Therefore, it may seem that Nalan Rou is always hiding in her room taking care of Nalan Chen, but in fact, she is genuinely caring for Nalan Chen; at the same time, she is also truly avoiding Ye Luo.

Because unconsciously, Nalan Rou has developed a different kind of affection for this man who has saved her life several times!

In the Martial Realm, the martial family hierarchy is very rigid, with strength being the most revered, and people are even categorized into different classes and ranks.

But Ye Luo is an exception, no one knows his background, yet Nalan Rou has personally witnessed the rapid improvement in his strength.

Nalan Rou still remembers the first time she met Ye Luo; back then, he was just a naïve young man who could only rely on brute force, throwing pebbles at his enemies. At that time, Nalan Rou even mistook him for a recluse from some remote mountainous area.

But how much time has passed since then? Ye Luo has now reached a realm that is absolutely unfathomable to others.

Outside Ye Luo’s room, Nalan Rou stands with hesitation, wanting to knock on his door, but feeling too embarrassed to do so.

As for Lu Yi?

Seeing Nalan Rou’s hesitation, she very consciously leaves, as Lu Yi, after rigorous training, is naturally exceptional at reading facial expressions and social nuances.

...

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Come in, young miss!"

It was Ye Luo’s voice. In fact, how could Ye Luo, with his abilities, fail to notice Nalan Rou outside the door? Initially, he was contemplating what exactly Nalan Rou wanted to do, so he didn’t speak. But seeing her pacing outside the door, hesitant to enter, Ye Luo could only invite her in.

Upon hearing Ye Luo’s voice, Nalan Rou was slightly startled, but she bit her lip and pushed the door open to enter.

Ye Luo looked at Nalan Rou and smiled lightly: "What brings the young miss to me? Is it about Manager Chen?"

"No, it’s not, I, I just saw that you seemed to be in a bad mood, so, I wanted to ask if something happened?"

At this moment, where was the formidable aura of the Nalan Family’s young miss in Nalan Rou? She was nothing but an ordinary young girl, even speaking with a bit of stuttering.

"I see, rest assured, young miss, I am fine. It’s just some reflections I had from the recent assessment, that’s all."

Ye Luo’s face was still adorned with a smile.

For some reason, Nalan Rou found this smile to be unexpectedly attractive, able to calm and pacify one’s mind.

After a pause, Nalan Rou said to Ye Luo: "Why do you still call me young miss? I am no longer a young miss; just call me Rou’er!"

As these words left Nalan Rou’s mouth, her cheeks couldn’t help but redden slightly.

Despite previously exuding the demeanor of a stern Family Head, Nalan Rou, after all, was only twenty-one or twenty-two years old.

At this age, in the Martial Realm, she was simply a young girl. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Ye Luo naturally would not fuss over a title, so he nodded and replied: "Alright, Rou’er."

However, his tone was clearly subdued, something Nalan Rou could easily perceive.

Suddenly, Nalan Rou waved her hand, and a jug of wine appeared in her grasp.

"Come, Ye Luo, this is the Immortal’s Elixir that I obtained a long time ago. This wine is not simple; even throughout the whole Great Tang, it is ranked among the best. Moreover, after I got it, I specially sealed it for a number of years. It is truly exquisite."

"Drinking alone is dull, so why not join me in savouring this jug of Immortal’s Elixir?"

Drink wine? Ye Luo never expected that Nalan Rou would come to share a drink.

But at this moment, Ye Luo was already feeling displeased, and he had never tasted the wine of the Martial Realm before. It wouldn’t hurt to try this so-called Immortal Drunk Wine to see how delicious it really is.

"Well then, since that’s the case, let’s drink to our heart’s content!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Ye Luo summoned a complete set of drinking utensils from his Qiankun Ring.

These were, in fact, brought from Earth by Ye Luo, and could be said to be truly unique.

Nalan Rou slightly clumsily set up the brewing equipment and began to cook the wine.

Most wines, to be consumed, are simply drunk straight, but there are also certain special wines that require specific methods of consumption.

The Immortal Drunk Wine, known as a rare treasure of the Great Tang Empire, surely couldn’t be so simple, could it?

To drink Immortal Drunk Wine, it is certainly not just a matter of opening the wine jar and drinking.

At first, Nalan Rou was a bit awkward, but clearly, she had made a point of learning how to brew, and in a moment, she became proficient.

Immortal Drunk Wine was not easy to obtain because a large number of medicinal ingredients were needed for its brewing. However, even brewing the wine was not so easily accomplished.

At this moment, beads of fragrant sweat formed on Nalan Rou’s forehead and neck, and her face flushed with color, causing Ye Luo to gaze at her, momentarily transfixed.

The so-called brewing was not simply about warming Immortal Drunk Wine with water, but rather involve enveloping the wine jar with Spiritual Power, continuously infusing Spiritual Power to raise the temperature, allowing the Immortal Drunk Wine to slowly vaporize.

Afterward, one would need to use Spiritual Power to quickly gather the vapor before it dissipates, and by compressing it, transform it back into a cup of wine.

It could be said that drinking Immortal Drunk Wine was not easy.

Nalan Rou had some cultivation, but her level was not high; plus, she had almost never actually done the brewing herself, so right now, even brewing seemed somewhat strenuous for her.

However, this was something Ye Luo could not really help with, because after all, he did not know how to brew wine.

After a short while, Nalan Rou had already brewed two cups of wine, handing one over to Ye Luo and holding the other herself.

"Please!"

Nalan Rou said to Ye Luo.

Ye Luo, unceremonious, drank down his cup of Immortal Drunk Wine in one gulp.

Nalan Rou did the same, without the slightest hesitation.

Why is it called Immortal Drunk Wine?

Is it just because it tastes good?

No, the name Immortal Drunk Wine actually carries other meanings.

At this moment, as Ye Luo swallowed the Immortal Drunk Wine, he immediately felt an exceptionally strong and warm aura filling his body.

This sensation was as if enveloping Ye Luo in addiction, making it hard for him to extricate himself.

A single cup of Immortal Drunk Wine caused some turmoil within Ye Luo’s Spiritual Power.

More precisely, it stirred an excitement, not just within Ye Luo’s Spiritual Power, but also his body began to heat up, including his consciousness.

At this time, Ye Luo looked at Nalan Rou and found her to be so gentle and lovely, causing an irresistible urge to hold her in his arms and cherish her.

Amid the hazy atmosphere, Ye Luo heard Nalan Rou let out a gentle exclamation, which sounded so enchantingly alluring.
