Listening at the side, Prince Long Fuzi realized where the problem lies.
"This good gentleman over there, I suppose this is your first time tasting wine. Is that right????"
"Yeah?????"
Mu Lingxi's expression started to turn weird as realization dawn at her.
"MEOW"
[This poor, ignoramus soul. I wonder how you were able to survive your two lifetimes in this cruel world.]
Janus can't help but shakes his head feeling sorry for his master.
"Shocks! Why is my common sense toward this world so blunt???!!! To the point that I'm starting to doubt myself. If I'm just being an innocent or I am literally dumb? Ahhhrrrgg!"
Mu Lingxi feels so frustrated as she berated herself. But no one can blame her. In her past life, she was already struggling to live her life.
She was technically living from paycheck to paycheck. That money that she earned from her several part-time jobs combine, were just enough to buy her food.
Much less spend more on drinking alcohol or some sort. She can't afford wasting money on insignificant things like that. That is why she has no idea how alcoholic beverages taste like.
Thinking that his comment might have offended the stranger in any way, Prince Long Fuzi diverted the topic to something else.
"We are truly grateful for your aid, mister. I believe that without your intervention, my young brother would have fall victim to those harpies. We cannot thank you enough."
Prince Long Fuzi extended his earnest gratitude towards his younger brother's savior. His smile was as warm as the summer breeze.
He sure knows how to incorporate his good looks with every word he said. Right now, he was akin to a sun, radiating nothing but warmness and comfort.
He looks so dashing by just standing there, with the rays of light coming from the sun serving as the perfect backdraft.
"MEOW"
[ Little lass, you can close your mouth now. There is no point gaping over the man you suppose to marry but you ran off instead.
Don't forget that you should be acting like a man right now. It won't help if others think that you are bisexual or gay. No offense meant, but you suppose to be a straight man according to the script.]
Janus kindly reminded Mu Lingxi who looks as if she has been love struck for the second time around.
"Oh, yeah sure! No worries. I--I-I mean... You're welcome."
Mu Lingxi said stammering when she finally recovered.
"oh, look... It works!"
The bubbly Prince Long Yue blurted out all of the sudden. He casually stroke Mu Lingxi's forearm that used to have a glaring wound.
It was also his first time seeing the effect of the HEAVENLY WINE in person. The result was really stunning.
One minute, the wound was still glaring and blood was continuously gushing out from it. But the moment Mu Lingxi drank the wine, it did not take long for the wound to vanish, leaving no trace. Not even a small scar was left!
It was as if the wound was nothing but part of their wild imagination. Yet the blood-soak dress of Mu Lingxi was enough to remind them that everything that happens was real.
Being playful and childish in nature, Prince Long Yue continue to admire the end result of the HEAVENLY WINE.
He earnestly observes Mu Lingxi's forearm in amazement. He was not even satisfied so he tries to poke the skin that used to be bleeding.
Prince Long Yue did not mind his action towards Mu Lingxi. After all, he thought that the stranger opposite him was a man as well. So he doesn't find his action of anything malicious.
Being the elder brother, Prince Long Fuzi felt embarrassed for his younger brother's behavior instead.
He casually hooks his right arm to Prince Long Yue's neck trying to drag him away.
"Oh by the way... I haven't got your name. As my savior, I should have at least know your name. So that I can repay you in the future.
My name is Long Yue, and this over here is my elder brother, Long Fuzi. We are from the kingdom of Long. You are?????"
"Shook! Who am I?!!!!!!"
Mu Lingxi nervously thought to herself. She has not yet thought of the identity that she will be going to portray. Much less of a name!
