Chapter 161 Grudges
A look of confusion flashed in Li Mochou's eyes, which then turned into determination.
For her, it was a long time, but here, less than a quarter of an hour had passed.
She also heard what Lu Zhanyuan had just said.
When Li Mochou woke up, Lu Zhanyuan and the others were all surprised.
Lu Zhanyuan instinctively stood in front of He Yuanjun, worried that she might suddenly attack.
"Mo Chou, it's been a long time."
Li Mochou did not answer immediately, but slowly stood up and looked at Gu Qianbei.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"A fleeting dream."
"A fleeting dream? What fine wine indeed."
Li Mochou smiled freely, revealing a gentler side reminiscent of her twenties.
At that moment, most of her previous anger dissipated.
Li Mochou turned to look at Lu Zhanyuan.
The man before her eyes overlapped with the man in her dreams, yet he no longer stirred any love or murderous intent in Li Mochou.
"It's been a long time. Ten years... how many decades are there in a lifetime?"
Li Mochou suddenly sighed.
When she was young, she wanted to leave the ancient tomb, to see the outside world, and to witness the prosperity of this world.
I never imagined that I would waste ten years on a man.
"Mo Chou, I know you harbor resentment, but Lu Family Village is innocent, and Yuan Jun is innocent too."
"If you really want revenge, just come to me. Don't involve them."
Lu Zhanyuan looked determined, but He Yuanjun held his hand.
"My husband, since we are husband and wife, we should live and die together. If you die, how can I live on?"
"Yuan-jun!"
The two gazed at each other deeply, but Gu Qianbei couldn't help but facepalm.
"Why are you showing off your love at a time like this? Do you want to die even faster?"
If you all stir up the hatred that Li Mochou just suppressed, I won't care anymore.
Gu Qianbei was internally ranting, but Li Mochou just smiled.
"Okay, very good."
Li Mochou's voice was calm, making it impossible to discern whether she was happy or angry.
Lu Zhanyuan and He Yuanjun felt a chill in their hearts, fearing that Li Mochou might suddenly launch an attack.
"You didn't kneel down and beg for mercy, nor did you plead for peace to save your life. That shows you're still a hero. I wasn't blind when I was young."
It's just that we're not a good match.
"You can leave now. I won't kill you, and I won't bother you again."
His words were soft, yet they carried a hint of worldly wisdom and composure.
Surprisingly, Li Mochou's Taoist robe suited her perfectly at this moment.
Gu Qianbei also looked at Li Mochou with surprise.
Unexpectedly, after the dream of wealth and power, Li Mochou had become so open-minded.
This liquor is really useful.
"You...you're not going to kill us?"
Lu Zhanyuan was both surprised and delighted.
"Get out. Get out before I change my mind."
Li Mochou's expression turned cold, her previous gentleness vanished completely, clearly indicating that she didn't want to see Lu Zhanyuan again.
"Okay, let's go."
Lu Zhanyuan pulled He Yuanjun and Lu Liding away directly.
As he reached the door, Lu Zhanyuan suddenly stopped and bowed slightly to Li Mochou.
Thank you. I wish you find your Mr. Right soon.
After saying that, the three of them quickly left.
Li Mochou slumped into a chair, as if she had lost all her strength.
"Are you just going to let him go like that?"
Gu Qianbei asked curiously.
"It's not about letting him go, it's about letting myself go. What did you put in your drink? What made me have so many strange dreams?"
Li Mochou looked at Gu Qianbei and asked the question that had been bothering her.
"It added to human suffering and the warmth of countless homes. You gained a great advantage; it was a tremendous stroke of luck."
"Yes, it's a great stroke of luck."
Li Mochou smiled, then, as if remembering something, looked at Gu Qianbei again.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Because you are very much like one of my friends."
Moreover, I've always felt that it's just a failed relationship, and there's no need to ruin your entire life over it.
Although Lu Zhanyuan did wrong, it didn't warrant the extermination of his entire family.
Life has many interesting things besides relationships.
If you hold onto this kind of persistence, then everything else will become dull and uninteresting.
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou seemed to be deep in thought.
"Give me a pot of intoxicating liquor. Tonight, I want to get drunk."
"it is good."
Gu Qianbei took out a pot of Thousand Days Intoxication.
"This wine, one cup is enough to get you drunk."
Thank you.
Li Mochou poured herself a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.
A wave of intoxication washed over me instantly.
Unlike the drowsiness of a fleeting dream, this is true intoxication.
Looking at Li Mochou, who had fallen asleep on the table again, Gu Qianbei shook his head slightly.
"She's cuter when she's sleeping."
Gu Qianbei carried Li Mochou up to the second floor and settled her on the bed.
"This time, have a good dream."
After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
A moment later, Li Mochou, still asleep, gradually developed a memory that was not originally there.
In that memory, she met someone.
"Gu Qianbei... I want to leave the ancient tomb to find you, but why has there never been any trace of you in the martial world..."
Li Mochou murmured softly, as if she were calling out in her dream.
His voice was filled with confusion and helplessness.
It's like a little girl crying because she can't find her favorite toy.
The dream that night felt even more real than a fleeting dream.
It's as if this memory was meant to exist, but for some reason, Li Mochou lost it.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Xiaolongnu, who was sleeping on a cold jade bed, suddenly gained similar memories.
That year, she was only eight years old.
But she still remembers a beautiful memory that a young man in a green robe once gave her.
That memory also includes her beloved senior sister.
Everything felt so real.
Even the usually icy Xiaolongnu had a slight smile on her face at this moment.
Gu Qianbei was unaware of all this.
He had already returned to the Xiangyang branch and continued brewing Yufeng Ningyan wine.
"Everything is ready, now we just have to wait for the wine to be made."
Brewing time: seven days.
While Gu Qianbei was resting to the side, Yang Guo returned.
"Master, are you brewing wine again? What kind of wine is it this time? Is there anything special about it?"
Yang Guo looked on with curiosity.
"It's good for beauty and health. Once it's brewed, you can give some to your Aunt Guo; I guarantee she'll like it."
"There's such a wine? Master, you're amazing."
Stop flattering me.
Gu Qianbei pulled Yang Guo over and made him sit next to him. He put his right hand on Yang Guo's shoulder and said with a smile, "Master has something to tell you."
I've almost finished what I needed to do here. In a few days, I plan to go to the Song Dynasty to collect some ingredients for brewing.
It could take a few months if things go smoothly, but it's hard to say how long it could take.
Of course, I will definitely come back to visit you in the meantime.
As for you, just stay in Xiangyang, guard this winery, and practice your skills diligently.
If you have time, go to the Sword Tomb to see Brother Eagle and let him teach you some swordsmanship.
I won't take this Xuan Tie Heavy Sword with me; you can use it for your cultivation.
My swordsmanship is good, but it's not the style that suits me best.
If your martial arts haven't improved when I come back next time, I'm going to give you ten flicks on the forehead.
