Case solved, they really were hallucinating.
The corners of Mu Shiyue's mouth twitched.
Then, before she could say anything, the other disciples also began to stir.
"Danger! Cover me!"
"Danger, protect Master!"
"There's an enemy over there!"
Bang!
Boom!
Clang!
All kinds of chaotic sounds mixed together, with the sound of houses collapsing especially clear.
Watching room after room being destroyed, Mu Shiyue went completely numb.
The power of this jar of wine was far stronger than the monkey wine!
The first time they drank monkey wine, they also had a drunken fit, but it was still within a controllable range.
But now, the intensity of their madness was much stronger than before!
Moreover, this wine could even stimulate their potential!
Seeing the disciples stronger than before smashing houses apart, Mu Shiyue was about to step forward to stop them, then the spirit beasts also took action.
"Roar~!"
"Ang!"
"Moo!"
Even the cubs raised their heads and let out immature roars.
"Roar-woo!"
"Ying!"
"Moo-woo~"
Then they also started tearing down the houses.
Mu Shiyue: "..."
Completely numb.
Looking at the chaotic scene, she didn't know whether to be relieved that they were tearing down houses instead of each other.
In the end, she didn't do anything, found a spot to curl up in, and let the outside go crash bang roar moo ying.
After who knows how long, everyone's drunkenness finally passed, and they sobered up.
Seeing the mess all over the ground and the houses reduced to ruins, everyone gasped.
"Enemy attack?!"
"Who did this?!"
"Roar~"
"Li——"
"Wooo!"
Both humans and spirit beasts' expressions changed drastically.
Xin Jinrui and the others were even more horrified, an enemy had actually entered their sect?!
The most terrifying part was that they had no memory at all, allowing the enemy to destroy their houses like this!
Everyone was both terrified and furious, "Who did this? We must take revenge!"
"Too hateful, they actually destroyed all our houses!"
"I'm going to kill them!"
"They might not have gone too far yet, let's go chase them!"
"Which direction?!"
"Is anyone injured?"
"Did anyone see who it was?"
Everyone was in chaos, like headless flies running in circles.
Finally, Chu Jingzhuo calmed down first.
He looked at the mess, then checked everyone and the spirit beasts, and finally noticed something was off.
Everyone had some injuries, but these wounds didn't look like they came from fighting others, more like injuries from punching hard objects.
They looked disheveled but weren't seriously hurt.
"Where's master?"
Chu Jingzhuo's heart jumped as he immediately shouted.
"That's right! Where's master?!"
Everyone snapped back to their senses and panicked.
"I'm here."
Just as they feared Mu Shiyue had been harmed, her voice sounded faintly from behind.
They turned to see her slowly walking over.
"Master, are you alright?"
"Master!"
Chu Jingzhuo examined her carefully and discovered that she was completely fine, not even her hair was messy.
She looked completely out of place compared to their miserable state.
Qin Yiwei also reacted, "Master… you're fine?"
The others looked at her with uncertainty.
It wasn't that they weren't happy, the situation just felt a bit strange.
"Master, those bad people didn't hurt you, right?"
"No."
"That's good!"
"—There were no bad people."
"Ah?"
Everyone looked at Mu Shiyue in shock, a bit confused on what she meant.
"There were no bad people, it was all you." Mu Shiyue said calmly.
How could she not be calm?
After watching them destroy everything with their own hands, she had already gone from shock to complete calmness.
"Us?!"
"We did this?!"
The disciples gasped, their faces horrified.
"That's impossible!"
"How could we do something like this?!"
"This is something only crazy people would do!"
Everyone shook their heads wildly, refusing to accept this terrifying fact. Who would tear down their own homes?!
Mu Shiyue spoke seriously, "You drank too much, you were all having a drunken fit."
"Drunken fit?!"
They gasped again, their expressions changing.
"We actually went crazy from drinking?!"
Their reaction this time was even stronger than the last time?
"Mm." Mu Shiyue nodded, clicking her tongue. "Your strength still isn't enough. That's why even when you only drank a little, you still lost control!"
Everyone fell silent, then looked ashamed.
"I actually already prepared myself before drinking, but I didn't expect…"
"Our strength really isn't enough, that's why we couldn't control ourselves!"
They began self-criticizing.
During the first time they drank monkey wine, they also got drunk.
But at least they still remembered it.
This time, they had no memory at all!
"Master, is it because… there were mushrooms in the wine?" Qin Yiwei finally asked after thinking about it for a while.
"Mushrooms?" The others froze. "What mushrooms?"
"The mushrooms we added in the wine earlier!"
They suddenly realized.
Oh yea, Mu Shiyue did add mushrooms as one of the ingredients in the wine.
"But the mushrooms weren't poisonous, right?"
Everyone looked at Mu Shiyue for answers.
If they were poisonous, why would she add them?
Was she planning to wipe everyone out in one go?
Facing her disciples' questioning gazes, Mu Shiyue cleared her throat, "Of course they weren't poisonous. Otherwise, why would I add them?"
Of course, she wasn't lying.
She just didn't expect that combining the mushrooms with other ingredients would activate their effects.
But she would never admit that.
As their master, how could she mess up?
It's clearly because they were too weak, causing this to happen!
If they were strong enough, how could they be knocked down by a bit of wine?
Why was she fine?
Thinking of this, Mu Shiyue straightened her back and became even more confident.
Conscience?
What's that?
She didn't have it.
Seeing her be so confident, the disciples began doubting themselves, lowering their heads in shame.
Yes, if they were stronger, they wouldn't have been defeated by a cup of wine.
Qin Yiwei and Chu Jingzhuo exchanged glances, a bit suspicious, but said nothing.
Master was right, it was their own problem.
If they were strong enough, no wine could affect them.
"Wooo!"
The sober monkey king suddenly ran over, extremely happy.
After listening to it, Mu Shiyue's eyes lit up, her smile brilliant, "You like it? That's great, take it!"
"This settles the debt, right?" she said cheerfully.
Everyone else's demands are irrelevant, settling things with the monkey king was top priority!
"Wooo!" The monkey king nodded repeatedly.
This vat of wine was indeed better than what it brewed.
Not only did it taste good, it also felt amazing to drink!
That floating, euphoric feeling was too incredible!
The monkey king even wished it could trade all its monkey wine for this mushroom wine!
Mu Shiyue was also very delighted.
The debt was cleared, she's finally free!
She directly packed up the monkey wine, shoved it to the monkey king, and waved enthusiastically, "Take care!"
Then she turned back to the disciples, "Fix the houses for me."
The disciples: "..."
