Hearing a loud lion’s roar, Hua Qian Gu felt the voice was familiar, before she realized what was happening, she saw a man with blond hair appear before them, even his beard was golden, his eyes large like two bells staring at her.
“Luo……Luo……” Hua Qian Gu jumped back in shock. After seeing clearly who it was, she was so delighted. It was Lang gege’s teacher Luo He Dong.
Luo He Dong laughed out loud, his large rough hands reached out to pinch her face. “Naughty doll, it turned out you are so cute.”
Hua Qian Gu did not know whether to laugh or cry, allowing him to knead her face like a piece of dough.
Bai Zi Hua quietly stepped in front of her: “Immortal Luo He Dong, it has been a long time since we last met.”
Luo He Dong angrily pulled back his hands and snorted: “Yeah, it’s been a long time. Old man Bai, you’re really lucky, I sent this girl to become Taoist priest Qing Xu’s disciple, how did she fall into your hands? Dammit, I regret it now, if I knew this I’d have accepted her as my disciple, the honor of taking back so many holy instruments wouldn’t go to your Mount Chang Liu. I’ve wanted the Kun Lun Mirror for a long time so that I can go everywhere I want, even peeping at fairies while taking a bath would be just a piece of cake. How about this, can you lend it to me?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Luo He Dong screamed loudly, pulling a cheery out of his buttocks.
Damn the Four Fairies, Luo He Dong inwardly cursed them. He knew he should not have attended this bullshit Immortal Feast. In front of the Jade Emperor and Wangmu Niangniang, those bitches could not do anything except attack him secretly. Wait until the Immortal Feast ended, it would be strange if they did not cut him into eight pieces to feed to the Howling Celestial Dog.
Luo He Dong angrily ate the cherry that he just pulled out, looking around at the stunned crowd staring at them.
The peach was flesh, his buttock was also flesh, good food should not go to waste.
Bai Zi Hua coughed lightly two times, he has learned to ignore this man a long time ago.
Luo He Dong sighed: “I knew this kid is capable, it’s just that her fate isn’t good. I didn’t know she turned her life around and became the sect leader of Mount Mao, and even got old man Bai Zi Hua to break tradition and accept her as a disciple! Speaking of this, a girl disciple is likable, lovely, sensible, and obedient. Not like my brat disciple, not only arrogant but lacks ambition, always arguing with me. Old man Bai, I’m really jealous of you!”
Then he turned around and shouted: “Damn bastard, why aren’t you rolling over here yet! The Hua Hua little sister that you have been thinking of every day and night is finally here, didn’t you pester me to take you to the Immortal Feast so you can see her. I’d never come here if it weren’t for you!”
Hua Qian Gu was joyful when she heard this, looking up, it was really Xuan Yuan Lang.
Although he was attending the Immortal Feast as Luo He Dong’s disciple, he sat on the honored seat because of his special status.
He is dressed in purple, with a white waistband and high collar, looking like an immortal from a lofty mountain. Compared to the last time she saw him, he appeared nobler now. Xuan Yuan Lang looked at Hua Qian Gu from afar, smiling gently, but still couldn’t hide his imperial aura. More divine than others, shining brightly. Everyone was amazed, this was the Emperor of the human realm.
Hua Qian Gu followed Bai Zi Hua, sitting down at a table next to Xuan Yuan Lang. Still the same Immortal Feast under the same peach tree, but it seemed like everything had changed.
The complicated ritual could not be avoided, there was the part when the Jade Emperor and Wangmu Niangniang praised her, and the greetings from the immortals. It seemed everyone was surprised to learn Bai Zi Hua had accepted her as his disciple.
Bai Zi Hua did not like to socialize and spoke little, mostly nodding lightly. Hua Qian Gu kept on drinking tea to replace the wine and drank one cup
After another.
The Immortal Feast had many events, immortals went on the stage to perform, reciting poetry, playing music, or singing in front of Jade lake, other immortals chatted happily, exchanged battle strategies, played checkers, falling unconscious from being drunk. The Immortal Feast would usually last for several days, everyone only left when there was nothing else to do. When Hua Qian Gu sneaked inside previously, which was the shortest feast that only lasted for half a day, everyone left with a bitter taste in their mouths knowing the holy instrument was stolen from Mount Mao. This time, the holy instruments had been recovered, the immortals did not have to worry, and the banquet was filled with cheerful chatters and laughter.
Hua Qian Gu saw this and felt amused, but her focus quickly shifted to eating, competing with Tang Bao to see who could eat more. Xuan Yuan Lang sat to her left and continued to smile at Hua Qian Gu as he stared dearly at her devouring her food, occasionally saying a few words, she was like a breeze passing softly through his heart.
