What's happening here?
Could this wine possess an aphrodisiac property as well?
In the initial nights of his wedding chamber or during casual marital moments, Lu Changsheng had consumed plenty of such wine before.
Yet for this intimate gathering, why did the Second Palace Master choose to serve this particular brew?
Did she fail to regard him as a man?
Nevertheless, as the wine's primary force transformed into a torrent of blazing warmth surging through his arms, legs, and skeleton, purifying his meridians and flesh, Lu Changsheng dismissed the notion of it being an aphrodisiac.
He merely assumed the wine was potent, explaining why Shen Baishuang offered it to visitors.
"Regarding the earlier incident with the Six Paths Demon Consort, I haven't properly expressed my thanks to Elder Xuanmu yet. Today, I'll seize this chance to raise a toast to you, Daoist, in appreciation."
Noticing Lu Changsheng only sipping lightly, Shen Baishuang lifted her cup and pressed on, her lovely gaze flickering with allure.
"The Second Palace Master is far too polite. I just fulfilled a minor duty."Lu Changsheng replied, feeling a touch honored, as he emptied his glass.
"Little sister, give it a taste too."
Shen Baishuang remembered her sister Shen Yiren sitting nearby and urged her.
Shen Yiren typically avoided alcohol; when she did partake, it was usually fruit wine, seldom the hard stuff.
However, with her sister hosting the feast so graciously, she sipped a cup, then daintily extended her pink tongue like a feline, sensing the fiery bite.
"Hahaha, if little sister finds this wine too harsh, switch to this one."
Observing this, Shen Baishuang recalled her sister's light drinking habits and had fruit wine ready, filling another cup for her.
Next, she turned to Lu Changsheng and asked, "The Starry Sky Sea grows restless these days. Why is Elder Xuanmu suddenly planning a trip?"
"To tell the truth to the Second Palace Master, I've lately sensed a peculiar hunch in my heart, hinting at a Nascent Soul chance emerging, so I decided to venture out and seek if fate brings it my way."
Lu Changsheng chewed on some Demon King Meat while explaining.
The divination displayed at the Goddess Palace was only early third-rank level, insufficient for pinpointing a Nascent Soul prospect.
Thus, the ideal pretext was this enigmatic intuition, an abrupt urge.
"In that case, my sister and I shall toast Elder Xuanmu, hoping for a safe voyage and triumph in seizing the Nascent Soul fortune."
Shen Baishuang promptly refilled her own glass and Lu Changsheng's, hoisted hers, glanced at her sister, and proceeded.
After her words, seemingly concerned he might hesitate, she downed her cup first.
"...."
The warmth building in his belly made Lu Changsheng reluctant to imbibe more.
After all, this Red Flame Wine refined the body's meridians and sinews, a benefit meaningless to one with a Chaos Body and Fourth Rank Body Refining.
Still, its aphrodisiac influence lingered somewhat.
Yet on Rongyue Island, imbibing it meant enduring the discomfort until it faded naturally.
But facing the Second Palace Master, who had gulped down two cups swiftly, her enchanting eyes sparkling toward him, Lu Changsheng reluctantly raised his glass and finished it.
With yet another cup swallowed, Lu Changsheng abruptly found the Second Palace Master exuding an irresistible charm.
A flawless, matchless visage of beauty, a lithe and elegant form, especially accentuated by the crimson robe clinging to her ample curves.
Even with just a glimpse of soft, supple skin, it stirred a thirst in him, igniting an inner "fire" that yearned to claim her.
"This feels off!"
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng detected the anomaly.
The Second Palace Master was captivating, no doubt, but he, Lu Ancestor, wasn't so readily overcome.
As for any aphrodisiac in the wine...
Common brews couldn't touch him, to say nothing else.
Even supposing it could, mere three cups shouldn't provoke such ferocity!
Now wary, Lu Changsheng spotted additional oddities.
While the Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang flushed delicately from the Red Flame Wine, the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren's reaction appeared overly pronounced.
Her porcelain-smooth cheeks glowed with a seductive crimson, a rosy tint blooming on her peach-like complexion.
Those limpid, starlit teal eyes now held a hazy mist.
As a Peak Core Formation cultivator practicing the Nourishing Life Technique, Shen Yiren shouldn't succumb like this to the wine's potency!
Besides, after one cup, her drink had changed to fruit wine.
Therefore... something must be wrong with the wine on their table!?
