Volume 2: Feng Xiang Wu Yin Chapter 33: Meeting

  "What is this?!"

  "It's probably some rare treasure being born, and the sound is coming from the Mei Forest in the North!"

  "Go and take a look, what treasure is hidden in this plum wine jar?"

  "What's happened! This sound is like a landslide?"

  Suddenly, all sorts of noises erupted. Originally prepared to leave with Li Jing, Huo Buwei and others also stopped in their tracks, revealing surprise and greed in their eyes.

  "Not good!" Lu's face suddenly changed, a loud shout spread throughout the Hanmei Wine House, "Hanmei Wine House will not receive guests today, everyone quickly leave, if not, it will be considered as an enemy of Hanmei Wine House!" The voice echoed for a long time, and he was no longer in the distance.

  "Leave? I'd rather die! It's likely that this Cold Plum Tavern wants to swallow the treasure alone. Everyone under my command, follow me and charge!" Huo Bu didn't bother with Li Jing, brandishing his knife as he charged into the Cold Plum Tavern.

  It wasn't just him; everyone was drawn in by the sudden change before their eyes, whether they were watching the play or had ulterior motives, and they all took advantage of the chaos to rush towards the north.

  Li Jiong gazed at the empty surroundings for a moment, his cold eyes scanning towards the building on the right. Under the bright sunshine, a giant wolf statue stood with its wings spread, and a man in a red lotus-patterned robe leaned against it, his smiling face exuding a warm and elegant yet intimidating charm - it was none other than Si Ling Gui Yan, who had been missing for a day.

  "Hmm, I didn't expect the stone milk in this Cold Plum Wine Pavilion to mature today, it's a great thing." Si Ling Gui Yan's eyes flashed with surprise and then turned into an even deeper smile, "The play should be even more enjoyable now."

  He smiled at Li Jiong and nodded slightly, then passed over the eaves of the house and went north.

  Li Jing slightly shook his head, and his movements didn't slow down as he walked alongside. The plum forest of this Cold Plum Wine Residence was about to be stained with blood.

  When Li Jing arrived at the end of the plum forest, he indeed saw a ground full of corpses and blood, dyeing the white snow and plum blossoms red. The people from Hanmei Wine House led by Lu Yin, along with the remaining mob, cautiously and shockingly surrounded the few people in the center with their faces pale.

  Li Jiong stepped over the crowd and landed in the center. Zhu Miaoji looked at him with a frown, "Didn't you take them out to settle this?" He glanced at the bloody scene on the ground and then at Si Ling Gu Yun standing alone in his white clothes. Look, the master is not happy now.

  Li Jing said: "Time is not enough." He had no choice, the explosion sound came too fast, let alone the fragrance was enticing.

  "Snow Swallow Manor Master." Lu Gui spoke solemnly at this time, he didn't step forward because that person might not allow it, although they didn't say what the consequences would be if he did, but everyone understood. "This is the sacred land of my Hanmei Wine Residence, Hanmei Wine Residence has always been like well water and river water with Snow Swallow Manor, and I have even more respect for you, now that my sacred land has been desecrated, your obstruction is somewhat excessive."

  The water in the Si Ling Pond didn't even ripple, and the Second Elder Lu Renjia gritted his teeth and said: "Resident Master, no need to say more! My Hanmei Wine Residence will not tolerate such bullying from anyone, even if it's the Xueyuan Mountain Villa!" Before Lu Ye could utter a word of restraint, the fiery Lu Renjia had already bowed his head and rushed towards the mountain wall.

  Nor did he see how Ciling Guoying made his move, but Lu Renjia had already merged with the scattered flesh on the ground, unable to be pieced together into its original appearance.

  Such a terrifying strength made people dare not even think of resisting. Lu Yin closed his eyes and clenched his fists, unable to resist due to inferior skills.

  "Alone Goose?"

  At this time, the sudden appearance of a joyful woman's call here is especially eerie. Even if the sound is pleasant and moving, the woman who suddenly came down from the middle of the mountain is stunningly beautiful.

  As soon as Tang Nian left the cave, she saw this Asura scene. White snow and red plum blossoms, blood that was even more vibrant than the blossoms, and scattered flesh and limbs all over the ground. The man wore a white robe with wide sleeves, not a single speck of blood or dust on him. His expression was cold and indifferent, but his eyes began to flicker after seeing her, and there was a red tooth mark on his left cheek, which looked somewhat comical on this jade-like face.

  He was holding a Qinghua porcelain cup in one hand and a tray in the other, with three Qinghua porcelain plates covered with lids on the tray.

  Tang Nian's expression froze for a moment, then she burst out laughing. She fell onto Si Ling Gu Yun's side, pointing at the tooth marks on his face and asked in a low voice: "Did I bite you?"

  "Alright."

  She thought it was just a bite on the lips when she heard Green say so, but she didn't expect to really bite him. After laughing, there was some fear, looking at the tooth marks, fearing that they had bitten out blood, and the other party did not get angry, fortunately. Taking out the ointment brought with her, Tang Nianian seriously used the fingers coated with ointment to gently stroke the tooth marks, "Does it hurt? I didn't do it on purpose."

  Cui Ling didn't say a word, but from his gentle and calm expression, it was clear that his mood had improved.

  Zhu Miao let out a sigh of relief, nothing compared to the main mother's one sentence and one action.

