This was a woman Su Ming had never met before in terms of personality.
She was usually very elegant with a hint of aloofness, as if she was a noble lady who admired herself. Once she learned that Su Ming had changed her clothes, her expression had only changed for a moment, but it soon returned to normal. Even Su Ming had to think about it carefully before he could tell whether it was real or fake.
But that was nothing. Once she drank the wine, the change in her was so great that it stunned Su Ming.
Xu Hui's voice was very loud, and it reverberated in the area in the morning. Once most of the members of Ninth Tribe heard it, they lifted their heads to look. Dijiu Mo Sha sucked in a sharp breath. He was thankful that he had left quickly just now. He did not expect that the woman would be so fierce when she started drinking.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, good job!" A woman's voice came from Ninth Tribe. There was a cheerful tone in her voice, and once it rang out, other voices immediately echoed in the air.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, you can be said to be a hero among women for being able to drink three pots of our wine!"
"Benefactor, your wife has already drunk three pots, why aren't you drinking?"
"That's right, drink it! Drink three pots!"
"Three pots won't do. That woman has already drunk three pots. Benefactor, you have to drink nine pots!"
"That's right, benefactor, we can't let those women compete with us. Drink nine pots and let them see. Benefactor, drink." Most of the members of Ninth Tribe had learned from Dijiu Mo Sha that Xu Hui was a cultivator from Star Ocean. Su Ming did not hide this, and there was no need for him to lie to them.
Ninth Tribe's gratitude towards Su Ming could be seen from the respect they showed him over the past few days. They were also very concerned about Xu Hui, and with some deductions and Dijiu Mo Sha's words, they already knew that Xu Hui and their benefactor should be a couple, or else why would they be living together …
Su Ming smiled wryly.
A smug look appeared on Xu Hui's face. Once she placed the pot of wine in Su Ming's bosom, she turned around and wrapped her fist in her palm towards the people of Ninth Tribe at the foot of the mountain. She was beautiful to begin with, and now that she was drunk, there was a heroic air to her when she wrapped her fist in her palm.
"Thank you, my friends from the Ninth Tribe. I've drunk too much today, but I can still drink. However, I'm not happy, because I, a woman, drank three jars, while your benefactor only drank half a jar." Xu Hui said loudly.
"One and a half pot …" Just as Su Ming was about to explain, the cheers from Ninth Tribe immediately drowned out his words.
Su Ming shook his head. As he looked at the valiant Xu Hui and the smug look on her face, he gradually smiled. The sadness in his heart disappeared without his knowledge, and the wound that had been formed when he saw Bai Ling with the Malicious Eye was also slowly healing.
'If only life could last as long as we first met …' With a smile on his face, Su Ming stood up and stood under the mountain rock. As the Ninth Tribe members cheered happily, he picked up his pot of wine and brought it to his lips to drink.
Gulping sounds echoed in the air, and before long, Su Ming finished the entire pot of wine. He wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve and let out a long howl towards the sky.
His howl spread in all directions. At that moment, in the morning light, Su Ming looked like a huge dragon looking down on the world on the mountain rock, and he roared at the sky.
When Xu Hui saw him, she started laughing in her drunken stupor. All the members of the Ninth Tribe laughed along with them.
"Another pot!" Su Ming shouted loudly.
Immediately, members of Ninth Tribe quickly brought out more pots of wine and placed them around Su Ming. He picked one up, removed the seal, and poured it into his mouth.
The wine was spicy, and it was as if it had turned into a raging fire in his stomach. Some of it even trickled down the corners of Su Ming's mouth and dyed his hair, giving him a domineering air.
"Again!" Su Ming put down the pot of wine and picked up another one.
The fourth, the fifth, the sixth … When Su Ming drank a total of nine pots, his body swayed, and as he threw his head back and laughed, he fell down with a thud.
He was drunk.
Xu Hui, whose eyes were gradually closing, was also drunk.
Su Ming could get drunk without worry, because the Duke of Crimson Flame's totem was on his arm. His cultivation base clone was drunk, but he still had his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole fused into his body, his Ecang clone guarding everything, and the Malicious Eye watching the area.
That was why he could get drunk, and he needed to get drunk. If there was any danger, his clone could hold them back and buy enough time.
Dijiu Mo Sha stared at Su Ming and Xu Hui, who had fallen down, then shook his head with a smile. He personally carried Su Ming's body, then arranged for a woman in his tribe to carry Xu Hui. Then, he sent the two of them into a house … and placed them on a bed.
Time trickled by. Su Ming and Xu Hui fell asleep in the house on Ninth Tribe's mountain. Su Ming felt as if he was dreaming again.
In his dream, he seemed to see his physical body, Di Tian, and Bai Ling, whose hood had been lifted.
He also saw the battle between the Immortals and Morning Dao Sect in True Morning Dao World. During it, he heard shrill roars as well as the booming sounds of divine abilities. However, they seemed to be very far away from him.
Gradually, those scenes became even further away, but there was a woman's figure in his arms. She was very warm and delicate, and he subconsciously embraced her.
