"Okay, that's all for now. I'm going home to pack my things. Let's meet downstairs in our department building later. The train tickets Lao Yu bought for us are still in the office; we didn't pick them up earlier."
Looking at the time on her phone, Yue Jiuling realized they couldn't continue chatting. Their last train departure time was 10:30 PM, and it was already almost 9 PM. Going back to pack their things and get their tickets would take time, so they couldn't dawdle any longer or they would miss their train.
When Yue Jiuling returned home, the house looked like it had just finished a concert or some kind of performance. There was trash and clothes and furniture lying all over the floor. Not only was there trash, but there were also several "troublemakers" lying on the floor.
Oh, and the whole room reeked of alcohol, and judging from the smell, the alcohol they were drinking wasn't ordinary; it was some kind of ancient wine that had been around for centuries.
As soon as Yue Jiuling saw the people lying on the ground, she went up and kicked each of them, angrily yelling, "Hey, what are you doing? My god~ Yue Jiuling, Yue Jiuyue! You have three seconds to restore your house to its original state!"
She grabbed Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing by the collar, lifted them up, and yelled, "Damn it, I haven't drunk alcohol for over a thousand years! I even said I'd quit drinking last time! You guys, drinking is one thing, but drinking so heavily, and you even dragged Jiu Nian, Jiu Zai, and Jiu Jie into it! Don't you think you deserve to be beaten?!"
Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue were actually completely drunk, but they became a little more sober after being scolded by Yue Jiuling. When they heard Yue Jiuling's angry voice, they immediately used magic to clean up the house and then obediently brought out the remaining wine to please Yue Jiuling.
Yue Jiuxing hiccuped as he said, "Hiccup~ Jiuling, Jiuling, you're back! Here, this wine smells amazing, I saved it especially for you~"
Yue Jiuyue turned to look at Yue Jiuling and said, "That's right, Jiuling, don't be angry~ We haven't had a drink in so long, we just wanted to have a little to play with. Here, want a sip of this? Burp~"
Yue Jiu Nian, who was sleeping on the other side, also woke up a little. She got up from the ground, wanting to talk to Yue Jiu Ling, but she rolled over and landed on top of Yue Jiu Jie. She said to Yue Jiu Jie while she was on top of him, "Jiu Ling, you're back~"
Half-asleep, Yue Jiujie, who was being pinned down, kicked Yue Jiunian away forcefully, then rolled over and continued sleeping. Yue Jiunian, who had been kicked away, then rolled over again and pinned Yue Jiuzai, who was lying on the ground.
Yue Jiuzai was probably quite drunk, as he didn't wake up even when being held down like this. Yue Jiuling couldn't stand it anymore, so she went over and pushed Yue Jiunian aside, then took the wine jar from Yue Jiuxing's hand and said, "I'm really fed up with you guys. If you're going to continue like this, then you might as well come with me on this business trip again."
As she spoke, she tore open the seal of the wine jar and took a sip of wine.
"Huh? It's Old Peach Fairy's peach blossom wine! That's a taste I haven't had in ages!"
The wine they were drinking was not from the human realm; Yue Jiuling knew it was from the demon realm after just one sip.
This peach blossom wine jar was made in an ordinary wine jar, but the seal was sealed with several bright peach blossom petals. Yue Jiuling remembered this mark; it was wine from a famous tavern in the demon realm, and the winemaker was a very old peach tree demon.
Just as Yue Jiuling was drinking, she suddenly saw a red petal mark next to the wine jar, and she immediately became furious!
"Yue Jiuxing, Yue Jiuyue! Get up, you bastards! Did you go steal wine? I told you to drink, fine, but you actually stole wine?! Where's your money?!"
When Yue Jiuling saw the red petal mark, she knew that the peach blossom wine was not something they bought from the demon realm, but something they stole.
The old peach tree spirit's wine is always marked because it tastes so good that people used to steal it. So, to prevent theft, the old peach tree spirit used his unique magic to make a mark on the wine jar when brewing the wine.
If the wine is sold, the mark will be erased. If it's stolen, the tavern owner can track it down by following the mark's scent. Even if you finish the wine and throw away the jar, you'll still be tracked down because the mark is directly attached to the wine thief.
So, when Yue Jiuling saw that mark, she was really furious!
