How did it feel to have 20 bottles of water forced into his stomach?
Xi Zhicai rubbed his bloated stomach with a bitter face.
Then he looked at the fine wine in his hand.
A little.
He wanted to vomit.
He had been forced to drink too much.
After the culprit had forced dozens of bottles of medicine into his mouth,
He glanced at him.
He took a small step back without leaving a trace. If he wasn't proud of his eyesight,
Xi Zhicai thought that it was an illusion.
This person was afraid of vomiting on him!
Xi Zhicai understood in a second.
Just by looking at the sage-like appearance, he was actually extremely sinister.
Xi Zhicai thought angrily.
For the first time, he wanted to suppress his mysophobia and vomit on the other party.
If he was going to die, everyone would die together.
However, with his skills, it was wishful thinking.
Xi Zhicai looked at the other party's clean clothes with pity.
He felt a little aggrieved.
The use of the top-grade blue medicine was obvious. Cao Cao didn't understand what the sage-like person was forcing him to drink with a cold face. However, his intuition told him that it was harmless. He stayed by the side and watched Xi Zhicai's face turn red as he was forced to drink several bottles of medicine.
The person didn't let him go until the medicine was all gone.
Cao Cao could clearly see that Xi Zhicai's originally pale face had regained some color after drinking the medicine. He knew that it was good stuff.
He immediately thanked him. "Thank you, immortal."
Xi Zhicai coughed a few times and finally recovered.
As the person involved, his reaction was the clearest.
His originally weak body gradually gained strength.
Even his steps were much lighter. He thanked him very respectfully, "Thank you, immortal." Most people who could live didn't want to die.
"No need." Xie Lige threw out a sentence with a poker face.
It was just a set of blue medicine. He still had a lot.
Cao Cao felt that this immortal was even more unfathomable.
He couldn't figure out what medicine the other party took out.
It could pull a dying person back.
Since Cao Cao couldn't figure it out, he decided not to think about it anymore. Cao Cao was a smart person. He knew that it was better to treat this kind of hidden expert well. If he was too tough, it would be counterproductive.
Xi Zhicai also understood this. Although he felt that the other party might not be as cold as he appeared to be on the surface, he also wanted to court death. However, because Patriarch Cao Cao was still beside him, he became much more well-behaved.
Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief. He saw that Xi Zhicai had recovered a lot, so he was not in a hurry to catch up with Xie Lige. He wanted to take Xi Zhicai back to the residence to see a doctor.
"We'll take our leave first. Sir, if there's anything you need, you can let the servant inform you."
Cao Cao said apologetically before he left. He had originally wanted to ask this immortal whether or not he wanted to go to the capital. Now, he could only say it the next time he came.
At the moment, it was better to take Xi Zhicai back to the residence to see a doctor first.
Xi Zhicai, who was secretly trying to escape, couldn't escape the power of his patriarch. He was caught before he could run a few meters. He said goodbye to Xie Lige with a bitter face and said that he would come back to play with him next time.
Xie Lige looked at him coldly and didn't say anything. Anyway, Xi Zhicai looked at him and took it that it was okay.
He watched as Cao Cao anxiously took the crying Xi Zhicai back to the residence, followed by a large group of people.
The System appeared in his mind. It also saw the way these two strategists got along with their master. It commented, "Cao Cao thinks highly of this Xi Zhicai. It seems that history is right."
Xie Lige saw it more clearly. With his experience of raising many chuunibyou sons, he could see the helplessness in Cao Cao's eyes. He said coldly, "That's because Cao Cao raised Xi Zhicai as his own son."
Obviously, the age difference between them wasn't that big, but it was obvious that Cao Cao was worried about Xi Zhicai's health.
What kind of strange way was this?
The System thought for a long time and said, "Then the next time Xi Zhicai gets married, will Cao Cao also be present?"
Xie Lige narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the empty space. In his heart, he was thinking about how he was moved from his son's wedding to clean up the mess in the previous world.
"…" The System wanted to self-destruct!
It could have said anything, but why did it have to mention this?
It saw that Xie Lige's mood was obviously down, so it didn't know how to comfort him. It was also a little depressed about its own incompetence. If his level was higher, the System wouldn't be able to capture his host without permission. At least, it would have given Xie Lige some time to prepare. He apologized timidly, "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault," Xie Lige said calmly.
He had always been clear about kindness and hatred. Whoever was wrong was unlucky.
The System didn't argue with him. It was afraid of angering the Great Demon King again, so it obediently retreated.
Xie Lige returned to his mansion, closed the door, and went into his room. He didn't sleep for the whole night.
The next day, just as dawn broke, there were continuous knocks on the door outside. Xie Lige, who had sensitive five senses, immediately woke up from his meditation. He frowned and looked at the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a lazy Xi Zhicai holding a pot of wine. He smiled at him and said, "Sir, do you want a drink?"
Holding the door tightly, Xie Lige resisted the urge to close the door. He said stiffly, "No."
He glanced at the pot of wine. The System very considerately gave him a note. It was a three-year-old Bamboo Wine.
Xie Lige wasn't interested. He also liked to drink. In the first world, his occupation was A gang of beggars. He loved to drink, to get tattoos, and to hit women. His occupation changed, but his hobbies remained. Every time he went to a new world, Xie Lige would collect some good wine. Whether he liked it or not, he would accept it if it was pleasing to the eye.
