The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 157
While speaking, he took out a thin bracelet. The bracelet shone brightly, made of mother-of-pearl from the East Sea and Xihe crystal from the Zhurong Mountain. It was obviously an expensive item.
“You wrote a letter asking for the carp crystal, but unfortunately, that crystal has already been taken by my cousin to make a sword. I didn’t prepare any other gift, so I bought this water-fire bracelet, it should fit you. ”
“This … this is too expensive, I’m afraid Qiutong can’t accept it …”
“How can you not accept a gift?” Mo Ran smiled, “Besides, the water-fire bracelet can also suppress fire power, but it’s only suitable for women. You can wear it and accompany Prince Nangong in the future, more or less, it can calm his spirit flow. It’s a practical item.”
Song Qiutong turned around and looked at Nangong Si. After getting the nod, he took the bracelet with both hands, bowed respectfully and said gently, “Thank you, Grandmaster Mo.”
The four drank tea, then sat and chatted for a while.
Chu Wanning was concerned about Nangong Si’s marriage, so he asked him to pay more attention to the details of the wedding ceremony, to make sure that everything was arranged properly, so that there wouldn’t be any problems.
Nangong Si finished his tea in two or three mouthfuls, then played with the empty cup in his hand, then smiled and said, “Grandmaster, don’t worry, I go every night. I’m not the same as when I was young anymore, I know that there are some things that should be taken care of. Yesterday, I found that Qiutong’s dress was missing a pearl, so I immediately asked someone to redo it. ”
When talking about the wedding ceremony, his usually unruly face actually showed some shyness.
He glanced at Qiutong, then smiled and said, “Qiutong will be very beautiful.”
When these words fell into the ears of Qiutong’s husband in her previous life, Mo Ran absent-mindedly poured himself another cup of tea. Of course, he knew that Qiutong was an outstanding beauty, but so what?
That year at Xuying Peak, the Emperor Ta married the first Empress of the Xiuzhen world. On the wedding night, the phoenix candles were shining brightly, but he did not stay in the bridal chamber.
That night he drank too much, and when the red candles were burning and the veil was falling down, he lifted the bride’s blushing face and stared at it for a while. Before the important ceremony of life, it was always easy for people to feel the vicissitudes of life. Even the Emperor Ta was no exception.
He suddenly felt that it was so unreal. His gaze seemed to pierce through the charming red in front of him and fall into the snowy sky many years ago.
When he was naked in the cold wind … When he was about to die of hunger and thirst, he was pitied and licked the rice soup that that person brought to him … When he first came to the peak of life and death, he was anxious … When he stood on tiptoe to pick begonias under the moonlight … When he knelt in front of Chu Wanning and was touched by the willow vines …
He had never thought that there would be a day when he would trample over all the immortals and become the ruler of the world.
“Husband, what are you thinking about?” Her red lips slightly opened, her eyes focused, and the breath she exhaled was sweet and extravagant, just like his high status today.
He seemed to have everything, beauty, status, power …
What was there to be dissatisfied with?
He couldn’t think of anything to be dissatisfied with, but he felt very empty. His whole person seemed to be standing on the peak of a steep mountain, surrounded by only a few faces, blurred and indistinct.
He walked through these flattering faces, they praised him, they knelt in front of him, they fawned over him, they all had the same face.
He heard someone calling him charmingly, her voice was soft like peony petals, “Husband … husband …”
He felt disgusted, he felt disgusted, he wanted to get away from this tide of fans, but this sweet voice wrapped around him like sugar water.
He suddenly pushed Song Qiutong away, the charming bride couldn’t resist the force, she fell on the scarlet red bed of the bridal chamber, her head full of gold and silver ornaments trembling, her footsteps swaying, in the illusion of jewelry, Mo Ran felt that everything was so distorted, so unreal, the golden light was like a will-o ‘-the-wisp, the bright red candles were like tears of blood.
He felt so disgusted … but he didn’t know who he was disgusted with, Song Qiutong? Or did he become like this?
He rushed out of the door.
In his previous life, few people in the world knew that on the day of the Emperor Ta’s wedding, Empress Song Qiutong was neglected, Mo Ran, dressed in a red and gold robe, pushed open the door of the Red Lotus Water Pavilion.
