When Han Ye woke up, he found himself lying on a soft, wide bed. It was impossible for Hell to have such treatment. It seemed that he was not dead yet.
Han Ye got up and looked around. He found that the room was decorated very luxuriously. The tables, chairs, and counters were all made of jade of various colors. Even the bed he had slept on was decorated with crystals. There were some ancient animal faces carved on it. Although it was not exquisite, it was still extremely precious.
"Who can afford such decorations?”Filled with questions, Han Ye pushed open the door. A cool and pleasant fragrance blew in his face. In the wind, he could faintly hear a woman humming a song. It was very elegant and pleasant.
Following the song, Han Ye walked out of the room and realized that it was a wonderful world because the entire courtyard was underwater! It was unknown what kind of mysterious spiritual power was affecting the water, but in the 20 acres of space, the river water was squeezed out. The water flow was like a semi-spherical pot lid, covering the entire courtyard. The spring sun shone through the flowing water, making people feel as if they were in a blue sky.
There were a total of fourteen rooms in the courtyard. The room facing the main door was the largest. It looked like the main hall of the living room. On the left side of the main hall was a not-so-big kitchen. There were six rooms on each side. The innermost room on the left and the innermost room on the right were the master's bedroom and study respectively. Compared to the other rooms, these two rooms were naturally larger. In the middle of the courtyard, there were some water plants and fragrant flowers. There were paths, stone tables, and stone chairs in the grass and flowers. The heavenly singing also came from that patch of grass.
Han Ye walked closer to the source of the sound and passed through the tall grass. He saw the woman humming inside. The woman had her back to Han Ye and was dressed in a blue cloud dress. Her soft shoulders were slightly exposed, and her jade-like skin was amazing. She had a pearl and silver hairpin in her head, and her hair was tied up to her waist. She had a slim figure and a charming posture. Her long hair flew in the wind.
Han Ye was a little stunned by her back view. He felt that this woman was really rare in the world!
Han Ye was still in a daze when the woman in front of him spoke. She still had her back to Han Ye and said in a silver bell-like voice,""You're awake?"
"Yes." Han Ye looked at the woman's charming back and carefully cupped his hands.""Thank you for saving my life."
"Miss? Haha." The graceful woman raised her hand and smiled sweetly, letting out a melodious sound like a clear spring. She finally turned around slowly, and the blue sunlight reflected on her breathtakingly beautiful face. She had a pair of crescent moon eyebrows, two crystal eyes, red lips, and curly eyelashes. Her fragrance lingered around her body, making her look absolutely beautiful. The woman held a flower basket in her left hand and a few flowers in her right hand. She let the wind blow her hair and smiled at Han Ye,""Mortal, I have been a married woman for hundreds of years. I am no longer a girl.”
Han Ye was stunned when he heard that. He looked at the strange underwater world again and asked with a frown,""Then, what is this place?"
"This is my and my husband's residence.”The woman's brows furrowed slightly, and her fair face looked apologetic. She said," I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the Luo God of the Luo River. My name is Mi Fei, and my husband is the River Earl of the Luo River. My name is Feng Yi. Previously, we were taking a walk at the bottom of the river and accidentally caused the river to surge. Later, I saw you fall into the water because of this, so I rushed over to save you. I'm extremely sorry.”
Han Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard that he had met an immortal. He said,""I didn't expect to fall into the water for no reason and meet an immortal.”
Seeing that Han Ye was so open-minded, Mi Fei raised her hand to her lips and smiled.""They're just some small gods and Earth Immortals with low magic power.”"What about you?" Mi Fei asked. What's your name? Little brother?"
Han Ye had no qualms about Mi Fei and said bluntly,""My name is Han Ye."
"Han Ye? "The cold wind and the lonely night…" Mi Fei's beautiful crystal eyes dimmed."This name sounds quite sad. I think your background isn't too good.”
