"Alas, it's truly a pity. Top-tier homemade red wine. If this were stored in the cellar for a few decades, it might fetch a price of a hundred thousand yuan per bottle. We'd be rich then!"
Min Ziqing also shook his head in lament.
But in the next second, his eyes widened. "That's not right, brother-in-law. All these red wines are stored in oak barrels, and the garage is relatively dry. With the same preservation techniques abroad, people can preserve them for decades or even a hundred years. There's no reason yours can only last a few days!"
"Wrong, nine out of ten times wrong!"
"Let me smell it..."
Min Ziqing leaned forward and sniffed deeply.
However, this sniff was no minor matter; it nearly made Min Ziqing vomit on the spot!
"This isn't red wine, this is definitely not red wine!"
"I've drunk quite a bit of red wine myself, and even spoiled red wine doesn't smell like this! There's no wine aroma at all! It's more like... the smell of blood!"
Min Ziqing said, his expression changing.
"Brother-in-law, you didn't kill a bunch of people and pour their blood into the oak barrels, did you?"
Hearing this, Elder Guo, who was on the ground, instantly jumped up.
He had indeed finally broken free from his "preconceived notions"!
He pulled Min Ziqing away, brought his head close to the oak barrel, and even dipped his finger into the barrel.
The liquid inside immediately showed signs of stringiness, and it was crystal clear and continuous.
"It's fresh blood!"
Elder Guo made an immediate judgment.
And these three words made Min Ziqing and Min Ziqiong, the siblings, simultaneously turn pale.
So, Min Ziqing was right after all?
Ying Chen actually killed people and put their blood into oak barrels?
But before the siblings could ask Ying Chen, they heard Elder Guo say again, "But... it's not human blood!"
"Human blood wouldn't present itself like this, and even if preserved in oak barrels, human blood wouldn't still emit the smell of freshly shed blood. It would be more spoiled and putrid, unbearable to smell."
"This should be the blood of other animals!"
Elder Guo's words inadvertently revealed some of his secrets.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such profound research and knowledge of human blood!
"You scared me to death, Elder Guo. Can you speak without gasping for breath? I almost thought my brother-in-law was a night butcher, a serial killer!"
Min Ziqing patted his chest and said.
"But, based on your experience, Elder Guo, what kind of blood is this?"
Elder Guo shook his head, "I can't tell."
After speaking, Elder Guo looked at Ying Chen.
Clearly, he wasn't going to play guessing games and was waiting for Ying Chen to reveal the answer.
Ying Chen, however, revealed a hint of a sneer and retorted, "What do you think?"
Elder Guo was initially full of doubt.
A few seconds later, Elder Guo suddenly seemed to understand something and jumped three feet high.
He shouted with a voice that almost pierced the roof, "How is that possible!"
Elder Guo's uncharacteristic behavior left the Min Ziqing siblings bewildered.
What happened?
Why was Elder Guo like this?
It wasn't until Elder Guo, in a daze, muttered a few words that the two suddenly understood!
"How can there be real dragons in this world? Dragon blood, is this really dragon blood? Impossible, I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."
"But this texture that has never been seen before, this profound energy emanating from within, this crystal-clear, jade-like color, none of these are possessed by the blood of ordinary animals!"
"It seems that other than dragon blood, there's no other explanation..."
"Dragon blood?" Min Ziqiong and Min Ziqing exchanged glances, and they were both shocked into petrification on the spot!
They never imagined that such a thing could actually exist in this world!
"So this is what dragon blood looks like! Tsk tsk, I've opened my eyes today. If I were to taste it, would I live a hundred years and be free from all diseases?"
Min Ziqing, being bold, stepped forward after his shock, dipped a finger in some dragon blood, and was about to put it in his mouth.
Ying Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "Whether you'll live a hundred years is hard to say, but you'll definitely be free from all diseases."
"Really?" Min Ziqing's eyes lit up.
He opened his mouth and pushed his finger into it.
But before he could close his mouth and savor the taste of dragon blood, he heard Ying Chen say again, "Of course it's true. After all, how can a dead person get sick?"
"What?" Min Ziqing was greatly alarmed.
As he withdrew his finger, he spat "Ptooey, ptooey" onto the ground.
Elder Guo looked at Min Ziqing as if he were an idiot. "Dragon blood contains a large amount of vital energy. This vital energy is like a small bomb. For a master who has achieved great cultivation, it might be bearable, as they can withstand the impact of the bomb. But for an ordinary person like you, it would directly kill you."
"This is called 'excessive nourishment' in medicine."
"Simply put, you're too weak!"
Hearing this, Min Ziqing immediately became agitated. "You can say anything about me, but you can't say I'm weak!"
"Even if I am weak, you can't say it! If my dozen or so girlfriends hear this, how will I maintain my reputation in the martial world?"
Good heavens, Min Ziqing perfectly exemplified what it meant to be a "scumbag."
He actually had over a dozen girlfriends!
No wonder he was so weak.
"Over a dozen girlfriends? Heh heh, Min Ziqing, you're something, you really know how to play! Come, come out, and tell me in detail about your stories with your dozen girlfriends."
Min Ziqiong grabbed Min Ziqing's ear and dragged him out of the garage.
On one hand, she genuinely wanted to discipline her scumbag brother, and on the other hand, she wanted to make space for Ying Chen and Elder Guo, so that Min Ziqing wouldn't keep interrupting and causing trouble.
After the two left, Elder Guo's gaze fell intently on the freezers.
Without rushing to open them, he asked Ying Chen, "Since the oak barrels contain dragon blood, the freezers must contain dragon meat, right?"
Ying Chen smiled slightly, "Whether it is or not, you'll know with a glance."
Elder Guo walked forward leisurely and opened a freezer.
The next second, he was so shocked that his face turned pale.
If he had still had doubts about the dragon blood before, he had none now!
Because in the freezer lay a coiled dragon tendon!
Below it were piled a long, twisted spine!
This was like an archaeologist uncovering a complete dinosaur fossil. No matter how stubborn the person, they couldn't point to these fossils and say they were from a crocodile or a large turkey!
After a long while, Elder Guo recovered from his shock.
He sighed deeply and said, "The world is full of wonders. Indeed, I have been too ignorant. I apologize for my doubts before!"
"At the same time, can you tell me: how did you achieve such a feat? You know, that was a dragon! A legendary creature that controls clouds and rain and summons lightning!"
Ying Chen shook his head, "To be precise, it wasn't a dragon, but a Qilin."
"The kind of dragon that can summon wind and rain, I don't know if I can kill it, after all, I've never seen one either. But a Qilin is just a more powerful snake!"
"If I can't even kill them, then how can I claim to be the number one person in this era?"
