To preserve the human race from extinction, the government mass-produced test-tube babies through artificial insemination. She herself was a test-tube baby, born of unknown biological parents.
After transmigrating to the Canglong Continent, she became ’Yue Jinghua’. Perhaps out of guilt for ’Yue Jinghua’, she had long resolved to protect the family of the deceased "Yue Jinghua".
Yue Jinghua had made up her mind to sever ties with Lie Family Mansion. If there was someone she worried about most in this process, it was Lie Rou.
Because Feng Wanwan had been overexerted by Alchemy in her early years, Lie Rou was born weak. Moreover, after Yue Nian’s disappearance, Lie Rou had to flee to the Shang Kingdom with her twins. Her health deteriorated further during this journey.
After Yue Jinghua learned Alchemy, she also tried to use Elixir Pills to take care of Lie Rou, but taking them directly was too intense and could even backfire on her body.
Lie Rou liked to read some Buddhist Handbooks. If she could mix in the Nine Turtle Technique with her scriptures and nourish her health slowly, perhaps there would be unexpected miraculous results.
"So it seems, this Dark Technique is quite ingenious. I have you to thank for this time," Yue Jinghua understood in her heart.
While Evil Jade Young Master was speaking, he sniffed and said, "Hey, why do I smell a fragrance of alcohol?"
"You’ve come at a fortunate time. A few days ago, I was inspired while practicing Alchemy and made a pot of century-old Osmanthus Brew. Why not give it a try?" Yue Jinghua didn’t hide it and got up to get a pot of liquor and several plates of fruit, presenting them before Evil Jade Young Master.
Having learned from the lesson of the "Durian Pill," Evil Jade Young Master would rather die than touch anything Yue Jinghua offered again.
He narrowed his peach blossom eyes, looking somewhat envious, "Century-old Osmanthus Brew, don’t think I don’t know, Fa Xiaoyi’s favorite drink is Osmanthus Brew. Do you really aspire to be Queen Fa?"
"What do you think?" Yue Jinghua poured herself a cup of wine and said indifferently, "It’s either a blessing or a disaster; a disaster that cannot be avoided."
"Let me be clear, we may have a bit of affinity, but friends are friends, and brothers are brothers. I will never tell you that kid’s secrets," Evil Jade Young Master grumbled, but his eyes remained glued on Yue Jinghua’s wine-pouring hand.
Yue Jinghua didn’t press him, just raised the wine bottle and gently shook it. A bewitching aroma wafted through the air.
This was a strong liquor; just the smell of it was pungent and spicy, making one’s eyes water and sting.
If there was anything in Polo City that Evil Jade Young Master was dissatisfied with, it was the liquor.
The citizens of Polo City liked to drink tea, and when it came to liquor, they preferred milder flavors. Evil Jade Young Master, on the other hand, adored strong drinks.
This had to do with the Dark Techniques he cultivated. Evil Jade Young Master practiced yin and soft Cultivation Techniques, so his body tended to be colder, and thus he had an especially strong demand for strong liquors.
The reason he became friends with Fa Xiaoyi was that there was a wine maker who was particularly skilled at making strong liquor in Fa Xiaoyi’s mansion.
The wine in Yue Jinghua’s hand had such a fragrant aroma just by its scent. Looking at the color, it was like amber, and the most peculiar thing was that the liquid didn’t slosh around as Yue Jinghua shook her wrist.
"What kind of wine is this?" Evil Jade Young Master finally couldn’t resist and drank it down, only to feel a cool liquid slide down his throat.
No sooner had the drink hit his stomach, Evil Jade Young Master felt a burning sensation rise in his belly, his head started to spin, and his tongue began to tie up, "Good wine, just, too strong."
He burped from the liquor, and the next moment, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"To drink in one gulp the 100% pure alcohol extracted repeatedly with Dun Qinglian Fire, tsk, and yet you call yourself the King of Assassins," Yue Jinghua kicked Evil Jade Young Master lightly, then called out to the courtyard, "Hongling, is everything ready?"
Hongling entered with her head bowed from outside the door, coughed a few times upon seeing the "drunkard" on the ground, "Everything is ready, Miss. Just, doing this to Evil Jade Young Master, in case he wakes up and finds out, I’m afraid he might..."
"What’s there to be afraid of, he won’t lose a piece of flesh. It’s getting late, we should also get ready for tomorrow’s lake tour," Yue Jinghua deftly packed up the Osmanthus Brew.
Ancient liquor was nothing; only the pure alcohol distilled with Chaos Green Lotus Fire could be called real liquor.
Having swallowed 100% pure alcohol in one gulp, even if his Cultivation was substantial, Evil Jade Young Master would remain drunk for a whole night.
This one night was enough for Yue Jinghua to do many things, for instance, enjoying a lake tour and talking about "affection."
