Tong Nuonuo glanced at Li Muye who was standing beside him. He already felt insecure enough in front of Li Muye and he really couldn't bring himself to ask him for a loan.

He didn't say anything, and Li Muye didn't offer to lend him money. He wanted to see how he would solve the problem.

The fat forum leader laughed enough and then said, "Wait until you sell the things and come back to pay me back? You are really arrogant. Do you know where you are going? It is the evil realm! People like you, eight out of ten will never come back. Who knows if you will die in Guangji? How can I ask the dead for the money I owe you then?"

This was too unpleasant to hear. Tang Ru looked unhappy. She said with a stern face, "Aren't there two more people who can come back? We are one of those two."

The fat forum owner was choked by her own words. He was neither amused nor angry. He really didn't know where this short man got the courage and confidence from.

If the two of them continued to talk, they would definitely start a quarrel. Tong Nuonuo quickly said, "No need to wait for us to come back. I have several mechanisms here. You can choose one to make up for the insufficient spirit stones."

The fat altar master was too lazy to talk to them, and was not interested in the method of using mechanisms to replace the spirit stones. He was mistaken, thinking that Tong Nuonuo must be a mechanism master since he was young, and the mechanisms in his hands were worthless.

He leaned back lazily and said, "You were brought here by an acquaintance, so I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you drink a jar of wine and show me your determination, I can spare you the five spirit stones."

Drinking a jar of wine and being exempted from a debt of five spirit stones, this kind of good thing would be a very happy thing if it happened in other places or to other people.

But at this moment, Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru looked at the large wine jar as high as the chair next to the fat master with pale faces.

This is no ordinary wine. Just the smell of alcohol in the room is enough to make people drunk, let alone taking a sip. If you drink a jar of wine like this, won't you die?

At this time, Li Muye, who had seen enough, said, "I thank the altar master for his kindness in forgiving the spirit stones. But this jar is too big, and it would be a waste of the altar master's kindness if we can't finish the drink. I think it would be better to change to a smaller jar like this."

The fat leader looked at Li Muye and noticed that he was very persistent. He smacked his lips and waved his hand indifferently, "For your sake, okay."

In his heart, he was thinking that if Li Muye died in Guangji this time and couldn't come back, he could swallow up the trained beasts that he hadn't sold yet. Compared with this batch of trained beasts, the Five Spirit Stones were not worth mentioning at all.

The capacity of the small jar of wine was about ten kilograms, but compared with the large jar of wine that was as high as the chair, it was much easier for the two of them to accept.

Tang Ru gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go first!" She walked to the side of the guest seat, picked up a jar, opened the seal, held the belly of the jar with one hand and the bottom of the jar with the other, put her mouth to the mouth of the jar, and began to drink from it in big gulps.

Tong Nuonuo was stunned by this bold action. She stood there stupidly watching the overflowing liquor soaking Tang Ru's shirt.

The fat leader of the forum sat up straight again and watched Tang Ru drink with interest.

His wine has a high alcohol content, rich aura and is expensive. He felt that they were taking advantage of him by letting two people drink his wine.

Of course, he didn't mean well. He was really annoyed by Tang Ru and deliberately made things difficult for them. It was his bad taste to see a child-like female cultivator and a young man who had just started out and had not seen much of the world get drunk.

"Gudong, gudong, gudong..." Under the expectant look of the fat jar owner, Tang Ru drank the whole jar of wine in one breath without stopping.

Putting down the jar of wine, Tang Ru wiped his mouth and burped loudly.

The three people looked at her, all of them were a little bit unbelievable. Not only was she not drunk at all, but her face was not red and she was not out of breath.

Tong Nonuo asked: "Why are you drinking like water?" Not only Tong Nonuo was confused, even the fat forum owner sitting above was a little suspicious, wondering if some bastard had replaced his wine.

Tang Ru licked his lips and said, "This wine is very strong. Drinking it feels like swallowing fire, but it feels quite exciting."

After hearing this comment, the fat forum owner was sure that no one would replace his wine. "I never knew that you, a little girl, can drink so much! It's rare!"

Tang Ru didn't want to pay attention to him. She was not a little girl.

Tong Nuonuo was inspired by Tang Ru's behavior. He also picked a jar of wine, opened it and started drinking.

After just one sip, he wanted to spit it out. This wine is too spicy!

After two or three sips, Tong Nuonuo couldn't help but put down the jar of wine, coughing and inhaling.

The fat forum owner was satisfied. This was a normal reaction.

Tong Nuonuo also has a stubborn temper. It doesn't make sense that Tang Ru can drink a whole jar of it without any problem, but when he comes to him, he acts so cowardly, which is too embarrassing.

His pride got the better of him, and he didn't care about the spiciness of the food. He held back his tears, raised the jar of wine and drank it.

He moved too violently, and the wine that he hadn't swallowed in time spilled out of the jar. Seeing this, the fat jar owner shook his head and said, "It's like a cow chewing a peony."

The owner of the forum is addicted to alcohol, and the wines that are placed around him and that he drinks regularly are all good wines. Tong Nuonuo drank more than he spilled, which is such a waste.

Tong Nuonuo didn't have time to take a second breath. Halfway through drinking, he fell down and passed out from being drunk.

