Chapter 23023 How dare you take advantage of your master's unconsciousness and tease her...
"Ahhhh what are you doing?!"
Just like a firecracker being lit, a loud bang came out of the little snake's mouth. He was originally forced to coil up obediently in Zhuang Rong'er's hand and could not bear what had just happened. He forcibly changed his shape, pushed Ah Huai away, and put his arm around Zhuang Rong'er's shoulders.
"How dare you take advantage of your master's unconsciousness and tease him!"
The little snake roared, and used his sleeve to carefully wipe the mouth of Zhuang Rong'er, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep in a millisecond.
The sudden movement from his end attracted the attention of all the guests. The monks could still control their inner surprise and watched this with an attitude of enjoying the show, but ordinary people were frightened. When they saw a man with white hair and green eyes suddenly appear and was still angry, they wanted to slip away through the door.
No matter how good-looking the guests at that table were, they were not easy to mess with. Their survival instinct told them that it would be best to stay as far away from them as possible.
"...Speak softly." Ah Huai said.
There seemed to be residual warmth on his lips from being touched, so much so that even when he opened his mouth to speak, he felt a burning numbness on his face.
He looked at Zhuang Rong'er who was held by the little snake. She could be easily moved by others. She had indeed lost consciousness. She seemed to be having a sweet dream due to her drunkenness. She slept peacefully, with even a faint smile on her face.
"Why is she drunk?"
And he was so drunk.
If someone with ulterior motives finds out, it will be disadvantageous to her.
"...Master, Master has never drunk alcohol. She's tried hundreds of poisons, but never even one kind of alcohol." The little snake was so angry that his teeth were itching. He really wanted to bite Ah Huai to death. "But it doesn't matter. Don't even think about getting her drunk to do anything! With Master's physique, once she gets drunk this time, she won't be affected by alcohol again!"
...So, is her immunity to all poisons due to having been poisoned by all the deadly toxins in the world?
Ah Huai's mind was briefly in a trance, and after two seconds of silence, he nodded: "I understand."
Being able to indulge herself once might be the only way for her to see the person she loves.
This was a beautiful dream that would never come again, and he was glad that he had not disturbed it.
"You understand what you understand!"
The little snake was about to start cursing when Liao Sanda came trembling over, bowing his head. Before he could even say anything, he was already being targeted. The little snake immediately turned around and glared at him, "And you, why did you arrange such sweet and sour wine for my master, causing her to get drunk and be touched by a stinky man..."
What he said became more and more outrageous, doing no good but only harm to Zhuang Rong'er's reputation.
"Enough." Ah Huai interrupted coldly. He stood up directly and before the little snake could react, he stepped forward and snatched Zhuang Rong'er from his arms.
He only used his arm to hold Zhuang Rong'er's waist, and the other arm was placed under her legs, picking her up.
In terms of courtesy, this is clearly a hug, but in terms of intimacy, it is clear that some distance is deliberately maintained.
"Sorry, we're going back to our room."
He said to the trembling Liao Sanda.
After saying that, he took Zhuang Rong'er and went upstairs.
The little snake froze in place for a second before following with a dark look on its face, shouting non-stop, "Put it down! Who allowed you to do this?"
He didn't know what happened just now, he actually felt a moment of fear. It was obvious that Ah Huai was just a good-looking straw bag, and his cultivation was far inferior to his...
They went back upstairs noisily, and until their figures disappeared, the guests on the first floor kept staring at the empty staircase, not coming to their senses for a long time.
It's weird, but I want to watch it, uh.
“…”
Shu Qianhe, who was sitting in the first row under the stage of the restaurant, looked shocked.
She exchanged glances with her junior sister sitting across the table, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Master, Senior Sister, is that... Junior Brother Ah Huai from Xiaoquan Peak?"
Shu Qianhe opened her mouth, but was unable to come up with an answer.
Although Ah Huai was taken away from Wujimen for more than half a month, his "legend" is still circulating among the major peaks and branch peaks.
Jing Yimeng started to retreat after he left, and his Tianjing Peak also closed its doors to visitors. Their disciples no longer appeared in the training ground.
