A hint of bitterness?

Xiao Mu, after savoring it, indeed sensed a trace of bitterness under his tongue.

No, it wasn't just under his tongue; following that, a hint of bitterness lingered throughout his body after the aroma passed.

This bitterness gave his body a dry feeling, somewhat uncomfortable.

"What a pity!"

Indeed, there's no perfect object in the world. What was thought to be a top-notch Red Fruit Wine left a bitter aftertaste, which was regrettable.

Xiao Mu sighed.

"Haha! Did you feel it too, my friend?"

Du Jun looked at Xiao Mu and laughed, "Though Red Fruit Wine has its flaws, it's not without remedies."

"In the Place of Extreme Yang, where it absorbs all things' spiritual energy, it can produce Skyfire Liquid. This Skyfire Liquid, refined to extract just one drop from a ton, and then concentrate ten drops into one drop, becomes Extreme Yang Fire Liquid."

"By dripping this Extreme Yang Fire Liquid into Red Fruit Wine, just one drop can completely eliminate the bitterness you taste afterwards. Would you like to try it, my friend?"

As Du Jun spoke, he took out a small purple ceramic gourd from his body.

This small gourd was not large, easily fitting in his palm, likely holding no more than one hundred milliliters of liquid.

On the outside of the small gourd, formation patterns from Spiritual Arrays were engraved to prevent the spiritual energy from dissipating.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Mu, filled with curiosity about the Extreme Yang Fire Liquid inside the small gourd, gently pushed his wine glass.

With that push, he immediately felt something strange at his fingertips.

On the inner wall of the wine glass, there were a few tiny characters carved with power.

Startled inside, Xiao Mu then calmly glanced at Old Chen.

Old Chen seemed unaware, indifferently continuing with his tasks.

At this moment, Xiao Mu clearly sensed what those few characters carved with power on the wine glass wall were.

"Do not taste his Extreme Yang Fire Liquid."

Do not taste his Extreme Yang Fire Liquid. Old Chen warned me not to taste Du Jun's Extreme Yang Fire Liquid? What would happen if I did?

Xiao Mu glanced at Du Jun, who was smiling warmly and appeared to harbor no ill intentions.

Was Du Jun's enthusiastic manner just a ruse aiming at deceiving me?

Xiao Mu silently chuckled.

Clearly, Old Chen had grasped Du Jun's intentions, hence leaving a warning on the wine glass for me.

If what Old Chen told me is true, what is Du Jun planning to do to me?

Xiao Mu's curiosity was piqued; he decided to personally test it.

Watching Du Jun holding the small ceramic bottle as he opened the stopper and prepared to pour the Extreme Yang Fire Liquid into his glass.

At that moment, Old Chen seemed to casually glance at Xiao Mu again, though his face was still expressionless with no further indication.

Old Chen greatly feared Du Jun; his earlier warning had been an act of reckless bravery.

Understanding Old Chen's mindset, Xiao Mu chuckled joyously to himself.

He was now even keener to find out what Du Jun had install for him.

Seeing Du Jun approaching with the small gourd, Xiao Mu again nudged his glass closer to Du Jun.

"Just one drop can transform Red Fruit Wine into the perfect drink, removing the bitterness from its aftertaste."

Du Jun smiled as he picked up the small gourd and dripped one drop into Xiao Mu's Red Fruit Wine, then retracted the gourd and prepared to seal it.

"Brother Du, just one drop; why not add a few more?"

Xiao Mu smiled at Du Jun, but his eyes stayed fixed on the small gourd in Du Jun's hand.

Du Jun was taken aback by Xiao Mu's words, staring at him in surprise, "Do you want a few more drops?"

Xiao Mu laughed, "Indeed, give me a few more. I've heard of this Extreme Yang Fire Liquid; it's a miraculous beverage, no less than the Red Fruit Wine."

"A single drop of Extreme Yang Fire Liquid in Red Fruit Wine only enhances its color. Just enhancing its color won't make it extraordinary, will it?"

"These two amazing drinks should be mixed to bring out the best in them."

"Brother Du, please add a few more drops, so I can taste what this mixture of two amazing drinks is really like."

"This..."

Du Jun hesitated, giving Xiao Mu another serious look.

Xiao Mu wore a smile, appearing blissfully unaware of any issues.

"Haha, if my friend desires a few more drops, how could Du Jun deny that request?"

Du Jun laughed again, Xiao Mu's expression was too convincing, and he had no suspicions that Xiao Mu had guessed his intent.

As he spoke, Du Jun took the small gourd again and dripped three more drops into Xiao Mu's glass.

"Still too little, why not pour the entire gourd of Extreme Yang Fire Liquid in?" Xiao Mu still acted as if nothing was amiss, cheerfully making his request.

"Surely, my friend is a bit greedy."

Du Jun's gaze suddenly turned cold as he looked at Xiao Mu, but after watching him for a moment, he took the small gourd and dripped a few more drops into Xiao Mu's glass.

One drop, two drops, three drops…

He stopped only at the fifth drop.

At this point, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze; nearby guests all stopped drinking, turning their heads to look at Xiao Mu.

Old Chen, expressionless, glanced at Xiao Mu, but deep in his eyes lay an undetectable trace of urgency.
