Chapter 10, A Bag of Wine and a Sack of Rice

Orenest could not understand anything at all; he only knew that this group of people was mumbling something like fools

Especially those eyes are so profound

"This, wait a moment, let me recall." Zou Liang tapped his head, and this action elicited a burst of laughter from the crowd

Avril's complexion also appeared somewhat unpleasant, which was due to Caron being so unyielding. Of course, calling Ernest over was indeed her oversight; such an occasion was somewhat inappropriate.

There are only two weeks left until the first semester exams. Regardless of the circumstances, one must prepare for it. After the exams, there will be a month-long break for the Spring Festival during the Beast God Festival. With so many people and distractions at school, many things are inconvenient. This holiday will be a time for him and Ernest to make a splendid transformation.

Thank you for your hospitality. Arthur gestured to Avril with a slight bow, indicating that it was not necessary to see him off, yet Avril still followed, her expression complex

Avril would never believe it, "If the hospitality is lacking, Avril will certainly make amends"

Such exquisite words must have been copied from somewhere

There are joys and sorrows, partings and reunions in life; the moon has its phases of brightness and darkness. I only wish for enduring companionship, sharing the beauty of the moon across a thousand miles

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter at the foolishness of the two brothers, instantly dissipating the atmosphere of a well-crafted poem

Zou Liang leisurely wiped his mouth and said, "I have eaten and drunk, and I have not read many books myself. However, since this is a book club, I have a poem here, composed by my brother, who is just a wine sack and rice bag, during his dreams. If it is not well composed, please do not laugh at it."

As the words began, the expressions of disdain from the crowd vanished; by the middle, they were completely absorbed in thought, and by the end, the astonishment on their faces was impossible to conceal

Indeed, it is a hard truth that being well-fed is of utmost importance. My father often says that the primary task is to fill one's stomach

When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the azure sky. I do not know what year it is in the celestial palace tonight. I wish to ride the wind to return, yet I fear the jade towers and crystal palaces are too high and cold to endure. I dance to play with the clear shadows, how does it compare to being on earth! The vermilion pavilion turns, the ornate windows lower, illuminating the sleepless. There should be no hatred, when will we think of the time when we part and the moon is full? People have their joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon has its phases of brightness and darkness, this matter has been difficult to achieve since ancient times. I only wish for people to live long, sharing the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart.

No, it is because they are relatively foolish, so we are full while they still have to go hungry

In the past, while he was practicing the horse stance, he was thinking about how to take shortcuts, but Ernest was contemplating how to train meticulously according to the rules set by his elder brother in the manual.

Hmph, a dog's mouth cannot produce ivory. Whether it is fabricated or improvised, if you can recite a complete poem, I will not utter a single word during the salon; otherwise, you will disappear immediately

Perhaps it is hungry

Brother, what happened to them

What can Avril say

To be honest, she really finds it a bit difficult to understand

Onisete is quite innocent, while Zou Liang finds himself at a loss for words. This is a completely unfamiliar world; aside from the moon resembling the one on Earth, it is unexpected that a group of beastmen possesses such sentiments. The most striking aspect is how similar it is to his past life. Amidst the shock, the composed Zou cannot help but lose his composure a little.

"Let the butler take you." Avril did not know how to respond, as some words felt inappropriate on the tip of her tongue

Arthur is truly a person of mystery.

The laughter of the two brothers was exceptionally cheerful; in fact, isn't this what life is all about? The two of them walked down the street with their arms around each other's shoulders, striding with a carefree gait. Zou Liang felt an immense sense of ease; this was the life he desired

The artistic conception is too lofty!

The entire hall was enveloped in complete silence, a realm of words that could transcend both ancient and modern times. Everyone had completely forgotten where they were, and the phrases repeatedly murmured by the librarian seemed to carry a different flavor with each utterance

It is all my fault for consuming everything

"Vivi, who on earth is this person? People experience joy and sorrow, separation and reunion; the moon has its phases of brightness and darkness. It encapsulates the vicissitudes of life, and I feel like crying," Beiji asked, her voice slightly choked.

This is a masterful work, unmatched in the world today

"After the meal, we can just walk back." Zou Liang waved his hand from a distance, and the figures of the large and small gradually faded away.

In the morning, Ernest still got up to practice his horse stance as usual. After only a short while yesterday, he felt soreness in his waist and legs, but after a good sleep, he had mostly recovered. This surprised Zou Liang, who recalled that in the past, it would take him several days to recover after practicing for just a little while.

... ...

Zou Liang observed the changes in the expressions of everyone present, but his attention was particularly drawn to Avril's transformation, which indeed left him feeling somewhat uneasy. However, upon reflection, he realized that he had been taking advantage of the situation by enjoying the benefits without contributing, thereby disrupting the atmosphere. Yet, to leave in such a manner after being humiliated felt rather unjust.

It's fine, they need to maintain their figure. Having eaten enough, let's go back

These two foolish boys have actually formed a relationship with Miss Avril, how fortunate they are

"What is real and what is fake? I don't understand. I saw this in a book, but I can't do it, haha." Zou Liang said half-seriously, half-jokingly. Old Su's poem is one of the few that he can recite from memory.

Kalon felt that he had just appeared somewhat fierce, and quickly reined it in a bit; however, he still hoped that such disruptive elements would vanish soon, as they hindered his noble demeanor

Alright

The morning exercise time quickly came to an end. Upon arriving in the classroom, Arthur and Ernest suddenly noticed something was amiss, as there was surprisingly no customary teasing, which left both of them feeling somewhat out of place

Arthur briefly guided Ernest, while he himself was enthusiastically driving the little mouse within him to scurry about. This sensation of having mastered a magical power was truly wonderful

"Polite, polite, Ernest has gone home"

Kalon's face turned ashen, "Vivi, next time in such occasions, do not let such good-for-nothings in, it ruins everyone's mood"

In comparison, Kalona is nothing more than a trivial distraction, akin to children's play.

In fact, Classmate Zou was merely reminded of the scene where his strict Chinese teacher insisted he memorize texts, and he thought to himself, "Goodness, it's finally gone for good." Suddenly, he realized he should thank him, otherwise today he would truly embarrass himself

Avril's mind was completely occupied by that song. Upon returning to the hall, she found that others were also enchanted, and it would be one thing if those who did not understand or love the lyrics and melody were affected, but the unfortunate reality was that they all understood.

Arthur is indifferent; it is evident that yesterday's events have spread. In any world, the speed of gossip always prevails.

Avril actually felt that the lyrics were unique from the very beginning, and upon hearing the complete version, she was overwhelmed with a desire to cry

Zou Liang sneered coldly in his heart. If you were to engage in something else, you would truly be cowardly, merely making some sarcastic remarks to brush it off. However, in this format, it would be easy to play them to their demise, so I made a slight adjustment to the translation.

The people in the class whispered among themselves, occasionally casting strange glances at the pair of brothers, as if a flower had sprouted on their heads

The beautiful women present were completely captivated

"Elder brother, are you reciting a spell? How is it that as soon as you speak, they become foolish? Can it be used in battle?" Ernest asked curiously

Indeed, the Riptide family is one of the most prominent families in our Jerusalem, tsk tsk, fools have their own blessings

The Bill tribe is known for its foolishness; otherwise, the saying "foolish Bill" would not exist. Even if they were to memorize a poem, it would indeed pose a certain level of difficulty for them
