Chapter 71
Bai Cangze picked up Ji Mingqing from the table. Ji Mingqing couldn't hold his liquor well, but he was very well behaved when he was drunk. He only raised his eyes slightly after feeling himself being picked up, as if he didn't see anything, then closed them again, mumbling, "Who are you..."
"I am Xiaowan." Bai Cangze said this with some shame in his heart after turning into a human form, but in fact, when he thought that only the drunkard Ji Mingqing in front of him could hear it, he felt relieved.
Judging from his condition, he definitely had no memory of the next day.
"Xiao Wan..." Bai Cangze listened to Ji Mingqing's weak voice and murmured, "Why does Xiao Wan feel different..."
Bai Cangze frowned, seeing Ji Mingqing's hand placed where it shouldn't be, he quickened his pace, took two quick steps and put Ji Mingqing on the bed. Then he wanted to leave, but just as he turned around, Ji Mingqing reached out and accurately grabbed Bai Cangze's little finger.
"Didn't you agree to live with me? Don't... don't go back on your word." Ji Mingqing closed his eyes and lay on his back on the bed. Bai Cangze didn't know how he could hold his hand so accurately under such circumstances.
Bai Cangze wanted to pull his hand away. He was going to go out to find Xu Yihe to ask about the situation in Fengxi Garden these days. Unexpectedly, just after Bai Cangze pulled his hand away, Ji Mingqing lying in the quilt began to hum softly.
"...You broke your promise, why are you like this, little cat?" Ji Mingqing closed his eyes, turned over, and lay on his side facing Bai Cangze, but his whole body was curled up into a ball, with one hand curled in front of his chest and the other hand still stretched towards Bai Cangze.
"Please stay with me." There was some tenderness in the murmur of the voice. When Bai Cangze heard it, he couldn't help but stop.
He raised his head and looked at Ji Mingqing, whose cheeks were slightly flushed and who was sleeping in a small corner even in such a big bed. He walked back as if possessed, lay on the bed, and held Ji Mingqing's hand.
"Go to sleep, I won't leave."
It seemed that after hearing these words, Ji Mingqing felt relieved. He uttered a few incomprehensible hums and then fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Cangze, who was sure that Ji Mingqing would not wake up in the short term, gently pushed Ji Mingqing's arm away, then carefully turned over and got out of bed, not daring to make any sound, and could only float to the yard outside the door.
After walking out of the door, Bai Cangze suddenly felt a sense of relief at that moment. He didn't know what the smell coming from Ji Mingqing was. It would be fine if it was just normal contact, but when lying on the bed, Bai Cangze was almost surrounded by the fresh and elegant smell.
It made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Bai Cangze moved his neck slightly to get rid of the strange feeling in his heart. Then he thought about it again, returned to the room, and poured him a glass of plum drink at the bedside.
"That should be about it." Bai Cangze felt relieved and left.
With nothing to do, Bai Cangze came to the backyard, which was still filled with jade slips. Bai Cangze thought for a while, then raised his hand and classified the tens of thousands of jade slips according to their respective types.
Even though they are all wood-related skills, they have different focuses. If Ji Mingqing just looks at them one by one without any understanding, it may take him several months to choose the right one.
After classification, Ji Mingqing's efficiency in selecting martial arts techniques will definitely be enhanced.
Bai Cangze suddenly felt a little fortunate that he had filled this loophole before handing all these encounters over to Ji Mingqing.

It was not until the next morning that Ji Mingqing slowly woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt a little confused. It took him a while to realize where he was.
His memory slowly returned. He hadn't expected that the plum wine was so potent. Just one pot of it had made him like this.
Alcohol is harmful!
Ji Mingqing immediately made up his mind to never drink again. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. When he felt a little better, he saw a glass of plum drink floating in front of him.
Ji Mingqing felt a little uneasy and a sense of crisis. He shook his head violently and saw Xiaowan looking at him with his bright blue eyes.
