Hanyue stood up and pointed at the selection of foods, "These... did you make all of this?"
Qin Shou took out a jug of wine and poured two cups, saying, "Of course! Beautiful food, fine wine, lovely company— life's pleasures are boundless! Come, have a seat."
Hanyue swallowed hard and moved closer, lifted a cup to smell it, and said, "Is this the legendary wine?"
"Legendary? You've never had it before?" Qin Shou asked in surprise.
Hanyue shook her head, "Never. In the Nether River, there's only black lumps of meat to eat; everything else has long gone."
Having said that, Hanyue tilted her head back and took a large gulp, then smacked her lips and said, "Doesn't taste much different from water, does it?"
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Hanyue suddenly clutched at her throat, exclaiming, "Hot, so hot, what is this stuff? It's burning up!"