Han Ye nodded solemnly and said,""That's right. Father, Mother, and Master have passed away. I heard that my younger sister has gone to Mount Shu to cultivate.”
Hearing Han Ye's words, Mi Fei frowned and said with pity,""Do you plan to continue living like this?”
Han Ye slowly shook his head and said,""I don't know…I think that if we haven't taken revenge and repaid our kindness, we should put our relationship aside.”
" I don't know if I should say it," Mi Fei shook her head and sighed." But it's very tiring for you to live like this."”
Han Ye looked up at the blue water above the River Earl Aquatic Mansion, frowned, and sighed,""Why should I bring my misfortune to others? If my sister is doing well in Mount Shu, why should I let her get involved in this chaotic world? Also, she is the same…"
"Her?" Mi Fei's crystal eyes widened slightly as she asked,""Who is she?"
Han Ye thought that Mi Fei was an immortal, so he didn't mind telling her what was on his mind, so he looked at her and said sadly,""Her name is Situ Yunmeng, and she is my childhood friend. We have sworn an oath before, but unfortunately, I have a blood feud with her, so I can't let her be implicated.”As he spoke, he placed his hand on his chest and subconsciously touched the jade pendant in his lapel. He said sadly," I haven't seen her for the past eight years. Perhaps, by the time I've avenged my family and repaid my master's kindness, she'll have already forgotten about me…"
Mi Fei saw Han Ye's expression and saw the pain in his sincere eyes. She couldn't help but feel sad. Mi Fei didn't rush to persuade Han Ye, but said to him,""Let's not talk anymore. I'll lead you to see my husband first.”As Mi Fei spoke, she moved slightly and elegantly walked toward the main hall with the flower basket in her hand. After a few steps, she turned around and said to Han Ye,""Come on."
When Han Ye heard this, he put away his sadness and followed closely behind.
They walked along the winding path and passed through the thick grass that was as tall as a person. They finally arrived at the main hall. Mi Fei walked in front and naturally entered the main hall first. Han Ye did not follow her in immediately. He only looked inside from outside the main hall. He saw that the main hall was magnificent. It was not a big space, but it was decorated with jade and crystals. It really looked like the main hall where immortals lived.
A handsome man sat in the middle of the hall. He looked to be less than thirty years old. He had handsome eyebrows and starry eyes. His hair was silver and he wore a green robe. His body emitted a watery fragrance. The man looked at Mi Fei gently and said,""Wifey, have you gathered enough flowers?"
" It's not enough." Mi Fei shook her head." But he woke up."”
The man just thoughtfully frowned slightly and said,"Then there's no hurry…If it wasn't for my body being unwell, there's no need to trouble you.”"As for that mortal, has he come?" he asked.”
Mi Fei nodded and said to Han Ye, who was still afraid to enter,""Why aren't you coming in? My husband really wants to see you."
Han Ye didn't dare to be too formal, so he carefully walked into the main hall and cupped his hands at Concubine Mi.""The two of you are chatting. If I rashly follow up, it will seem a little rude.”
"The human world is full of deception. After staying for a long time, it's inevitable that you'll be vigilant.”"My name is Feng Yi," the man said solemnly."I believe my wife has already introduced me to you."”
Seeing that Han Ye looked a little haggard, Feng Yi said in embarrassment,""Recently, I went to the Flower Rain Valley for a trip. I don't know why, but I got sick. Although it's not life-threatening, my body is still not feeling well, so my wife often grinds flowers into pulp and feeds it to me. Yesterday, she accompanied me for a walk in the Luo River. She was the Goddess of Luo, and I was the River Earl. A slight carelessness caused the river to surge, which was why I harmed you.”Then, he asked Han Ye with concern,""How do you feel now?"
Han Ye smiled faintly and said,"Thanks to the two of you, I'm fine." Since Brother Feng Yi is so concerned, I only hope that Brother Feng Yi can get well soon.”
