“Woo!”
Lucas seemed calm on the surface but was extremely delighted and excited upon seeing Darryl downing the wine.
Lucas had indeed invited Darryl to drink with him not out of admiration, but just to accomplish Jackie’s orders in capturing Darryl.
Lucas was cunning. He knew that a powerful person like Darryl would not be affected by common poisons, so he was not that stupid as to poison the wine!
The wine had no poison in it, but the wine itself was problematic!
Tipsy is a Yellow Sea Continent specialty strong alcoholic drink. One mouthful of the wine could make a person drunk for almost half a month. Even if a cultivator were to drink it, they might not be able to resist the strong alcohol. Everyone familiar with the wine knew they had to first take the antidote to fully enjoy Tipsy.
Lucas’s plan was simple. He deliberately did not tell Darryl how strong Tipsy was and waited until Darryl was drunk before tying him up.
On the other hand, Lucas had already taken the antidote, so he naturally was not afraid of it.
“Master Darby.” Lucas smiled and looked at Darryl. “How’s the wine?”
“It’s great!”
Darryl nodded and could not help but exclaimed, “The aroma of the wine is strong, it has a sweet aftertaste. A great wine!”
Darryl was highly skilled in producing elixirs. He even previously learned some medicinal skills from the Divine Farmer. The moment he tasted the wine, he knew there was no poison in it, so he let his guard down.
At that moment, Darryl still did not know that Tipsy would cause a strong reaction.
“Haha!”
Lucas chuckled out loud before quickly and diligently poured some more wine for Darryl. “You should drink more of it since you like the wine so much.”
His face was smiling, but his eyes were filled with maliciousness.
Darryl did not say no and continued drinking the wine and started chatting with Lucas.
“Master Darby!”
Lucas said excitedly a few glasses of wine later, “I’m very honored that Master Darby did not mind my previous behavior. You’re so generous. In truth, I was previously making matters difficult for you because I liked Parker too much and got a little jealous upon seeing her getting so close with you…”
