Chapter 193

He had never imagined he would encounter a man as extraordinary as Xiao Mochen.

As the saying goes, when meeting a soulmate, a thousand cups of wine are not enough; when words don't click, even half a sentence is too much.

Xiao Mochen was a soulmate he recognized.

Although they had known each other for a short time, human emotions were just that marvelous.

There was even a feeling of heart-fluttering excitement.

Even if he couldn't reveal his identity, just staying together like this was a kind of happiness.

"It's a pity, I've grown accustomed to being carefree!"

"Tasting the world's fine wines and delicacies."

"Making friends with heroes from all walks of life, admiring stunning beauties—"

"Riding the fastest horses, crossing the highest mountains; that is what I truly desire."

Xiao Mochen let out a long sigh.

Dongfang Bubai's proposal was very attractive.

He liked it very much.

But if he were to stay in one place for a long time, it would become boring.

Having come to this Nine Provinces world, he naturally had to witness the splendor of this world.

Savoring life, and incidentally stepping onto the peak of the Martial Dao.

Becoming the number one person in the Nine Provinces.

As for what he would want to do after achieving his goal?

Or perhaps, if he grew tired of his current life, what would he want to do?

Future matters will be discussed in the future.

For now, one should enjoy life.

Isn't the Martial Dao all about following one's heart and being carefree?

"Brother Xiao's words are absolutely correct."

"We both share the same goal; I toast you!"

Lu Xiaofeng raised his cup.

Having wandered the Jianghu for all these years, hadn't he also done so to see the beauties of every land, drink the wines of the Nine Provinces, and admire the scenery of the Nine Provinces?

It was just that the Nine Provinces were vast, and to travel them completely—

I fear it would take a decade or two, or even several decades of effort.

It is rare to meet someone like-minded; one must toast them.

"Bottoms up!"

Xiao Mochen never refused a drink.

The title of 'Wine Immortal' brought him into a state between half-drunk and half-sober.

He felt boundless heroism in his heart, feeling immensely comfortable.

Xiao Mochen liked this feeling of being drunk yet not quite drunk.

"Young Master, I also toast you."

"In the days to come, please take care of me."

Lin Chaoying raised her cup.

Xiao Mochen made her feel incredibly relaxed.

She had never felt this way before, and her heart seemed immensely joyful.

This was a man who could stir the emotions of those around him.

Being by his side, it seemed as if all worries had drifted away.

This made Lin Chaoying very happy.

The repression of these years in the Ancient Tomb had completely vanished without a trace.

It even allowed Lin Chaoying to rediscover the feeling of her youth.

"The rest of your life is long; what do you want me to take care of for you?"

Xiao Mochen leaned close to Lin Chaoying and breathed into her ear.

Even the dashing and heroic Lin Chaoying couldn't help but blush.

Thinking of how she had traversed the Jianghu for decades, who would dare to tease her like this?

But now, she was actually being teased by Xiao Mochen, who was decades her junior.

However, this feeling—

She actually didn't reject it.

There was even a trace of joy.

"Little brother, do you really not mind this older sister?"

Lin Chaoying said softly.

"Older sister is so beautiful, who would mind?"

Xiao Mochen chuckled.

Others didn't understand the charm of a mature woman.

Did he not understand it?

Lin Chaoying was originally as passionate as fire, daring to love and hate.

It was only because of Wang Chongyang that she became lonely and indifferent.

Once her nature was liberated, tsk tsk tsk.

"Brother Martial Brother, I also toast you!"

However, before Xiao Mochen could continue the conversation, Huang Rong had already come over with a wine cup.

Although there was a smile on her face, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Homesick?"

Xiao Mochen saw Huang Rong's mood at a glance and couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.

"Mm!"

Huang Rong nodded.

This was her first time running away from home.

The outside world was wonderful, but after a long time, she also missed Taohuadao.

"After the Martial Arts Discussion ends, we will go back."

Xiao Mochen comforted her.

"Mm, can Brother play a tune for me?"

Huang Rong nodded obediently.

Hearing this, Xiao Mochen nodded, downed a cup of fine wine, and went straight to a zither player.

Once the zither player stood up to offer his seat, Xiao Mochen sat down and began to play.

A song of 'Blue Sea, Tidal Heart', as if crashing waves and surging tides.

At this moment, everyone seemed to see the boundless ocean.

The waves were surging, but then the zither sound shifted.

Everyone seemed to hear a gentle breeze and fine rain, with shimmering light on the water.

This zither sound was at times as gentle as the wind, at times stirring and intense.

It even made everyone's hearts move along with it.

"I didn't expect Brother Xiao to not only have superb martial arts but also be a master of the zither!"

"If there is a perfect person in this world, I fear it must be Brother Xiao."

Linghu Chong's mood was stirred.

Usually, Yue Buqun wouldn't allow him to drink.

Today, everyone present was a lover of wine.

Linghu Chong felt immensely happy.

Xiao Mochen was truly an immortal descended to earth.

He was completely won over.
