Chapter 112 Ambition
Half a month ago, in the Spirit Kingdom, in the Illusionary Spirit City, in the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
The Illusionary Spirit Palace, like a dazzling pearl, is nestled among the mountains. This is the core of the Spirit King's rule.
However, a sudden coup d'état, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, shattered this peace and tranquility.
The Fourth Prince, Liu Lingyu, is an ambitious and treacherous man. Taking advantage of the Spirit King's absence, he secretly assembled a powerful army to launch a surprise attack on the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
He attempted to seize control of the Illusionary Spirit Palace, thereby threatening the Spirit King's rule and realizing his own ambitions.
Liu Lingyu whispered to the general beside him: "Tonight is the moment for us to seize the Illusionary Spirit Palace and take control of the Spirit Kingdom."
Remember, it must be a swift and decisive battle, without letting anyone in the manor notice anything.
The general replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness. We are fully prepared and await your command."
Inside the main hall, the Fourth Prince Liu Lingyu led a group of rebel soldiers into the hall. In the center of the hall stood several ministers, holding long swords and with resolute expressions.
Liu Lingyu sneered: "My lords, why be so stubborn? As long as you are willing to submit to me, I guarantee you a bright future."
The ministers angrily rebuked, "Liu Lingyu, you ambitious bastard, you dare to try to usurp the throne! We swear we will never let you succeed!"
Liu Lingyu roared, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Get them! Seize them!"
Subsequently, a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.
Although the rebels were numerous, the guards within the Illusionary Spirit Palace resisted tenaciously with their superior spiritual power and unwavering will, resulting in a stalemate in the battle.
Inside the Illusionary Spirit Mansion, the Fourth Prince Liu Lingyu stood in the center of the main hall, holding a long sword, surrounded by his trusted rebel troops.
King Ling's subordinates were surrounded and looked terrified, but a few still put up a stubborn resistance.
When the four great beauties—Poetry Spirit Star, Wine Spirit Star, Flower Spirit Star, and Tea Spirit Star—learned of this news, they were each fulfilling their duties in different corners of the Spirit Kingdom.
However, when they learned that the Illusionary Spirit Palace was facing a crisis, they immediately put down their work and rushed to the Illusionary Spirit Palace.
They knew that the Illusionary Spirit Palace was not only the core of the Spirit Kingdom, but also their shared home. They vowed to protect the Illusionary Spirit Palace and stop Liu Lingyu's conspiracy.
When the four female concubines arrived at the Illusionary Spirit Mansion, Liu Lingyu's elite troops had already stormed through the gates.
Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately launched into a fierce battle.
Poetry Spirit Star wields poetry as a sword, unleashing a dazzling display of power to defeat her enemies one by one.
The Spirit of Wine transforms fine wine into raging flames, burning away the enemy's fighting spirit.
Hua Lingxing originally kept flowers as companions, but after being healed by Xiao Ya, he modified his cultivation technique to the Linglong Technique and has now reached the peak of the Great Harmony Realm.
They attacked the Fourth Prince Liu Lingyu's men without using any fancy moves.
Tea Spirit Star used the aroma of tea to confuse the enemy, throwing them into chaos.
The four female warriors each possess unique fighting skills, yet they can cooperate with each other to form a powerful fighting force.
They traversed the Illusionary Spirit Palace, engaging in a fierce battle with the enemy.
Every attack was precise and deadly, and every defense was impenetrable.
Let's set aside the fierce battle situation in the Spirit Kingdom's Illusionary Spirit Palace for now.
Speaking of Yun Dan, who is currently at the bottom of the Abyss of Extremes, compared to her previous life, she is now living a very enjoyable and carefree life.
Back in my previous life, I could never have done things as freely as I do now.
A clear and melodious voice called out, "Uncle Leng, come and taste my newly brewed wine! What do you think of it?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Yun Dan walking briskly towards them, carrying a small, exquisite wine jar with a big smile on her face.
At a glance, the wine jar looked to weigh about three to five pounds.
Speaking of this wine jar, we have to mention Yun Dan's spatial dimension.
Originally, there were ten large wine jars, each with a capacity of ten jin, inside, along with five slightly smaller wine jars placed in a staggered arrangement.
Not only that, but all the necessary materials for brewing are also readily available.
Actually, Yun Dan had planned from the beginning to show off her skills in Sujia Village and try to brew a batch of rice wine with excellent taste.
If they can succeed in one fell swoop, not only will they be able to acquire a winemaking technique, but they will also open up a brand new way for Sujia Village to increase its income.
Unfortunately, fate was not on her side. Just as Yun Dan was excitedly preparing to put her wonderful plan into practice, she was spied on by two assassins in black.
This sudden change triggered a series of unexpected events.
