Xu Yuehuai had only drunk a little alcohol, not to the point of being incoherent, just a bit tipsy. Besides, she had two pets in her space, who kept reminding her while she was speaking.

She knew exactly what she was doing, and she knew what Shangguan Xi wanted to know. She would say that it was just because she had been holding this matter in her heart for too long, which made her feel a little annoyed, as if everyone thought they shouldn't separate.

And that was indeed the case. Xu Yuehuai never tried to ask Ji Yuanchi what she was thinking, whether she was willing to share the burden with her, go down to the first floor together, and tell her all her plans.

She didn't do any of that; in her eyes, it was all useless, and she wasn't willing to waste her time.

The air was slightly cool. Shangguan Qi wasn't good at comforting people. She could say a few words for the sake of it, but when it came to the real issue, she couldn't say anything. She could only keep drinking, as if that would allow her to empathize with others' pain and share their suffering.

A light drizzle was falling outside, and it hadn't stopped. When they returned, both of them were slightly damp, but it was just a matter of using a magic spell to restore them to their original state, just like when they first arrived.

Shangguan Xi was playing the role of creating a lively atmosphere. She loved to talk, but she kept talking about happy things. She felt that drinking alone was not enough and wanted to drag Nangong Yu down with her, but Nangong Yu politely declined.

But when she heard that Xu Yuehuai was also there, her heart couldn't help but flutter, and she eventually followed her into the room.

Outside, the window was open, and rain mixed with wind drifted in, chilling the air. Nangong Yu looked at the pile of empty bottles on the ground, his forehead throbbing. He supported his forehead with one hand and looked at Shangguan Xi with an unfriendly expression, "How much did you drink with Senior Sister?"

Shangguan Xi, still holding a wine bottle, said unhappily, "Young man, you're wrong about that. What do you mean by saying I drank a lot of wine with my senior sister? Do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu frowned slightly. "What is that?"

"Of course, it was the mighty me who persuaded her to drink two cups, and then there was no need to persuade her anymore, because she was already high." Shangguan Xi drank no less than Xu Yuehuai. Don't underestimate mulberry wine just because it's a fruit wine. The owner didn't know how he made it, but it was incredibly strong.

Nangong Yu: "..." I hate reasoning with drunkards the most in this life.

Nangong Yu, who originally came to drink, ended up cleaning up the mess. With a strange emotion in his eyes, he cleaned the entire room and the bottles that had fallen to the ground.

After cleaning, Xu Yuehuai was leaning against the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside with great interest. At this moment, Shangguan Xi and Nangong Yu also noticed that it had started snowing outside the house at some point.

The soft snowflakes melt into tiny water droplets the moment they land in your hand. With a pinch or a squeeze, they disappear completely, as if they had never been there.

Shangguan Xi stepped forward and leaned against the window. "It's snowing now! The weather in Duancheng is indeed unpredictable and hard to fathom!"

She sighed, and Xu Yuehuai, unable to bear seeing her flower fall to the ground, softly hummed in agreement.

Standing behind him, Nangong Yu saw Xu Yuehuai so lazy, carefree, and without desires. The feeling that had been extinguished in his heart suddenly surged back up.

As if a dying ember had been rekindled, it burned fiercely in my chest. "Don't be exposed to the wind, be careful not to catch a cold."

He spoke in a hoarse voice, reminding the two of them, but his gaze remained fixed on Xu Yuehuai, unable to look away.

Xu Yuehuai still retained a sliver of reason. After regaining her senses, she decisively closed the window.

Having drunk the wine and listened to the gossip, Shangguan Xi had no reason to stay any longer. He turned around, waved goodbye to Xu Yuehuai, and left with Nangong Yu.

The two came out of Xu Yuehuai's room and bumped into Pu Tianyi.

Pu Tianyi glimpsed the scene inside the house before they closed the door, and stopped in his tracks when he saw Xu Yuehuai.

Her expression was indescribable. Shangguan Xi still remembered this man. Drunk, she was incredibly bold. Without saying a word, she stepped forward and hugged his waist, muttering, "Handsome man! Will you marry me? I will definitely treat you well, cherish you, and keep you in my heart!"

Pu Tianyi had never met such a bold woman before. His face turned red, and he hurriedly tried to pull Shangguan Xi off him, but no matter how hard he tried, she wouldn't budge.

Shangguan Xi was like glue, impossible to pull down, and Nangong Yu felt that this scene made him lose face.

This junior sister is really a bit unrestrained and very bold.

"Let go of me!" Pu Tianyi protested.

Shangguan Xi shook her head, a charming smile on her face, "No, no, I'm holding you now, so you're mine. You have to submit to me and take responsibility for me."

Shangguan Xi appears innocent and naive, but in reality, he is full of wicked schemes.

Nangong Yu didn't know whether he should step forward at this moment. He wanted to pull Shangguan Xi away, but he was worried that this woman was pretending to be drunk and flirting with men. If she went up, she would ruin things. But if she was really drunk, for the safety of his junior sister, he had to prevent a disaster from happening.

Each of them had their own ulterior motives. After exchanging glances, Nangong Yu finally made the first move, saying, "Junior Sister Shangguan, let her go. It's very wrong of you to molest someone like this."

Nangong Yu tugged at her arm, trying to persuade her to turn back from her misguided ways.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xi looked lewd and asked, "Senior brother, do you also want to be held like this by me?"

Nangong Yu's expression instantly changed from righteous indignation to one of disgust, as if he had just eaten shit. He released his grip on Shangguan Qi's arm, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Pu Tianyi, and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, farewell."

Pu Tianyi never expected that a single sentence would make him give up on the idea of ​​helping him. He now truly felt like dying.

...

Xu Yuehuai sat in the room, unaware of the situation outside. After everyone left, she was happy to have some peace and quiet. The room was still clean, and she didn't have to worry about anything. She rubbed the jade pendant at her waist, her eyes clear, staring at the ceiling as if she was thinking about something.

Yuan Shui and Bai Ze both appeared in the house.

After such a long period of evolution, Bai Ze has now taken human form. Her cultivation level was already high. She was only injured before, but later, in Xu Yuehuai's space, under Yuan Shui's guidance, she consumed countless elixirs and medicines, and recovered quickly.

Bai Ze was dressed in a white dress, her face and hair were white, and she looked very kind. She was old, and her transformation was that of a middle-aged person. Compared with Xu Yuehuai, she looked more like a mother.
