somewhere else," the old王爺was about to hit Cloud Qianyue again.Cloud Qianyue seemed to have eyes on her head and quickly grabbed his hand in warning. "So what if I am gloating There’s no merit for you...Chapter 72: A Happy Day

Yun Qianyue's originally blushing face turned completely red upon hearing this. She raised her head and glared fiercely at Nan Lingrui.

"Really ashamed" Nan Lingrui widened his eyes, carefully observing Yun Qianyue’s face before suddenly exclaiming in realization: "Oh, autumn has arrived. The fruits are ripe and can be picked."

"Are you really my brother If I were to have a few men around me, what then Do you dare to find ten or eight men for me" Yun Qianyue was ashamed and angry but stopped mid-sentence. What had she been saying

Rong Jing’s clear eyes darkened when he heard the mention of ten or eight men.

Nan Lingrui was stunned before bursting into laughter: "Haha, little girl, you have a great ambition!"

Yun Qianyue's face turned green and red with anger as she dared not look at Rong Jing.

"Xiao Jing, you still need to make an effort!" Nan Lingrui looked at Rong Jing with pity in his eyes.

The dark clouds in Rong Jing’s eyes swirled for a moment before calming down. He coolly glanced at Nan Lingrui and did not speak.

Yun Qianyue sensed that the atmosphere around her had dropped several degrees. She suddenly rolled her eyes, reached out to hug Rong Jing's arm, and looked up at him ingratiatingly: "I meant he could find ten or eight men for me to beat up."

"Mm!" Rong Jing turned his gaze from Nan Lingrui to Yun Qianyue and replied very gently.

Yun Qianyue had previously felt warmth in her heart when she heard this voice, but now it sounded like a demonic chant, chilling her to the bone. She forced herself to regain composure and refrained from speaking further.

Nan Lingrui looked at Rong Jing and then Yun Qianyue before suddenly bursting into laughter again. He turned around and hummed a little tune as he strolled forward. This time, it was a mountain melody about love between a man and woman, sung with great feeling and switching from male to female voice in turns, making the song even more vivid.

Yun Qianyue slowly let go of Rong Jing's arm and suddenly thought that the matter she had just been considering was not urgent. Absolutely not urgent. She felt as though if it were urgent, she would definitely have no good fruit to eat. It was better not to rush!

Rong Jing gave Yun Qianyue a long look, his eyes flickering but still he did not speak.

Yu Qingqing who walked ahead found this amusing and shook her head. The seven people following behind exchanged glances and all thought that their young master’s prospects were looking grim as they could sense the dark aura on Rong Jing just now from a distance.

The group arrived at Half-Hill Cliff.

Half-Hill Cliff's entrance was sealed off, with a towering stone tablet inscribed with the words "Do not enter or death" in large characters. Yun Qianyue thought of the giant rock outside Rong Jing’s Bamboo Grove and raised her eyebrows in puzzlement: "When did Old Snow Mountain put up this stone tablet There wasn’t one before, right"

This question was directed at Rong Jing.

"No." Rong Jing shook his head.

"The entrance is sealed and there are also arrays set up outside. These aren’t inferior to the Tiger Den or Dragon Pool Array," said Yu Qingting, looking ahead: "There’s no trace of footprints here. It looks like nobody has been in for a long time."

"Old Snow Mountain has spent his whole life here. He should go out and walk around!" Nan Lingrui chuckled: "As there's nobody here, we’ll just enter and treat ourselves as the main guests!" With that, he led the way inside.

Yu Qingting glanced at the sky. It had darkened completely now and she smiled before catching up with Nan Lingrui.

Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue had no objections, following the two behind.

The array formation set up by the Snow Mountain Elder was indeed difficult but it could not stop them. The group quickly passed through the array formation and entered the half-way cliff. As soon as they entered, a fierce tiger roared and charged out.

Nan Ling Rui jumped in surprise and leaped back behind Yu Qingqing.

