Chapter 199: Chapter 199

[This wine has One Dream of Floating Life mixed in. Just a few sips, and in less than half a stick of incense, you’ll be drunk like a fool, answering any question and fulfilling any request!]

[Hahaha! You scoundrel, let’s see how you act now! Hmph!]

Nangong Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, a playful expression beneath his mask.

Heh... That little rascal thinks she’s clever, but unfortunately, I’ve already figured it out!

Yun Ran didn’t notice the man’s slightly upturned lips and fox-like cunning smile in his eyes. She held the cup, slightly tilted her head as if drinking, then covered her face with her sleeve, perfectly blocking his view.

[I already drank a cup earlier, and you certainly wouldn’t suspect the rest of the wine, nor would you guess that I would fake the drink.]

[As long as I act convincingly, once you drink that cup...]

Suddenly, her chin was gently pinched by a warm, large hand, skillfully lifting it up.

In an instant, the sweet wine rolled down her throat, swallowed before she could react.

Yun Ran’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at the enlarged... mask in front of her. Her mind felt struck by lightning, a flash of white, a muddled mess.

Only when sweet wine rushed into her mouth again did Yun Ran awaken from her dream, instinctively trying to spit out the Peach Blossom Brew.

But the owner of that wicked hand prevented her from succeeding, instead causing her to drink several more sips of Peach Blossom Brew.

With the wine in her stomach, Yun Ran felt almost murderous towards him!

[Bastard! Treacherous scoundrel!]

Yun Ran angrily raised her foot, aiming directly at his nether regions for a kick.

The corners of the man’s mouth twitched, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead. He quickly let go of her, retreated swiftly, narrowly avoiding that malicious kick.

"Little girl, you’re hitting too hard! Luckily, I’m quick on my feet."

The man stood seven steps away, raising an eyebrow at Yun Ran, speaking with a hint of lingering fear but his demeanor was relaxed and leisurely.

Yun Ran ground her teeth hatefully, her eyes like blades flaying him, "Bastard! How dare you speak? Aren’t you aware of your own actions?"

The man blinked in slight surprise, his tone rather innocent, "I was just joking with you, gave you a few sips of Peach Blossom Brew. Why are you so angry, little girl?"

[Joking? Was that ordinary Peach Blossom Brew?!] This update is available on NovєlFіre.net

[It’s Peach Blossom Brew mixed with One Dream of Floating Life! Three sips can make someone drunk as a fool, and I drank nearly half a cup...]

At this thought, Yun Ran felt a pang in her heart.

And then she realized, she didn’t have the antidote...

In an instant, Yun Ran felt utterly defeated!

Nangong Mo stroked his chin, somewhat eager, what would a girl drunk as a fool look like?

Lost in thought, a figure suddenly bumped into him, carrying a faint elegant fragrance.

Nangong Mo, utterly defenseless, was knocked to the ground by Yun Ran.

His chest immediately received a punch from a delicate fist.

"Bastard! Black-hearted shameless scoundrel! I’ll fight you! Crafty dog-faced man! I’ll beat you to death!"

Seeing the little woman sitting on him, her angry face flushed red, raining punches down on him, the man pursed his lips, obediently lying still and allowing her to hit him.

Turns out he felt a bit guilty.

However, the little girl should not be fully drunk yet, because she wasn’t hitting his face. If she punched his mask, it would hurt her hand, so she landed every blow on his chest.

Even so, after a dozen punches, Yun Ran still felt her hand aching, so she abandoned his hard chest, instead venturing to squeeze his neck.

"Bastard! How dare you be shameless! I’ll strangle you!"

The man’s brow twitched, a bead of cold sweat looming at the corner of his eye, as he reached out to catch the hands gripping his neck.

"Lin Wanyue, you’ll kill someone."

Not sure if the little girl was drunk or just too angry, but she exerted enough strength to strangle him...

Her hands caught by him, Yun Ran struggled a few times but couldn’t break free. Frustrated, she directly lowered her head and bit his hand.

The bite was quite forceful.

With the intention of biting him to death...

That’s odd, last time she got drunk she was utterly adorable, clingy and acting coquettish, even staying in his arms saying she liked him.

Hmm, surely she isn’t fully drunk yet.

Should he offer her another sip of Peach Blossom Brew?

Just contemplating this, the girl biting hard on his hand suddenly released her grip, slowly raised her head and looked at him.

Her eyes, clear and crystal-like, brimmed with mist, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

She let out a soft ’huh’, tilted her head slightly to gaze at him, her delicate eyebrows furrowing without a word, that expression as if observing a non-human entity...

The man’s eyes flickered a bit, was she... really drunk? Drunk as a little fool? Not recognizing him?

The man spoke, calling her tentatively, but the girl showed no response.

In the next moment, he pinched her cheek gently, "Lin Wanyue, are you really silly? A little fool?"

The girl pouted, somewhat annoyed, "You’re Lin Wanyue, you’re the little fool!"

The man’s eyes moved slightly, raising an undetectable eyebrow, "Oh? You’re not Lin Wanyue then?"

The girl looked puzzled, "Who’s Lin Wanyue? Who are you?"

The man blinked softly, his voice low and seductive, "I am your brother."

"Come, call me good brother."

The girl furrowed her elegant brows, slightly tilted her head as she regarded him, "You’re lying, I don’t have a brother."

Wasn’t she supposed to be foolish from drunkenness?

How come she’s not easily deceived?

Though confused inside, someone remained shamelessly composed, inventing nonsense seriously, "I am your brother, you are my long-lost sister, and I only found you today."

Yun Ran tilted her head looking at him, hesitant to believe, "Is that right?"

"Of course! How could brother ever deceive you? Come, quickly call me brother."

"Call brother, and brother will buy you candied haws."

The girl’s eyes lit up, "Candied haws?"

The man silently curved his lips, gently coaxing, "Yes! Also some sugar dolls, peach blossom cake, almond crisps, roasted sweet potatoes, steamed corn, sugar roasted..."

Before he finished speaking, the girl’s soft and delicate voice rang in his ear, sounding like a gentle feather caressing his heart, making it itch.

"Good, call me once more."

Looking at him, the girl pouted slightly, "Where are the snacks?"

He reached into his pockets and found only a single candy, offering it to her, "Brother gives you candy, now call me brother again, alright?"

The girl hummed softly, her pretty face accusing him, "No candied haws or roasted sweet potatoes, you’re cheating, you’re a liar, a bad guy."

Through the clear moon and gentle breeze, the man glanced at the bamboo table not far away.

There was still a string of candied haws on it, could he get there in time?

"I won’t play with you anymore, I’m going to find senior brother. Hmph, bad guy!"