Zhang Dufa was even more exaggerated. He heard from his senior brother Dachui from Xiaoquan Peak that he secretly came out in the middle of the night and stared at the empty arena and cried, and he wiped away the tears with the edge of his bear-skin hat.
Of course, they didn't quite believe the news...mainly because they really couldn't imagine that scene.
"I think it's him... Even though I only saw his profile from a distance, that chin is exactly the same as the half of Junior Brother Huai's face that was revealed earlier!" The Junior Sister's eyes were blank, and she kept muttering to herself, "He's actually so handsome? Then why did someone spread rumors that he wears a hat because he has small eyes and pockmarks?!"
“…”
"And that woman, isn't she the one who showed up with the elders that day and took Junior Brother Huai away? Damn... What's the story between them? I'm dying of curiosity!"
Indeed, that was Zhuang Rong'er. Shu Qianhe also recognized him. This proved that the man who was suspected to be Junior Brother A Huai was indeed him.
Why are they here?
She clearly wanted to avoid death in her previous life, so she deliberately advanced her trip to Xingluohai, but she met Zhuang Rong'er here...
Although her condition is not the same as in her previous life, could Shui Jue be here too?
Will there be any changes in the future that will put everything back on track?
"Uncle Wuheng insisted on starting his journey separately from us, and now we're all here, but he's nowhere to be found." The younger sister sighed, "If he were still here, he would at least take us over to talk to Junior Brother Ah Huai at his table, right? Senior Sister Xiaohe, why aren't you talking?"
"...I, I'm so shocked that I don't know what to say." Shu Qianhe stretched out the corners of her mouth and smiled to cover it up, but her brows were really tightly locked.
Memories of her past life began to reappear in her mind - this was a scene that suddenly appeared before her eyes one day more than half a year ago when she was practicing. She was convinced that she was reborn and that God had given her a chance to turn things around.
In the previous life, the news of Wu Heng’s death was passed back to Wuji Sect, and the entire sect was in great grief. Changbao Pavilion was mysteriously destroyed, and the Lord of Ghost Market disappeared. That was the beginning of chaos in the world of cultivation.
Later, the abbot of the Great Freedom Hall, Kongming, passed away, the leader of the Tianque Sect, Yu Changxiao, died tragically, and the head of the Wanjian Mountain, Li Ruohui, went astray and committed suicide in public... Within three months, the world's great leaders passed away one after another. Furthermore, on her wedding day, the goddess Nianyou of the Yingyue Palace shed tears of blood and prophesied: the world will be destroyed and the Jiyuan will return, causing panic among the people.
However, Shu Qianhe did not witness the prophecy come true before her death.
The only major event she experienced was in the last month before her death. She was shocked to hear that the Zhenhai Dzi Bead under the Xingluo Sea was destroyed. The local rain continued for more than fifty days, causing a devastating flood. Monks from all sides went to provide assistance, and she was in the team receiving orders from the Wuji Sect.
Then, he died in this mission.
Even though the memories of her past life were only conveyed to her through vision and she didn't personally experience the feeling of being overwhelmed, suffocated and powerless, she couldn't help but feel a shadow.
But she couldn't not come.
The destruction of the Xingluo Sea Zhenhai Dzi Bead is a hidden danger. Knowing the future disaster, she does not intervene. Is she really going to watch this place repeat the mistakes of the Xingluo Kingdom being destroyed a hundred years ago?
What's more, she knew what she would encounter in the Starry Sea...
It's much better than letting others come and die in vain without knowing anything.
She was sure that as long as she didn't meet the crazy Shui Jue here, she would never face any danger that could not be solved.
It was she who spread the news that there were magical weapons under the Xingluo Sea in order to have a reasonable excuse to find out. Unexpectedly, her uncle Wu Heng also wanted to come along.
"...Senior Sister Xiaohe, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired?"
Shu Qianhe suddenly came back to her senses because of her junior sister's concerned question.
She agreed vaguely and suggested, "We left a letter for our uncle. If he arrives in Zhaixing Town, he will naturally meet us. There's no need to wait for him in the hall. Let's go back to our rooms and rest tonight."
