Chapter 129 Drinking Song

"Ah."

"You love him?" He frowned slightly. She always loved to linger in the mortal realm, ignoring the affections of people from the other five realms. Mortals are destined to be born, grow old, get sick, and die, but he didn't know what it was about them that she loved so much.

"Loved."

Shen Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Huan stared at him for a long time before quietly walking away.

"You've only just arrived, and you're already leaving?" Shen Tu tried to persuade her to stay.

Once she enters the mortal world, if she deliberately conceals her presence, no one in the six realms can find her whereabouts.

"I only sent a wisp of my soul here; it must return eventually." "Where are you staying now?"

"The Huo family residence of the Wu Kingdom".

"it is good."

......

She woke up three days later.

Wei Zhongqing rushed over as soon as he received the news. Although she was his nephew's fiancée, he couldn't care less about that now and had been worried about her constantly these past few days.

Jin Huan, dressed in plain clothes with no hair ornaments, stood under the crabapple tree in the courtyard, lost in thought.

"Huan'er."

Wei Zhongqing used to call her Shen Xiaoniang, then Jin Huan, and now the name Huan'er alone reveals that his love for her is hard to control.

She turned to look at him.

The servants in the courtyard were not around; he deliberately made sure they kept their distance.

He walked towards her step by step.

Wei Zhongqing wanted to hug her; Jin Huan's current appearance was truly pitiful and heartbreaking, but he restrained himself.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life. From now on, I will take care of you and treat you as well as Jingheng did, okay?"

"You flatter me, Grand Marshal." She smiled faintly and took a step back.

Jin Huan had promised Huo Jingheng that she would wait a while before liking someone else, and besides, Wei Zhongqing was Huo Jingheng's uncle.

Wei Zhongqing felt a chill run through his body from her actions, but being much older, he knew how to control himself. Even though he was heartbroken, he suppressed it and showed no intention of overstepping his bounds.

After that day, he came to see her every day.

Sometimes I play a game of chess with her, sometimes I practice swordsmanship with her, sometimes I brew tea with her...

She loved storybooks, so she collected many bamboo slips containing tales of extraordinary people and events, and told them to her.

She loved beauty, and he would buy her every new face powder and lipstick that came out of the Rouge Pavilion in Chang'an.

She liked novel things, and even a steady man like Wei Zhongqing trained fighting roosters for her.

She loved delicious pastries. It is said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but Wei Zhongqing personally asked the cook for advice, just to make chestnut flower cake for her.

......

This peaceful life seems fine, since she only has herself by her side anyway.

Until that day

He excitedly carried a pot of Jiu Yun Chun wine to her courtyard, which he had specifically asked His Majesty for.

"Huan'er, your favorite wine."

Jin Huan had just poured herself a glass when she stopped. If she drank and did something reckless to Wei Zhongqing, she would be stuck here for at least a year and a half.

Therefore, Jin Huan hesitated.

Wei Zhongqing didn't know why she suddenly turned cold and became distant from him. Before she got up to go inside, he hugged her from behind.

A low, husky voice sounded in her ear: "Why all of a sudden? Did I upset you? I'll apologize, okay? Huan'er, I'm sorry."

It has been about half a year since Huo Jingheng passed away. In March, the crabapple blossoms are in full bloom.

Blue energy suddenly enveloped her.

Jin Huan's legs went weak, and she began to struggle slightly.

Do not be tempted by male beauty.

But Wei Zhongqing desperately needed an answer, so how could he be willing to let her go? "Why?" Jin Huan's voice was sweet and soft but husky: "Let me go quickly, men and women should not touch each other."

"Jing Heng is dead. Are you going to never accept anyone else for the rest of your life because of him?"

He was somewhat agitated when he said this.

He turned her around, and in Jin Huan's stunned gaze, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Jin Huan found himself with nowhere to retreat, with the crabapple tree right behind him, and he pressed closer and closer.

His clothes slipped down little by little, revealing his fair shoulders and calloused fingertips.
