Chapter 16 Full Meal

Mu Xi shook her head, and only when she opened her mouth did she realize that her tongue was too big: "You are committing a sin. You are ruining the monkey's child."

"Ah, hahaha...it seems the young master is still not satisfied..." Qi Erniang's smile remained unchanged, completely disregarding the "wicked" words, and instead glanced at Mu Xun, "Hahaha...hahaha, in my humble opinion, if the young master wants to choose someone satisfactory tonight, he'll have to get rid of the person beside you. With such a handsome and talented man by his side, not only is he unmatched in my little brothel, but how many people in the entire Moyang City could surpass him?"

"What a sin, what a sin, what a sin..." Mu Xi was so confused that she didn't hear the second half of Qi Erniang's words clearly, and wandered off to find wine.

Mu Xun was about to quietly move the wine pot away, but he quickly went to help Mu Xi, who almost fell off the table: "Your Highness, please don't drink anymore. Too much wine is bad for your health. Why don't we stop here for tonight and go back?"

"Go back? Not go back? I won't go back unless..." Mu Xi looked up and met Mu Xun's calm and clear eyes, and her heart fluttered, "unless you stay with me until we're drunk."

The words that came out jolted him awake. He shoved Mu Xun away, feeling annoyed.

He got drunk and acted recklessly, speaking without restraint.

No matter how much you hate your younger brother, he's still your younger brother. You can suppress him, reject him, or even treat him with contempt, but you can't mess with him.

Mu Xi, hiding her face with alcohol, dared not look at Mu Xun's reaction.

After a long silence, Mu Xun's voice was heard again, but Qi Erniang's smiling face appeared once more: "Hahaha... It seems the young master truly looks down on everyone. No matter, no matter... Since you can't relieve the young master's worries, then the young master can just drink to his heart's content tonight, and blame it all on me, hahaha..."

"What...what do you mean?" Mu Xi felt a momentary pleasure after drinking the iced wine, but immediately afterward, her head throbbed and her heart burned.

"Hahaha, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I've always wanted to invite someone like you, Your Highness, but even an eight-bearer sedan chair wouldn't be enough. Your Highness is probably drunk. If you really don't have anyone you're satisfied with, you might as well rest here... Hahaha..." Qi Erniang flattered her.

But to Mu Xi's ears, it sounded like she was dismissing someone: "Who...who do you look down on? Tonight I will choose one, I will choose one, I must..."

A figure flickered in front of her. Mu Xi raised three fingers, or perhaps just one finger pointing randomly, and suddenly she caught sight of a big, chubby head clinging to the door frame, peering in her direction.

"That...who is that? That one..." Although Mu Xi was already drunk and drowsy, she could still tell from the outline that the person peeking out was a boy whose physique was no less than that of an adult man.

"Which one?" Qi Erniang turned around and saw it, then quickly waved her hand, "Hahaha... that one is no good, young master, that one isn't very bright, she can't serve you, hahaha... she can't serve you."

"Not quite right in the head? Can you pour wine? If you can, that's fine." Mu Xi had already decided that she couldn't leave empty-handed tonight. "Have him come and pour me some wine."

"Ah, hahaha, Your Highness, I would never dare to lie to you. He... he's a worthless wretch. How could he be worthy to pour wine for Your Highness?" As she spoke, Qi Erniang stepped forward to pour wine for Mu Xi.

Mu Xi reached out to stop him, and as she looked up, she met a pair of large, round eyes. Those eyes did indeed reveal a naive and innocent quality, and they were staring at her intently, seemingly looking at something.

So Mu Xi beckoned: "Come here, what are you looking at?"

The copper bell-shaped creature, with its big, silly eyes, seemed unable to distinguish between high and low, noble and common. Upon being summoned, it eagerly entered.

"How old are you? What's your name?" Mu Xi squinted her drunken eyes, and when she got close, she was still a double image.

At least the outline is clearly visible.

He was tall and muscular, almost an adult, but his chubby head topped his large, strong body, so he was probably only thirteen or fourteen years old at most.

As soon as Tongling Da Yan entered, he stood close to the octagonal table, his hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, his lips pressed tightly together, staring intently at Mu Xi's hand, not answering a word, as if he was trying hard to restrain himself.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Mu Xi asked again, still half asleep.

The boy's eyes remained fixed, as if he hadn't heard, and he only swallowed hard twice.

Qi Erniang had no choice but to answer for him: "Ah, hahaha... Young Master, he doesn't have a name. Because all he knows is eating, he's given the nickname 'Full Rice.' You see, I already told you, he's not very bright and can't even answer a single question. So we've replaced him with someone else to serve him, hahaha."

"Baofan" was dressed in a gray short-sleeved outfit, not coarse cloth but fine cotton. His clothes and hands were very clean, and he didn't look like a servant who did rough work.

As Qi Erniang spoke, she tried to pull the person away, but she couldn't budge them.

Completely unaware of his "full meal," his eyes shone brightly, fixed on one spot.

Mu Xi followed "Full Meal's" gaze downwards: "Are you looking at the ice?"

Finally, "Full Meal" showed a noticeable reaction for the first time, nodding emphatically.

"Never seen ice before?" Mu Xi asked again.

"Full of food" nodded again.

"Do you want some ice cream?"

"I want to." Finally, the word "full" popped out of "full".

"Haha, you're not mute." Mu Xi laughed foolishly after getting drunk.

What's delicious about ice?

However, when Mu Xi regained consciousness just now, she also realized that ice might indeed be a rare thing in this ancient time and space.

This place is known as the "Flame Rising Continent," an island surrounded by the sea. Even in the coldest season, it rarely snows, and the water never freezes.

So he teased "Full Meal": "Very good, pour me a glass of wine first, and I'll give you ice to eat."

"Baofan's" eyes lit up. He walked around to the front, picked up the wine pot, and poured the wine into the wine bowl next to Muxi.

In order to drink the ice wine, Mu Xi had long since switched from wine glasses to wine bowls, and now the crushed ice in the wine bowls had melted down to the size of soybeans.

There wasn't much wine left in the pot, and even after emptying the pot, the wine bowls weren't filled.

"Full of food" became impatient and went to retrieve the unopened wine jar next to him.

"Isn't that silly?" Mu Xi suddenly found it amusing. "No need to pour wine, let's go eat some ice cream."

Having received permission, "Baofan" immediately set aside the wine jar, bent down, and pressed his face against the gilded lotus bowl filled with ice.

After examining it for a moment, he carefully reached out and picked up the topmost piece from the half-melted iceberg, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with a "crunch, crunch".

"Is it delicious?" Mu Xi wanted to tease the child.

"Cold." The blank-faced boy looked puzzled, probably because he couldn't taste what it was.

Mu Xi picked up the wine bowl and looked for a mouth to drink, but couldn't find one after a long time. Feeling embarrassed and bored, he poured all the wine in the bowl onto the iceberg and said to "Bao Fan", "Try it again this time."
