5 Chapter five

"Bai Chen Huang Jong, may Huang Jong live for thousands of years." Ling Wang greeted.

Emperor Wu spoke, "You may rise."

Ling Wang rose, "From the northlands, one can imagine the dangers you've faced, considering everything else."

(For someone who's supposed to be a symbol of the mother of the world, she's a rather snarky two-faced wretched bastard isn't she?)

"Huang Ho lightly puts it." Ling Wang replied, "Compared to what's seen here, that is gentle a newborn pet kitten."

Empress Qin spoke, "Truly that makes sense."

Ling Wang sat down, Ling Wang leaned closer to Yin Liu, "Xiao Sa. Don't drink the wine, it reeks of corpse poison."

Yin Liu replied, "What's that?"

"Deadly and incurable unless your madness isn't anything but mere fatal." Ling Wang explained, "Also, it's just wretched to see how it affects people who are foolish enough to drink it, more than anything else. But no average person could've gained this, that's one thing for sure. I imagine you could only get this in the nether regions, of the Demon realm."

Ling Wang remarked, "Also liquor is bad for one's health as well."

"San Ge, if it's that bad…why would anyone give it to another?" Yin Liu inquired.

"It used to be a method of seeing if there was a Demon hiding amping in the others, Demons are immune to the stuff, but then it became something more twisted in vile down as the eras changed and people became more rather wretched and grotesque as well." Ling Wang explained, "Don't take it to heart, Xiao Sa. Something's are better not to question but except in the first place."

Ling Wang took the mead-filled cup, and poured it into the bowl, lighting a fire and letting it burn, "Fiddling the scent I imagine, for now anyway."

Ling Wang's eyes shined coldly, (How did a mere mortal gain such a thing in the first place? I can't imagine anyone with normal understandings would understand the consequence of feeding Yin Liu such a drink, to begin with?)

"San Ge." Yin Liu remarked, "You aren't going to drink it either?"

"Spirits aren't affected, the latter is the blood just cleanses the whole thing." Ling Wang explained, "Not that anyone should know that, it's a rather hidden secret as well."

Ling Wang sipped it, (But this amount is hard to brew, I could only imagine Er Ge making something like this, to spite Da Jie again, even after all these years.)

["San Di, you shouldn't worry, Xiao Sa is far more quick-witted than you would imagine. I imagine if anything else, he might pick up on hidden meaning in your words." Er Ge spoke.

"Really?" Ling Wang inquired, "Isn't Er Ge the smartest in the room here?"

"Aren't I?" Er Ge inquired, "Do you know how to cure this drink, or do I?"

"You, Er Ge." Qu Qu remarked.]

Ling Wang snorted, "I'm overthinking it again."
