Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 746: Chapter 746 - Suddenly there are several love rivals

”Such a pity! If it had been little girl Lu Linlang herself who came, it would have been much more fun to tease her...”

Ye Yun chuckled, feeling a hint of regret. The illusion he created was naturally the fragrance of the wine Lu Linlang crafted one hundred thousand years ago, which shocked this puppet avatar to such a degree. One could say Ye Yun’s ability to deceive was now flawless.

”Strange, how could you brew such a Nine Grades Shaohua? It’s completely against reason!”

The chubby woman turned around, her gaze burning with intensity as she stared at Ye Yun.

”Nothing in this world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. Originally, there was no Nine Grades Shaohua in the world either; didn’t Wine Fairy Lord create it later?” Ye Yun spread his hands, laughing. ”Since Wine Fairy Lord could create it, other people could naturally find another way. What do you think?”

Upon hearing these profound words, the chubby woman lowered her head and began to contemplate seriously. Ye Yun’s words had clearly struck a significant chord within her.

”Poet Immortal Lord has arrived!” a female disciple from the Wine Fairy Palace suddenly shouted from outside.

Poem Fairy? Ye Yun’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly recalling a famous historical figure.

”HAHAHA, Wine Fairy Sister, your puppet has come out again!”

Accompanying a hearty laugh, a scholar in green robes slowly walked into the courtyard. The scholar was very young. He held a fan in his hand with a calm demeanor, elegant and unrestrained.

”Greetings, Poem Fairy!”

The chubby woman came back to her senses and immediately curtsied, showing her respectful attitude.

This Poem Fairy is at the Second Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm, not too weak... Ye Yun’s eyes flickered as he thought to himself. As for the chubby woman, she was just an External Avatar, her cultivation base being at the tenth level of the Eternal Realm, yet she still hadn’t broken through to True God.

”Is the Nine Grades Shaohua ready?” the Poem Fairy asked Ye Yun intently.

”It is,” Ye Yun replied with a smile, his pupils constricting slightly at that moment.

”Let me have a taste quickly!” The Poem Fairy was overjoyed. He quickly walked over, grabbed a wine ladle, and scooped some from the barrel.

”TSK TSK TSK, this is the taste...” The Poem Fairy’s face showed sheer bliss as he brought the ladle to his lips and gently took a sip. ”What excellent wine!”

The Poem Fairy couldn’t stop singing its praises.

”Greetings, Poet Immortal Lord. May I ask for your name?” Ye Yun clasped his hands and asked with a smile.

Now he truly suspected that the figure before him might be the one he knew so well from his previous life.

”I am Li Yubai, the Poem Fairy among the Eight Great Immortals,” the Poem Fairy responded politely, his face full of smiles. ”Your skill in brewing is unparalleled. You and I should get much closer in the future!”

Being a lover of wine, he naturally had great admiration for a master brewer like Ye Yun. Even though he was at the Divine Monarch Realm, there wasn’t an ounce of disdain for the young man dressed in white standing before him, who was only at the Life and Death Realm.

Li Yubai? Ye Yun was slightly stunned. The name was strikingly similar to Li Bai’s. Could it be that he traveled here from another time?

”Poet Immortal Lord, I have a good friend who also likes to drink and write poetry. He once wrote a poem called ’Bring in the Wine’...” Ye Yun’s eyes twinkled as he said this in a meaningful tone. Once finished, he focused intently on the Poem Fairy’s reaction.

”Bring in the Wine?” The Poem Fairy’s face lit up with interest immediately. He quickly took two steps forward and asked eagerly, ”Friend, please tell me right away; I want to appreciate it...”

”Have you not seen, the waters of the Huanghe come from the heavens above...” Ye Yun cleared his throat and started reciting the famous poem ”Bring in the Wine.”

He had only recited a few lines when the Poem Fairy exclaimed, clapping his hands in admiration, ”What a splendid poem!” He then brought the ladle of Nine Grades Shaohua to his lips and downed it in one go.

