Gu Xijiu did not bother to reply.

Her storage bag was never short of wine, especially those that she enjoyed. In fact, she had a habit of stocking up a great supply of wine wherever she went.

Slightly annoyed by the request, she threw two bottles of wine to him.

Fan Qianshi caught the bottles and started sniffing them with his eyes closed as if reminiscing about the past. “It has been a while. I miss the taste.”

Gu Xijiu did not answer him again.

Sour plum wine was not something uncommon in the six worlds. It was available almost everywhere. It could not be difficult for him to obtain the wine, so it was a rather odd request. Was he going to play some tricks again?

Di Hao knew that the man was up to no good, but he did not say anything.

Fan Qianshi turned the bottle open in an eager urge to drink the wine but paused for a minute as if wondering if he would regret consuming it so soon.

Gu Xijiu offered another bottle to him. “Just drink it.”

Fan Qianshi received the bottle and continued, “Are you feeling bad for me?” He studied at her expression fixedly.

Gu Xijiu did not answer, for he was obviously overthinking the situation.

With a smile, she continued, “Now that we are working together, I can be more accommodating. I have plenty of wine. If you’d like more, just say it.”

Her smile was all Fan Qianshi could focus on at that moment. He looked away and turned his attention to the wine again. With a sip, he started savoring the wine.

“Master, I would like some, too. I like this wine,” the pink candle dragon requested for some as it was craving for a drink.

Gu Xijiu softly patted its head. “Haven’t I given you a large bottle earlier? How did you finish it so quickly?”

“The wine is delicious. Also, I am a heavy drinker,” the pink candle dragon awkwardly replied.

Hearing its reply, Gu Xijiu offered it an extra large-sized bottle of wine. “All right, this is all for you then.”

Delighted, the pink candle dragon opened the bottle and downed it all in one go!

The tantalizing scent of the wine was widespread at that moment. With his eyes closed, Fan Qianshi could smell it in the air.

The wine that the pink candle dragon had was the same quality as the one he had, but the amount was ten times more than the bottle in his hand.

Apparently, Gu Xijiu really did have plenty of wine. The way she gave it away was absolutely generous!

Quickly, he finished off his bottle before asking for another one. “Pleasure to work with you, comrade. May I have another bottle?”

Di Hao was greatly astonished by the power of wine in bringing people together. A few bottles were able to build a temporary connection between two enemies who always wanted to kill one another.

Gu Xijiu was ready to work with Fan Qianshi, for sure. Therefore, she did not mind giving out another bottle to him. “Pleasure working with you too…”

Before she could finish speaking, someone was already grasping her by the wrist.

As swift as a shadow, Fan Qianshi’s arm had extended over two feet long to seize her wrist and seal her acupuncture point.

By sealing it, her Qi reservoir became inaccessible, so she could no longer use her spiritual power. In an instant, her legs became jelly-like, as she had lost half of her strength in one second!

She did not collapse entirely before the bottle in Fan Qianshi’s hand suddenly exploded! Countless tiny, hair-like needles blew out from the bottle and stung him right on the chest!

It was normal for powerful people like Fan Qianshi to always protect themselves with a wizardry barrier that could prevent all physical harm from sudden attacks.

However, the secret weapon that Gu Xijiu had was nothing ordinary. Di Fuyi produced the needle-like weapon only recently and immediately gave it to her.

According to him, the secret weapon was able to break through any forms of wizardry barriers that were used to protect individuals.

The only downside was that the weapon could only be used once, for the material was extremely rare.
