They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 439 The best way to solve the fox-people problem is to give them new hope.

Dan Lei was dragged out of the prison by Fei Xiao, who was holding his wrist tightly.

After going outside and finding no one around, Dan Lei asked...
"Feixiao, why are you holding me so tightly? I'm not going to run away."

Also, where are you planning to go to discuss the fox people?

Seeing that Dan Lei was protesting, Fei Xiao temporarily let go of his hand, then put his hands on his hips and said...

"Let's go to your home in Jinren Lane to talk. Jiaoqiu will bring his secret-recipe spicy hot pot. He wants to thank you for saving him last time."

Danlei had no objection to Jiaoqiu bringing hot pot to his home for a family gathering.

Dan Lei considered it normal to discuss matters at the dinner table and naturally didn't find it strange.

The key point is that if Jiaoqiu comes, Moze will definitely come too. With both of them coming, Danlei will have no doubt about the purpose of this meal.

So Danlei took Feixiao on a different route and went to Chiming Street to get some fresh sturgeon fillets, crabs, and shrimp.

Then I went to the market and bought a variety of vegetables, ingredients, and meat before going home.

After running a lap with Dan Lei, Fei Xiao exclaimed in admiration.

"Danlei, you used to like hot pot? You're so good at buying side dishes, you even know which offal is good to eat with hot pot."

They even make their own dipping sauces.

To this question, Dan Lei simply gave a vague answer.
"I wouldn't say I love eating it, but I've eaten quite a lot of it."

I once obtained an ancient book about hot pot, which mentioned what foods taste best when cooked in it.

Fei Xiao didn't doubt Dan Lei's explanation, after all, he seemed to be a real expert when it came to eating hot pot.

Since there was no hot pot table at home, Danlei made one on the spot. Before Jiaoqiu and Moze arrived, he even dragged Feixiao to wash and peel vegetables.

All I can say is that only Dan Lei could drag the mighty General Tianji to peel bean sprouts.

Moreover, it's fine for Feixiao to wield a sword and spear, but having her use tweezers is similar to Zhang Fei embroidering.

Fortunately, Feixiao is a woman after all, and she has the delicacy of a woman. After getting the hang of it, she did the food preparation and other tasks very quickly.

She is more professional than Danlei, especially when it comes to cutting meat.

In short, when Jiaoqiu and Moze arrived at Danlei's house, Feixiao came out to open the door wearing only a kitchen apron, leaving the two of them stunned.

Upon entering, seeing Danlei cutting preserved eggs and tofu in the kitchen, the two felt as if they had come to the wrong place.

However, Dan Lei showed no politeness upon seeing the two arrive, and gave orders...
"When Jiaoqiu arrives, hurry up and stir-fry the broth for my spicy hot pot. Don't tell me you're planning to use pre-made seasoning packets. I've already bought all the chili peppers and stuff for you. If you really need anything, I can even order takeout for you."

"Moze just needs to go to the yard and set out the tables, chairs, and dishes. Then he can come over and help with plating."

Jiaoqiu and Moze exchanged a glance after hearing Danlei's call, and Jiaoqiu decisively smiled.
"Here it comes, here it comes. Don't worry, Lord Yuyang, leave the hot pot base to me. I brought a lot of Yaoqing's unique medicinal herbs and spices, which will definitely satisfy you."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, put on his apron, and ran straight to the big pot to fetch the base ingredients.

Seeing this, Mo Ze quietly went to the courtyard to set up tables and chairs, and also cleaned and maintained the surrounding plants.

Time flies, and as night falls in Luofu, the carefully prepared hot pot feast begins on time.

However, as soon as he sat down, Fei Xiao took out more than a dozen jars of something from his personal storage space that made Dan Lei's eyes twitch.

This is a standard wine jar, but the seal bears the name of Du's Tea House.

While it's not impossible to seal tea leaves in jars, Star Iron players might be unfamiliar with the name Du's Tea House, but everyone should be familiar with the quest involving drinking Fiery Strong Tea.

Yes, the fiery strong tea in Jinren Lane is a product of this Du family tea shop.

However, when Feixiao opened the jar, Danlei did not smell a strong alcohol odor, so he did not stop Feixiao's subsequent actions.

Because Du's Tea House doesn't only sell strong, pungent teas; they also sell regular teas.

After pouring "tea" for everyone, Fei Xiao said excitedly.
"This is the signature tea of ​​a tea shop that a street performer recommended when I came to Jinren Lane a few days ago. She said it was good for clearing heat and detoxifying, and it goes perfectly with spicy hot pot."

Upon hearing Fei Xiao's words, Dan Lei realized that it must have been Gui Naifen who recommended the tea to her.

This girl is notorious for her good intentions often backfiring, so she quickly took a small sip to find out what this thing was.

The next second, Dan Lei felt that the "tea" was extremely cold when it entered his mouth, like the cold spring water under an ice ravine, flowing through his whole body.