Feng Yi and his wife seemed to have a good impression of Han Ye. After hearing these words, they felt even closer. Therefore, Feng Yi stood up from his jade seat and walked shakily to Han Ye. He patted his shoulder and said with a frown,"I caused you to fall into the water, so I have to compensate you. Tell me, what do you want?”
Han Ye's first reaction was to touch his empty wine bag. He then looked at Feng Yi and said,""Do you have wine?"
Hearing this, Feng Yi and Mi Fei looked at each other and smiled. Mi Fei opened her crystal-like eyes and said,""My husband has always liked to drink. In the past, he would often get drunk. Now that he has calmed down, there is still a lot of wine in the residence.”
"It's good that there's wine." Hearing this, Han Ye's eyes regained some of their vigor. He was just responding to the saying," With wine, one can get drunk and relieve one's worries. Without wine, one's mind would be hurt and one would be troubled."
Therefore, Feng Yi simply held a banquet, let Mi Fei cook, and invited Han Ye to a table of wine and dishes. As for the dishes, they were not all aquatic products because Feng Yi and Mi Fei would also go to the outside world to buy some ingredients to change their taste. The delicacies of the mortal world would always fascinate some immortals.
While Han Ye was tasting the dishes, he was wondering when the wine would be served. At this time, he saw Mi Fei holding a plate with a jade pot and glass cup. Her hands were as soft as willow branches, and her body was as light as blue waves. With her beautiful hair, she walked gracefully to the two men.
Han Ye looked at the things on the plate and smiled coldly. He said to Feng Yi,""Brother Feng Yi, what wine is that?"
Feng Yi smiled and pointed at the jade pot in Concubine Mi's hand.""This is my favorite immortal wine. It's called 'Drunken Immortal Drink.' Mortals can't drink this wine, only immortals can drink it.”
"Oh?" Han Ye looked at the Drunken Immortal Wine expectantly and said,""In that case, I'm really lucky.”
Feng Yi opened his warm and starry eyes and said thoughtfully to his wife,"Wifey, put it on the table.”
Mi Fei placed the plate on the table and then sat down beside Feng Yi. Feng Yi held Mi Fei's delicate hand with one hand and stretched out his other hand to spread the wine on the plate. He said to Han Ye,""Try it."
Han Ye didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up the wine cup and the wine pot and poured the Drunken Immortal Drink into the cup. After the Drunken Immortal Drink flowed out of the mouth of the pot, the entire main hall was filled with a fresh and elegant wine fragrance. The fragrance entered Han Ye's nose and reverberated through his internal organs. Before he drank, Han Ye's cheeks were slightly red. It was as if he was drunk before the wine entered his mouth!
Immortal wine was indeed immortal wine. Just the feeling was completely different from ordinary wine. After drinking ordinary wine for eight years, Han Ye was actually a little excited to taste immortal wine. The hand holding the jade cup was slightly trembling. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the clear Bejewelled Nectar in his hand. He nervously took a sip of the Drunken Immortal Drink. Immediately, a cool feeling went straight into his stomach from his mouth. It was not like strong alcohol, but in an instant, it felt like a waterfall pouring down from his neck. Han Ye closed his eyes and felt an endless refreshing feeling reverberating in his body. His body floated like a fairy, and the smell of alcohol lingered in his mouth.
Han Ye had never been so intoxicated. Even if he drank dozens of jars of mortal wine, he would not have the feeling of his primordial spirit leaving his body and soaring. A light sip of Drunken Immortal Drink was better than ten million catties of ordinary wine. Han Ye was drunk. In his daze, he had an additional feeling. All the pores on his body opened unknowingly. The surrounding spiritual qi, no, it should be said that the spiritual qi of the entire River Earl Mansion, was constantly surging into Han Ye's body. Why did such a strange thing happen? It turned out that the Drunken Immortal Drink was an immortal brew. If a mortal drank it, due to the great difference between the immortal and mortal bodies, the clear and turbid qi would rotate and complement each other in the human body. The surrounding spiritual qi would thus be attracted to fill the gap. Coincidentally, the Hebo Mansion was the residence of the immortals, and there was no lack of spiritual energy in it. With such a coincidence, even if Han Ye did not enter the state of Qi Refinement, he was able to fully absorb the essence and advance to the sixth realm of the Mystic Essence Heart Technique. The pale yellow spiritual energy in his body had some orange color, so he was not far from the seventh realm.
