THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 144

Ling Tian laughed in response, “The moonlight shone on the filled wine glass, the desire to drink but the plugged pipe player urged; squatting drunk on the battlefield no one smiled, no one smiled, how many people throughout the ages have actually come back from the war! In this day and age, enjoying wine without complementing the wine glass, is actually a loss of honor.

Ye QingChen sat quietly as she listened, a burning heroic spirit appearing within her, making her spend her entire cup.

“I have underestimated the skills of this little brother once again. What a good Human Blood, pure yet fragrant, and a good poem! This indeed detailed the innate qualities of a man! So, in order to fully appreciate wine, one needs a wine glass to show off its beauty. Brother, you are a true wine connoisseur! ”

“Sister, slow down his praise, this little brother has not given you a test. You mentioned that you are proficient in wine sampling, but I have not verified this. What year do you think this wine was made? ” Ling Tian put on an evil expression, as if preparing to make things difficult for him.

Ye QingChen did not mind him at all and replied, “Brothers are indeed heavenly, far surpassing all ordinary wines on the market. However, when it comes to recognizing age, this foolish brother might not lose to anyone. I guess three years due! ” Her tone is full of confidence!

Ling Tian maintained his evil expression, immediately suppressing, “Really? Do you really think so..?”

Ye QingChen paused for a moment. Although his contact with Ling Tian was brief, he could be said to be more familiar with Ling Tian, even when compared to some people who were closer to Ling Tian. Therefore, he naturally guessed there was more to it than it seemed. He poured another cup for himself and tasted it once more; indeed, the more tasted, the more shocked he became.

Just after a while, he muttered to himself, “Wine which is very confusing, this obviously only has three years of maturity. But somehow, I felt six years of maturity and another clue about nine years of maturity. There is little age in between freshness, and the softness of this age gives way to a deeper level of age. How is this possible? Confusing, confusing..” Raising his head, seeing the evil expression Ling Tian looked at him, he scolded, “Damn, you teased this brother of yours, right? Hurry up and reveal your secrets before I defeat you!”

Ling Tian did not try to prolong the tension. Instead, he replied, “As what you say, ‘a little age in between freshness, and furthermore age deepens as the passing of’, this is enough for me to praise you. The secret lies in the words you speak. Nine years ago, I buried nine bottles of wine grapes that had just begun to ferment. Then, I took it out in the third year and used a secret evaporation method, reducing the three jars to one. Then, I buried it back and let it continue to ferment. After three more years, I repeated the same process and buried it again. Finally, after three more years, these only remaining barrels were finished products; having the taste of young wine and old wine. It seemed like only three years, but in reality, it was nine years of evaporation and reference! Heavenly product, the,

Listening to Ling Tian's explanation, Ye QingChen was completely thrown off. Tasting the cup of Human Blood, he could feel his emotions surging, feeling sweet yet sour. In his life, this was the first time he had come across an immortal wine that was rarely seen and heard, and he could not help but drink a few more cups. However, little did he know that the method to vaporize fermented grapes, combining three into one, only served to further increase the alcohol content of the wine, up to ten times the norm! Furthermore, the large amount of wine he sampled earlier, only served as a foundation, to the point where even his own internal energy was unable to control his poison.

By the time Ye QingChen discovered that something was wrong, she had already started to feel chaotic, losing any power. He could only lean on the table casually, muttering, “In my drunkenness, I would visit the King of Dreams, but I waited for the appearance of a new wine the next day,” before he stopped moving at all. Ever since they started drinking, Ye QingChen had never even touched such a delicious companion dish even once!”

Ling Tian shook his head, his newly discovered elder brother is indeed considered an extraordinary person, he can even faint in such a style. At the same time, he praised himself, that he could actually be considered an expert in wine itself.

The first five wines brought out by Ling Tian were undoubtedly the exception of the outstanding wines. But they were all made by masters from the previous world and Ling Tian did not feel proud just by imitating their methods. However, the last wine, ‘Man’s Blood’, is based on the novel ‘The Smile, Proud Traveler’ [1] which he had read in the previous world. While his homemade wine cannot beat hundreds of years old best wine, it has a different form of subtlety. Each evaporation process happens to be a three-year quality wine, three years after three rounds of evaporation, followed by the last three rounds of fermentation; the effort required is clearly not under that famous wine. This stream of thought allowed Ling Tian to break through the boundary. The wine-making process started when Ling Tian was only five or six years old,

Glancing at the unconscious Ye QingChen, Ling Tian could only pat his head and berate himself. How could the wine he took compare to the diluted wine served outside? Especially Human Blood, which had an alcohol content that was ten times stronger. Furthermore, to continuously taste all of these extremely strong wines, even if Ye QingChen had a tolerance as great as the ocean and also an extremely pure internal energy, he was still mortal after all. Not getting drunk would be the weird part! Ling Tian smiled sadly as he supported Ye QingChen's large body easily.

On the side, Ling Chen laughed, “As mentioned by Young Noble, this Master Ye is indeed an amazing, simple-minded, but very attractive person, hehe.”

