Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 183: Story in Candlelight

Xue Mu's mind reflected on that night in the capital, that hell on earth. To this day, he doesn't dare to ask Weiye how she did that. For a little girl with a pure and cute soul, is it an unbearable burden to create such a scene?

So he didn't want to mention it, for fear of touching things that the little girl didn't want to remember.

There was a knock on the door, but it was the waiter who came in with beef and said with a stinky face: "Sir, the tables, chairs and dishes downstairs were broken by your wife. What do you say?"

Xue Mu turned around and glared at Wei Ye, who weakly huddled in the corner of the bed and apologized. Xue Mu still wanted to scold her at this time, but it was too late to feel the pain, so he smiled and stuffed a piece of silver: "My little girl is naughty and has caused trouble for the store."

The waiter took the money and his eyes lit up: "No trouble, no trouble."

"Is that guest injured? I'm very sorry." Xue Mu took out another ingot of silver and said, "I would like to give you a nice word to compensate that guest."

"It's nothing serious. He's a familiar face in the town, a martial arts practitioner. He'll be fine once he calms down. The little baby is so cute, and people won't care about it." The waiter looked at Weiye and hesitated: "But your beloved. This physique is a bit unusual... The table was broken and she was fine..."

"Ahaha, I've been greedy like this since I was a kid."

Can gluttony eat out this body? The waiter complained in his heart, but did not expose it. He just had nothing to say and asked: "Where did the guest officer come from?"

"Coming from the capital." Xue Mu asked, "Is the inability to sail just because of the heavy rain, or is it also due to nightfall? Can we leave at dawn?"

"It's more dangerous at night. Of course, no one is sailing during the day even if it's raining heavily." The waiter smiled and said, "Why don't you stay a few more days? Our town also has pleasant scenery and quite a few places to visit."

Xue Mu smiled: "Are you getting bonuses for introducing guides?"

"Huh?" The waiter's expression changed: "The guest officer looks like a scholar, but he is actually an old gangster..."

The girls squinted at Xue Mu, a man who was going out for the first time, pretending to be an old man.

"We still have to go on our way. Let's just have fun. We can just go up and down and see what we know." Xue Mu smiled and pointed at the Liudan River: "For example, the color of this river is special. Is there any allusion to it?"

"Yes!" The waiter became more energetic: "It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, two powerful Hedao warriors fought here to the death, and died together. Their blood dyed the river red..."

"Yeah, yeah, I should have known...it's so boring." Xue Mu dug his ears: "Go ahead and call you if I need anything."

"Hey, it's been passed down from generation to generation, and we find it boring now. We can only blame our ancestors for not having a good Xue Sheng."

The waiter sighed and retreated. Zhuo Qingqing closed the door and said with a smile: "Master, this witch's fax is so powerful. Seeing that it will affect the world, even the second brother despises the legend passed down from generation to generation in his family. Nowadays, countless people write books. Everyone and storytellers regard the young master as their ancestor, is this the beginning of a sect?"

Xue Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just that your past entertainment was too barren. I know that fighting is really boring."

Zhuo Qingqing smiled and said, "What would it be like if you let the young master make up this story about the river?"

The three women, big and small, all stared at Xue Mu, obviously looking forward to it. Xue Mu sipped his wine and pondered for a while, then said leisurely: "Tens of thousands of years ago, there lived a pair of lovers by the river. They were extremely loving. One day, the man went out to do business and accidentally fell into the enemy's plot and never returned. The woman was in the river. Bian waited year after year, but nothing happened... Blood and tears fell into the water, dyeing it with a sad color."

The women were all moved, and Luo Qianxue's eyes turned red instantly: "Master, you... you are such a bastard!"

Xue Mu said helplessly: "I made up a little story casually. Why are you so sentimental? I haven't even started to sensationalize it yet. Wouldn't it be more pleasant to add a sentence before leaving: "Life is the time to come back, death is the longing for lovesickness?"

Wei Ye was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Mu Mu's words are ominous, but we can't say them again."

"Why?"

"You go out to do errands, senior sister is waiting for you in Lingzhou."

"Crow's Mouth!" Xue Mu said angrily: "Will your senior sister be stupid enough to stand by the river and cry? If it is to be dyed red, it won't be just a river, I'm afraid the world will be bloody, okay!"