Yu Qingqing was also taken aback; the fierce tiger directly pounced towards her. She hesitated whether to take action or not, knowing that she would definitely hurt this tiger if she did so. If she didn’t, she could only dodge and wouldn't be able to enter inside. This tiger seemed to be a guard dog.

"Blackie!" At this moment, Yun Qianyue called out.

The fierce tiger that was originally roaring towards Yu Qingqing suddenly stopped in its tracks and turned its majestic tiger head toward Yun Qianyue, revealing a hint of confusion in its eyes.

Yun Qianyue reached her hand to pull off a hairpin and gently tapped it against the jade bracelet on her wrist twice. The fierce tiger's eyes lit up and pounced towards her. She pushed Rong Jing aside; the fierce tiger instantly appeared before her, lifting its front two hooves onto her shoulder and resting its big tiger head there.

Hua Sheng and others were about to cry out in surprise but seeing this scene left them speechless with wide eyes.

"Heh, what a great greeting!" Nan Ling Rui suddenly laughed, looking at the pushed-aside Rong Jing and said with a smile: "I never expected that the little girl’s peach blossoms are so flourishing that even a tiger can’t resist them."

Rong Jing's storm of emotions in his eyes gathered for a moment before settling down again, as he looked at Yun Qianyue and the fierce tiger.

The tiger was tall and large, entirely snow white with only three black stripes forming a character on its forehead. Although it had just roared fiercely and charged out like a fighting tiger, it now seemed like a big child, actually nuzzling against Yun Qianyue’s shoulder in what appeared to be an act of affection.

Yun Qianyue glared at Nan Ling Rui: "Say one more word that displeases me and I'll let Blackie bite you."

Nan Ling Rui, apparently afraid of the tiger, immediately closed his mouth.

"Blackie, be good! It's only been a few years since I last came; why have you grown so much" Yun Qianyue patted the tiger’s head with her hand to comfort it. Her voice softened as she spoke soothingly, just like哄小孩般。

The tiger let out a pitiful moan, seemingly very aggrieved, and seemed to be complaining about her.

"Look, you've grown so big; I was busy growing up too and didn't have time to visit. Now that I'm all grown up, I came as soon as possible to see you! Be good, no crying!" Yun Qianyue exercised her love by stroking the tiger's head with one hand and its fur on the back with another.

Nan Ling Rui’s mouth twitched; busy growing up Only she could come up with such an excuse.

Yu Qingqing looked at Yun Qianyue, her gaze affectionate and smiling.

Rong Jing's gaze imperceptibly fell on the tiger paw that was holding Yun Qianyue’s shoulder and its big tiger head resting on her shoulder. His eyes were calm as he watched, but for a moment earlier there had been a storm; it was like looking at a mirror, without any ripples.

The tiger seemed less aggrieved now, stopping its pitiful moans. It removed the tiger head from Yun Qianyue’s shoulder and glared at her with both tiger eyes, seemingly realizing that she had grown so much that it couldn’t recognize her anymore.

"Is this giant actually able to understand human language" Nan Ling Rui was surprised and asked.

"This is a Spirit White Tiger, an extremely rare breed. It’s naturally very intelligent; after training, it can indeed understand human language," Yu Qingqing explained.

"I didn’t expect that the old man of Snow Mountain has such good things!" Nan Ling Rui said with some jealousy.

"This was what Yue gave Xiao Feng back then," Yu Qingqing shook her head and said with a smile, "She was afraid that after the tragic incident of Wenhui Hou's family being wiped out, Xiao Feng wouldn't be able to bear it and would become depressed. So she sent him here and went into the deep mountains to catch this little tiger for his company. It's hard to imagine that she was only five back then."

"So it was like that! Little girl, you're really good to Rong Feng!" Nan Lingrui said enviously again.

"Mother, how do you know" Yun Qianmo turned around and looked at Yu Qingqing.

