Chapter 997: Chapter 82: The Birthday Banquet Begins, Entering the Palace (19 Updates)

"Would you like to drink?" Mu Qingge casually handed the wine pouch she was holding over to Chu Nian.

As her hand stretched out, she realized that this might not be appropriate. However, it was too late to retract now, so she could only wait for Chu Nian to refuse.

But, just as she thought Chu Nian would refuse, Chu Nian came to her senses and reached out to take the wine pouch she offered, not minding that she had just drunk from it. Like Mu Qingge before her, Chu Nian raised the pouch to her slightly open lips and took a full sip.

Swallowing the strong liquor, the intense spiciness made her frown slightly, as her flawless skin quickly tinged with a thin layer of blush.

"Such fragrant wine, and so spicy," Chu Nian said as she handed the wine pouch back to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge took it, appearing dazed.

Then, Chu Nian flipped her palm, revealing a delicate little wine flask. She raised her hand, holding the flask in a toast to Mu Qingge, and with a smile said, "I’ll stick to my fruit wine."

Mu Qingge chuckled, teasing, "I didn’t know Princess Chu Nian was a lover of wine."

Chu Nian replied, "Wine is a fine brew, a gift from heaven. Naturally, I like it. But I can’t handle your heart-burning, lung-scorching strong liquor. Something smooth, with a light drunk feeling, like fruit wine, suits me better."

"It’s rare to have a drinking companion, under the beautiful scenery today, let’s indulge ourselves in a feast," Mu Qingge laughed as she waved her hand, and a row of wine jars appeared between her and Chu Nian.

Seeing these wine jars, a glimmer sparked in Chu Nian’s eyes. She also waved her hand, and another row of small wine jars appeared beside Mu Qingge’s large ones.

She smiled and said, "I can’t handle your strong liquor. I’ll accompany you with this fruit wine."

"Both are fine," Mu Qingge nodded, not insisting.

After all, her liquor was indeed very strong, and most people couldn’t handle it.

She was simply accustomed to this spicy taste, enjoying the feeling that lit her blood afire as she drank.

The fact that Princess Chu Nian turned out to be a wine enthusiast surprised Mu Qingge greatly.

Perhaps it was due to shared interests that the two chatted leisurely while drinking, closing the distance between them considerably.

Especially Chu Nian, whose impression of Mu Qingge had improved much compared to the first day.

Over the past five thousand years, she had met countless young talents and celestial prodigies.

But regardless of who they were, inevitably some would reveal a hint of superiority in the face of universal adoration. However, Mu Qingge did not—it’s not that she lacked pride, but hers was different.

Mu Qingge’s pride wasn’t the high, disdainful kind, nor the arrogance born from talent.

It was an inherent, intrinsic arrogance, a rebellious spirit not yielding to heaven and earth. She refused to accept circumstances, and the breath she fought for had already transcended their current environment.

Yes, that’s the feeling Mu Qingge gave her.

Chu Nian sipped fruit wine, pondering why she felt Mu Qingge differed from others. Perhaps it was because Mu Qingge possessed the freedom many longed for but lacked.

So the two leisurely sat amidst tall grass, and as the wine jars emptied, Wuhua City’s evening glow arrived.

Enveloped in the twilight, Mu Qingge’s slightly drunken eyes gradually widened as she stared in astonishment at the scene before her.

She finally understood why Chu Nian said Wuhua Palace’s most beautiful scenery was the setting sun’s glow.

Without realizing it, she stood up, slightly parted lips gazing at the beauty before her.

Chu Nian also set aside her wine flask and stood up to join her.

"Beautiful, isn’t it?" she asked.

Mu Qingge nodded sincerely, "Beautiful."

Amidst the Wuhua Domain at dusk, it shimmered with radiant paths of seven-colored rainbows, connecting the pavilions and towers in a fantastical sense.

Even at this transitional moment between day and night, stars in the sky began to shine ahead of time.

Mu Qingge tilted her head back, her gaze shifting from Wuhua Palace to the sky above. For the first time, she saw such dazzling stars like diamonds during the day.

Also, for the first time, she could clearly see the arrangement of these stars.

It seemed that if she reached out, she could easily grasp them.

The sunset glow of the Wuhua Domain lasted for two hours.

Only when the glow faded, did Mu Qingge and Chu Nian begin their return journey. Chu Nian walked Mu Qingge to the outer chamber where Mu Qingge resided, and Mu Qingge said to her, "Today, you drank quite a bit. Tomorrow is the Wuhua God Emperor’s birthday, so you might be busy. You should rest early."

"Alright, you should rest early too. Tomorrow, I’ll come over and take you to the Divine Emperor Palace," Chu Nian said as someone emerged from the outer chamber behind them.

The silver hair and blood-red eyes were unmistakable.

Chu Nian glanced up at Yin Chen, nodded slightly, and turned away.
