"Teacher Cen, Danqiu Sheng, please pour in the wine, don't stop."
"I will sing a song with you, please listen to it for me."
"Bells, drums, dishes, and jade are not expensive, but I hope to be drunk forever and never wake up."
"Since ancient times, sages have been lonely, only those who drink leave their names."
Although Wang Kaixuan was a devil incarnate, his voice was very deep and powerful, and the song that came out from his smoky voice was very infectious.
At first, he was singing alone, but then Ruan Jing and Ye Fengsheng sang along. In the end, everyone sang along.
After the song ended, Ye Fengsheng shouted to drink, and everyone picked up their bowls of white wine and drank it in one gulp.
Everyone present was from Swallow Dock, and the men of Swallow Dock loved wine, and their alcohol tolerance was excellent. When the waiters in the private room saw these guys open the Maotai and pour the wine bowl after bowl, they felt a little dizzy.
How was this drinking? They were clearly risking their lives.
However, they didn't have the chance to be dizzy for too long, because very soon, everyone felt that they were in the way and directly chased them out. They poured the wine and drank it themselves, why would they need the waiters?
The gathering of friends was pure and lively. Everyone spoke freely, unscrupulously showing off and attacking each other.
Zhu Zidan had guarded the North Sea for many years, and the stories that came out of her mouth were both new and strange, so she naturally became the main character of this gathering.
"Do you know about the Sword-kissed Viper? That fellow is originally born in the deep sea, and normally, it's impossible to see them. However, their venom is extremely strong, and they're not human, but they're very cunning. One night, a Sword-kissed Viper somehow sneaked into the crew's cabin and bit seven of our brothers. At that time, I was sitting on the mast drinking wine, and when I heard the commotion below, I carried the wine pot and jumped down. After figuring out what was going on, I raised my long sword and chased after the viper. That animal was very cunning, and when it saw someone chasing it, it jumped into the sea, and I also jumped into the sea. "
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the story to continue.
"That animal acted as if it were its own home in the sea. That's right, it's a poisonous snake. Moreover, it had the ability to change its color. How could I find it in the pitch-black sea? I had already given up, but I didn't expect that the animal still wanted to fish in troubled waters. It wanted to take advantage of the black waves to bite me. I was so angry that I chopped off its head with my sword. "
"Killed?" Ye Fengsheng asked. This child loved to listen to stories when he was young. Every time he listened to a story, he would be especially fascinated. It was easy to put himself in the shoes of others.
"Kill him." Zhu Zidan nodded.
"What about those who were bitten by poisonous snakes?"
"Three died, the rest were saved by She Qing."
"Since She Qing is here, why didn't she save the other three?" Ye Fengsheng asked.
Zhu Zidan glanced at Ye Fengsheng, lowered her head and drank a big bowl of wine. She said in a sorrowful voice, "Not enough snake purity. The doctor said that the Snake Qing of the Sword-kissed Poisonous Snake was not enough and could only save four people. Therefore, the three of them committed suicide. Our brothers guarding the North Sea all had one of those snakes in their mouths. They were worried that they would be captured alive during a mission and leak some secret. If we didn't stop them in time, the other four would have committed suicide as well. "
"…"
The private room was dead silent. Everyone's expression was so gloomy that it was somewhat scary.
Living is not easy, but sometimes death is even harder.
Our ancient people often told the story of two peaches killing three soldiers. Because it was difficult to distribute the benefits, everyone fought to the death.
However, in the sea area that we are unfamiliar with, there is still a group of people who chose to die when faced with the possibility of living.
It's not that they didn't cherish their lives, but because they knew how precious life was, they were willing to give this precious chance to live to their brothers and comrades.
"They didn't die from the Sword-kissed Poisonous Snake's attack. They died from suicide." Zhu Zidan said in a hoarse voice. Her face was filled with deep sorrow.
"Come, let's toast them." Fang Yan raised his bowl. "Although we don't know his name. However, they will always live on in the hearts of those who have witnessed this event and heard this story. "
Everyone raised their wine bowls and toasted in the direction of the North Sea.
"After that, I stopped drinking at night. Every night, we patrol the entire ship because we are worried that monsters like the Sword-kissed Viper will climb on board again, "Zhu Zidan said in a heavy voice. "It was only later that I found out that the Sword-kissed Viper was raised by a snake breeder. They wanted to let it enter the control room of the main ship and wait for me to arrive at the shore. Then, they would slaughter the sect that liked to raise sea snakes in the country that had always been hostile to us."
