Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

"Hello, Lord Hong Jiang!"

"Oh, you've seen me?"

"No, I guess there aren't many people who can come here casually." Yan Mo said as he pulled over a chair, asked Hong Jiang to sit down, and made a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Ever since Liu'er said you two were together, I asked him to bring you to meet me, an old man, when he's free. But he hasn't brought you here in such a long time, so I couldn't help but come over to see you today. I hope I didn't offend you, young lady."

"No, no, I should have visited you sooner, but I've been busy practicing these days, and recently I've been obsessed with alchemy. Xiangliu is not here, and I don't want him to worry, so I dare not leave casually. Forget my adoptive father! Since you are Xiangliu's adoptive father, and I love Xiangliu, I will dare to call you adoptive father like him!"

"Okay, okay, since this is the first time my godfather is meeting you today, I should prepare a gift. I have a bracelet here as a gift. I hope you don't mind it!"

"Thank you, foster father."

"Godfather came here to ask something."

"I heard Liu'er say before that you have the ability of prophecy?"

"I can't really call myself a prophet. I only know a little bit about the future. What does my godfather want to know?"

Hong Jiang frowned, but still asked hesitantly.

"Liu'er...what will happen in the end?"

"Before answering the question, Mo'er would like to ask, father, what is Xiangliu to you? Did you have any selfish motives when you saved Xiangliu?"

"When I first met Liu'er, he was still a slave in the Death Arena. Although he was thin, he had a strong will. He had a strong desire to survive and he didn't trust anyone. I originally wanted to save him in the Death Arena, but I was a step too late. He escaped on his own. I thought, well, he's finally free. At that time, Chenrong Kingdom was still there, but it was also at the end of its strength. Each country was ruling its own empire and no one was willing to submit to the other. I might have thought of saving him and letting him grow into the next Chichen, giving Chenrong another fierce general, maybe there would be a turning point. Ha, it was just a naive hope. Chenrong at that time was impossible to save! Later, by chance, I saw him in the whirlpool. He was covered in wounds and was dying. I thought it must be fate, so I saved him when I saw him. But this kid was very vigilant. He took my healing skills and stabbed me, then ran away. Haha."

Yan Mo stood up, bowed, bent down 90 degrees and bowed deeply to Hong Jiang.

"Thank you, foster father, for saving me. Without you, there would be no Xiang Liu today. And there would be no me coming here and letting me meet him!"

"What's the point? I just saved him casually. Just consider it fate. Look, now he's my adopted son and I have a wife. I'm such a winner! Hahahaha"

"I can feel your sincerity towards Xiangliu, and I can also feel Xiangliu's respect for you, so I will respect Xiangliu's opinion in any decision I make. Xiangliu will not leave Chen Rongjun. Wherever he is, I will be there too!"

"So... in the end, Liu'er..."

I don’t really want to tell Hongjiang Xiangliu about the ending, I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it.

"Has Godfather ever thought about restoring the country?"

"Restoring our country is so difficult. Even if we do, who will be the ruler? In the end, the common people will suffer. If we have any hope of restoring our country, we will be retaliated by Xuanyuan. We don't care, we will die, but if we arouse the suspicion of King Xuanyuan and he attacks the people of the Central Plains, my sin will be even greater. Now, those who are holding on are just pitiful people who are unwilling to surrender and can't forget their brothers and family members who died at the hands of the Xuanyuan thieves."

"If the Great Wilderness is destined to be unified, will you surrender?"

"I swore to heaven: I will never surrender!"

"What if the unified person has Chen Rong's bloodline?"

"This...where are there any children of Chen Rong's bloodline now, those two twins from the Chishui family?"

Yan Mo shook his head and said nothing.

"Foster father, I will do my best to do what I can. As for the outcome, we will leave it to God to decide. As for what will happen to Xiangliu in the end, I am here, and I will be the biggest variable. I will not let Xiangliu repeat the same mistakes! Please rest assured, foster father!"

"Okay, okay, I'll leave these matters to you young people. Just live a good life. I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back first."

"Godfather, don't worry too much. There's still a lot of time left, and Xiangliu will be fine!"

"I feel relieved when you say that. You can go ahead and do your work. You don't have to send me off."

"Well, take care of yourself, godfather. Goodbye."

Feel the breath of Xiangliu

"Why don't you come out now that you're back? Did I say something wrong to make you unhappy?" Yan Mo said softly.

"Why didn't you tell my adoptive father about my ending?" Xiang Liu hugged Yan Mo from behind and asked in confusion.

"Because it will never appear again! May you live forever!" Yan Mo coaxed Xiang Liu with a smile!

