Chapter 51 Quit Drinking
Chapter 51 Quit Drinking
On their first day in Happy Forest, Fang Xiu and his companions found the Thunder Sword Master. However, the Thunder Sword Master did not yet possess the Thunder Sword and needed to abstain from alcohol and gambling first.
Da Ben has a severe alcohol addiction and has developed an alcohol dependence. It would be extremely difficult for him to quit on his own, unless he experiences extreme emotions such as great joy or sorrow.
DouDou offered a solution to this problem.
Relying on DouDou's medical skills, just like when DouDou drugged DaBen to temporarily change DaBen's sense of taste, DouDou can make a medicine that makes drinking no longer enjoyable for DaBen, and physically eliminates DaBen's alcohol addiction.
However, this will take some time. When Dou Dou left Liuqi Pavilion, she didn't have much medicine with her, so she needed to prepare some on the spot. Before that, someone needed to watch over Da Ben and prevent him from drinking.
So Fang Xiu, Hong Mao, and the others decided to take turns watching over Da Ben to ensure that he would not drink a drop of alcohol until Dou Dou had prepared the medicine.
At first, the Mercedes-Benz was in good hands, and the first day went smoothly.
But as time went by, the next day Da Ben started swallowing hard and became restless, wanting to drink something.
On the third day, the symptoms worsened. Da Ben became anxious and irritable, his muscles trembled all over his body, and he could no longer control his urge to drink alcohol.
"Alcohol! I want to drink! Alcohol!!"
As Da Ben stood up, Fang Xiu pressed him down. Dou Dou's medicine was almost ready, and they couldn't let all their efforts go to waste at a time like this.
"Why drink? Let's go outside and have a little sparring."
Fang Xiu took Da Ben out for a friendly sparring match. After the match, Da Ben immediately got a good night's sleep, just like a baby.
The same thing happened on the fourth day, and on the morning of the fifth day, after five whole days of hard work, DouDou finally managed to concoct a "miracle drug" that could cure DaBen's alcohol addiction!
"Is this really okay?"
In front of Da Ben was a bowl of clear, transparent water, colorless and odorless, which had no taste even when held to his nose.
"Of course! This took me, the divine doctor, five days to make, and I guarantee it will be incredibly effective!" DouDou said confidently.
"Alright, drink it now!"
Hearing Dou Dou's words and seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of the others, Da Ben, who had been suffering from alcohol addiction for the past few days, took a deep breath, held his breath, picked up the bowl of colorless and transparent liquid, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Smack..." Da Ben smacked his lips, seemingly unresponsive. "This is just plain water..."
Before he could finish speaking, Da Ben's expression twisted violently. In an instant, an unprecedentedly complex taste burst from Da Ben's mouth. Da Ben felt his internal organs tremble at that moment, and a strange sense of nausea surged into his heart.
Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty...
At this moment, it was as if a kitchen had opened in Da Ben's mouth, with all sorts of smells exploding at the same time, making Da Ben dizzy.
"It's done! Quick! Bring the wine!"
Seeing this, Dou Dou hurriedly urged, and Sixth Sister, who was prepared in advance, took out a jar of wine, opened it, and placed it in front of Da Ben.
"liquor!"
Upon smelling the aroma of the wine, Da Ben disregarded everything else, picked up the wine jar, tilted his head back, and drank deeply, hoping to wash away the strange taste in his mouth with the flavor of the wine.
Under everyone's gaze, Da Ben's expression suddenly changed after he had just taken a big gulp of wine. He immediately grabbed the table and spat out all the wine he had drunk. Although it still smelled familiar, the wine was completely different as soon as it entered his mouth. Da Ben couldn't taste the wine at all, and instead felt extremely nauseous.
Unlike the simple bitterness of last time, this time, in order to help Daben quit drinking, DouDou has increased the dosage significantly, creating a much richer flavor.
Unable to drink, Da Ben kept smacking his tongue, as if that could dispel the nausea lingering in his mouth. At this moment, he had no desire to drink at all; the mere thought of alcohol made him feel nauseous.