Tang Bao’s ears could not take in anything, its focus was on worming its way inside a peach. It still remembered it didn’t have a chance to eat any peaches last time, it already burrowed itself into a peach, crawling throughout the peach, quickly destroying half of the peaches on the table.
Hua Qian Gu turned to look at Bai Zi Hua, he was drinking wine and talking to Luo He Dong and High Immortal Dong Hua, his face still cold like always. The Worry-Free wine in the glass cups, its fragrance lingered in the air, and the taste was icy. The wine reflected the peach blossom petals around Bai Zi Hua, and seemed to create a mirage of colorful clouds. Although he was cold and distant, he made Hua Qian Gu feel warm. Hua Qian Gu looked up at the ancient peach tree, remembering how she had fallen down last time.
The peach blossoms fluttered in the wind, one petal falling into Bai Zi Hua’s cup. She was startled, grabbing onto Bai Zi Hua’s sleeve to prevent him from finishing his drink.
Bai Zi Hua stopped and looked at Hua Qian Gu, who was staring at him in a daze.
“Xiao Gu?”
Hua Qian Gu was stunned for a moment, she reacted and acted like a spoiled child: “Shifu, can I have a sip?”
Bai Zi Hua looked down at the cup in his hand: “Can you drink wine?”
“It’s fine, I’ll only take a small sip, I won’t be drunk.”
Bai Zi Hua nodded. As he was about to pour another cup for her, she quickly grabbed his cup, swallowing the wine in one gulp.
“Xiao Gu?”
Her white face was quickly covered in a pink cloud. Her gaze was like the fog, staring straight at Bai Zi Hua.
The peach blossom petal in the cup stuck to her lips, and her red face became more lovely under the peach tree. She stuck out her tongue, lightly licking the petal. Then she laughed innocently at Bai Zi Hua. The flowers were in a full-bloomed, tempestuous storm.
Bai Zi Hua hastily looked down and saw her white fingers holding the glass cup, the wine was as bright as jade, gleaming brilliantly stabbing his eyes.
The fire-stone happened only for a moment, everything returned to normal like before.
“Xiao Gu? Are you all right?” Bai Zi Hua took hold of her limp body.
Hua Qian Gu leaned lightly on his arm, the fragrance of the peach blossoms mixed with the fragrance of the green grass, this was Shifu’s scent, the unidentifiable scent carried by the wind, embedded into her heart. This was the scent of happiness. She suddenly wanted to always be drunk like this, being embraced in his arms and never waking up.
A voice in her head continued to remind her, do not fall asleep, do not be greedy, do not sink into this…… This is not a place you should stay, the price was too high to pay.
She tried standing up, smiling foolishly: “Shifu, I’m fine, look, don’t I look fine? I’m actually a good drinker. However…… right now I have to go to the bathroom. Hahaha!” She said this then turned and drunkenly walked away from the feast.
“Xiao Gu?” Bai Zi Hua stood up worriedly, but it was not proper for him to follow her.
Xuan Yuan Lang said: “Zun Shang, don’t worry, I’ll go after her.”
“Hahaha, jerk, quickly go, but don’t peep at her! Don’t just learn all your Shifu’s bad habits and not the good habits!”
Xuan Yuan Lang looked at the drunk Luo He Dong and shook his head helplessly, he then took off after Hua Qian Gu. Tang Bao was still preoccupied with creating holes inside the peach.
Bai Zi Hua sat down again, looking at the glass cup Hua Qian Gu just used, allowing Luo He Dong to fill it with wine then drunk all of it in one gulp, not knowing why the taste seemed to be different now.
Xuan Yuan Lang walked around and finally found Hua Qian Gu in the peach forest nearby, it turned out she climbed on a tree.
While sitting on a branch, Hua Qian G’s hands were holding a giant peach, it was so big that her two hands barely held onto it as she exerted all her strength gnawing it. She had taken off her socks and shoes and left them under the tree, her barefoot swinging in the air.
“Silly girl, you’re drunk with only one sip?”
“I’m not.”
Hua Qian Gu continued to eat the peach. She saw Xuan Yuan Lang walking over, using his hands to dust off her small feet, picking up her socks and shoes, and gently putting them on for her.
“Be careful so you won’t catch a cold.”
Hua Qian Gu was surprised, her mouth dropped open, forgetting to swallow the piece of peach in her mouth.
Xuan Yuan Lang at this moment was like Dong Fang Yu Qing, always gentle and elegant, but he had a noble bearing that Dong Fang Yu Qing did not have. The tip of his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes are floating with a long history of the bloodbath of indifference and cold.
