Gu Yao naturally remembered.

They now travel the world, and their use of magic in the human realm is subject to restrictions. Naturally, they cannot do it at will. In fact, apart from not aging, their bodies are close to those of ordinary people in every other way.

Jiangnan is damp and cold, and Shen Juan had already told them to wear shoes when they decided to come here.

It's just that I'm used to going barefoot, and that habit isn't something that can be easily changed.

The cloud cake in my hand suddenly lost its appeal.

He reached out and tugged at Shen Juan's sleeve. "Fox~~, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."

The voice admitting the mistake was soft and gentle, a characteristic of the Wu dialect spoken in Jiangnan.

Seeing that Shen Juan still had a stern face, Gu Yao sighed and, as if being a rascal, jumped onto Shen Juan.

Shen Juan instinctively supported him.

He thought to himself that he had really found a tyrant.

Although her heart had calmed down, Shen Juan still kept a stern face.

Gu Yao had no choice but to resort to his ultimate move—seduction!

Just thinking about those two words made Gu Yao feel a dull ache in his lower back.

He took a deep breath, but his eyes were bright.

Like a warrior cutting off his own arm, Gu Yao made a move to kiss her, but was stopped by Shen Juan.

Gu Yao stared at him, her face full of heartache.

"There's no love left, is that it?"

"Fox, tell me, do you have someone else outside?"

"Or has it been my face that has faded and made you lose your love?"

As he spoke, Gu Yao covered his face with his sleeve, touching his face with a melancholy expression.

Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, which, combined with her already snow-white complexion, gave her a somewhat sickly beauty.

Her eyes were like autumn water, capable of softening one's heart at a glance.

He looked at the person in front of him, who was clearly many years older than him, yet was putting on an act.

His expression finally softened.

She gently lifted him up, kissed Gu Yao's cheek, their noses touched, their breaths mingled, and she sighed softly, "I'm truly defeated by you."

As he spoke, he gently laid the person down on the soft couch by the window. Chen Juan leaned forward slightly, her emerald eyes fixed on Gu Yao, and said in a deep voice,

"Tomorrow is market day in town. Farmers from the surrounding villages will come to town to buy things and sell their own goods. I heard there are a few hunters. Let me see if they have any soft furs. This house isn't big. I'll ask Aunt Wang at the town entrance to make a few blankets. You can go barefoot if you want."

After saying that, the boy lowered his head and sighed, seemingly helpless.

"I've really run into a jinx."

Gu Yao was taken aback.

Her toes couldn't help but swing slightly as she looked up at Chen Juan, "Then I am old enough to be your ancestor."

Shen Juan braced her hands on either side of the narrow, soft couch, a wicked smile on her face. "That ancestor's health is indeed not very good. He should take care of his body. He couldn't take it after just a few times."

Gu Yao: ...

Her face was sallow.

It felt like the car wheel had run over his face.

Gu Yao coughed lightly, straightened his back slightly, and looked directly at the young man in front of him. "I'm perfectly healthy."

Shen Juan let out a soft sound, as if mocking him.

Gu Yao wanted to retort, but Shen Juan scanned him up and down, her lips curving into an ambiguous smile. "Is that so? Then how about we put it into practice and see for ourselves?"

The pain in her lower back was protesting, but following her heart, Gu Yao waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'll eat pastries. This cloud cake is so delicious."

Shen Juan did not retreat, maintaining this highly aggressive posture.

Seeing Gu Yao with his head down, not daring to look at him, like a hamster eating, he slowly stood up.

"Is A-Yao planning to sell pastries or wine?"

Gu Yao paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and replied, "Sell wine."

Shen Juan raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

Gu Yao, however, disagreed and mumbled a piece of cake in his mouth, "It's the end of July now, and the osmanthus will be in full bloom in August. Osmanthus wine is the perfect choice for the occasion."

"more importantly……"

Gu Yao looked at Shen Juan, put down the pastries in his hand, and said seriously, "I want to drink with you under the moon."

To fulfill the agreement that Gu Yao failed to keep.

Gu Yao and Wanyan Jue drink together under the moon.

They should be the ones to fill the gap.

Looking back with deep affection.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

He suddenly burst out laughing.

He crossed his arms and looked at Gu Yao, "If you leave Jiangnan, where would you like to go?"

Gu Yao answered without hesitation, "Xi Ling."

"I want to go see the grasslands."

“Look at the lush, green, and free grassland that Yan Lu described.”

"I want to tame the wildest horses with the bravest men of the grasslands."

"I want to see the most beautiful bonfire, the lively scene of singing and dancing."

"I want to sit on a hill with my loved one, drink a pot of grassland liquor, and then get drunk under the most beautiful moonlight."

"I want to see the vast grasslands, ride the wildest horses, drink the strongest liquor, and tame the most spirited men."
