Chapter 82
Yun Jiahu’s face beamed with reverence, and he said, “This alcohol is named ‘Xi Feng Liquor.’ It
was personally invented by the legendary Major General from Xi Ye. In Xi Ye, three hundred
thousand men drank this alcohol while they protected the country. When they went to war and
fought the enemies, they won every single time. Therefore, this Xi Feng Liquor is also known as the
‘God of War’s Wine’!”
Yun Jiahu was extremely emotional on the inside, his expression was one of happy reminiscence.
“Xi Feng Liquor, it is a liquor that tastes like the blood of brave men, marching on their long journey
to be heroes on a snowy road of a frosty morning.”
Two years ago, he was stationed in Xi Ye for duty. After drinking the Xi Feng Liquor, he could still
remember that overbearing and domineering power of that liquor, the tender sweet aftertaste, the
heartiness and exhration that it gave, so intense as if he was riding across the skies—it was
simply an unforgettable experience for him!
That was why the moment the Xi Feng Liquor touched his lips, he spoke so rudely.
Li Fenn stared at Yun Jiahu’s exaggerated facial expressions that alternated between tears and
laughter in astonishment. She snorted and mumbled with dissatisfaction, “Who cares if it’s the God
of War’s Wine or not. In the end, it was just alcohol made by a soldier. Jiahu, you are a soldier too.
In fact, you are a mighty Lieutenant Colonel. Why are you praising other people at the expense of
your own prestige?”
Yun Jiahu shook his head. The look of admiration had not left his face, and he did not look the
slightest bit upset. In a deep voice, he said, “Next to the legendary Major General from Xi Ye, I am
nothing. I do not even consider myself worthy enough to kneel before him or to even carry his
shoes.”
When Li Fenn heard this, she was so surprised that her jaw dropped open in astonishment.
Likewise, the usually steady Yun Jiaming was utterly shocked.
His brother was a proud man with a bright future. He got promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel
before the age of forty, and the promotion to be a General was likely on the horizon; it was
unfathomable that Yun Jiahu was actually being so respectful and admiring of that Major General
from Xi Ye!
But from Yun Jiahu’s perspective, it was reasonable that they didn’t know that the Major General of
Xi Ye was the Dragon Soul’s God of War, who was unparalleled in the nation!
With his sheer might, he guarded Xi Ye’s borders for ten years. What ensued from all those years of
service was a resounding military feat.
His might was the aspiration of tens of thousands of Donghua’s youth.
Most importantly, he was young, and with youth came boundless opportunities.
He was even the subject of many prophecies. It was safe to say that this legendary Major General
from Xi Ye could rece the mighty Lord Chu who controlled the entire Donghua’s army and
be its new guardian.
“D-Does this mean that this alcohol is valuable?” Li Fenn suddenly felt her heartbeat quickened
as it suddenly dawned on her that she made a grave mistake.
“Valuable? Xi Feng Liquor is practically our men’s religion. Furthermore, it is the military’s pride.
How can you possibly put a price on it?” Yun Jiahu looked dissatisfied and scoffed coldly, “This
alcohol is not something that money can buy.”
Li Fenn was awfully flustered as she stuttered, “T-There’s surely a certain price for it? Oh, Jiahu,
you’re making me so anxious!”

Impatience started to creep in, and Yun Jiahu stuck three fingers up right away. “At least this
number.”
“Three hundred? Three thousand?” Li Fenn covered her mouth in surprise. “Could it be thirty
thousand per bottle?”
She could buy two boxes of Feitian Moutai [1] with thirty thousand.
“Three million!”
Yun Jiahu definitely had their attention now. He continued in his deep voice, “If you keep this for
another few years until the God of War is at the peak of his military career, its price might very well
soar up to ten million!”
“Oh my God!”
Li Fenn was so shocked that she yelped and flung the bowl and chopsticks in her hands away. At
lightning speed, she ran down the stairs and rummaged through the trash can.
She felt sick to her stomach. The alcohol cost three million per bottle, yet she threw it away like it
was nothing. She felt so foolish that she wanted to give herself two hard ps.
But this world had no remedy for regret. The two alcohol bottles had already been shattered a long
time ago, and not even a single drop of the alcohol remained.
Li Fenn’s hope waspletely shattered; she stood in front of the trash can for a long time, not
knowing what to do.
The alcohol cost three million a bottle. The price might even go up in the future, but it was now gone
just like that.
“Fenn, y-you… You really wasted a good thing!” Yun Jiahu sighed. He really didn’t know what to
say.
“I-I didn’t know that that bottle of alcohol would be so expensive.” Li Fenn was close to tears.
She gnashed her teeth and said, “It’s Chu Feng’s fault. Why didn’t he tell me earlier that the alcohol
was worth so much? First, this as*hole ruined the marriage I had nned with the Li family. Then,
he made us lose a couple of million. I-I don’t want to live anymore.”
