The Treasure-Seeking Mouse didn't understand the meaning in Xiao Qing's eyes, but it still moved closer to Mu Shiyue's head, afraid that it would be snatched away by the snake again.
Although it's sober now and its speed had recovered so it wasn't something this little snake could bully anymore, there were so many powerful spirit beasts around. It still cherished its life.
Mu Shiyue didn't know about the grudge between the little fluffball and Xiao Qing. She continued distributing the wine to everyone.
She was very fair, Hu Niu got two ladles of wine, and Da Yanzi and the other adult spirit beasts all got two ladles as well.
Xin Jinrui and the others each got one ladle.
As for cubs like Little Tiger Bao, they got half a ladle.
After distributing the wine to everyone, there was still a lot left in the wine vat.
It was obvious that the Treasure-Seeking Mouse had moved the other party's entire stash over.
Mu Shiyue also poured herself a cup.
Once they had their wine, everyone sniffed the sweet fragrance in front of them and quickly found a spot to start tasting.
"This is my first time drinking monkey wine!" Ke Chongbo looked at the purplish-red liquid, a little reluctant to drink it.
"Who isn't drinking it for the first time?" Xin Jinrui also looked at the cup in his hand with a solemn expression.
The others reacted similarly. Everyone had only heard of it before and never actually tasted it.
While they were hesitating, Hu Niu and the other spirit beasts had already started drinking.
After one sip, their eyes lit up instantly.
Then they gulped it down, entering full-on chugging mode.
In no time at all, they finished their portions, still wanting more.
Then their gazes fell on Xin Jinrui and the others.
Shivering under those looks, no one dared keep admiring anymore and immediately poured the wine into their mouths.
It felt like if they didn't drink quickly enough, those beasts would pounce over to snatch it.
That wouldn't do!
Good things had to go into one's stomach first!
As soon as the wine went down their throats, the sweet, mellow flavor exploded in their mouths.
"So good!"
They couldn't help shouting.
"Way too good!"
Everyone looked amazed, "This tastes incredible!"
They had never drunk wine this good!
Although they hadn't drunk much alcohol before, they were sure that no matter what kind of wine it was, nothing could be this good!
It wasn't harsh at all, extremely rich and lingering, with fruity fragrance and the strong aroma of alcohol.
Absolutely amazing!
"The spiritual energy is way too abundant!"
Not only was it delicious, the spiritual energy inside felt like it was about to explode!
"So satisfying!"
Everyone drank while exclaiming in amazement.
"Roar~"
"Ang!"
"Moo~"
Even the spirit beasts cried out, as if echoing their evaluation.
Even Mu Shiyue's eyes showed a trace of amazement.
In her previous life, she had eaten all kinds of delicacies.
She had also drunk monkey wine before, but it wasn't as rich and fragrant as this, it was slightly inferior.
She liked this wine a lot.
It's just that the spiritual energy inside was a bit too much for her taste.
But she didn't dare say that out loud, she'd probably be sprayed to death if she did.
Monkey wine was famous precisely because of its flavor and spiritual energy.
Everyone wished it had even more spiritual energy!
"My spiritual power increased a little!" Jiang Yunnuan couldn't help crying out.
"Mine increased too!"
"Mine as well!"
The disciples all shouted excitedly.
This monkey wine really was a treasure, so satisfying!
No wonder monkey wine was so precious!
"Aoow~"
"Ying ying ying~"
"Hiss hiss…"
"Moo~"
The cubs that had drunk the monkey wine also let out excited cries, and then—the alcohol surged up, and the aftereffects hit.
"Aoow~!"
Little Tiger Bao threw its head back and howled, trying to imitate its mother's majestic roar.
But its voice was soft and babyish, spraying a bit of saliva and almost choking itself.
Realizing something was wrong with its voice, it shook its head, burped, and startled itself into jumping.
Then it bared its tiny milk teeth and cried fiercely at everyone, as if it had seen some danger.
Next, it took a few steps with mismatched limbs and suddenly collapsed.
"Little Tiger Bao!" Everyone was startled.
After checking, they realized it was drunk.
"Ying! Ang! Mm!"
Little Sesame also made all kinds of strange noises and spun around in place.
After circling a few times, it lay on the ground and rolled left and right…then struggled up and moved forward.
But soon it tripped and fell, not getting back up again.
Everyone took one look, another one got drunk.
"Moo~"
Ah Lang let out a low call and started running around the courtyard.
Watching it run a few laps made everyone dizzy.
After running for a bit, it slowed down.
Then its body tilted and it slid onto the ground.
Everyone's gaze turned to Chu Jingzhuo's hand.
Xiao Qing was completely motionless.
Chu Jingzhuo gave a helpless smile, "It's drunk too."
Everyone: "..."
As expected of cubs, they really couldn't handle alcohol!
Thankfully they were spirit beasts. If they were human children, no one would dare let them drink!
Still, the way these little cubs acted when drunk was really unique, each one was different!
"Figures, little cubs can't handle things!" Ke Chongbo giggled foolishly, his cheeks also starting to redden.
The wine was really delicious and full of spiritual energy, but its strength was also fierce.
After laughing at the cubs, everyone started feeling dizzy themselves.
They quickly found places to sit down and tried to regulate their breathing.
They didn't want to make drunken fools of themselves like the cubs, it would be too embarrassing!
Even so, Hu Niu and the other spirit beasts looked at them with mockery in their eyes.
It's just a bit of alcohol, and you can't handle it already?
Heh, trash!
Of course, even as they mocked them, they themselves were also a little dizzy and had crouched or sat down on the spot.
This wine was seriously strong!
Among everyone present, Mu Shiyue was the most sober.
She's currently at Nascent Soul Stage, and with her Five Elements spiritual power circulating to suppress the alcohol, she stayed sober.
Aside from her, everyone, big and small, human and beast, was sitting or lying around, and the expanded courtyard was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door outside.
No one inside the courtyard, human or beast, moved.
So Mu Shiyue went to open the door.
When she opened it, a tall man stood outside and politely said, "Hello, is this Wuxuan Sect? I'm Ke Chongzhen, Ke Chongbo's older brother. I'm looking for him."
"Oh, you're Little Bo's older brother. Come on in."
Hearing her tone, Ke Chongzhen felt uncertain, "You are…?"
"I'm Mu Shiyue, the sect master of the Wuxuan Sect."
With that confirmation, Ke Chongzhen was shocked.
This is actually the sect master of Wuxuan Sect!
So young!
He finally understood what his mother had said before.
This Sect Master Mu really didn't look her age at all!
"Greetings, Sect Master Mu!"
Ke Chongzhen immediately saluted, extremely respectful.
"Alright, hello to you too," Mu Shiyue said cheerfully. "Come in."
"Yes."
Ke Chongzhen nodded and stepped inside.
"By the way, is Little Bo here?"
"He's inside."
Mu Shiyue led him inward.
Very soon, Ke Chongzhen saw people and beasts sprawled all over the ground in every direction and was completely dumbfounded.
"Big Brother!"
Ke Chongbo also spotted his older brother and immediately rushed toward him excitedly.
Before Ke Chongzhen could say anything, he saw his younger brother swing a fierce punch straight at him!
Ke Chongzhen: "???!!!"
