Above the firmament, the white clouds were still silent.
Just that from the cloud layer, suddenly a swift faint light swept out, silently but swiftly, bringing along a few lingering white clouds on the cloud layer, dispersing in the air. Very soon, this light landed in this abandoned village.
[Zi zi, zi zi...]
The familiar monkey cries, the three-eyed grey monkey jumped to the ground, looked around, clearly coming to this wilderness place, was far more enjoyable than in the mountain. Not long after, the monkey jumped away and burrowed into the dense weeds. It was unknown where it went to play.
Ghost Li, quietly stood in the middle of this village, his face expressionless.
Other than in his eyes, that unconcealable weariness and pain.
He stared blankly at everything around him, slowly turned, the once familiar place, everything slowly surfaced in his mind, even the wind blowing from afar, carried a trace of familiarity.
The fragrance of his hometown.
And far behind him, behind the dense wild grass, that white and slightly lonely figure finally disappeared into the distance.
He slowly walked over, the things that once imprinted in Lu XueQi's eyes also appeared before him, the dilapidated walls, mossy stone steps, and finally, that dilapidated temple.
Just that he did not walk over, he only stared at the temple from afar, in a daze, it was there that changed a young man's life!
He stood for a long time, also watched for a long time but in the end did not go over, after a long time, he turned, stepped over the weeds on the ground, barely able to distinguish the distance between the houses and walked on the small path. He walked very slowly, as if each step was extremely heavy, until he reached the third house in the second row, he stopped.
This was a house no different from the other dilapidated houses, the same broken doors and windows, the same deserted and abandoned, even the moss on the stone steps, seemed to be more than the other houses.
Ghost Li's lips, started to tremble lightly, for the first time in many years, he could not hold back the tears in his eyes, slowly, he knelt down in front of the little house, buried his head deep in the ground in front of the little house, in the wild grass.
Indistinctly in the wind, was a choked and struggling whisper,
"Father, mother..."
HeYang City.
After the demon beast catastrophe, HeYang City's vitality was greatly damaged, there were countless casualties but after the catastrophe, the days had to go on. The people who entered the city from all directions, as well as the people who fled back home, gradually made the ancient city bustle with activity.
On the busiest street, the best restaurant in Sunstream City, was still the Shanhai Garden where Shaw Danon stayed when he first came down from the mountain. Although because of the calamity, the noise was much quieter than ten years ago. After all, people escaped from death, it was rare for them to have the mood to eat and drink here.
However, on this day, a strange guest came to the Shanhai Court. This person was a young woman. She looked beautiful and moving. Not only that, but under this beautiful face, every frown and smile had a strange feeling that could captivate one's soul. It was as if the bones of the surrounding men would soften a little when this woman's watery eyes swept over them.
It was the nine-tailed celestial fox - Xiao Bai, who was separated from Ghost Li and Anan after the great change in southern border.
She walked into the Shanhai Yuan Restaurant openly and gracefully. For a moment, everyone, from the shopkeeper to the waiters, including the only two tables of customers, were dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, no one came up to greet her. But fortunately Xiao Bai seemed to be used to this situation, did not get angry, only smiled and said, "No one to serve me?"
After all, the shopkeeper was old, but he still had some self-control. He quickly composed himself and then hit the back of the head of the waiter who was still standing there in a daze. He said angrily, "The guests are here, why aren't you going to greet them?"
The waiter staggered, not knowing if he felt guilty, stammered over, not daring to admit it was Xiao Bai, smiled and said, "Miss, you, you want to eat or stay?"
Xiao Bai thought for a moment, said, "Better eat something first, do you have a private room here?"
The waiter nodded repeatedly, said, "Yes, yes, please go upstairs."
Xiao Bai nodded, walked upstairs, said, "Find me a quiet seat by the window."
The waiter smiled and said, "Miss don't worry, you are the only one in the private room upstairs, whatever seat you want will be given to you and I guarantee it will be quiet, no one will disturb you."
Xiao Bai was slightly surprised, said, "Why won't there be anyone, I heard the business here used to be good?"
The waiter had already gone upstairs, smiled bitterly and said, "Who says it isn't, the business was really good at that time, the entire HeYang City people were happy to come to our place to drink. But damn it, after that demon beast a while ago, it made people panic, in the end there were numerous casualties, at this time, not many people would want to come here. "
Xiao Bai slowly nodded. She sighed softly and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder."
At this time, the waiter had already brought Little White upstairs to sit at a table by the window and was wiping the table with a cloth he brought along with him. Xiao Bai looked out of the window from her seat, saw the pedestrians coming and going on the streets, it was still considered lively but most of them rarely had smiles on their faces, instead there were more frowns on their faces.
Xiao Bai quietly watched for a moment, suddenly asked the waiter, "Waiter, I want to ask you something, answer me honestly."
The waiter nodded and said, "Miss please ask."
Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, said, "All the commoners in this HeYang City, of course including you, all hate that demon beast in their hearts?"
The waiter snorted, hatred immediately showed on his face, loudly said, "Of course, this HeYang City in that demon beast calamity, nine out of ten houses were empty, you can go to the streets and find someone to ask, I guarantee that he definitely has a relative who died under the demon beast's claws. Pitiful us common people are defenseless, unable to resist, but fortunately the immortals on Qing Yun Hill, showed great mercy, displayed their divine power, chased away that damn demon beast, and then let us live a normal life again. "
Xiao Bai looked at the waiter's agitated expression, laughed bitterly in her heart, for some reason, flashed past that man in the southern border Subdue Devil Ancient Cave, struggling at death's door under the remnant fire.
Right and wrong in this world, who could say clearly?
The waiter also seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. His face turned red as he took a step back and said in a low voice, "This, this is just a casual remark. Miss, don't take it seriously. Do, do you want to order?"
Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Alright, but you don't have to order any dishes, go down and tell the shopkeeper, just make three or four plates of your specialised side dishes, and also, bring ten pots of good wine."
The waiter was stunned, said in astonishment, "Ten pots?"
Xiao Bai glanced at him, nodded and said, "Ten pots."
The waiter paused for a moment and then hesitated for a long time, quietly said, "Miss, may I ask if your friends are coming, if there are, I can add some bowls and chopsticks in advance."
Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Don't think too much, it's just me alone, I want ten pots of wine, quickly bring it up, don't ask about the rest."
The waiter obediently retreated, but his eyes were clearly filled with disbelief. In fact, he couldn't be blamed. The most powerful person in the world could only drink one to two pots of wine. A person who could drink four or five pots of wine was either a wine immortal or a drunkard. It was just that this infinitely charming woman was clearly an "ordinary person" that couldn't be measured with common sense.
Because there were not many customers, very quickly, the waiter had already served the dishes that Xiao Bai ordered and placed them on the table. Ten wine pots with the words "Shanhai Yuan" engraved on the outside were also neatly placed on the other side of the table after a short while.
Fortunately this was the time when business was slow, if not if it was bustling, wouldn't it attract all the customers? But even so, Xiao Bai most likely would not care.
The waiter quickly left, leaving Xiao Bai alone in the private room. She poured and drank by herself. Very quickly, a pot of fine wine had been emptied. However, a faint pink color appeared on her cheeks. There was no sign of drunkenness at all. Instead, it added a bit of seductive charm to her.
"Ai …"
She suddenly, softly, sighed.
The wine was as pure as amber and as thin as a thread. It poured into the wine cup from the mouth of the teapot, creating a small splash. Xiao Bai stared at the wine cup in front of it, looking at its own reflection gently swaying on the surface of the water.
Then she smiled, a trace of bitterness in her smile, picked up the wine cup, drank it in one gulp.
On the streets outside the window, people made all kinds of sounds, endless streams of people, bustling with activity, those sounds, seemed to be very far away, as if it was in another world.
She placed the sixth empty wine pot, aside.
The gentle blush on her cheeks, contrasted with her eternal beauty, that pair of eyes, still clear.
Always intoxicated by wine, never intoxicated!
Her white teeth, gently bit her lower lip, alone, quietly laughed and then with a shake of her head, raised her hand to pour the wine.
On the streets outside the window, for some reason, the hubbub suddenly became louder, Xiao Bai frowned, moved to the window and looked out at the street. This glance, she was suddenly stunned, on the street below, a white-attired lady slowly walked over, her features clear and beautiful, floating like a fairy, if it wasn't Lu XueQi, who else could it be?
The surrounding commoners seemed to be attracted by Lu XueQi's peerless beauty but also intimidated by her cold temperament, not dared to go up directly, gathered far away to watch, discussing spiritedly, it was because of this reason. Xiao Bai looked at Lu XueQi, a smile slowly surfaced on her lips.
"Life is really everywhere we meet …" She muttered to herself with a smile yet not a smile, stood up, looked like she wanted to take the initiative to greet Lu XueQi, just that she had just stood up, suddenly her expression changed, her eyes left Lu XueQi, drifted to a remote corner far away in HeYang City.
A familiar black figure, extremely fast flashed past and then disappeared into another dark corner, and the next moment, another grey figure who was not unfamiliar to her, followed closely behind.
Xiao Bai stared blankly at that corner for a while and then her lips revealed a sneer, "Today is really a coincidence on top of coincidence, if I don't join in the fun, I will really be letting myself down, and even more letting that ShangGuan old ghost down, hehe, hehe …"
Amidst the cold laughter, her figure suddenly disappeared from Shanhai Yuan's private room like a ghost. After a long time, when the waiter came to clean up, he only saw an ingot of silver on the table and six empty wine jugs. The other four jugs had already disappeared.
And on the main street, Lu XueQi's figure, unknowingly, also disappeared from the street.
