Looking at Chen Yuanyuan's gem-like eyes, Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He couldn't help but ask, "Why am I an exception?"
Chen Yuanyuan looked into the distance, and a trace of reminiscence appeared on her face. "In the past, I was forced to drink with others. But this time, I was willing. Don't you think this is an exception?"
"Of course it is." Song Qingshu smiled. "It even makes me feel flattered."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled sweetly. "Since you are flattered, do you have anything to say?"
"What does Madam want me to say?" Song Qingshu asked curiously.
Chen Yuanyuan raised the wine glass in front of her. A trace of slyness flashed in her eyes. "Gongzi is a great hero who is famous in the world. I am just a weak woman who can't drink. If you drink one glass and I drink one glass, isn't it too unfair?"
Looking at her sly and quick-witted eyes, Song Qingshu remembered that the woman in front of him used to be the most beautiful woman in Qinhuai. She was a femme fatale who charmed countless men. He couldn't help but smile. "Does Madam want me to agree to drink one glass and I drink one glass?"
Chen Yuanyuan sighed faintly. "Judging from gongzi's tone, you are obviously unwilling."
Song Qingshu shook his head. "If you didn't say it, I would have taken the initiative. But since you said it, I am not willing to drink like that."
Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Why?"
Song Qingshu filled his own glass and replied, "I treat Madam as a friend. Why does Madam want to use the methods that you used to deal with others to deal with me? It's full of tricks."
Chen Yuanyuan was startled. Then she smiled. "Sure enough, not having used it for many years has caused me to regress. I actually forgot that what men care most about is a woman's different attitude towards him."
Song Qingshu clinked his glass with hers and drank it in one gulp. "Just now, Madam successfully made me feel that feeling of being different. Unfortunately, I later realized that it was just a trick."
Chen Yuanyuan chuckled. "Gongzi deliberately said that you were wronged. Isn't it also a trick?"
Song Qingshu smiled calmly. "Just some words from the bottom of my heart."
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm scared of you," Chen Yuanyuan said coquettishly. "One for you, one for me. Is that okay?"
Unexpectedly, Song Qingshu shook his head in a serious manner. "Madam should punish herself with three cups of wine to show her sincerity."
Chen Yuanyuan's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were sparkling. She looked at him with a faint smile, "When I was in Qinhuai River, I also met a lot of people like you. They tried all kinds of ways to persuade me to drink more. Do you have the same idea as those men?"
Previously, when he saw Chen Yuanyuan, she had always been clean and focused on her cultivation. Now, seeing her smiling and talking sweetly, but dealing with the situation flawlessly, Song Qingshu felt as if he had seen the beauty that could turn all living things upside down in the past.
"Some men persuade a woman to drink more because they want her to get drunk so that they can take advantage of her. Some men persuade a woman to drink because they want her to let down her strong guard, completely relax, and open up to communicate like a real friend. Which kind do you think I am?" Song Qingshu gently shook the wine cup in his hand and looked at her quietly.
Hearing his words, Chen Yuanyuan was slightly stunned as if something touched her heart. But she quickly recovered. "Although I don't know which kind you are, I know you are a cunning man."
"Thank you for the compliment." Song Qingshu didn't feel offended. Instead, he smiled happily.
"Since you regard me as a friend, then I will drink with you as a friend." Chen Yuanyuan had just come out of the palace. She only felt that her future was blank. She also needed to drink some wine to relieve some pressure. As for getting drunk and being taken advantage of … Which woman from Qinhuai River didn't have a great capacity? Although she usually didn't show off, her capacity for alcohol was definitely above average.
Next, the two of them drank one glass after another. Although the conversation between the two of them was full of vigilance and probing at the beginning, after they really started drinking, the two of them seemed to have let down their guard. Song QingShu was thinking about Huang Rong's pregnancy, and his heart was filled with all kinds of emotions, so he drank one glass after another like drinking water. Chen Yuanyuan, on the other hand, suddenly thought of the first half of her life where she wandered from place to place. Her life was filled with sadness, and coupled with the fear of the unpredictable future, she would drink with Song QingShu every time he raised his glass.
After who knew how long, Song Qingshu suddenly turned around and saw Chen Yuanyuan's delicate and beautiful face. Her eyes were also watery, with a trace of a blurred luster. He couldn't help but sigh. "You are really beautiful."
Although she had heard too many similar praises, now hearing Song Qingshu's sigh from the bottom of his heart, Chen Yuanyuan was still very happy. But not long after, she suddenly thought of her age, and her expression suddenly became gloomy. "It's a pity that I can't resist the power of time. No matter how beautiful I am, I will age in a few years and eventually become a pink skeleton."
Feeling the decline in her tone, Song Qingshu also couldn't help but sigh. "Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, not allowed to see their white hair in the world." In his previous life, Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin were so stunning when they were young. They were recognized as the two most beautiful women in the history of Hong Kong. It could be said that they were at the level of femme fatale. Unfortunately, as they grew older, they were no longer beautiful.
