The Bag's Bag

Chapter 42: It's Handled, It's Handled

The Wine Sword Immortal had his face patted by her tiny hand. It didn't hurt, nor did he feel embarrassed. Was she actually going to help him cross the street?

Wordlessly, he was pulled by the arm by Jiang Wan and yanked out. Then, with a forceful shove, she sent him flying, tracing a beautiful parabola through the sky.

Jiang Wan, with her eyes blurry from drink, tilted her head and giggled.

"Do. Good. Deed. A. Day!"

[Daily Good Deed, Completion Progress: 1/3.]

After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she turned to leave. The Wine Sword Immortal, whom she had thrown away, instantly flew back. He looked down, speechless and amazed, at the little one who wasn't even as tall as his ankle.

Just now, without him paying attention, this child had thrown him away. How was she able to do it? How did she have so much strength?

Jiang Wan shook her head and looked intently at the old man in front of her.

"Grandpa, do you still need to cross the street? I'll help you."

After saying that, she extended her small hands to help the person in front of her. The Wine Sword Immortal raised his arm, making it impossible for Jiang Wan's outstretched hands to reach.

"Hey, little girl, are you only doing good deeds for one person? Old Luo Chen, come here."

Jiang Wan's eyes narrowed into slits. She shook her head, her few steps turning into a winding mountain path.

There was a piece of cloth in front of her. Looking up, she saw an old man. She grinned.

"Grandpa, do you want to cross the street? I'll help you!"

Venerable Luo Chen had seen what happened earlier and thought the Wine Sword Immortal was deliberately playing along with Jiang Wan. However, when he was thrown out, he was in mid-air, tracing a parabola, his face filled with disbelief.

[Daily Good Deed, Completion Progress: 2/3]

The next moment, he stabilized himself in mid-air and flew back, leaving Venerable Yu Yi, who was seated at the head, speechless.

"You two old scoundrels, is it fun to tease a child?"

The Wine Sword Immortal and Venerable Luo Chen exchanged glances, and Venerable Yu Yi was pulled in front of Jiang Wan.

"Quick, tell us where you found this disciple of yours. We want to find one too."

Jiang Wan felt as if her head was light and she was floating as if walking on clouds.

She looked up and saw her Master. She grinned at her Master, revealing a row of small white teeth.

"Master,"

Venerable Luo Chen said from the side:

"Your Master needs to cross the street. Hurry up and help your Master cross."

The Wine Sword Immortal added fuel to the fire from the side.

"Yes, yes, your Master needs to cross the street. Hurry and help him!"

As he spoke, he even handed Venerable Yu Yi's arm to Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan patted her small chest.

"It's handled, it's handled! Master, I'll help you cross the street. Let's go!"

With a "whoosh," Venerable Yu Yi was thrown far away by his own disciple, disappearing into the sky as a speck of light.

Jiang Wan giggled, and the next moment, she flopped onto the ground and fell asleep.

[Daily Good Deed, Task Progress: 3/3 Task Complete. Task Reward: Primordial Chaos Body. Primordial Chaos Body: Can help the host better master Chaos Power. Prerequisite: The host must upgrade their Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root to a Chaos Spiritual Root as soon as possible. Keep up the good work!]

Jiang Wan slept soundly.

Her Master, whom she had thrown away, flew back the next instant.

He looked with surprise at his little disciple sleeping sprawled on the ground. The others also gathered around, circling the child who wasn't sleeping very gracefully.

Venerable Luo Chen: "Strange, your disciple's strength is astonishingly great!"

Wine Sword Immortal: "Even if we deliberately suppressed our cultivation, the weight of this body isn't something a three-year-old child could casually toss around, is it?"

Venerable Yu Yi: "Why else would she be my disciple?"

After saying that, he preemptively squatted down, picked up Jiang Wan, and was about to leave when the Wine Sword Immortal grabbed him.

"Old brother, why are you running off? I think your little disciple is quite good. Why don't you let her become my disciple too? I'll teach her the Drunken Sword."

Venerable Luo Chen stroked his beard.

"Actually, I could also take another disciple."

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! No one is going to snatch my disciple. You guys drink amongst yourselves. I'll take her back first."

When Jiang Wan was sent back to the back mountain, she was still asleep, with two small wine gourds hanging from her waist.

The consequences were as expected. When Jiang Wan woke up, the effects of the alcohol hadn't worn off yet, and she saw the people gathered around her small bed.

She scrambled up, leaning on the railing to look out. Seeing her friends, she immediately took the wine gourd from her waist.

"A friend arrives from afar, let us share a drink!

Here, try it, it's delicious, sweet!"

Nangong Wanyu's eyes lit up at the word "sweet" and she took several big gulps from the small gourd.

Then she passed it to Liuhuo, who was standing nearby. The little boy had no resistance to sweets either and drank it down.

He then passed it to Dong Chen. Although Dong Chen still had a stern little face, seeing everyone else drink, he drank too. After finishing, he passed it to Lu Zhiyi.

Lu Zhiyi took the wine gourd and smelled it, his eyes widening. This wasn't juice, it was wine!

Master had told him never to touch alcohol, as it could impair judgment and lead to mistakes in alchemy.

But all his friends were drinking it. Since Master wasn't around, maybe he wouldn't find out if he had just a little?

After hesitating for less than two seconds, his curiosity about the taste of wine won out, and he drank. Mmm, it was delicious!

With his last remaining shred of rationality, he handed the wine gourd back to Jiang Wan, who in turn passed it to the other children.

When it reached little Xu Hengliang, it became:

"Jiang Wan is giving this to you."

Xu Hengliang looked at the small gourd, pouted, and snorted. He lifted his chin, then looked down again at the wine gourd in the other child's hand.

Seeing the child about to drink from it, he quickly snatched it away.

"Hmph, since she's offering it, I'll reluctantly accept!

I wonder what's inside?"

The child beside him, feeling a bit dizzy, replied, "It's delicious, sweet juice."

Xu Hengliang instantly became furious. He grabbed the child by the collar and demanded angrily:

"How dare you steal the juice Little Martial Uncle gave me?!"

The poor child had barely nodded before being knocked unconscious with a punch.

Xu Hengliang snorted, tossed his companion aside, and sat down next to the child to drink.

By the time the Foundation Establishment Martial Uncle noticed something was wrong, all the children in the back mountain had gotten drunk.

A Foundation Establishment Senior Brother came to check and discovered it was spiritual wine.

Jin Yao: "This whole situation... when they were drinking it, I thought it was juice. Who knew it could be wine?"

Yin Shuo: "What do we do now?"

Jin Yao: "There's nothing we can do but wait for the effects to wear off on their own."

Yin Shuo: "But... who brought the wine in?"

Jin Yao glanced at Jiang Wan, who had fallen asleep again, and chuckled, shaking his head.

"We'll just watch them here to make sure nothing else goes wrong.

And we should put them all back in their beds."

The two of them went around picking up the children and placing them in their respective small beds. The first to wake up was Jiang Wan.

She looked at herself lying in the small bed, tilted her head, and thought, What happened?

When did I get back? I don't remember. Drinking really does cause trouble!

She rolled off the small bed and saw the wine gourd at her waist. Hmm, only one. Where was the other one?

Jiang Wan took her short little legs and searched around, finding her other wine gourd in Xu Hengliang's arms.

This brat, stealing my wine while I was asleep!
