Free Web NovelLi Mo led Ice Cube by her small hand, leaving Fengyue Small Building, and all the guests who saw them along the way were stunned.
Bringing such a Heavenly Immortal-like beauty to a brothel, you're amazing, kid, you've got moves.
The scattered guests in the lobby all wanted to pull their hands away from the girls and give Li Mo a '666' (thumbs up).
The two returned to Buyun Tower, leaving no trace of a cloud.
But at the same time, the small courtyard of Fengyue Small Building fell into dead silence, and everyone's hearts were in disarray.
How was this not a form of crashing the party?
A beauty like Hua Nongying would stir up such desires in a man's heart: why isn't this beauty mine?
Han Xianzi was different.
She possessed the kind of beauty that made one feel unworthy to even glance at her.
Dressed in men's clothing, she was exquisitely peerless, with skin like ice and bones like jade. What was terrifying was that she wore no makeup; instead, she was like a lotus emerging from ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) clear water, because cosmetics on that face would only be like drawing feet on a snake.
The moment Han Xianzi appeared...
Hua Nongying... seemed to instantly become ordinary.
Of course, this was their feeling, as human perception mainly comes from comparison; if you haven't seen a woman for too long, you might even think that Blue Rabbit is bubbling with beauty.
“Wang Qi Dou Hun, he... what virtue or ability does he possess?”
“It's over, gentlemen, I feel like I won't be interested in coming to Fengyue Small Building for pleasure anymore recently.”
“Now even the courtesan queen looks like a common harlot...”
“How could she come to a brothel with a man?”
“This Li fellow truly deserves to die!”
All the guests lost their interest, and even felt that their frantic spending earlier was truly foolish. One by one, they got up and left, not even bothering to look for other girls.
From then until now, Hua Nongying's mouth had been slightly agape, yet she couldn't utter a single word.
She had considered it.
To get Li Mo hooked, should she sacrifice a little of her beauty? As long as he didn't completely take her.
If this God Hammer Little Overlord truly became Qianlong First in the future, and reached even greater heights, she wouldn't be unable to commit herself to him, becoming the wife of a strong man.
To put it bluntly, Li Mo made her, this 'sea queen,' consider coming ashore.
But at the very least, she could obtain a complete poem from him, which would be renowned for a thousand generations.
She had calculated everything very well, very clearly.
But she never calculated that Ying Bing would be sitting beside Li Mo from beginning to end.
Nor did she calculate that...
Just one glance at Han Xianzi, and the pride of being surrounded by men like stars, her self-perceived national beauty, along with her calculations, were shattered.
The pressure was too strong, so strong that she dared not be presumptuous.
“He truly isn't playing hard to get.”
“He genuinely disdains me...”
Hua Nongying was distraught, as if broken, and seemed not to hear even her maid's calls.
“...”
Xie Xuan's mood was incredibly complex.
He felt a little heartache, and then suddenly a little clarity; when the filter over Hua Nongying shattered, he began to doubt if he truly loved her.
There was a song that perfectly suited his state of mind.
‘If one day love no longer confuses, enough to see all right and wrong clearly.’
‘Until that time, you in my heart, will no longer be praised.’
‘Treating you as a Heavenly Immortal, will no longer be me~’
...Meanwhile, a bronze carriage drove from Fengyue Small Building towards Buyun Tower.
Along the way, it was still unimaginably prosperous and incomparably extravagant.
Walking on the Inner City streets, you could instantly distinguish between Dijin people and outsiders, and Outer City people, because their clothing style, like the three blue and white porcelain vase-like buildings, carried a slightly exaggerated grandeur.
But Li Mo looked at the magnificent scene before him and no longer found it particularly beautiful.
He had a strange feeling.
Dijin, in his eyes, was like an apple with a bright and glossy exterior, but its interior was already rotten and unbearable, even emitting a nauseating stench.
“The Outer City is still more comfortable.”
Back at Buyun Tower, Li Mo stretched.
“Ice Cube, tonight...”
“Sir Li, this servant is tired today.”
“...”
Li Mo was stunned, realizing that at some point, the small hand he had held for so long had slipped from his grasp. Ice Cube had returned to her room alone, giving him a wistful look at the end.
Slam—
The door was slowly closed.
Sure enough, she was still not happy... Li Mo frowned, beginning to ponder what exactly went wrong. He recalled when Ice Cube first started rubbing the boy with a large head... it seemed, that was exactly when he wrote that line of poetry?
Dancing with a clear shadow, how is it like in the human world... it just happened to include Hua Nongying's name... “Li Mo, oh Li Mo.” freewebnσvel.cøm
Xiao Li pointed at himself, then returned to his room and released his Taiyin Intent Soul.
Buzz—
A strange and mysterious fluctuation connected to Taiyin.
“Communal Moon”... activated!
But the mysterious fluctuation had barely surged before it abruptly cut off.
It was as if a video call had been hung up.
“...”
Li Mo, helpless, had no choice but to take out paper and pen and begin to write.
Although he found copying poetry to show off awkward now, he had once fantasized about it.
He never expected it would be in this situation... In Qianlong Third's room.
The top three's rooms, located on the true top floor of Buyun Tower, offered a different kind of scenery. Living there felt like being in the clouds, facing the starry sky, where one could reach out and pluck stars.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery, Ying Bing, sitting on the bed, had no mind to appreciate it.
She wasn't actually angry.
It was just that seeing Hua Nongying sending him flirtatious glances, a restless feeling surged in her heart, as if she were being roasted over a fire.
Yet, the more she was roasted, the colder she became.
Especially when she heard that line of poetry.
Could it be that Li Mo truly wrote it for Hua Nongying?
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
No matter how intelligent Ice Cube was, she was a fool when it came to love. She found herself becoming a bit silly, unable to figure out such questions.
She also felt that she had become petty; previously, everything except the Martial Dao was irrelevant to her, but now she couldn't help but overthink things, and the more she couldn't understand, the more she couldn't stop thinking about it.
Therefore, she 'escaped' back to her room alone.
Therefore, she dared not answer his “Communal Moon”... Ying Bing took out tea leaves, wanting to drink a cup of tea to calm down.
But at this moment, she suddenly noticed something being slipped through the crack of the tightly closed door.
Ice Cube cautiously walked over, only to find... it was a piece of paper.
Moreover, the handwriting on it was very familiar.
“Prelude to Water Tune, When Will the Bright Moon Appear?”
【Author: You don't know him.】
“When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup and ask the sky.
I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace.
I wish to ride the wind and return, yet I fear the jade towers and palaces, being too high and cold.
Dancing with a clear shadow, how is it like in the human world?”
“It turns to the vermilion pavilion, lowers to the silken windows, shining on the sleepless.
It should bear no grudge, why is it always full at times of separation?
People have joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, the moon has its waxing and waning, this has been so since ancient times.
May we all live long, and share the beauty of the moon, though a thousand miles apart.”
It was the complete version of the poem from earlier.
Its meaning, placed in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, was not difficult to understand.
And it seemed... a bit fitting?
The bright moon should not bear resentment towards people, right? Otherwise, why is the moonlight so full at this particular moment?
