Before long, Ling Feng had transformed the vegetables Liu Rusi bought into a table full of delicious dishes.
Liu Rusi picked up a piece of food and chewed on it, quickly grabbing more. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, and she beamed with joy. "So tasty, so tasty!"
If Ling Feng could see her affection level, it would probably show as…
Affection Level +1
Affection Level +1
Affection Level +2
During the meal, Liu Rusi took out a jar of wine, sipping as she enjoyed the food. Ling Feng watched the wine jar with curiosity.
He had yet to try any wine from this world.
"Want to try?" Liu Rusi smiled gently.
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."
"Haha, you little rascal, you're not even fully grown yet, and you want to learn how to drink? Well… just a small sip then."
Liu Rusi poured him a half bowl.
Ling Feng took it, his face slightly reddening.
This bowl seemed to have been used by Master just moments ago.
If he used it, would that count as an indirect kiss?
Seeing the faint lip mark on the rim, he changed his position and took a small sip. To his surprise, it wasn't as spicy as he had imagined. Instead, it had a strong fruity aroma.
It was more like the fruit wine he often drank in his previous life.
[Ding! Detected that the host is brave enough to try. For your first drink, the host is rewarded with the talent: Thousand Cups Without Getting Drunk! When it comes to drinking, I recognize the host as the strongest!]
Thousand cups without getting drunk…
Ling Feng looked at the wine jar in Liu Rusi's hand with fiery eyes.
"Oh, look at this, a natural drinker," Liu Rusi laughed, pouring him a large bowl.
This time, Ling Feng wasn't polite.
He gulped down the wine in a few swigs.
Then he looked at Liu Rusi, his face clearly showing two words…
Pour wine!
Liu Rusi raised an eyebrow. "The Hundred Fruit Brew from Tianquan Mountain isn't really strong liquor, but this little guy has downed a big bowl on his first try, and he's not even flushed. Could he really be a natural wine lover?!"
She found Ling Feng more and more to her liking.
"Good!"
"Let's drink to our heart's content today, Master and disciple!!"
Liu Rusi took out another jar of wine.
They each grabbed a jar.
The two of them drank and ate together.
When the food was gone, they continued to down the wine.
The more Liu Rusi drank, the more spirited she became. Looking at Ling Feng, she felt a competitive spirit arise. "After drinking for over a decade, if I can't drink more than a kid trying alcohol for the first time, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?!"
One jar, two jars, three jars…
Soon, the table was covered with five or six jars of wine.
"Liu Junior Sister, how is your relationship with your disciple going?"
At this moment, the head of Baiyun Sect, along with several others, came to check on Ling Feng's situation.
As soon as the door opened, they saw the two engaged in a drinking competition.
Ling Feng was holding a wine jar bigger than his head and drinking deeply.
Seeing this scene, the group was taken aback.
The head of Baiyun Sect immediately exploded in anger. "Nonsense!!"
Liu Rusi noticed their arrival and placed the jar on the table, completely ignoring Baiyun Sect's leader's furious expression. She smiled, "Oh, it's the senior brothers and sisters! Perfect timing, would you like to join us for a drink?"
"Liu Rusi!"
"Behave yourself!" Baiyun Sect's leader pressed down his anger and said, "Ling Feng is still a child. How can you have a child drinking with you? This is outrageous! What if something happens after drinking?"
"Isn't he a Martial Dao Saint Body? How could he easily have any problems?"
"No matter what, your behavior shows no sense of being a teacher. How can I trust you to take care of Ling Feng?"
"Well, then just take him back. After all, he was pushed onto me by you all."
Liu Rusi shrugged her shoulders, showing a careless attitude.
"Master! I told you that letting Liu Rusi guide this kid would definitely lead to problems. We can't let Ling Feng fall under her influence."
"Exactly! Hand Ling Feng over to me; I'll teach him well."
"Give him to me! I promise to share everything I know."
The elders scrambled to claim Ling Feng as their disciple.
