The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 147
There was only a thin piece of paper inside, and a few short sentences were written on it.
Mo Ran glanced at it, and his heart dropped to his stomach. He almost secretly let out a long sigh of relief, and only then did he realize that his clothes were drenched in cold sweat.
Xue Meng also came over to take a look.
“What?” He frowned as soon as he saw it. “Why is it this kind of thing?”
“… What else could it be? I already said that I’m not familiar with her.” In his relief, Mo Ran really laughed. He put the letter on the table. “You made it sound so strange, and you really scared me.”
As it turned out, Mo Ran had been running around outside these years, and he had killed many notorious demons. Among them was a carp demon, which had plagued Dreamcloud Swampland for many years. Because of its high transcendence energy and its remote location, many cultivators went to fight it, but in the end, they all became bones that it used to decorate its cave.
Dreamcloud Swampland was filled with demonic aura, and it was very easy for demons to cultivate into demons, but carps were not animals with high attack power. Logically speaking, a demon that cultivated wouldn’t have such a strong killing intent. Mo Ran fought it for more than eighty rounds, and finally killed it under “seeing ghosts”. He cut open its stomach, and only then did he know the reason.
“That carp demon had a Wangshu Crystal in its abdomen.” Mo Ran smiled. “This crystal has been condensed with a thousand years of moonlight, and it’s a supreme-grade spirit stone. It’s used to refine weapons or cultivate spiritual cores, and it’s the best choice.”
Chu Wanning said, “She’s a butterfly bone beauty, why would she want this?”
“She said that she wanted it for her husband. Her husband has a fire spiritual core, but he’s been cultivating too quickly these years, and he’s in danger of going mad. Therefore, she didn’t hesitate to ask me to buy the Wangshu Crystal as a dowry, and bring it to her husband as a dowry to suppress his evil aura.”
Xue Meng nodded. “She wants her husband to be safe, and her heart is hard to come by.”
Mo Ran smiled. “Where did she get the money? Didn’t she just reach out and ask Confucian Wind Sect for it? She’s so pretty, and if she says a few words softly, which martial brother can refuse her? If it were you, would you? ”
Xue Meng immediately widened his eyes. “Don’t make it sound like I’m blinded by lust.”
“Don’t be angry, I’m just saying.” Mo Ran said, and returned the letter to Xue Meng………………………….. Mo…………….. “…………………..
Xue Meng was stunned. “File?”
….. ………………
“… No.” Xue Meng was a little anxious. “She’s getting married, and she’s asking you for spirit stones. It’s not like she’s asking you for free. She said that she’s willing to pay any price, and her intentions are sincere. Why don’t you sell it?”
………………………………….
……
“That’s right.” Mo Ran smiled and pointed at Dragon City’s saber at Xue Meng’s waist. He said, “Didn’t I give you a crystal a few years ago so that I could refine Dragon City for you? Dragon City is no longer what it used to be. If you use it well, it won’t be much different from Divine Martial. Why don’t you thank that carp spirit? ”
Xue Meng’s mouth fell open, and he couldn’t say anything for a long time.
“…”
He only knew that Mo Ran obtained a gem when he was traveling the world, but he never cared about the origins of the gem. He always held a grudge against Mo Ran. Regardless of whether he was an evil person or someone who had turned over a new leaf, he still held a hint of dissatisfaction and rejection.
Therefore, when his father said that the gem Mo Ran gave him could upgrade Dragon City, although he was grateful, he also felt very sullen. He felt that he had been treated well by his competitor for no reason, so he didn’t want to ask about it and directly asked his father to take Dragon City to the Snow Treading Palace to refine it.
Unexpectedly, Mo Ran gave him the priceless “Wangshu Crystal”. Xue Meng’s feelings became even more complicated. He couldn’t say what he was feeling.
After a long time, he said dryly, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.” Mo Ran smiled and waved his hand. “It’s just a coincidence.”
Xue Meng’s expression became even worse. He said stubbornly, “I’m not thanking you. I’m thanking that carp spirit who died. I’m thanking him. ”
“Hahahahaha, then don’t eat carp meat in the future. It’s a kindness.”
