"ah?"
Shen Wuyou blinked, thinking about how he almost made a big mistake. Now he stood stiffly in place, motionless, afraid that if he was not careful, Tanlian would die.
Seeing this, Yeyuetan gave her a soothing smile and then left slowly. When he came back, he had a glass jar in his hand. It was the size of a fish tank and filled with pond water, just big enough to hold a lotus flower.
Shen Wuyou thanked him repeatedly, then hurried away holding the jar.
Ye Yuetan, who was watching her leave from behind, had a gradually complicated expression.
Those silver eyes were dark and deep, and the lotus-shaped pupils were sometimes tense and sharp, and sometimes calm as usual. This repeated for a long time before he finally moved.
Bai Yumo and his gang took advantage of this period to open 6 rooms. Fortunately, Fuyunju had just opened today, and in order to attract customers, the prices were generally low.
Otherwise, they would have to bleed a lot in this fairyland-like environment.
When meetings were held, they usually gathered in Bai Yumo's room, so Shen Wuyou quickly found the place and came back with a jar of holy and elegant Tanlian, smiling.
"Here, this is it. Bring it here."
She placed it gently on the table. Because of the amplitude of the movement, the water surface in the jar moved slightly, and ripples appeared. Above the water surface, the white lotus was shrouded in a layer of warmth under the illumination of the candlelight.
The moonlight begins to appear and the night becomes darker.
The silver light and the soft warmth complement each other, creating a beautiful and pleasant scene.
"Wow, it's beautiful~"
Several people immediately came forward, heads touching heads, surrounding it tightly, and praised it repeatedly.
However, while everyone was appreciating the event, they did not forget their main business.
Bai Yumo immediately extended a finger, carefully sensing the aura within. Although she was a beastmaster, her spiritual roots allowed her to keenly detect special auras that others could not perceive.
For example - the sacred aura of the holy vessel.
As she moved, everyone turned their gazes to look at her, awaiting her reaction. They all hoped this was the Moon Lotus Throne, as all the descriptions matched. Furthermore, time was running out; if this truly was a sacred artifact, it would save them a great deal of time.
After a long time, Bai Yumo's expression finally changed, but her brows became more and more furrowed. Finally, she gave up and opened her eyes, sighing:
"That's not it."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone relaxed in disappointment.
"Is there anything else?" Yan Qingli asked Shen Wuyu.
The latter nodded and said hesitantly, "Yes, there are some, but they are not as ethereal as this one. Besides, there are only a few lotus flowers in the pond. I can't take them out one by one and try them all, right?"
"But if you don't try, it will be troublesome if you miss it..." Bai Yumo said.
The world is very large and covers a wide area. The geographical locations recorded in the scrolls are sometimes not very accurate due to the passage of time. Therefore, in order to improve efficiency, they generally do not look for places they have excluded a second time.
When I was looking for the Peony Axe, I searched city after city before I accidentally found it in the body of a mantle ape.
And this Tan Lotus is so similar to the description of the Moon Tan Lotus Seat in the scroll, almost identical. How difficult would it be for them to give it up?
"Then... I'll try again."
Shen Wuyou also understood what was more important. In this case, he could only let these Tanlian lotus suffer a little.
So she carried the jar back to Huatan Pavilion.
Yeyue Tan was always gentle and kind to her, and also indulgent. He knew how important the Tan lotus in the pond was, and no one except him could touch it.
But now, facing her, he always couldn't refuse, so he smiled and said: "Since you need it, then take it all."
He was happy to be able to help her.
Shen Wuyou didn't understand his deeper meaning, and just thought that he was kind-hearted, or that he gave her what she wanted in order to repay her.
This is normal. She thought, no one would want to be burdened by this heavy debt forever, right?
So it is human nature to want to repay the favor quickly and feel relieved.
Therefore, Shen Wuyou didn’t think there was anything strange.
After getting permission, she became a porter of the queen lotus, carrying out one flower at a time, one jar at a time, until all the queen lotus in the pond were moved out.
After Bai Yumo investigated one by one, she shook her head regretfully, and then everyone knew the result, and they couldn't help but look a little depressed.
Shen Wuyou was so tired. She walked back and forth and moved things back and forth so many times that she felt she could go back if she closed her eyes.
Ren Shi returned to Huatan Pavilion with the jar containing the last lotus flower. He carefully immersed it in the pool water, waited for the lotus flower to float on the water, and then slowly moved the jar out and returned it to Yeyue Tan.
"No... I can't do it anymore..."
She slumped on the chair, panting. She reached out and drank a pot of tea in a row, trying to catch her breath. However, she drank it too quickly. After she finished, she realized something was wrong. She stared blankly at Bai Yumo, who was also stunned, and said in a daze:
"What's this?"
"Wine, wine..."
Bai Yumo originally wanted to hand her a cup of tea to slowly drink, but she successfully ignored it. At this moment, she was still in the motion of handing her the tea, staring with wide eyes, shocked at Shen Wuyou as he finished a pot of wine in one breath, and no one could stop him.
Yan Qingli, who was standing next to her, was pouring tea, trying to bring it to her mouth one cup at a time. But halfway through, she saw her pass over the teacup and directly pick up a pot, tilting her head back and drinking it. "Gu tun tun" went down in one gulp, and her hand that tried to stop her froze in place.
This was sent by the waiter, given per person, a total of five pots of wine, said to be peach blossom wine, not intoxicating, but they were thinking about business so they didn't drink it.
This is good, not drunk, but drunken monster...
Shen Wuyou's face turned green at this moment. She hurriedly wanted to drink some tea to dilute the alcohol, but it was obvious that she had a poor alcohol tolerance. After drinking a whole pot of tea, her face soon turned red.
She felt the intoxication coming on and subconsciously glanced at Ling Wangqing, who had been serving as a backdrop. He had a sullen expression, and a cold air emanated from him. Perhaps he was also remembering her last drunken allure...
The moment Shen Wuyou glanced at his cold eyes, she felt a chill quietly rising from behind her, and she shivered in fright!
"I, actually, didn't mean to..."
The more she talked, the more unsure she became. She quickly slipped back to her room in Huatan Pavilion while she was still conscious.
Firstly, her toiletries were all there, and she was used to sleeping there;
Secondly, she really didn't want to add new shadows to his life because of being drunk.
After all, I want to pursue him.
Although, he is a stranger and it is difficult to catch up with him.
But I am a demon, and I have a long life, so there is no need to rush.
Huatan Pavilion——
Seeing that she was drunk, Ye Yuetan wanted to come over to help her, but she waved him away.
Are you kidding me? After getting drunk, I can even tease someone as icy as Ling Wangqing. If a beauty like Ye Yuetan falls into her hands, what will happen?!