Han Ye closed his eyes and felt for a full hour before he finally opened his bright eyes. He exclaimed in his heart,""Good wine, good wine indeed!"
It turned out that Mi Fei was frowning and worried that Han Ye, a mortal, would be in danger after drinking the immortal wine. Now that she saw his surprised look, she couldn't help but smile.
Seeing his beloved wife smiling sweetly, Feng Yi was naturally happy. His brows relaxed as he said,"Mortal brother, if you like this wine, drink more. You can take some away. Anyway, I don't drink much now.”
"Is that true?" Han Ye's brows relaxed. He took out the wine bag at his waist and said to Feng Yi,""Then can you help me fill this wine bag?”
Mi Fei looked at the wine bag and her eyes widened slightly. She was surprised and said,""Candle Dragon Pouch?"
Han Ye had never heard of this name before, so he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Seeing his confused expression, Feng Yi said,""Don't you know what this thing in your hand is?”Seeing Han Ye frown and shake his head, Feng Yi said,""This kind of bag is very rare. It's made from the soft scales that the dragon dropped when it ascended. It's sturdy and durable. Most importantly, it contains a universe and can hold many things. For example, a bag like yours can hold thousands of kilograms of wine without any problem.”
Han Ye found it hard to believe. He held the Candle Dragon wine bag and observed it for a while. Then, he asked Feng Yi calmly and suspiciously,""Can this wine bag hold a few thousand catties of wine?”
Feng Yi smiled. He knew that Han Ye might not believe him, so he turned around and placed his warm right hand on Mi Fei's delicate left hand. He said gently,""Wifey, please use your magic to transport the Drunken Immortal Drink over.”
Mi Fei nodded slightly but didn't move. She just sat there with her left hand gently held by her husband. Her right hand made an orchid shape and pointed at the door of the main hall. Her fingertips glowed with a bright blue light.
Han Ye didn't know how capable this Luo Shen was, but when he saw Feng Yi and Concubine Mi treating each other with respect, he felt a little touched and disappointed.
After a while, he heard a noise outside the door. When Han Ye turned around to look again, he saw hundreds of flowing liquid that looked like pythons flying toward him. Each " python " emitted a refreshing fragrance of wine. It turned out that Mi Fei had summoned the wine from the wine jar in the kitchen with her spiritual power. The wine that looked like pythons danced in the middle of the hall, creating an intoxicating wine breeze. Mi Fei controlled the "pythons" and said to Han Ye,""Mortal, open the lid now.”
Han Ye picked up the Candle Dragon wine bag and opened the lid. A 20-foot-long " python " drilled into the wine bag in the air. In just a short while, it was all poured into the wine bag. Then, more and more " pythons " scrambled to get into the seemingly small wine bag. If each wine was 30 catties, then these hundreds of " pythons " added up to more than 3,000 catties.
Even with so much wine inside, this candle dragon wine bag was only a little heavy. Han Ye closed the lid in surprise and shook it beside his ear. There was a faint sound of water inside, as if it was not full yet.
"How is it?" "I'm not lying, am I?" Feng Yi laughed. This Candle Dragon Wine Bag is indeed full of secrets. The wine I've given you is enough for you to drink for a year, hehehe.”
Han Ye's brows relaxed slightly and he sighed indifferently.""I didn't expect to have such a magical thing with me…"
"More than that." Feng Yi stared at Han Ye and said," There's something else on you that's also very magical. It doesn't seem to be from the mortal world."”