Wasn't this something that happened ten years ago She sent Rong Feng here after seeing his overly quiet and dark eyes. Afraid he would lose hope, despite her trying to comfort him on the way, there was only Snow Mountain Elder here alone, so with his arrival, it was just them two people. She feared he might develop a reclusive personality over time, but she couldn't stay and keep him company herself, so after much deliberation, she decided to get him a companion. Finding someone wasn't possible because Rong Feng had become Snow Mountain Elder's closed-door disciple and outsiders weren't allowed on the cliff. Therefore, she could only find an animal, which led her to think of giving him a tiger. To give something, it must be the best; hence, she went into the dense jungle behind Heavenly Snow Mountain with a month’s worth of dry food prepared for herself after searching for over ten days before finding what she was looking for: a beautiful female tiger that seemed to be in her term of pregnancy. Based on her knowledge of biology and pregnant women, it wouldn't take long before it would give birth. So she started waiting outside the cave. She waited for four or five days when finally, the tigress went into labor and gave birth to two cubs, just as she predicted. The tiger cubs were indeed very beautiful. Seeing how patiently the mother tiger was nursing her cubs made Yun Qianmo hesitate and miss the best opportunity to take them away. However, once she thought about Rong Feng possibly developing a reclusive personality from being trapped on the cliff day after day, she toughened up and took one of the cubs with her.

When she had used up all the dry food she prepared for herself, she returned to the slope with one tiger cub. She still remembered how shocked Snow Mountain Elder was when he saw her and the little tiger in her arms. Rong Feng seemed stunned as well. When he heard that she had waited a month in the jungle just to get him a tiger cub, Yun Qianmo clearly saw tears shimmering in his beautiful eyes but he stubbornly held them back.

Later when Yun Qianmo looked at herself in the mirror, she finally saw what she looked like back then; it's no wonder Snow Mountain Elder was shocked — even she almost didn't recognize herself. Her face had been frostbitten somewhere along the way, her hands were covered with chilblains and her feet had developed ulcers from the cold. Her hair was unmanageable and she barely resembled a human being. But at that time, she really hadn't felt it or noticed how much she had changed in just one month.

Afterwards, Snow Mountain Elder kept Yun Qianmo for half a month to treat her with countless beauty-restoring medicines before bringing her back to health. While he was heartbroken over his medicinal herbs that might have been trampled upon during the ordeal, he also repeatedly praised Rong Feng: "This stinky kid must have accumulated good karma in previous lives to encounter such an amazing little girl who will surely marry him when she grows up." Yun Qianmo remembered at that time Rong Feng didn't say anything but seemed to nod emphatically. Snow Mountain Elder then sighed, "It’s truly a wonder! There is actually such a little girl in the world! She must be some kind of freak!"

After her injuries healed, she left and instructed Rong Feng to take care of the tiger cub well, telling him about how the mother tiger gave birth and raised the cubs. She also told him that because he had taken one cub away, the other was orphaned and needed extra care. Additionally, she carefully explained some knowledge on raising tigers, which he memorized diligently. Finally, after rambling for half a day feeling like there were still things to discuss, Rong Feng smiled at her for the first time and said that he would live well, take good care of the tiger cub, learn martial arts and medical skills without becoming reclusive or lonely.

Thinking back now, she really didn't think of herself as a five-year-old child at the time. But from others' perspective, it must have been quite surprising. Even more strange to her was that this incident probably even Rong Jing wasn’t aware of; how did her mother know

