Bai Xiaowen left the main chamber with mixed feelings.
After a quick exchange over the Team Channel, Li Shuyi and Cecilia emerged from the side rooms in full armor—or the appearance of it—and followed Bai Xiaowen out of the Grand General's Residence through a side gate.
"Xiao Wen, what did you say to Zhen Mi? Why do you look even more handsome?"
By the moonlight, Li Shuyi gave Bai Xiaowen a closer look.
"See for yourselves..." Bai Xiaowen showed them the Lingering Wine-Cup Melody status effect.
"Whoa... 20 Charisma?"
"Wait... 72 hours!"
Li Shuyi and Cecilia stared wide-eyed. They focused on different details, but between them, they had summed up just how powerful the Lingering Wine-Cup Melody effect was.
"Besides one vaguely described special skill, Zhen Mi has four dance skills," Bai Xiaowen said. "Wine-Cup Dance is one of them."
Bai Xiaowen gave them a rough account of his conversation with Zhen Mi.
Li Shuyi was stunned once, then twice, then a third time before saying, "That woman... is something else!"
First, Zhen Mi had solemnly urged her husband to put important matters first and refused to "entertain her lord with her beauty." It was what a capable wife would do. It seemed ordinary enough, but it already put her a step above Diao Chan in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Later, when she learned Bai Xiaowen had a grand plan, Zhen Mi appeared to support her husband without question. In fact, her final remark revealed just how clever she was.
Bai Xiaowen's "grand plan" depended on persuading Tian Feng and the head of the Zhen Clan. If he failed to convince them, nothing would come of it, and Zhen Mi would have no reason to worry.
If he did convince them, that would mean his plan was highly feasible
