Journey to the West: Starting by taking Sun Wukong as my disciple!-Chapter 222 Hmm, that tastes good

She softened her voice a bit.

"You may go out and play some more."

Hearing this, Xuan Feng shook her head repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, that’s not what I mean. This, this is to honor Your Majesty!"

As she spoke, Xuan Feng frantically unwrapped the Peach Blossom Brew.

The Flying Dragon soup was too complicated; it felt like it would be very troublesome to unpack.

"Leave," Nuwa’s voice suddenly turned indifferent; she disliked it when others defied her words.

"But, Your Majesty! I—" Xuan Feng’s face turned pale, but she kept moving her hands.

"I said leave!"

Nuwa spoke again, the authoritative tone resonating in Xuan Feng’s ears, commanding and incontrovertible!

Xuan Feng’s face turned deathly pale, and her hands stopped abruptly.

She didn’t have the courage to argue! She didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.

It’s over!!!

Xuan Feng felt a wave of despair inside her heart; she still couldn’t move the Empress!

Then her offering of Vital Blood was in vain!

Staggering to her feet, Xuan Feng placed the food on the ground but didn’t take it with her. Having already offered it to the Empress, there was no reason to take it back.

If the Empress chose to throw it away, Xuan Feng couldn’t and wouldn’t say a thing.

Upon leaving the palace gates, Xuan Feng felt lightheaded and heavy-hearted, her face etched with sorrow. Her heart was heavy with oppression, with no way to vent.

She could say she had completely lost her investment!!!

Having lost four drops of Vital Blood, it would take her at least two to three months of intensive care to recover under normal circumstances. The Imperial Court of Nuwa was usually secluded and closed off.

It was only because she served as a mount that she could leave the Imperial Court of Nuwa every few years to get some fresh air.

If she lost more Vital Blood, it would affect her foundation!

Without recovering her Vital Blood, she dared not go to Chaos Residence again. She feared she might not resist indulging herself to her own detriment.

But this way, it was akin to completely wasting this opportunity to scout the scene. If she wanted to go again, it would be at least three or four years!

And it’s not just a matter of three or four years—being unable to eat the dishes from Chaos Residence for just a couple of months could drive her mad.

There was nothing she could do; she truly couldn’t blame herself for lacking discipline, as the dishes from Chaos Residence were simply too delicious!

Not eating for a day felt like an eternity!

Xuan Feng’s heart was bleeding at this moment.

If only she had known, she wouldn’t have bought the Peach Blossom Brew, or perhaps, she shouldn’t have taken it out in the first place, after all, Shopkeeper Chen had said that Peach Blossom Brew could be purchased indefinitely, to be enjoyed forever.

Even if she had taken it back to drink, it wouldn’t have been against the rule.

But now, she couldn’t take back the Peach Blossom Brew, along with the Flying Dragon soup.

It would have been fine if the Empress had drunk them, but as things stood, it was equivalent to squandering an entire jar!

After all, this was a rare and fine brew she had exchanged for an entire drop of Vital Blood!

Alas!

Xuan Feng shook her head and sighed with sorrow. To speak more was just to weep!

Nuwa glanced at the Flying Dragon soup and the Peach Blossom Brew on the ground, her expression a bit displeased.

This Xuan Feng, even after leaving, didn’t take these things with her.

She had to clean it up herself.

As for what Xuan Feng had said, Nuwa didn’t take it seriously at all.

With the experience of a Saint, how could she be compared to a mere Great Luo like Xuan Feng? Nuwa didn’t dare to claim that she had tasted all the delicacies of the world.

But she believed without a doubt that no gourmet food could move her, simply because, she was a Saint.

Raising her fair wrist, Nuwa was about to make these two things disappear in front of her with a wave of her hand.

But the very next moment, she stopped abruptly, as a hint of surprise appeared on Yu Yan’s face. That scent, how fragrant, so fresh and mild, just the smell of it was refreshing to the mind and spirit.

Nuwa looked toward the ground at the Peach Blossom Brew that had been unsealed but not fully opened.

