Free Web NovelChapter 1614: Chapter 10: Broken Willow Branches_3
"..." Xiu Yuan suddenly felt like he was playing the lute to a cow, and simply said, "Don’t just drink, have some food."
Jiang Wang obediently picked up a crescent-shaped fruit wrapped in silver sand and put it in his mouth.
He initially wanted to ask what rare materials the burden bird had on it, but as soon as he took a bite, a mouthful of fragrance filled his mouth and he immediately forgot.
"Hmm, not bad." Lord Jiang tried to keep his tone as natural as possible, not to make a fuss: "Marshal Xiu, where can I buy this kind of fruit?"
He calculated in his mind that, with his current salary, he could definitely afford a few pounds to let An’an taste.
He had missed An’an’s birthday again this year, so he had to find some good food to make up for it, no matter how expensive it was worth it.
"It’s called ’Moon Sand.’ " Xiu Yuan said casually, "It’s produced beyond the gate of all demons, beloved by the Fox Clan, regarded as a sacred fruit. It doesn’t exist in the present world, and it can’t be cultivated."
"Uh... oh."
"If you like it, eat more." Xiu Yuan said casually while holding a wine glass, "It does taste very good. I always make a special effort to find some every time I go to the gate of all demons."
Even as he said this, he just took another sip of wine.
"A very rare taste." Jiang Wang casually grabbed a handful and popped one into his mouth.
Learning the cultivation technique in someone else’s carriage, drinking their fine wine, eating their fruit, and packing it all up to go is something this unparalleled genius naturally wouldn’t do, but holding a handful of fruit in one’s hand and taking a while to finish eating shouldn’t be an issue, right?
Walking and eating shouldn’t be a problem either.
If there were some left and accidentally taken home, that would also be reasonable.
Since there were leftovers at the end, leaving them for his sister to eat later shouldn’t cause any gossip, right?
In his world of logic, Jiang Qingyang stood undefeated.
But Xiu Yuan stopped talking.
With Xiu Yuan’s silence, Jiang Wang immediately felt awkward.
Holding a handful of Moon Sand in his hand, he was reluctant to eat it, but not eating seemed strange.
After considering it, he decided to grit his teeth and eat, but that also seemed somewhat conspicuous.
Truly, thinking it over and over, it was all torment...
"It’s raining." Xiu Yuan suddenly said.
It was only then that Jiang Wang realized that at some point... the screams from the execution ground had already ceased.
The carriage started moving again, silently leaving the place.
Xiu Yuan looked up, and a skylight on the carriage’s roof automatically opened.
Red raindrops were seen falling gently from the sky, descending upon the human world.
The True Man departs from this world, the heavens weep blood... mourning along with us.
The carriage traversed through the bustling Eastern Region’s Linyi City, Xiu Yuan remained silent, and so did Jiang Wang. In the distance, from an unknown direction, a faint song was heard.
The song sang —
"Tonight again, breaking a long willow. Yue E pours leftover wine into the cup..."
"Light paper older, joyful emotions penetrate. Tear stains are even thinner than Qinghua..."
Jiang Wang thought, perhaps he heard wrong.
In these days, music wasn’t allowed in the city.
...

2, The draft should have been accumulated, and I should be starting to add more Chapters to repay my debt. But there have been too many things lately, and nothing has been left.
