Wu Jie and Du Ruo sat in the pavilion waiting for the result. Unexpectedly, Du Xiu was gone for several hours, and they didn't know what he had done.

Although this unscrupulous Plum Blossom Spirit may have gone to tip off the news, or pulled a group of people to cause trouble, they are not afraid of Wu Jie's alchemy, and his strength is comparable to that of a fifth- and sixth-level Huandan figure; although Du Ruo was eliminated

She was rewarded by humanity, but after finding the way forward, her cultivation has become regular, and her strength has increased instead of falling. She still maintains the strength of the second and third levels of Huandan.

The two of them, brother and sister, could join forces with all the major sects in the human world. If the Sea-Eyed Monsters were truly as powerful as any of the major sects, how could they leave in such a hurry and not even dare to stay in the East China Sea?

?

There is no difference between day and night at the bottom of the sea. After a long time, both of them had finished the pot of plum blossom wine left by Duxiu, but he still hadn't come back.

The jug of plum blossom wine looks like it's only about a foot tall, but there's a lot of space inside. It's a rough estimate that one jug is worth at least five or six half-person-high wine jars in ordinary restaurants. Wu Jie and Du Ruo were chatting and laughing.

Unknowingly, I drank it all.

Because the wine was very sweet, Du Ruo drank a lot, and she drank at least 80% of it. It was not until Wu Jie poured wine for her again, but found that not even a drop could be poured out of the jug, that he came to his senses.

Come.

"Third sister, how much did you drink?"

"I don't feel much..." Du Ruo was a little confused and reached for the wine bottle, but his body didn't obey him for some reason. If Wu Jie hadn't caught him in time, he almost fell down.

"Something's wrong. I'm a ghost. Have you ever seen a drunk ghost?" She was stunned for a while and then said slowly, "No, no.

Of course Wu Jie has never seen a drunk ghost, but he has also never seen a ghost that can drink.

Ghosts in the world, no matter how high their cultivation level is, cannot digest the wine they drink or the food they eat. In fact, ghosts cannot feel the various tastes at all. Drinking and eating food is completely equivalent to storing wine and food.

The law only exists in the body.

But Du Ruo was different. When she was still in the world of the Book of Heaven, she was unable to eat or drink at first. However, as she continued to absorb Yin Qi and practice, she began to be able to truly feel the ups and downs without realizing it, and regained her ability to eat. Later, she practiced

After many years, and with the help of human rewards, she condensed into her true body in one fell swoop, and all her actions were no different from those of ordinary people. Wu Jie even doubted that the reason why she still retained various abilities of a ghost was because she was indeed a ghost? Or was it her?

Did you subconsciously use your own magical powers to manifest these abilities?

He discussed this issue with Jasmine. Although Jasmine could see Du Ruo's cultivation state and could point her in the way forward, many details were not clear. She observed Du Ruo for a long time, but she could not figure out Wu Jie

question.

But today, Wu Jie inadvertently obtained a very strong evidence, proving that Du Ruo is no longer a ghost as she thought, but has transformed into a flesh and blood body, retaining at most some ghost abilities.

That’s all.

This evidence is that Du Ruo was drunk

Although Du Ruo tried very hard to stand up straight, or at least prove that she was not drunk, everyone knew that a drunk person could not do these things. So she held on to the table and stood up unsteadily.

, walked a few more wobbly steps, but finally failed to hold on. Taking a strange front foot to trip over the back foot, he fell straight down again and fell into Wu Jie's arms.

"You're really drunk."

"It's impossible I just drank a little bit"

Wu Jie sighed and said that when he was drunk, it didn't matter when he didn't feel it. Once he felt it, the drunkenness would come up immediately and his mind would become confused involuntarily.

Du Ruo had been thinking about the question "Can ghosts be drunk?" before, but in the blink of an eye, like all drunkards, he started arguing about "I'm not drunk."

"Okay, okay, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk."

"Yeah, I'm not drunk at all. Let's have another drink." Du Ruo said as he pushed himself up and tried to stand up again, but he fell even harder. Fortunately, Wu Jie was very strong and could hold him no matter what, so he wouldn't be in trouble.

Make her really fall.

Du Ruo was very satisfied that he had not fallen, so he sat up again with Wu Jie half-carrying and half-supporting him, staring at the wine bottle on the table with somewhat unfocused eyes.

"Haha, Fourth Brother, you are really capable. You only have one bottle of wine, but you actually made several more bottles at once."

Wu Jie was stunned and turned around to see that there was only one wine bottle on the table.

Du Ruo smiled stupidly and reached for the jug, but he grabbed it empty. Her hand was conservatively estimated to be more than half a foot away from the jug.

"Huh? How could this happen? I obviously caught it." She was stunned for a moment, then grabbed a few more handfuls, but all were empty.

Du Ruo tilted his head and thought for a while, suddenly realized, and looked at Wu Jie angrily.

"Fourth brother, are you taking care of your sister because of your ability? You are amazing."

"Huh?" Wu Jie was stunned, and unexpectedly suffered a disaster. He and Du Ruo had known each other for many years and had a good understanding of each other. He understood what she meant in an instant and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"I'm not causing trouble."

"The bad guys all say they didn't do anything wrong."

"I'm not a bad guy, Third Sister, do you think of me like this?"

"If you don't let me drink, you will become a bad guy."