In an instant, Danlei felt as if he were in a frozen wasteland.

Of course, this feeling was not painful for Dan Lei. Ever since he devoured the [Fire Emperor] source fire, Dan Lei had been in a state of excessive fire energy.

This feeling of ice penetrating to the heart was very peculiar to Dan Lei, so he didn't use the Six Treasures Immortal Thief to absorb the tea.

However strange the feeling may be, Dan Lei was still certain that this thing was wine, not tea.

Moreover, this wine is definitely an improved version of the "Forget-Me-Not Potion" from the game.

Seeing Feixiao about to raise his glass, Danlei quickly stopped him.
"Feixiao, are you sure you want to drink this? This meal has been prepared for so long, I don't want it to end before we even get to eat."

After saying that, Danlei also said to Jiaoqiu
"Jiaoqiu, hurry up and persuade Feixiao. I heard that she starts to destroy the house when she drinks. I can't force her to eat this meal."

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Fei Xiao immediately pushed Dan Lei away, clearly indignant, and said...
"Your news is ancient history. After returning from Luofu last time, I was able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

After Feixiao finished speaking, Jiaoqiu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, General, after you returned from Luofu last time, your alcohol tolerance has indeed increased significantly, and your old ailments have been completely cured. It's simply a medical miracle."

Dan Lei immediately sensed something was wrong.

Fei Xiao is definitely keeping the matter of the Golden Apple a secret. As Fei Xiao's personal physician, it's normal for Jiao Qiu to be aware of Fei Xiao's current health condition.

But at this point, he specifically brought it up, arguing that the theme of the meal was to discuss how to solve the problem of the fox people.

Danlei thought that Jiaoqiu might want to know how he solved Feixiao's physical problems.

To be honest, the existence of the Golden Apple is no longer a problem now. Dan Lei can even forge planets and create life at will, so creating immortality is really not a big deal.

If all else fails, you can just say that Feixiao was healed by your immortal dragon power.

However, if it is said that immortal power can solve the curse of the fox-people's Moon Madness, then there will be many subsequent problems.

Just as the secret disciples of the Medicine King use the essence of the Vidyadhara to refine medicine, there will inevitably be extremists within the Fox People who will use the Vidyadhara for experiments.

When the two races clash, it will make it easier for Huanlong to sow discord.

Therefore, Dan Lei needs to provide a unique explanation for Fei Xiao's physical condition; otherwise, it will be difficult to explain.

However, such an explanation wasn't something that could be come up with so easily. Dan Lei decisively changed the subject, asking instead...

"Are you sure her alcohol tolerance has increased dramatically? If my house gets demolished later, believe me, I'll make you pay for it. You're Feixiao's attending physician and guardian; you have to be responsible for her actions." Jiaoqiu clearly hadn't thought much about it, or rather, Danlei had misunderstood the purpose of this meal from the very beginning.

So Jiaoqiu looked around at the decorations following Danlei's words, and said to Moze...
"Moze, if this place is really destroyed later, I won't be able to afford to compensate even if I skin it and sell it as fur."

"Then we two brothers should get ready to work for Yu Yangjun to pay off our debts."

Despite Jiaoqiu's joke, Moze remained cool and said...

"I can run, and cleaning up for the general is my job, but cleaning up messes is not."

Upon hearing this, Fei Xiao immediately objected, downing a glass of wine in one gulp, and then remarked...
"Hiss~ This wine is really refreshing, but it's definitely a perfect match for hot pot."

"You lot, start eating! How can you be so sure I'll tear this place down?"

After saying that, Fei Xiao started to cook the meat without any hesitation and then began to eat heartily.

Seeing that Feixiao had no reaction after drinking a glass of wine, Danlei became more convinced that her alcohol tolerance had increased significantly.

Thinking about it carefully, I realized that her poor alcohol tolerance was largely due to psychological issues.

As soon as alcohol slightly numbs his mind, Fei Xiao will be affected by the aftereffects of Yue Kuang, and his inner demons will come out directly.

Her destructive behavior was actually a battle with her inner demons.

Now that her madness has subsided, her inner demons have lost their foundation, and given her physical condition, she naturally won't get drunk so easily.

Seeing that Feixiao wouldn't demolish his house, Danlei felt relieved and started eating and drinking. The topic of conversation changed from the fox people to complaining about the major forces in the universe.

However, the liquor from Du's Tea House is still too strong.

Halfway through the hot pot meal, Maze passed out because he couldn't hold his liquor.

Then Jiaoqiu didn't last long either, stumbled and crawled under the table.

Dan Lei was alright at the moment. You have to understand, Dan Lei's body size is large enough to play with stars like glass marbles. Even if you drink concentrated alcohol, a planet-sized alcohol ball might not be enough to make you drunk.

