In the beginning, Begonia felt extremely nervous, but as she gazed at the lights in the distance, her mind gradually settled down. Who knew how many times she had seen this sight since she was young, but this was the second time she found it so beautiful.
She remembered the first time. She was still a little girl in simple clothes, lying on the edge of the rooftop. Her face was filled with amazement, and her eyes shone. She refused to believe that such a bustling and beautiful sight existed in the world.
Today was probably the day they parted forever!
In that moment, the memories of the past flooded her head before drifting away with the night wind. The little girl rapidly grew up like a willow twig.
Until now.
She smiled faintly, letting go of life and death. Instead, she remained calm, standing among everyone like a goddess, cold and inviolable.
E Feng's vicious smile gradually became more pronounced. In the end, he could not help but laugh aloud. His wild laughter was like the howl of a jackal. He spread his arms and spun around.
"Hah, tell me, where's that wretched daemon? Didn't you say he'd come to save you a moment later? Why haven't I seen a single trace of him after so long? "Then he arrived before Begonia." Don't tell me you're lying to us? Come on, just admit it! Oi, you little bastard, how does it feel to be tricked by a woman? "
Everyone eased up as well. They all discussed, "Why would North Moon come? She's just putting up a front at the end of the day." "Whatever, the matters of the Sect of Clouds and Rain have nothing to do with us!" "She's embarrassed commander Li though!"
Granny You was even more displeased. "Children sure know how to make trouble. Commander Li, this is a matter of our Sect of Clouds and Rain, so please move aside!"
Li Qingshan suddenly pointed behind E Feng and called out, "North Moon!"
E Feng was taken aback. He squinted his eyes. "Do you think I'm a child? And you're still trying to use something like that … "
Suddenly, he discovered that the terrace had become extremely quiet. Everyone's gazes followed the direction Li Qingshan was pointing in. Afterwards, they all froze there as if they had been struck by a freezing curse. Their expressions twisted and changed, becoming panic, fear, trembling …
Granny You was like an old hen that had been startled. She shrank back and seemed even shorter.
E Feng slowly turned around …
Under the crescent moon, a peerlessly handsome man with scarlet hair and eyes stood. Standing at the edge of the rooftop, the moonlight seemed to be dyed red. Behind him was a resplendent sea of lanterns. His long hair and clothes fluttered in the night wind.
Silently, the tsunami arrived. The North Moon had arrived.
E Feng felt all the blood in his body churning. His heart turned cold in an instant. His mouth was wide open, but no sound came out.
"Hey, woman, why did you call me?"
North Moon scanned the rooftop with his scarlet eyes. Finally, his gaze fell on Begonia.
When the cultivators met that pair of red eyes, they could not help but shrink back. With a whoosh, they retreated a large circle. It was as though North Moon's eyes contained some invisible witchcraft.
"North Moon."
Begonia took a step forward. She didn't know how to answer. She had already made up her mind to die, but the savior that she had spouted nonsense suddenly fell from the sky, causing her to be in a daze. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her memories from several years ago.
In the eyes of others, it was naturally a woman who had seen the lover of her dreams. She was so excited that she could not control herself.
The cultivators in black all looked horrified. E Feng's back was dripping with cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down. This battle had to be won by wits, not by force. He had to restrain Begonia as soon as possible, so that the evildoer would hesitate to attack!
He glanced around. The heavens were really helping him. Li Qingshan had stepped aside at some point. Qiu Haitang stood there alone, as delicate as a crabapple flower. He hurriedly sent a mental message to his companions. Just one move. He could restrain her!
Just as he was accumulating power, a hot wind brushed past his face. E Feng's eyes widened. He felt as though time had stopped around him. Only one person was not affected. North Moon swept past him like he was taking a stroll in the park and came to Begonia's side.
"I can't win! I definitely can't win! I can't even escape! "E Feng groaned in his heart.
North Moon naturally wrapped his arm around Begonia's exceptionally slender waist. "Why aren't you saying anything?" He glanced at the pile of gold, silver, and jewelry. "What's going on with these things?"
Begonia's delicate body stiffened. Her cherry lips parted slightly as she looked at North Moon. The memories from a few years ago became incomparably vivid. It was as though he had directly jumped out of her memory. However, she could not read anything from those crimson eyes.
However, at this point, she had to act even if she did not want to. She simply leaned on him and said in a coquettish tone, "These people want to force me to marry E Dan. These gold and silver are all my betrothal gifts …"
She rambled on about the cause and effect of the matter, especially describing the scene of E Feng scolding North Moon as a demon. She said things like "I'm not afraid of that demon even if he comes" and "I have to flee at the sight of my master" in a vivid manner. Although she did not lie, she inevitably added details to make E Feng and the others seem even more detestable.
With every sentence that Begonia said, E Feng and the others trembled all over. Every sentence was simply heart-wrenching. Begonia's eyes flashed with the joy of revenge. No matter what North Moon had come for, after hearing these words, these people would not be able to escape death!
North Moon listened silently and could not help but laugh. "Oh, this is very interesting!" Half-jokingly, he reached out and caressed Begonia's plump cheeks. He said gently, "I've made you suffer."
