Chapter 47: I Choose you! Xiao Bai!
The wine looked back at Di Tou. As soon as they made eye contact the world faded to black and Di Tou found himself challenged to a duel.
Di Tou: "I choose you! Xiao Bai!"
*Ahem*
I mean, looking at the wine Di Tou hesitated for a moment, it still seemed a bit early to sleep, but also it was already dark out, and while he had gotten the flame stick he didn\'t particulate want to burn the night oil cleaning.
So… Maybe it was fine?
"Mmn… Is there anything else I have to do before sleeping?"
Thinking for a moment, Di Tou realized he had missed out on one thing he could check on before sleeping. Xiao Bai! The lucky spider!
Of course, there wasn\'t really much Di Tou had to do in regards to the spider, if it left it left, and if it was still here… well he could probably make a terrarium for it, but again, that was a problem for tomorrow.
But, considering that Xiao Bai was one of the first creatures Di Tou really interacted with other than Mu Di Bai (sorry Fu Hao Xin, you get second place) it held a little bit of a special place in Di Tou\'s heart.
Not a big one, by any means, considering it had almost been forgotten, but a bit of a place.
Picking up the candle again, Di Tou shuffled over to the big mirror, before kneeling down to check if Xiao Bai was still there, and in the process accidentally summoned the scroll again.
"…"
Shifting the candle to his left hand, Di Tou waved the scroll away with his right hand.
Peering around the mirror, Di Tou didn\'t see Xiao Bai, although the web seemed to have gotten bigger.
"Sigh, if that\'s fate that\'s fate. I\'ll clean up the web in the morning…"
Getting back up, Di Tou waddled back to the writing table and picked up the glass of wine before heading over to the bed and placing both down on the nearest counter.
Sitting on the bed, and taking off his shoes, Di Tou lay himself down and tried to get comfortable, only to find…
"It\'s too hot!"
After all, Di Tou was currently using two layers of blankets, although one was a bit thinner.
Sighing, Di Tou got up again, and removed the thicker layer of blankets, bringing it over to the table and leaving it in a heap there. "Tomorrow, tomorrow… F*ck why does it feel like I already have a lot arranged for the next day?"
Returning to the bed, in the dim candlelight, he could see that the sheets were already crumpled.
"Haish, it took so much effort and it\'s already gone. This is why I never liked making the bed. Such a pointless task." Shaking his head, Di Tou lay back down again.
Although he wasn\'t all that used to the box pillows, after a while, Di Tou managed to get into a relatively comfortable position.
Leaning over to pick up the cup of wine, Di Tou looked carefully to make sure he had a good sense as to where the counter was and then blew out the candle.
After all, it didn\'t seem all that safe to let the candle run overnight, and considering that the last time he drank the wine he was knocked out in seconds, he didn\'t actually want to be holding the cup when he passed out, so he would have to return the cup to the counter before sleeping, and if he had to add blowing out the candle in that, he was worried that he would fail to do one task or the other.
Now in the dark, Di Tou took a moment or two to let his eyes adjust, but in the end could still barely see anything beyond silhouettes in the room.
"Haish, it really gets dark fast here huh?"
Pausing for a moment, Di Tou remembered the theory that when one\'s sense of sight is restricted the other senses grow stronger. So maybe, now that he couldn\'t see he could smell something from the wine?
*Sniff sniff*
…
"F*ck who farted."
While Di Tou still found that he couldn\'t smell the wine, but the theory seemed to have been proved true, as he could smell the sulfuric taste of the well water lingering on his person.
And now that he smelled it…
"AHHH I CAN\'T UNSMELL IT."
Aggressively breathing out of his nostrils, Di Tou tried to clear the scent out of his mind, but the more he tried, the stronger the scent of rotten eggs grew.
"F*ck it."
Taking a big swig of the wine, Di Tou slammed the cup back down on the counter, creating a small splatter.
"KNOCK ME OUT! I DON-"
*Klunk*
Di Tou used faint!
It\'s super effective!
Stench has worn off.
In the end, Di Tou managed to achieve his goal and fell asleep, but…
*The next day*
*Knock knock*
"Senior, I\'ve arrived."
After a few minutes passed, Fu Hao Xin frowned, could something have gone wrong with senior Mu?
Hesitating for a moment, Fu Hao Xin knocked again, using a bit of inner force this time.
*KNOCK*
After just one knock, Fu Hao Xin\'s face turned pale and he took a step back.
When Fu Hao Xin activated his inner force he hadn\'t felt anything, but when he had made contact with the door, it had reacted to his inner force causing it to run in reverse…
Luckily he had only used a little bit and therefor there were almost no consequences… but if he used any more strength, there was a good chance he\'d have to recuperate for a few days before returning to normal.
Thinking for a moment, Fu Hao Xin looked down at his feet, trying to figure out what was going on before coming to an epiphany.
Taking another two steps back, Fu Hao Xin cupped his hands together in front of his body and bowed down to his waist.
"I\'ve been impolite senior."
Standing back upright, "I\'m young and rash, I hope you\'ll forgive me for my impatience. Disciple Fu will kneel and wait for senior\'s approval."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Hao Xin bent down and kneeled down in front of Di Tou\'s door.
As for what Di Tou was doing at the moment…