A three-year-old Bamboo Wine wasn't even qualified to be in his eyes.
"You don't like this wine?"
If others were rejected so mercilessly, they would definitely think that the other party didn't like them. However, Xi Zhicai had always been very confident. His eyes were full of disdain. It was definitely not because of him, but because of the wine.
He hit the nail on the head.
Moving his feet, Xi Zhicai slipped in and closed the door behind him.
He wasn't angry at being rejected. On the contrary, he asked excitedly, "You don't like this wine because you have better wine?
Is it the wine brewed by those immortals?
Wine?
Dew?
Don't tell me you brewed it yourself?
I haven't drunk wine that's been brewed for hundreds of years.
Hey, don't keep quiet. "
Xie Lige glanced at him, turned around, and walked away.
Xi Zhicai followed him and continued to ask.
"Too noisy!" After a pause, Xie Lige stopped and frowned at Xi Zhicai, who almost bumped into him.
Xi Zhicai instantly became well-behaved under such a threatening gaze. He smiled fawningly.
Turning his head, Xie Lige glanced at him and continued to walk forward.
Xi Zhicai received his gaze and obediently followed him. As he walked, he looked at the situation in the mansion.
This mansion was Cao Cao's private residence. Because there were grapes in the courtyard, Xi Zhicai often came here when it was time to brew wine. Naturally, he had some memories of the scenery in this mansion. Now that he looked around, he was surprised to find that the entire mansion didn't have any traces of activity. In other words, there wasn't even a trace of life.
The mansion was as cold as an ice cave. Apart from a light blue array in the courtyard and mysterious runes floating around, there was nothing else.
Xi Zhicai withdrew his gaze and followed the person in front of him. After a while, they arrived at the living room. That person quietly sat at the head of the table. Xi Zhicai tactfully sat next to him.
He raised his head and looked at the other party, hoping that the other party would bring out some good wine.
Xie Lige was a bit surprised. He didn't miss the look of despair on Xi Zhicai's face when he gave him the medicine yesterday. Why was he still alive today?
Wasn't he afraid that he would give him the medicine again?
He suppressed his desire to continue bullying the other party and calmly took out a bamboo tube of wine from his bag.
Xie Lige had always treasured the wine that he had left behind in his first world, A gang of beggars, because it tasted really good.
Probably because Xi Zhicai was really pleasing to the eye, Xie Lige thought for a moment and took out a small tube.
Although it was said to be small, it was really small. The bamboo tube, which was about the size of a baby's arm, was simply threaded through the hole with a straw rope and held in midair. Xi Zhicai immediately stopped moving. His gaze moved as he looked at the tube of wine. His intuition told him that this was good wine.
"Sir really does have good wine!"
Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up. He was just casually asking. Who knew that this immortal really did have good wine?
Because of this, he didn't want to care about his bamboo green wine anymore. He stared at the bamboo tube of wine in Xie Lige's hand.
Xie Lige put the bamboo tube of wine on the table and took out a light green jade wine cup. The surface of the cup was as thin as a cicada's wing and light could pass through it.
"Pfft!"
Xie Lige opened the bamboo tube of wine and poured it into a wine cup. He handed it to Xi Zhicai and poured himself a cup.
Xi Zhicai carefully took the wine cup and smelled it. He felt a clear and hot wine aroma rush straight to his head. Following that, he felt refreshed. He couldn't help but praise, "Good wine!"
Just the aroma of the wine was worth it.
After drinking it, Xi Zhicai immediately regretted it. If he had known earlier, he and Xie Lige would have used the bamboo tube. Just the wine cup was enough for one mouthful. The clear wine had just entered his throat and he hadn't had the chance to savor the mellow taste before it was gone.
In addition, Xi Zhicai clearly felt that the wine had entered his stomach. He felt much more energetic and clear-headed. Suddenly, he looked at the bamboo tube of wine in Xie Lige's hand in amazement.
Good stuff!
Thinking about how Cao Cao had been staying up late for a long time recently, Xi Zhicai suddenly had an idea.
If he brought this wine back, his lord would probably turn a blind eye the next time he was caught, right?
Xi Zhicai's thoughts were very beautiful. The smile on his face became even brighter, as if he could already see his beautiful tomorrow.
Who knew that in the next second, Xie Lige would shatter his fantasy.
"No!" Xie Lige said coldly, looking very unfriendly.
Xi Zhicai panicked and said, "Just one tube, one tube."
He had already thought it through. He would take half the tube and give the other half to Cao Cao.
Xie Lige glanced at Xi Zhicai, who was jumping around like a prawn, and explained with rare patience, "You drank a lot of medicine yesterday. One cup of wine is enough for today's wine. You're weak and can't take it."
Xi Zhicai still didn't give up. Just as he was about to continue arguing, he saw Xie Lige about to take back the bamboo tube of wine. He immediately panicked.
This time, he was really anxious. He hurriedly said, "Then one cup, one cup will do. In any case, let my lord have a taste. This wine tastes really good."
Xie Lige paused in the act of taking back the wine. He glanced at him and said, "You know how to be grateful?"
Xi Zhicai smiled fawningly.
Xie Lige had no choice but to pour him another cup.
