Faced with the old man's enthusiasm and his offer to hug her, Jiang Si smiled slowly: "You old geezer, if you dare to touch my skirt with your filthy hands, I'll chop your hands off and braise them for you!"

Shu Xu raised his hand in mid-air and circled it back, magically producing a bottle of red wine, which he then raised to Jiang Si: "1988 dry red, your favorite."

Jiang Si leaned back on the sofa and looked at him: "I don't like dry red wine anymore. I like Guojiao 1573 now. Do you have any?"

The old man loved drinking red wine. When Earth became a zombie apocalypse, he collected a lot of red wine. Surprisingly, 3,000 years later, the red wine was still there.

He wanted to drink blood, he thought red wine was red, and that it was a way to show off and make him look sophisticated and classy.

"Guojiao 1573?" Shu Xubai paused for a moment, his red eyes carrying a faint smile: "You really are fickle. You used to like dry red wine, but now you like Guojiao 1573. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Jiang Si tapped her leg: "I thought your space was omnipotent and had everything, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"It seems you were just bragging to me before. You're not a walking encyclopedia; you have everything."

With a flick of his wrist, Shu Xubai's bottle of red wine vanished, replaced by a bottle of baijiu: "Whatever my little Sisi wants, just ask, and I can always find it for you. You know that, Guojiao sauce-flavored baijiu, 53% ABV, is that alright?"

Jiang Si pouted and said, "It's barely acceptable."

Shu Xubai opened the liquor bottle, took out two stemmed glasses, poured more than half a glass, and handed it to Jiang Si. His red eyes were fixed on her as he spoke in a doting and affectionate tone: "It's only because I spoil you that you can't stand it. Try someone else."

Jiang Si took the cup from his hand, held it to her nose and sniffed it. "3000-year-old wine! It's really not your average wine. It's incredibly fragrant."

After smelling the wine, she looked up with a bewildered and innocent expression: "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."

Shu Xubai seemed to be used to her doing this, and clinked his glass against hers, making a crisp sound: "I didn't say anything, cheers to our 4,000-year friendship."

“I’m only 18 this year!” Jiang Si reminded him coolly, “How am I like you, an old codger who has lived for 4,000 years?”

Shu Xubai laughed heartily: "Look at my memory! Cheers to our 3,000-year friendship, oh no, cheers to Xiao Sisi regaining her youth!"

"Cheers." Jiang Si also clinked her glass against his, and then took a sip.

This wine, with over 3,000 years of history, is indeed mellow, fragrant, and flavorful, incomparable to any baijiu aged 3,000 years or a hundred years. Guojiao wine is Guojiao wine; its quality is simply different.

"It tastes pretty good, no wonder you like it." Shu Xubai took a big gulp without even frowning. "Come with me, my space has enough for you to drink for a lifetime."

Jiang Si chuckled, swirling the clear liquor in her hand, and looked at him with her eyes: "You old codger, you've got quite the scheme up your sleeve."

"You wouldn't have imagined this 3,000 years ago, and you're still dreaming about it 3,000 years from now. You'd trade a bottle of wine for my whole life, let me supply you with blood, and warm your bed.

Shu Xubai moved closer to her with the wine in his hand, his red eyes fixed on her without blinking. He called her by her name, "Jiang Si, you wanted to die with me. I didn't expect to live. I thought it wouldn't be bad to die with you."

"But I survived, while you disappeared. I lived aimlessly on a desolate planet with Jiang Jiang for over 3,000 years."

"I met you again. You're not dead. You know I'm happier than anyone else. The two of us should have been together, just like more than 3,000 years ago. You didn't like the lab, so I destroyed it."

"If you don't fit in with others, I'll turn the world into zombies, make the world without laws, let the strong prey on the weak, and let the mighty rule. As long as you like, I'm willing to be the blade in your hand. Wherever you swing, I'll cut."

His eyes were beautiful, more crystal clear than the purest pigeon blood ruby ​​on ancient Earth, and dazzlingly red.

What a pity...

Jiang Si lowered her eyelids, avoiding his direct gaze, put the wine glass to her lips, took a big gulp of the soy sauce-flavored liquor, swallowed it down and said: "You old geezer, if you hadn't just tried to use a hallucinogenic manipulation technique on me, if I hadn't known you for 3,000 years, I would have believed that I was so important to you."

"The important thing is that you did something wrong, and you wanted the world to go mad, so you blame it all on me. Tsk tsk, luckily I ran away quickly, otherwise... I would have been the first zombie bitten by you."

"You don't believe me, I didn't use any hallucinogenic manipulation on you..."

"Alright, alright." Jiang Si interrupted him impatiently: "Besides having a spatial ability that I don't have, I can do everything you can do, and I can do everything you can't do. I know what kind of person you are, so don't use manipulation on me again."

"I don't want to dig out mind manipulation techniques from my distant memories to make you submit to me, you know that, folks?"

Shu Xubai took a deep breath, relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, lowering his eyelids to conceal the glint of shrewdness and darkness that flashed in his eyes: "What a spoilsport. I just wanted to test whether your superpowers had deteriorated, and you turned it into a conspiracy theory. I feel so wronged."

"You've been wronged, Your Excellency Shu Xubai. Has our young prince wronged you?" Elder Anlia, holding a glass of red wine, approached with members of the Elder Council and the Council of Elders. She took over Shu Xubai's words and turned to Jiang Si, saying in a deep voice, "Young prince, the Fourth Civilization is a country worthy of our learning. Their richest man and great shaman came to our country to bring new civilization to our nation. Your disrespect towards him disregards the diplomatic relations between our two countries and is truly excessive."

Shu Xubai curled his lips, leaned back on the sofa, swirled his wine, and looked at Elder Anlia with a half-smile, echoing, "This beautiful lady is right. Your Highness of the Troya Empire, my family's Great Shaman and I came to the Troya Empire to seek cooperation between our two countries, so that the Troya Empire can shine like the Fourth Civilization. Your attitude now really makes me quite sad."

"Your Highness, why don't you quickly apologize to Lord Shu Xubai and beg for his forgiveness so that he won't hold it against you?" Seeing that Jiang Si was staring at her wine glass without saying a word, An Liya completely forgot that she had suffered a loss at Jiang Si's hands before. No, she attributed the loss she suffered to Bo Jichen, because she suffered a loss because of him. Now that only this little girl was left, she brought people from the Elder Council and the Council of Councilors with her. She didn't believe that she couldn't handle a little girl.

Jiang Si downed the rest of the liquor in one gulp, a blush rising to her cheeks. She lifted her eyelids, her whole demeanor cold and arrogant: "Auntie, who are you talking to? I'll give you one more chance. Rearrange what you just said."