  After applying the medicine, Si Ling Gu Hong handed her a small blue porcelain bowl, "Take it."

  Tang Nian's eyes didn't even blink as she received the still warm celadon bowl, opened the lid and was greeted by the fragrance of rice porridge wafting up. Her stomach wasn't hungry, but her appetite had emerged. Under Si Ling Gu Yun's focused gaze, amidst the stunned and shocked stares of the surrounding crowd, Tang Nian took a few mouthfuls with her spoon, the soft and glutinous texture not requiring any chewing.

  "Delicious?" Si Ling Gu Hong asked in a calm tone, his eyebrows slightly raised and his eyes flickering.

  Tang Nian nodded with her eyes closed, "Delicious!"

  Si Ling's eyebrows and eyes could be seen smiling, opening the three dishes on the tray and placing them in front of her to make it easier for her to eat. "Compared to Zeng Shifu?"

  Tang Nian's expression changed slightly as she tasted a few bites of her food, looking at Si Ling Gu Yun, "Want to tell the truth?"

  "Alright."

  "Mr. Zeng's cooking is delicious and also has medicinal effects."

  Cui Ling Guhong said: "There will be a day when it's even better to eat." So, don't think about him again from now on.

  Tang Nian looked at him with a gaze, the joy on her face grew thicker, and she nodded to continue eating. Thinking that one day his cooking would be better than Master Zeng's, Tang Nian wanted him even more.

  This time after breaking through the valley, facing Si Ling Gu Yun, she still couldn't see through. Without being fully sure, she didn't want to act rashly.

  The two of them ate as if no one else was present, or rather, one person ate while the master of Setsuei Manor, who had just been like a demon from hell, personally served him.

  Not to mention the others who were shocked, Tang Qiusheng, who knew Tang Nianian well, was even more astonished. Although he hadn't spent much time with this second sister of his, he had heard about her temperament and had a deep understanding of it. This weak and sickly second sister, who looked like a porcelain doll since childhood, always spoke in a soft and gentle voice, moved as gently as a breeze on a willow tree, turned pale at the sight of blood, and seemed to be on the verge of fainting at any moment.

  But look at the person in front of you now, not only is his movement as if he's walking on wind, with an elegant and leisurely demeanor. Faced with this bloody scene without any change, he's still chatting and laughing, eating as if nothing's wrong.

  Is... is this still his second sister? Tang Qiusheng's eyes were filled with confusion. Apart from her face, there was no longer any trace of the original person left on her body.

  "Brother, your skills are as they were in the past, a hundred lives are nothing but ants in your eyes." Si Ling returned to the wolf eagle's back, sitting cross-legged with a smile of praise. However, her gaze fell on Tang Nian, and a look of surprise and dissatisfaction flashed across her face. She didn't seem afraid at all? If so, what about the saying "seeing is believing"?

  Cui Ling returned to the geese, and the three of them smiled and said, "You bunch of mobs dare to take action against Snow Swan Manor? My brother killed your bloodline, took your territory, and left you with your lives. Now, sparing your lives is just not worth taking action against you."

  His voice was like a devil's whisper, stirring up the demonic thoughts and bloodlust in everyone's heart. Looking at that group of people again, their faces were already flushed red, their eyes filled with humiliated fury and resentment.

  Zhu Miao frowned and sighed lightly. This Gu Yanzhou was truly afraid that the world would be too peaceful, intentionally adding trouble for them.

  "Too much deception!" Duan Desi growled, his whole body bursting with energy, "All disciples listen to my orders, kill for me!"

  It wasn't just him, the other two also lost their sanity, with only one word left in their minds: kill. Leading their subordinates, they all rushed forward, charging towards the center to kill.

  The wind blows by, and the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms mixed with the pungent smell of blood enters the nostrils, a sweet and sticky taste that slows down the heartbeat.

  All the shouting and screaming for death suddenly stopped, leaving only that faint and gentle crunching sound. The crowd had turned into fertilizer for the plum blossoms in the garden.

  The smile in Si Ling's eyes disappeared for a moment, staring at Tang Nianian with a tangled expression. Her actions were completely different from his plan.

  A moment.

  "Hic." Tang Nian burped loudly.

  Digression

  I guess it's Si Ling Gui Yan Zhu Shi ~ Is Si Ling Xing Hong being adopted? Congratulations, the first one who guessed correctly! The smiling fox Gui Yan is handed over to you now ~!

  ——

  Are there any more discoveries about the subtleties of the previous chapter? Okay! Was the water hint too unclear? Didn't you notice that all the people who died in the previous chapter were very obvious? Lu Renyi (Passerby B), Bei Jumen's Can Yu (Tragic Gate's dinnerware), others will die even more obviously, Yun Jian Mountain Villa's Ma Yi (Ant), Chunyu Building's Dun Desi (All Dead), Hei Yin Zhai's Huo Bu Xiao (Can't Live), plus the now appearing Lu Renjia (Passerby A), okay! Look, all those who should have died are dead~

  So Li Jiong's godmother hasn't appeared yet.

  Someone suddenly appeared and said: Xiaoyue is heartbroken, Shuojie loves you, come to Shuojie's arms, sister will take care of you, don't go to others. [Don't misunderstand, this person is absolutely not Shui Da]
