"There are so many of us here, yet someone is still so interested in listening to what we have to say …"
The skeletal man chuckled and wiped away the blood stain at the corner of his lips. He stood up slowly and picked up a ladle of water to rinse his mouth carefully. Then, he walked back to sit down and said with a chuckle, "Of course it's me. It's me."
"Don't you never show your face?" Ling Xiaozui asked, "Why have you appeared before us in your true form this time? There must be a reason behind this! "
The skeletal man chuckled humorlessly. "It can be said that there is a reason behind this or that the world is unpredictable. It's a long story, but since I've appeared before you and Dugu Chou, of course, I'm looking for both of you to help me."
Dugu Chou's expression turned serious as well. "May I ask what it is?"
To be able to make this person run out to seek help and seek out both Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui, two of the world's acknowledged Unrivaled Experts, at the same time, one could imagine that this matter was anything but simple!
"There's no hurry to ask for the both of your help. There's still room for it."
The skeletal man said, "The most pressing matter now is to ask for Feng Xiange's help. I wanted to look for Cheng Jishi, but it's a pity that even I can't find him. Luckily, Feng Xiange can fulfill my wish as well."
Feng Xiange chuckled and said, "What do you mean by that? Your initial intention is to seek Cheng Jishi, but your ultimate goal is to concoct the medicine. If I were to concoct the medicine, would you dare take it? "
Feng Xiange was the god of wine, not the god of medicine. Finding a winemaker to concoct the medicine required the consumer to think carefully!
Although Feng Xiange was a renowned physician, he was the 'Phantom Physician of Wine' and not the real 'Divine Physician'.
The skeletal man said, "If it were Cheng Jishi, of course, I would need to concoct the medicine. However, I said that you, Feng Xiange, can fulfill my wish as well because I only need you to concoct the wine for me."
His expression turned unprecedentedly serious as he said, "I remember it clearly. There was a rumor back then that you were researching the Soulless Wine of Three Lives?"
Feng Xiange's expression changed as he uttered word by word, "Why would you want to drink that wine?"
The skeletal man sighed. "Someone planted a spirit of poison in me. I had no choice but to take the risk."
"Poison Spirit!"
The three of them were shocked once again when they heard this, and they were no longer as calm and composed as before.
More than ninety-nine percent of the people in this world had never heard of these two words, but Feng Xiange and the other two were exceptions.
Not only had they heard of it, not only did they know about it, but they also fully understood how terrifying it was!
This guy in front of him had a Poison Spirit planted in him, and yet he was still sitting here alive and kicking. It was a miracle.
Of course, taking into account this person's status, strength, background, and resources, nothing could harm him. Even if he was harmed by the Poison Spirit, he would still be able to make the best use of it!
"Otherwise, do you think I would look like this …" The skeletal man sighed. "I was also very handsome in the past, not to mention that the little guy just now wasn't bad either … Hmm, even if he was bad, it wouldn't be by much …"
"But the attribute of the Poison Spirit is mystical. There's really no cure. Even with the Soulless Wine of Three Lives, it can only let you and the Poison Spirit perish together. It can't really cure you, so how can it help?"
Feng Xiange said, "What's more, the wine is harmful to nature … After the poisoned person dies, the body will stiffen, invulnerable to weapons, water, and fire. Even if the body is placed on a high mountain and the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is used to dispel the evil, it can only last for ten years at most. After ten years, the entire mountain will turn into a wasteland! The Qi of the earth won't recover even after ten thousand years! And in these ten thousand years, anyone who passes through this mountain will suffer varying degrees of poison damage! "
"Until this mountain turns into a true poisonous mountain!"
"Yet, you want to drink this wine …"
"The Soulless Wine of Three Lives … doesn't belong in this world at all." Feng Xiange said, "Although I know the brewing method, I dare not try it. If I were to do it myself, I'm afraid I'd be poisoned to death before the wine is made! "
The skeletal person said, "You know who I am, so of course you should know that what I say is true. It will come true."
"As long as you're willing to help, I have a way to help you brew this wine," said the skeletal person.
"What if I refuse to help?" Feng Xiange's gaze was icy as he asked menacingly.
"You don't have to put on airs in front of me. You'll definitely help me. If you're not willing to help, I won't come to you. "The skeletal person smiled.
Feng Xiange's cold demeanor vanished as he groaned in pain, "I really can't deal with a monster like you! Why did I come to Tiantang City? Why can't I be tempted? "
Dugu Chou's gaze was strange as he said, "Since you know everything, how can you be manipulated like this? Is it inevitable that fate plays tricks on people? "
The skeletal person chuckled. "Yes, it's inevitable. Didn't you already know that your wife can't be with you forever back then? Why do you still want to get involved?"
Dugu Chou's face suddenly turned green.
Fortunately, the skeleton-like person continued, "Dugu, this is a predestined fate! No one can avoid this fate, it's the same for you and me! "
"I can't avoid it, I can't abandon it, I can't leave it, I can't live, I can't die, I can't cry …" The skeletal person heaved a long sigh.
The other three sighed at the same time as well.
It was only a few dozen words, but it was enough to fill one's heart with endless emotions.
Especially when one had reached their level, listening to these words filled their hearts with mixed emotions.
"After talking about me, let's talk about the rest of you. Today's meeting is a fortuitous encounter, so I should give you a few words of advice." The skeletal person looked at Ling Xiaozui and said, "Ling Xiaozui, I've come with a request. There's something I need to do, but you can't do it alone."
Ling Xiaozui nodded with a bitter smile.
The skeletal person looked at Dugu Chou and said, "Old Dugu, you too. You've come with a request as well, so you need someone's help even more."
Dugu Chou nodded faintly.
"As for you, Feng Xiange, you're not here to find trouble with Supreme Cloud," the skeletal person turned to look at Feng Xiange and said, "You've come with a request as well, so you need help."
Feng Xiange seemed to want to say something, but the words did not leave his lips. He sighed and lowered his head.
"There's no need to sigh. I'm just the pot calling the kettle black. I've come with a request as well."
The skeletal person chuckled and recited slowly like a song, "Life is full of hardships, who can have no requests?"
The muscles on Dugu Chou's face twitched suddenly. Gritting his teeth, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, drinking it all in one gulp.
This was because the two lines that the skeletal person had said were the opening lines of a song.
This song was called "I Have a Request", and it corresponded to everyone's concerns.
Back then, Dugu Chou's wife had loved to sing this song the most.
Now that he heard someone sing it again, Dugu Chou felt a sourness in his heart, like the crashing waves of the ocean. For a moment, a multitude of emotions welled up within him, the bitterness indescribable.
"Life is full of hardships … Who can have no requests …" Dugu Chou chuckled, tapping his chopsticks against his wine bowl as he sang along.
"Life is full of hardships, who can have no worries …"
"Looking at success and failure, the world turns white …"
"Drinking a cup of bitter wine, the years flow east …"
"Sighing at the chaos of the world, love has its end …"
"Crying, a general, a marquis is but a mound …"
"Calling me brother, when did we turn against each other …"
"Looking at the road ahead under your feet, when did your hand disappear from my palm …"
"Who can have no requests … Who can have no worries …"
"I have a request, I ask that beauties never grow old, and heroes never worry …"
"I have a request, I ask that the world is full of flowers …"
"I have a request, I ask that I stay with you for all eternity …"
"I have a request, I ask that the world's love never changes …"
"You and I depend on each other, until, a thousand years later …"
