"When did you leave the pass?" Ayao asked.
“Not long ago,” Lou Munan said.
"Not long ago" is a long time?
"Not long ago is not long ago."
His tone sounded perfunctory, and Ayao felt he was angry with her. Lou Munan suddenly fell silent. Looking at his expressionless face, Ayao didn't know what to say. Before, when she was with Xu Fengzhi, it was always Xu Fengzhi who started the conversation, and she used to find him annoying.
Ayao had grown accustomed to this way of interacting with Xu Fengzhi, but now that he was suddenly silent, just sitting in front of her with his gaze fixed on the glacier outside, Ayao felt the atmosphere here was even colder than the weather outside. Despite the cabin being warm as spring, the atmosphere felt icy and stiff.
Ayao glanced at the man's face opposite her, then lowered her head again.
She gently bit her lip. What did he mean?
He came all the way to find me, and then didn't say a word. What does that mean?
Is he waiting for me to apologize to him?
Apologize?
Why should she apologize? It was clearly him...
Okay! She's a little off too.
But didn't he say it himself? Even if she offered him poison, he would have drunk it. He made it sound so nice, but it wasn't really true. Men are all like that, they don't keep their word. What, even if you never respond to me, just being by your side would be enough for me?
It's all a lie, a lie, it's all a lie.
He uttered so many sweet words, but all he wanted was her body. When she didn't get what he wanted, he got angry and resented her.
You filthy man! You bastard!
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but grind her teeth. She wasn't going to apologize to him. If he wouldn't say anything, then so be it. Let's see who breaks down first.
So Ayao also started looking at the scenery outside.
The airship slowly flew over mountains and rivers. Inside the cabin, the girl in purple and the man in black silently gazed out the window, as if the glaciers and snow-covered mountains outside were incredibly beautiful. Time passed slowly.
One incense stick, two incense sticks, one hour, two hours...
Then it got dark.
Ayao was speechless: "..."
She looked at the man sitting across from her. Was this guy really sulking with her? Was he being childish? Was he really going to stay silent like this forever?
Ah Yao finally couldn't hold back anymore. She looked at Lou Munan and said, "You're angry with me, aren't you? You're still angry about that punch I gave you."
"Shouldn't I be angry?" Lou Munan asked.
Ayao said, "So what if I punched you?"
He made inappropriate advances towards her, which is why she retaliated.
Lou Munan sneered: "One punch shattered dozens of my bones. If I hadn't brought even one less magical artifact for self-defense that day, I would be dead. But in your mouth, it's become 'I just punched you once'?"
Recalling that scene, the blood he coughed up, his chest caved in, a wave of guilt washed over Ayao, overwhelming her completely. Her usual strong personality softened under this onslaught of guilt. She glanced at the cold-faced man and asked in a low voice:
"Then, what will it take for you to forgive me?"
Lou Munan waved his hand, and a wine jar appeared on the table. He lifted the jar, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out. The wine shimmered with a radiant glow, and its fragrance was intense.
Lou Munan crossed his arms and looked at A Yao with intense gaze:
"If you drink it all, I'll forgive you."
Ayao's divine sense swept over the wine. There was no drug in it, but the wine was very strong. With her current cultivation level, she would probably lose consciousness if she drank it all. What did this guy mean? Was he deliberately making things difficult for her?
Yes, he was deliberately making things difficult for me. Just look at his expression; he clearly had ill intentions.
With another wave of his hand, Lou Munan created several wine bowls on the table. He slowly poured wine into each bowl, then looked at A Yao with a leisurely air.
Ayao looked at the bowls of wine with a hesitant expression.
In the world of cultivation, for a cultivator to lose consciousness is tantamount to courting death. Being unable to maintain consciousness is tantamount to becoming a fish to be slaughtered.
But surely Xu Fengzhi wouldn't go so far as to kill her? Was he testing whether she trusted him?
Anyway, she has four clones, so even if her main body dies instantly, she will be resurrected in one of her clones.
Because of the kindness they had shown each other in their past lives and their interactions in this one, A Yao still trusted Xu Fengzhi. So after hesitating for a moment, A Yao picked up the first bowl of wine, brought it to her lips, and gulped it down.
She didn't see the man sitting next to her, who was grinning with triumphant satisfaction.
This liquor is really strong.
After drinking the first bowl, Ayao felt as if her body was on fire. She immediately used her internal energy to dispel the burning sensation, and then she drank the second bowl, the third bowl, the fourth bowl...
Ayao was drunk. Her bright blue eyes became hazy, and her fair and beautiful cheeks were flushed with a blush like flower petals. She sat at the table, feeling dizzy, and said softly, "I...I want to sleep for a while..."
She just lay down on the table and fell asleep.
A soft laugh rang out, and the man sitting next to her reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace and letting her sit on his lap, leaning against his strong chest.
Lou Munan looked at the girl in his arms with her eyes closed and her face flushed. He reached out and stroked her face, and chuckled, "She really trusts you. She knows she can't hold her liquor, yet she still dares to drink."
The girl's body was soft and supple. He held A-Yao close to her ear and whispered, "Let me see what secrets are hidden in your little head..."
His amber eyes turned blood red, flashing with a crimson light, and he began searching A Yao's soul again. The search initially encountered resistance from the residual consciousness of his body's clone, but this time it wasn't like ten years ago. Even though that residual consciousness was tenacious, it couldn't stop Lou Munan.
Lou Munan was overwhelmed with a flood of memories. He saw many things about A Yao's past, but these memories were not the key parts he was looking for. Some of these memories were sealed away by some kind of force.
Huh?
Lou Munan's consciousness stood on A Yao's sea of consciousness, which contained many scenes of memories, but the key memories he sought were not there. Before him stood a wall of light, a seal, this golden wall standing in the sea, preventing any force from invading the other side.
Lou Munan gave a soft hum and placed his hand on the wall of light. Red light appeared on his hand, flowing like water and transforming into runes that were imprinted on the wall of light. After only a moment, Lou Munan withdrew his hand.
The mysterious force blocking him is very powerful. Even if he tries to break the seal by force, he may not be able to break it. On the contrary, his violent intrusion may severely damage the little girl's soul, turning her into a cripple.
He lowered his eyes and said, "That's enough."
Let's leave it for now.
Once his strength is restored, we'll search his soul again!
Lou Munan withdrew from A Yao's sea of consciousness.