The scent seemed to be emanating from there, subtle, but impossible to hide from her.

A renewed interest sparkled in her eyes, it was obviously wine, yet why was there a fruit fragrance as well, Xuan Feng called this a Divine Object, surely an exaggeration, but this wine was indeed quite novel.

Even with her extensive experience, she had never come across a wine with such an aroma.

She wanted to drink, the thought unexpectedly popped into Nuwa’s mind.

Immediately, an expression of surprise appeared on her flawless face; she had actually been enticed!

Nuwa paused, her mind stirred, and the Peach Blossom Brew automatically flew into her hands, as she eyed the delicate wine pot before her.

Nuwa nodded, what harm was there in tasting it?

She was simply without desires, and not one to suppress whims, which was the behavior of the bald monks of the West, since they had never stopped calculating.

When she had a whim, she would act upon it without repression.

With a flick of her jade finger, the stopper on the wine pot seemed to come alive, opening by itself, and as the stopper was removed, the fragrance of the wine instantly filled the air from the pot.

Compared to the previously fleeting scent, the aroma was now more concentrated and intoxicating.

If before there was only a hint of sweetness, then the rich taste of wine that now intertwined elevated the flavor.

After all, it was wine!

Looking at the petals floating on the surface, Nuwa’s brows lifted and her entire face became more animated.

The presentation was not bad at all!

Even Saints would have a certain fondness for things that were pleasing to the eye.

Holding the wine pot, she lightly pressed her vermilion lips to it, sipping the wine as a splash of colors filled Nuwa’s pupils.

What a lovely drink, sweet and refreshing, yet mixed with the richness of alcohol, smooth and lingering, making one’s mind and spirit ripple.

Nuwa leaned back in her seat, feeling an indescribable comfort and relaxation throughout her body. The wine had a slight spiciness, stimulating the tip of the tongue, yet it was not unpleasantly abrupt.

The clear wine went down her throat without a hint of burning, yet it turned into a warm current in her belly.

The medicinal effect of the Flat Peach also came into play, the warmth nurturing her entire body, truly miraculous.

Nuwa’s holy countenance at that moment turned into one of delight; she liked the taste of the Peach Blossom Brew!

Unsure of how the Goddess would regard her Peach Blossom Brew, Xuan Feng paced back and forth outside the hall doors, her long skirt kicking up in arcs, her face etched with worry.

Her concern wasn’t for anything else but the uncertain future of the wine and dishes she had purchased with her hard-earned Vital Blood.

Xuan Feng restlessly tugged at her hair, fretting. She had been too hasty earlier and had opened the Peach Blossom Brew carelessly; would Nuwa become annoyed upon seeing it and obliterate it on the spot?

At the thought, a wave of despair washed over Xuan Feng; she hoped dearly this wouldn’t happen!

She was still waiting to take it if it remained intact by the end, after all, she could drink it!

Xuan Feng closed her eyes and began to pray inwardly; Your Highness above, if you don’t wish to eat the Flying Dragon soup, just throw it away, but please be merciful to the Peach Blossom Brew, she was still looking forward to drinking it!

Gulping softly, Nuwa’s face beamed with pleasure, a stark contrast to her previous restraint.

It was truly enjoyable!

Nuwa slightly tilted her head back, revealing her fair neck, such a delicious drink, she had never tasted before!

She had previously been indifferent towards wine, neither disliking nor favoring it, but this Peach Blossom Brew completely changed her perception of wine.

Nuwa felt that she might have fallen in love with this taste, ridiculous as it may have sounded, but that was the truth.

The emotions that had emerged in her heart at that moment proved that wine could indeed be this delightful!

If such deliciousness qualified as a Divine Object of wines, then... perhaps it was not an overstatement after all!

Apparently, Xuan Feng hadn’t exaggerated, Nuwa thought, although she had considered that no delicacy could ever move her.

But now that it presented itself, she would eat more of it, and once accustomed, she wouldn’t be moved by it anymore!

In front of the hall, Xuan Feng sat on the steps, biting her lower lip, her heart filled with all sorts of analysis.