"Like you said, even if he knew, there's nothing he could do. If my adoptive father knew you were going to be pierced by thousands of arrows, he would definitely try to get rid of you right now. Who knows if he would whip you a hundred or eighty times just to get rid of you? I would be so heartbroken, I would hate myself to death!"

"Are you injured?"

"No, I still need to keep myself in good shape to practice dual cultivation with you. Are you ready, Xiao Momo? How about tonight?"

Yan Mo got goosebumps all over his body, what a fairy!

"Xiangliu, I succeeded in refining the elixir. Although it is the simplest fasting elixir, it seems that you don't have it in the Great Wilderness. Selling the elixir will definitely make money in the future! Moreover, if we prepare it for the rebel army, we won't be afraid of a sudden shortage of food and grass."

"Well, Xiao Mo'er is awesome!"

"Xiangliu, I want to go to Qingshui Town for a stroll. Can you accompany me?"

"it is good"

After changing his makeup, Xiangliu did not change into Fangfengbei this time, but into a man with a slightly wheat-colored skin.

"Baozhu?"

Xiangliu was puzzled. He hadn't given himself a name yet?

"Why do you call me that?"

"Well, speaking of this, I have to talk about a certain affectionate man, number three. He was disheartened after his confession was rejected. He had happily decorated his love cottage in Qingshui Town, but was told that he couldn't dream. How pitiful. However, he was foolish and couldn't let go. He lived next to the place where the girl used to live in Qingshui Town, stayed with her family, and often helped her hunt, chop wood, and repair the house. So he named him Baozhu. Unfortunately, she didn't know. Tell me, isn't he stupid?"

"It's quite stupid, but it's a pity that some people like stupid people. I think it's stupid too. How about two stupid people become a couple?"

"Okay, I'm happy to do that!"

The two looked at each other and laughed happily.

They don’t care about the past. They talk about it occasionally and just treat it as a story. They focus more on the happiness of the present!

After leaving the forest, the two walked slowly towards Qingshui Town. At that time, Qingshui Town was not very prosperous. The occasional sparse shops looked more like small villages where the owners did some small business.

"What do you want to buy?"

"I don't know. I buy whatever I like. Girls don't need a reason to go shopping. They can spend the whole day shopping without buying anything. It's amazing, isn't it? In modern times, there are more diverse things than even your most prosperous cities. The buildings are thirty or forty stories high, reaching into the sky. At night, the lights are as bright as day, and there are all kinds of colorful lights. I will definitely take you there to see it if I have the chance. You have to make yourself ugly by then, otherwise the girls there will go crazy when they see you in your original state!"

"Why?"

"Because I will fall madly in love with you, hahahaha."

Xiangliu was amused. After thinking about it, she felt fortunate that she was one of them... She felt inexplicably happy.

"Legend has it that King Gao Xin's concubine has been missing for over thirty years. Despite countless search teams and a hefty reward, Gao Xin Xuanyuan has yet to find any trace of her. Poor little Prince Xuanxuan, her childhood sweetheart, can only shed tears every day at Wushen Mountain, yearning for the princess constantly..."

"Pathetic ass!" Yan Mo complained.

Unconsciously, I walked to the Qingshui Spirit Stone and told Xiaoyao's story...

"Let's sit down and listen for a while!" Yan Mo pulled Xiang Liu to find a corner to sit down, ordered a plate of nuts, and ordered a pot of tea. He wanted to hear what else this strange rock had to say.

"Whenever the little prince missed the princess, he would take out the jade pendant given to him when they parted, and place his longing on it, but his heart had already flown away to find the princess. However, human power is limited, and he has not yet been able to protect himself. What a pity!"

"Tsk, so boring. I'm in no mood at all. Why does a good stone have a mouth that talks nonsense? Let's go back!" After saying that, he pulled Xiangliu and walked away.

They didn't know that after they walked away, Qingshui Lingshi took a deep look at the direction they were going and slowly told another story.

"Legend has it that in ancient mythology, a young phoenix, driven by playfulness, left its family and wandered the lands. Along the way, it met a handsome young man. They invited each other to travel together, and over time, they fell in love, vowing eternal love and unwavering love until old age. However, fate was cruel, and a devastating disaster threatened to separate them. A black hole suddenly appeared, sucking away all the energy in the world. To save the world, the young phoenix sealed itself within the black hole's boundless suction, using its ancient divine veins to suppress it. When the young man arrived, he saw only the young phoenix's apologetic smile, saying, 'Let's continue our relationship in the next life, and live well.' Heartbroken, the young man howled to the heavens, transformed into a nine-headed snake demon, and entangled tightly with the young phoenix before disappearing..."

"What a pity!" Everyone lamented.
