He tossed the young man's head to Su Ming's side, and Five Hundred let out a low growl. Xu Hui could not understand it, but the other four white dogs did.
"I'm also a Dao Paragon!" Five Hundred said.
"I'm also a Dao Paragon!"
"Darn it all, you're all Dao Paragons, but am I not?!" The five white dogs whined a few times and lay down beside Su Ming to fiddle with the young man's head.
Xu Hui sucked in a sharp breath. Her face turned even paler, and when she looked at Su Ming, there was indescribable terror in her eyes. This made her feel as if she had been chased to the point of death, but Su Ming had dealt with it so easily. More importantly, he had not even attacked. The white dogs alone had done everything.
It was especially so for the four old men who had appeared around the young man. Xu Hui could clearly tell that they were the four sect elders of Cloud Sieve Sect. Their levels of cultivation were practically monstrous, and they had surpassed Dao Divinity Realm in Avacaniya Realm!
As for their specific cultivation levels, Xu Hui didn't know, but in her opinion, the four old men were like the heavens. If she knew that the four of them had been there all along, she would have lost the strength to even escape. Obviously, the four of them were protecting the young man and wouldn't appear because of what happened here.
Yet powerful warriors like them had been easily torn apart by the white dogs beside the person before her. Their bodies and souls had been destroyed, causing indescribable terror to fill Xu Hui's heart.
"Se … Senior …" Xu Hui shuddered. When she spoke, she noticed that she had regained her mobility.
Su Ming sat quietly on the mountain rock. When he lifted his right hand, a few pots of wine appeared in front of him. He had prepared them when he was with the old man. Once he brought them out, he lifted his head and looked at the woman whose face was the exact same as the one in his memories.
"Drink." Su Ming picked up a pot of wine and stared at the woman before him in a daze before he took a big swig.
Xu Hui's face was pale. Su Ming's stare made her skin crawl. The level of cultivation of the senior before her was so high that he was the strongest person she had ever seen in her life … but she found his personality to be incredibly strange. He actually asked her to drink.
Furthermore, this senior's eyes seemed to contain a trace of sorrow. That sorrow seemed to be looking at her, but thinking of someone else. Xu Hui gritted her teeth, picked up the wine jar, and took a sip.
Xu Hui's pale face immediately became a little rosier. She put down the jar of wine and hurriedly said, "It's fine.
"Senior, I can't drink too much, I …"
"Drink!" Su Ming looked at Xu Hui and smiled. He picked up the pot of wine and took another big swig from it.
"Dammit, dammit! He might be a member of the senior generation, and he might have a profound cultivation base, and he might be handsome, but he's still an eccentric. He, he, he... could it be that he's going to get me drunk, and then... use me as a cultivation vessel?!" Although she was torn, she didn't dare to refuse to drink. Forcing a smile, she gritted her teeth and took a long swig.
Xu Hui instantly felt a little dizzy. She might have plenty of thoughts when she practiced Dao, but she had never drunk any wine before. At that moment, she instinctively wanted to circulate her cultivation base, but when she saw that Su Ming did not do so, she was worried that if she did so, it would bring out his strange personality. As she struggled with her emotions, a pitiful look appeared on her face.
Su Ming also took a big swig. With the pot of wine in hand, he stared at Xu Hui. The scenes of him drinking with her in Divine Essence Star Ocean appeared before his eyes.
At that time, his level of cultivation had not reached his current level of cultivation. His understanding of the world was still vague, and he was still struggling against it. Yet when he looked at it right then, he found himself to be very happy at that time, because everything around him was still around. It was just that there was a distance between them, but now …
Su Ming lowered his head, and anguish due to nostalgia appeared in his eyes. He picked up the pot of wine and drank it again.
"Xu Hui, this time, I won't go back on my word …" he mumbled.
Su Ming's voice was soft, and Xu Hui, who was conflicted, could not hear him. She held the pot of wine in her hands, but she did not know whether she should put it down or not. An urge to throw caution to the wind gradually rose in her heart. Just as she was about to tell Su Ming loudly that she did not know how to drink, she suddenly saw the five white dogs fiddling with human heads. When she saw them, the courage in her heart instantly disappeared. She had a vague feeling that if she refused to drink, then in just a moment, the five dogs would be fiddling with two human heads.
When she thought of this, grief and indignation rose in Xu Hui's heart. She picked up the pot of wine and took a big swig from it.
When she finished drinking, she had just put down the pot of wine when she suddenly noticed that Su Ming seemed to have swayed a little, as if he could not handle the alcohol. This discovery immediately caused a thought to appear in Xu Hui's eyes, and she became excited.
'Heh heh, I'm going to throw caution to the wind!' With that thought in her heart, a seductive look appeared in her eyes, and she picked up the pot of wine to bring it to Su Ming.
"Thank you for saving my life, senior. Here's a toast to you!" Once Xu Hui said those words, she took a big swig, and her cheeks turned even redder. Su Ming stared at her, and as if he was looking at the past, he quietly drank.
