Chapter 3, The Yellow Millet Dreaming of Worry-Free Wine

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The sword-bearing man twitched the corner of his mouth and slowly lowered the raised wine jar

However, the timid Qian'er, with her small grain of courage, is always the first to be frightened to tears, squatting on the ground with her ears covered, turning her back to her young lady and Brother Rong.

As spring gives way to autumn, that young lad always seems to come up with a myriad of playful ideas, leading the young lady and Qian'er to run around and frolic in the garden throughout the year

I remember that young boy who always liked to bring along two "little followers" to play downstairs

Why should I help you? You are a useless person with a weak constitution, inherently deficient, and your meridians are blocked. No matter what cultivation method you practice, it will be in vain and will not catch my eye at all

In the morning, the young lady went out wearing a white dress, and in the evening, she returned in a black dress, inevitably facing a lecture from Aunt Liu.

Puh ~ '' The tea in Zhao Rong's mouth was completely sprayed out ... ...

Someone spoke behind.

The Cheng'en Building is only open to distinguished guests during visits or on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, and the elders in the household have always prohibited children from climbing high.

The young lady has a very quiet temperament, but when she is with that obnoxious boy, she becomes extremely lively

Thus, what is hidden in the tallest building in the world became one of the greatest mysteries in the minds of those three young children.

It was originally that little rascal who learned the tricks from the older children outside, and later taught them to the young lady and Qian'er, so the three of them often came to play together

The sword-bearing man feigned ignorance, merely tightening his grip on the sword in his embrace, returning to his original position, tilting his head back, and drinking heartily from the fine wine

The sword-bearing man suddenly dropped the wine jar and stood up with his sword in hand

However, the next day, it was lively and bouncing, following him and finding various ways to run outside

Whenever he finished the drink in his hand, he would gently throw the wine jar out of the window. He would then casually pick up another jar.

Then, there was the engagement between the young lady and him when he was twelve years old

Three children enjoy picking up the shards of wine jars from downstairs and skipping stones by the lakeside

Xuanhuang Realm

As if the tall old man behind did not exist at all

A solitary man is drinking deeply with his head tilted back

Is this world called Xuanhuang? Zhao Rong pondered. And what about Qianjing, why is it surprised by the character Qian?

This building and garden, from the moment of their completion, have been the subject of much admiration among the powerful elite of Qianjing, yet they represent merely a part of the utmost imperial favor enjoyed by the Zhao family since establishing their dukedom.

On the roof of Cheng'en Tower

However, in this generation, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family is already married, while the well-renowned second daughter of the Zhao family has now chosen to take in a husband...

Do not rush, one bite at a time when eating. Although I may seem useless at the moment, this is only temporary. Later, you should check my body to see if there are any hidden rare constitutions, such as the Primordial Sacred Body or the Nine Yang Absolute Veins. Then, please earnestly find a top-tier cultivation method suitable for me, preferably one that you painstakingly acquired during your peak period but unfortunately cannot cultivate yourself, an unparalleled foundational cultivation technique!

The sword-bearing man lifted the wine jar in his hand and suddenly smiled brightly: "Seventeen years ago, when I first arrived at the Zhao residence, I personally buried the daughter red for the young lady. It has now been exactly seventeen years. Old man, would you like to take a sip?"

It is also the tallest building in the western city of Qianjing.

Initially, the one who could bounce the most was certainly that young man, but later on, as the young lady and Qian'er gradually cultivated their skills, the number of times they could bounce naturally increased.

Huangliang Wangyou Wine

In the end, I didn't feel it was much of a pity; I just felt a bit of heartache for my half pot of wine. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have given it away

When did it start to change

In spring, riding a bamboo pole horse to the back mountain to pick green plums, dig bamboo shoots, make fishing rods, and catch fish and shrimp; in summer, using a wooden slingshot obtained from an unknown source to go into the woods to shoot birds, climb trees, collect bird eggs, and catch cicadas; in autumn, taking a cloth bag to the countryside outside the city to pick fruits, play house, play hide and seek, and fly kites. In winter, with little hands frozen red, making snowmen, cutting paper, setting off firecrackers, and lighting fireworks

Once the three children began to understand the distinctions between genders and the associated social norms, they no longer maintained the same innocent camaraderie as before

That graceful figure hurried away, faster and faster, in the pitch-black night, as if trying to escape from something terrifying

Later, that obnoxious boy learned some nonsensical Confucian teachings, and thus became even more tedious, constantly speaking in archaic phrases and quoting the sages.

