My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 923 - 511: The Temptation of the Beauty Fruit (Double-Length)

Chapter 923: Chapter 511: The Temptation of the Beauty Fruit (Double-Length)

The look on Li Zhibai’s face was normal, only her clothes were heavily permeated with the strong aroma of alcohol because she had consumed quite a bit of the spirit wine prepared by Zhu Pingniang.

Why was she drinking alone?

Li Zhibai thought to herself that because the Sect Leader had left, she was drinking alone. If the Sect Leader were still here, she wouldn’t be alone.

But she could not say this to Zhu Pingniang.

Seeing that Li Zhibai didn’t respond, Zhu Pingniang stomped her foot in annoyance, "Ah Bai, what are you doing!"

"Drinking?"

"I obviously know you’re drinking." As the rich aroma wafted up, Zhu Pingniang asked somewhat angrily, "How much did you drink?"

"Not much." Li Zhibai pondered and replied, "You were gone for a while, so I just drank for a bit."

"Why like this." Zhu Pingniang pursed her lips.

Why didn’t Ah Bai wait for her and drank by herself?

Today, the girls in the shop had already taken the opportunity of Li Zhibai’s ’first’ drink, which had made Zhu Pingniang very unhappy, and now even the wine she had saved was drunk before she had the first sip, which made her feel a bit aggrieved.

Couldn’t she even wait for a short while?

But when she saw the wine stains on the corner of Li Zhibai’s mouth, her mindset suddenly changed. Maybe this wasn’t a bad thing?

If Ah Bai couldn’t resist drinking the wine, doesn’t it prove that the wine she’s saved all these years is indeed good stuff?

Zhu Pingniang took out the dishes she’d just brought from the feast, one by one, then led Li Zhibai by the hand to sit at the table and asked, "How does it taste? These two jars you opened are the ones I inherited from the Celestial Hearing Pavilion back when I tricked... no, received them as gifts from the Pavilion Master."

"..." Li Zhibai gave her a helpless look and said, "It tastes great."

"I think so too."

Zhu Pingniang nodded, and then she was happy—at least she seemed very happy on the surface.

It doesn’t matter.

No matter what happens, as long as Ah Bai likes it... she’s happy.

She didn’t ask Li Zhibai, who usually led a life free of desires, why she couldn’t resist the wine aroma, nor what had just happened.

Ah Bai has her own freedom, being her younger sister and someone who admires her, Zhu Pingniang is really the smartest girl.

Even if a little vixen had come by while she wasn’t around...

It! Doesn’t! Matter!

Zhu Pingniang bit her silver teeth, but she still maintained a warm smile on her face.

As for who the little vixen in her mind was, it was, of course, a girl hidden in the Flower Moon Building, an unknown descendant of an old acquaintance of Li Zhibai.

Zhu Pingniang felt certain that someone had come by earlier.

"Ah Bai, I won’t ask." Zhu Pingniang smiled.

"...Huh?" Li Zhibai was slightly stunned, then shook her head: "Alright, don’t ask then."

"Pour me a drink." Zhu Pingniang snorted.

Li Zhibai complied with her request.

"Roll me a lotus leaf pancake, like how I rolled it for you earlier." Zhu Pingniang added.

Li Zhibai indulged her, reaching out to roll a lotus leaf pancake with some of Xu Chang’an’s evening dishes for Zhu Pingniang, taking a couple of bites herself, feeling that with the students’ culinary talents, the aftertaste of the wine seemed even richer.

Seeing Li Zhibai pamper her grievances, Zhu Pingniang’s little bit of unease and jealousy disappeared completely.

Ah Bai... still likes her.

Zhu Pingniang thought she shouldn’t be too petty. After all, it was an old acquaintance of Ah Bai’s, and in terms of seniority, that person was her junior. Not to mention that the girl in the Flower Moon Building was her adopted daughter...

How could she be jealous of her own daughter?

Thinking this, Zhu Pingniang completely let go of the matter, focusing on drinking with Li Zhibai and chatting about the little secrets of girls, picking and choosing to share with her the various interesting stories from her years of running the Flower Moon Building.

The conversation and the atmosphere were filled with different aromas of wine, and because many were immortal wines infused with Spiritual Qi, it wasn’t overwhelming.

"Ah Bai, do you really think it’s delicious?" Zhu Pingniang put down her wine cup and said in disbelief, "When I tasted it, the wines all seemed to taste the same, just filled with Spiritual Qi..."

No matter what wine it was, they all tasted the same. Although, because of the excellent ingredients, they were beneficial to cultivators’ cultivation, from the taste perspective, after removing the alcohol flavor, there wasn’t much striking about them.

She didn’t know how Ah Bai could just say ’delicious’ so easily.

"The taste is different." Li Zhibai thought for a moment and reminded her, "You’re from the Hehuan Sect. What you consume is not the taste, which is why you feel they’re all the same."

"Is that so?" Zhu Pingniang blinked and then nodded.

That’s indeed true.

She practiced the Charm Technique, studied the Six Arts for Women, and cultivated a heart with seven apertures, emphasizing the concept of ’emotion.’

So when Zhu Pingniang tasted something, her instinct wasn’t to appreciate the taste, but rather the emotions contained within it.

And in these wines, although many could be considered treasures, to say that the brewers infused them with much emotion... would be a joke.

That’s why Zhu Pingniang found them not very tasty.

In contrast, she was very fond of the wine brewed by Liu Qingluo, even though it contained no precious ingredients, she liked it so much she even sent a jar up the mountain.

"I really like eating the things Chang’an makes." Zhu Pingniang blinked, "Did he put emotions into it? Because it tastes so good."

"It’s not just you and I eating, also Ms. Yun." Li Zhibai reminded her.

"No wonder I like it so much." Zhu Pingniang chuckled.

Xu Chang’an’s evening dishes were masterpieces, not only reaching the pinnacle of taste but the earnestness contained within them was, in Zhu Pingniang’s eyes, the most striking ’flavor’ of all.