Ji Mingqing relaxed when he saw that it was Xiaowan beside him. "Thank you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mingqing raised his hand, grabbed the cup in front of him, and drank the Lumei in the cup.
"Ah! So refreshing!" Ji Mingqing drank the cool plum drink, and his headache was slightly relieved.
"Xiaowan, why are you so caring? What would I do without you!" Ji Mingqing hugged him after saying that. Just when he wanted to pet the cat to satisfy his craving, he felt as if a pair of hands were tearing the blood vessels in his brain. The hands did not tear it off immediately, but tortured his nerves one by one like eating squid strips.
Ji Mingqing didn't care about Xiaowan who was in his arms. He raised his hands and pressed his knuckles against his temples, rubbing them hard twice.
"This hangover is too bad."
"Headache?" Bai Cangze asked, puzzled, "Why do you have a headache?"
"Because I drank." Ji Mingqing replied weakly, "It's normal to be like this after drinking." Thinking of this, Ji Mingqing suddenly shuddered, "What am I like when I'm drunk? Did I hit anyone?"
After hearing Ji Mingqing's question, Bai Cangze answered truthfully: "Very well behaved, and didn't hit anyone."
"Hey!" Ji Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't do anything. Then he smiled and touched Xiaowan's head with a belated realization.
"Who's being nice? I'm just being moral. Those who get drunk and act crazy are just bad people." Ji Mingqing said this and lay down again, "I can't stand it anymore. I'll lie down for a while."
"You can circulate the immortal energy to your head. This will provide a lot of relief. Moreover, if there is an injury in your brain, this immortal energy will automatically help you heal."
After listening to this, Ji Ming shook his head and said, "Forget it. Only when it hurts can one learn a lesson. I won't drink anymore. This alcohol is really strong."
"Even a fairy child can drink that wine, how can it be strong?" Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing helplessly, "Your alcohol tolerance is too low."
"Then I won't be able to drink anymore in the future." Ji Mingqing scratched his head, gave himself a quick head massage, and was about to get out of bed.
"There's too much to do today, so I have to endure the headache." He didn't know Xiaowan would come back yesterday, which had already delayed him for the entire afternoon. He will try to make up for all the work this year.
The first is Yuantaopo. When Ji Mingqing was standing there yesterday, he had been thinking about how to improve the facilities of Yuantaopo. Today he should go out and find some skilled craftsmen to do the most detailed work.
There is also a large piece of land he has reclaimed to grow immortal plants. Now a batch of immortal values have matured. He wants to pick them today and keep them to sell to Zhao Yu later.
In addition, he visited the restaurant, the children's playground, and the train station. After finding nothing unusual, he took Xiaowan out.
Looking at Ji Mingqing who was still rubbing his solar plexus on the road, Bai Cangze said helplessly: "If it really hurts, you can use your spiritual energy to relieve it."
Ji Mingqing shook his head and said, "You don't know how much I hate alcohol. Just let me bear the pain. It will be fine after this pain wears off."
"Then why did you drink yesterday?" Bai Cangze couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you tell me to drink that? You told me it was good for cultivation, so I drank it." Ji Mingqing tilted his head to look at Bai Cangze and said with a smile, "Since it can increase my cultivation, let alone wine, I can even swallow a knife."
"I understand. I won't persuade you to drink next time." Bai Cangze hooked his claws and promised with some guilt.
"It's okay. Now help me think about it. Do you know anyone who can carve architecture? The bridge yesterday was really too plain."
"I don't know him." Bai Cangze said firmly, "If you can't find him later, don't worry. You can put up a notice and wait for people to come. It's still some time before the peach blossoms are in full bloom, so we can take our time looking."
Then, Bai Cangze took out his fairy ring when Ji Mingqing was not paying attention, and the voice coming from the other end of the phone was Xu Yihe's.
"My Lord, what are your orders today?"
"Find two people who can carve stones." After saying this, Bai Cangze immediately hung up the fairy ring and put it away.
Xu Yihe: "...Now the things that the Lord needs are becoming more and more difficult to obtain."