Ling Chen replied with an unusual soft voice, a hint of disappointment visible in his eyes, coupled with a hint of embarrassment. His face suddenly reddened, and his eyes became sly as he avoided Ling Tian's gaze. Ling Tian could not help but feel something wrong, what made Ling Chen ashamed?

As it turned out, that Ling Chen girl was actually experiencing the blooming of love. Seeing Ye QingChen chilling in Ling Tian's own room, and feeling Ling Tian's hot gaze on him, she felt, his mind went wild and imagined that Ling Tian would choose to sleep in his room because he had nowhere to rest that night. Hearing this, his heart was three parts excited, three parts embarrassed, three parts nervous and one part . However, after hearing Ling Tian's words, he realized that he was imagining things too much and thus felt ashamed, even though Ling Tian was unaware of it.

While Ling Tian was blessed with incredible intelligence, in the end she was still a two-life virgin, how could she understand the mind of a woman? He tilted his head left and right in confusion, before deciding to put it behind him. He then kissed her lips gently and praised, “How fragrant! It's actually more fragrant than the most incredible wine I've ever tasted, hahah.

Ignoring his reaction as he stomped his feet and pouted in annoyance, Ling Tian dragged Ye QingChen and walked towards the guest room. However, he was greeted with the sight of XueLeng and his brother upon opening the door. The two stood there, with heavy expressions, as if waiting for the enemy.

Ling Tian's heart twitched in fear at first, but it immediately relaxed when he realized it was probably due to the screams released by Ye QingChen, which attracted trouble just now. Seeing their expressions, Ling Tian could not help but feel touched. That shout echoed from Ye Qingchen, which reverberated throughout the sky with incredible prestige, likely having warned many people. He was indeed too careless, at this stage where the Sky Bearings were in a xenophobic state, treating everyone as their enemy, such an expert appearance would definitely arouse the suspicions of all the big families. This was especially true for the Yang Family. How did they react? Ling Tian could feel a headache coming; it seemed like the Ling Family would be thrown into the deep sea in the morning.

“Was he the one who let out a loud shout earlier?” XueLeng glanced at the unconscious Ye QingChen covering Ling Tian's chest, his expression full of panic. From the previous shouts, they could tell that the strength of this person should have already entered into the Saint Realm and was someone who, even by joining his brother, should have been, they could never hope to defeat him. Even now, seeing him drunk and unconscious, they did not dare to disappoint their guards.

A ray of cold killing intent faintly appeared in Ling Tian's eyes. If the two wanted to do something undesirable to Ye QingChen, then there was no need for words. Even if he had to offend Yu BingYan openly, he had to silence the two of them! ‘This is my territory, Ling Tian. No matter who you are, or where you come from, if you're a Dragon, you'd better stay curled up. If you are a Tiger, you should stay low on the ground! To use such a tone against someone I invited, you must be tired of living!’

“That's the old man here.” Before Ling Tian could speak, a cold voice sounded. Ye QingChen, who covered herself, had opened her eyes slightly. While he remained in the drunken mist, the penetrating light rays still lingered in his eyes causing the faces of the two guards to change. “Do you have any suggestions for me?”

The moment Ling Tian's hand touched Ye QingChen, he was already awake; this was the acute feeling of a peerless expert. Although he was drunk to the point that he was dizzy, the vigilance of an expert had long been carved deep into his bones, always there. Seeing the two blocking Ling Tian's path, he remembered that Ling Tian was still hiding his own strength, and thus took the initiative to speak.

Not only that, he knew that if Ling Tian made a move, the two people in front of him would definitely die! This was because Ling Tian would never let anyone outside of his circle know his greatest secret! For someone as kind-hearted as Ye QingChen, he could not bear to see the two of them die just from a random shout from himself. Since he had sensed the first signs of killing intent emanating from Ling Tian, he took the opportunity to speak before Ling Tian could.

“I will not dare, may I ask for the surname of this respected senior?” A sense of danger started to emerge from XueLeng's heart, as if she was directly facing off against a venomous ferocious beast in the midst of choosing prey to eat. In an instant, the two guards clothes were covered in sweat. However, in order to ensure the safety of their daughter, they must uncover the background of this unknown expert, because if anything untoward happens to the princess, even with a hundred deaths, it will be, the two of them would not be able to atone for their crimes.

The two of them did not realize that this sense of danger actually came from Ling Tian and not the Ye QingChen he was holding!

Ling Tian spoke nonchalantly, “This is my sworn brother, excuse me, gentlemen, because I need to send my brother to the guest room to rest.” He understood Ye QingChen's intentions and he, however, was unwilling to move towards the two men. While they made him uncomfortable, they were only loyal to the mistakes on Yu BingYan and only carried out their duties to the best of their ability. Therefore, unless forced to the point of no return, Ling Tian was unwilling to eliminate the two.

“I understand; however, this concerns the safety of my daughter. While I know I'm overstepping my limits, I still have to do it. Please forgive me, young noble. May I ask for this honorable Senior's name? This junior is XueLeng, from the Yu.” Family XueLeng refused to budge even a single step and even mentioned his Yu Family name. This caused Ling Tian to become stiff, a cold ray flashed in his eyes as waves of intense killing intent shot out from him!