He walked in, and after a while, the candles in the pavilion were extinguished, Song Qiutong’s new husband stayed in there for the entire night.
Until the evening of the second day, when Xue Meng rushed to the peak of life and death to cause trouble, Mo Ran lazily opened the door, tidied up his messy clothes, and walked to the front hall with a satisfied face.
What happened in the Red Lotus Water Pavilion that night was completely unknown to outsiders.
After saying goodbye to Nangong Si, Chu Wanning and Mo Ran returned to the courtyard where they were staying.
Chu Wanning suddenly asked, “Just now, Nangong said that Qiutong was beautiful, why were you staring at her in a daze?”
Mo Ran said, “I was thinking about how she would look in her wedding dress.”
Chu Wanning suddenly felt a burst of jealousy. He flicked his sleeve and his expression was extremely cold. “Don’t think about indecent things. She is someone else’s fiancée. What do you have to think about?”
Mo Ran smiled. “Who said I was thinking about her? I was thinking about how she would look in her wedding gown. I’m not even half as good as Master. ”
“…”
She had a stomach full of anger and wanted to vent, but she was caught off guard and had her palm licked by the little wolfdog.
Chu Wanning’s face alternated between red and white. For a long time, he couldn’t say a single decent word. Finally, he waved his sleeve and said, “Ghost Emcee’s illusion is a ridiculous matter. From now on, don’t mention it again.”
Mo Ran sighed in his heart. I didn’t want to mention it, but you asked me. I didn’t want to lie to you. I praised you for your good looks, but you still scolded me.
But being yelled at by you makes me feel very sweet.
When I think about how I lost you, I feel like being scolded by you for the rest of my life is like being soaked in a jar of sugar. Chu Wanning …
What should I do? I can’t stop myself from longing for you.
The days passed very quickly. There was only one more day before Nangong Si’s wedding.
The Confucian Wind Sect was already filled with guests from all over the world. Regardless of whether it was the sect masters or the young masters of the large sects, the individual cultivators of the Jianghu, or even some rich merchants without spiritual power, everyone who didn’t arrive early was in front of the main city of Xianji on this day. For a time, there were luxurious canopies, carriages, and horses. There was an endless stream of men and women dressed in splendid attire. The silks and pearls on their bodies reflected the light of the Confucian Wind Sect.
Xue Meng was dragged by her father to greet the female cultivators around her age.
“Master Wang Xian, long time no see. Nice to meet you. Oh, isn’t this Little Mantuo? You’ve already grown up. You’re so beautiful. Come, Xue Meng, come and say hello to your Uncle Wang. ”
Xue Meng moved over unwillingly and said, “Hello, Uncle Wang.”
Xue Zhengyong slapped the back of his head. He smiled, but gritted his teeth and said, “It’s Uncle Wang, not Uncle Wang.”
“Hahaha, you’re the same. You’re the same. You’re really handsome. Old Xue, you’re so lucky.”
After a while, Xue Meng was pushed to stroll in the garden with “Little Mantuo”. Little Mantuo was 16 years old this year. She was 16 years old, but she seemed a little cold. After walking side by side with Xue Meng for a while, she said, “Young Master Xue, I’m sure you understand why the elders pushed us out together.”
“Yes.”
“But I’ll say this first. We can take a stroll, but I don’t like Young Master Xue’s temperament. So don’t think about anything else. ”
“Oh … Hmm?”
Xue Meng was shocked. He suddenly stopped and waited for Little Mantuo with a dark expression.
Little Mantuo raised her chin arrogantly. She looked at Xue Meng’s face and said coldly, “I already have someone in my heart. Even if you’re in love with me …”
“Are you crazy?!” Xue Meng exploded. “Me?” He pointed at himself with his finger, his face full of shock. “Fall in love with you?”
“Otherwise, why did you pull me along a deserted path? Don’t tell me you’re not guilty? ”
“Why don’t you say you’re the one with a hole in your brain?!”
