A small mountain village.
With alcohol fueling the festivities, the scene grew even livelier.
"Xiao Bei, when Second Elder was young, he wasn’t as good as you guys," he said.
Second Elder, Ming Tianbei, and others gathered together, drinking and reflecting:
"Second Elder has been watching you for a long ti, you’re all good kids, don’t waste your lives!"
To Second Elder, despite having no grand ambitions, Ming Tianbei and his companions picking trash in the village all day had a certain charm about them!
They didn’t steal or rob, they were diligent and hardworking, rising early and retiring late, without a single complaint!
Such good young n.
The more he saw of this, the less he could bear to watch Ming Tianbei and the others frittering away their lives, saying:
"A big man should embrace the world and conquer territories, do you understand?"
"Out there, why worry about not being able to carve out your own piece of the sky?!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Tianbei and the others all showed stirred expressions.
"Does Second Elder an... we should make a na for ourselves?!"
"Embrace the world... in this Yang Realm, we should indeed establish a piece of demon land!"
"Second Elder is telling us to expand our village’s territory!"
A group of Demon Marshals all had a sudden realization.
"Co, Second Elder will drink with you!"
At Second Elder’s words, everyone started drinking, and before long, Ming Tianbei and a group of Demon Marshals had already passed out.
"They’re really a bunch of good kids."
Second Elder smiled, placing the empty wine jar in Ming Tianbei’s arms, knowing well that Ming Tianbei liked it!
Glasses and pledges crossed, with toasting and guessing gas...
Li Fan was also quite satisfied; the three-year-old wine tasted much better.
The little kitten also drank a lot, and Li Fan, worried that the alcohol was too strong, dipped his finger in the wine and let her lick it bit by bit. Now she was passed out in his arms but still holding onto his arm with her tiny pink paws, sleeping soundly.
One by one, the Disciples had all collapsed.
"Ah... this wine is a bit spicy, but why do I want to drink more the more I drink..."
Yun Xi took a small sip and imdiately her face flushed red; she fanned her cherry lips with her delicate hands, yet couldn’t stop drinking.
After finishing a bowl of alcohol, she was sowhat muddled, muttering:
"Li Fan... I want to drink more... co on, cheers..."
She held up her empty bowl and cheerfully toasted with Li Fan. Li Fan, worried she might fall, gently supported her slender waist.
As the night grew cold, everyone was preparing to rest.
Looking at the Disciples sprawled all over the ground, Li Fan sighed.
Ah, these Disciples, their capacity for liquor is really too poor.
He had no choice but to, as usual, carry Nan Feng, Gong Ya, and the rest back to the courtyard and lay them on their beds.
"Bai Qian, this girl, she should wear her clothes properly, or she’ll catch a cold, which isn’t good."
Su Baiqian’s clothes were a bit disheveled as she ran hot during her breakthrough, revealing a glimpse of skin. Li Fan took off his coat, wrapped her in it, and then picked her up.
Zi Ling was already fast asleep, dreaming about sothing. When Li Fan lifted her, she instinctively wrapped her arms lightly around her master, a sweet smile hanging on her lips.
Li Fan tucked her in properly and then returned to the fireside.
At this mont, Yun Xi was vigorously helping to drag people. She was pulling Wu Dade while saying:
"Great Demon King... Wu Dade is too heavy, I can’t drag him... right, Da Hei, co help..."
The Big Black Dog was also biting Wu Dade’s hand, dragging him towards the small courtyard.
A complex feeling arose in Li Fan’s heart, and he hurried forward to help drag the male Disciples back to their rooms.
Soon, everything was taken care of.
"Li Fan, I really love the village... I love the bonfire parties, I love eating at together."
Yun Xi was utterly joyful. It was her first ti participating in a village gathering, and the unique atmosphere made her feel incredibly warm and cozy.
As if there were no more worries in the world.
"Li Fan... I... I want to dance for you..."
She was drunk and a bit hazy, but now she danced gracefully.
Under the moonlit night, in the courtyard, the silvery moonlight draped over her graceful figure. Her white dress fluttered as she danced exquisitely, captivating and graceful.
At this mont, she danced sincerely, as if instinctively, and was stunningly beautiful.
Even as she danced, the very chanisms of heaven and earth within the courtyard seed to move in accordance to her movents.
A gentle breeze blew, and the moonlight shone like silver.
