Chapter 80 Extra (Filming Wrap-up): If everything...
The spring sunshine is exceptionally bright today.
Fu Yunyao sat in the courtyard, watching the wind rustle through the branches and leaves, and the petals falling gently, a scene both beautiful and peaceful.
A gentle breeze rustled through her hair, carrying with it the sounds from the courtyard gate.
"Yun Yao".
The boy leaned against the courtyard gate, his eyes full of smiles.
He raised his eyebrows at her, but before he could speak, he heard a urging voice behind him.
"Why is Yu Bai standing at the door?" Cheng Minxi reached out and patted his shoulder, then raised her other hand, in which a delicately wrapped pastry shimmered in the sunlight.
"They say this place has the best pastries, want to try them?"
Fu Yunyao chuckled softly, "Where are the others?"
Cheng Minxi placed the pastries on the table and replied, "Wen Ci and Fu Ying are busy dealing with sect affairs, so they should be later. Also..."
As he was speaking, a soft voice came from outside the courtyard again, "Did you call me?"
Cheng Minxi turned his head, just as Su Fuying and Wen Ci walked into the courtyard.
"I thought you wouldn't arrive until much later."
Wen Ci waved his sleeve, and several jars of wine appeared on the table. "My master's treasured Qingzhu Zui, would you like to try some?"
Su Fuying also said, "I've left the sect's affairs to my master to handle."
"Perfect, I brought all the other ingredients." Shi Yubai clapped his hands. "Where should we begin?"
"Young Master Shi, you should rest." Cheng Minxi drawled out the last syllable of his admonition. He dared not let him take charge of their meals; the last time he ate his food, he almost died from poisoning!
"I really learned it this time!" Shi Yubai tried to prove himself.
"Yes, yes, our Young Master Shi is really amazing," Cheng Minxi replied perfunctorily.
Fu Yunyao rested her chin on her hand, watching them playfully bicker with a smile in her eyes.
Su Fuying sat down beside her and poured herself a glass of water. "Where is he?"
"You mean Fu Yusheng?" Fu Yunyao tilted her head. "He's always very busy. Right now, he should be at the Immortal Alliance."
"Alliance Leader Mu is looking for him again?"
"Um."
Looking at the pile of ingredients waiting for them to process, Wen Ci wondered if they would even be able to eat today. If not, they could just drink and enjoy the moon.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the courtyard.
Cheng Minxi stopped his mutual insults with Shi Yubai and developed the same doubts as Wen Ci.
"If Wanyin were here, that would be great."
The courtyard fell silent for a moment.
Shi Yubai's smile vanished, "Wanyin, she..."
Who's calling me?
A light, cheerful sound came from inside.
Fu Yunyao looked up.
A head slowly peeked out from behind the courtyard gate.
The setting sun behind her stained her blue dress red.
She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said with a laugh, "I was only a little late, didn't I? You missed me?"
"Wanyin!" Shi Yubai looked at her with some surprise. "Shouldn't you still be in the secret realm at this time?"
Jiang Wanyin snorted, "If I don't come out soon, will I have to die again in another story?"
She muttered to herself, quite dissatisfied, "That popular novel that's all the rage in the mortal world now, I wonder who wrote it. I've only lived through your memories the whole time!"
Cheng Minxi comforted her, "At least you're still in your memories. Some people in stories have died and come back to life, and even been stabbed multiple times by the person they love most."
Fu Yunyao: ? "Click on me?"
"Just kidding." Cheng Minxi laughed. "Now that Wanyin is back, we can start preparing the ingredients."
Looking at the ingredients scattered on the ground, Jiang Wanyin exclaimed in surprise, "Did some of you learn to cook while I was in the secret realm?"
“Of course…” Su Fuying said with a smile, “No.”
As for Shi Yubai, who kept protesting and claiming that he had really learned it, no one believed him at all.
Jiang Wanyin paused for a moment, then pointed to the things on the ground, "So, how did you get the confidence to buy this pile of ingredients that haven't been processed at all?"
Cheng Minxi replied, "To get together, we need to have something to show for it."
"With this time, can't we find a teahouse?"
"That's right."
...
The meal was successfully completed under Jiang Wanyin's direction.
Moonlight streamed down in the courtyard, and the campfire flickered.
Fu Yunyao, holding a wine bowl, sat to one side, quietly listening to Jiang Wanyin recount her experiences in the secret realm.
"Although that secret realm is indeed dangerous, who am I? A genius who cultivates both formations and magic. A secret realm is nothing to me."
As she said this, her eyes were full of smugness.
"You've only talked about me, what about you guys?"
“My master and Sect Leader Qingwu intend to groom us to succeed as sect leaders. These days, we are often kept within the sect to learn how to handle sect affairs,” Su Fuying said softly, then pointed to Shi Yubai and Cheng Minxi, who were completely drunk across from her.
"The two of them, unwilling to be confined, traveled the world together, and lived a remarkably carefree life..."
A gentle evening breeze swept by, and Fu Yunyao squinted, only to find herself staring at the white figure leaning against the courtyard gate.
Fu Yusheng arrived at some unknown time and did not speak. He leaned against the courtyard gate and looked at Fu Yunyao, who was clearly drunk in the courtyard. She shook her head. Although she was already drunk, she couldn't help but take a sip of the wine in her bowl.
When she looked up at her, her eyes were filled with tears from intoxication.
The breeze stopped, and Fu Yusheng walked up to her, bending slightly to look her in the eye, his eyes shimmering. "Drunk?"
Fu Yunyao remained silent, only staring at his face.
"Are you really drunk?" Fu Yusheng flicked his fingers and tucked a strand of her wind-blown hair behind her ear.
Fu Yunyao shook her head and murmured, "Fu Yusheng."
"Yes, I'm here," he replied.
