Talulah, I'm still a child.

Eureka scratched her head. She was somewhat knowledgeable. Although she didn't understand the culture of the Great Yan Dynasty, there was a long and complicated process in Lateran.

"correct."

"Wouldn't that have allowed me to join the cult last night?"

“Last night was not an option. We have regulations that prohibit sacrificial rites and initiation ceremonies from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and also from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.”

"why?"

Eureka was truly baffled; she couldn't understand why this sect seemed so strange.

"Because the fox spirit needs to sleep, he can't hear the ceremony even if it's held. Besides, our sect is practical in life, and the eleventh doctrine is to go to bed early and get up early."

Eureka: (っ°Д°;)っ I feel like I've been tricked.

"You guys are really quite peculiar, hehe..."

“We’re considered lucky. Some cults even stipulate that underage believers can only play games for four hours a week on Saturdays and Sundays to prevent them from becoming distracted by games. As a result, their cults are highly praised by parents, who have squeezed a lot of students into them and eventually started a school.”

"what?"

Eureka's impression of the Great Yan Dynasty crumbled even further. "What kind of rubbish do the people of Great Yan believe in?"

"Alright, alright, you'll find out later. Now, make a wish to the fox spirit and see what you want."

"All I want is for my luck to improve."

When the leader first approached her to preach, Eureka refused because she was a very independent person and thought that faith was useless. But he said it was free and that the followers of the Fox Spirit Cult were lucky. Many people, like Eureka, had been plagued by bad luck, but after joining the cult, they would be free of such problems.

Since it's free, I might as well give it a try.

Of course, Eureka was desperate and wanted to give it a try, but she didn't place all her hopes on it.

The next second, the wooden carving's eyes lit up, illuminating the thick black clouds above Eureka's head. It absorbed some of them, making her feel much more relaxed.

But this one move caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

"My goodness, you're a jinx!"

Side Story: What Does a Drunken Plum Blossom Look Like (Part 1)

"Hoo... So this is what drinking tastes like."

After drinking a glass of wine, Cecilia felt a burning sensation in her throat, but she couldn't spit it out. Fortunately, Lily of the Valley handed her a glass of honey wine, which helped relieve the burning sensation considerably.

It's normal that Cecilia didn't like the taste since it was her first time drinking alcohol. Besides, Cecilia is only eight years old, and normally she shouldn't even be allowed to enter Rhodes Island's bars. But with Mei Xue with her, she can go anywhere.

"That's how it is when you first start drinking. Cecilia, you're still young, so it's best not to drink too much."

"Has Sister Linglan also drunk a lot?"

Cecilia held her cup; for her, honey brew was still the best drink. Lily of the Valley simply nodded in agreement with this question.

“My father is a priest in the Eastern Kingdom. I also drink a little every year when we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new, but the alcohol content is not too high.”

"I see. Where's Rosemary Sister?"

"Huang drinks it often, so I drink it occasionally too."

At this point, Rosemary couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Ever since Huang found out about her past relationship with Mei Xue, he refused to let her move in with Mei Xue, fearing that this little cat would prevent Mei Xue from getting out of bed all day long.

"Has Sister Wu Lian tried it too?"

"I will drink."

Wu Lian nodded indifferently. Of course she had drunk it, but she hadn't touched it much since arriving on Rhodes Island because minors were restricted from entering bars. If Cecilia hadn't been curious, they wouldn't have followed Mei Xue in today.

Thinking of this, everyone looked towards the bar. The little fox was sitting on a chair with a glass of wine in her hand, while Huang was already completely drunk next to her, even rambling on about how she would dare to sleep with even the little ancestor if she wanted to.

Mei Xue was dragged over by Huang to drink with him as soon as she came in, but the result was obvious. Mei Xue drank more than Huang, but she was not drunk at all. There was just a bit of tenderness and love in her eyes, which made people's hearts flutter. Saria almost dropped the glass in her hand.

"Come to think of it, I've never seen Brother Meixue drunk before."

Linglan then remembered that Meixue's alcohol tolerance seemed to be stronger than everyone thought; she had never seen him drunk.

"But I think Mei Xue would look adorable when he's drunk."

As someone who had known Mei Xue for several years, Amiya's words carried considerable weight. Before Cecilia could even speak, Rosemary, upon hearing this, immediately became interested.

"Then let's get Mei Xue drunk!"

The suggestion immediately attracted everyone's attention, except for Mei Xue, who was listening to Huang complain about Rosemary's lack of affection and didn't pay attention to this for a moment.

Besides them, there were quite a few other people in the bar, such as W, who always wanted to stir up trouble, Surtr, who came to relax, Mostima, who was just killing time.

So, without Mei Xue's knowledge, a conspiracy against him quietly began.

Since the goal is to get Mei Xue drunk, the first problem is to find a drink that can make Mei Xue drunk. The best person to consult in this regard is Miss Ling, the drunken poet from the Great Yan Dynasty.

As someone who once lived in seclusion in the mountains with Mei Xue and even shared a period of marriage with her, Ling himself is a person who loves to drink and must have tasted many fine wines.

"You've come to the right person. It's been a long time since I've seen Mei Xue when she's drunk."

Ling stroked her chin, her tail holding a damp cloth as she wiped the ink stains off the corridor wall. These were all written when she was drunk and inspired. Although the handwriting was beautiful, Rhodes Island strictly prohibited graffiti, so she had to erase them.

"Oh, has your sister ever seen Brother Meixue drunk?"

"Of course I've seen her. He and I were very free during those years, and drinking and having fun were common occurrences. When we got drunk, we would... cough cough, I can't talk about this with you, but Mei Xue was indeed very dangerous when she was drunk."

