Ch169 – Extra: Thousands of Years Later

In the tenth year after Zhou Ji came into this world, when he returned to the tribe, he discovered that the Beast God Temple had moved to the Big Bear Tribe.

Not only that, someone also offered him divine water… and that so-called divine water smelled like wine.

Back when he’d been on Earth, Zhou Ji hadn’t enjoyed drinking. After coming to this world, although he’d wanted wine for cooking, he’d given up on the idea because there had never been enough to eat.

In ancient times on Earth, many countries restricted winemaking because it could easily make a country short on food.

However, to his surprise, someone had made wine even when he hadn’t mentioned it.

But… this seemed to be a fruit wine?

The first wine that was ever made on Earth also seemed to be fruit wine… After all, many fruits would ferment and produce alcohol if they were left there for a long time.

“How did this divine water come about?” Zhou Ji asked.

The priest in front of him respectfully explained the causes and how it had come to be.

Zhou Ji finally understood that the appearance of this fruit wine was actually related to him.

Last time when he’d come back, he’d ripened all the fruit trees in his yard, picked them all, and then stored them in big pottery jars.

But then, there were two jars that he’d forgotten to eat.

Nobody was allowed to enter his and Xiong Ye’s house when they were home, but he would let someone come in to look after the courtyard and house when they left.

After all, if the yard and house were left alone for a long time, the house would soon become run down.

The housekeeper would help him organize the yard and clean the house, but they wouldn’t dare to casually touch his things, so they had left the two jars of fruit alone. Finally, the two jars of fruit that were covered up turned into wine and started exuding the fragrance of alcohol.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe found it to be a rather intoxicating scent, so they made more fruit wine in the same way and called it divine water.

Many people liked the taste of alcohol and were very intoxicated with it… Zhou Ji wasn’t like that himself, but he could understand why others liked to drink.

However, it certainly couldn’t be regarded as divine water.

Zhou Ji said, “This isn’t divine water. It’s called wine. People with weak willpower will indulge in it, and only know to drink it every day. I don’t like people like that.”

The priest who’d named it ‘divine water’ was instantly full of chagrin.

Zhou Ji continued, “You can use it during celebrations or use it to make food, but you can’t get addicted to it. It will bring disaster to the people.”

Occasional drinking could be overlooked, but drunkards that drank constantly left Zhou Ji disgusted.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” That person replied.

However, Xiong Ye asked about it when he came back. “What is this smell? It’s very fragrant.”

Zhou Ji: “……” Xiong Ye did indeed have the potential to become an alcoholic…

Zhou Ji had hated drunkards before, but he felt that Xiong Ye would be quite interesting to watch if he were hugging a jug of wine in his arms and drinking.
