"Why is Luo Mingxuan so unreliable? What were you two doing in the winery? How did one of you get attacked and the other one disappear?"
Yue Ling expressed her deep disdain for Luo Mingxuan.
"Mingxuan thought something was wrong with Manyue Winery and insisted on sneaking in to investigate. I was afraid something might happen to him, so I followed him in. Not long after we entered, he was confronted by a cloaked figure. I wanted to follow him, but the villagers suddenly appeared. I don't remember much of what happened next. All I remember is someone pouring me wine."
Ruan Xueer forced an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry to have to trouble you for my help."
"It was Wen Xi who saved you, and we didn't even run into you."
"Huh? Why do I remember... there's a man's face..."
Ruan Xueer pressed her brows and said weakly, "There's really something wrong with the wine here."
“There is a problem.”
Wen Xi grabbed her arm and took a closer look. Under the sunlight, the little bugs on her arm were almost invisible.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a trick of the fox spirit. Something is sucking your energy!"
Wen Xi's eyes shone. "Those ghosts wearing cloaks are as numerous as bugs. We can't kill them all."
"Sister Wen Xi, please save Luo Mingxuan. Before I left, my mother told me to take good care of him. If anything happens to him, the family will definitely..."
Ruan Xueer smiled bitterly, it was obvious that her family was not very harmonious.
[Oh my god! This is the first time I've heard of such a thing as a fox spirit. Not to mention, she's quite pretty, worthy of being a fox spirit!]
[I'm so scared! I think I once drank the fruit wine produced in Maner Village. This stuff can suck people's energy and spirit. It's so scary. Is there no one to control it?]
What if this stuff gets into the market? Won't it cause panic?
Feeling the ancient copper coin burning again, Wen Xi muttered silently, "A love affair that ends without a result will only affect the speed of your cultivation. Don't get a fever here."
"Little sister, what are you talking about?"
Wen Jinyu scratched his ears, not hearing clearly.
"Nothing! Of course we have to catch that guy, otherwise he would think he is so capable."
Wen Xi put on a cold smile, walked to the door, raised his leg and kicked it open.
A loud bang startled everyone in the winery.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Mei, with shifty eyes, ran out, and stopped the moment he saw Wen Xi. His face was full of horror, and he subconsciously wanted to run back.
"Zou Zheng, stop him!"
Wen Xi called out coldly.
Zou Zheng floated out of the ancient bronze coin, exuding the aura of an emperor. With a wave of his long sleeves, a dark barrier blocked his way.
“Chirp, chirp!”
He was so anxious that he bent over and made rat-like sounds.
Wen Xi said with a half-smile, "Little mouse, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Where's that momentum you had when you poured wine just now? Keep showing it off!"
"Hee hee hee! I don't know anything. Are you mistaken? I, I didn't force anyone to drink!"
Mouse Mei's eyes were vague and he shook his head desperately to deny it.
"Little Illusion, do you think we are ordinary sorcerers? Hurry up and call out your boss Zhou, otherwise I will set fire to your Manyue Winery."
Wen Xi flicked his fingertips, a ray of golden fire flashed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
The mouse demon was sweating profusely, and the chirping sound became louder. He was spinning around in the dark barrier in a panic.
"Little sister, calm down!"
Wen Jinyu grabbed her arm and pretended to stop her.
"Hurry up and go!"
With just a glance from Wen Xi, Zou Zheng removed the barrier, and the mouse spirit immediately jumped back to inform the enemy.
"This is..."
Ruan Xueer was supported by Yue Ling as she walked into the winery. The moment she saw Zou Zheng, she froze in place, her eyes wide open, and she felt a vague sense of familiarity.
"Zou Zheng, the ghost warrior who will stay with me for the time being."
Wen Xi said calmly, "He was the one who protected you in the wine cellar before."
Ruan Xueer was surprised and asked, "Really? Thank you so much."
Ruan Xueer thanked Zou Zheng but did not dare to get closer. No matter how many Xuanling Masters were around her, even if Zou Zheng saved her, she was still afraid of ghosts in her heart.
"Um."
Zou Zheng snorted lightly and said "hmm" in a slightly arrogant manner.
He then secretly pulled Wen Xi to the side and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing? Didn't you ask me to be low-key?"
"Tsk, I'll give you a chance so you don't have to keep releasing heat to me in the ancient copper coins. My skin is quite delicate and can't withstand such scorching temperatures!"
Wen Xi said disdainfully, "You better look carefully and see whether she will accept you as her king!"
Zou Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Dear guests, what's going on? Are you going to come here to brew wine so early in the morning?"
Hu Bo rushed out of the winery with a bright smile on his face.
"Uncle Hu, why are you here too?"
Yue Ling deliberately asked, "Are you staying at the winery instead of going home to sleep?"
"I was busy making a new batch of fruit wine yesterday, so I've been at the winery and haven't gone back yet."
Hu Bo continued to smile and said in a complimenting manner.
"The person we want to see is Boss Zhou. Is she afraid to show up?"
Wen Xi smiled, pointed, and calmly instructed, "Alright, no more fire, change it. Zou Zheng, smash all their wine jars for me!"
"good!"
Zou Zheng waved his long sleeves, and the nearby wine jars rose collectively.
Bang bang bang!
All the wine jars were smashed to the ground, the rich aroma of wine floated in the air, and the fruit wine spread on the ground, looking bloody.
"Oh my! This is the wine we worked so hard to brew, how can you just destroy it like that? Damn it!"
Uncle Huber jumped up and down with a smile on his face.
"If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh!"
Wen Xi snorted lightly, flicked his fingers, and the golden flame instantly ignited the fruit wine on the ground.
Click, click!
Sparks fell on the wine, and the transparent little bugs didn't even have a chance to escape and turned into roasted bugs.
"These are my spirit insects, they are my treasures, how dare you kill them!"
Angry roars were accompanied by a gust of wind. Yue Ling and others were blown away by the wind and had to hold on to the pillars to avoid being blown away. Hu Bo was directly thrown against the wall and fell to the ground without moving. Only Wen Xi stood firmly in place.
The fox's tail swung over, Wen Xi grabbed it, pulled it hard, and threw her to the ground, knocking her unconscious.
"Ah! How can there be someone like you? You can't even be fooled by magic, your fighting ability is off the charts, and you don't even know what it means to be gentle with women. It really makes me so angry!"