“Hmph!”
After joking around for a while, Mo Ran suddenly thought of something. His dimples deepened, and he asked, “By the way, I was so scared by you just now that I forgot to ask. Who’s Song Qiutong going to marry? She’s just a junior sister, but she’s actually able to make the Confucian Wind Sect send so many invitations. She’s amazing. Is she going to marry Jade Pool Mountain Villa? ”
“No.”
“Not Jade Pool Mountain Villa? I thought that the old villa master was so lecherous that the Confucian Wind Sect wanted to be on good terms with him, so they gave Song Qiutong to him, “Mo Ran said with a smile.” Then which sect is it? To be able to marry Confucian Wind Sect and make such a big fuss about it … It can’t be Snow Treading Palace, right? ”
“What are you thinking?!” Xue Meng glared at him. “Why does it have to be a marriage alliance?”
Mo Ran was stunned, and his smile froze. “Then who else could she be with?”
“Nangong Si, of course! Did you forget? Scholar Wind Sect’s Wild Horse Gongzi is of marriageable age. Song Qiutong is so beautiful, it’s not a loss to marry him … ”
Before he could finish muttering, Mo Ran suddenly stood up and said in shock, “Nangong Si?!”
Xue Meng was shocked. “What?”
“She … how could she be married to Nangong Si? How … “It was too shocking. Mo Ran was unable to calm down for a long time, and he muttered,” Nangong Si … ”
It was no wonder he had such a reaction.
It had to be known that at this time in his previous life, Nangong Si had already died of a serious illness!
All these years, he had wholeheartedly bowed his head in the chaos of war and didn’t pay attention to the affairs of the righteous sects. He didn’t have much interaction with the Confucian Wind Sect, so he naturally didn’t worry about it. Until now, when Xue Meng suddenly announced the marriage between Song Qiutong and Nangong Si, he suddenly realized —
Something was wrong.
Everything was wrong. The fate of this world had changed, and it didn’t only happen to him. Even the Confucian Wind Sect, which didn’t seem to want to close, had changed.
The person who should have entered the coffin long ago didn’t, and instead, the white matter became a red matter. He actually wanted to marry the empress of his previous life as his wife …
This news was somewhat frightening. He couldn’t swallow for a while, and he almost choked.
Also, was Nangong Si blind?! Why would he take a fancy to such a woman?
But what should be celebrated still had to be celebrated, and what should be given still had to be given. Since Sect Leader Nangong had delivered an invitation to him, how could he not go? The wedding banquet was set for the fifteenth of the month. Xue Zhengyong arranged all the affairs of the sect and handed them over to the two elders, Tanlang and Xuanji, and prepared to leave for Linyi.
Aside from him, Madame Wang, Xue Meng, and Mo Ran all had to attend due to etiquette in the cultivation world. In addition, Nangong Si specifically invited Chu Wanning, saying that when he was young, Chu Wanning received Elder Yu Heng’s advice and asked him to show up. Therefore, Chu Wanning also had to go.
“The Confucian Wind Sect is the number one sect today. Their young master is getting married, so I’m afraid all the influential figures in the world will come to celebrate.” Xue Zhengyong said, “The Peak of Life and Death usually doesn’t care about trifles, but in this kind of situation, we still have to follow the rules. We don’t want to make a fool of ourselves.”
Xue Meng asked, “What rules? I think I’m already following the rules. ”
Xue Zhengyong tugged at his hair bun and said, “You’re wearing the wrong headdress. You’re wearing a golden headdress.”
“What’s wrong with a golden headdress?”
Madame Wang smiled gently and said, “Meng ‘er, this is your first time attending a wedding banquet, so there are many things you don’t understand. Mother will tell you, so you better listen carefully. In the upper cultivation world, only the groom can wear a golden headdress. If you wear a golden headdress, you’ll be stealing the bride. You’ll make a big joke of yourself.”
Xue Meng’s face immediately flushed red. He stuttered, “Stealing the bride? No, no, no, I’m not stealing the bride. ”
Mo Ran made fun of him. “When the time comes, we’ll catch you and Miss Song and lock you in a small room. Are you scared?”
