Book 5: Chapter 2: Are You Fine With Black Tea Only?
After followed Su Xiangxue to Kamasutra Sect, Bai Qiuran was placed in the best guest room. Thrice a day, beautiful girls brought meals for him. His life quality was much better than when he lived on Seven Stars Peak.
However, these girls only sent food and vegetables, cleaned up the dishes, but did not dare to make any teasing actions against him. The clothes were all covered tightly, and they didn’t even dare to talk to him.
If it weren’t for the Soul Awareness which told him that these girls were all cultivators who had practiced the Kamasutra Sect technique, Bai Qiuran would really think that he had come to a temple where nuns had hair.
As for Su Xiangxue, she immediately devoted herself to handling sect affairs after returning. Bai Qiuran didn’t understand what the girl was thinking, but she wouldn’t hurt him anyway, so he settled here with peace of mind.
After a few days, Su Xiangxue, who had dealt with official duties, sent someone to invite him. The Sect Master of the Kamasutra Sect set up a sumptuous banquet in the courtyard to entertain her close friends.
When Bai Qiuran was brought to the yard by a disciple of the Kamasutra Sect, the table was already full of delicacies from all over the world, and some even dishes made with spirit beasts. The smell alone can make people’s index finger moved. (1)
Bai Qiuran sat down opposite Su Xiangxue with a smile on his face and said:
“Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, you have evolved from the poor girl back then into a rich woman.”
“Hehe, if you want to live with me in these rich days, you are always welcome.”
Su Xiangxue lifted the white porcelain pot on the table and poured the contents of a cup for Bai Qiuran.
Bai Qiuran subconsciously lifted it up and took a sip, then said in surprise:
“It’s not wine?”
“My stock was all looted by the elder Huangfu Feng last time, and a new batch of One-Night Stand wine has not yet been brewed.”
Su Xiangxue smiled and asked:
“This time there is only black tea for the dinner, are you fine with it?”
Hearing her words, Bai Qiuran didn’t know why he felt weird, but he didn’t understand, so he replied:
“Of course, it’s not like I have to drink”
“This is a new tea shipped from Yunlu. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best black tea in the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.”
While introducing Su Xiangxue, she calmly added more “condiments” to the pot, and at the same time shook the porcelain pot in her hand. Seeing that Bai Qiuran had finished drinking, she immediately served Bai Qiuran another cup of black tea.
Then, she put down the teacup and looked at Bai Qiuran with ardent eyes, recalling what You Meiqiao said in her mind.
“Master, the dumbest way is the best way.”
The lovely disciple gave her a thumbs up.
“To deal with a dense log like Senior Sword Ancestor, we must give strong medicine!”
Black tea was really good tea, and the medicine was the strongest aphrodisiac specially made by the Kamasutra sect. It could even be effective for the Great Ascension stage cultivator. Su Xiangxue added more than ten times the required dose to the black tea. But even so, Su Xiangxue was still not sure whether this medicine would have an effect on the freak Bai Qiuran.
She watched nervously as Bai Qiuran pressed the teacup to his lips, feeling her heart pounding.
Drink it, drink it quickly.
Su Xiangxue urged in her heart, and Bai Qiuran didn’t notice the strangeness in the black tea, so he lifted it up and prepared to drink it all.
Unfortunately, the door of the yard was suddenly blown open by a hurricane. A disciple of the Kamasutra Sect wearing black gauze suddenly appeared in the yard and knelt on one knee.
“Sect Master! It’s not good!”
Seeing this person, Bai Qiuran put down the teacup and looked at her, but at this moment, Su Xiangxue veiled an unprecedented murderous aura.
Bai Qiuran turned his head and looked at Su Xiangxue in surprise. He didn’t quite understand why she suddenly became so angry. The disciple of the Kamasutra Sect who knelt on one knee was scared into a cold sweat by Su Xiangxue’s murderous aura.
The solemn atmosphere lasted for a while, and Su Xiangxue took a deep breath and asked coldly:
“What happened?”
She made up her mind that if this disciple was to delay herself because of some trivial things, she would have to do things that a demonic cultivator should do this time.
The disciple of the Kamasutra Sect lowered her head and replied quietly:
“The Demon Realm has started a war against us.”
“What did you say?”
Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue asked in unison.
“Information sent back from Lin Province. Last night, demon troops launched an attack on the human towns and villages near the rift in Lin Province and took over several towns. The camp of Heavenly Army that was guarding there briefly conducted a battle with them. The two sides are facing each other on the fissure plain in Lin Province.”
This disciple of the Kamasutra Sect quickly reported:
“The source of the news was transmitted by the Heavenly Army branch through official channels, so it is indeed credible.”
“Is this the personal behavior of a certain Demon King, or is it a collusion?”
Bai Qiuran asked.
“I don’t know, the demon troops hold a banner that represents the whole demon race.”
The disciple replied.
Bai Qiuran thought for a while, stood up immediately, and said to Su Xiangxue:
“Sorry, it seems that this meal can’t continue. I will treat you when I come back.”
And Su Xiangxue did not keep him, just said:
“You go first, I will arrange things here, and we will arrive later.”
Bai Qiuran nodded and left, while Su Xiangxue looked back as he watched his back disappear from the door.
After a while, You Meiqiao came out from a corner behind the yard, sticking out his tongue, and whispered:
“Master, you failed.”
Seeing Su Xiangxue looking at herself, she hurriedly took out a jade bottle from her pocket.
“But don’t worry. I formulated a bottle of more potent medicine based on the formula in Wise Immortal Mansion this time. I call it Sleepy Black Tea 2.0…”
“Well, Meiqiao, I don’t need these anymore.”
Su Xiangxue said suddenly.
“Uh…Master…”
You Meiqiao put down her hand cleverly and asked in a low voice:
“Could it be that you want to give up?”
“Give up? That’s never in my vocabulary.”
Su Xiangxue straightened her chest and said:
“I’ve decided, what medicine, meals, etc. are all tricks. Su Xiangxue has Su Xiangxue’s own methods… Meiqiao, during the time I am away, the Kamasutra Sect will be handled by you, and I will let several elders a.s.sist you in your work.”
“what?”
You Meiqiao didn’t react.
“That old log yields to neither carrot nor stick.”
Su Xiangxue gritted her teeth and said:
“Okay, this time I’ll go straight and tell him directly. I want to see how he’s going to react.”
