1077 Name: Di Wu

The temperature outside was -20 to 30 degrees Celsius, so the ale Sheng Xiao brought out froze quickly.
Yu Huang used the high temperature of the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame to warm the wine in the jar, then she handed it to Sheng Xiao and said, “Try the true fire wine.”
Sheng Xiao smiled at her. “I don’t have true fire. If you give it to me, it will freeze into ice soon.”
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes. She saw through Sheng Xiao’s true motive, so she said, “You want me to feed you?”
Sheng Xiao didn’t say anything. He only smiled at her quietly.
“Tsk.” Forget it. Yu Huang held the jar of wine and brought it to Sheng Xiao’s mouth as she said, “I’m two hundred years older than you. Compared to me, you’re still a child. Forget it, it’s only right for me to feed you.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiao couldn’t swallow the wine in his mouth.
He snatched the jar of wine and raised his head to take a sip. Then, he glared at Yu Huang reproachfully and said, “Can you not be such a buzzkill?”
Yu Huang laughed as she said, “I won’t tease you anymore.”
She raised the canned wine and clinked glasses with Sheng Xiao. Then, she drank most of it in one gulp.
After she hiccuped, tears suddenly welled up in Yu Huang’s eyes.
Sheng Xiao stared at her silently and gently.
She didn’t want to say anything, so Sheng Xiao didn’t rush her.
Yu Huang pressed her cheek against the wine jar. Her eyes were red and she gathered her emotions for a long time before saying in a choked voice, “Brother Xiao, I found her.”
Sheng Xiao was relieved and said, “It’s a happy reunion, so why are you crying?”
“I’m crying tears of joy.” Yu Huang got up and sat down beside Sheng Xiao. Then, she put her arms around Sheng Xiao’s broad back.
Yu Huang hammered Sheng Xiao’s back as she shouted, “Come, let’s get drunk tonight!”
Sheng Xiao looked down at Yu Huang. From this angle, he could see Yu Huang’s curly eyelashes.
“Yes, okay.”
Without using her spiritual power and psychic power to dissolve the effects of alcohol, Yu Huang got drunk after one glass. After drinking the jar of ale, she felt a little dizzy.
Leaning against Sheng Xiao’s shoulder, Yu Huang suddenly said, “Do you want to do it? Tonight?” She was dizzy, but she had not forgotten what she had not finished in the evening.
Sheng Xiao put down the ale calmly and hugged Yu Huang’s waist with his left hand as he said in a low voice, “Come.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Xiao teleported back to the room with Yu Huang.
Yu Huang laid on the bed and stared at Sheng Xiao, who was taking off his clothes by the bed. Her brain was numb from the alcohol and her reaction was slower than usual.
Yu Huang stared at the ceiling for a long time before she realized that Sheng Xiao had teleported with her.
When she spoke, she reeked of alcohol. “How do you guys teleport? Teach me.”
In the Jade Illusion Continent last time, when Mo Xiao brought Yu Huang to the abyss rift, Yu Huang experienced the wonders of teleportation.
However, Yu Huang, who was a Supreme Master, was still unable to grasp the method of teleportation.
Sheng Xiao pressed himself against her. Then, he raised Yu Huang’s hands above her head and placed them on the pillow. “Alright, I’ll extract your essence.”
Before Yu Huang could react, she was swept away by Sheng Xiao’s passionate kiss.
Yin Rong and the others returned to their rooms after drinking. When they arrived at the small courtyard, they realized that the lights in Sheng Xiao’s room were on, but there was no sound coming from inside.
Those good friends who were familiar with Yu Huang and the others’ living habits knew that these two people never turned on the lights when they slept.
The lights were on, but there was no sound. They must have turned on the soundproof wall while making out.
Yin Rong, who had just gotten married but was forced to separate from her husband, raised her head and gazed at the moon in the sky. She felt dejected and lonely, so she suddenly wanted to write a novel. Only by writing a novel could she fill the emptiness in her heart and body.
Feng Yuncheng couldn’t help but steal a glance at Beatrice.
Coincidentally, Beatrice was also looking at him for some reason.
After the two of them met each other’s eyes, they retracted their gazes in startlement. Then, they lowered their heads and stared at the floor in a daze.
After a while, they glanced at each other again.
“Go to bed early.” Lin Jiansheng burped as he touched the layer of short white hair that had just grown on his head and said, “I still have to study tomorrow.” Scholars couldn’t stay up late.
With that, Lin Jiansheng returned to his room first.
After he left, He Zhiqiu pulled Feng Yuncheng, who was still secretly making googly eyes at Beatrice, away. “Let’s go, Brother Feng. Let’s go to bed too.”
Feng Yuncheng was speechless.
Late at night, the tavern closed.
The owner closed the door of the tavern and hung up the sign saying that it was closed. When he returned to the backyard and smelled the bloody scent, he went to Naris’ room.
The owner stopped in his tracks and his expression changed drastically. He quickly pushed open Naris’ room and walked in.
Naris was lying on the ground with a wide cloak covering her delicate body. Her face was pale as she laid on the ground without moving. She looked like a corpse.
“Naris!”
The owner quickly wrapped the cloak around Naris and carried her to the bed.
Seeing that Naris’ wings were still bleeding, the owner was filled with heartache. “Silly girl, why do you have to do this?!”
The owner took out a pile of hemostatic medicine and healing medicine from the drawer under the bedside table, then applied them on Naris.
He had been doing this for a few years and was already familiar with it.
After bandaging Naris’ wound, the owner sat by the bed beside Naris. He didn’t dare to close his eyes to rest.

The next morning, Sheng Xiao woke up early and prepared to practice sword moves in the courtyard.
As soon as Sheng Xiao opened the door and was about to walk out, he saw the tavern owner walk out of Naris’s room. He looked very tired, and his beard couldn’t hide his haggard expression.
Sheng Xiao suddenly asked the owner, “I haven’t asked you your name, so I don’t know how to address you.”
When he suddenly heard the voice, the owner jumped and turned around in shock.
Seeing that it was Sheng Xiao, the owner rubbed the beard on his face and waved his hand indifferently. “A name is just a code. Call me whatever you want.”
“Even if it’s a code name, everyone’s code name is unique. We will be disturbing you for the next month, so please tell us your name so that we can communicate more easily.” Sheng Xiao seemed to be obsessed with knowing the owner’s name.
This was very out of character for him.
The owner stared at Sheng Xiao.
After a moment, he said in a low voice, “Di Wu.”
“Di is a very rare surname.” Sheng Xiao smiled mysteriously. “An elder I respect very much has the surname Di.”
Di Wu also smiled and said, “Although this surname is rare, it’s not extinct. There are a few people with the surname Di on Five Lakes Street. On this street, everyone without a past or a future has the surname Di.”
Sheng Xiao didn’t answer.
He stared at Di Wu’s back as Di Wu returned to his room, then he raised the Dragon Sword.
Sheng Xiao narrowed his eyes when he saw the man’s handsome face reflected on the black sword.
Someone without a past or a future?