"When Wenhui Hou's family was wiped out back then, your father and I were informed too late. We only saw you rescuing Xiao Feng and became worried, following secretly all the way to Heavenly Snow Mountain. We thought you'd return to the capital after sending him here but unexpectedly, you didn't return immediately after leaving the slope but lingered outside for a long time looking deep in thought before going into the jungle behind Heavenly Snow Mountain. Back then you were only five years old and I was terrified. I wanted to go out and stop you, but your father feared breaking his oath and persuaded me not to. We could only follow you from behind, seeing your tiger tracks and stopping outside its den waiting for it to give birth, watching as you struggled with whether or not to take away the tiger cubs, and finally when you waited until the mother tiger had gone out to hunt before taking one cub away. That was a rarely visited forest where wild animals roamed often; with just a five-year-old girl like you, knowing how to avoid dangerous beasts and having patience, determination, careful planning, and no mistakes made for an entire month. A month later we followed you out of the jungle, your father laughed saying that this little girl is indeed our daughter, even without us she would live well, even if thrown into a mud pool, she could still survive. He told me not to be sad or worried any longer," Yu Qingqing smiled recalling those past events.

"So you were always following behind me at that time!" Yun Qianmo's heart was instantly filled with happiness.

"Yes, if not for Lord Grandfather forcing your father to take an oath of blood, we would have rushed out to stop you long ago. Even if we couldn't stop you, your father could still help you catch a tiger; why did you have to struggle so hard But ultimately, we didn’t dare do it since the oath was made in front of the ancestors of Cloud Prince’s mansion. What if it came true We want our healthy daughter back, not one missing limbs or anything. Later when we entered the jungle, I wanted to get a tiger cub for you to meet by chance and take home but your father disagreed saying that some training isn't bad at all. With us watching over you, nothing would happen to you anyway, moreover, given how careful your plans were and cautious actions back then, what was there for us It’s unnecessary. I also gave up on the idea," Yu Qingqing said with a smile.

Yun Qianmo nodded and smiled. Suddenly she hugged the tiger's body tightly and rubbed her face against its fur.

The tiger seemed to understand somewhat, but Yun Qianmo’s arrival clearly made it very happy as it stopped groaning and happily rubbed its head on Yun Qianmo’s. It was a joyful reunion for human and tiger after so long apart.

"I'm starving! Little girl, when are you going to stop being so close with this big thing" Nan Lingrui's eyes turned green out of jealousy as he angrily said: "You've never treated your brother like that but居然對容楓那麼好，居然守了一個月給他抓老虎。"

Yun Qianmo snorted, “Did you forget the fan I made myself while locked up for two weeks”

Nan Lingrui immediately lost his voice and then turned to Rong Jing in a rage, "My fan was ruined by him!"

"You were showing off with that fan in Tian Sheng City; it had to be destroyed," Rong Jing ignored Nan Lingrui's anger as he said to Yun Qianmo, "It’s very late. You’re not hungry but everyone else is; let’s go inside."

“Okay,” Yun Qianmo pushed the tiger away and asked it, “You're guarding home by yourself now”

"Woo..." The tiger whimpered and nodded.

"Where did Snow Mountain Elder go" Yun Qianmo continued as she walked in.

The tiger pointed east with its paw and drew circles on the ground, like waves.

Yun Qianmo frowned. "Why would he go to the East Sea"

The tiger shook its head.

Yun Qianyue looked at Yu Qingqing, who also shook her head. "I couldn't find out where he went to the East Sea, but it's said that Venerable Lingyin and his adoptive father are organizing some people on Jiuxianshan in the East Sea for a discussion of Buddhism and Daoism. It’s probably a grand event involving both Buddhism and Daoism, so he must have gone there to join in."

Yun Qianyue nodded and stroked the tiger's head. "Poor thing, you're all alone now!"

The tiger whimpered pitifully.

Snow Mountain Elder’s residence was located at a small valley on the half-slope cliff. This area had a large expanse of land stretching several miles in every direction. The four sides were half up the slope, with different types of trees growing on either side. One half consisted of spring and summer foliage, while the other half bore autumn and winter leaves. In the middle of the flat ground was a row of houses, surrounded by medicinal gardens filled with various herbs and rare flowers.

The alternating cold and heat made the climate neither too hot nor too cold, but warm and pleasant.

