Chapter 1719 Liquor-colored Wealth
The place where Qin An found Wu Xiaoxiao was a cave. The mountain is very short, but it takes up a lot of land.
Actually, he could have arrived long ago, but along the way, Qin An discovered many people from the Black Gold Empire. In order to figure out the background of the matter, he captured and interrogated some people, so he came a long time late. However, because of this, he knew something. Qiye was unable to personally take action for some reason, but her goal was to prevent Wu Xiaoxiao from killing Zhen Hao, because Zhen Hao would eventually pass through the Sword Spirit Star and become the Divine Martial Empress.
Perhaps the reason why they appeared six days ago was purely to meet him. After all, they had been in love for so many years. Or perhaps Qiye had already guessed that she would understand everything, so she hoped that she could help her and stop Wu Xiaoxiao from killing people for the sake of her love back then.
Then … if Empress Zhen hadn't appeared on the Sword Spirit Star, then Wu Xiaoxiao's previous memory wouldn't have been poisoned to death, and perhaps Qiye wouldn't have appeared either? Therefore, Qiye's real goal should be to change her life! She wanted to live in the state of Wu Xiaoxiao's memories transmigrating through her body, not Qiye.
Qin An felt that he had thought it through and understood the general situation. If the three sisters of the Zhen Clan did not die, it might really be a good thing. This matter was truly complicated. Wu Xiaoxiao had killed Empress Zhen's childhood because of hatred, so Empress Zhen would appear on the Sword Spirit Star and kill Wu Xiaoxiao again. Samsara would begin.
He sneaked to the edge of the cave and saw that the three sisters of the Zhen Clan were tied up inside, while Wu Xiaoxiao sat opposite them in a daze.
The three little girls' clothes were untidy at this time, and they looked very haggard and pitiful.
Sigh, three children …
Just as Qin An was about to sigh with emotion, he heard the little girl called Zhen Hao speak.
'"You said that you must kill us, but after we die, we will probably cross time and become Empress Zhen. You said that Empress Zhen once killed you. If Empress Zhen went to that time and space, wouldn't she have to kill you again?"
Qin An secretly nodded. This little girl was smart and immediately went with him.
Hearing this, Wu Xiaoxiao thought for a long time before she suddenly came to her senses. However, the things that she came to her senses were different from Zhen Hao and Qin An.
"Yes, I was killed by Queen Zhen. Now that I have met you as a child, you should be able to cross through no matter what. After killing me in the memory world, I am unwilling. You bitch, I want revenge! How can I get revenge …? It can only be done if you use all sorts of methods to make you suffer before you cross over! "Hahaha, right, I want to cut you into pieces and let you feel the brilliance of slaughter. There are many criminal laws in the Great Qin harem. I want you to try them one by one!"
Wu Xiaoxiao's fierce expression shocked Qin An. What had she experienced in the years since she became a prince? How did he become such a vicious person? Or could it be that she was originally malicious? He had wandered with her in the world of memory for many years without discovering anything.
Seeing that Wu Xiaoxiao had already walked towards the Zhen sisters, Qin An appeared.
"Xiaoxiao, your heart is devilish. Let go of your hatred and come back with me."
"Qin An …"
Seeing Qin An arrive, Wu Xiaoxiao's originally ferocious expression gradually calmed down. However, her gaze was still filled with malice. Needless to say, she did not give up on hatred at all.
'"Qin An …" You're here, are you trying to stop me from taking revenge? You can't do this to me, you can't! I used to like you so much, how can you do this to me? Are you also confused by this bitch Queen Zhen? Yes, it must be like this! I want to kill her, I want to kill her! "
Wu Xiaoxiao's words were incomprehensible, which made Qin An feel a little ridiculous. It seemed that Wu Xiaoxiao had gone crazy again.
He walked forward and grabbed Wu Xiaoxiao's hand. Without another word, Qin An wanted to take her out of the cave. At this moment, the cave ground suddenly cleared and disappeared. Qin An, Wu Xiaoxiao, and the Zhen sisters quickly fell into the abyss!
A hidden instance dungeon has opened!
'"Benefactors, welcome to the Skeletal Buddha's Tomb Emperor. This is the world's top Level 30 Hidden BOSS. You can only see the last Skeletal Buddha after you've attacked the 4th Level 3s Minor BOSS monster. Do you want to enter the first level of the Skeletal Buddha's Tomb now?"
After Qin An fell to the ground unscathed, he heard the sound of the system.
