Chapter 561: Chapter 562: Good Stuff
Well, they’ll see. A mere waste who had consumed Soul Devouring Grass, thus cutting off the possibility of an Extraordinary Ability Awakening—let’s see who triumphs over whom!
Luo Bu gave a dismissive snort and looked away. He didn’t consider Yadang worth his attention at all.
...
Another group of young females walked in a line with wooden trays. They were dressed considerably more becomingly than the ones who’d been dancing before.
After seeing them, Keli set on a mysterious smile and explained to Gaiyin, "Clan Leader of the White Tiger Clan, you must try this delightful thing I’ve brought back from the Kingdom. I don’t usually invite common folk to taste it. It simply tastes fabulous. You might find it a bit unfamiliar the first time, but the sensation after drinking... Just taste it and you’ll know."
While he spoke, a young female brought a wooden tray to their stone table.
On the tray was a tightly sealed jar, with two small clay cups beside it, much smaller than the water cups on the table.
Noticing this, Su Tang slightly raised her eyebrows, "That wouldn’t happen to be wine, would it?"
"Wine?" Gaiyin glanced at Su Tang.
Although Su Tang’s voice was soft, Keli heard it. He laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, yes! This is wine, freshly brought back from the Kingdom."
Keli hadn’t paid much attention to Su Tang at first. He thought her just an attractive young woman who’d attached herself to the leader of the White Tiger Clan to survive, capable of nothing else.
But what Su Tang had just said overturned Keli’s perception. This wine was developed only recently by the Kingdom’s scholars, and because of his good relationship with the king, he had the good fortune of bringing two jars of it back.
In a banquet at the Kingdom, he’d tasted it once, and it had felt exceptional. He’d been so reluctant to open the two jars he had brought back with him that, relying on his memory, he had people make wine cups like those used in the Kingdom. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
He only brought it out this time out of respect for the leader of the White Tiger Clan.
Yet, the moment he brought it out, this inconspicuous young woman recognized it.
Now Keli, with newfound interest, looked at Su Tang. "How do you know about wine? Have you drunk it before?"
With a slight smile, Su Tang nodded, "We have wine in the Peach Blossom, too. I just don’t know what kind of wine this is?"
Yadang glanced at Su Tang. When did the Peach Blossom have wine?
But he only glanced and otherwise suppressed his emotions well.
Keli was also taken aback, "Your Peach Blossom? Your tribe? Does your tribe have wine? What do you mean by ’what kind of wine’? Are there different kinds of wine?"
While speaking, Keli gestured to the females of Upper Beast City to open the clay jar of wine and pour two cups.
The color of the wine was slightly yellow, which certainly wasn’t because it had aged.
It must be due to the raw material and the brewing process, Su Tang concluded.
Nodding her understanding, she said, "Oh, it’s vodka. Vodka has a strong and mellow aroma, a sharp bitterness when it hits the palate, and a sweet aftertaste. After drinking enough, your cheeks will flush, and your heartbeat will speed up. It numbs your nerves and gives your brain a comfortable feeling. This sensation lasts until the alcohol is completely expelled from your body."
Keli found that Su Tang’s description matched his own experience. His face turned red with excitement and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes! That’s exactly how I felt when I drank a lot of it in the Kingdom last time."