Now, although Chen Yuanyuan was still stunning, it was obvious that she had reached the end of her peak. In another ten years, no, maybe in another five years, her beauty would greatly decline.
Song QingShu's heart ached when he thought of the scene of a beauty past her prime. Beautiful things were gifts from the heavens, works of art in the human world. It was too cruel to watch such works of art being destroyed before his eyes.
In his previous life, Song Qingshu could only watch helplessly as the two great beauties Li and Guan Zhilin lost to time. But in this world, he suddenly realized that he was not helpless.
"Madam, do you want to maintain your beauty and youth forever?" Song Qingshu suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a burning gaze.
Who knew that Chen Yuanyuan didn't have the slightest bit of excitement. She only smiled lightly. "Eternal beauty and youth only exist in legends. Why does young master even believe in this?"
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Immortality is indeed impossible, but eternal youth is not necessarily."
Chen Yuanyuan smiled faintly. "I've been studying Buddhist scriptures these years, and I've also understood the principle of beauty. I've also become less concerned about my appearance. Moreover, all my misfortunes in this life are caused by this appearance. It may not be a bad thing for me to grow old and lose my beauty in the future.
"Is that so?" Song Qingshu looked at her strangely. "Madam, why do you have to say one thing and mean another? The reason why you are so indifferent is because you know that you can't maintain your youth forever. That's why you are deliberately comforting yourself."
Before Chen Yuanyuan could refute, Song Qingshu continued to ask, "Madam, have you heard of Misty Peak's Spirit Vulture Palace's Heavenly Mountain Tonglao?"
"Heavenly Mountain Tonglao?" Chen Yuanyuan shook her head blankly. "This name is so strange."
"This Heavenly Mountain Tonglao is over ninety years old." Song Qingshu smiled. "Madam, do you know why she is called Tonglao?"
Seeing that he was deliberately showing off, Chen Yuanyuan softly said, "Young master, don't keep me in suspense ~"
Seeing that she was acting like a spoiled little girl, Song Qingshu's bones softened. He hurriedly replied, "The reason why she has this nickname is because although she is over ninety years old, her appearance is similar to that of a teenage girl. That's why she is called Tonglao."
"How is that possible?" Chen Yuanyuan's red lips were slightly agape. Her face was full of disbelief. Indeed, in the mind of a normal person, how could a ninety year old woman look like a teenager?
"That's the truth." Song QingShu shrugged. "Heavenly Mountain Tonglao practiced a miraculous technique. It's extremely powerful, and it can slow down the speed of the practitioner's aging. At the same time, it can rejuvenate once every thirty years."
"Rejuvenate?" Chen Yuanyuan covered her mouth. Clearly, this sounded like a fantasy to her.
"This is actually a side effect of this technique. It's similar to Qi deviation. However, in my opinion, this side effect is much more meaningful than the martial arts itself." Song Qingshu could not help but think of the words' legal loli '.
"That's right. If this is true, then all the women in the world would probably go crazy for it." Chen Yuanyuan nodded subconsciously. If she knew the indescribable thoughts in his mind, she would probably not agree so much.
"Of course it's true. I also know that technique." Song Qingshu said proudly.
Although she knew, Chen Yuanyuan subconsciously distanced herself from him. With a strange expression, she asked, "You're not … you're also over ninety years old?"
Song Qingshu almost fell down. He replied angrily, "More than that. I'm already a hundred years old. Little girl, be good. Quickly call me uncle."
Chen Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat at his strange tone. It was as if there was really an old pervert standing in front of her seducing her. She could not help but blush and spit, "Bah, you're so impolite." At this point, how could she not know that he was deliberately teasing her.
"That divine technique is called the 'Eternal Youth Art'." Song Qingshu paused and looked at her with a burning gaze. "Madam, do you want to learn it?"
Chen Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. Although she wanted to say no, when she heard the words' eternal youth ', her heartbeat sped up. After all, no woman could resist the temptation of eternal youth. After hesitating several times, she finally squeezed out a word in a low voice, "Yes …" After saying that, her face flushed with embarrassment. Just a moment ago, she was still speaking righteously about the pink skeleton. She did not expect that she would be exposed so quickly.
Song Qingshu said hesitantly, "But there's a very important problem. This martial art is too profound. Even an expert of Nan Murong's level doesn't have the qualifications to practice it. Forcefully practicing it will only lead to qi deviation and severed meridians."
"Ah?" The excitement on Chen Yuanyuan's face instantly disappeared and was replaced by endless disappointment. "Then, doesn't that mean I can't practice it at all?" She did not know any martial arts at all. She was not a martial arts genius. If she started learning martial arts at this age, she would probably never reach Nan Murong's realm in her entire life. Moreover, Nan Murong did not have the qualifications to practice it.
"Madam, don't be discouraged." Song Qingshu comforted her. "In fact, the most important condition is a deep inner force. I have a method to quickly increase your power."
