Chapter 49: You Forgot, I Remember for You

The next morning, Shi Ju woke up with a splitting headache and his eyes were rolling up in pain.

She stood up and accidentally stepped on the big chief who was sleeping on the ground. She cried out "ouch" and fell directly on the big chief.

The chief was startled and rubbed his face. He tried to knock the person up, but failed. Then he found out that it was the cave master.

"Ouch, Cave Master." The chief helped her up, and the two of them hurriedly stood up. "Cave Master, why did you drink so much?"

Shi Ju took the clothes and slapped him lightly on the face, "You didn't drink!"

The chief said, "No, you are pregnant, aren't you? You need to take better care of yourself."

Shi Ju sneered and said, "Why didn't you persuade me to drink yesterday?"

The chieftain felt wronged: "Isn't this just to make you happy..."

Shi Ju rolled his eyes and said, "I'm in good health."

She casually put on a piece of clothing and was about to go out, and the chief hurriedly followed her.

He didn't remember much, he just remembered that he sent the cave master back last night, then stepped on the cave master's shoes and fell. He was too lazy to get up, so he just lay on the ground and fell asleep.

Shi Ju didn't remember much, but he remembered that the hundred leaders seemed to have drunk two large jars of wine.

Really good at drinking...

Finally, there is someone whose drinking capacity can compete with that of the eighty-one leaders.

She suddenly turned around and asked, "Didn't you say that pregnancy would cause vomiting?"

The chief scratched his head and said, "I heard it from the doctor as well."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "I vomited yesterday."

Shi Ju: "...So? You're pregnant?"

The chief: "I don't think so."

Shi Ju rolled his eyes again, almost to the point of tumbling to the sky.

Every time he spoke to the chief, it felt like there were a dozen donkeys kept in his house, taking turns kicking him in the head.

Shi Ju had been lying in the room for a long time and had drunk a lot, so he felt a little stuffy in his chest. He stood at the door and took a few deep breaths.

When Wen Lanzhi woke up, she felt something pressing against her waist. She opened her eyes and saw that the ceiling was so high.

She moved to the side, kicked her foot, and kicked the chair.

The pain made her much more awake, she opened her eyes, and suddenly found herself on the ground.

She sat up and found Wu Ci Yan lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Wen Lanzhi: "..." She climbed onto the bed, but instead of lying down to continue sleeping, she kicked Wu Ci Yan to wake him up.

Wu Ciyan: “?”

Perhaps because he had been drinking, Wu Ci Yan slept soundly and did not notice how Wen Lanzhi rolled to the ground.

And he remembered very clearly that Wen Lanzhi must have slept on the inside last night.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was Wen Lanzhi sitting on the bed. He didn't even notice anything wrong and thought that Wen Lanzhi had been in bed the whole time.

Wen Lanzhi was so angry that she pressed on him, trying to crush him to death with her weight. She said angrily, "You! Why did you push me to the ground?"

Wu Ciyan was puzzled.

"You're still pretending!" Wen Lanzhi pinched his face angrily.

Wu Ci Yan kicked him neither lightly nor heavily.

Wen Lanzhi cooperated very well and pretended to be kicked over, lying on the bed, "Ah! Someone hit me!"

The joy of waking up in the morning seemed to pull her back to the Wencheng Tea House. She didn't even realize they had switched places until the little monster outside heard it, ran in, and shouted, "What! One Hundred Chiefs! Who hit you? Let me help you teach him a lesson!"

The little monster showed off the muscles on his arms and raised his head proudly.

Both of them were stunned. Wen Lanzhi said, "Ah... no, no, we were just joking."

The little monster stared at Wu Ciyan and said in a half-threatening tone: "Our cave master said that no one can bully the 100 leaders, not even the husband of the 100 leaders!"

"Husband?" Wen Lanzhi was puzzled. "No, no, no, no, we are just friends."

The little monster laughed and said, "Hey, chiefs, don't be shy. We already got married yesterday! How can you not be considered your husband?"

"Worship...in the hall?" Wen Lanzhi suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

Wu Ciyan lay back on the bed with his back to the two of them.

The little monster said, "Of course! We all heard the one hundred leaders talking about their sweethearts in front of so many people yesterday! The cave master arranged the wedding, and the one hundred leaders also agreed!"

Wen Lanzhi had nothing to say and lowered her head to bite her fingers.

What did she do last night?

The little monster went out.

She turned her head and found Wu Ci Yan still lying there, motionless.

She crawled over and checked Wu Ci Yan's breath.

Wu Ciyan slapped her hand away and sat up.

Wen Lanzhi knelt up and said comfortingly, "Oh, that's... it's a good thing. You see, it's not convenient for you to reveal your name now. If you follow me, you don't have to reveal your name."

Wen Lanzhi followed him and stood up, saying, "They'll all call you 'One Hundred Young Master', so no one will care about your name. Wouldn't that mean you won't be exposed?"

Just as he finished speaking, two female monsters came in with trays and put down breakfast. "One hundred leaders, one hundred gentlemen, please have breakfast."

Wen Lanzhi cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, you guys go out. My husband and I will wash up first and use it later."

The two little monsters retreated, and Wen Lanzhi proudly nudged Wu Ciyan's arm with her elbow, "Look, look, am I really that powerful?"

"Awesome—" Wu Ciyan said with a long tone and a smile.

He was not angry about what happened last night, but he felt that the relationship between the two of them was now ambiguous.