"It’s no wonder that Snow Mountain Sect has had a guardian for every generation. Such a wonderful place would naturally not want to give it up."

Yu Qingqing said, "The disciples of Snow Mountain Sect are few but excellent. Though it's been several hundred years, each generation has passed down the legacy, which is truly miraculous." She continued, "It’s closely related to that rule they abolished."

"That's true. If the old man from Snow Mountain had died with her younger sister back then, the Snow Mountain Sect wouldn't exist anymore," Yun Qianyue sighed and reached out to pat the tiger's head. "Is there anything left to eat"

The tiger nodded happily and ran forward.

Yun Qianyue grabbed Yu Qingqing’s hand and told her, "Mother, let’s go cook with Xiaohei."

"Okay!" Yu Qingqing smiled and agreed.

"You seven should clean the rooms. When that old man from Snow Mountain left Tianshan Mountain a few months ago, he probably followed Rong Feng down the mountain. The house is surely covered in dust. You’ll be punished for cleaning it up," Yun Qianyue commanded Hua Sheng.

"Yes, Young Master!" The seven people readily agreed and hurried into the courtyard.

"Little girl, what about us" Nan Lingrui pointed at Rong Jing and himself. "What do we do"

"You…" Yun Qianyue glanced back at them and waved her hand nonchalantly. "Do whatever you like! It would be best if you washed that shirt of yours; it’s covered in blood, making it very dirty."

"Okay, I’ll wash my clothes while looking for a washboard for Xiao Jing." Nan Lingrui happily ran into the courtyard.

Yun Qianyue found her parents calling Rong Jing "Xiao Jing" tolerable but couldn't help laughing when she heard it from Nan Lingrui. No matter how she heard it, it sounded strange. She suspected that Nan Lingrui was intentionally doing this; otherwise, why would he deliberately prolong the words “Xiao Jing” while speaking smoothly Suppressing her laughter, Yun Qianyue looked at Rong Jing.

"Today, Aunt Qing’s illusion of Princess Luoyao looked very good. I think she looks great standing beside Little Rui." Rong Jing said slowly.

Yun Qianyue staggered and almost fell over. ‘Little Rui’

Naturally, Nan Lingrui had heard this as well; he fell straight to the ground with a thud. The ground here wasn’t paved with stone tiles but covered in grass and soil; clearly, he had created a small pit.

Yun Qianyue thought that if Nan Lingrui was still provoking Rong Jing, his karma must have come back to haunt him. When Rong Jing’s mouth wasn’t venomous enough to kill someone, it could still do the job; how much more so when he deliberately wanted to poison someone He would make sure a person was completely blackened inside and out without leaving any white spots.

"You… you…" Nan Lingrui lay on the ground, pointing at Rong Jing with his finger. His face turned every color of the rainbow.

Rong Jing admired Nang Ling Rui's face and suddenly reached out to take off his mask, smiling pleasantly. "Although Princess Lu Yao has a marriage contract with me, I have set my heart on marrying your younger sister. Brother Ru is caring for your sister, which truly moves me deeply. If you don’t want that Princess Lu Yao to cause trouble for your sister, why not replace her and take the debt onto yourself Take her in!"

"You... You..." Nang Ling Rui’s face changed again as he pointed at Rong Jing but couldn't say a word.

“It turns out that Brother Ru is so delicate. Don’t worry, although Princess Lu Yao might be formidable, she is genuine gold. Marrying her back to the Southern Liang will definitely make you surpass all women in the world, and you will surely have the bearing of a queen mother in the future. It’s better than being a princess from the Southern Frontier or the headmaster of the Lan family by several times over. Jing has thought about it thoroughly and is willing to facilitate this beautiful affair for Brother Ru.” Rong Jing laughed more amiably, even saying that they were like one big happy family.

