Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 751: Making Divine Wine (2)
Xi Wei remarked that no matter how many times he looked, it was still intoxicating.
If Nina weren’t in the warehouse at this moment, he would have definitely dragged Connie to start a party.
Unfortunately, for the King of Winter’s upright image, he could only restrain himself for now.
However, restraining himself didn’t mean he couldn’t collect some interest in advance.
Xi Wei walked behind Loli, pretending to observe the distillation apparatus, but his body was already pressed against her, sticking to her tightly. At the same time, his hot large hand naturally landed on Loli’s waist.
Feeling the fiery chest behind her, Loli’s pretty face blushed, and she couldn’t help but move her waist.
This movement caused his hand on her waist to follow, and waves of strange sensations made her even more shy.
She propped up her squirrel-like tail behind her like a cloud, blocking the sight of people around while sweeping it over Xi Wei’s hand back and forth. Although she didn’t speak, she conveyed her meaning – no public displays of affection!
“Ahem, are you planning to fuse Divinity into it? How is it? Is it effective?”
Xi Wei asked as if nothing had happened, then repeated his trick, pressing himself against Ruo Yi from behind.
Nina was busy at the moment, her attention fully focused on the distillation apparatus.
She had to carefully control every step, daring not to be careless. Hearing Xi Wei’s question, she didn’t have time to turn around.
“It fused at first, but it scattered again during distillation, so it had to be fused again. Even so, the amount fused is limited… I don’t know which step went wrong.”
Nina knew Loli and Ruo Yi were working very hard, and even though they offered to help, she still felt very embarrassed.
“Perhaps we should stop. Loli and Ruo Yi, go and rest. I’ll study it myself. I must have missed something.”
She turned to look at Ruo Yi but found Ruo Yi’s pretty face flushed red, her lips bitten slightly, looking somewhat unnatural.
Xi Wei, on the other hand, stood a meter away as if nothing had happened, looking at the dark ceiling of the warehouse, not knowing what he was looking at.
Strange…
Something must have happened while she was brewing wine.
However, Nina was young and was engrossed in technological research every day, with a relatively simple mind, so she didn’t think much of it.
If Bai Yao and You Ye were here, they would have known what Xi Wei had just done in minutes.
Seeing Nina’s distressed look, Xi Wei took out Karolina’s bloody dragon heart.
“Your steps are not wrong, and Loli and Ruo Yi’s idea of adding Divinity to the wine is feasible, but ordinary water cannot bear Divinity.”
With that, he said to Connie, who was watching curiously with her big eyes, “Go, ask the Life Tree Spirit for two barrels of Life Spring.”
“Oh~ Okay, Master.”
Connie happily ran off with two empty wine barrels.
Xi Wei then used Qi to clean the dragon heart, removing its toxicity.
The wine brewed wouldn’t all be for the Earth Goddess to drink; he planned to keep some for himself.
Wine brewed with dragon blood, dragon heart, and Life Spring would surely be a great tonic. If some Divinity were also fused into it, such wine could definitely be the exclusive royal tribute wine of the Wintery Empire.
Nina beside him looked like a curious baby, while Loli and Ruo Yi, knowing what Xi Wei was planning to do, were not surprised.
“This is the heart of a ninth-tier Giant Dragon I just hunted. This dragon was Connie’s mother.”
Xi Wei’s voice was cold, and his face was filled with ridicule and disdain.
“Connie’s mother??” The three maids’ eyes widened.
“Master, you, you killed Connie’s mother, and Connie isn’t angry at all?”
Loli looked at the dragon’s heart, then at Xi Wei, her face full of disbelief.
Everyone in Winter Fort knew that Connie adored Xi Wei, and Xi Wei was her everything.
But could killing one’s birth mother in front of them also be acceptable?
Soon, Loli realized there must be some reason behind this, otherwise Xi Wei would never have done such a thing.
Her thoughts were soon confirmed.
“Connie isn’t only not angry, she’s even happy. You don’t know what Connie went through. She was pushed out of the nest by her mother and almost eaten by wild beasts while her siblings watched. It was because of this incident that Connie is afraid of pain… Later, for some special reasons, she turned into a dragon egg and came into my hands.”
“How can they do that!” Nina frowned, saying indignantly, “How can parents treat their children like that? They are their own flesh and blood!”
“I remember Connie’s breed is Black Dragon. If it were a Five-Colored Evil Dragon, doing this wouldn’t be that outrageous,” Ruo Yi recalled.
“I’ve read many biographies of monsters before, and one of them described the Five-Colored Evil Dragons. For them, reproduction is just to complete the Mother Dragon’s mission to expand the dragon race, so they don’t care about the life or death of their offspring. Killing their offspring, or offspring killing their parents, are common occurrences. However, some Five-Colored Evil Dragons value their offspring more. These are usually of nobler bloodlines.”
“How can they be like that… No wonder they’re called Five-Colored Evil Dragons!”
Loli couldn’t understand the three-colored dragon’s values, but she did like Connie very much.
“That’s right!” Connie’s energetic voice came from outside the warehouse.
The silly dragon flew in cheerfully, carrying two barrels of Life Spring on her small wings.
She put down the barrels, hands on her hips, and stood righteously beside Xi Wei.
“I’m the kind of dragon without any noble blood, so I was just discarded. Later, I became pink and tender when I met Master!”
Then she took Xi Wei’s hand, her pretty face rubbing against his arm like a kitten, coquettishly saying.
“Have you ever seen a pink Black Dragon? So Master is my real father, and that mother dragon was just a tool dragon! Not my mother at all!!”
“Then who is Connie’s mother?”
Loli, seeing Connie’s mischievous look, couldn’t help but pinch Connie’s soft cheek and tease her with a smile.
“Wouldn’t your mother also be Master?”
Connie heard this, looked at Xi Wei, and said seriously.
“Mmm… It’s not impossible. After all, Master turned me into an egg. Male dragons can’t lay eggs, so it makes sense for Master to be the mother!”
Connie’s words made the surrounding maids burst into laughter.
Unbeknownst to them, Connie was also laughing, her smile faint, like a little fox that had eaten honey.
Only Xi Wei’s face darkened, and his hand reached out to Connie’s other cheek, pulling it forcefully. With Loli on one side and him on the other, they stretched Connie’s pretty face into a comical shape.
“Meee! Let… let go quickly!”
Connie stretched out her two short hands, playfully pushing at Xi Wei and Loli.
Tears welled up in her big eyes, and she complained with a wronged look.
“You drink dragon milk every day and still bully me! If you keep doing this, I won’t let you drink it anymore. What if my face gets stretched out?”
“If your face gets stretched out, so be it. You can eat bigger lollipops,” Ruo Yi mused, stroking her chin, seriously answering Connie’s worry.
…
After everyone had played for a while, they entered the official divine wine brewing phase.
This time, the brewing materials were truly luxurious.
The dragon blood, dragon heart, and dragon horns of a ninth-tier Giant Dragon, branches from the Life Tree, Life Spring, Life Divinity, Death Divinity, and Time Divinity.
With so many ingredients added, an ordinary person would explode on the spot after one sip.
As for the Death Divinity, Xi Wei added it deliberately.
Whether the Earth Goddess intended to greedily drink the wine or not, this Death Divinity would be enough for her to deal with for a while.