He doesn't like this.

Either say you like it or you say you don’t like it.

He tilted his head and asked bluntly, "Do you like me?"

"Ah?" Wen Lanzhi was stunned. "Is it okay?"

"What do you mean it's okay?" Wu Ciyan raised his head from the washbasin dissatisfiedly, "If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it."

"Well... after all, you can be considered... a friend for life and death, right? How can I not like you!" Wen Lanzhi stuttered.

In fact, she liked him. She had imagined the scene of saying "I like you" to Wu Ci Yan, but she never thought that she would say it casually while washing her face in the morning.

At this moment, she was a little reluctant to admit it, at least under the sky full of fireworks or in the fragrant flower fields.

How come it's here?

The two people had just woken up from a hangover and the pain in their heads had not yet subsided.

Not grand at all!

"Well, okay." Wu Ciyan said, "I like you."

Wu Ciyan blurted out.

In the past, he had also thought about telling the story slowly when the boat was drifting in the mist and rain.

But then he thought again, the demon world rarely rains, and most of the time the sun shines brightly. He wondered if he could still wait until the mist and rain cleared, and when he would have the chance to go boating on the lake.

Maybe the time has never been ripe. Maybe if I don’t say it today, I will never have the chance to say it again.

He said what he wanted to say now.

When he turned around, Wen Lanzhi's face was covered with water droplets from washing her face.

He wiped her clean gently, "It's time to eat."

Wen Lanzhi pursed her lips. Since the other party had said it, she would... not say anything either.

She would have to wait until that beautiful day, when the two of them could live in a beautiful house and go out to play anytime, before she would say anything.

She must wait until that day, because she believes that this day will come.

She said nothing, sat down at the table and picked up her bowl.

Shi Ju was very considerate and asked the kitchen to prepare a hangover soup and sent it to each leader.

When Wen Lanzhi drank, she just felt sweet, but who would have thought that drinking also comes at a price.

Let’s talk about this later in the afternoon.

Wu Ci Yan picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to her, hoping to get her response.

Wen Lanzhi turned her head away and pretended not to see it.

There was a hint of loneliness in Wu Ciyan's eyes.

Maybe he had overthought it before.

She left Wencheng Tea House simply because she didn't want to stay there anymore.

Maybe she just saw him as an opportunity to take her away.

Even if it was someone else who came to the teahouse at that time, Wen Lanzhi might have followed him.

Maybe she can go anywhere, wander around, or stay in Qin'an Mountain.

She just didn't want to trap herself in that unprofitable tea shop.

Wu Ciyan put down his chopsticks.

"Hmm?" Wen Lanzhi didn't notice his loneliness. "What's wrong?"

"I'm full." Wu Ci Yan hid his emotions very well.

He always takes the initiative to reveal his emotions to Wen Lanzhi, but when he doesn't want to reveal them, he can hide them very secretly.

Hiding his emotions and not revealing any flaws is also one of the results of his long-term practice.

If one day he could surpass those gods, he would be able to express his emotions however he wanted.

The two of them had their meal and chatted in the house.

Wu Ciyan asked her, "If I let you stay in Qin'an Mountain and be the leader of the hundred, would you be happy?"

"Of course I'm happy!" Wen Lanzhi blurted out, "I remember Xuezhi once told me a word, 'otherworldly... peach blossoms!' This place is simply another world of peach blossoms."

Wu Ciyan raised his eyebrows, smiled, and without correcting her, said, "Yes, a peach blossom in the world."

Wen Lanzhi said, "Don't you want to stay here forever? Wouldn't it be nice to be a hundred-year-old man forever?"

Wu Ciyan asked, "If you were allowed to be Madam Wu forever, would that be okay with you?"

Wen Lanzhi said, "What's wrong with that?"

Wu Ciyan said, "Then everyone in the world will call you Madam Wu. After a long time, no one except me will remember your name. From now on, when others mention you, you will just be Madam So-and-so. You won't even have your own surname."

He: "Don't you want to be called Wen Lanzhi forever? Don't you want others to call you Wen Lanzhi?"

Wen Lanzhi thought for a long time and said, "Well... Actually, I once had a dream, a dream that would let everyone know my name is Wen Lanzhi!"

Wu Ciyan asked, "What?"

Wen Lanzhi acted as if ready to fight and said, "I don't just want to be Xuezhi's master. I want to be the master of many others. They all want to learn swordsmanship from me. I even gave it a name: Rabbit Kung Fu! From now on, my fame will spread throughout the world, and everyone will know how powerful my Rabbit Kung Fu is!"

She said: "Besides, I don't want to go to a mountain. I just want to be in a teahouse. My disciples can learn swordsmanship and how to make tea from me. When we get tired, we can just cook in the yard and eat."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly became dispirited, propped up her head, and said dejectedly: "But after a long time, I forgot about it."

She crossed her legs and said regretfully, "Do you think there will come a day when I remember nothing, completely forgetting my dream, completely forgetting that one day in the past I dreamed of founding a sect?"

Wu Ciyan held her hand and said, "If you forgot, I'll remember it for you."

Wen Lanzhi said: "Then you have to remind me."

Wu Ciyan said: "Yeah!"

A little demon came in and interrupted the conversation. "One hundred chiefs, one hundred gentlemen, our cave master wants to eat fish and wants each chief to catch fish for her."

Wen Lanzhi: "...Ah? Eating fish?"

What kind of fish? Where to catch it?
