Chapter 146 - 148: Setting Out Again
After the wine tasting event, the hosts and guests were all merry, the wild tiger’s eyes slightly glazed from drink, slinging an arm around the Monkey King, with none of the previous hostility that had led to a fierce fight.
Midway through the drinking, the leader of the monkeys suddenly clung to his gourd of wine, refusing to pour for anyone. Even after the Monkey King attempted to snatch it away and was beaten once more, it was of no use. Finally, it took the wild tiger’s chest-thumping pledge to procure even better Spirit Fruits for the leader before he, with tears in his eyes, handed over the wine gourd to the wild tiger.
The leader’s Monkey Wine was so enjoyed at the tasting event that only droplets remained at the bottom of the gourd. Drunkenly embracing the wine gourd, the leader collapsed into a slumber with tears streaking down, a pitiful sight.
For the first time, Purple Cloud shared a couple of drinks with Mu Can, neither using their powers to counteract the effect of the alcohol. A flush of red appeared on Purple Cloud’s cheeks.
Mu Can couldn’t help but be captivated by her.
At this moment, Purple Cloud’s hair was loosely tied up, her simple and elegant white clothes revealing a section of an arm as white and tender as jade, and the hint of a blush on her face, her every smile and frown seeming to capture Mu Can’s soul. She seemed as if she had stepped right out of a painting, unparalleled in beauty.
"Cloud Sister." Mu Can gazed dazedly at Purple Cloud, feeling that today’s Monkey Wine was even more fragrant than before, as if he had ascended to a higher plane, his body feeling lighter.
"Hmm?" Purple Cloud looked at Mu Can, puzzled, feeling a sense of restlessness warming her body.
Mu Can could only feel a fragrant scent mixed with the aroma of the wine hitting him, his eyes growing even more confused.
