Then, the person who ran the gambling den was beaten up by the mob; this is called resentment towards the rich. Xiu Qiyu sighed, thankful that he had restrained himself from betting, otherwise Xiao Yezi would definitely be angry when she woke up and found out he had lost money.
Seeing that the atmosphere among everyone was relatively harmonious, and asking everyone to ignore the group of people fighting, Xiu Qiyu turned and left.
Qingzhiyi dragged the drunken Huarong back home.
As I walked into the courtyard, the snow was still falling from the sky, and a thin layer had already covered the ground. It felt soft and fluffy underfoot, like walking on cotton candy.
Amidst the swirling snowflakes, the snow bamboo seemed to glow, ethereal, pure, and flawless. No wonder the Holy Maiden loved the snow bamboo so much.
Naturally, the red plum blossoms in the snow on the opposite side also have a unique charm. The snowflakes fall on the plum blossoms, the white snow and the red plum blossoms are truly breathtakingly beautiful.
Little Leaf will definitely like it when she wakes up.
So, snow fell all night in Ye Xiruo's courtyard, while in the other courtyards, things remained the same as usual.
Xiu Qiyu returned to his room and saw that Ye Xiruo was sleeping soundly, with even some drool on her pillow. He lifted the covers and went to sleep next to Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiru mumbled something, then immediately put her little paws and arms on Xiu Qiyu's chest and fell fast asleep.
He slept for a very long time, not waking up until almost noon the next day.
Ye Xiruo rubbed her temples. Had she drunk too much last night, especially in front of Brother Xiu Qi? How embarrassing!
She can't remember if she did anything outrageous while drunk. It's really unexpected. Her master and senior brother are both able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, so how come she got drunk after only drinking a little bit of the spiritual wine?
I just can't figure it out.
Just as Ye Xiruo was reflecting on herself and feeling depressed, Xiu Qiyu pushed open the door and entered, carrying a plate in her hand.
"Brother Xiu Qi."
"Little Leaf, are you hungry? Go and eat something."
If you look at the food at night, you'll see that it's chicken porridge, pickled cowpeas, crab roe buns, and crystal shrimp dumplings—all things he likes to eat.
"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Xiuqi."
"Do we need to be so polite between us?"
"It was my fault, let's eat together."
"I've already eaten."
Oh, Xiu Qiyu was sitting across from her, quietly watching Ye Xiruo eat.
Ye Xiruo ate very quickly. This chicken porridge was cooked in chicken broth, the rice was very thick, and it contained some corn, mushrooms, and cilantro. It tasted great.
After dinner, it's time to get back to work.
When Ye Xiruo pushed open the door, she was startled by the pristine white snowfield before her.
Looking at Xiu Qiyu with disbelief, she said, "Brother Xiu Qi, it's snowing! It's snowing! Did you see that? It's really snowing!"
"Yes, it started raining after you fell asleep yesterday, and it rained all night long. The scene was really beautiful."
"Really? Then why didn't you wake me up?"
"You're so drunk you're completely unconscious, wouldn't it be better to just wait until you wake up and enjoy the snow?"
"But the snow has all fallen." However, it had fallen a thick layer, about ten centimeters thick, and the snow bamboo had completely blended with the snow, making it impossible to distinguish where the snow bamboo ended and the snow ended.
The sight of red plum blossoms in the snow was breathtaking, leaving Ye Xiruo utterly awestruck. It was truly beautiful; if it was already this beautiful now, it was unimaginable how beautiful it would be when it actually snowed.
Ye Xiruo ran directly in the snow, extremely excited.
"I never thought it would snow on the Azure Continent. Let's go call Senior Brother and Hua Rong to have a snowball fight and build a snowman."
Xiu Qiyu's expression darkened. He wanted to say that, in fact, only their courtyard had snowed; nothing else had changed.
If only he had let it snow over the whole courtyard last night. Now how is he going to explain this to Xiao Yezi? Is it too late for it to snow now?
"Little Yezi, last night, we all drank together and didn't go to sleep until almost dawn. Senior Brother and the others are probably still sleeping right now."
"Did everyone have a good time last night? Did anything happen?"
"Yes, Xue Gongfeng just smuggled a jar of spirit wine and then disappeared. You have no idea how angry everyone was."
"Hahaha, this is indeed something Master would do. However, Master still has a conscience and only took one jar. Otherwise, Chi Yi and Senior Brother would be crying their eyes out."
That makes sense.
"Anything else?"
"Also, Senior Brother and Red Wing had a drinking contest together."
"How did it go? Senior Brother shouldn't have lost, right?" She was quite convinced of Senior Brother's drinking capacity, which was a true inheritance from Master Jingli.
"We didn't lose, but we didn't win either; it was a draw."
Ye Xiruo's eyes widened: "How could this be?" Is Chiyi really that good at drinking? I really can't believe it. Even the senior brother only managed a draw.
"That's not the funniest thing. The funniest thing is that someone started a betting pool, betting on who would have the last laugh, and they all lost badly."
"Hahahaha, he's going to make a fortune all by himself."
"That's right, but they were also severely beaten up by the group."
"It's worth it. Wait, did you go and place a bet?"
"Of course I don't have any."
That's more like it. What should we do? The senior brothers are still asleep, and it's no fun playing by myself.
"How about I cook a pot of hangover soup? After everyone wakes up, each person can have a bowl, and they'll be able to get back to normal."
"Okay, Xiao Yezi, you go help in the kitchen first! I'll go check on them."
"Okay, go quickly."
That's great! We haven't been exposed yet. Xiu Qiyu is quite impressed with himself.
Xiu Qiyu went directly to the garden. Centered around the garden, it started snowing. This time, it wasn't the soft, feathery snowflakes of last night, but rather large, dense snowflakes that were definitely noticeable when they hit your face.
Fortunately, most people were asleep at this time. A few people who had just woken up were still a little groggy, and the large snowflakes falling from the sky kept them awake.
They were all martial artists, so they naturally sensed the presence of someone in the snow and ice. Was he practicing or causing trouble? He was probably practicing! After all, Xiu Qiyu seemed to be close to breaking through recently, so he wouldn't be causing trouble for no reason.
Little did they know that Xiu Qiyu was really just bored and causing trouble. The snowflakes, mixed with strong winds, were falling heavier and heavier, covering the entire courtyard in a white expanse, making it impossible to see anything. Xiu Qiyu was also hidden in the swirling snow, and the temperature around him was getting lower and lower.