"Senior, it's fate that we met. Come, let's drink again!"
"Senior, I still have to thank you for saving my life. Let's drink again!"
"Senior, thank you for saving my life once again!"
"Senior, gulp … I won't say anything else. Let's drink!"
"Senior, I still don't know your name?"
The two of them drank mouthful after mouthful, and the four pots of wine were gradually emptied by the two of them. Xu Hui was already drunk, but she found that the drunker she was, the more she drank. Instead, this senior who seemed to harbor ill intentions and had a strange personality became even more drunk than her as he drank.
At that moment, she immediately gained confidence. When Su Ming brought out another four pots of wine, the two of them started drinking again. When the sky gradually turned dark and the stars filled the night sky, Xu Hui looked at Su Ming with a foolish smile on her face.
"Drink! Why aren't you drinking anymore?!"
Su Ming was drunk. He had never been able to handle alcohol, and he did not want to use his cultivation base to get rid of it. This time, he wanted to get drunk, and he did not want to act shamelessly. Under the moonlight, he stared at Xu Hui, and his vision became blurry, causing him to be unable to tell whether he was in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence or Ancient Zang.
"I'll drink. I didn't drink last time. Xu Hui, this time … I'll drink with you," Su Ming mumbled. He picked up the pot of wine and drank a huge mouthful. Only at that moment did Xu Hui gradually become certain that the strange senior in front of her had definitely mistaken her for someone else.
However, she was curious as to why this senior called Su Ming would say her name.
"Could it be that his old friend is also called Xu Hui?" she asked softly with a hint of drunkenness in her eyes.
"That's right. Last time, you didn't drink with me. I was alone, but you acted shamelessly. This time, you must get drunk."
When Su Ming heard this, he laughed.
"Dijiu Mo Sha, bring me wine!" Su Ming said loudly with a smile, but no one answered him. This mountain was not the mountain of Barren Lands of Divine Essence, and there was … no one called Dijiu Mo Sha here.
Su Ming was silent, then shook his head in anguish. He brought out a few pots of wine, and when he placed them by the side, he sighed softly.
"If only life could last as long as we first met …" This time, Xu Hui heard his soft murmur. When she heard it, she looked at the senior who had a strange personality in her eyes. She saw grief in Su Ming's eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the past. She suddenly felt that the senior before her did not have any ill intentions. He had only felt sentimental when he saw her and found that she was similar to an old friend of his, which was why he had brought her the wine.
Perhaps there had been a period of time in the past when the woman who was similar to her had also drunk wine with him under the night sky on this mountain. At that time … he had acted shamelessly. He did not drink too much.
At that time, there might have been a person called Dijiu Mo Sha by his side, which was why he had said those words.
Xu Hui stared at Su Ming. She gradually felt that he was very pitiful, and she sighed softly.
'He saved my life, so I will go and be … his old friend.' When she thought of this, when she looked at Su Ming again, a gentle look appeared in her eyes.
"Su Ming …" she said softly.
When she spoke, Su Ming's hand, which had picked up the pot of wine in anguish, came to an abrupt halt, and he stared at Xu Hui in a daze.
"Don't always remember the past, alright …" Xu Hui said softly and stared at Su Ming gently.
Su Ming stared at her. During that instant, he had a feeling that he could no longer distinguish the person before him. He slowly lifted his hand and touched the woman's face.
"Last time, you didn't finish drinking with me. This time, you did it. Don't always make yourself sad in your memories. If you do … I will be sad as well …" Xu Hui stared at Su Ming. When she spoke those gentle words, she did not know why, but her heart suddenly ached. It was a stab of pain, and it was the first time in her life that she felt this way.
Su Ming's hand swept past Xu Hui's face, and when it fell, he closed his eyes.
Time trickled by. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Su Ming opened his eyes. He stared at Xu Hui, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you, but you … are not her."
Xu Hui bit her bottom lip. She had originally wanted to pretend to be Su Ming's old friend, but now that he had woken up, for some unknown reason, the stab of pain in her heart became even stronger.
"I …" Xu Hui opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she did not know where to start.
"Thank you for drinking with me … Where is the Cloud Sifting Sect? Take me there. I'll help you get rid of any future problems, "Su Ming said softly as he stood up slowly.
Xu Hui stood up unsteadily. When Su Ming looked over, he lifted his right hand, intending to help her get rid of the drunkenness, but she took a few steps back and shook her head.
"Cloud Sieve Sect is about seven days to the south …" Once she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and her body went limp. She fell to the ground.
The third chapter was delivered, and he continued writing the fourth chapter. Besides this month, he had practically never updated to the fourth chapter this year. He was not used to this month, and the number of cigarettes he smoked increased. The day before, he saw that he could only smoke three packs a day … That was terrifying. Today, he had already used up two packs. Ah … it was usually fine, but once he started smoking, the number of cigarettes increased without his knowledge.
