C10 Drinking

According to old Heavenly Master's instructions, Zhang Nan would throw out one paper bird every 100 meters when he arrived at the fox house. Every ten steps he threw down one paper bird until he arrived at the fox house.

The butler Uncle Fu seemed to have expected that Zhang Nan would come, as he was already waiting at the door. Seeing Zhang Nan walk over, Uncle Fu bowed and made a gesture to invite him in.

Zhang Nan meticulously sized up Uncle Fu, wanting to see something from his every move, but he could not feel anything.

"How could this be?" Zhang Nan was secretly suspicious in his heart. Logically speaking, Uncle Fu was a fox demon, how could he be so calm when he saw?

"Let me see if you can hide your tail this deep." With that in mind, Zhang Nan followed Uncle Fu and entered the Hu's house. Unknowingly, this time, he actually did not feel the slightest bit of fear.

Even when he walked into the Hu family mansion this time, there was no trace of the threatening chill from last time.

He entered the residence and passed through the corridors, arriving at the main hall in the blink of an eye. Uncle Fu smiled, "Young Master, Miss has been waiting for a long time. Please."

Zhang Nan nodded his head and looked towards the hall. In the room, there was a large round table, the table was filled with delicacies, and Fox Fairy was seated at the table.

Fox Fairy was still dressed in her white dress, with her long hair covering her shoulders and her faint makeup, she sat there like a fairy.

"Young Master Zhang!" Seeing Zhang Nan coming in, Fox Fairy stood up and bowed with a smile, but there was an undetectable trace of worry in his eyes.

"Miss has invited Young Master to come to her house as a guest today. If you are not, please forgive me. Please drink this cup to your heart's content." At this time, the butler came forward and poured a cup of mead for Zhang Nan and Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan looked at the wine in his cup and thought back to old Heavenly Master's instruction that he should not drink more than ten cups, but he was unable to refuse the first cup of wine no matter what. Helpless, he could only raise his cup and drink a cup with Fox Fairy.

However, just as the wine cup was put down, the butler continued, "I heard that Young Master Zhang is such a famous scholar. Although his luck is bad, I believe you will win.

Uncle Fu was really eloquent, he easily advised Zhang Nan to drink two cups of wine, and this was only the beginning. Who knew how many cups of wine he would advise in the future?

Moreover, even Miss Hu had yet to speak. Why did he persuade her so enthusiastically? Zhang Nan looked at Uncle Fu in alarm. If he really was a fox demon, what should he do?

"Young Master Zhang, I heard that you found the bodies of the missing people for the village yesterday, but were misunderstood by the people. Furthermore, you were kicked out of the village. I feel that it's not worth it for you …"

Uncle Fu continued, at this time, it was already the eighth cup of wine. Zhang Nan wanted to reject them several times, but there were a few cups that were forced to be drunk by Uncle Fu.

He only had two cups left. If he continued to drink, it would kill him. However, if he did not drink, Uncle Fu continued to urge him.

Zhang Nan thought back to old Heavenly Master's orders: That red rope, maybe, at this moment, only that red rope could save him, but if Uncle Fu did not leave, he would not have the chance to give the red rope to Fox Fairy.

In that moment, Zhang Nan was in a dilemma, he was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan.

"Young master Zhang, this cup …" During this entire process, Fox Fairy had not even spoken a single word. There were several times where Fox Fairy had wanted to speak, but was unable to do so. From her gaze, it seemed that she was a little afraid of Uncle Fu.

In Zhang Nan's eyes, Uncle Fu was also a little afraid. If he really was a fox demon and they exposed him, then neither Fox Fairy nor himself would be able to escape.

"Uncle Fu, I-I really can't drink anymore." Suddenly, an idea came to Zhang Nan's mind. With his two eyes, his face turned ugly and he cried. He threw himself onto the table and pretended to be drunk.

Seeing Zhang Nan like that, Uncle Fu frowned: "It's only eight cups and he's already drunk. He has to have at least drank ten cups."

"But he's drunk!" Fox Fairy was worried.

"Even if we have to drink up, we have to do it for him." Uncle Fu's gaze suddenly turned sinister as a trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes.

"How about we give him and the Awakened Wine Soup, and let him drink after that?"

Hearing Fox Fairy's words, Uncle Fu fell silent for a few seconds, then nodded his head. He put down the cup and started to prepare the sobering soup, causing Zhang Nan, who heard the conversation between the two, to hesitate whether or not to give the red rope to Fox Fairy. After all, Fox Fairy seemed to know Uncle Fu's motive for doing so.

"Hurry up and run away, otherwise you won't be able to escape!" Who knew that at this moment, Fox Fairy would actually push Zhang Nan.

"Miss Hu, I am unable to repay you for saving me. This is for you." Zhang Nan was afraid, afraid that Uncle Fu would actually pour wine for him, he passed the red rope to Fox Fairy and turned to leave.

"Wait!" But just at that moment, Fox Fairy called out to Zhang Nan: "Is this what the old man gave you?"

"How do you know?" Zhang Nan was astonished.

"It seems that she doesn't want to kill me." Fox Fairy said, as tears rolled down her face, she laughed: "Alright, since it's like this, I will leave my life in your hands, I hope you will not disappoint me."

Zhang Nan was startled. What was this, what was this, he was confused, he did not understand at all, but before he could react, Fox Fairy had tied the red rope around their wrists. Just as he tied them, the red rope released a yellow light, and actually disappeared into thin air.

"From today onwards, I, Fox Fairy will be your man. Remember, on the night of the fifteenth full moon, you must come and pick me up from the City God's Temple. If you come, I'll wait for you. After Fox Fairy finished speaking, he lightly tiptoed and kissed Zhang Nan on the lips, pushing her out.

"What will you do if I leave?" Zhang Nan looked at Fox Fairy worriedly, wanting to take her and leave together.

"He won't do anything to me. Remember, on the night of full moon, you must go to the city temple to pick me up." As Fox Fairy said this, his eyes was firm. He trusted Zhang Nan a lot.

Zhang Nan was so anxious that he did not know what to do. He was worried that since Uncle Fu was back, he would not be able to leave.

However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. It was as if there was something in his stomach, similar to the little chicken eating bugs in his stomach, causing a heart-wrenching pain.

The movement inside was getting more and more intense, as if it was trying to climb up, to get out of its throat.

Whooosh.

ji ji ji ji …

The thing in his throat did not come out, but the paper bird that Zhang Nan threw on the ground suddenly struggled for a few moments, before transforming into a lively bird. With jet-black feathers, it stared at Zhang Nan with its blood-red eyes and its mouth agape, as if it was waiting for something.

At this time, Zhang Nan's throat was itching more and more, the thing inside was about to come out.

Achoo ~ ~ ~

Finally, Zhang Nan's nose started to itch. Accompanying the sneeze was a long spit, it turned out to be a huge red centipede …
