After Chen Sui parted with Shen Xinglan, Ning Ruoxian had already had several drinks in the waterside pavilion in her yard.
"This wine is called Liuxia," Ning Ruoxian said, tapping a few nuts on the stone table. "It's a famous wine in the Kunlun Realm."
Shen Sui took a sip.
The tip of the tongue feels a little warm when it enters the mouth, and then quickly turns into a mellow feeling. When it falls into the throat, it burns all the way to the stomach like fire.
"Strong liquor." Shen Sui said.
Only then did she realize that Ning Ruoxian's eyes were no longer clear, but a little drunken.
"Yes," Ning Ruoxian smiled foolishly, "On the way to Kunlun Realm, I found that restaurant. The owner said that Liuxia's taste is the best."
It’s really good, but it’s a pity that she is not used to drinking strong liquor, Chen Sui lowered her eyes and thought, because drinking too much is not only harmful to the body, but also easy to lose memory.
Looking at Ning Ruoxian's current appearance, one can tell how strong the wine is. Chen Sui can only decline.
Shen Sui asked, "Should I take you back to the yard?"
Ning Ruoxian blinked: "Can it be later?"
It seems that Ning Ruoxian can still communicate even when she is drunk, which makes Chen Sui very relieved. After all, she doesn't have much energy to be tormented by a drunkard now.
Shen Sui said yes.
Then Ning Ruoxian drank another cup of Liuxia. Under the cold moonlight, the drunk girl's cheeks were slightly red, showing her gorgeous and charming posture. Only at this time, Chen Sui felt that her suspected fellow villager was a demon, and even had a high status among the demons.
After all, the system said that the Green Lotus Jade Bracelet was the treasure of the demon clan, but Ning Ruoxuan gave it away without blinking an eye.
"I've been here for more than ten years," Ning Ruoxian suddenly whispered, "even longer than I've been on the other side."
Shen Sui blinked.
Others might not be able to hear what Ning Ruoxian meant, but Chen Sui could hear it. He subconsciously reached out and touched Ning Ruoxian's head, then said: "Be good, be good, don't let your imagination run wild."
Ning Ruoxian exuded an incomparably desolate aura. Her eyes were hollow, and without a breath, she looked like an abandoned, delicate doll. "I actually quite like this place. Both Master and my brothers are very kind, but I... I'm really scared. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to leave, but I'm also very confused about what to do on the other side."
"Before you came here, had you ever thought about what you wanted to do?" Shen Sui asked.
This question made Ning Ruoxian's lips curl up slightly: "I want to open a flower shop."
Chen Sui pondered for a moment: "That's great. Since you want to open a flower shop, why don't you open it here?"
Ning Ruoxian opened her eyes wide.
It was like hearing an incredible answer, but Chen Sui was very calm: "Anyway, everyone says that the road to immortal cultivation is long and boundless. If you didn't dare to try it before, why not try it now? Anyway, if you make mistakes, you can try again. There is no need to worry about whether you can afford it. After all, time is of the essence to us immortal cultivators.
"Is there still any meaning?"
In fact, Chen Sui probably understood Ning Ruoxian's state of mind. A strategy task that lasted for more than ten years or even many years was a torment in itself, so why not give himself some entertainment? What's more, people are not without desires.
Ning Ruoxian closed her eyes.
She fell into deep thought, and after a long moment, she said, "I think you're right. I've tried hard and wanted to give up, but it's simply because it's taken too long, and I'm not confident in myself. After all, I never believed anyone would like me like this, let alone that I don't necessarily like myself."
"To be honest," Shen Sui said sincerely, "I think your master Xuan Dao likes you very much and dotes on you very much."
Ning Ruoxian's confused eyes flashed with complex emotions: "I know Master likes me."
Since bringing her in more than ten years ago, the master has played the roles of both a strict father and a kind mother, treating her as his own daughter, caring for her utmost, and giving her warmth that she has never experienced on the other side.
It can be said that Xuan Dao cares about her very much. Even if she says she wants the stars in the sky, Xuan Dao will pick them for her without hesitation.
So she also likes Xuan Dao very, very, very much, but she has not forgotten the purpose of coming to Xuantian Sect.
But she couldn't understand Mo Yanlin.
Or maybe... Mo Yanlin couldn't understand her either.
Even if they understand each other's problems, there is still an insurmountable gap.
"Although his father is the Demon Emperor, his mother, who only had a fleeting relationship with him, is actually a mortal," Ning Ruoxian muttered to the system in her heart, "The reason he cultivates immortality is that he has hated demons and monsters since he was a child, and I just happen to be a demon princess, hmm..."
Suddenly, a large amount of information hit Shen Sui, making him dizzy and confused.
What had Ning Ruoxian just said to the system in her mind? Because Chen Sui's surprised look was too fleeting, Ning Ruoxian didn't notice it. In addition, because of the alcohol, she lost her keen judgment of the surrounding environment.
Ning Ruoxian continued to chatter in her mind with the system, "I just suddenly realized that this strategy you gave me is about the demon princess bravely pursuing love, and the demon prince, because of the estrangement in his heart, plays a scene where he runs away from her and she chases him, and he can't escape even if he has wings."
Chen Sui: “…”
She almost couldn't help laughing.
"How dare you say that," the system couldn't help but grumble. "He can't even get away even if he has wings. I think he can run much faster than you. After more than ten years of conquest, we've only just gained some mutual understanding a while ago. And yet he calls you frivolous. Even an inanimate object like me, a bystander, is laughing."
Ning Ruoxian's eyes were filled with sadness. "Don't say that, please don't say that. The word 'frivolous' really hurts me."
Then Ning Ruoxian suddenly looked at Chen Sui and said, "Sui Sui, do you think I have a chance to catch up with my senior brother?"
Chen Sui narrowed her eyes slightly. This was a damn good question. Fortunately, she still had her wits about her, so she very cleverly turned the question back to Ning Ruoxian: "Then Senior Sister Ning, do you think I can successfully confess my feelings to my senior brother?"
Ning Ruoxian: "Yes."
Ning Ruoxian answered without hesitation, which shocked Chen Sui: "What?!"
Ning Ruoxian tilted her head: "What's wrong?"
"No, I just now..." Shen Sui suddenly became incoherent, "What I just said was, can I, can I successfully confess my love to... Shen Xinglan?"
"Yes." Ning Ruoxuan affirmed again.
Shen Sui was stunned: "Why?"
Ning Ruoxian slowly curved her eyes into crescent shapes: "Because you are kidding me."
Chen Sui: “…”
She must be really sick to try to discuss this kind of issue with a drunk.