"But there is only one bottle of wine on the table, and you drank it all."

"Nonsense, there are clearly three...no, four more pots." Du Ruo's face was as red as rouge, and his breath was filled with the sweet smell of alcohol, "It's obviously you who used your magical power to prevent me from getting the pots."

Humph, you can even move mountains and seas, so what does hiding a few wine bottles mean?”

"Eh? This is just trying to incriminate yourself." Wu Jie couldn't help but screamed, "Third sister, even if I had the ability, I couldn't play such a trick in front of you. You are also at the Golden Core level after all.

"

"What do you mean, at any rate, your sister and I are already strong in the golden elixir." Du Ruo raised his hand and knocked on the table with an annoyed look on his face, "Anyway, bring out the wine for me."

"I didn't hide the wine."

"Whether you have hidden the wine or not, please bring it out for me." Du Ruo was completely unreasonable, "I want plum blossom wine and I want it now."

Wu Jie persuaded her several times, but she was determined to have a good drink no matter what, so she forced Wu Jie to bring out the plum blossom wine. But where did Wu Jie get the wine? Not to mention that he didn't know about the plum blossom wine at all.

Even if you know how wine is made, you won’t have time to change it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to use the source power of the Book of Heaven to turn into another pot of wine.

"Master... you are too extravagant." Jasmine, who was studying the Blood Demon Sect's skills, felt that the source power of the Heavenly Book world had changed. Although the amount was very small, it still alarmed the little miser. She hurriedly ran out and saw

When Wu Jie was using his energy to conjure plum blossom wine, he couldn't help but beat his chest, as if he had lost a large sum of money.

Wu Jie was instantly embarrassed. Using the source power of the Book of Heaven to turn into wine, he felt a bit like a prodigal. Especially when his own little housekeeper caught him doing it, it was doubly embarrassing.

"This... that... Jasmine, you see the weather is so nice today..."

"Master must be diligent and thrifty. Of course, you can't be stingy in the things you should use, but you should be frugal in the things you shouldn't use." Jasmine put her hands on her hips and Luo Li said a lot. All in all, she hoped that he would not be so wasteful and be careful.

Realize that every drop of source power is hard-earned, and devote your limited life to unlimited money... As for what to do with the earned source power? She was very happy to see the source power increase little by little.

, I never thought about anything else.

All in all, this is a typical miser's thinking, which is exactly the same as the legendary Shylock, Grandet or Yan Jiansheng. There may be some differences in details, but the general spirit is completely consistent.

Wu Jie in the world of the Book of Heaven was facing the aggressive Jasmine, and outside the world of the Book of the Book, he was facing the impatient Du Ruo. For a moment, he only felt that one head had two big heads, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"There must be something wrong with my luck today," he couldn't help complaining, "How come all these unlucky things happened together."

Fortunately, Jasmine could still negotiate. After promising to "replenish the lost source power as soon as possible", Jasmine finally stopped caring and went back to tormenting the old man with the sky-eye. Wu Jie was finally able to bring the plum blossom wine that he had finally obtained with great difficulty.

Come out and give it to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo was already impatient with waiting. As soon as she got the flask, she didn't even bother to use the cup. She just drank directly at the spout for a long time. She didn't know how much she drank before she put down the flask with satisfaction and said to Wu

Thumbs up.

“Well done, Fourth, you are really capable.”

Wu Jie was too lazy to argue with her. Gu Long once said that drunkards are unreasonable, and so are women. So the person who is even more unreasonable than drunkards or women is naturally a drunk woman.

Well, for example, Du Ruo was laughing at him.

But just because he didn't care, it didn't mean that Du Ruo would let him go. Du Ruo, who was completely drunk, had a very out-of-the-box way of thinking, and suddenly became unhappy again for some reason. The reason was, "It's too boring to drink alone, Fourth Brother, do it."

Drink with me."

Wu Jie's drinking capacity is not very good, but his unique plum blossom wine is full of stamina. He drank a lot, and did not use magic to get rid of the alcohol. Now he felt a little drunk. Facing Du Ruo's

How dare he agree to the request when his family knows about his family affairs?

But Du Ruo immediately became angry. She yelled, bared her teeth and claws, and tried her best to get Wu Jie to drink with her.

"We are here to find someone. If we are all drunk, who is going to find someone?"

"How is it possible that you can even carry a mountain? A bottle of wine is nothing." Du Ruo's eyes were watery, and he didn't know whether he was angry or sad, "I know you are only willing to drink with that little white-haired girl from the same country.

Sister, I am getting old and sallow, and you don’t like it when you look at me...

"Hey, you look a little younger than Yin Shuang."

"real?"

"Of course" Yin Shuang in the Nether World looks like she is twenty-three or fourteen years old, but Du Ruo still looks like he was when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. In comparison, Du Ruo naturally looks younger. Wu Jie's statement is not true at all.

false.

Although Yin Shuang's physical appearance looks younger than her soul, she is only about seventeen or eighteen years old and has not completely shed her youthfulness, but she is still more mature than Du Ruo, who is sixteen or seventeen years old.

Du Ruo suddenly smiled, but then became unhappy again: "Hey, fourth child, do all men like more mature women?"

"There's no such thing. As far as I know, there is a kind of man in the world called a 'lolicon,' who just likes little girls who haven't grown up yet."
