Chapter 628 Incident
The Spirit Beast Clan's banquet was grand and magnificent, but without any red tape. It was very casual, which was exactly what Yun Qingqing wanted.
The spirit beasts were a little reserved at first. After all, many of the beasts here witnessed the scene where the Beast Master killed the terrifying Yin Dharma Image with one sword. After the news spread, it became more and more exaggerated uncontrollably.
In the end, it even became "The Lord Beast stared at the Yin Dharma Image without changing his expression, and then a bolt of lightning came down and directly smashed it into pieces."
It's outrageous.
In short, the spirit beasts were restrained for a while, but when they found out that their master had a very good temper, their true natures soon showed and they became lively again.
These spirit beasts have lived in the secret realm of the barrier for more than two thousand years. On weekdays, most of them maintain their animal form. Today, they all transformed into human form to attend the banquet for the Lord of Beasts.
However, there are some who are not very skilled at transforming, whose aesthetics are very different from those of humans, and some who appear normal at first but reveal their true form after drinking too much...
The banquet was halfway through, and it was all in chaos and frenzy. In Yun Qingqing's previous life, she had spent her time practicing and fighting. Occasionally, she attended banquets and other occasional events, where she interacted with other practitioners. The rules were more numerous than one another, and this was the first time she had seen such a lively scene.
She found it quite novel and happily toasted with the spirit beasts.
Her attention was always partly on Xiao Changheng, but she saw that he was sitting behind the old desk with a serious and upright look, with a dull expression on his face.
Even though he always had a stern face, he was still extremely handsome, and every move he made was elegant to the core. Yun Qingqing couldn't help but recall everything that happened after they met.
When he still liked me, his eyes were always gentle whenever he faced me, revealing a love that I didn't understand at that time.
A fine and dense stabbing pain rose in my heart again.
This sting has appeared from time to time recently. Yun Qingqing understands that this is the price she has to pay for choosing to keep this relationship. She has always understood that there must be a price to pay for making choices, and she accepts it calmly.
But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If I had realized my feelings earlier, or if there hadn't been that imminent disaster, would I not have ended up in this situation of unrequited love?
But she has always known that there is no such thing as "if" in this world. If time could go back, she would not go back to the time before the calamity to stop herself from severing her ties with him.
She would go back directly to her previous life and completely cut off all possibilities of the evil demon's survival before it rises secretly. At that time, she would not sacrifice herself or be reborn, and naturally she would not meet Xiao Changheng, but she would still make this choice.
So "if" doesn't make sense.
Although it was impossible for him to have any feelings for her anymore, they had a marriage contract and could be together for life. Even after she helped him rebuild his bones, becoming his Taoist partner would be a natural thing. What else could she not be satisfied with?
No matter whether he is a true Taoist partner or just a formality, this person is tied to herself in this life. People who practice cultivation have a very long lifespan, so there is no need to worry that he will only live for a few decades and die sooner or later. Thinking of this, Yun Qingqing couldn't help but pursed her lips and curled the corners of her lips, and her eyebrows also curved slightly.
Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, Xiao Changheng suddenly turned and looked over.
Yun Qingqing felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she quickly looked away, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
But no matter how she tried to hide it, the burning sensation on her face and ears wouldn't go away. She knew her face was too red and suspicious, so in a hurry she simply slowed down the speed at which her body absorbed the alcohol, and even pushed it forward to allow the alcohol to spread faster.
Yun Qingqing's physique has long been immune to external evils, and the alcohol she drinks is digested very quickly, so she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
But now, having advanced two major realms, her control over her body has become more subtle. With this adjustment, she is in a state of being slightly tipsy, and the obvious blush on her face is not abrupt at all.
Yun Qingqing secretly admired her own wit.
But Xiao Changheng stared at her for a moment, his cold brows slightly frowned, he turned his head silently, picked up the wine glass and took a sip without saying a word.
Hmm? Hmm?
Yun Qingqing, who hadn't been tipsy for a thousand years, was very sensitive to his slight displeasure. She stood there in a daze, rubbing her temples, and finally remembered that she had knocked him out yesterday.
Oh, then it makes sense that this person holds a grudge.
The slightly tipsy Yun Qingqing was much more sentimental than usual, not to mention that she still had feelings for Xiao Changheng. She couldn't help but move closer with her wine glass, gently touched Xiao Changheng's arm, and whispered in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I was wrong yesterday. I won't do that again next time. Please don't be angry, my husband."
Under the influence of alcohol, her voice was soft, her little face was flushed with a tender red, and her bright eyes were stained with a little mist. She was softer and cuter than ever before. If those who knew her in the previous life saw this scene, I wonder if they would be shocked.
But Yun Qingqing saw that Xiao Changheng's face suddenly became more gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly. There seemed to be a storm in his eyes, and there was an emotion that she could not understand.
She was just wondering what was wrong with this guy when she saw Xiao Changheng stretch out his big hand to pull her shoulders and straighten her body back up, his voice becoming colder:
"I know. Just drink less."
Yun Qingqing: ...?
She was thinking that this man was extremely angry and was about to say something nice to comfort him, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw Xiao Changheng slam the wine glass on the table and stand up.
Yun Qingqing grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Changheng paused, turned his head and looked at her very coldly, his slightly hoarse voice also seemed to be filled with a hint of anger:
"People have three urgent needs. You won't take care of this too, right?"
Yun Qingqing was stunned. What he said should have made her feel a little embarrassed, but she felt something completely different.
Even if this person was annoyed by me, he never said such words as he did today.
Something is wrong.
She couldn't understand it for a moment, but Xiao Changheng had already impatiently swung his sleeves away from her hand and walked away without looking back.
The stabbing pain in Yun Qingqing's heart became more and more obvious, and she was even more confused and puzzled. She subconsciously lit up her spiritual eyes and looked at his back.
But I found that the light red aura I had seen before was more obvious, almost pink.
And within that destiny, a thin line stretched out, far beyond the banquet hall...
Yun Qingqing turned her head suddenly and saw a charming woman leaning on the seat at the other end of the thin line. Her eyes were full of ripples. She was staring at Xiao Changheng's background without blinking and smiling leisurely.
She watched the woman lower her eyes and stare at something in her palm. She made a hand gesture with her other hand and blew gently into her palm.
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes, picked up the wine glass and drank a large glass of wine, but at the same time she withdrew the spiritual power that was suppressing and dissolving the effects of the alcohol, and she immediately sobered up.
At the same time, the light pink line in the spiritual pupil connecting the woman and Xiao Changheng gradually became thicker.