Su Ming forgot about what happened after that.
When the next morning sun shone on the house, Su Ming opened his eyes.
He was first stunned, then when he turned his head to the side to look, he found that he was the only one on the bed. However, he saw a long strand of hair by his side. It was not his hair, but Xu Hui's.
Su Ming rubbed the center of his brows. As he circulated his cultivation base, he instantly woke up. He saw Xu Hui's back turned towards him on the spot where he had previously sat on the mountain rock outside the house. She was looking into the distance.
He could not see Xu Hui's face. He could only see the wind lifting her hair, causing it to dance in the air and draw out beautiful arcs, just like the beautiful curves of her back.
All of this was incredibly beautiful under the sunlight.
Su Ming got up and walked out of the house. The peace over the past few days was one of the few times in his life. There was no danger, no fighting, no death, no shrill screams of pain echoing in his ears. All of this made Su Ming feel as if he had found the life he wanted the most.
In the depths of his heart, he even had a desire to live forever in this peace. However, this desire could not be stopped by the wind. Regardless of whether he was willing or not, it was carried away by the mountain wind without any hesitation.
He had no choice. There were still many things he had yet to complete. There were still many regrets he had yet to make up for. There were still many people and many things … that worried Su Ming, preventing him … from living forever in peace.
"Can you let me see the real you?" Xu Hui did not turn her head around. Her back was still turned towards Su Ming as she asked softly.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his appearance changed swiftly. His cultivation base clone was replaced by his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole, turning into a face that was completely different from Dao Kong's. It was … Su Ming's appearance.
Xu Hui seemed to have noticed something. She slowly turned her head around and stared at Su Ming's face in a daze. Gradually, a smile appeared at the corners of her lips. That smile was incredibly beautiful in the breeze.
"I know you. You are Su Ming, and also Mo Su. You are the person who was placed on the wanted list by the forces of power from the four Great True Worlds a thousand years ago. After that, you appeared once again and caused a ruckus in the area where True Sacred Yin World was stationed, causing a Progenitor who was a Master of Fate and Life to personally come out to hunt you down.
"But in the end … he couldn't kill you. Instead, the bounty on your head disappeared, tacitly acknowledging your existence.
"Su Ming has a great reputation in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. He is the most eye-catching person over the past one thousand years, and he is also the only person in Dao Kong's heart who wanted to subdue him more than Ye Wang.
"I didn't expect that …" Xu Hui shook her head and smiled.
"I didn't expect that you would have such a force of power in Black Ink Planet. You could turn something rotten into something miraculous and Possess Dao Kong in a reversal of fate … Looks like the mastermind behind Black Ink Auction is you!
"You are the master of Black Ink Planet. You control everything in Black Ink Planet, and you even controlled the auction to send out that Sacred Constellation Robe to lure Dao Kong into your trap!
"I'm very curious. How did you manage to Possess Dao Kong without the nine old Frail Darknesses noticing anything? Even the fearless warriors controlled by Dao Kong's soul did not change in the slightest?
"In fact, even the soul seed Progenitor Dao Chen placed between me and Dao Kong did not change in the slightest." If it wasn't because there are too many differences between you and Dao Kong and if it wasn't because we were alone this time, I would only be able to suspect that you are not Dao Kong, "Xu Hui said calmly while looking at Su Ming.
"I also know that there is a mark on Dao Kong's body that prevents direct descendants from being Possessed by others. This mark can attract the attention of the powerful warriors in Morning Dao Sect to ensure that none of our family members will be Possessed.
"But you … how did you avoid it? In fact … the mark is still there. How … did you do it?" Disbelief appeared on Xu Hui's face. This was the source of what she could not understand in the depths of her heart.
"You won't want to know," Su Ming said flatly while sitting on the mountain rock.
"Are you afraid that once I learn of it, I will expose your identity?" Xu Hui suddenly asked.
"It doesn't matter." Su Ming smiled faintly.
Xu Hui fell silent. She knew that he was indeed indifferent, because it did not matter whether it was his blood or his soul. Everything about him told her that he was Dao Kong. In this sort of situation, no matter what she said, it would be useless in the end, and it would not bring her any benefits.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he asked calmly, "What happened last night?"
"You won't want to know!" Xu Hui glared at Su Ming and turned her head away.
Su Ming frowned. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he lowered his head. The sackcloth on his body instantly changed, and once it returned to the appearance of a Sacred Constellation Robe, a vast wave of ripples spread out from within the Sacred Constellation Robe.
Xu Hui quickly turned around with surprise and a solemn expression on her face.
"This is the voice transmission from a direct descendant of Morning Dao Sect!"
Right when Xu Hui finished speaking, a loud bang rang out from Su Ming's body, and a powerful light that surged into the heavens erupted from his body. That powerful light spread out from the Sacred Constellation Robe and filled the entire area. An ancient voice came from within Su Ming's Sacred Constellation Robe.
"Dao Kong … the Immortals rebelled and broke off all relations with Morning Dao Sect … Hurry up and return from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence!" "If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation."
