Chapter 212: This Lady’s Sword… is Thirsty for Blood!

”Miss… you mustn't!”
Master Ah Wu's eyes almost popped out after hearing Wu Yunbai's proposal. Oh gosh, my dear lady, why would you go stick your foot into a problem like this? In the Imperial City nowadays, a slight action may trigger an entire chain effect. We don't want to become a thorn in the flesh for the rest of the Battle-Saints. That would truly be troublesome!
Even though White Cloud Villa was quite powerful, at the end of the day, there were only two of them in the Imperial City of the Light Wind Empire.
Wu Yunbai completely ignored Master Ah Wu's objection, with her eyes still fixed on Ah Ni.
The high and almighty Serpentine Sovereign was a legendary figure who managed to singlehandedly build a serpent-man tribe powerful enough to counterbalance the White Cloud Villa.
Wu Yunbai grew up reading the legends of the Serpentine Sovereign as recorded by the White Cloud Villa. Even though she had lost count of which generation was the current Serpentine Sovereign, it did not diminish her enthusiasm toward the Serpentine Sovereign at all.
Ah Ni was dumbfounded, his brains suddenly stopped functioning. What was up with this human being before him? Why would you be so obsessed with the Serpentine Sovereign? Could it be… that they really were from the same family thousands of years ago?
The thought of that sent shivers down Ah Ni's spine.
”I grew up listening to the legendary tales of the Serpentine Sovereign. I have always yearned to see for myself what this mythical figure looks like, seeing that he was able to heavily wound my Herculean father, who wasn't able to recover until three years later.”
The sense of excitement faded from Wu Yunbai's complexion as she flicked a glance at Ah Ni and explained coolly.
Um… this story sounded like it had taken a turn down the aisle of tragedy. Could it be that her fixation on the Serpentine Sovereign derived from the injury he caused on her father?
Ah Ni felt his mind running all over the place.
”Just give me the word, will you or will you not introduce us.” Wu Yunbai crossed her arms, lifted her chin, and asked Ah Ni.
”Yes! If you really can rescue Yu Fu and Uncle Yu Feng, I'll do whatever it takes to plead with the head elder to arrange this meeting!” Ah Ni uttered with clenched teeth. Only once a year in the serpent-men tribe could one have an audience with the Serpentine Sovereign. This opportunity was truly rare.
”Consider this a done deal.” Wu Yunbai was very satisfied. She chuckled lightly and snapped her fingers.
Master Ah Wu, who stood behind her, had tears streaming down his face. My dear lady… can we please not act capriciously and unrestrained? If you wanted to see the Serpentine Sovereign, why couldn't you simply ask the villa master once you return to the White Cloud Villa?
”Owner Bu, you must have Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew available today?! Give this lady a cup!” Wu Yunbai was over the moon at this moment. She waved her hands around boldly.
”My dear lady… can we give this a second thought?” Master Ah Wu coaxed.
However, Wu Yunbai completely ignored him, with her gaze landing on Bu Fang.
Bu Fang nodded expressionlessly, then turned around to head back into the kitchen.
Once he stepped into it, the sounds of footsteps echoed and travelled from the main entrance. Numerous figures had squeezed into the store.
Among the the first crowds was the Ouyang family. It was evident that the breakthroughs of the three Ouyang barbarians from yesterday came at a shock. Hence, they hurriedly charged toward the store this morning.
Ouyang Xiaoyi stuck out her head, her eyes peering toward the kitchen. If Owner Bu wasn't in the store at this time, he must be in the kitchen.
”Let me know if you want to order anything.”
Ouyang Xiaoyi began tending to her duties, which included keeping the order of the store.
”Today's Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew is limited to five cups for sale.” Bu Fang's calm voice drifted from the kitchen, after which he himself appeared with a white jade wine jar in his hands. His complexion was cool and indifferent.
Even though the crowd was displeased that the available amount of the wine had yet again decreased, they didn't voice any objections. This was a wine that could assist one to reach breakthroughs… When the fruit was the scarcest, its taste was the sweetest. That was the way of life.
Bu Fang placed the white jade wine jar on the table and took off the lid. There was still one third of the wine nectar left within the white jade wine jar. A rich wine fragrance instantly burst forth from the wine jar, intoxicating everyone.
In the early morning, a wine aroma wafted out of the small alleyway, engulfing the space around it.
Sploosh Splash, Bu Fang scooped up a cup of light cyan colored wine nectar with a bamboo tube. Stripes of cloud-shaped moires hovered above the wine cup, with its rich concentration of spirit energy faintly quivering.
”Your Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew, please enjoy,” Bu Fang said as he handed the wine cup to Wu Yunbai, who was unable to hold herself back.
Wu Yunbai received the cup with her eyes absolutely glued to the wine nectar. She licked her ruby lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and took a sip of the wine.
A burning, pungent flavor instantly rushed into her mouth, sending chills down her body. Her eyes lit up as she raised her head and took three more sips. With three gulps down her throat, the cup of wine was completely devoured.
Bu Fang caught the cup that Wu Yunbai flung across dizzily, and placidly turned to look at her.
