Chapter 138: On the trip to Demon Woods, myriad of beasts shall hail me as King!

“Cough cough…”

After a big mouthful of wine, his throat felt like it was going to bleed, and the burning feeling made Su Yi red from his neck to his entire face.

“Haha, so carefree and easygoing. This kid is not bad.”

The old man was surprised when he watched Su Yi. Then he gave a quiet chuckle, his eyes shining with admiration. This boy seemed greedy, but he was easygoing, upright, and carefree, unlike a hypocrite.

“Senior has seen something funny.” Su Yi finally handed the wine gourd back to the old man.

The old man took over and drank. His eyes shone as he mumbled, “Success or failure, right or wrong, they don’t seem to matter as much once your back is turned.” The lush mountains will still be there, but how many sunsets will have the wonderful afterglow? A white-haired fisherman works in the shoals. They’ve seen plenty of the spring breeze and fall moon. A jug of cheap wine toasts our delightful gathering; so many significant matters, past and current, are discussed with laughter!”

The words landed, and the old man sighed as he seemed to have disclosed his emotions.

Su Yi turned his head and peered at the old man. He softly chuckled and said, “Senior’s speech and drinking wine don’t match, not a single bit.”

“What do you mean?” The old man turned his head and looked at Su Yi curiously.

“The wine is strong, yet the speech…” Su Yi lightly snorted and shook his head as he told the old man, “Never mind; Junior is afraid that he will say the wrong thing.”

“Just speak out what is on your mind.” The old man gazed at Su Yi with his eyes filled with expectation.

“Then this Junior shall be insolent.”

Su Yi glanced at the old man and stated, “From Senior’s speech, Junior can feel as if a long lake of history is flowing before Senior’s eyes as the days of striving in Jiangshan are floating beneath your feet. It’s just that things had changed as time passed. Within your sigh, it reveals your benevolence and tragedy, as when you finally got used to it, the cloud has become light, and the wind has quieted down.”

Su Yi took a little pause before continuing: “Senior was regretting. Regrettably, no one was willing to be a friend who would always be with you, to share toasts and speak cheerfully over a glass of wine, allowing many spring winds and autumn moons to pass. Now Senior should still be alone, occasionally humming and quietly singing, just like a night like today, amid the vast lake-like history that has become years of vicissitudes.”

The old man continued to observe Su Yi, and soon there were waves inside his brown eyes, which gradually calmed.

After another pause, Su Yi glanced at the old man and asked, “Just an expression of feelings. Junior is too bold, but am I right or wrong?”

“Haha…”

The old man laughed. After drinking a mouthful of wine, he threw the wine gourd back over to Su Yi and smilingly answered, “Whether you are right or wrong is not important. The important thing is tonight I have you, this little kid, to exchange toasts with, which I will regard as an unexpected gain. Excellent.”

“Junior is fortunate.”

Without hesitation, Su Yi took over the wine gourd and gulped another mouthful of it. The wine, however, was good stuff. Not drinking would be a waste because he might not be able to have another drink in the future.

“Drinking to one’s fill and madly singing in these empty days. Soaring domineeringly for whom? On the trip to Demon Woods, a myriad of beasts shall hail me as King. The tiger in my heart has jolted awake as it roars towards the sky, making the earth rumble. Laughing towards the sky with a sword and a knife, it does not even compare to tonight’s drinking!”

Su Yi guffawed while drinking and spoke when inspiration struck. He felt as if his burning blood was boiling. Since he had come to this different world, from now onwards, he shall live as glamorously as a blooming summer flower and die as serenely as an autumn leaf. Even if he could not be the same as General Wei Qing, there would still be blood spilled and guns fired.

“Drinking to one’s fill and madly singing in these empty days. Soaring domineeringly for whom? On the trip to Demon Woods, a myriad of beasts shall hail me as King. The tiger in my heart has jolted awake as it roars towards the sky, making the earth rumble. Laughing towards the sky with a sword and a knife, it does not even compare to tonight’s drinking……Good……Good…… What a good “laughing towards the sky with a sword and a knife; it does not even compare to tonight’s drinking.” It is utterly robust. Excellent…”

The old man listened intently and murmured to himself. Finally, he couldn’t contain himself and clapped his hands. As if affected by it, he raised his chest, his eyes shining. He could tell that the kid had created the poem.

“Senior has flattered me.” Su Yi also chuckled and drank another mouthful of wine.

“Se……”

When Su Yi intended to speak again after that portion of wine had passed down his throat, he noticed his vision was fuzzy and his thoughts were racing. The burning blood in his body appeared to be boiling up, with a scorching aura that attempted to burn off his robe. Su Yi then fell forward on the ground.

“Be careful of my wine…” The old man was not surprised as he watched Su Yi fall. In particular, he was more concerned about his wine as his movements were like a ghost. Before Su Yi could fall completely, the wine gourd was already back in his hand.

“Boom!”

Su Yi fell with all four limbs pointed towards the sky. His entire face was red like a fireball.

The old man glanced towards Su Yi, who had fallen at his side as a smile hung on his face, and his eyes shone with approval as he softly spoke: “Yuan Soul Realm cultivation. He drank my wine, but yet, he could last this long. So extremely rare!”

“What the…?”

Suddenly, the eyes of the old man changed. He could see that the aura on Su Yi’s body was surging as a layer of light seeped out to cage his entire body. That aura was very arrogant and mighty.

“This is unusual; looks like this kid is quite special…” There was a surprise in the old man’s eyes before his expression grew calm as he sat on a huge rock, not far from Su Yi.

While drinking alone, the old man held the wine gourd and glanced at the moon and the distant sea of mountains.

Su Yi was drowsy and felt that his mind was full of dizziness as if the whole world was spinning as he fell unconscious.

Su Yi was bewildered and felt as if his body was on fire, attempting to burn it off. The burning heat then quickly entered his Yuan Qi Whirlpool within his Dantian, forcing his body to warm up.

Early morning as the clouds filled up the sky.

White, thick smoke followed the wind and floated around the sea of mountains, and from far away, it looked as if a painting was spreading out before the eyes.

Su Yi woke up, but what he felt first was the changes within his body. He had just broken into Yuan Soul Realm Eighth Grade, but now it unexpectedly seemed like there were signs of breaking through again.

“That wine, it must not be any normal wine!”

Su Yi immediately recalled that potent wine. It must be an effect of it, as the old man had mentioned before that the wine was good stuff.

“Not good…”

Thinking of that old man, Su Yi finally remembered and jumped up.

Su Yi had forgotten about the 500-kilogram heavy sword and almost fell on top of it. Luckily, he was no longer what he was before, and he didn’t embarrass himself by stumbling.

Looking at the surroundings, that old man had disappeared without a trace. Su Yi’s heart clenched as he immediately searched his belongings.

All of the interspatial bags were still here, and his body was alright. Su Yi finally felt reassured.

As for the old man from last night, Su Yi did not ponder too much of it.

That was a strong cultivator. From the way he spoke, although he had thousands of knots in his heart, he was like the drifting clouds and the wild geese; therefore, passing by this place was normal. Maybe he had come for the rumored Blood Spiritual Ginseng and realized that was something he could not really touch and then left. Furthermore, those kinds of strong cultivators definitely wouldn’t bother with such a rookie like him.

With just a few mouthfuls of wine, Su Yi’s cultivation had once again raised to almost Yuan Soul Realm Ninth Grade. This unexpected gain made Su Yi feel delighted as the steps to breaking through the Yuan Soul Realm were getting closer.