"This is all a misunderstanding. We have no intention of becoming enemies with you. Our master is Great General E Dan, and we have long admired you. We never thought fellow Qiu would actually have a partner, so we thought she was just bluffing. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us, fellow Qiu! "
E Feng changed from his brash demeanor Just Now and actually behaved politely. He referred to North Moon as sir before clasping his hands deeply towards Begonia in the end. He actually seemed extremely sincere, without the slightest hint of a scoundrel who spoke without restraint.
"Yeah, yeah, it's all a misunderstanding. I was just about to pass on the position of sect master to Haitang and return to the depths of the mountains to cultivate in seclusion!"
Grandma You rubbed her hands together and smiled. Qiu Haitang hadn't forgotten to bring her along when she was narrating the story. Grandma You didn't dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. She smiled like a blooming flower, and when she looked at Qiu Haitang, she even had a pitiful expression on her face as she silently used her bewitchment art.
Begonia could not help but wonder, Granny You is already so old. Just how many more years can she live for? She's still my senior after all. It's all for the good of the Sect of Clouds and Rain!
Smack! There was a resounding slap.
North Moon casually slapped granny You across the face. Under the Tremors of the Ox Demon, her protective layer of spiritual energy immediately shattered. Her head turned to one side, and her old face was thrown into the air. Over a dozen teeth flew out of her mouth.
"Your smile is so hideous! Keep it to yourself!" North Moon said impatiently.
Granny You was surprised, furious, and fearful. She clutched her swollen face and became even more afraid of striking back, nor did she dare to smile anymore. She murmured, "Yes, yes!"
Smack! There was another resounding slap.
North Moon gave granny You another backhand slap and waved his hand. "Forget it. You better just keep smiling. It'll only be uglier if you don't smile!"
Granny You became dizzy from the slap. Not a single tooth remained in her mouth. She stood there awkwardly. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Begonia returned to her senses as well. She knew she had fallen for the arts of charm again. Originally, she was very annoyed, but when she saw granny You's disheveled state, she could not help but burst out laughing. When she thought about how granny You had swaggered around and forced her time and time again, she felt great pleasure.
Smack! There was another slap.
Even a person made of clay had a temper. Granny You was a mighty Golden Core cultivator after all. She said in surprise and fury, "You- I …"
"If you like it, I'll slap you again!"
North Moon completely ignored granny You and said to Begonia gently. He could not copy King You of Zhou and toy with his vassals, but casually slapping them a few times was still very easy.
"There's no need."
Begonia lowered her head and said softly. Her cheeks were slightly red. She knew that he was standing up for her. She could not tell if she was touched or something else, but she felt a little dizzy.
Just a moment ago, she was being forced by granny You, humiliated by E Feng, and treated coldly by everyone. Only Li Qingshan was willing to help her. As she thought of this, she could not help but look back. She saw Li Qingshan retreating far away, smiling and nodding at her.
When she looked back again, everyone looked at her with eyes full of panic. They were afraid that if she pointed a finger at them, even if they were lucky enough to survive a few slaps, they would lose all face. Especially E Feng and the others. Their faces were ashen, and they were panicking like stray dogs.
She then saw Hwa Seung-zan's extremely complicated expression. She smiled brightly, no longer worrying about him, and found that she was actually a little proud. "Hmph, go think about your Gu Yanying. It's not like I don't have anyone who wants me!"
Begonia bit her lip and pulled on North Moon's collar. She pointed at E Feng and the others. "And them!"
E Feng and the others cursed her in their hearts for being a bitch and a bitch, but they smiled dryly.
"If you won't let us go, our master E Dan and Prince Si Qing will not let you go. Why do you have to go so far for a misunderstanding?"
North Moon waved his hand. "Since it's a misunderstanding, why don't you get lost!"
When E Feng and the others heard this, they were overjoyed as if they had been pardoned. They thought, "Hmph, as expected, he still has some reservations. This evildoer will die a horrible death in the future!" They wanted to say a few tough words, but they did not dare to. They cupped their hands and turned to leave.
Begonia was a little unwilling, but she did not forget that they were acting now. If they did not agree with each other and made him unhappy, it would not be worth it.
"Wait!"
E Feng and the others had already arrived at the edge of the rooftop. If they took a few more steps forward, they would be returning to the sea, and they would be entering the mountains. However, Northmoon's wretched voice rang out from behind. He gulped and turned around. "Sir, do you have any other orders?"
"You forgot to bring betrothal gifts!" North Moon glanced at the gold, silver, and jewelry. E Feng and the others relaxed and walked back. They were about to put the small mountain of gold, silver, and jewelry into their hundred treasures pouches when they heard North Moon say, "Wait, you're going to bring them just like that?"
"How do you want us to bring them?"
North Moon raised his chin at the pile of gold, silver, and jewelry. "Eat them!"
"What!" E Feng was shocked and angry. How could these gold, silver, and jewelry be eaten?
North Moon smiled and said, "You have to take back what you said. You have to eat the things you brought. You can't eat one less silver!"
