Chapter 249 Heartbreak
As soon as Shen Yao emerged from the Drunken Beauty Pavilion, Tu Xiaoxiao bound her wrists with a spirit rope.
Shen Yao kicked him, "Why did you tie me up again?"
Tu Xiaoxiao dodged a kick and wrapped the rope around her wrist: "I always feel that if I don't tie you up, you might suddenly run off and go wild at any time. I feel more at ease if I tie you up."
Shen Yao protested, "I didn't go out partying! I went shopping, shopping!"
Tu Xiaoxiao: "Yeah, you went shopping and almost emptied the shops in Longyuan City. It hasn't been long, but Shen the God of Wealth has become famous. I'm afraid you'll be robbed as soon as you leave Longyuan City."
Shen Yao tried to argue, "I was just doing this for the sake of getting drunk on beauty."
"To buy so much just for the sake of Drunken Beauty?" Tu Xiaoxiao took out her flying magic weapon: "I haven't seen the building use much."
Tu Xiaoxiao's flying magical artifact is a large jade scroll, decorated with a white blanket. Shen Yao always felt that this large blanket was also made of fox fur.
Back at the Tu family gate, after getting off the scroll, Tu Xiaoxiao openly led her by the hand, walking very slowly. When they encountered relatives and friends, they would stop to greet and chat, and would frequently raise their hands to deliberately show off their wrists that were tied together.
In Shen Yao's eyes, all of their actions could be summed up in two words: childish.
They're over 800 years old and still so childish.
The male fox entered Xiaoxiang Garden but wouldn't let her go, explaining that a month ago, he hadn't kept an eye on her for a while and she had gone to a brothel. Therefore, he wouldn't untie her until her father returned.
Shen Yao was angry and refused to leave under the wisteria tree: "If you don't untie it, I'll sit under the tree all night."
Tu Xiaoxiao leaped onto a tree branch and lay down: "Suit yourself, I'll just sleep in the tree for the night."
After arguing for a while, Tu Xiaoxiao asked her, "Would you like to drink 'Red Beauty's Intoxication'?"
Shen Yao: "Isn't that Hua Yi's treasured possession?"
Tu Xiaoxiao flipped down the tree, and with a wave of her hand, a row of pinkish-white and light blue wine bottles were neatly arranged on the ground covered with wisteria blossoms.
Shen Yao glanced at the wine bottle: "It really is 'Beauty's Intoxication,' did you steal wine from Hua Yi's wine cellar?"
Tu Xiaoxiao opened a bottle and handed it to her: "I drank with him all night last night, and he gave it to me because he felt sorry for me."
“Those light blue ones are the long song of dreams, eight hundred and twenty years.”
The fairy smelled the aroma of the wine, took a small sip, praised it as "delicious," and then drank it herself.
"You ungrateful wretch!" Tu Xiaoxiao said with displeasure, "Aren't you going to ask him why he pities me?"
Shen Yao's answer made him want to vomit blood: "Brothers always feel sorry for each other after drinking too much, I understand."
Well, the eight-tailed fox brought this on herself. Oh well, she's made of mud, not flesh and blood, so getting angry is pointless.
The two of them drank together under the tree, while Huo Die and Feng Yu were on their way back.
Feng Yu, who was thinking about her wife, had not been away from the pharmacy for long when she overheard the guards on patrol whispering.
He was a gentleman and would normally disdain eavesdropping on conversations.
But not far away, several patrolling guards huddled together, seemingly talking about his wild goose boat.
Feng Yu and Huo Die stopped in their tracks simultaneously.
The guards laughed and talked without any restraint, as if they had just tasted honey.
A tall female guard said, "Tell me, does Miss Shen prefer our Second Young Master or the Fifth Young Master Hua?"
The male guard opposite her replied, "It's hard to say. I think she likes Young Master Hua. Didn't Ah Jin say last time that the Second Young Master and Young Master Hua were fighting over Miss Shen at Drunken Beauty, and Miss Shen and Young Master Hua were holding each other and wouldn't let go?"