She returned to her room with a heavy heart, intending to meditate and practice.
But perhaps because she had too many distracting thoughts, she found it difficult to concentrate and instead became gradually confused.
A nightmare based on the death in the previous life begins...
And upstairs, across the wall, in another room of the restaurant, someone was also dreaming.
…
The air was filled with the scent of flowers, wine, and sweets.
Bright lanterns were hung on both sides of the streets, making everyone's faces look like blurred shadows.
Zhuang Rong'er stood in the middle of the road, looking intently, trying to see everyone's faces clearly.
Although the surroundings were filled with laughter and joy, they were all shrouded in fog, passing by her side without any of them becoming a solid entity.
This was an illusory moment, she realized, but the next second, after seeing the blindfolded swordsman in white, this realization was overturned by her own.
Is it him?
Zhuang Rong'er followed him in a daze.
"Glutinous rice candy and osmanthus candy are sweet and delicious. Would you like to buy some to try?"
"Hundred flower spices, all kinds of fragrances, fumigating clothes to help you sleep, perfect as a gift!"
"Who doesn't want a grilled fish? If it's not tasty, you don't have to pay!"
"...Look, look, look, this is a mechanical bird made by Master Liao's students!"
…
The shouts of the vendors echoed in her ears, and Zhuang Rong'er just followed the person in front of her, weaving in and out of the crowd.
But as she walked, her perspective began to rise, becoming a bird's-eye view of the entire situation.
She was confused and felt lost for a moment. She could only stare at the world below, at the person in the world, and at herself in the world.
…
Jing Huai bought osmanthus candy for his junior brother.
After they walked away, "Zhuang Rong'er" also walked forward. She took out a whole ingot of silver, but only took a string of sugar cakes. She continued to walk forward amid the vendor's surprised and happy greetings.
…
Jing Huai was stopped by an aunt selling spices and was forced to accept a sachet of sachet that was stuffed into his hand.
As soon as the young monks left, the spice shop was surrounded by a group of young women. The same type of sachets were sold out in an instant. "Zhuang Rong'er" pushed past the crowd and came to the front, only to see the empty shop. Her face became so solemn that even the smiling business genius boss couldn't help but put away his smile.
…
Jing Huai and his fellow apprentices sat down in front of the grilled fish stall.
He ate the fish slowly and every move was indescribably pleasing to the eye. Occasionally he would stop and turn his head in a certain direction, and "Zhuang Rong'er" would guiltily avoid him by turning sideways.
After they finished eating and left, she also sat down and ordered the same fish, but she could not taste its sweetness no matter how hard she tried.
She seldom ate worldly food, and this was her first time eating fish. Recalling Jing Huai's appearance, she swallowed the fish bones one by one without changing her expression, and left coughing amid the boss's exclamations.
…
When she saw Jing Huai leaving the farthest stall with a mechanical bird, "Zhuang Rong'er" felt her pockets and found that she was penniless.
She walked to the stall and took a look at the so-called mechanical bird. In her opinion, it looked more like a wooden carved duck, no different from the wild ducks in the pond outside Cuihuan Valley.
But she still wanted it.
But she no longer has the capital to trade with mortals.
"Zhuang Rong'er" stared at the duck expressionlessly for a few seconds and was about to leave when the stall owner, who was busy sorting goods, raised his head.
He looked Zhuang Rong'er up and down, then quickly stopped her and said with a smile, "Girl! You finally came. What that young man said was true! This is the mechanical bird he left for you. The money has already been paid. Hurry and take it!"
The stall owner put the wooden duck in Zhuang Ronger's palm. She was a little confused and nervous.
For a moment, I couldn't fully understand what the stall owner meant, and I just subconsciously looked in a certain direction -
"Come on, let's go watch the Qiongtai Opera!"
A fellow disciple who was wearing the same white sword robe as Jing Huai made the proposal excitedly, and the others responded one after another, but he was the only one who turned his head quietly.
"Zhuang Rong'er" was unable to dodge and stood there stupidly holding the mechanical bird.
He stood in the dim light and smiled at her.
…
Then the lights went out.
Where did her mechanical bird go?