South Ling Rui retracted his hand and slapped himself vigorously on the body with a loud sound of slapping. It seemed only after he had patted off all the goosebumps did he tremble as he pointed at Rong Jing, grinding his teeth and said, "You are not allowed to call me Brother Ru!"

“So you don’t like this nickname Then change it. What do you think I should call you” Rong Jing smiled warmly at him.

"You... You..." South Ling Rui's finger was trembling, shaking for a long time before he angrily said, "I won't let you call me anything!"

Rong Jing nodded and made an 'oh' sound.

Yun Qianyue was already laughing so hard she couldn’t breathe properly anymore; half of her body leaned on Yun Qingqing. Yun Qingqing also laughed until her body went soft, mother and daughter’s two smiling faces were as beautiful as the countless fragrant flowers here in the middle of the cliff.

"You are a pair of ungrateful daughters and mothers, looking at me being bullied!" South Ling Rui patted his butt to stand up, glaring angrily at them. He was extremely annoyed by Yun Qianyue’s uncontrollable laughter as he said, "I’d rather die than marry that Lu Yao! Not only won’t I marry her, but perhaps I will even help her enter the Royal Honor Mansion. Let him marry that black-hearted guy."

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes; she was still laughing so hard that even when rolling her eyes there was a lingering smile on her face. She pulled Yun Qingqing forward and said, "Mother, let’s quickly go to cook. Brother’s ability to entertain people is getting better and better, I am really tired from laughing, I think I can eat an entire big bowl of rice."

"You little brat!" Yun Qingqing reached out to pat Yun Qianyue on the head while smiling as she followed her.

The mother and daughter entered the courtyard and headed towards the kitchen.

Rong Jing glanced at South Ling Rui, smiled and walked into the interior. His steps were light and elegant; his aura was warm like spring sunshine. Clearly, all the gloominess accumulated by South Ling Rui had been returned to him. Although he didn't hum a tune as South Ling Rui did when he was proud but from the appearance of him, it was apparent that he was in an excellent mood.

South Ling Rui looked at Rong Jing’s back with a gloomy face and almost bit through his teeth. After a while, he forcefully kicked out to fill up the hole he had created on the ground before angrily tearing off the bloody clothes from his body and revealing the golden silk soft armor underneath. The armor was sewn with countless small bags made of cocoons which still had dried blood stains. Apparently it was these cocoons that bled when he knelt in thorns to apologize. He stretched out a hand in revenge and tore off the gold silk armor, holding a pile of bloody clothes as he walked towards the waterfall flowing down from half way up the cliff.

The two women entered the small kitchen and indeed found plenty of food stored inside: rice, flour, even salted meat. In addition to medicinal herbs in the courtyard, there was also a small vegetable garden with many vegetables planted. So they quickly started cooking.

Yun Qingqing’s culinary skills were as good as her martial arts. Standing next to her mother, Yun Qianyue helped and said enviously, "Father really has great luck!"

Yun Qingqing smiled at her childishly, “You also have a lot of luck; Little Jing can cook.”

Yun Qianyue laughed, “That’s true! ” She watched Yun Qingqing's movements and said, "I actually like cooking too. Although I only know how to make several dishes, it feels so happy when the one you love eats food that you made. So I’m going to learn how to cook."

“Moon has wisdom.” Yun Qingqing smiled and continued saying, “In fact, living in this world, after gaining profound enlightenment and seeing all kinds of phenomena, one will think that being able to live a peaceful life with someone you are willing to wash dishes for is the most beautiful thing.”

Yun Qianyue nodded. She agreed.

"Unfortunately, your status and Little Jing’s status make it very difficult for both of us to be at peace." Yun Qingqing smiled again and said: "But you need to understand that there is no true peaceful place in this world. Mother thinks that as long as two people are sincerely in love, they won't care where they are, whether they live in a high official residence or hide away from the world. As long as both of their hearts are together, anywhere will be peaceful. It depends on your mindset."

