they're treasures of the old world? I mean, he's the incoming Emperor, and yet he knew too little of the old world. Maybe he finds some kind of connection from those treasures…
"Or that he just wanted them like how Shanxue looted every imperial family that didn't survive your reign..."
Lai Mingjie eyed at the cat demon and then made big gulps of the wine. By then, they heard Bu Shanling talk with the boys through their very acute hearing. It's just that when Lai Mingyan laid out his terms, Lai Mingjie choked on his wine—just like Shui Bingbing.
