"Senior sister, why are we going down the mountain?"
"You have asked that for sixty-seven times for the past 3 days. And I've answered you sixty-six times. Now I don't want to answer it for the sixty-seventh time."
"But senior sister, I really don't understand!"
"Then you should listen to our master. Don't ask."
"Senior sister, I want to go home!"
"You got a home?"
"I mean going back to the mountain..."
"Go. I won't stop you."
"But our master will beat me to death if I went back!"
"It's good that you know it."
"... Senior sister, why are we going down the mountain?"
On the official road to Qingzhou, Li Ye speechlessly looked at the man and the woman. He had been fed up with their conversations.
Wearing navy gowns, both of them looked young. Li Ye did not overtake them to look at their faces. From their backs, he could see that the lady was tall and graceful with her long hair leaning against her back and a quaint long sword in her hand. The man was shorter than the woman. His body was chubby which looked funny when walking beside the lady. What he carried on his back was a peach wood sword.
Li Ye had a look at the peach wood sword and found that it was really ordinary without any Spiritual Qi. It could be easily bought on the street with a few coins.
This place was still far from Qingzhou city. Li Ye came in a hurry but slowed down when he got into the realm of Qingzhou. It was his way of learning the local customs by paying attention to what he saw and heard on the way. But the man was talking too much, which made him feel helpless. On the contrary, the women whose beautiful figure could not be hidden in the large gown was really good-tempered to keep calm all the way.
Li Ye caught up with the 2 persons and clapped on the man's shoulder. He handed out a wine sac and said to him, "Would you like to have a drink? It's good."
The man turned his face, which was round and clean. He had a soft-outlined face, looked like a babyface. He stunned and looked at Li Ye. After he saw the wine sac, he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply with his face looked intoxicated. His eyes were as bright as the Pearls of the Night when they were open again. His face was wearing a complacent look just like the trumpet blossom. Then he received the wine sac and said thanks quickly before he began to drink like a fish.
Li Ye was only too annoyed by the man's nagging and tried to stop him with the wine. He didn't think it really worked. Therefore, both the chubby guy and Li Ye were happy.
However, someone was not happy.
That was the senior sister.
Li Ye was deeply shocked by her beauty when he saw her face clearly even though he had seen so many beautiful ladies. She was too beautiful. Her face was like a silver plate, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like water apricots. Her ears and cheeks were pink colored, and her skin was soft and delicate. Her beauty would make the young girls jealous. However, her expression was not proud, but only a little transcendent. Speaking of the look, she could be described as an Immortal.
Li Ye had seen many beauties. He concluded on her look as causing fish to sink out of sight and the flying crane to drop down.
The beauty changed her face which was covered with a layer of frost after seeing Li Ye gave wine to the chubby guy. She spoke word by word, "Did you give him wine?"
The chubby guy was drinking happily so that he had no intention to stop. His mouth never left the wine sac. Li Ye laughed, "Don't worry. It's not poisonous."
The lady inhaled deeply, "Why did you give him wine?"
Li Ye was curious, "Any problems?"
The lady picked her delicate eyebrows and sneered, "Any problems? You'll know soon."
Li Ye got puzzled. He looked at the chubby guy who was still drinking fast without spilling out any drops. His throat was rumbling by moving up and down.
The lady felt something wrong, "How much wine is there in the wine sac?"
Li Ye spread his hands, "The wine sac is also a magic tool with a large s.p.a.ce in it. There's not much wine, only a vat."
"A vat?" this time the lady's face totally changed. Instead of the frost, it was the look of fear that came on her face. She tried to stop the chubby guy right away, "Stop drinking!"
The chubby guy looked so round in shape that one might think he was rigid. In fact, he was quite flexible. By randomly twisted his waist, he avoided the lady's hand. The lady frowned and moved even faster triggering her cultivation to grab the wine sac. Li Ye's eyes lit up. The lady had a middle level of cultivation in Qi-refining!
According to the convention of the imperial court, a cultivator with middle level of cultivation in Qi-refining equaled an officer of four-cla.s.s and above. It was not a cheap t.i.tle.
However, the lady missed the chubby guy again. The latter saw the lady was coming in full fury. He jumped and floated away for dozens of meters before landing in a tree at the side of the road. While he was avoiding and escaping, he never let the wine sac leave his mouth.
"I seldom see a person who loves wine so much." Li Ye watched for fun, "I also seldom see a chubby guy who is so flexible."
The lady could not catch the chubby guy. She was angry and stopped to stare at Li Ye in hostility, "How can you enjoy watching us?"
Li Ye shrugged his shoulders, "He'll get drunk at the worst. What's so scary?"
"Drunk at the worst?" The lady sneered again, "Don't regret when you suffer!"
At this moment, the chubby guy stopped at last. His chubby belly looked more round in shape. He raised his head and howled for long like a wolf. Then he flew back from the tree to Li Ye to return his wine sac. He was totally blushed and belched, "Thanks for the wine!"
Li Ye took the wine sac with a smile. But his eyes changed after he felt the "weight" of the wine sac. He looked at the chubby guy and didn't believe it, "You've... finished it?"
"Don't worry. You won't lose it for nothing!" The chubby guy waved his big hand and got close to Li Ye. He grabbed Li Ye's shoulder and smile weirdly. His other chubby hand moved to Li Ye's face, "I drank your wine. I will repay you!"
Li Ye avoided his hands immediately. The chubby guy's smile had frightened him, "What are you going to do?"