”HAHA, wonderful! Your friend’s poetic talent is truly high, rarely seen in my lifetime!” The Poem Fairy raised his thumb, speaking with great excitement.

”HAHA, Poem Fairy, you flatter me,” Ye Yun laughed.

It appears this Li Yubai isn’t the same Poem Fairy he knows. That gives him peace of mind.

”Wine Fairy, can you give me this barrel of Nine Grades Shaohua?” The Poem Fairy turned around, gazing at the chubby woman with a pleading expression.

”I will give you half.” After a moment’s consideration, the chubby woman agreed.

”Thank you!” The Poem Fairy was delighted. He pulled out a wine gourd, aimed it at the barrel, and with a whoosh, half of the Nine Grades Shaohua from the barrel immediately disappeared into it.

Having received half a barrel of Nine Grades Shaohua, the Poem Fairy was in high spirits. He paced back and forth a couple of steps before suddenly raising his head. ”Wine Fairy Sister, after your true self comes out of seclusion, will you still be able to brew Nine Grades Shaohua?” the Poem Fairy asked in a grave voice.

”I’m afraid not.” The chubby woman’s expression dimmed; she replied in a low voice.

”What a pity... In the future, when Immortal Weng comes out of seclusion, wouldn’t he strip you of your title as Wine Fairy and bestow it on this friend here?” The Poem Fairy let out a sigh.

”I no longer care. What joy is there in life, or what sorrow in death? I’ve seen through everything...” The chubby woman’s eyes briefly lost focus as she responded in a low voice.

”You do seem to have an open-minded view. However, within the Changhe Immortal Palace, as we live forever, troubles will always accompany us...” The Poem Fairy sighed, then brought up his wine gourd and took a swig.

The chubby woman’s expression turned gloomy.

Isn’t Immortal Weng the Wine Fairy’s master? Would he be so heartless as to strip his disciple of the Wine Fairy title? Ye Yun knit his brows. As for this title, Ye Yun believed Lu Linlang wouldn’t mind. And he himself, if granted the title of Wine Fairy, would care even less. Ye Yun had no intention of staying long in Changhe Immortal Palace anyway.

”Wine Fairy Sister, having received your half-barrel of Nine Grades Shaohua, I ought to give you a word of caution in advance...” After thinking for a while, the Poem Fairy spoke seriously.

”What is it?” the chubby woman looked up and asked.

”If you lose the title of Wine Fairy, you would be just a normal disciple of Immortal Weng. As far as I know, some people in the other Immortal Palaces covet your beauty and plan to take you into their palace...” the Poem Fairy said with a wry smile.

”I know some people harbor ill intentions. Tens of thousands of years ago, they had already given me various hints, but I rejected all of them...” the chubby woman snorted coldly.

”Wine Fairy Sister, to be blunt, once you lose your standing, you will inevitably be taken in by one of the Immortal Palaces. By then, I’m afraid you won’t have a choice, whether you like it or not...” the Poem Fairy said helplessly.

”My true self’s heart may be like dead ashes, but even if I were to enter another Immortal Palace, how could I possibly let those people have their way?” the chubby woman clenched her teeth, declaring resolutely.

”Well, that’s good!” The Poem Fairy’s expression calmed. He paused for several seconds, then said again, ”It’s a shame my combat power isn’t high enough. Otherwise, I would certainly help Wine Fairy Sister fend off this disaster!”

”Thank you, Senior Brother Poem Fairy!” The chubby woman clasped her hands, a grateful expression on her face as she spoke softly, ”Those few fellows are all currently highly favored by Immortal Weng. Senior Brother Poem Fairy, it’s best for you not to get involved in this messy affair!”

”I understand,” the Poem Fairy nodded.

Upon hearing their conversation, a curious expression appeared on Ye Yun’s face.

What a situation. Suddenly, he had quite a few rivals in love. This truly made him very happy. Currently, Lu Linlang’s true self was in seclusion, and Ye Yun had been worrying about being bored after entering The Inside of the Long River Fairy Palace. Now, there was finally something to do.
