Shock!
When the Wine Master uttered the last words, Lan Jue's heart was filled with shock. Utter shock.
She even felt the urge to burst into tears.
As a wine lover, to be able to taste one of the Three Gods of Wine, even if it was only a village, was enough to move her beyond words.
In fact, she was even happier than when she'd drunk Romanee-Conti.
Romanee-Conti was produced in the thousands every year in the Former Era.
But Master Henri Jayer's creations, no matter what rank, were only a few hundred bottles a year!
This was something that couldn't be measured by money alone.
"Thank you." Lan Jue bowed respectfully to the Wine Master.
The Wine Master smiled in satisfaction. "Come, let's drink."
"I'm a little reluctant."
"Open it. If you don't drink it, it'll be a waste.
And as soon as possible. "
Lan Jue: "What I'm saying is, I'll take it home and savor it. Is that alright?"
"… …"
It was a bottle of Vilge. She didn't even know where Master Henri Jayer had produced it. All she knew was that it was produced in the Former Era in 1997.
And yet, Lan Jue was completely immersed in its beauty.
She lost track of time, and even the tinge of irritation in her heart.
"Speak. What do you want me to do?" Lan Jue placed her glass on the table after downing the last drop. She looked at the Wine Master.
"Are you sure?" The Wine Master asked.
Lan Jue's eyes were closed, as though she was still intoxicated by the wine. "It's not easy to drink, I know.
Of course, if you've found your conscience, I'll be very happy. "
The Wine Master smiled. "How many times have you called me stingy? How can a stingy person suddenly be generous?
So, you're right. I do have something to ask of you.
The Clairvoyant has divined that someone is trying to restore the Three Gods of Wine on a planet similar to our home world. I'd like to take a look, and give them a gift.
There aren't many people in the Major League who have a collection of the Three Gods of Wine.
I hope they can find a better brewing method from these old wines and let the God's Water Droplets reappear in the world. "
Lan Jue opened her eyes, which suddenly lit up. "Is what you said true?"
The Wine Master nodded. "Wine isn't just my most important hobby, it's my only hobby.
I won't joke about this. "
Lan Jue: "I have two questions. First, you actually collected the wine brewed by the Three Gods of Wine and never took it out!
Second, you actually used a fortune-teller's divination to find wine. "
The Wine Master shot him a look. "What are you trying to say?"
Lan Jue smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Impressive!"
The two of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"So, you agree?" The Wine Master asked, after a moment's pause.
Lan Jue: "With your abilities, do you still need my help?"
"The Clairvoyant's divination was interrupted," the Wine Master explained.
"I'm sure you understand what that means.
A gentleman doesn't stand under a collapsing wall. Besides, if you really do find a way, you won't be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. "
Lan Jue sighed. "Very well. I have to say, your wine from Grandmaster Henri-Jayer has whetted my appetite. I'll agree to your request.
But it'll take some time.
I need to go to the Shattered Starfields for a month.
When I get back, we'll discuss a time to go. "
"Alright." The Wine Master smiled. "I'm not in a hurry, I still have some in stock."
"Let's go!" Lan Jue rose to her feet and waved.
…
The blue figure flashed past quickly. Ten seconds later, there was a series of explosions in the air.
It was a McLaren P12 verti-car. Only a top-of-the-line vehicle like this could reach such terrifying speeds.
"Sister Mika, slow down. I'm getting carsick." Lin Guo-guo's brows furrowed as she gripped the handrail.
Inside the verti-car sat Lan Jue's entourage.
Lan Jue sat in the middle of the back seat. Lin Guo-guo and Xiu Xiu sat on her left and right. Mika, with his red hair and black-rimmed glasses, was driving. Kerr sat in the front passenger seat, cheering on Mika's speed.
Mika's driving style was tyrannical. It was as if he wanted to squeeze every last bit of power out of the verti-car. He'd already broken the speed of sound.
"Alright, alright. You're weak.
The boss didn't say anything. "Mika grumbled.
"I just fainted." Lan Jue leaned lazily against the seat.
Xiu Xiu giggled.
Kerr turned to face Lan Jue and stuck her tongue out.
Mika snorted. "We're almost there. Sit tight."
The verti-car made a cool drift in the air, then suddenly plunged down. Although most of the sense of weightlessness was filtered out by the verti-car's internal equipment, some of it still made its way into everyone's bodies.
Lin Guo-guo let out a scream. Even Xiu Xiu couldn't help but cry out.
Ten seconds later, the verti-car came to a steady stop on the parking lot of Skyfire's civil spaceship hangar.
"Beep, beep, beep!" A piercing alarm sounded.
Several uniformed air marshals quickly gathered around.
An electronic voice sounded. "Speeding stopped. Serious violation. Please open the door and alight immediately for inspection."
The two doors of the McLaren P12 verti-car opened like the wings of a giant butterfly. The four beauties alighted from both sides at almost the same time.
The red-haired Mika, the blue-haired Kerr, the black-haired Xiu Xiu, and the green-haired Guoguo.
The four beauties were all wearing tight-fitting black mecha combat suits, perfectly outlining their slender and alluring figures. Those curves and their alluring faces seemed to dazzle the eyes of the air marshals. Even through their helmets, they seemed to be able to hear the sound of the air marshals gulping.
"What's up, handsome?" Mika winked at the air marshals.
"Beautiful ladies, you're exceeding the speed limit." One of the air marshals stammered.
"Oh, I'm sorry.
We'll be going first. Keep an eye on the car for us. "
Mika waved to the air marshals, then turned and left. The other three women also waved to the other air marshals.
Lan Jue was in the middle of the four women. She floated away with them.
After a while, one of the air marshals reacted.
"We're wearing helmets. How do they know we're handsome?"
— —
I used to fantasize about being able to have four beautiful secretaries like Tony Leung in the Tokyo Strategy Guide.
But that doesn't seem likely. My wife will kill me.
So I'll give this wonderful treatment to Lanlan!
See how much I love him.
