"Young Master, let me also toast you a cup!"

Li Mochou raised her cup.

In an instant, the crowd raised their cups one after another, and Xiao Xiao Mochen turned none away.

When the wine reached its peak, Xiao Xiao Mochen could not help but begin to hum.

"I am by nature a madman of Chu, who sings the phoenix-song to laugh at Confucius."

"With the Demon-Slaying Sword in hand, I take leave at dawn from the peak of Mount Huashan."

"Across the Five Peaks I seek the immortals, no road too far; all my life I have loved to wander through famous mountains."

"Mount Huashan rises fair beside the Southern Dipper, its screen-folded cliffs spread brocade-like clouds."

"Its shadow falls on Bright Lake in dark-blue light; before the Golden Gate two peaks stretch long, the Silver River hangs inverted o'er three stone beams."

"The Incense-Burner Falls gaze on it from afar; returning cliffs and layered ridges pierce the azure deep."

"Green shadows and red glows reflect the morning sun; birds cannot fly so far—the Wu heavens stretch on and on."

"Climbing high, I gaze in awe between earth and sky; the great river rolls vast and wide, never to return."

"Yellow clouds for ten thousand li shift the wind's hue; white waves in nine streams flow from snowy peaks..."

One Song of Mount Huashan, pouring out all boldness and Zhang Kuang.

Though the crowd were all people of Wu Lin, the words between the lines still made their hearts surge with emotion, their heroic spirits boundless.

It was as if the scene atop Mount Huashan had come alive once more.

"Is this the wondrous use of reading?"

Brother Linghu Chong was thoroughly envious.

Reading cultivates the heart and nature.

It seems useless, but at a moment like this, the heart soars, the spirit lifts—it benefits one's martial cultivation.

"Senior sister, why is my heart beating so fast?"

"Am I sick?"

Xiao Longnu understood nothing of the love between man and woman; she only felt that looking at Xiao Xiao Mochen made her heart pound.

As if it would leap right out.

"The Young Master is an extraordinary man; you are not ill—you have simply fallen for the Young Master."

Li Mochou's expression was complicated.

Her own junior sister, too, had taken a liking to Xiao Xiao Mochen?

But upon seeing Yue Lingshan and Huang Rong, Li Mochou seemed to have made some decision.

If she and her junior sister were together, would it be easier to move Xiao Xiao Mochen's heart?

"Yellow clouds for ten thousand li shift the wind's hue; white waves in nine streams flow from snowy peaks."

"Fine verse, fine verse!"

Dongfang Bubai could not help but praise.

Every word and line of Xiao Xiao Mochen's struck a chord in him.

If he were not the Cult Leader of the Sun Moon Holy Sect, he feared he would throw himself into Xiao Xiao Mochen's arms.

How could there be such a wondrous man in this world?

Even Hua Manlou, whose heart was like still water, could not help but hum along.

"I am by nature a madman of Chu, who sings the phoenix-song to laugh at Confucius..."

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

The crowd's heroic spirit knew no bounds; imitating Xiao Xiao Mochen, they drained their cups in one go.

In an instant, boldness filled the Youjian Inn.

Even Feng Qingyang could not help but sigh with deep feeling.

"Young friend, you truly are an extraordinary man. In my decades of roaming the jianghu, I have never met one with such soaring heroic spirit."

"With wine we should sing—for life, how brief it is!"

"Today is truly exhilarating—let's drink!"

Xiao Xiao Mochen burst into laughter at the words.

That boldness shot straight through the clouds; at this moment his spirit soared, his heroic passion boundless.

Even Xiao Xiao Mochen felt the true qi within him had advanced once more.

The Wu Lin Legend Fifth Heaven—achieved!

And the women, seeing this, each revealed looks of infatuation.

Their hearts surged; they could not help but cheer for Xiao Xiao Mochen.

To think there could be such a wondrous man in this world!

With hearts so stirred, the wine did not intoxicate—men intoxicated themselves.

Half in dream, half awake, Xiao Xiao Mochen felt two wafts of fragrance supporting him.

What met his eyes were two figures in white—Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu.

"Young Master, you're drunk."

"We'll take you back to rest."

Li Mochou was rarely gentle.

Xiao Xiao Mochen: "??"

I'm drunk?

How would I know myself?

However, thinking of his already distended belly, Xiao Xiao Mochen chose to let Li Mochou and the Little Dragon Girl do as they pleased.

In a short while, the two escorted Xiao Xiao Mochen into the guest room.

Before Xiao Xiao Mochen could even offer thanks, he heard Li Mochou's voice rise: "Long'er, do you truly like the Young Master?"

"Hah?"

Xiao Xiao Mochen couldn't help but freeze.

What had he just heard?

Was this something he ought to be hearing【!!,,!. 7?: ?

Did Li Mochou and the Little Dragon Girl truly think he was drunk?

But since he was misunderstood, he must play along seamlessly.

Xiao Xiao Mochen dared not move either.

He wanted to hear what the Little Dragon Girl truly felt for him.

"Senior Sister..."

The Little Dragon Girl blushed shyly.

"Answer me, yes or no?"

"This is a secret between the two of us."

Li Mochou said.

A secret?

Xiao Xiao Mochen couldn't help but laugh.

This fellow probably truly thought he was drunk?

Still, eavesdropping on Li Mochou and the Little Dragon Girl's secrets was exciting just to think about.

Upon receiving the Little Dragon Girl's reply that she liked him.

Even Xiao Xiao Mochen couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

One must know, the Little Dragon Girl was pure and chaste, with a peerless beauty.

In his past life, countless people regarded her as their dream lover.

But now, she had fallen for him.

Yang Guo, oh Yang Guo, it seems your woman is about to become mine!

Just as Xiao Xiao Mochen was secretly rejoicing, Li Mochou's voice rang out again: "I also like the Young Master."