Feng Yu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, as if the sky had collapsed. She desperately wanted to know if the Miss Shen they were talking about was Shen Yao.
A gray-haired female guard exclaimed dramatically, "Heavens! Our second young master is stealing her away!"
Another male guard winked and said, "Look, our second young master is really something. I've heard that since that night, Miss Shen and the second young master have been eating and living together, and they're always together."
The tall female guard covered her mouth and laughed: "You're behind the times. Before that night, the Second Young Master and she were already eating and living together at home. The Second Young Master is so domineering, he tied their wrists together with a spirit rope, as if he was afraid she would run away."
The guards exclaimed excitedly, "My goodness, is the Second Young Master really this domineering? He truly lives up to his name..."
Feng Yu's anger surged, and her fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
At this moment, a Tu family cultivator who had overheard the conversation among the passing guards chimed in, "I also like Miss Shen, who is such a cold and aloof female cultivator, yet has a lively and unrestrained personality, is generous, and capable."
The female cultivator in green who was traveling with him laughed and said, "Especially generous, who wouldn't like that?"
The guards, who had been chatting idly, immediately pulled them in: "Hey, you guys sound like you know a lot. Tell us, how did the Second Young Master fall for her?"
The female cultivator in green feigned mystery: "How did she fall in love with him? You can go to Xiaoxiang Garden and see for yourselves. They had just returned before we came here. The Second Young Master was still tied to her, holding hands, and they chatted with us for a long time, unwilling to let go."
The guards were both excited and fearful: "We dare not go to Xiaoxiang Garden to see. Tell us again, what did the Second Young Master talk to you about?"
Huo Die couldn't listen anymore. He strode over and asked, "Is the Miss Shen you're talking about Shen Yao?"
The cultivators didn't recognize Huo Die and just thought he was a bystander. They enthusiastically shared with him, "It's Shen Yao, the fairy that the Second Young Master brought back to Xiaoxiang Garden a little over a month ago. The Second Young Master is extremely fond of her, and we guess good things are coming soon."
The gray-haired female guard was still laughing: "Maybe good things will happen soon. We're just waiting for Miss Shen to give us a title. Otherwise, why would we keep her tied up like this?"
Feng Yu flew like the wind to Xiaoxiang Garden, with Huo Die following closely behind. They stirred up a gust of wind that swept all the chatting cultivators into the lake.
As soon as they arrived outside Xiaoxiang Garden, the father-in-law and son-in-law heard laughter coming from inside the courtyard. Feng Yu stopped outside the gate with a grim expression.
The gate to Xiaoxiang Garden was open, and he saw Shen Yao and Tu Xiaoxiao sitting under the wisteria tree, shoulder to shoulder, chatting and drinking intimately.
They were dressed in the same color, leaning against the wisteria tree, sitting amidst the purple petals on the ground. The overturned wine bottle showed that they had been intimate for a long time. Looking at them, they were truly a loving couple.
The 900-year-old vintage was both pure and intoxicating. After drinking several bottles, Shen Yao's cheeks flushed pink, and when she smiled with her eyes crinkled, she exuded a captivating charm. In Feng Yu's eyes, this was reflected in her shy expression when she spoke to Tu Xiaoxiao...
This scene doesn't look like it was forced at all.
Feng Yu felt as if she could hear her own heart breaking. Her legs felt like they were made of lead, so heavy that she couldn't lift them or walk.
Huo Die originally thought that if Tu Xiaoxiao dared to force his daughter, he would definitely beat him up at the Tu family today.
But seeing this scene... his daughter chatting happily with the male fox... he couldn't bring himself to make a move.
Having lived for tens of thousands of years, Huo Die had seen everything and remained calm about this matter. He cleared his throat as a signal and called out to the courtyard, "Daughter, we're back."
