Chapter 20 Drunk
Mo Xuan carefully carried the person into the house. Looking down at the person coiled by the snake's tail and smelling the unique fragrance emanating from her, he was reluctant to let her go.
But it was only for a moment. He suppressed his reluctance and carefully placed her on the bed. Watching her alluring red lips open and close, Mo Xuan couldn't resist. His huge snake head gently approached and kissed her lips like a gentle touch on a clear sky. Then, as if someone had stepped on his tail, he fled.
When he saw Chu Chu in the courtyard, Mo Xuan lingered for a while, but in the end he used his magic to send her back to his house. He was very glad that although he could not return to human form, his magic had recovered a lot. Otherwise, the thought of having to wrap his snake tail around another woman would make him feel uncomfortable all over.
He didn't understand why he didn't feel uncomfortable when he was holding Lu Jinyan, but instead didn't want to let go.
They are both women, and although Chu Chu is not as beautiful as Lu Jinyan, she is still considered a beauty. Why does he have a different feeling about her?
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1, current favorability is 23!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1, current favorability is 24!"
"bite...."
"Shut up!" Lu Jinyan waved her hand unhappily, trying to drive away the disturbing voice, but unfortunately, she couldn't get her way.
The sounds in her head rang for a while before finally subsiding. Lu Jinyan smacked her lips in satisfaction, turned over, and continued sleeping.
Chu Chu on the other side wasn't much better off; she was fast asleep. Mo Xuan had reverted to his wrist-sized form, coiled up on the stool, his snake head resting on the armrest, his snake eyes gazing into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
Lu Jinyan had a very uncomfortable sleep. She dreamed that a huge black snake, as thick as a water bucket, coiled around her and opened its blood-red mouth, wanting to eat her.
One moment I dreamt of a handsome man stealing a kiss from me, the next I dreamt of riding a roller coaster, going up and down, swaying and rocking, and I felt so uncomfortable that I almost threw up.
It wasn't until evening that she rubbed her head and got out of bed. Her stomach was churning. She felt awake, yet she also felt not awake. In any case, she felt uncomfortable all over her body.
"Ugh, I feel so uncomfortable! Sure enough, a little wine is good for the soul, but too much is bad for your health! Ouch, my head hurts so much!" Lu Jinyan rubbed her head, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Huh? How did I end up in bed? How did I get back? System, how did I get back? System? System?" Lu Jinyan rubbed her head and called out to the system, but no matter how she called, the system did not respond.
"Strange, where's the system? Is it broken?" Lu Jinyan called out for a long time, but the system didn't respond, which puzzled her. Usually, the system would appear as soon as she called out.
Lu Jinyan closed her eyes and her consciousness entered the space. The system panel was still lit up, but the little white cat was curled up in a ball, looking like it was asleep.
"System? Commander? Commander?" Lu Jinyan tried calling out a few times, but the little white cat still didn't respond.
"Strange, could the system be malfunctioning?" Lu Jinyan muttered a few words, preparing to exit and take another look, but she accidentally glanced at the system panel and saw that Mo Xuan's progress had changed to twenty-four, which almost made Lu Jinyan jump up.
"What's going on? I just got drunk, how did my favorability rating increase by two points? What happened?" Lu Jinyan almost exclaimed in surprise. This was quite a strange thing.
You should know that it has been twenty-two days since she picked up Mo Xuan. Twenty-two days, twenty-two points of favorability. Even counting the negative four points before, it is only twenty-six points.
Of those 26 points, 22 were earned by her using the Mandarin Duck Stones. In other words, it took her 22 days for Mo Xuan's favorability towards her to only increase by 4 points automatically.
Family, do you understand that feeling? She spent twenty-two days gaining four points of favorability, but today she got drunk, took a nap, and suddenly found that her favorability had increased by two points?!
Could it be that she did something while she was drunk? Lu Jinyan held her head and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't remember what happened. She couldn't even remember how she got back to her room.
Could it be that he drank too much and went on a drunken rampage? What did he do to Mo Xuan?
No, no, no, that's impossible. Even if I were drunk and acting crazy, I wouldn't be so depraved as to do something to a snake, would I? Besides, being drunk and acting crazy should decrease my favorability rating, not increase it.
However, this snake is really strange. The favorability rating is also inexplicable. They have been together for so long, but Mo Xuan has hardly ever actively increased the favorability rating. No matter what she does, he always seems to be cold and indifferent.
All of this goodwill was boosted by the Mandarin Duck Stone. She was caught off guard when she suddenly gained two points after getting drunk!
The system wasn't there again, and her head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to split open. It was all so inexplicable. Oh well, never mind, I'll wait for the system to come back.
However, she was still very happy to have gained two points of goodwill and a bunch of rewards for free.