Li Muye walked over, put his arm around his waist and held the jar of wine in the other.

"Such good wine cannot be wasted." As he said this, he grabbed the mouth of the jar with one hand and drank the rest in one breath.

The fat forum owner knew that he was helping his friend, but one of them had already passed out from drinking, so he couldn't force anything.

"Great! That's great!" The fat altar master waited for Li Muye to put down the jar of wine and praised loudly. He turned to Tang Ru and said, "This is the first time I've seen someone as good at drinking as you. Why don't you stay by my side from now on? I will guarantee you the resources for cultivation and I won't ask you to do anything else but just drink with me."

The fat forum owner was delighted to see the prey. It would be boring for a person who loves to drink to have no company every time. It would be nice if he could keep Tang Ru and make him a drinking buddy.

Tang Ru refused immediately. She said, "It's not that I can drink a lot, but my physique is special. Drinking alcohol is just like drinking water. I won't get drunk at all."

This was something she had just figured out. It seemed to be a side effect of the transformation of her poisonous spiritual root that prevented her from getting drunk.

"This is such a pity..." The fat leader of the forum felt deeply regretful. The fun of drinking lies in the feeling of being intoxicated or not. If you are not drunk, you cannot experience this feeling. The fat leader of the forum immediately lost interest in Tang Ru.

The fat forum leader had someone lead them to another small courtyard. There would be people guarding outside. They could tell them if they needed anything, but they were not allowed to go out.

After paying fifteen spirit stones, Tang Ru only had more than a hundred spirit beads and some spirit coins left. Fortunately, Tang Ru had already purchased the supplies before.

She didn't have to worry about Tong Nuonuo. Every time she went out, Tong Nuonuo would prepare everything she would need in Taizhen.

Along the way, Li Muye held the drunk Tong Nuonuo in his arms, saying that he was worried that Tang Ru couldn't deal with him alone.

Tang Ru chuckled and thought to himself: Even though she is so small, she is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage after all. How come she can't do anything?

It's not that she can't see that Li Muye has a special feeling towards Tong Nuonuo, and she also clearly knows the grudge between Tong Nuonuo and Li Muye. This matter is too complicated, she can't solve it, so she won't intervene.

The next day, Tong Nuonuo was still in a daze and was led by Tang Ru to the portal.

"How are you?" Tang Ru looked helplessly at his friend sitting on the railing.

"It's not very comfortable..." Tong Nuonuo said painfully.

"I know. You're hungover, but we have to leave now. Just bear with it."

"Yeah." Tong Nuonuo nodded pitifully.

Neither of them was on Zhishitang's blacklist, but for safety reasons, they still had to arrange for two temporary fake identities to pass through.

The fat leader asked them to pass through the vortex portal first. After waiting in Luo Bei for an hour, Li Muye came to meet them.

Starting from the fortress belonging to Luo Chen in Luobei Tianjing, the itinerary along the way was arranged by the fat altar master's people. However, they were only responsible for the journey, and they had to prepare their own food, drinks and items.

They rode non-stop to a deserted valley outside Guangji Fortress, and the person leading them handed them over to another person.

The man was obviously an evil cultivator, with a sinister aura lingering around him, making people feel very weird.

When the two men were handing over, someone didn't know what went wrong. The evil cultivator looked at them with a very bad expression. After the fat leader's men left, the evil cultivator came over.

Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru both tensed up and couldn't help but circulate their true energy.

The evil cultivator's cultivation level was only Golden Core. When Tang Ru got nervous, the powerful aura released by the late Nascent Soul stage oppressed the evil cultivator so much that his face changed.

Li Muye took a step forward and stood in front of the three people. He raised one hand, signaling the two men to restrain themselves.

He said, "It's their first time going to the evil realm, so they're bound to be nervous."

The evil cultivator accepted his explanation, and he said, "Tell them to take care of themselves. If they behave like this when they pass through the portal, I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong!"

Li Muye turned his head and gave Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru a warning look before turning back to the evil cultivator and saying, "I'll ask them to control themselves."

Seeing that they were about to get into trouble, Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru controlled themselves to remain calm and sort out their true energy.

The evil cultivator still looked a little unhappy, but not because of Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru's loss of control, but because of another thing.

He said, "Something unexpected happened. The information that was passed on earlier was inaccurate, saying only that there were two men and one woman, so I prepared an identity for you based on the configuration of two men and one woman. But when I met you, I realized that the woman among you was a dwarf, so the identity I prepared could not be used."

"Why can't it be used?" Li Muye asked calmly.

The evil cultivator said, "We have prepared a pair of Taoist companions, plus a lone traveler's identity. This dwarf has never intermarried with outsiders, so no one would believe me if I told him that he is a Taoist companion with any of you!"

Tong Nuonuo said: "I can pretend to be a Taoist couple with Ah Rou. We have always intended to become a family in the future."

Tang Ru rolled his eyes at him, "Stop it! We dwarves have never had a precedent of marrying with his people. If we really pretend to be a Taoist couple, we will definitely be exposed."

The evil cultivator looked at the three of them, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Li Muye and Tong Nonuo: "How about this, you two pretend to be Taoist couples."