"Come on, Mister. Don't be shy. I won't eat you. Haha!" The chubby guy's laughter was creepy. He jumped over to Li Ye who widely opened his eyes and shook his hands out of panic. He looked at the chubby guy's intimate eyes and still couldn't believe it. Had he been in that kind of situation?
The chubby guy had such a taste!
Li Ye pushed his palm to smash the chubby guy away. But his strength of palm only stopped the chubby guy for a second but not smashed him away as Li Ye's expectation.
Li Ye stunned, "Have you upgraded after drinking?"
The lady was watching the chubby guy aside. She was obviously afraid to get close. Seeing Li Ye's embarra.s.sment, she sneered through her clenched teeth, "Ha."
The chubby guy opened his arms and ran towards Li Ye. He kept l.u.s.tfully laughed with an unpleasant gesture. But he was so fast to get to Li Ye in a blink. He closed his arms and held Li Ye's body firmly, "Mister, don't run away!"
Even, he rubbed Li Ye with his face.
The lady couldn't bear to watch. She held her forehead and turned around. Similar accidents had taken place for too many times. Every time the chubby guy got drunk, his cultivation just upgraded greatly. No one could stop him to hold anybody or anything. Many of her fellows had been suffered from him. The lady couldn't help s.h.i.+vering thinking of those tragic nights. The livestock which was tortured by him would not be in the mood to come out for a dozen days.
Therefore, the lady was sure what Li Ye would suffer. She had decided to walk far away to avoid getting involved.
The lady walked away for a dozen meters before she felt something wrong. There was no noise from behind, which was different from it used to be. The cries had always been loud. She turned her head doubtfully and stunned right away.
The chubby guy had taken his hands back. He squatted with Li Ye on the ground as if two brothers were talking to each other. It was obvious that Li Ye was the one who talked and the chubby guy was listening seriously. Nodding from time to time, he was like a good boy.
What was the matter? The lady was confused. The chubby guy had always lost his mind after drinking. Why would he listen to another one quietly by now? Before, even their master could only take him down a notch but couldn't make him quietly squat there. It was impossible.
In the lady's shocking eyes, Li Ye and the chubby guy stood up. Li Ye clapped the shoulder of the chubby guy and said something encouraging. The latter behaved like a little boy.
"Senior sister, this bro is a good man. Come and get acquainted!" the chubby guy waved at the lady.
The lady measured the chubby guy with her eyes seriously and found that he was still blushed and belching. If he were in such status before, he would lose his mind completely. However, he seemed alright and normal at the moment.
"This is my senior sister Su Emei."
The lady got close doubtfully. She saw the chubby guy warmly talking to Li Ye and guessed that he was fine. The lady couldn't help glancing at Li Ye. Being quite young, he didn't look like some sort of master. Why could he calm down the chubby guy?
Su Emei was quite clear that only a cultivator of much higher cultivation than that of the chubby guy could oppress the latter with his strength of cultivation and frightened him to calm him down. But neither she nor her master had such cultivation. For twenty years along, she had only seen one person with such cultivation, which was the headmaster of the Penglai sect.
The headmaster of the Penglai sect was said to be over one hundred years old. He had achieved the cultivation of Level 9 in Qi-refining. For recent years, he had been trying to break through to the Spiritual Master Realm. To that kind of person... how could this young man compare?
But the chubby guy was so well-behaved...
Was he bribed by the wine?
"My name is Li Jing," Li Ye folded his hands to Su Emei with a smile and weird eyes.
Su Emei understood the eyes. "Did you say I was going to suffer? But I'm fine." That was his meaning.
The chubby guy's name was Wei Xiaozhuang, at whom Su Emei stared, "What is going on?"
Wei Xiaozhuang didn't notice Su Emei's eyes and continued to introduce Su Emei to Li Ye, "My senior sister is the top disciple on the mountain. All over the Taoist temple, only my master could defeat her. By the way, there are only three persons in our temple. The rest are livestock. I heard that my senior sister got in the sect at the age of 3. When she came up the mountain in March, it snowed heavily on the mountain while all the peach blossomed. The snow and the peach blossom appeared at the same time. Isn't that miracle?"
"A person of legend. You have my admiration." Li Ye folded his hands to Su Emei, who was cold in manner. Maybe she was not happy. Even Wei Xiaozhuang's praise did not bring her attention.
"Where did you come from? Where are you going?" Su Emei stared at Li Ye's eyes as she was talking. She was making herself clear. Who are you on earth? Why could you calm down my junior brother? And what was your purpose by striking up a conversation with us?
Being unfriendly, Su Emei still looked very beautiful. After all, the beauty's every twinkle and smile was style. The beauty justifies the beautiful lady. Li Ye didn't agree with this saying. So he answered with a smile, "I come from where I come from, and I'm going to where I'm going to."
"You!"
Su Emei got stuck with this answer. Her jade-like face was colored in red. She gritted her teeth and was about to say something when Wei Xiaozhuang clapped his hands and yelled, "Brother Li's words made sense, just like those of our master!"
Su Emei couldn't hold it and fiercely stared at Wei Xiaozhuang. She pushed him aside and prepared to dig more. But she found that she could not push him away at all because the latter was resisting. Being embarra.s.sed, she turned her head back and stared at Wei Xiaozhuang, "Come here!"
"Senior sister, it's not me who don't want to move," Wei Xiaozhuang was frustrated, "I cannot move at all!"
Su Emei was shocked and looked at Wei Xiaozhuang carefully. Until then did she find out that Wei Xiaozhuang's legs were shaking like h.e.l.l. She suddenly realized that Wei Xiaozhuang became well-behaved not because of the wine, neither because he thought Li Ye was a good man!
She suddenly looked at Li Ye, startled in her heart.
