Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 91: Chapter 90 Li Miaozhen of the White Tiger Lineage

The shopkeeper was somewhat at a loss for words.

Although it was true that his establishment was a tavern, he couldn’t just take any customer’s money. If a young girl ended up getting drunk here, even if her family didn’t come to trouble him, the rumors wouldn’t sound good.

Just as he was feeling troubled, he saw another woman walk in from the entrance.

Not only was this woman extremely beautiful and tall, but she was also significantly taller than most men, with long and straight legs that made a swishing sound as she walked.

She exuded a vigorous heroism unlike the usual softness of other women; there was even a hint of fierceness in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Qin Feng glanced at her a few times, admiring such a rare temperament in a woman.

...

However, he didn’t dare look too long because he realized he couldn’t quite see through her cultivation.

That was normal; he had just reached the late stage of Qi Refinement, and his vision was limited. Moreover, casually projecting Divine Sense to inspect others was frowned upon and could easily cause dissatisfaction, so of course, he couldn’t determine her cultivation level.

“Luoluo, are you being mischievous again?”

Li Miaozhen’s face showed a hint of helplessness as she quickly approached, poking the little girl’s head with her finger: “Don’t be naughty, what are you doing drinking wine as a child?”

“Why can’t children drink wine?”

The little girl named Luoluo protested, “Daddy can drink, mommy can drink, and you, senior sister, often drink too. Why can’t I drink?”

“You’re still young, you can’t drink this Spiritual Wine, wait until you’re grown up.”

Li Miaozhen felt a headache coming on.

Fighting and battling were no problem for her, but dealing with kids, especially her younger apprentice sister who was at an age bursting with curiosity about the world, had been quite the handful these last few days.

Li Miaozhen sat her little apprentice sister down at a nearby table and ordered several dishes of Spiritual Meals that the child usually enjoyed.

Little Luoluo pouted with her tender lips, puffing up her cheeks, seemingly quite displeased. @@novelbin@@

Her curiosity was strong; she had grown interested in Spiritual Wine because she had seen her father drinking quite often. However, she was too young, and the adults naturally wouldn’t let her have any.

Today, seizing the chance while her senior sister took her out, she sneaked away hoping to taste Spiritual Wine, and remembered to order a dish of Fennel Peas as a snack like her old man would in the tavern.

Unfortunately, before she could succeed, she got caught red-handed by her senior sister.

The little girl, with her feet dangling, sat uneasily on the stool wriggling around and looked around the tavern. Her eyes lit up as she saw Qin Feng at the next table taking a swig of Spiritual Wine.

Qin Feng had just put down his cup when he noticed the little girl staring intently at the wine pot on his table with shining eyes.

Seeing her look, Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle and asked her, “Little sister, do you really want to try some wine?”

“Uh-huh, uh-huh!”

Luoluo nodded, “Daddy says real men must drink wine, and I want to be a great hero like daddy, which obviously means drinking with a big bowl and eating meat in big bites.

Big brother, can you treat me to some wine?”

“Hehe…”

Qin Feng laughed lightly, noticing that the child was heavily influenced by her father.

He glanced at the woman sitting beside Luoluo, thought for a moment, then said with a smile, “It’s not impossible for me to treat you to some wine. However, do you know there are different grades to this drink?”

“Ah?”

Luoluo had no idea and shook her little head honestly, “I don’t know.”

“Ordinary Spiritual Wine, although each has its benefits, is sharp to the taste. Such is considered low-grade and not suitable for you to drink. Only the finest Jadescent Nectar, which is sweet and refreshing, is the real fine wine of this world.

However, this wine is extremely rare; I just happen to have a bit of it. If you really want to try, I wouldn’t mind letting you taste it.”

“Really?”

The little girl immediately became excited, slid off the stool, and dashed to Qin Feng’s side, her bright eyes curving into crescents, “Jadescent Nectar, I’ve heard my daddy mention it—that’s Immortal Wine! Even daddy has never had it. Big brother, are you really going to treat me to such Immortal Wine?”

Li Miaozhen furrowed her brows slightly, looking towards Qin Feng.

The young man wouldn’t really dare to give his little apprentice sister wine, would he?

However, although she and Luoluo were not wearing the Sect’s Magic Robes, the sleeves of their clothes bore the mark of the Beast Taming Sect, so she believed the young man must have seen it. Thus, she wasn’t too worried about him having any ill intentions.

Qin Feng responded to her gaze with a slight smile, signaling there would be no issue, and then he reached out and retrieved a large bowl from an empty table nearby.

He said to Luoluo, “Since you want to drink from a big bowl, then I shall fulfill your wish.”

As they spoke, he quietly played an Eye-Blocking Technique on Luoluo. In a place out of the little girl’s sight, he took out several Ice Spirit Fruits and a few Red Mountain Fruits. Under the pressure of his True Yuan, he directly squeezed the juice into a bowl, then took out a porcelain bottle and poured some honey into the bowl, stirring until it was evenly mixed.

Whether it was Spirit Fruit or honey, he had obtained them both in the Mist Swamp. Since Spirit Fruits contained little Spiritual Energy and were not valuable, he hadn’t sold them. As for the honey, he had taken the opportunity to fill a bottle when he was harvesting a Demon Bee’s hive, intending to bring it back as a gift for Qin Xi.

The honey produced by Demon Bees contained a fair amount of Spiritual Energy and was one of the main ingredients in making Beauty Pills, making it very popular among female cultivators.