Han Ye was stunned at first, then he smiled coldly and said,""Humph, Brother Feng Yi is indeed wise. I guess you are talking about this?”As Han Ye spoke, he took out the jade pendant in his arms and showed it to Feng Yi.
"Yes." Feng Yi carefully observed the flower-shaped patterns on the white ring jade pendant and said to Han Ye seriously," This is a magic tool that contains immortal energy, called Bi Ling Immortal Jade. Even I don't know its specific function…" As he spoke, he looked at Han Ye and frowned."Who gave you such a mysterious jade pendant?”
Han Ye fell silent when he heard who gave it to him. He suddenly recalled the scene on Green Mountain eight years ago and felt a pain in his heart. He closed his eyes and said sadly,""She gave it to me…"
"Her?" Feng Yi looked at Han Ye in confusion. At this time, Mi Fei saw through Han Ye's thoughts and told her husband what Han Ye had said in the water grass.
"Oh." Feng Yi nodded in relief and then said to Han Ye seriously,""Young mortal, you still don't understand a woman's mind. She gave you this precious jade pendant in the hope that it would protect you for the rest of your life like her.”
Han Ye was stunned when he heard Feng Yi's words. He recalled that in the past eight years, whenever he was in danger or uneasy, the jade pendant on his chest would glow and take care of him, just like the gentle and beautiful little girl on the green mountain, never leaving his side.
Seeing this, Mi Fei continued," Don't always think that being with others is harming them. Do you know that when two, three, or even more people are together, their power will be even more limitless than when they are alone?"”
" You've shouldered so much hatred and you still have to repay your master's kindness," Feng Yi said." If you don't get help from others, it'll be very difficult for you to accomplish it alone. So, you should be able to understand this."”"I'm afraid you don't know that after my wife and I got married, she had someone else in her heart." At that time, I was very angry and didn't treat her well. I drank alcohol every day and indulged myself every day. Later on, I gradually understood that it was fate that we became husband and wife in Luo River.'A hundred years of cultivation made us cross the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation made us sleep together.' Therefore, we got along very well all these years.”
"Many fates should be cherished by each other.”Mi Fei and Feng Yi still held hands. She said,""Mortal, if you wait for fate to quietly slip away from you before cherishing it, by then, it might be too late for you to regret.”
Han Ye frowned and recalled the oath of Green Mountain and the relationship between brother and sister. He nodded heavily and said to Feng Yi and his wife,""Your words are like enlightenment. Han Ye…has been taught.”With that, Han Ye cupped his fists at Feng Yi and Mi Fei to thank them. Then, he stood up and said,""This time, I won't run away. I think it's time for me to go back.”
Han Ye was about to leave when Feng Yi said,""Wait." Then, he took a ring from his right hand and handed it to Han Ye.""If you are in a hurry to leave, it is not convenient for us to force you to stay. This ring was once a magic tool that my wife and I cultivated together. It contains a lot of water spiritual power.”
Han Ye looked at the ring. The material of the jade was like flowing water. When he took it from Feng Yi's hand, he could feel a few faint traces of cool water vapor on it.
"If you wear it, you can easily swim out of the river. Touch it, and you can use it to make clear water.”Feng Yi smiled in a friendly manner." If you meet someone who knows about water spiritual energy, it will have even more uses. There's no time to not list them all."”
Han Ye didn't expect the couple from the bottom of Luo River to be so enthusiastic towards him. He couldn't help but feel touched. He cupped his hands and said,""Thank you for your care. I can't repay you!”
"There's no need to be so polite." Mi Fei smiled." It's fate that we met at the bottom of the river. It's only right to give these things to the fated person…Go and find what you think is most precious."”
Han Ye nodded solemnly, turned around, and left the main hall. He went to the side room and took his Dragon Spring Sword. He waved at River Earl Luo, who was behind him, and entered the water. He swam out of the bottom of the Luo River and set foot on the road to the Mingjian Hall...
