"Good wine! Good wine! This is the best wine I have ever had!" Liu Yanxu staggered over to Bexia, plopped down at the table in front of him, and held up her wine bowl, saying, "Just because you treated me to such good wine, I'll have your back in hell from now on!"
"Come on, let's drink!" Liu Yanxu patted Bexia's shoulder, urging him to fill her cup again.
Sitting at the table in front of Bexia, Liu Yanxu forced him to drink with her. After three or four cups, Liu Yanxu's mumbling gradually quieted down, and she collapsed onto Bexia.
"Oops!" Bexia, also feeling woozy, looked at Liu Yanxu leaning on him and hesitated for a moment.
"Judge Liu... Liu... Judge!" Bexia helped her up, swaying a bit, and called out to her.
"..." Liu Yanxu did not respond, seemingly passed out.
"Burp!" Bexia let out a burp, feeling even more dizzy, staring blankly at the drunken Liu Yanxu.
Liu Yanxu, originally a stunning woman, now drunk and passed out, with a drunken blush covering her skin, making her even more alluring. Her loose robe became disheveled, with one shoulder and delicate clavicle exposed. Her soaked robe clung to her skin, fully revealing her magnificent figure.
"Gurgle!" Bexia licked his dry lips, possibly from the effects of the alcohol, swallowed some water to soothe his throat, and with a last hint of clarity, laid Liu Yanxu down with her head on his thigh.
"Half left... what a waste!" Bexia picked up the remaining half of the Drunken Fairy Song wine, and started drinking alone, occasionally glancing at Liu Yanxu, as if she could be a side dish, truly living up to the saying "beauty good enough to eat!"
Eventually, Bexia also drank until he was completely unconscious. What happened afterward, he had no idea. However, when he woke up, Liu Yanxu had already been awake for some time, and the room had been tidied up. It seemed like Liu Yanxu had been waiting for him.
Opening his eyes and sitting up, the first thing Bexia saw was Liu Yanxu sitting by the window, surrounded by swirling mist, exuding a strange charm.
"You're awake!" Sensing Bexia's gaze, Liu Yanxu turned around and spoke.
"How long was I asleep?" Bexia rubbed his slightly confused head. The divine wine seemed to have no lasting effects, but it felt like his memories were fragmented.
"Over two days!"
"Ah!" Surprised by Liu Yanxu's answer, Bexia exclaimed, "I slept for over two days!"
"Is something urgent?" Liu Yanxu asked.
"Not really, I'm just worried about the situation with my family's Higanbana flower."
"The underworld is vast, even if you're anxious, it's futile!" Liu Yanxu retracted her gaze and said, "I've sent someone to inquire, and I believe we'll have news soon!"
"Moreover, since she is an old god in the underworld, she must be as comfortable there as a fish in water. She's probably much safer than you in terms of security!"
"Well..." Bexia was at a loss for words because what Liu Yanxu said was true. Even if he were to worry, the underworld was so vast that he couldn't possibly find her on his own.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Judge Liu!"
"What is your purpose in coming to the underworld? Do you need to address it first?" Liu Yanxu asked.
"Well, that's fine!"
"Since you treated me to good wine, I can help you!" Liu Yanxu said.
"Then, I appreciate your help, Liu Yanxu!"
"Call me Liu Yanxu, or just Yanxu. I don't like being called 'judge'."
"Well..." Bexia hesitated for a moment, but as Liu Yanxu seemed sincere, he nodded.
"...Yanxu!"
"Let's talk as we walk!" Liu Yanxu flipped off the windowsill and said.
"Are you looking for something?" After leaving the Forgotten River Tower, Liu Yanxu suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Bexia nodded and explained, "A friend of mine failed in ascending to the Eternal God level and suffered severe damage to her divine soul. She needs Soul-Nurturing Wood for treatment."
"Soul-Nurturing Wood is not something simple!"
"I received information that one of the Dragon Clan's primordial dragons had Soul-Nurturing Wood on his body. After he died in battle, his body fell into the Yellow Springs."
"Oh!" Liu Yanxu looked profound, then said, "Do you know how vast the Yellow Springs are? Trying to find something there is as difficult as a mortal finding a needle in the ocean!"
"Well, it's better than having no hope!"
"Then you'll have to work hard on your own!" Liu Yanxu patted his shoulder significantly, offering encouragement.
"But it seems like you have some soul issues. Let's set aside the matter of Soul-Nurturing Wood for now. I'm in a good mood, so how about I give you a baptism with the waters of the Yellow Springs first?"
"I..."
"Don't be awkward like a big man! It's uncomfortable to watch!"
"Well then, thank you, Yanxu!"
"No need for thanks, just treat me to good wine!"
After saying that, Liu Yanxu unexpectedly made a move that surprised Bexia. She hugged his arm and whispered in his ear with a fragrant breath, her intimate gesture akin to that of lovers in a passionate relationship.
"Could you do me a favor..." Liu Yanxu whispered in Bexia's ear.
"What..." Before Bexia could react, a voice sounded in his ear.