Spending time alone with Mei-yuki is something that the whole of Rhodes Island would envy, and it's a memory that Ling often reminisces about. In any case, Suzuran and the others all wish they could have the same experience as Ling.

"Danger?"

"You'll find out later. Let's not talk about that now. You want to ask if there's any wine that can get Mei Xue drunk. I can say no."

"No...but didn't you just say you saw Brother Meixue drunk?"

Linglan was a little confused; how could this be so contradictory?

"Because Mei Xue doesn't get drunk, his constitution is very special. Whether it's poison or alcohol, anything that is considered harmful will not affect Mei Xue. No matter how much he drinks, at most his face will turn red, but he will never get drunk."

"What...what should we do then?"

This was somewhat beyond Linglan's expectations. Su Xue'er hadn't mentioned this to her. Su Xue'er had been asleep during this time to avoid Mei Xue noticing anything unusual, so she hadn't been able to ask.

"It's very simple. There is actually a kind of wine that is not considered wine, but it can get Mei Xue drunk."

"Oh, is this even possible?"

"I call it 'Immortal's Intoxication,' which intoxicates gods and immortals but not the heart. Even Mei Xue would get drunk on it. However, this wine is too precious for me to drink myself. This matter is quite interesting, so I can lend it to you."

Ling smiled, picked up the wine pot, and took another sip. This time, Linglan understood. However, before she could speak, Ling's tail stopped the little ones again.

"I don't think you got Mei Xue drunk for any bad purpose, did you?"

"Of course not, we just want to know what Brother Meixue is like when he's drunk."

"Okay, hmm... let's just have a cocktail party."

Ling Ke wasn't comfortable just letting these girls get Mei Xue drunk; she also wanted to see what Mei Xue would be like when she was drunk. So, holding a cocktail party was the best choice, allowing everyone on Rhodes Island to relax.

After some time, a request appeared on Kal'tsit's desk: [Request for Rhodes Island Cocktail Party]

She originally wanted to reject the application, but after seeing the reason for the application was "wanting to see what Mei Xue looks like when she's drunk," she couldn't help but remain silent for a while before stamping it anyway.

Aside from Mei Xue herself, everyone on Rhodes Island knew what kind of conspiracy was behind this party. Everyone had been invited, and someone had started a drinking contest where the person who drank the most could stay with Mei Xue for a week.

"Phew... Nutritional Express tastes so good."

In the greenhouse of Rhodes Island, Mei Xue put down her cup, leaned on Shining's shoulder, stretched lazily, and yawned, feeling somewhat sleepy.

"I remember your favorite was hot milk, why did you switch to this?"

They are now very good friends, and Shining is also very close to Mei Xue. He is happy to see the little fox sticking to him, but when he thinks that she is the person Liz likes, he feels that his private interactions with Mei Xue are more like a secret rendezvous, and his conscience makes him feel bad.

I want to grow taller.

"What does growing taller have to do with this?"

"My sister said that I must be malnourished to grow tall, so I want to drink more nutritional drinks to supplement my nutrition."

"puff!"

Shining was amused by Mei Xue's words and couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to herself that this little fox was really easy to fool.

"Meixue, this has no nutritional value whatsoever."

"But isn't it written on it?"

"What's written on something isn't necessarily true. If I wrote 'beauty' on my face, would you think I'm beautiful?"

"Hmm...yes, Shining is really pretty, you can tell even without writing it down."

Mei Xue nodded firmly. Shining was indeed very beautiful, with a great temperament and a figure so good that even Liz couldn't help but be jealous. She would be a top-tier beautiful older sister on Rhodes Island.

Shining, however, was somewhat oblivious. Only after Mei Xue pointed it out did he realize that this was a kind of disguised show. Helplessly, he pinched Mei Xue's cheek and decided not to discuss this with her anymore. Anyway, no matter how much nutritional drink Mei Xue consumed, she wouldn't grow taller, and it wouldn't harm her health.

Are you sleepy?

"Yes, a little bit."

"Then go to sleep, I'll stay here with you."

Removing the knee pads would make Mei Xue more comfortable to sleep in. Shining was also free today, and spending time with Mei Xue like this was the best way to relax both body and mind. The fragrance of the flowers in the greenhouse was also very pleasant.

"Ok."

Mei Xue finished the last bit of her nutritional drink, then snuggled obediently in Shan Ling's arms, closed her eyes, and started to take a nap. She wondered what kind of party was going to be held tonight, and he figured it would go on until very late, so she needed to get some rest now.

Shining knew about the party, and she could roughly guess what those guys' purpose was, because Shining herself wanted to see what Mei Xue would be like when she was drunk.

Of course, Mei Xue was also wonderful when she was asleep. Watching the little fox let down her guard and snuggle in her arms, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Shining admitted that at first she only regarded him as an ordinary friend, but over time the friendship changed. Now, when she looked at Mei Xue's face, she couldn't help but want to poke it a couple of times.

Because she was so sleepy and drowsy, Mei Xue forgot to wipe her mouth after drinking, so there were still some white milk stains on the corners of her mouth.

Looking around and not seeing anyone else, Shining's heart was pounding. She silently apologized to Liz while gently bending down to lick the remaining milk stains from Mei Xue's lips. Not satisfied, she kissed her.

Mei Xue is usually hard to wake up once she falls asleep, so many people on Rhodes Island have seized this opportunity to attack the little fox when she is asleep. Shining got lucky, as Mei Xue tasted even sweeter after drinking the nutritional drink.

However, Shining, engrossed in her own world, did not notice that Vina, Skadi, Surtr, and the others had already witnessed her infidelity. Although everyone had done such things in private, being caught was a different matter.

"Don't bring her to the party tonight."

"good idea."

"I agree."
