Chapter 897: I Probably Saw It Wrong

Xia Xibei poured half a gla.s.s of wine for everyone.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t spare it, but they shouldn’t drink too much. Moreover, there was not much wine in this bottle, so a little bit for each person would almost finish it.

Besides, there were no good drinkers at the scene. They just wanted to drink in the spur of the moment and didn’t care how much.

If anything, they would not necessarily like it if she gave more!

Although it was only half a gla.s.s, it was an ounce or two of wine, and it was enough.

Yu Ziqi had not come of age yet, but he also got a quarter of a gla.s.s of wine.

He was not very satisfied, but thinking about the fact that he was indeed underage, that was enough.

If he made a complaint, he would be criticized instead, and might not get a single sip!

After getting the wine, everyone smelled it first, marveling, “It smells so good!”

There was also a faint fruity aroma inside, which smelled very pleasant and was not at all like ordinary wine.

Qiao Yanjue also twitched his nose, quite surprised.

Was this fruit wine?

He didn’t like to drink, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t had a drink before.

On the contrary, he had drunk quite a lot of wine, but the taste of this wine was too special, as if it was fruit wine. After taking a deep breath, the taste changed again, becoming mellow and a little more medicinal.

Looking at everyone’s shocked expressions, Qi Yuntian was feeling smug. This was their Qi family’s treasure, how could it be the same as regular wine?

“Come, drink!” Xia Xibei raised her gla.s.s. “Cheers!”

“I wish Beibei a good career, good love, and good health!” Song Jiaren declared, standing up and raising her gla.s.s high.

The others followed suit, “Good career, good love, and good health!”

“You too!” Xia Xibei repeated and took a sip.

Then, her expression changed.

When one first drank this wine, the taste was quite light, with a little fruitiness, not bitter at all, nor as strong as other wines. However, the taste was very substantial and soothing, with a bit of a milk tea texture.

However, when it entered the throat, it turned into a flame and burned in the guts.

“So spicy!” Song Jiaren and the others shouted, yet they couldn’t bear to spit out the mouthful of wine.

Fortunately, the feeling quickly disappeared and the body became warm, as if the heat just now was an illusion.

“Wow!” Tang Luo also shouted, her face immediately becoming red.

She was the kind of person whose face changed color if she drank.

The others didn’t react as fiercely as she did, but the comments were all very positive.

“This is very good!” Song Jiaren smacked her lips, recalling its taste.

After Xia Xibei swallowed the wine, she felt her body on fire, as if the flame was leaving her body.

She couldn’t help but move the qi in her body.

The qi circulated, traveling through her body, and soon reached her head.

After feeling the qi circulating through her body for a cycle, she opened her eyes.

Although it circulated for a cycle, it didn’t take much time, just a few breaths, and no one noticed anything.

“Eh?” Qi Yuntian suddenly froze and couldn’t help but rub her eyes. Then she looked again and saw that it was gone.

“What’s wrong?” Liu Manhong sat beside her, and seeing this reaction, she was immediately concerned.

“Nothing, I probably saw it wrong.” Qi Yuntian shook her head, thinking that she was mistaken.

Otherwise, how could Xia Xibei’s forehead have a floating lotus flower?

She wasn’t a member of the Qi family!

Qi Yuntian shook her head and smiled.

It was probably because she had just drunk wine and was a little dizzy that she had such an illusion..
