Lu Xingchen understood.

Master Babu probably knew this treasure wasn't his; he was just greedy and afraid Lu Xingchen would try to steal it!

Never mind, let him have it!

By this time, Master Babu had drunk nine jars of wine, his stomach was so round that he was burping.

Moreover, he had an unusual reaction.

His face was red, and he kept sticking out his tongue like a dog, and he even pulled open his clothes to let in some air.

Actions became increasingly sluggish.

He slowly picked up the last jar of wine, as if in slow motion, waiting for a long time before bringing it to his lips, and then: "Glug... glug..."

He drank it slowly.

After drinking half of it, she turned to Lu Xingchen and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Baby—is—mine—..."

It took him about half a minute to say these words.

Lu Xingchen: ...

This wine is weird!

Judging from this style, it is definitely Master Lingguang, no one else!

It took Master Babu an hour to drink the last jar of wine.

Finally, the last jar of wine was finished, and with a rumble, a door appeared on the stone wall.

Master Babu was overjoyed and said slowly, "Mine—mine—mine!"

Lanlan couldn't wait any longer and rushed in first.

Then it flew out and said happily, "Little Lu, Little Lu, there's a treasure chest inside! Hurry up and open it!"

Master Babu's movements were unusually slow; it took him ages to take a single step. He grew impatient: "No... you're not allowed!"

Lan Lan was very arrogant: "Xiao Lu, go, grab the treasure and run away, Old Babu can't catch up!"

Master Babu was both anxious and angry, sweating profusely: "You... dare!"

He struggled to lift his leg, which took a minute.

Lu Xingchen did not intend to do that.

She was afraid of upsetting Master Babu.

This old man has a bad temper. Don’t let him get so angry that he has a heart attack.

Lu Xingchen comforted him: "Master Babu, take your time, we won't rush you!"

Master Babu: "Hiccup, I guess... you..."

His eyes remained fixed, unable to utter a final word, his raised foot dangling in mid-air, motionless.

Lu Xingchen was startled.

Even if it was slow motion just now, it shouldn't be still, right?

She raised her hand and touched Master Babu's nose, but found that Master Babu was no longer breathing.

Lu Xingchen was startled.

Could he be dead?

No, Master Lingguang’s wine is too strong, and it has been stored for more than ten years, so it is probably poisonous.

She was pacing anxiously when she suddenly remembered the high-grade purification pill she had just obtained.

Master Babu's current condition means that he has accumulated a lot of negative effects. Try using the purification pill!

She immediately took out a pill, the small red pill spun around in her palm, emitting an enticing fragrance.

Lanlan shouted, "Hey, hey, this is good stuff! I want to eat it!"

Lu Xingchen: "Get out of here, why are you taking medicine if you're not sick?"

After saying that, she stuffed it into Master Babu's mouth with great effort.

Lanlan's mouth watered, and she kept muttering, "Why give it to him? What a waste!"

Lu Xingchen was surprised. She thought that Lanlan might have a special intuition about various fruits and elixirs and could tell their rarity.

Judging from its distressed expression, the Purification Pill must be a good thing.

After waiting a few minutes, Master Babu shouted, "This treasure is mine! Lu Xingchen, you're not allowed to take it!"

He dashed off like an arrow released from a bow.

Then, he opened the treasure chest and hurriedly took out a tattered notebook from it.

Master Babu was a little disappointed. He picked up the box and searched it thoroughly: "Only a tattered book?"

Lu Xingchen: !!!

It’s over!

I have something to do tomorrow and won't be able to update. I'll be taking a day off. Please check back the day after tomorrow, mwah!