While his Eye-Blocking Technique had deceived Luoluo, he had not purposely hidden his actions from Li Miaozhen. In fact, he had even made sure she could see everything clearly to avoid any suspicion of having sinister intentions.

Sure enough, upon seeing his actions, Li Miaozhen didn’t interfere. Instead, she watched with interest.

Her own little Junior Sister could be a headache when she was being mischievous, and now that she wasn’t clinging to her demanding alcohol, of course, she would not expose Qin Feng’s Eye-Blocking Technique.

After the fruit juice and Spiritual Honey were mixed, Qin Feng placed the bowl on the table next to him, “Here, taste this. Is it good or not?”

Luoluo hopped onto a stool, sat properly, and held the bowl with her chubby little hands, mimicking the bold manner in which her father drank alcohol. After taking a sip, she immediately found this ‘Jadescent Nectar’ to taste sour, sweet, cold, and refreshing, which was very pleasant, and she instantly grinned from ear to ear.

After drinking a few more sips, she asked with slight curiosity, “Why does this Jadescent Nectar smell a bit different from those Spiritual Wines father has?”

“This is Jadescent Nectar, of course, it’s very different from ordinary Spirits,” replied Qin Feng with a smile.

He smiled, took another cup, poured her a cup of Spiritual Wine, and laughed, “Try this and you’ll know the huge difference between ordinary Spiritual Wine and Jadescent Nectar.”

Luoluo took the cup with a puzzled hand, sniffed it, and it seemed to smell much like her father’s Spiritual Wine. She tentatively took a sip and immediately felt a sharp, spicy taste spread in her mouth. With a “pfft,” she spat it out.

“This Spiritual Wine is way too hard to drink, right?”

She quickly picked up the large bowl and drank two mouthfuls of ‘Jadescent Nectar’ to suppress the spicy taste in her mouth before feeling much better.

“I never thought father would drink such awful-tasting Spirits. I used to think they were delicious, but they are far inferior to this Jadescent Nectar.

Hmph, father said he never had Jadescent Nectar. When I get back, I will definitely boast about it in front of father.”

The little girl looked proud, and Qin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle.

Li Miaozhen blinked her eyes, finding this amusing.

She hadn’t expected this bothersome issue, which had troubled her for so long, to be so simply resolved by this young man. From now on, her little Junior Sister likely wouldn’t mention drinking alcohol anymore.

And if she still wanted to drink, Li Miaozhen could just replicate this method and create some more of this so-called ‘Jadescent Nectar’ to appease her.

She stood up, moved to Qin Feng’s table, and sat beside her little Junior Sister, her face bearing a somewhat breezy smile: “I am Li Miaozhen, a disciple of the White Tiger Lineage. This is my little Junior Sister Luoluo. May I know, Junior Brother, on which peak do you cultivate?”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, “Senior Sister Li is too polite. I am a disciple of Spiritual Snake Peak, Qin Feng.”

Li Miaozhen nodded and instructed the waiter to serve all the Spiritual Meals she had ordered to their table.

Afterward, she casually chatted with Qin Feng. The woman’s manner was free and easy, and her speech was clear and concise, easily endearing her to others.

Furthermore, she was well-informed and knew that Qin Feng had just completed the new disciple’s trials and was planning to go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to take on some assignments. She specifically gave him some advice, making Qin Feng aware of many things to be cautious of while undertaking missions.

Qin Feng was quite grateful, and he offered a toast to Li Miaozhen.

He then discovered that she was even more heroic when drinking, consuming several jars of Spiritual Wine without even changing her expression, leaving Qin Feng amazed.

Luoluo, the little girl, also held up her bowl of ‘Jadescent Nectar,’ pretending to drink boldly alongside her.

Qin Feng now understood why the little girl insisted on drinking alcohol; she spent every day with such a heavy drinker, and it would be strange if she wasn’t influenced.

Even though Qin Feng only sipped a little each time, he still ended up with a flushed face, feeling a bit unsteady, and promptly surrendered, not daring to drink anymore, lest he wouldn’t be able to return home that day.

“Haha, Junior Brother Qin, you really can’t hold your liquor.”

Li Miaozhen didn’t force him to drink more and simply laughed, “A mere half jar of Spiritual Wine and you’re already done. Poor tolerance, you need more practice to not lose your manly pride.”

Qin Feng laughed bitterly, “Senior Sister Li, you are most generous. I’m far from your equal.”

Li Miaozhen’s nature had always been hearty, and after drinking she became even more spirited. They talked about everything under the moon, and Qin Feng learned of many interesting things.

After having their fill of food and wine, Li Miaozhen paid the bill for both of them. On leaving, she laughed, “Thank you for today, Junior Brother Qin. When I am free in the future, let’s have a drink together.”

Qin Feng knew she was referring to the matter with little Junior Sister Luoluo, which he didn’t mind—it was just a way to pacify a child, after all.

However, he did have a good impression of the genuine and spirited Li Miaozhen, and upon hearing her invitation, he said with a smile, “Senior Sister Li, no need to be so courteous. If fate allows, I shall certainly accompany you.”

“Haha, I hope you won’t get knocked out by me next time.”

Li Miaozhen laughed heartily, picked up Luoluo, and left.

Qin Feng sat on the stool for a while, drank a cup of tea to sober up a bit, then got up and left the Drunken Immortal Inn, heading toward the Market.