"Beautifully done." Wang Kaixuan roared, his face red. "A man should do what he shouldn't do. Zidan, when are you going to the North Sea again? I'll go with you."
Zhu Zidan shook her head and said, "I have to deal with the Grim Reaper every day in the North Sea. Because I know the horror of death, I yearn for this peaceful world. However, if the country needs me, I will go to the North Sea again. "
"Victorious Return, what are you saying? Zidan just came back, and she wants to go to the North Sea with you again? "
"That's right, the matter with Fang Yan still hasn't been resolved."
"In any case, I'm going to Huacheng with Fang Yan this time."
Zhu Zidan looked at Fang Yan and asked, "When are you going back to Huacheng?"
"Tomorrow." Fang Yan replied. He couldn't accept that woman's conditions, so he couldn't continue negotiating with the Qin Clan. As such, there wasn't much point in staying in Yan Jing. He wanted to go back and stand with Lu Chaoge and the others. Without him, he wouldn't be able to grasp the situation in Huacheng.
"I'll go with you." Zhu Zidan said.
"I'll go as well!" Ye Fengsheng roared with a red face and neck. "I'll fight whoever doesn't let me!"
"I want to go as well! Even if someone breaks my legs, I'll crawl!"
"Alright, you guys come with me." Fang Yan smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that we'll take the risk this time?" Li Xiaotian chuckled.
"When I came here, someone told me that being willing to sacrifice for others is a brother, and being willing to accept the kindness of others is also a brother," Fang Yan said. "Through thick and thin."
"To be able to say such philosophical words, it must be a woman, and a beautiful one at that!" Li Xiaotian said with a profound expression.
Ruan Jing sneered and said, "I can even calculate that beautiful woman's surname is Qin."
The smoke of the incense wafted out, and the fragrance of tea permeated the air.
Qin Yitian, dressed in a plain white robe, was kneeling in front of a tea table carved from the roots of a thousand-year-old rosewood tree. His posture was elegant and his movements were calm, and he was ordering tea as he conversed with the woman on the screen.
"This doesn't suit your style," Qin Yitian said without raising his head. She poured herself a cup of tea, then closed her eyes and sipped on it. "You'll never dwell on what has happened. You'll only pay attention to the current facts, and then look for problems and come up with the best solution."
"A man who isn't willing to marry my daughter has seen my woman's naked body. No parent would be able to accept this kind of reality, whether it's something that happened in the past or something that I have to face now." The woman on the screen was breathtakingly beautiful. She didn't wear any makeup, nor did she wear any jewelry. However, just by sitting there, her every frown, every smile, every word, and every sigh made people feel great pressure. "I'm your mother first, and then I'm your manager. But what I don't understand is, how could you do such a thing? Do you think this will help him? Threaten to change my stance? "
"No, I know it won't make much sense." Qin Yitian put down the cup in his hand, opened the box of the incense burner, and used a pair of tweezers to poke at the burning incense. She did all of this in a simple and casual manner, busy but not messy. It looked like an ordinary mother and daughter chatting while doing housework.
"Then why are you doing this?"
"Because I like him." Qin Yitian chuckled. "There are so many pitiful people, and I don't take off my clothes for them to see, right? But he's the first man I've fallen in love with so seriously, and I always want to do something for him. I know, it's your style. Every decision had to be carefully calculated. Every investment had to have the greatest return. Moreover, a woman in charge of such a huge family, how much resistance will there be in front of her? You've never told me, but I can imagine it in my heart. "
"I'm your daughter, and I'm not stupid at all. I know I can't influence you, let alone the overall situation, but as you said just now, you're my mother first, and then you're the manager of the group. Which parent in the world doesn't think about their daughter? If I don't do this, then he has no hope at all. If I do this, you'll think about him more or less, right? "
The woman on the screen frowned and said, "This is the man you want? This is the happiness you want? You should know that the most basic quality of an outstanding woman is to know how to make choices. Not only can they run a business well, but they can also run a family well. "
Qin Yitian looked up at his mother and said with a smile, "If the person you liked back then wasn't my father, would you still be willing to take over everything in the Qin family?"
"No." The woman shook her head and said firmly, "I'll destroy it."
"Look, I'm not like you at all." Qin Yitian said with a smile, "Since I like him, other men have become air. I've never had them, so how can I make choices? "
Li Xinnian pondered for a long time, looked at his daughter's delicate and dignified face, and said, "I'll reject the proposal of the General family."