The final result was that Yun Dan was accidentally knocked to the bottom of the unfathomable Abyss, where he became trapped and unable to escape.
Now, Yun Dan is facing the third batch of wine, as the previous two batches ended in failure.
Either the brewed wine is too bitter to swallow, or it emits a foul odor and is completely inedible.
Upon hearing the sound, Leng Xiyue strode over as fast as the wind, a hopeful smile on his handsome face.
Although he had tried brewing wine twice before and both attempts ended in failure, the brief experience of drinking wine made him deeply appreciate the wonderful feeling of having wine to drink.
Although the taste of that wine was truly unpalatable, even more so than bitter Chinese medicine.
But for those in their early twenties who didn't usually drink alcohol, even such low-quality liquor was better than not drinking at all.
So every day he would carefully sip a tiny bit, as if it were the most precious nectar in the world.
"Little Yundan, judging from your excited appearance, the wine you brewed this time must be extraordinary!" Leng Xiyue said with a smile to Yundan.
Yun Dan winked playfully, a sly smile playing on her lips, and replied sweetly, "Uncle Leng, don't rush to praise me. It's not too late to draw your conclusions after you've tasted it yourself."
Leng Xiyue smiled and nodded, reaching out to take the wine jar from Yun Dan.
He gently lifted the seal on the wine jar, and a rich and unique aroma of wine instantly wafted out.
However, just smelling this scent made Leng Xiyue's expression involuntarily falter slightly.
Standing to the side, Yun Dan keenly noticed the subtle change in Leng Xiyue's expression, and her heart tightened immediately.
He quickly asked, "Uncle Leng, could it be... could it be that we failed again this time?"
Her words revealed obvious unease and anxiety.
Leng Xiyue noticed Yun Dan's nervousness and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, little Yun Dan, I haven't even tasted it yet."
After saying this, he picked up the wine jar, took a small sip of the fine wine inside, closed his eyes, and began to savor it carefully.
At this moment, Yun Dan's gaze was fixed on Leng Xiyue, and she was extremely nervous.
She stared intently at Leng Xiyue, noticing that the other woman's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she wasn't entirely satisfied with the wine in her mouth.
"Uncle Leng, it seems this attempt has ended in failure again?"
Yun Dan's voice grew softer and softer, tinged with embarrassment and disappointment.
Leng Xiyue gently put down the wine jar in her hand, patted Yun Dan's shoulder, and said with a hint of doting and encouragement.
"Little Yundan, the wine you brewed this time is indeed a significant improvement over the previous two. However, the taste is still a little lacking."
A barely perceptible smile played on his lips, but he thought to himself, "Little Yundan, is what you're brewing considered wine, or are you experimenting with some new and unusual Chinese herbal formula?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Dan bit her pink lips slightly, a hint of doubt and resentment flashing in her eyes.
She leaned closer to the small jar again and took a deep breath; a faint aroma of wine indeed lingered in her nostrils.
So, she mustered her courage, took the rough porcelain bowl from Leng Xiyue's hand, and without hesitation tilted her head back and took a big gulp.
However, the moment the liquid entered her mouth, Yun Dan's expression turned strange.
She vomited violently, followed by a series of violent coughs, as if she were coughing up her internal organs.
"Pfft...cough cough...cough cough..."
She finally couldn't hold back any longer and complained loudly to Leng Xiyue.
"Uncle Leng, are you trying to annoy me on purpose? This doesn't taste like wine at all; it tastes like terribly bitter Chinese medicine."
You said it was a bit lacking in doneness, but this is clearly not a matter of doneness!
Seeing this, Leng Xiyue was not angry at all. Instead, she burst into laughter, her laughter hearty and infectious.
"Haha... Little Yundan, the skill of brewing wine cannot be mastered overnight."
We need to explore and try things out slowly; we can't rush it.
He gently patted Yun Dan's shoulder and continued,
"Uncle Leng, although I love drinking, I'm a complete novice when it comes to brewing wine."
However, even so, I could see that although the wine was still hard to swallow this time, it was indeed a significant improvement compared to the previous two times.
If you improve in this direction, you'll definitely be able to brew good wine.
His words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into Yun Dan's heart.
A look of sudden realization flashed in Yun Dan's eyes, and she murmured to herself, "Uncle Leng, now that you mention it, I think I've really figured out the problem."
Perhaps I didn't control the proportions well, or perhaps the fermentation time wasn't long enough..."
Leng Xiyue smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with trust and expectation for Yun Dan.
"That's right, Xiao Yundan. When you finally brew some good wine, this old man will never have to worry about not having any wine to drink again."
Upon hearing this, Yun Dan nodded emphatically, a flame of hope rekindling in her bright eyes. She secretly vowed to brew the finest wine and impress Uncle Leng.
