As the owner of the world's largest black market, the "Beautiful Snake" naturally wouldn't drink anything ordinary.
Although I was so drunk that I had no memory of the previous night, I didn't have a headache or stomach discomfort when I sobered up.
Fine wine and nectar, that must be it.
Although the alcohol we drank didn't have a strong aftereffect, I still drank quite a lot, and I was still a bit groggy when I woke up.
I recalled what had happened and all I remembered was chatting and drinking with the beautiful snake.
My last memory is of the snake woman telling me when we arrived at the banyan tree that she had transported it from Guizhou when she founded Fengmen Village, and that she had spent tens of millions of yuan to ensure it could survive underground.
I have absolutely no recollection of the conversation that followed.
Before we started drinking, the serpentine woman said that as long as I drank with her, she would guarantee the safety of my friends and send us out of Fengmen Village.
I sat up in bed and looked around at my surroundings.
This is a very modern room, it looks like a hotel somewhere.
Could it be that I was sent out of Fengmen Village after I got drunk?
Looking around, there was nothing in sight. All the things that were taken away when I entered Fengmen Village were gone.
Worried about Jiang Man and the others, I went outside after getting up to find out what was going on with me.
As soon as I stepped out, the two girls guarding the door bowed to me at the same time: "Young Master, you're awake!"
"Young Master?"
I pinched my cheek, and after feeling the pain, I looked at the two people curiously and asked, "Where is this place? Why are you calling me that?"
"Young master, this is your bedroom. You were brought here after you got drunk."
A girl explained to me, smiling gently, "Now that you're awake, I'll help you bathe and change."
"etc!"
Seeing their movement, I immediately took a step back, staring blankly at the two of them: "What do you mean by 'palace'? Where is this? Are we still in Fengmen Village?"
The girl replied respectfully, "Of course, this is the backyard of the Forbidden City, a residence specially prepared for you by the Madam. No one else has ever lived here except you."
The more I listened, the more confused I became: "You said this is the forbidden palace of Fengmen Village, then who is this lady you're talking about? Is she the beautiful snake? If she is the lady, then how did I become the young master?"
The other girl shook her head: "I don't know about that. We were just following orders. When you were brought here, all we knew was that you were the young master of Fengmen Village and that we were sent here to serve you."
"This is such a mess!"
I tried to recall what happened last night, but I couldn't remember what had happened between me and the snake woman.
But through the introduction of the two maids, I seemed to have inexplicably become their son?
What kind of logic is that?!
Although I know that this woman's child was killed by Duan Jinyan back then, she can't just let her maternal love run wild and call everyone she meets her son!
Although the beautiful snake woman is powerful and influential, I, Duan Shenxing, am no less so!
Why should this woman unilaterally lower my seniority?
Thinking of this, I asked the maids, "Besides asking you to take care of me, does the snake beauty have any other instructions?"
The girl shook her head: "You were not sent by the madam, so our only instruction is to serve you well. My name is Weiyang, and her name is Weiai... From today onwards, you are our master. Even if it costs us our lives, we won't blink an eye."
"What kind of mess is this! It's the 21st century, how come it's like the old society, still involving selling oneself into slavery?"
I waved to the two girls: "I don't need anything. Can I leave now?"
"Of course you can. As maids, we have no right to stop you."
Wei Yang nodded to me: "However, young master, the Forbidden Palace is strictly hierarchical. If you go to places you shouldn't go, even if you are a day and night wandering god or a black and white impermanence, you will be killed. Since you are new here and don't know the rules, it's best not to wander around! Fengmen Village is a rigid place, and the rules are the law here. If you break the rules, you may get into trouble."
After listening to Wei Yang's explanation, and thinking of Leopard Tail who died tragically for breaking the rules, I nodded: "Did the person who brought me here leave any other words?"
Wei Ai replied, "Yes! He said that we sisters should take good care of you, and if you wake up, we should immediately inform the madam."
I sighed: "Then tell the serpent beauty that I've woken up and want to see her."
"Yes, young master, I will go and inform them right away."
Wei Ai agreed, then asked in a humble tone, "You drank so much last night, your stomach must be upset now, right? Should I tell the kitchen to make you some breakfast or hangover soup?"
After she said that, I actually started to feel a bit hungry, so I casually waved my hand and said, "You guys do whatever you want."
After I finished speaking, I went back to my room.
I drank so much last night that I was definitely reeking of alcohol, so I went to the shower alone.
When I went out, the restaurant table was already full of breakfast.
Looking at the breakfast with at least dozens of dishes, I was a little dumbfounded: "Isn't this breakfast a bit too extravagant? Are you trying to prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"
"Young Master, your dining standards are based on Madam's standards, which is the highest standard in Fengmen Village. Even the Ten Great Ghost Messengers cannot enjoy this treatment."
Wei Yang explained to me, "You have a very high status in Fengmen Village. Even Wei Ai and I, who were sent to your side, were promoted from seventh-class servants to second-class servants."
Seeing that Wei Yang was somewhat agitated, I asked with a puzzled look, "Why would you, so young, come to a place like Fengmen Village to sell yourselves into slavery?"
"Life is unpredictable. Everyone in this world has some unique experiences. For us, this is already a good ending."
Wei Ai did not explain the reason: "We are very satisfied with our life in Fengmen Village, and we sincerely want to stay here to serve Fengmen Village."
"baffling."
Although I felt this way of eating was a bit wasteful, I was indeed hungry, so I sat down at the table and beckoned to them: "Come on, let's eat together!"
Wei Yang stood respectfully to the side: "Young Master, this is unacceptable! I've said it before, in Fengmen Village, rules are law. If we eat with you, it would be a fatal sin."
"Whatever you want."
I haven't even figured out my own situation yet, so naturally I'm not in the mood to ask them anything. I just started eating.
When I was about half full, I suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside, followed by the snake-woman's voice: "I heard my son woke up, where is he?"