Xue Meng’s temper flared up. He was furious, and his eyes were burning with anger. He kept repeating, “I like you? I like you? I — ”
“Why did you say you like me so many times? You lecher! “Little Mantuo was very unyielding. She stomped her foot, raised her head, and slapped Xue Meng’s face.
Xue Meng was already so angry that he felt dizzy. After being slapped by this little hand for no reason, he almost vomited blood. If Madam Wang hadn’t taught him to be courteous to women, he probably would have pressed Little Mantuo to the ground and beaten her into a flower.
At this time, a man with light eyes and a high nose came from the distance. When Little Mantuo saw him, she was stunned at first. Then, tears filled her eyes. She said, “Young Master Mei!” She ran towards the man.
The man who came was Mei Hanxue. He didn’t expect that he would meet someone else on such a remote path. He was obviously stunned for a moment. However, he saw Little Mantuo flying towards him. He raised his hand and a barrier fell from the sky. With a bang, the girl was blocked outside. The girl was caught off guard and hit the barrier with the power of thunder and lightning. She cried out in alarm and fell to the ground.
Mei Hanxue didn’t plan to help her. He looked down at her and frowned. “Girl, you’ve got the wrong person.”
“How could it be wrong? How could it be wrong … “That year, you promised me a golden sachet and said that you would never forget it after seeing me. When I was eighteen, you would marry me. Have you forgotten?”
Mei Hanxue, “…”
“Young Master Mei …”
“You’ve really got the wrong person.” Mei Hanxue didn’t say anything more. He just shook his head and left such a sentence. He walked past the girl with tears in her eyes.
When Xue Meng saw this scene, he felt both angry and relieved.
He was angry because of Mei Hanxue, this romantic seed. He really didn’t recognize people when he put on his pants. It was no wonder that he only dared to walk on this kind of occasion.
It was good to vent his anger because he didn’t expect that Little Mantuo would actually like Mei Hanxue. Mei Hanxue was the same as his name, flowery and heartless. It was said that before and after hooking up with a woman, they were two completely different faces. Little Mantuo fell in love with him, that was really bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Mei Hanxue walked in front of him, narrowed his light-colored glass-like eyes, and looked at him sideways for a moment.
Xue Meng thought to himself, what are you looking at? You actually dare to look at me like that? You’re famous all over the world. My name is famous in the Nine Regions. I can’t lose in momentum.
So he proudly raised his head and swept Mei Hanxue with the tail of his eyes like an idiot. He was prepared to let out a rather dignified and disdainful snort when the two of them completely crossed shoulders.
“Why is your face swollen?”
Unexpectedly, Mei Hanxue walked halfway and stopped. Her footsteps stopped and she stood in front of him. She looked at him indifferently from a distance.
“It’s quite swollen.”
Xue Meng couldn’t catch his breath, but he still couldn’t stop the car. He proudly snorted.
Mei Hanxue, “…”
“…” Xue Meng’s face quickly turned red. He fiercely turned his head and murderously said, “Why do you care about me? I accidentally fell when I was walking! ”
“Then you should watch when you walk in the future.” Mei Hanxue calmly said, “It’s not easy to fall like this.”
After saying that, she left, leaving Xue Meng standing in place for a long time. Then she angrily stomped her feet and said, “Mei Hanxue! You dog hair grandson! You, you just wait for me! You and I are irreconcilable! ”
After suffering a stomach full of grievances, Xue Meng ran out of the garden with red eyes. He ran too fast and unexpectedly bumped into a person’s chest.
Xue Meng was furious and scolded, “What the hell! Don’t you have eyes when you walk? ”
When she looked up, she saw a tall and confident man dressed in green. His clothes were embroidered with the pattern of Du Ruo embroidered with golden silk thread. His head was tied with a green jade crown of Lonemoon Night. His two curtains of long and soft eyelashes covered his eyes. When he looked up, there was a hazy Jiangnan drizzle. What a captivating face.
The man pushed Xue Meng away and straightened his clothes. He seemed to be in a bad mood. His slender fingers smoothed out the wrinkles in front of his lapel. Xue Meng saw the black tortoise back pattern silver ring on his index finger. He was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he was shocked. “Jiang Xi?”