One time was certainly not enough to make Da Ben quit drinking. Dou Dou prepared a lot of alcohol, and after unremitting efforts, Da Ben finally quit drinking and got rid of alcohol dependence.
Quitting drinking was successful, but quitting gambling was actually easier; Da Ben's gambling addiction wasn't as severe as his alcohol addiction.
Now that Da Ben has quit drinking and gambling, he naturally took Da Ben to retrieve the sword. In the past few days, the number of spies from the Demonic Cult in the surrounding area has increased visibly, and if they do not take action soon, they may be discovered at any time.
The real Thunderclap Sword is located in a valley cemetery about half a day's journey from Happy Forest. The Thunderclap Sword is one of only two of the Seven Swords that require a trial to obtain.
The group used their lightness skills to travel quickly, and led by Sixth Sister, they successfully arrived at the valley where the Thunder Sword was located. In the valley, there was a mausoleum built entirely of stone.
"Is the Thunderclap Sword located in this cemetery?"
With the Thunderclap Sword within reach, Da Ben tensed up. His hand instinctively reached for the wine flask at his waist, but then he suddenly remembered that he had given up drinking and withdrew his hand.
"The Thunder Sword is inside, Ben'er, go!"
Sixth Sister-in-law gave her an encouraging look, patted Da Ben on the shoulder, and gave Da Ben a gentle push.
Da Ben looked around and saw that everyone he met looked at him with encouraging eyes. Dou Dou even gave Da Ben a cheering gesture.
Taking a deep breath, Da Ben headed towards the depths of the cemetery, while Rainbow Cat, as the leader of the Seven Swords, accompanied Da Ben just in case.
Watching Da Ben disappear into the cemetery, Sixth Sister's eyes gradually blurred. So many years had passed without her realizing it. She had raised Da Ben from a tiny little boy to adulthood, and now she regarded him as her own son. Seeing Da Ben obtain the Thunder Sword filled her with immense satisfaction.
It took quite a while to retrieve the sword flower, so Fang Xiu and the others waited above the cemetery. Suddenly, Fang Xiu's ears twitched and his brows furrowed.
"Someone's there!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a whistling arrow shot into the sky and exploded into a burst of fireworks.
"Oh no, it's a signal arrow from the Demonic Cult!"
Dou Dou exclaimed in surprise, while Sally and Lan Tu drew their Purple Cloud Sword and Ice Soul Sword and charged towards the scouts. Sixth Sister-in-law also gripped her long sword tightly, not expecting that a scout from the Demonic Sect had actually sneaked in here.
This is normal. Although Xiao Lan helped them temporarily shake off the Demonic Sect at the Six Wonders Pavilion, the Demonic Sect was a powerful force. It was already incredible that they were able to escape for so long before being caught up.
Rainbow Cat and Big Ben are still in the cemetery, and there's no way they can escape. They have no choice but to fight the Demonic Cult head-on.
The group stood with their backs to the cemetery entrance, ready for action.
As dust billowed in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves followed, and the expressions of the crowd gradually turned serious.
Black Tiger led the way with Bull Whirlwind and Jump Jump, followed by a large number of Demonic Cult henchmen, numbering no less than several hundred. Learning from the previous lesson, Black Tiger also brought his personal guards, the Thirteen Protectors and the Five Envoys. Not only that, he also prepared a special gift for the Seven Swords, determined to capture them this time!
Riding on horseback, Hei Xiaohu's gaze towards Fang Xiu and the others at the entrance of the cemetery was filled with murderous intent.
"We've found you!"
Seeing that Rainbow Cat was not among the group, Black Tiger's gaze immediately locked onto the entrance to the cemetery behind them. He wasn't stupid; it was obvious that the group was holding out there because they couldn't leave, and the reason Rainbow Cat wasn't there was quite clear.
"You got away last time, let's see if you can escape this time!"
Hei Xiaohu waved his hand, and the generous gift he had prepared for the Seven Swords appeared. It was a pity that Hongmao was not there, but it didn't matter, Hongmao couldn't escape either!
"Form a magnetic shield array!"