Disregard outward appearance, like a single tree out in the forest, lead the country and have the authority above millions of people.
“Lang gege?” Hua Qian Gu tilted her head and called him foolishly as if she did not recognize him, her hands accidentally slipped, and the giant peach dropped down onto Xuan Yuan Lang’s head.
“Ah!”
Xuan Yuan Lang rubbed the growing bump on his head and looked up, returning to his fierce self like the old days.
“Little fellow! How dare you hit me?!” Xuan Yuan Lang grabbed Hua Qian Gu’s legs, pulling her down from the tree and her bottom hit the ground, then laughing without restraint with his arms crossed.
Hua Qian Gu rubbed her bottom, trying to stand up, but struggled to get up and fell again. She finally gave up and sat there unmoved.
Xuan Yuan Lang knocked on her head: “I already said you’re drunk, you’re such a dummy!”
Then he extended his arms to hold her, flying up to sit in the tree.
Hua Qian Gu weakly leaned on his shoulder, her eyelids were fighting to stay open.
“Delicious, delicious food, good drinks!”
Xuan Yuan Lang looked at her flushed cheeks and watery eyes, he could not help but poke hard with his fingers. “You only care about eating and drinking, you’re a pig!”
Hua Qian Gu muttered: “Forgetfulness wine, Forgetfulness wine, the wine that can make us forget our sorrow, can relieve our worries, no wonder many people like to get drunk.”
Xuan Yuan Lang held Hua Qian Gu tightly in his arms, transferring a little of his internal energy to her. “Hang on, hang on to it. If you fall asleep now, you’ll sleep for a long time before you can wake up.”
Hua Qian Gu felt the world was spinning around. Lang gege’s embrace was not the same as Shifu, it was another kind of vastness.
She tried to open her eyes and saw Xuan Yuan Lang’s face turning into Bai Zi Hua. She smiled foolishly.
She whispered: “Shifu….”
Xuan Yuan Lang held her tightly: “Your Shifu is drinking wine with my Shifu.”
“Am I cuter or Tang Bao cuter……”
Xuan Yuan Lang smiled helplessly: “This question is the same as asking if a pig is cuter or a worm is cuter such nonsense……”
“Then why did you smile at Tang Bao but never smiled at me?”
“When did I smile at Tang Bao?” Xuan Yuan Lang was confused.
“Oh, no, Tang Bao was me, I was Tang Bao…… But you were mistaken, that was me, not Tang Bao. I want you to smile at me, not at Xiao Gu as Tang Bao……”
Xuan Yuan Lang’s face darkened: “I don’t know what you’re mumbling about.”
Hua Qian Gu moved restlessly, trying to find a comfortable position she could sleep in his arms: “But you know what? If you like me when I look like Tang Bao, then I don’t want anything else, I only want to be Tang Bao and always be with you……”
Hua Qian Gu’s voice gradually became smaller, stretching a hand to hold tightly onto his waist, slowly falling asleep.
Xuan Yuan Lang pinching her nose, and patting her face: “Hey, Hua piggie, wake up, you can’t fall asleep!” But Hua Qian Gu has already fallen into dreamland with an alluring smile on her face.
Xuan Yuan Lang was bored and played with hair buns and her long eyelashes: “Dead piggie, it’s so hard for us to see each other again, you actually dare to fall asleep. What should I do now? I don’t want to be apart from you anymore, I want to use a rope and tie you with me all the time!”
Xuan Yuan Lang looked lovingly at her, lowering his head, and planting a light kiss on her forehead. He suddenly heard someone coming, looked up and saw it was Bai Zi Hua: “Zun Shang….”
Bai Zi Hua nodded faintly: “Xiao Gu is sleeping?”
“Yes, she’s drunk.” Xuan Yuan Lang courageously looked straight at Bai Zi Hua, he was not embarrassed even if Bai Zi Hua saw what he did just now. It was just that the world was not peaceful yet, it was dangerous for her to be with him. When the six realms have stabilized, he would use the grandest, most extravagant ceremony in the world to ask Bai Zi Hua’s permission to marry Qian Gu.
“Xiao Gu is drunk, I will take her back first. You inform your teacher and Wangmu Niangniang for me.”
“Yes.”
Bai Zi Hua reached out his hands to take Hua Qian Gu. Xuan Yuan Lang was reluctant to let her go, he did not know when he would see her again after this time goodbye.
But seeing Bai Zi Hua’s fathomless and unpredictable gaze staring at him, Xuan Yuan Lang had to let go.
The figure dressed in white was like a breeze that disappeared in a flash. Xuan Yuan Lang stood blankly underneath the tree, his hands still warm from Hua Qian Gu’s body heat.