In the corner, the Kirin Tree was growing robustly. In the soil where the Primal Divine Grape seeds were planted, a tender sprout slowly poked its head out, and the Divine Blood Herb’s light flickered...
As if they all were responding to a certain call.
Li Fan watched Yun Xi dance, and he too felt a kind of breathtaking beauty.
Finally, when Yun Xi finished dancing, her stunningly beautiful face was flushed red, seemingly from extre fatigue, almost causing her to stumble. Li Fan swiftly stepped forward and gently caught her.
Yun Xi smiled and said,
"Great Demon King… was it beautiful?"
With those words, she collapsed into Li Fan’s arms, completely intoxicated.
Cradling Yun Xi’s shoulder gently, Li Fan suddenly felt an unusual surge of emotion flow through him as he whispered softly,
"Especially beautiful."
He took Yun Xi back to her room, tucked her in, and watched her sleep peacefully. He couldn’t help but reach out and lightly touch her delicate nose, whispering,
"Sleep well."
Then he left the room and sat quietly in the courtyard for a long while.
"When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup and ask the blue sky. I wonder what year it is tonight in heaven’s palaces..."
"I wish to Ride the Wind to go back, yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are too high and cold for ."
"Dancing with my moon-lit shadow, it does not seem like the human world."
Yun Xi’s dance still lingered before his eyes. Reciting the verses involuntarily, he sat alone under the moonlit night amidst the silence of the wilderness, an inexplicable sorrow welling up within him. The more he recalled Yun Xi’s dance, the more uncontrollable the grief within his heart beca.
"Round the vermilion pavilion and low down the silken window, I shine with a sleepless light."
"There should be no resentnt, why then do the tis of parting always coincide with the full moon..."
"People experience sorrow and joy; they part and reunite. The moon dims or shines; it waxes or wanes. Such things are all beyond perfecting."
"I only hope to live a long life... To share the beauty of the moon, even a thousand miles apart."
He raised his cup as a lone tribute to the full moon.
As the feast dispersed, the air filled with a rather desolate aura, and as the wind blew, a naless sense of loneliness arose spontaneously.
After a long, long ti,
Li Fan finally stood up and departed.
The small courtyard was quiet as death.
"With one dance, a myriad spirits are born..."
The Peach Tree murmured to itself,
"After eons, to witness this dance once again, as stunning as her... yet that still wasn’t enough..."

The chickens were silent, the old hen slowly raised her head and said,
"No one can repress it, no one can escape it, even our master..."
The old hen sighed softly and continued,
"I always worried that our master would beco too engrossed in his current life, but now... I only wish for him to enjoy more of these years."
"Just now, hearing master’s recitation, I ca to realize that he has never forgotten anything, his heart filled with countless knots..."
"Height positions are excessively cold... The master has borne too much."
In the courtyard, many divine creatures lapsed into a kind of silence.
"I only hope for a long life, to share the beauty of the moon even if thousands of miles apart... the only solace for our master in this life is, indeed, the full moon... how profoundly sad."
The Peach Tree couldn’t help but speak out.
Listening to the master’s casual recitation, they all clearly saw that eternal profound sadness.
"Yun Xi... is it really her?"
At this mont, suddenly, a dragon shadow erged from the pond, saying,
"In the old days, she shone through the eons, stunning the heavens and earth, with a re gesture, she once slaughtered through the ages..."
In the True Dragon’s speech, there seed to be a trace of awe.
"Yes, once earth-shattering, standing alone against countless calamities, leaving only a silhouette to mortals... Now she’s nothing but naive and cheerful... Is this really her?"
The old hen murmured as well.
The branches of the Peach Tree drooped, as if sighing without end, and whispered,
"Do you still rember, after the master left, what she said when she went to face the calamities?"
"If there is a next life, she only wished to be by the master’s side, to be a carefree girl..."
The wind blew gently.
...
I don’t know when the next chapter will co out today, don’t wait, this chapter was rushed out while squatting in the bathroom and on the bus.
Either this month or the next, I’ll quit my job.
That’s it, this month indeed nearly brought sudden death, originally I had almost ten chapters saved up, but this week’s work pace has drained it all.
I’ve looked over all the paths you guys have pointed to, but I still dare not undertake the task of growing big and regaining glory, one must remain reverent.
I’ll save up for a flight ticket, either I go to Helsinki to pick up trash with Ming Tianbei, or I take the green train to Inner Mongolia to raise sheep.