This was a sealed hall. Perhaps there was a portal or something like that, and there was no way to see the entrance.
5S Level 30 BOSS? This was the first time Qin An had encountered a BOSS marked with the letter "S". It seemed to be extremely dangerous.
"Is there an exit?"
Qin An wasn't in the mood to conquer the BOSS, so he spoke to the system.
'"Dear player, this is a one-time hidden instance dungeon. If you go out and give up the attack mission instance dungeon, it will disappear forever. You will miss out on a ton of rewards. Are you sure you want to exit?"
Damn, I missed out on a ton of rewards. This is ridiculous!
Qin An looked at Wu Xiaoxiao, who was also blinded, and then looked at the triplets. He found that one of the little things was badly bruised. It was probably beaten by Wu Xiaoxiao before.
Ai, they are all children, how pitiful.
Qin An was already a grandfather, so he naturally loved the child. Thus, he picked up the most injured little pitiful child and put it into his arms. After that, he teamed up with Wu Xiaoxiao and the triplets and brought them into the first floor of the Skeletal Buddha Cemetery!
Qin An had explored the entire space. There was only one palace at the bottom of the lake. He was unable to detect the situation inside because of the barrier. Since that was the case, Qin An naturally suspected that the other two little lolis had entered.
…
In this world, there were countless things that could arouse people's greed. In the final analysis, there was no escape from the words "liquor" and "wealth".
Qin An entered a dense peach blossom garden. The two young girls of the Zhen Clan and Wu Xiaoxiao were all gone, leaving only one in his arms.
"Are you Zhen'e? This game is very real. You were hit by Wu Xiaoxiao and your wound is still bleeding. It should hurt a lot."
"Can you recognize me?"
"Of course, I killed your mother and brought you back. How could I not recognize you after you were by my side for a few days?"
"You shouldn't have killed my mother. She's a good woman, at least she treats me well."
To Qin An's surprise, he didn't expect that Zhen E would suddenly talk about this matter, and that she would speak so calmly.
Before Qin An could reply, Zhen E changed the topic and urged, "Hurry up and leave. My two sisters don't know where to teleport. I don't want that crazy woman to be with them."
At this moment, Zhen E did not look like a 4-year-old girl at all. Qin An looked at her for a while and discovered that her little face, Wei Hong, was trembling slightly.
What's going on? Was she nervous when she hugged her?
Looks like we should find an opportunity to probe her true state!
Wine is intestinal poison,
The color was bone-scraping steel knife,
"Wealth is that root of evil,
Qi is a smokeless poison.
Qin An carried Zhen E for a long time, only to see peach blossoms, only to hear the lake water, only smell the wine fragrance, but no one was surprised.
Qin An activated his Heaven Scrying Spiritual Sense. Looking around, he found that there was really nothing. It was just the lake water and peach blossoms, and the wine fragrance came from the lake water.
Qin An was a wine lover, so he naturally went over to check.
The lake was crystal clear, and it was very large. Compared to the largest man-made lake in central Hanghai, it was estimated to be seven to eight times the size.
Qin An raised his hand and took a water into his palm. He sniffed it with his nose. It was really delicious and rich. It was more delicious than all the fine wine he had ever seen in his life.
"Isn't this really good wine?" Zhen E expressed her opinion.
"Yes, but for an alcoholic, he never cares about the quality of the wine."
"Haha, you seem to know how to drink."
The earliest Qin An didn't drink much. At the intersection of time and space, Qin An's alcohol capacity in the future world was also very ordinary. Zhen E didn't know how much Qin An's alcohol capacity was in this apocalyptic world.
Zhen E felt that she was a little unlucky. Originally, she wanted to escape, but because of Wu Xiaoxiao, she actually fell into Qin An's hands again … No, it was in her arms. Why was this damn man hugging her so tightly?
Qin An's expression was expressionless. He looked at the lake for a long time without saying a word. Zhen E broke the silence and said, "The monster is below. Although I can't see it, I can feel it."
"Oh? Is this a dark attribute?"
"Yes, can't I have a dark attribute?" Zhen E was very impolite to Qin An. "Since the monster is at the bottom of the lake, we won't be able to fight. Let's hurry up and find my sisters."
"Mm, there's no hurry. I think they should be nearby. Perhaps they might be at the bottom of the lake."
"Then what should we do? Are we going underground? This is wine. I will be drunk if I smell it. You … you don't look like you can drink well."
"Who said that? I have a huge amount."