Zhao Rong suddenly felt a strong desire to "go home"

I am currently just a good-for-nothing who relies on others, with no cultivation whatsoever. How could I possibly be aware of matters concerning the people on Mount Wangque?

Return: `` ... ... ''

Because he saw a figure in a red dress walking out from the dimly lit house, which he had been staring at intently.

The tall elder fell silent for a moment, then dropped the words "This shall not be repeated" before turning and walking away slowly

I believe that with your knowledge and experience to assist my intelligence, I will surely crush my enemies and rise rapidly. At that time, whether it is to help you reshape your physical form or to make up for past regrets, it will be a piece of cake!

The tall elder approached the sword-bearing man, gazed into his eyes, and continued, "What kind of wine is that?"

Hehe, you little rascal, how could it be a grievance for you to be able to marry into my family's young lady!

A century ago, the ancestors of the Zhao family assisted Emperor Taizu of the Xiang family in establishing the nation. Taizu, with a smile, said: "Can my descendants marry your daughters?" For the next hundred years, the two families intermarried generation after generation

The tall old man continued to stare at him, his expression unchanged, and repeated, "What kind of wine is that?"

After pondering for a moment, he added: "What about the Weiran Sect? Is it still the foremost sect of the Wangque?"

He sighed again and said: "I still cannot understand why it chose you. Your wife’s aptitude for cultivation is thousands of times better than yours, and she could even be compared to the one from back then... cough, even that girl just now would be fine. If it were them, I would definitely lend my full support."

It was probably when Zhao Xiaozai entered the private school, and Miss and Xiao Qian began their training under the supervision of their companions.

It longed to give him a sword. But it no longer had a sword

It is detestable; if there are no unforeseen circumstances, you will at most reach the realm of Fuyao in this lifetime. Weakness is the original sin! Help me reshape my physical body and make up for my regrets? An ant gazes at the sky, a fool speaks of dreams

The tall building by the lake is situated amidst the lush greenery of Jiamu, within a delicate garden adorned with dazzling flowers

Mr. Bai once said, before the age of eighteen, we should not interfere in these private matters

Has that young man still decided to leave

The building named Cheng'en was constructed by the legitimate daughter of a certain Duke of Jingnan after she was elevated to the position of Empress and returned to her family for a visit. The plaque reads "Cheng'en Si Yi," which was personally inscribed by that Duke of Chu.

Zhao Rong calmly picked up the teacup, took a gentle sip, and said leisurely: "I don't know."

Return to the Great Wonder

Zhao Rong speaks with confidence and conviction

He sat alone under the eaves, one hand holding a sword and the other lightly lifting a wine jar. The wind was brisk and the sky high, with the moonlight accompanying the wine, yet he did not admire the moon. Instead, his gaze, unfocused, looked down at a certain brightly lit house within the estate.

If it were not for your family's Zhao clan from the Southern Xiaoyao Continent being so devoted to the young lady, how could the old man and Mr. Bai possibly agree to let you marry into the family

The man chuckled at himself and continued, "That kid has a wooden head; I think he really needs it, so I just gave him the remaining half pot."

I drank half a pot back in the day, and the effect was quite good

... ...

You have broken the rules

Having said that, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea

The swordsman tilted his head and took a hearty drink, then shook the wine jar, finding it completely empty, and casually tossed it aside

Is this it

In the night, a tall building of the duke's residence.

The swordsman quietly let out a sigh of relief. However, a remark that came from a distance made his eyelids twitch.

He sighed

These scenes will never appear again

Whenever that happened, the young lady would always listen to his nonsense with a serious expression, occasionally nodding or shaking her head. When she heard something frightening, she would quickly grasp the hem of his garment with both hands, her little face turning pale

However, it is interesting that every time it is still that young man who wins, and thus he once again boasts with great pride. Meanwhile, the young lady always sits quietly beside him, resting her chin on her hand and listening attentively, smiling and laughing. Qian'er, on the other hand, uncooperatively exposes his flaws, leading to another round of playful banter filled with childlike charm

However, he paused for a moment, then calmly picked up the teacup and said slowly

That boastful little brat always solemnly claims that the man-eating monster, suppressed by the weighty tomes of Confucian sages locked away in the building, is just as terrifying as the giant water monster he defeated lurking in the nearby lake

... ...

Young man, do you know what year it is today? Are the Du You family and the Qingyang Han family still on this continent?

His gaze was somewhat reminiscent, "A gift from an old friend, he said this wine can lead one into a great dream, as if having experienced another lifetime, and upon waking from the dream, one can realize the preciousness of this life"

I will report to Mr. Bai, as for the young lady... you must speak to her truthfully
