Hehe!
Terra Su chuckled inwardly. What special taste? Wasn’t it just the smell of urine?
Because this jug wasn’t a wine jug at all; it was a chamber pot once used by an ancient powerhouse!
Terra Su had no idea how this chamber pot ended up in Anyang City, and surprisingly, there was still a half-jug of residue inside.
And so, Lou Jun and his group mistook this jug for a wine jug, naturally assuming the undried contents inside were some kind of spiritual wine.
But in reality, it was just a pot of urine, not any kind of spiritual wine.
“What a wasted trip.”
Terra Su thought to himself. His main purpose for coming to the Sleeping Moon Tower tonight was to see an ancient relic. It turned out to be an ancient relic indeed, but it was just a chamber pot with no real value.
At this moment, Lou Jun requested again, “Miss Xueying, could I have another cup to better discern the origin of this wine?”
Terra Su’s mouth twitched slightly as he heard Xueying hesitantly say, “Well… Young Master Lou, the owner of the Sleeping Moon Tower only allowed each of you to taste one cup. I can’t make the decision for more.”
Lou Jun confidently replied, “Miss Xueying, just one more cup. With this cup, I can definitely identify the origin of this wine.”
Xueying thought for a moment, bit her lip, and nodded, “Alright, Young Master Lou, please savor this cup carefully.”
With that, Xueying handed the cup Terra Su hadn’t drunk to Lou Jun.
Lou Jun took it, and this time, instead of drinking it all at once, he stuck out his tongue and slowly licked the liquid in the cup, showing a thoughtful expression as he did.
He nodded thoughtfully at times, shook his head at others, and then nodded again.
Finally, Lou Jun licked the cup clean and nodded at Xueying, “Miss Xueying, I’ve confirmed it. This is indeed the spiritual wine once consumed by an ancient powerhouse. After drinking it, not only did I find the taste rich and lingering, but there was also a slight change in my True Essence.”
Saying this, Lou Jun threw a punch, and the True Essence, which should have been pure and clear, now had a hint of murkiness.
Xueying looked puzzled, clearly feeling that this change in True Essence didn’t seem like a good thing. However, she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, so she nodded, “It seems this jug is indeed an ancient relic as the owner of the Sleeping Moon Tower predicted, and the wine inside was once consumed by an ancient powerhouse.”
Naturally, the spiritual wine once consumed by an ancient powerhouse was undoubtedly beneficial for Martial Practitioners.
For a moment, everyone present was filled with envy for Lou Jun, admiring that he could drink two cups of ancient spiritual wine. But then again, not everyone could be envious, as Lou Jun had the ability to appreciate fine wine, which they did not.
Even the Third Prince couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have cared about his princely dignity and would have joined Lou Jun in tasting the spiritual wine.
But now that Lou Jun had tasted the spiritual wine and made his judgment, the Third Prince naturally couldn’t shamelessly ask for a taste.
However, the ancient relic was still extremely intriguing.
At this point, the Third Prince could only say, “Xueying, since it’s confirmed that this jug is indeed an ancient relic, could I take a closer look? Rest assured, I’ll be very careful and won’t damage it for the owner of the Sleeping Moon Tower.”
“Please, Third Prince.”
Xueying nodded. Not to mention the Third Prince’s status, just her relationship with him was enough for her to trust him with the jug.
If it had been anyone else, Xueying wouldn’t have entrusted the jug to them.
The Third Prince took the jug, unable to hide his admiration, “Exquisite craftsmanship, rich in Spiritual Qi. Truly worthy of being an ancient relic, it’s an eye-opener.”
Saying this, the Third Prince fondly played with the jug, poking here and touching there.
Suddenly, with a “click,” the Third Prince seemed to have touched a mechanism at the bottom of the jug and opened it.
“Uh!” The Third Prince was startled and quickly said, “Xueying, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
He quickly lifted the jug to check if the bottom was damaged.
But as soon as his gaze fell on the bottom of the jug, he froze and muttered, “Imperial Chamber Pot?”
What?
Everyone’s gaze turned to the bottom of the jug.
The exquisite craftsmanship at the bottom of the jug, now revealed after the mechanism was opened, showed four large characters engraved:
Imperial Chamber Pot!
Everyone was instantly petrified.
“Chamber pot?” Xueying was also stunned. The owner of the Sleeping Moon Tower had checked the bottom of the jug before, but the mechanism hadn’t been opened then, so these four characters weren’t visible.
Now that the Third Prince accidentally opened the mechanism, it revealed the words “Imperial Chamber Pot.”
“Chamber… Chamber pot?”
“Could it be? Isn’t a chamber pot just a urinal?”
“So, the half-jug of liquid inside wasn’t wine but urine?”
“Ugh! And Young Master Lou just… let’s not talk about it, it’s disgusting.”
Lou Jun stood frozen, staring at the four characters at the bottom of the jug, feeling his stomach churn.
Imperial Chamber Pot?
No wonder this jug was much larger than a typical wine jug.
No wonder the liquid inside had a strange taste, unlike any other wine.
It turns out, it wasn’t that ancient people had strange tastes; it wasn’t wine at all, it was urine!
He had just been drinking urine!
In an instant, Lou Jun felt his blood boil, a strong wave of nausea rising to his throat. He rushed to a nearby pillar, held onto it, and vomited profusely.
Xueying watched silently, neither stopping nor blaming Lou Jun for dirtying the floor, because his plight was truly pitiful. Drinking urine—just the thought was nauseating.
Not to mention, Lou Jun had drunk urine in front of so many people. Once this incident spread throughout Anyang City, it would become a lifelong stain and a laughingstock for him.
Tragic, with a capital T.
“Uh, so Young Master Lou just drank…”
“Shh, don’t say it, or he’ll come after you later…”
The murmurs of the crowd reached Lou Jun’s ears, making him wish he could just die on the spot or find a hole to crawl into.