"Massive? Small bubble size! Bullsh*t!" Zhen E's mouth rose, she really didn't like to be hugged by Qin An! She said this to herself in her heart, but her body was getting more and more accustomed to it, and she was no longer trembling.
"Mm, well, as an alcoholic, how can you not drink a glass of wine that you have never seen before in your life? Hahaha, I'll let you see how much I can drink."
Qin An laughed straightforwardly. Then, he actually picked up a table and chairs and placed a lot of dishes by the lake, preparing to eat …?
Zhen E was really confused. She didn't understand what Qin An meant. Now, she had to either find a way to enter the Wine Lake to play BOSS, or she should find a way to find Wu Xiaoxiao and her sister, but he was still in the mood to eat?
Qin An was naturally not crazy, but he found that the more he came into contact with Zhen E, the more familiar he felt. The familiarity was indescribable, as if Zhen E was Weng Lan! This was truly damned. Previously, he had treated her like a child and didn't think much of her. Now, how could he feel this way after coming into contact with her?
Qin An was actually well-versed in the current situation. This Jiushui Lake could fascinate people to death. It would definitely be unfavorable for the battle to rashly enter. Qin An was not confident that he could kill BOSS under the wine with his system ability.
Therefore, he wanted to move the lake away!
…
At this time, three traveling sisters came from outside the cave.
"Ah, I'm so tired. Sister, why don't you say that our Novice Village has a passageway to Sky Opening City?" Li Ying wiped away the sweat and was very unhappy.
"Yeah, it made us sisters have to hurry. Weng Die, you didn't say much along the way, why?"
Weng Die IV's personality was different. Her first life was magnificent, her second life was mischievous, and her third and fourth lives were filled with commoners. She should have spoken a lot, but along the way, she didn't know when she had become silent.
Hearing her call, Weng Lan's father sighed. He looked at Weng Lan Rising and said grievously, "Sister, my memory has just been restored, so it's not complete. I forgot some things before. You must have known about it a long time ago. Why didn't you tell me? It's embarrassing for me!"
Seeing her sister's wronged appearance, Weng Lan chuckled and said, "Since you think you are a virgin in your fourth life, how can elder sister destroy your impression of you?"
Li Ying's memories clearly hadn't fully recovered. She looked at Weng Lan doubtfully and said, "Did Weng Die have a man? Why don't I remember? Is it because her memories hadn't fully awakened?"
"Yes, it should be."
"Then what kind of man did Weng Die once have?"
"In her third life, she married Qin An in the beautiful land. She married him openly!"
"What? With Qin An?" The fourth generation Li Ying was completely stunned, while Weng Die wished she could find a crack in the ground.
At this time, the cave appeared in front of them. The three sisters intended to rest, so they walked in. On the way, Li Ying began to laugh at Weng Die. Weng Die naturally responded with a smile. Weng Lan did not help anyone and smiled as she watched them fight.
…
Inside the cave, Qin An had already cooked a large table for Weng Lan.
"You … you carry so much food with you?"
"Mm … that friend of mine, Yaozi, is a foodie, so bring more so as to prevent her from going out to fight monsters and upgrade her hunger."
"Hmph, you're quite considerate."
Zhen E was already trying her best to control her emotions, but it was not a good feeling in her heart.
"I underestimated you and thought you were just a child."
"I am a child myself."
"No, when I was paying attention to you, I discovered that your psychological age was not only this young. You should have matured already, right?"
Zhen E did not say anything and secretly asked, Is it that obvious? Exposed? This Qin An is quite smart.
Zhen E decided not to say anything and let Qin An guess randomly.
"Come on, take a look. These are all my wife's favorite dishes. Try your cooking."
Zhen E knew that her strength was far inferior to Qin An's. Now that Qin An didn't do anything, she could only let it go. However … this table of food looked quite plentiful.
'"Shredded potatoes, this is my favorite dish with her. I'm definitely cooking at the level of a chef, but her cooking is a bit strange. She always cooks yellow into black paste, so I like to eat that kind of paste flavor later on, haha."
"Where… is your wife?"
"Weng Lan, the woman I love the most in my life, do you want to hear the story of me and her?"
Zhen E was a little unprepared, but she didn't expect Qin An to suddenly mention Weng Lan. Her face turned a little pale. After a long time, she said,
"Is it appropriate to mention her at this time? Wu Xiaoxiao, my sister, and the boss here are ignoring her?"