Wei Ye blinked her eyes and suddenly smiled: "You care about whether senior sister will cry or whether you will die?"

"Qingqing." Xue Mu said expressionlessly, "Help me kick this guy into the sky. The higher he can fly, the better."

Zhuo Qingqing broke away from the sadness of the story just now, shook her head and said with a smile: "Not to mention Weiye, we are also sad to hear it, why not change it?"

Xue Mu was speechless: "You really think I can tell a story just by turning my head. How can it be that easy?"

"But we love to hear the young master tell stories." Luo Qianxue suddenly said: "I remembered something."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"The young master just fell from the sky... At that time, the story of a porcelain bowl moved the young master. Otherwise, I'm afraid the sect master would really use it as a counting house. In fact, we were all listening to it. At that time I think this man has great ideas, he must be a dragon among men!"

"Stop doing this, it would be great if you could have some fun at that time." Xue Mu rolled his eyes at her, and then smiled: "Speaking of this, if Xiaochan hadn't thought the story was good and helped me, she was vague when introducing it. The words made Qingqing think wrong, maybe Qingqing wants to treat me as a servant and live in a woodshed. It turns out that storytelling is the foundation of my life!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all thought it was a bit funny. They were all involved. Now that I think about it when we first met, it was indeed quite interesting. Zhuo Qingqing smiled and said: "Then tell me a few more stories, or I will send you to live in the woodshed today."

"There's nothing I can do against you." Xue Mu thought for a while and said, "That's fine. It's a stormy day, with beautiful women and wine in the house, and candlelight flickering. It's just the right time to tell a story. Then I'll tell another one..."

Weiye suddenly said: "Fine wine, beautiful women, and candlelight, isn't this the time of spring night? There are so many people that I don't know what to do, so I have to tell stories, right?"

"Does this naughty kid know how to chat? Qingqing, throw her out! Quickly!"

This time Zhuo Qingqing didn't even speak for Wei Ye, and glared at her angrily. Weiye realized that she had offended the public, so she huddled in the corner of the bed and muttered pitifully: "If you don't believe it, his story must be very obscene..."

"..." Xue Mu really almost vomited blood because he was poked in the head by Wei Ye.

For him, the guards are really easy to get started with. Even if we don't mention Luo Qianxue, they really don't have much friendship, but Zhuo Qingqing is different. She has also taken the initiative to express her intention to cultivate together. Zhuo Qingqing is mature and enchanting, and the charm of a woman is coming to his face. He, Xue Mu, is not a heavenly eunuch. He restrains himself from overindulgence only for the sake of responsibility, for the sake of the Xingyue Sect's atmosphere, and for the sake of Zhuo Qingqing and their own cultivation future. In fact, what is in his heart? Is there anyone ready to make a move?

Now Zhuo Qingqing and the others have obtained the first level of "Star-Moon Divine Code" for some time, and each has gained something. For example, Zhuo Qingqing has broken through to the Transformation Stage. But it has been completely confirmed that it is impossible to continue practicing, which means that there is no point in guarding the body, and you can consider dual cultivation.

If it is said that only pursuing dual cultivation will lead to a bad atmosphere, then it will be no problem to slowly develop a tender and affectionate relationship where you and I are willing to do it! Telling stories is a good starting point. I often make some dirty jokes to tease and educate people. Subtly, there must be opportunities for romance when I go south!

In the end, it was exposed by Weiye, how could this be fun? I can only change it to a serious story...

Xue Mu took out the folding fan and stood in front of the window and waved it for a long time. He really couldn't think of a new story for a while. She couldn't help but glared at Wei Ye angrily. When Wei Ye saw him looking over, she stuck out her tongue and made a face. Xue Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this girl might be able to smell the erotic connotation in him through her ability to argue... It's not that the naughty kid doesn't know how to chat, she did it on purpose!

Realizing this, Xue Mu finally gave up his obscene thoughts and sat back at the table helplessly to drink: "Okay, let me tell you a story about the Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf..."

Before he finished speaking, noises came from the river downstairs outside the window. A young man ran away, and a group of people chased behind him with knives and swords: "Leave the Heaven-Swallowing Manual!"