Liu Rusi watched, rolling her eyes.
Although she didn't show it on the surface, she felt a twinge of discomfort in her heart.
"None of you deserve to be the teacher of a Martial Dao Saint Body!"
She couldn't help but mock.
The elders shot her an angry glare.
"No matter what, it's better than you getting Ling Feng drunk."
"Ling Feng, are you alright? Feeling dizzy or anything?"
At this moment, an elder walked over to Ling Feng with a concerned expression.
With the talent of Thousand Cups Without Getting Drunk, Ling Feng was only a little red-faced, but otherwise fine and very clear-headed.
He clasped his hands together. "Master, respected elders, you've misunderstood my Master. It's not her that's getting me drunk; it's my own curiosity that made me want to drink."
"Ai, what a good child. Even at this point, he's still defending his master, preserving her reputation."
"Yeah, Liu Rusi, look at yourself, then look at Ling Feng. Don't you feel even a bit ashamed?"
The elders didn't believe Ling Feng's words at all.
Instead, they felt increasingly sorry for the child, thinking he must have suffered a lot from a young age to be so mature and understand the world so well.
"Bah…"
Liu Rusi rolled her eyes, uninterested in defending herself.
"Everyone, I'm telling the truth. It's really not Master's fault. It's me who wanted to drink. Also, Master has been very dedicated to me. Today, she even taught me a sword technique that I can demonstrate for you."
Ling Feng hurriedly explained.
The elders exchanged glances.
Could it really be true?
"What sword technique did Liu Junior Sister teach you?"
"The Carefree Sword Technique."
Ling Feng replied, then went outside, picked up a branch, and began to practice.
Under the moonlight, Ling Feng held the branch like a sword, swinging it freely. The sword shadows danced, making him look like a celestial being descending from the moon, captivating those who watched.
"Goodness! He actually made such progress in just a day?!"
"This Carefree Sword Technique is a top-tier martial art. Ordinary people wouldn't reach this level without seven or eight years of training!"
"Even for a Martial Dao Saint Body, this is quite exaggerated."
"It seems that Liu Junior Sister is indeed putting in her utmost effort to teach Ling Feng. Coupled with Ling Feng's own talent, he has made such progress in just one day."
Thinking this, the elders' anger towards Liu Rusi lessened considerably.
Meanwhile, Liu Rusi's face turned a bit red.
It was true that she had given him the Carefree Sword Technique.
But she had merely tossed the manual to him without any real teaching!
The fact that he was able to practice to this extent was entirely due to his own efforts!
"Liu Junior Sister, given your diligent teaching of Ling Feng, I won't hold this against you this time. But Ling Feng is still a child, growing and developing; he should drink less wine, understand?"
"I understand."
Liu Rusi said dully.
Baiyun Sect's leader and the others ignored her, giving Ling Feng a few more instructions before leaving. Soon, only Liu Rusi and Ling Feng were left at Piaomiao Peak.
"Actually, if you had a different master, it might be better. They're right; I'm just a drunkard and gambler. I might not be able to teach you well."
Liu Rusi said self-deprecatingly.
"I believe in my Master."
"I don't even believe in myself. What makes you trust me?"
Ling Feng furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and then said, "Master has one advantage that Sect Leader and the elders don't have."
"Oh? What advantage?"
"Master is extremely beautiful. Just looking at you makes me feel at ease, and that keeps my spirits high, making my training twice as effective," Ling Feng said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Liu Rusi was momentarily stunned, her face flushing. "You little smooth talker, learning how to flatter at such a young age."
"It's not flattery; it's all from the heart."
"You really…"
Liu Rusi pulled Ling Feng into her embrace, rubbing against him. "You're just too cute! My sweet disciple, how can you be this adorable?"
"Master, let go! I can't breathe!"
Ling Feng's face was buried in a pair of soft mountains, the mixed scent of alcohol and a milky fragrance filling his senses, making it hard for him to breathe.
This is so wicked, far too wicked!