'"Yes, I have thoroughly searched the map. Since there is no one here, then they must be in the palace below the lake. I just tried, but I can't remove the wine from the lake with the method of space transfer. So it seems that there is only one way, and that is to drink it all!"
"Drink up? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Haha, this is indeed a bit exaggerated. Furthermore, if you want to drink all the wine in this lake, it will definitely take some time. It will be enough for us to have a comfortable meal, drink a cup of wine, and tell a story!"
As Qin An spoke, he could not help but carry her up and put her on a chair beside the table. Zhen E was very angry. She was a woman. Wasn't Qin An treating her like a child when he hugged her like this?
"Come, try my cooking. This shredded potato is really delicious."
Qin An smiled as he picked up the dishes for Zhen E.
Forget it. I'm indeed a little hungry. Previously, it was Wu Xiaoxiao who fought and Zhen E was injured. Then let's eat something.
Thinking of this, Zhen E picked up her chopsticks and ate a mouthful of shredded potatoes.
She continued to eat the second bite and the third bite. When she reached the fourth bite, her movements slowed down.
This was the second generation of Weng Lan. She remembered the day when she first married Qin An.
At that time, Qin An was really good at cooking, but was this the taste of the shredded potatoes he stir-fried? Sigh, it's been a long time, she has forgotten, but she really likes to eat the shredded potatoes in front of her.
"In front of the wine, I sing a song. A lifetime really is not that long! Life is like the dew before the rising sun. Bygone days did not bring me much fun. Sing my heart out when my emotion overwhelms me. Unpleasant memories keep reminding me. How can I get rid of this anxious feeling? Get some Dukang wine and start drinking. You are the talented ones in your prime. I think of you all the time. For you, I am willing to bow. I event quietly chant my poem until now. Youyou Luming, eat wild apple. My distinguished guests will come for dinner. I will entertain them with a flute, a drum, and a zither. The bright moon shines all around. But how and when can I take it down? Dreadful thoughts come naturally. They cannot be stopped deliberately. You traveled through the rugged roads in your journey. I surely appreciate your sacrifice and your company. How joyful we are to chat and eat during our reunion? I am grateful to you for your help on several occasions. The moon is so bright with a few stars around. Some crows and magpies fly southbound. They circle around the same tree thrice. Which branch do they perch for the night? No mountain is too steep and tall. No sea is too deep for my cause. Duke Zhou spat out his breath, and the world returned to its heart--this was Cao Cao's "Short Song Line"! "I remember that I was very infatuated with Cao Cao at that time. He was really a villain, a true hero. I once wanted to become someone like him, but in the end, I was still inferior. In the end, I could only be a small man."
Qin An had already drunk a lot of wine in the process of reciting this short song.
The way he drank was very peculiar. The wine seemed to have a life, and it would fly up from the surface of the lake and fall into Qin An's mouth.
Zhen E was speechless. She only felt that Qin An before her was really unfamiliar, different from what she had experienced in her first life.
"See how the Yellow River's waters move out of heaven, entering the ocean, never to return. Gao Tang Mingjing's sad white hair turned into snow at dusk. Oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases, and never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon. Since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed! Spin a thousand pieces of silver, all of them come back. Cook a sheep, kill a cow, whet the appetite, and make me, of three hundred bowls, one long drink. Master Cen Fu and Dan Qiusheng will be drinking. Don't stop. Sing a song with Jun Ge, please listen to it for me. The bells and drums are not expensive enough, I hope I will never wake up from my drunkenness. Sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten, and only the great drinkers are famous for all time. Prince Chen paid at a banquet in the Palace of Perfection, ten thousand coins for a cask of wine, with many a laugh and quip. Why say, my host, that your money is gone? Go and buy wine and we'll drink it together. Wuhua Ma, Qianjin Qiu, and Hu'er will go out to exchange for fine wine and sell it with you for Wangu Chou--this is Li Bai's famous phrase, "Wangu Chou," which has been passed down from generation to generation. Have you ever heard of it? "
Perhaps it was because he drank too fast, Qin An's face was a little red, and he was also a little excited when he looked at it.
He took out a glass of wine and brought a glass of wine for Zhen E.
Zhen E hesitated for a moment before finally gulping it down in one gulp!
The first feeling was that it was so hot, and then his entire body was scorching hot. In the end, he felt as if his body was wrapped in a heating stove. It was really comfortable. And the taste of the wine is reflected in the tongue after entering the body, so comfortable! It's really good wine!