“You’re the one who’s going to be locked in a small room!” Xue Meng was both embarrassed and angry. “I won’t wear it!”
Xue Zhengyong said, “I see that you’re not very clear about the requirements of the wedding banquet guests’ attire. How about this, I’ll have someone make one for each of you. You can wear it when the time comes.”
He paused, especially looking at Chu Wanning, and asked tentatively, “Yu Heng, is that okay?”
Xue Zhengyong wasn’t afraid of the others. At most, he would just make fun of them. However, Chu Wanning was used to wearing white clothes. If he didn’t remind him, it wasn’t impossible for him to attend someone else’s wedding banquet dressed in white. At that time, Nangong Liu might be so angry that he vomited blood. If that happened, the Life and Death Summit and the Confucian Wind Sect would become enemies.
Chu Wanning said, “Okay.”
The night before they left, the wedding banquet clothes that Xue Zhengyong ordered for everyone arrived. These clothes were specially made by a tailor in Linyi that he had specially invited. The standards were strict, the stitches were dense, and the appearance was very beautiful. Even a picky person like Xue Meng nodded in satisfaction after receiving the clothes.
Mo Ran carried a stack of clean clothes and went up the Life and Death Summit’s South Peak. He entered the Red Lotus Water Pavilion and said loudly, “Shizun, Uncle asked me to bring these clothes to you.”
He walked to the side of the lotus pond and saw Chu Wanning practicing with his sword.
He remembered that Chu Wanning’s second weapon was a sword, but that sword was full of murderous aura and had the momentum to destroy heaven and earth. Chu Wanning never used it lightly. However, if the sword wasn’t sharpened, it wouldn’t be sharp, and if the sword wasn’t practiced, it wouldn’t be skillful. Even if the sword didn’t have a chance to be unsheathed, Chu Wanning would still take other swords and practice from time to time.
At this moment, the moonlight was chilly. Perhaps because he was too hot from practicing the sword, he took off his outer robe, leaving only a white silk inner robe on. The silk material swayed slightly with the evening wind, looking lively and elegant.
He didn’t wear his usual high ponytail, but instead tied up his hair into a neat high bun, making his face look particularly spirited and thinner. The long sword hummed, the blade was as sharp as snow. His posture of swordsmanship was firm yet gentle, his feet were tight and restrained. When the frost was pulled up, it was as light as a lotus reflecting on water. When the cold lightning was released, it was like a flood dragon breaking through the sky. Stretching and relaxing, retracting and releasing, it was all pointed at the best points. Mo Ran stood not far away and watched, but unexpectedly he couldn’t find a single flaw.
Suddenly, Chu Wanning’s eyebrows trembled. He pointed his long sword at the lotus pond and saw that the movement was swift and fierce. The ripples in the pond were divided into two by the sword’s aura. It was actually forced by the sword’s edge, and for a long time it didn’t come back together. It was the Saber Cutting the Water! He lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, his long body swept up, lightly and gracefully flying through the middle of the water ripples. He opened his arms, his white sleeves fluttering, and like an immortal, he floated to the pavilion on the opposite side of the pond.
“Shizun!”
Mo Ran was afraid that he would run far away if he swept away again, so he quickly chased after him to the pavilion and called out. The bright moon hung high in the sky, the night was slightly cold. The tall begonia tree beside the pavilion had white petals as gentle as snow floating down. Chu Wanning stepped on the sharp corner of the pavilion, the lapel of his robe was a little loose, letting in the jade-colored moonlight. He heard movement and lowered his head. His eyes were dark and bright. He was panting, his lips were red from the sword dance, so it was rare that he looked very gorgeous.
“Why are you here?”
The night wind blew the scattered strands of hair on his forehead. He narrowed his eyes.
“I’m here to give you clothes. Try it on and see if it fits.”
Chu Wanning lightly hummed. He suddenly remembered that Mo Ran was now respected by the world as a great master. After he woke up, he still hadn’t fought with him. He couldn’t help but feel moved. In a flash, he floated down with his sword in hand. He shouted in a low voice, “Try to see if you can catch my sword first!”
