26 She Was Drunk and Saw Bai Xiu

"Young Lady, how about I go to the Scorpion Valley? You just have to wait here. If there is something you want to convey to their ancestors, I will help you to convey it."

Elder Yan really didn't agree with Xue Ji's idea. He tried his best to prevent her from leaving. If Yun Mingyue came back and held him accountable, he would be unable to say anything.

Xue Ji just chuckled in response to those words. The purpose she wants to travel is to find the identity of the body of the girl she resides in. The older man would not be able to understand.

After all, she couldn't possibly stay in this sect forever. This place is only a temporary stopover. She still had a lot of things to do on this vast earth.

"I can come and go as I please," Xue Ji said flatly. "Don't act like I'm under house arrest."

"I dare not act like that. Young Lady Xue, I just—"

"I want to eat osmanthus cake," said Xue Ji, who immediately cut off Elder Yan's sentence.

Elder Yan was speechless. He was talking seriously, but the girl ignored him and instead asked for food.

Can the girl be serious just a little bit?

The old man took a deep breath and then asked, "Does Young Lady want me to ask someone to bring you an osmanthus cake?"

"Precisely. Don't forget the two best jars of wine too!"

Elder Yan's expression immediately changed. "Miss, but…."

Xue Ji's eyes immediately bulged sharply. "Do you also want to forbid me to drink wine?!"

Elder Yan immediately shook his head. "Not really, but…." His words immediately stopped upon seeing Xue Ji's sharp gaze. Finally, he sighed. "Okay. Please wait a moment. I will ask someone to send the things that Miss needs."

Afraid of angering Xue Ji, Elder Yan immediately left the Bamboo Mansion. The girl's emotions were not very good and were volatile. It's better if he immediately grants her wants.

After Elder Yan left, Xue Ji snorted. She stepped back into her lounger, then lay back lazily there. Right now, she really needed anything that would satisfy her tongue and stomach.

At that moment, she suddenly smelled blood coming from the end of her sleeve. There is a speck of the Scorpion Gang's blood stain that turned out to be stuck there.

With disdain, Xue Ji immediately took off her outer clothes, leaving only her inner robe. Then she threw the outer garment in any direction.

"The smell of the Scorpion Gang's blood is indeed more disgusting," she muttered as she closed her eyes.

A few moments later, the door of the residence was knocked on from outside. "Who?" Xue Ji asked lazily.

"Young Lady, we… we…." The voice of a young man stuttering rang out from outside the door.

Xue Ji immediately got up to open the door. She saw two young men carrying a basket of osmanthus cakes and two jars of wine. Their faces were pale. Their hands were shaking too.

The corners of Xue Ji's brows instantly raised. Then she laughed. "Do I look so scary that both of you are shaking?"

"Nn… no." They immediately shook their heads and looked down in fear. "We… we were ordered to deliver this."

Xue Ji displayed a smile that looked so cute. She then took over the food and wine the two young men had brought.

However, the two youths could not be fooled by Xue Ji's sweet smile. After all, they had seen how the girl had almost killed the elders and had also tortured the members of the Scorpion Gang. How could they forget?

"Then… then we will return. I hope Young Lady likes the dishes we bring," said one of the youths. They immediately bowed politely and hurried off.

Xue Ji shrugged nonchalantly. "I didn't scare them. Why should they be scared?" she muttered and then turned around.

The extremely sweet aroma of the osmanthus cake then entered Xue Ji's sense of smell. It was a scent she had not smelled for hundreds of years. She really missed that dish.

Her slightly trembling hands took one of the cakes. Then she immediately took a bite. It was a very delicious taste.

In the past, no matter what kind of food always tasted bad. However, after being trapped for hundreds of years in the spirit world, Xue Ji finally realized that a simple cake like this turned out to be something special.

Xue Ji then opened the jar of wine and immediately lifted the jar high. A mocking grin appeared on her lips. "Damn Bai Xiu! Do you think I won't be able to drink wine?"

Without a doubt, she immediately took a sip of the drink. Her eyes were tightly shut as she felt a bitter and slightly sweet liquid run down her throat. After that, she burst out laughing.

"Good wine!" she exclaimed happily. She went back to eating the osmanthus cake and sipping the wine in turn. However, before one jar of wine was finished, her head was already feeling dizzy and throbbing.

Xue Ji immediately shook her head. Now her vision became blurry and doubled. It made her snort. "So weak! This girl must have never drank wine," she muttered incoherently.

This is a little annoying. She massaged her head for a while. Suddenly there was a knock on the residence door. The beat is calm and unhurried.

"Who is that?"

No answer was heard. Then the knock on the door came again. Xue Ji snorted in annoyance. Finally, she rose from her seat. Carrying a jug of wine, she stepped to open the door.

Xue Ji's footsteps were unstable and staggered. This surprised her a little. Her mind was still quite conscious, but somehow her body felt weak. Could it be that her soul was unaffected by alcohol, but her body could not withstand alcohol?

Xue Ji frowned deeply. After struggling for a while with her frail body, she was finally able to reach the door.

"Who came at the wrong time?" She grumbled. After the door opened, a familiar figure finally entered her field of vision.

A man dressed in white was standing in front of the door. His face was covered by a silver mask. His black hair fell partly over his shoulders like a waterfall.

Xue Ji's eyes narrowed. The figure of the man looks blurred and doubled. However, a name suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Bai Xiu?" Xue Ji muttered in disbelief. Is that really Bai Xiu?

"You … you ...."

"What a disobedient girl. Didn't I tell you not to get drunk?"