Lonemoon Night’s head, the richest person in the world, Jiang Xi!
This person’s age was about the same as Xue Zhengyong’s, but his mental cultivation method was different. Jiang Xi’s appearance was also in his twenties. This person was rich and noble, and his appearance was also extremely beautiful. He was truly the darling of the heavens.
During the Soul Mountain Conference, Jiang Xi was absent from the ten heads. At that time, Xue Meng was still thinking about it. He wondered what this absent fellow looked like. Today, when he saw him, he couldn’t help but be shocked. He stared at him fiercely.
Jiang Xi’s face was calm, but he didn’t have a good temper. “Is the name of the head of a sect something you can call? Ridiculous. ”
When Xue Meng heard this, he only felt that the humiliation was a hundred times worse than what Mei Hanxue had just suffered. He immediately said angrily, “What’s wrong? You’re old and you don’t allow others to call you by your name? Do I have to call you Sect Master Immortal Monarch? Nangong Liu isn’t as arrogant as you are! ”
“How unruly!” Jiang Xi said coldly. “Whose disciple are you?”
“Why should I answer when you ask? Who do you think you are? Those monkeys in the Lonely Moon Night listen to your orders. Do you think I have to pay you? I won’t tell you! I think you’re just a — ”
“Meng ‘er!”
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded. Xue Meng suddenly shut his mouth. He moved away from Jiang Xi and looked behind him.
At some point, Madam Wang had come over. She probably heard Xue Meng’s unruly words just now, so her face was pale and anxious. She quickly stopped him and said, “Meng ‘er, don’t talk anymore. Come here. Come to Mother’s side.”
Xue Meng fiercely glared at Jiang Xi again. He shook his hand and walked toward Madam Wang. He respectfully bowed his head and said, “Mother.”
Jiang Xi stood in place for a while, then slowly turned around and narrowed her eyes. That pair of beautiful eyes, however, flashed with a malicious light.
He looked at the mother and son beside the white wall and said coldly, “Oh, this is God’s favored one, Xue Zhengyong’s good son, Xue Meng, right?”
Madam Wang was speechless.
Jiang Xi’s eyelashes trembled for a moment. He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were full of mockery. “As expected of Xue Zhengyong’s son. How well-mannered.”
“Don’t insult my father!”
“Meng ‘er!” Madam Wang immediately grabbed him and pulled him behind her. Then, with a pale face, she curtsied to Jiang Xi. “My son, Xue Meng, is used to being willful. Please don’t take offense, Sect Master Jiang.”
“Ha, Sect Master Jiang …” Jiang Xi was like a poisonous snake. He slowly swallowed the words between his wet lips and teeth. Then, he said, “It’s okay. He has at least half of your blood in him. Based on seniority, I can take him as my god-nephew … ”
“Who wants to be your god-nephew! Why don’t you take a look at your ugly face? Scram! ”
“Meng ‘er …”
Jiang Xi smiled coldly. He stared at Xue Meng for a moment. Then, his eyes slowly moved to Madam Wang. Madam Wang lowered her eyes and said, “Please don’t joke with me, Sect Master. I am no longer Lonemoon’s disciple. How can I still talk about seniority with you?”
“… Okay.” Jiang Xi nodded and said coldly, “Good, very good. Today, I have seen an old friend and her son. It’s really an eye-opener for me. I don’t know how people are raised in this filthy place at the Peak of Life and Death. How can a good magnolia be stained with mud? ”
“Jiang Xi! You f * cking say that again! I’ll tear your mouth apart! ”
When Xue Meng heard this person insult his mother in front of him, blood immediately rushed to his head. He wanted to charge forward without a care for anything else. Madam Wang couldn’t hold him back. Just as the situation was about to get out of control, a loud sound suddenly rang out in the sky. A bright firework exploded, and bells and drums rumbled. The Confucian Wind Sect’s singing official used a sound amplification technique to spread a sentence across the 72 cities in an instant.
“The Hundred Families’ Welcome Banquet will begin at the Hall of Poetry in the evening. We respectfully invite all distinguished guests to attend —”
Jiang Xi glanced coldly at Xue Meng, flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
