"What kind of wine is this? It smells so good!" Meng Fanzé stared straight at the vat of wine, saliva almost dripping out.
It really smelled far too good!
Qin Yiwei couldn't help swallowing either. With a gulp, her face turned a little red.
But when she glanced to the side, she calmed down.
While her reaction was still restrained, everyone else's eyes were just as fixed and unblinking.
As for the spirit beasts, saliva had already begun dripping from the corners of their mouths!
Everyone's gaze was locked tightly on the large vat, wishing they could rush over and drink wildly.
But they didn't dare move.
All eyes turned to Mu Shiyue.
"Master…"
Mu Shiyue walked over, sniffed lightly, and couldn't help revealing a delighted smile.
"This is Hundred-Fruit Wine," she said.
"Hundred-Fruit Wine?!"
"Could this be Monkey Wine?!" Ke Chongbo shouted, his expression shocked.
"Monkey Wine?!"
The others all sucked in a sharp breath, "This is Monkey Wine?!"
Monkey Wine, as the name implies, is wine brewed by monkeys.
Monkeys are clever. They gather together fruits they can't finish eating.
After those fruits ferment, they become fine wine.
Not every fruit can produce good wine, and not every vat of wine tastes amazing.
But because monkeys occupy large territories with many fruit-bearing trees, the chances of them brewing delicious Hundred-Fruit Wine are quite high.
These fruits are rich in spiritual qi and taste excellent. Once brewed into wine, the spiritual qi overflows abundantly!
"My parents once bought a bottle that was also called Hundred-Fruit Wine. It tasted pretty good, but it doesn't even compare to one-tenth of this!" Ke Chongbo stared fixedly at the vat.
Back then, his parents had said that truly authentic Monkey Wine, brewed by monkeys themselves, was absolutely incredible!
"Even my parents only drank Monkey Wine once, a long time ago!" Ke Chongbo clicked his tongue in amazement, unable to look away. "My father said not every Hundred-Fruit Wine can be called Monkey Wine, only top-grade ones qualify!"
He hadn't understood what his father meant at the time. Now he finally did.
The difference was really enormous!
Just standing there and smelling the Monkey Wine made him feel dizzy.
The spiritual power in his body even seemed to start circulating on its own.
If he actually took a sip, who knew how amazing it would feel!
No wonder everyone went crazy wanting a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, this thing is way too powerful!
After hearing Ke Chongbo's explanation, everyone else's eyes lit up as well.
So Monkey Wine had this kind of distinction.
If Ke Chongbo hadn't explained it, they wouldn't have known!
Everyone couldn't help looking at Mu Shiyue, their eyes filled with longing.
They also wanted to taste this famous Monkey Wine!
"Chi chi chi…" The Treasure-Seeking Mouse stood steadily on Mu Shiyue's shoulder, pointing at the vat with great generosity.
These things are for you!
Mu Shiyue turned her head to look at it and didn't decline.
"Bring the cups over,"
At her command, everyone, people and beasts alike, vanished in a flash.
Very soon, they all came back.
Everyone held their own cup, eyes shining brightly.
Bang!
Everyone turned their heads toward the sound, seeing dust billowing.
—Hu Niu had dragged over her large food basin.
"Hou wu~"
Little Tiger Baby looked at the huge basin in front of its mother, big enough to hold several of its own, and then patted the small bowl in front of itself, clearly dissatisfied.
"Hou~!"
Hu Niu raised a paw and pressed the cub's head back.
You're so small, and you want to compare with me?
Little Tiger Baby: "..."
I don't want this mother anymore!
Da Yanzi also dragged over its own food basin, about the same size as Hu Niu's.
Mu Shiyue treated them impartially, otherwise the two would definitely start fighting.
Don't be fooled by the fact that they're adult beasts, they're not like adult humans.
They're more like human children.
Little Sesame looked at the big basin in front of its mother, then at its own small basin, then at Little Tiger Baby being held down by its mother. It whimpered twice but didn't loudly protest.
As for Ah Lang and its mother, and the Black Abyss Falcon, they were very calm.
They knew that whatever was meant for them wouldn't be lacking.
Xin Jinrui and the others looked at the spirit beasts' food basins, then at their own cups, and immediately felt defeated!
Mu Shiyue ignored them, took the ladle Xin Jinrui handed her, and stirred the wine in the vat.
Instantly, the wine aroma grew even richer, making everyone's eyes blur for a moment.
"Hou~"
"Li—"
"Ang—"
"Mou—"
Faint movements could be heard in the distance, as if some spirit beasts had been attracted.
Several spirit beasts immediately let out sharp roars.
After those sounds rang out, the restless movements disappeared.
Xin Jinrui and the others turned pale.
The attraction of Monkey Wine was just too strong!
Who knew how many spirit beasts this single vat of wine could attract?
It really is incredible stuff!
Thankfully, there were so many spirit beasts here. Otherwise, who knew how many would come knocking on their doors to snatch it?
After driving away those spirit beasts, Hu Niu and the others relaxed, their attention returning to the Monkey Wine.
The outside was treacherous and unpredictable, but Mu Shiyue remained calm.
After stirring the Monkey Wine once more, she said, "Line up."
As soon as she spoke, Hu Niu immediately stood up, taking the lead, dragging her food basin and flashing straight to the front of the vat.
Everyone and every beast: "..."
That speed was truly unbelievable!
Da Yanzi was startled for a moment, then immediately followed.
Everyone else hurriedly lined up behind them.
Very quickly, a line formed in front of the vat.
Mu Shiyue scooped up one ladle of wine and poured it into the basin in front of Hu Niu.
"Next."
"Hou~" Hu Niu's eyes widened as she stared at the thin layer of wine that didn't even cover the bottom of the basin, extremely dissatisfied.
That's it?!
"Enough," Mu Shiyue tapped the side of the vat. "Just taste it. You're not seriously thinking of drinking to your heart's content, are you?"
What kind of person wastes good stuff like that?
"Hou~"
But she's so big, this amount isn't even enough to wet her throat!
Mu Shiyue looked at her and scooped another ladle.
"Alright, that's enough."
"Hou~"
Still just this much?!
"Don't want it?" Mu Shiyue made a move to take her basin away. "Then I'll give it to someone else."
"Hou!"
Hu Niu immediately had no objections, hurriedly taking her basin away.
This woman is not to be messed with.
She really would take the wine back!
Watching Mu Shiyue handle this enormous Soul-Devouring Tiger with ease, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse standing on her shoulder felt its tiny eyes go dizzy.
Then it couldn't help hopping excitedly.
It really hadn't latched onto the wrong thigh!
"Careful!" Mu Shiyue quickly grabbed it.
The little thing had almost fallen into the wine vat!
What a shame to waste such good wine!
"Chi chi chi…"
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse climbed back onto Mu Shiyue's shoulder.
Then it met Xiao Qing's cold black eyes.
The Treasure-Seeking Mouse couldn't help shivering. It always felt like that snake's gaze was strange.
As if it carried… envy?
