White Moon Sword Sect

Night fell.

Su Hongxiu had no concern for appearances. She rolled up her sleeves and tore into the stag Ye Kang had hunted, taking huge bites.

Two emerald-green wine jars sat nearby, giving off an intensely rich aroma. They held Plum Sword Mountain Villa's specialty Spirit Wine, July Scorching Fire.

Ye Kang had tried this wine once. It packed too much of a punch for him; he simply couldn't handle it.

But for an expert like Su Hongxiu, who was in the Nirvana Realm, it was just right.

She tore off a huge chunk of fatty meat with her teeth and chewed as she laughed loudly. "No wonder this fine wine was brewed with such care by Great Manor Lord Mei. July Scorching Fire truly lives up to its name."

Mei Luoting looked at Su Hongxiu with helplessness. He had heard long ago that this Commander's daughter was a bold and free-spirited woman, but he truly hadn't expected her to be this uninhibited. She drank from a big bowl and ate great mouthfuls of meat, without the slightest airs—a perfect image of a common street gambler.

Perhaps that was why she had been dismissed from her post.

Of course, he couldn't possibly say something like that in front of Su Hongxiu. Instead, he turned to Ye Kang. "Young Friend Ye, you said earlier that you had encountered a secret realm like this before. May I ask where?"

Ye Kang's heart jolted, but he answered calmly, "It's embarrassing to say, but my Master was rather down on his luck. I followed him as he traveled far and wide, and after spending so much time in the wilderness, I once came across one in a forest beyond the Black Absolute Desert. Unfortunately, my Master was already nearing the end of his life
