"Wuming, why are you here? I wanted to invite you to the bonfire feast, but I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you. I didn't expect you to come here on your own."
Old Man Zhong appeared in front of Xue Kong. Seeing a hint of doubt in his eyes, he felt curious.
"I'm not Wuming, my name is Xue Kong." Xue Kong said.
"You..." Mr. Zhong paused, then a look of realization crossed his eyes. "You've regained your memory and remembered your name? Then do you remember where your home is?"
Ruyi's expression did not change much. To her, Xue Kong was just a guest who was temporarily staying in her house and would leave sooner or later.
She thought to herself, "This way he can find his way home."
Then she raised her head and looked at Honglian, who was still standing there after being stopped by Xue Kong.
Just a quick glance.
Even Ruyi, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in her eyes at this moment.
In the wind and snow at night, Honglian just standing there is a beautiful scenery.
The wind was cold, but the sight of the red lotus in its greenish-blue hue seemed to blend in with the snowy night.
The aura emanating from Honglian makes people feel as if they are in the vast starry sky, mysterious, calm, elegant and dignified.
Honglian seemed not to be a woman from the human world, but really came from heaven.
She walked forward gracefully, incredibly beautiful.
Ruyi has never compared herself with others since she was a child, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and lowered her head slightly.
Seeing that Xue Kong was impressed by Honglian's beauty and unique temperament, he immediately felt that it was reasonable.
Ask yourself, which man in the world can remain indifferent to such temptation?
"This is Mr. Zhong. He saved you from the sea." The boy who brought Xue Kong here explained to Xue Kong.
Actually, he doesn't need to explain.
When Mr. Zhong said "You have recovered your memory", Xue Kong guessed the other party's identity.
So he looked at Old Man Zhong seriously and said, "I'm from Yinliu City. I'm a third-generation member of the Xue family. My name is Xue Kong."
"I don't know why I fell into the sea and was rescued by you. Anyway, thank you for saving my life."
"It's just a small favor, nothing serious." Old Man Zhong smiled and waved his hand. "Since you've recovered your memory, you should hurry back home tomorrow. Winter is approaching, and I really don't have anything good to offer you."
"Yes." Xue Kong nodded.
He didn't want to stay in this strange place.
Besides, the conditions of that bungalow were very simple, how could it be compared with his warm Xue family mansion.
Without the other party telling him, Xue Kong also planned to leave tomorrow morning.
As for Mr. Zhong's life-saving grace, I will send some money to express my gratitude when I return to my family.
"Hey, where is the woman from before? Why did she suddenly disappear?" Xue Kong turned his head and looked at the empty space beside him, and couldn't help showing a look of disappointment.
"Honglian... She has the same name as my personal maid."
"I want to find her. If I can marry her, it will be worth it even if we can only be husband and wife for a year."
Xue Kong had long forgotten about coming here, and his mind was now full of Honglian's face. He chuckled and went into the crowd to look for Honglian.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Young people are full of vigor and vitality."
"I think he was blinded by beauty." Ruyi smiled noncommittally, then turned around, put her arm around Mr. Zhong, pulled him, and walked towards home.
"Dad, you're old and it's cold outside. Go home and rest as soon as possible."
"Hey, Ruyi, have you noticed anything strange?" said Mr. Zhong.
Ruyi shook her head: "What's the matter?"
"That Wuming... oh, no, it's Xue Kong... He's wearing such thin clothes, yet in this windy and snowy night, he doesn't feel cold at all."
"I just remembered that his clothes are still at our house."
“…”
Xue Kong walked into the bonfire banquet. The flames were bright all around, but he had no intention of playing or appreciating it. He was in a hurry just for Honglian.
But he didn't know.
At this moment, Honglian was standing in a corner of the street, looking at him quietly.
It’s just that because Honglian’s cultivation is so high, Xue Kong, who has almost become a mortal, can hardly see him. Not only him, but no one else in Jinlin City can see Honglian.
Until midnight.
Xue Kong walked around the campfire three or four times, but still couldn't find any trace of Honglian. However, he enjoyed it. Whenever he wanted to give up, he would think of Honglian's appearance and he would get strength again.
Seeing Xue Kong searching for her again and again at the bonfire banquet, Honglian showed a strange look on her face.
"In the past, he only used me as a pawn. I never thought that after losing his memory and regaining his true nature, he would come all this way just to find me."
"If he regained his memory at this moment, I wonder what he would feel." Honglian raised the corner of her mouth with a faint smile.
Having practiced for more than a thousand years, she believes she can be Xue Kong's ancestor.
But she had a romantic relationship with Xue Kong.
And in public.
Whenever she thought of this incident, Honglian, who had practiced Taoism for thousands of years, could not help but be moved. In addition, she also recalled the details of that time many times.
She discovered something.
"My cultivation base was originally at the late Nascent Soul stage. I took many elixirs but didn't achieve a breakthrough. I could sense it myself. The opportunity for a breakthrough was definitely not there at that time, but..."
"After that passionate lovemaking with him, my cultivation leaped to the late Nascent Soul stage, reaching great perfection... and ever since then, he's left an irresistible bondage within me."
