Chapter 504 - Changing for her

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

When night came, a male clothed in white walked out from inside the inn. The moment he entered, he saw Kong Xiang Yi standing guard outside his door. Because he was already in a bad mood and saw that she had come to bother him again, his mood fell even further.

“I already told you that I don’t have the time. Don’t look for me any more.” Third Mo wanted to walk upstairs after speaking.

“Third Lord, I didn’t come here to talk to you about this this night.” Kong Xiang Yi said with a smile, “Seeing how you’re acting today, you must have encountered something that put you in a bad mood. I waited here for you because I heard you like good wine. I happened to have obtained a few good bottles of them when I was out today. It’s an upper ranked Red Lady. Do you want to try it or not?”

Third Mo followed her gaze and saw a table filled with dishes on a table in the corner. There were also a few bottles of wine. One of them had already been opened, and the fragrance wafted through the air, its aroma was intoxicating.

Three guys sat at the side looking at him.

It was no wonder he kept smelling the fragrance of wine, this was the reason.

However he quickly retracted his gaze, saying lightly, “I’ve stopped drinking wine for a long time.”

After speaking, he walked past Kong Xiang Yi and headed towards the stairs.

If it were not for the fact that he had gotten himself dead drunk and slept for half a month, how could he have missed out on the chance to rescue her?

Ever since the day he saw her corpse, he never set foot into another wine shop. It was something he hated the most.

Sima You Yue saw that this move was useless on him, and even realised that his eyes had flashed with hatred and self-loathing. She didn’t know why he would have abandoned his hobby that he had for hundreds of years. Thinking of how he wanted to leave again, she couldn’t help but say, “Shameless Third, when did you give up your one true love?”

Third Mo was stunned as the foot he placed on the staircase immediately halted. He turned around and looked at Sima You Yue. His eyes were suffused with confusion.

“What did you call me?” He held his breath, unsure of what she was going to answer.

Sima You Yue raised a wine glass and threw it over, “You told me before that you loved this the most, that it fits you the best. You would live your whole life with it as your companion. How could you abandon it?”

Third Mo hugged that bottle of wine with surprise and apprehension written across his face. He had personally seen Qin Mo bury her. How could she possibly be alive?

However, he had told this to her alone. She was also the only one who spoke this way. She was the only one who called him ‘Shameless Third’.

Sima You Yue saw the complex look in his eyes and sighed, saying, “I promised you before that I would cook an entire chicken feast for you to wash down your wine. I’ve cooked it today, aren’t you going to do me the honour?”

Third Mo walked over to where she was in a daze. He saw the smile in her eyes. Although her person had changed, the look in her eyes was the same. This was the her that he recognised.

He stretched a hand forth to pinch her face and it was immediately slapped away.

“If you hurt my fragile skin, you wouldn’t be able to compensate me.” She said while glaring at him, “Eh? Why does this sound so familiar? Oh right, I remember. You also wanted to pinch me back then! I haven’t seen you in so many years, so why are you still like this upon meeting me!”

Hearing this, the suspicion in Third Mo’s eyes turned into joy. She had said the exact same thing to him back then. Even if someone else had known about their relationship and gotten someone else to pose as her, there was no way they would know what she had said subconsciously.

He immediately hugged Sima You Yue, saying with a smile, “You’re still alive!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yeah, living.” Sima You Yue said, “But if you don’t release me, I’m going to suffocate to death.”

She said that she was living, not that she was still alive. However, Third Mo didn’t notice this point.

Third Mo released her, then took a look at her face, saying, “Your disguise doesn’t look too bad on you. Even I didn’t recognise you. There isn’t a trace on you, where did you learn this trick? I clearly saw Qin Mo bury you. Could it be that he had secretly dug you out and revived you?”

Sima You Yue smirked, saying, “This is what I look like now.”

Thinking back about Qin Mo, her heart began to ache. Memory Restaurant… Memory Restaurant…

“How did you end up this way?” Third Mo sat down beside her and asked.

“Let’s talk about this later.” Sima You Yue said with a smile, “This is the chicken feast I promised you. The wine is also something i specially prepared for you. I won’t be satisfied unless you eat it all.”

“Got it. I know that you came to look for me on behalf of this brat.” Third Mo said, “I’ll eat the food, but forget about the wine.”

“Shameless Third, you really gave up drinking?” Sima You Yue thought that he was just trying to avoid them earlier. However, it really seemed as if he didn’t drink anymore.

“Yeah.” Third Mo nodded solemnly, “When the Ximen Clan fell into chaos, I was drunk and slept for half a month. When I awoke, I found out that you had sent word to me. But by the time I had rushed over, you had already… from that day on, I never drank again.”

Sima You Yue felt her heart twist. His favourite thing in the world was drinking. She was the clearest on how much drinking meant to him, but he had actually gave it up because he didn’t manage to save her.

She suddenly felt like crying, and sniffed. She kept the wine away, then took out a white coloured wine jar, saying, “This wine is the latest fruit wine. It doesn’t make one intoxicated. You can drink this from now on.”

Third Mo took the drink and sniffed it. The scent of the spirit fruit was mixed lightly with the smell of alcohol. It was very different from the wine he used to drink.

“Is this the fruit wine you used to tell me about?”

“There are many types of fruit wine. I have made many different types. You can come and try it when you have the time.” Sima You Yue poured him a cup.

Third Mo drank a mouthful, “It’s not as potent as the average wine. The scent of the spirit fruit melds beautifully with the fragrance of wine. It has its own special flavour.”

“You like it?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Not bad.” Third Mo nodded, “Even if I kept drinking this, I would never become drunk. I’ll drink this from now on.”

Sima You Yue smiled with joy when she saw that he liked it. She suddenly noticed a bitter face. As she raised her head, she saw Wu Lingyu look at her faintly. His eyes were overflowing with accusation.

Who were these two people and why was she treating them so well? Her own senior brother had been tossed carelessly to the side.

Sima You Yue could feel the slow waves of ice cold aura flowing from him. She took the cup from in front of her and poured him a cup as well. She placed it in front of him, saying with a smile, “Senior, it’s been tough on you lately. I have yet to thank you for saving my brother earlier. Come, drink a little more.”

Wu Lingyu saw that Sima You Yue was truly happy, and that her smile towards him was a little more genuine. However, her smile was because of other people. It wasn’t because of him. That was why he was bothered. He took out the wine that Sima You Yue had poured for him and took a gulp. After that, he left with a gentle sway of his body.

Third Mo watched Wu Lingyu leave and he said with a smile, “The Holy Son of the Sage Pavilion has a mighty hot temper. Why do I smell a little scent of jealousy in the air?”

They were all members of the inner regions, so Third Mo naturally knew Wu Lingyu. He had just never encountered him.

It was also the first time she had seen Wu Lingyu acting this way. However, thinking about how he had actually suppressed his feelings for such a long time, his temper could be considered to be pretty decent.

“Shameless Third, seeing how you’re making fun of me, you better be careful that I return the favour. You guys fill him in on the details, I’m going out for a bit.”

After speaking, she stood up and followed him out.