Yun Qianyue’s eyes sparkled and she smiled saying: "Mother knows we must take that difficult path, right Don’t worry, I understand it. Although I don't like the intrigues, scheming, darkness or anything restricted by rules, I know the survival of the fittest. Falling in love with Rong Jing is an inevitable fact that cannot be changed, so I can only change my environment to find a way to survive."

"Mm, it’s good you understand!" Yun Qingqing nodded and praised her: "My daughter, I have always believed in you!"

Yun Qianyue smiled happily, then suddenly stopped smiling and frowned at her, asking, "Who is Luo Yu"

Yu Qingqing saw Yun Qianyue's serious expression and said with a smile, "She's just a little girl." Seeing that Yun Qianyue still looked displeased, she patted her head gently and said, "Your father and I only have you as our daughter! You are one of a kind. No one can replace you."

"That’s more like it!" Yun Qianyue smiled again, reached up to pat her own head, and reproachfully asked, "Your hands are sticky with flour; now my hair is full of it." Then she smeared the flour from her hand onto Xiaohei's head, who was squatting beside them.

Xiaohei seemed unhappy too. He patted his head with his large paw and complained to Yun Qianyue with a low growl.

An hour later, Yu Qingqing had prepared an entire table of dishes. At this time, Hua Sheng, Ling Lian, and others had tidied up their rooms and came over to help serve the food. A few people and one tiger carried the dishes out from the kitchen and set a large dining table outside in the courtyard.

Nan Lingrui walked back looking clean and neat, his eyes lighting up when he saw the full table of food. He sat down immediately and started to eat heartily.

"This brat! It's as if you haven't eaten for eight hundred years!" Yu Qingqing laughed and called out, "Xiao Jing, it’s time to eat!"

"Understood Aunt Qing!" Rong Jing walked out of a room looking clean and neat.

"Think about how many years have passed since you left me and the little girl How long has it been since we last ate your cooking What's the difference between that and not eating for eight hundred years" Nan Lingrui chewed his food vigorously, displeased.

The corners of Yu Qingqing’s eyes turned slightly moist as she said, "From now on, I will cook for you every day."

"That's more like it!" Nan Lingrui immediately became pleased and winked at Yun Qianyue. "Little girl, are you envious"

Yun Qianyue hummed lightly and used her chopsticks to poke at the food while asking Yu Qingqing, "Mother, can Father cook"

"Yes!" Yu Qingqing nodded with a smile.

"Then from now on, I’ll make him cook for me every day," Yun Qianyue was satisfied.

"From now on, I will also eat Uncle Yuan’s cooking every day. He must be tired of it." Rong Jing lifted his robe and sat down next to Yun Qianyue with a smile. "We are truly blessed!"

This time, Nan Lingrui hummed.

"Hua Luo, go dig out two jars of wine from under that old plum tree," Yun Qianyue smirked at Nan Lingrui and waved her hand to the seven people around. "Quickly sit down! Why are you standing there"

Hua Sheng and others hurriedly sat down without being too restrained.

Soon, Hua Luo brought back two jars of wine. The group, having been hungry all day, along with Yu Qingqing's excellent cooking that even surpassed the imperial kitchens' chefs, were ravenous. They ate hungrily. Yun Qianyue noticed that Rong Jing used his chopsticks more frequently today than usual.

Nan Lingrui was originally resentful of Rong Jing but found himself drinking with no one else to match him in quantity. Thus, he decided not to mind and the two drank freely as if their earlier antagonism never existed.

Yun Qianyue looked at the pair of them and couldn't help but feel impressed. With Rong Jing and Nan Lingrui, there was truly no one stronger in the world.

This meal continued until midnight with everyone drinking wine and chatting. It was the happiest day Yun Qianyue had experienced in over a decade.un Qianyue shut her eyes and shooed him, “Get out of here!”Rong Jing suddenly sat down beside her and said gently, "Then go ahead and sleep! I'll stay with you!""How can I sleep with you here Move awa...