She sat on the edge of the bed for a while before she recovered. The dry mouth and throat made her feel very uncomfortable, so she quickly got up, poured a few glasses of water, and gulped them down. Only then did she feel much better.
I checked the time and realized it was already past 5 PM. Looks like I slept for quite a while. Being drunk is so awful, and there's no glucose or anything here. I need to go get some hangover soup.
Lu Jinyan rubbed her aching forehead as she opened the door. Chu Chu wasn't in the courtyard, so she must be in the room. Sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw Chu Chu sleeping soundly on the bed.
Lu Jinyan couldn't remember when they had drunk too much or when they returned to their room. Rubbing her aching head, she prepared to go out to buy some ingredients for a hangover soup.
We don't have any hangover remedy ingredients at home, so we have to go to the pharmacy to get two doses. Chuchu will definitely want to drink it when she wakes up.
The system only secretly opened its eyes after seeing Lu Jinyan leave. It was terrifying! You can't blame her for pretending to be dead, because she really couldn't answer the host's question.
She couldn't very well say, "Host, you drank too much, so Mo Xuan used his snake tail to wrap you up and take you back to your room, and then he even kissed you," could she?
The host is afraid of snakes. Although she doesn't say it, the system still senses it. It was only after spending time together that she became less afraid of Mo Xuan. If she knew about this, she probably would just quit.
So, to avoid this happening, she had no choice but to play dead.
When Lu Jinyan went out, Mo Xuan was sitting in the courtyard sunbathing. When he saw that Lu Jinyan was awake, he said somewhat awkwardly, "You're awake."
"Hmm, I'm awake. You really can't drink too much of this. It's giving me a terrible headache. By the way, Mo Xuan, I was drunk, but I didn't act crazy, did I?" Lu Jinyan asked tentatively.
"Beautiful!" Mo Xuan replied somewhat guiltily, his eyes closed and the snake's head resting on the armrest of the chair.
"Oh, that's good, that's good. By the way, do you know how Chu Chu and I got back to our room?" Lu Jinyan really couldn't remember. The system wasn't there, and he was the only one in the house who was awake.
"I don't know." Mo Xuan said, then shut his mouth and didn't speak again.
Lu Jinyan had a terrible headache and didn't ask any more questions. Besides, she wasn't so perceptive as to be able to read any emotions from a snake, so she didn't say anything more when Mo Xuan said he didn't know.
"Oh, well, I'm going out to buy two doses of hangover medicine. You stay home and watch the house. If Chuchu wakes up, let her know so she can find me."
"Mm." Mo Xuan hummed in acknowledgment.
Despite feeling waves of nausea, Lu Jinyan went out to the pharmacy, bought two doses of hangover remedy, and then, still feeling dizzy, returned home. She quickly brewed two bowls of the remedy and, without caring that it was too hot, gulped down one bowl at a time.
Then, after sitting in the yard for a while to recover, I finally felt a little better: "Goodness, I'm finally alive! I'll never drink so much again! It was too awful!"
After recovering, Lu Jinyan brought Chuchu a bowl of the cooled hangover soup. Chuchu was still asleep, so Lu Jinyan woke her up. After drinking the soup, she fell asleep again.
This little girl's alcohol tolerance was even worse than hers. Chu Chu didn't wake up until evening. Lu Jinyan didn't have the energy to cook dinner, so she cooked a bowl of egg noodles for Mo Xuan and herself. After eating and washing up, she went back to sleep.
It wasn't until she woke up the next morning that she felt like she had truly come back to life. She cooked a simple breakfast, and after eating, she started writing recipes. She had been so happy yesterday that she had completely forgotten about her important business. Chu Chu, who had slept through the night, was also awake and was grinding ink for her while Mo Xuan quietly watched from the side.
Lu Jinyan wrote three whole pages of recipes before she stopped.
"Yanyan, why are you writing these recipes?" Chu Chu looked at the recipes on the table with some curiosity.
"Uncle Mu and Aunt Chun are opening a restaurant. These are for them. By the way, I'll take you to meet them later. They haven't seen you yet! Perfect timing. I'm also taking you to the Demon Bureau today to get your demon token. Now that you've taken human form, you need a demon token!" Lu Jinyan put the written menu into her storage bag and said to Chu Chu.
"Uncle Mu is opening a restaurant! That's great! Yan Yan's cooking skills are top-notch. With Yan Yan's recipes, Uncle Mu's restaurant will definitely be a hit. Yan Yan, let's go now!" Chu Chu was very excited. She had never seen Uncle Mu and the others in her human form before.
“Okay, let’s go now!” Lu Jinyan nodded.
"I'll go with you!" Mo Xuan's eyes flickered as he looked at the two women who were inexplicably excited.