Although the wine from Du's Tea House is magical, to Dan Lei it's just a delicious glass of ice water.

Even if Jiaoqiu's hot pot contains a lot of tonics and absorption aids, it's not that easy to knock me out.

Dan Lei was secretly laughing to himself, thinking that Jiao Qiu's attempt to steal a chicken had backfired spectacularly.

Trying to use medicinal cuisine to quickly absorb alcohol and get into a tipsy state to elicit information? You're way too naive.

The old fox took the suppressant, but he still ended up crawling under the table instead.

However, Fei Xiao wasn't drunk yet, but she was clearly a little confused. She was tugging at Dan Lei, indicating that they should continue eating and drinking and not pay attention to the two lying on the ground.

Given their physical condition, they wouldn't get sick even if they lay out in the open at night in Luofu.

Seeing that Feixiao was already quite drunk, Danlei didn't try to stop him.

Danlei said that as long as she doesn't destroy the house, he will drink with her until she passes out.

Anyway, Dan Lei had informed Ling Sha and Jing Yuan about tonight's dinner, so unless the sky falls, no one will bother him.

However, it's possible that the medicinal properties became more concentrated as the hot pot cooked.

It might be that the aftereffects of Du's Tea House's "Forget Love Water" series of mint wine were kicking in, and Dan Lei felt a surge of heat as he drank it.

Danlei was already feeling hot, but Feixiao's reaction was even more pronounced.

At this moment, she had taken off all her coats and was only wearing her close-fitting training clothes and super short sports shorts. Her face was flushed as she pulled Danlei to continue drinking.

I don’t know when it started, but Feixiao started sitting in Danlei’s lap and drinking while hanging on his body.

Dan Lei is no longer a paragon of virtue; under the influence of drugs and alcohol, his hands and feet have become increasingly dishonest.

As the drinking vessel changed from a cup on the table to Feixiao's jade lips, Danlei gradually lost himself in it.

The next day at noon, Danlei woke up and saw the messy bedroom and the naked white fox beside him. He immediately realized that he had been tricked again.

Unlike Ling Sha who directly used aphrodisiacs, Jiao Qiu, who understands medicinal cuisine, is clearly more secretive in her actions.

He had clearly mixed some aphrodisiac foods and spices into the hot pot broth, along with alcohol and herbs that promote absorption, unknowingly arousing his desires.

Of course, Fei Xiao was clearly in cahoots with him. Considering the seduction techniques she used in the latter half of last night, she had obviously learned from someone experienced.

So, without saying anything more, Dan Lei, adhering to the principle of "going all the way," started to do bad things to the people around him.

It was evening again.

Dan Lei looked at Jiao Qiu and Mo Ze (Fei Xiao couldn't get up yet), who had already cleaned the yard spotlessly and were standing there awaiting their orders, and sat down on a chair, asking directly...
"Tell me, whose idea was this?"

To Dan Lei's question, Jiao Qiu simply took out his feather fan and laughed.
"It wasn't anyone's idea; it was a mutual agreement."

Everyone in Yaoqing had long heard about the relationship between you, Lord Yuyang, and the General, so no one found it strange.

Therefore, everyone can understand why you helped the general improve his health, resolved the Moon Madness, and opened up a new path for bloodline advancement.

The future of the Immortal Dragon Fox lineage, starting with the general's child, is exactly what the fox people have hoped for.

Dan Lei understood immediately; it seemed that Jiao Qiu was planning to use his relationship with Fei Xiao to resolve the Fox People's potential dissatisfaction with the Alliance and Chi Ming.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the fox-fox so values ​​the Crimson Moon Heart so much, besides solving the curse of Moon Madness, is that the fox-fox also wants to make further progress in its physical abilities.

The fox-people's average lifespan of three hundred years is like a fake longevity species compared to the Celestial Beings and the Wisdom-Holding Clan.

They don't even outlive some races that are not blessed with abundance but are born with long lifespans.

Therefore, if Danlei were to give the fox people a safe opportunity to improve their genes, break the Moon Madness Curse, and increase their lifespan, the fox people would absolutely support all of Danlei's actions.

However, this will obviously require some hardship for Danlei and Feixiao's children.

Once they reach adulthood, it's fine for women, but for men, they probably won't be able to resist being playboys.

So, Dan Lei covered his head speechlessly and said...
"You're dreaming, but have you considered Feixiao's situation? You should know that I can't admit to having a relationship with her."

Jiaoqiu answered this question seriously.
"I've already discussed this issue with the general. She doesn't actually care that much about official titles."

For her, being able to marry the person she loves and contribute to the fox people and the alliance is a win-win-win situation.

A little personal fame is of no importance.

Moreover, Lord Yuyang, do you really think your emotional problems have any reputation in the universe?
Do you need me to count for you how many rumored girlfriends you have, and how many of them have actually been confirmed to have had sexual relations?
