Although it didn't last as long as Jinren Alley, four hundred years have completely worn it down, leaving only desolation.
But the bustling atmosphere back then was undeniable, with large and small chambers of commerce rushing to get a piece of the pie.
Small vendors also seized the opportunity before the pie was divided, rushing to get a share.
It's no exaggeration to say that it was packed with people; Jingyuan and Yuchen, those two tall guys, could see heads everywhere they looked.
"Wow...it's really lively."
Jing Yuan muttered to himself, "Aside from the day it was built, I didn't really know it had developed into this state."
Yu Chen frowned, stared at the crowded people for a while, and then turned to leave.
Jing Yuan quickly grabbed him and looked at him expectantly, saying, "Since you're already here... why don't you at least stroll around for a while? At worst, I'll treat you to all the good wine today!"
"... "
Yu Chen frowned, but in the end he couldn't resist the urge to fleece Jing Yuan.
Squeezing into the crowd, my view was blocked, but it didn't look as intimidating as it did from the outside.
Although it was crowded, there was still some breathing room.
Long lines were everywhere, and the general knew that someone with a short temper would definitely not want to wait in line.
He simply bought from vendors with fewer customers, regardless of the taste; filling his stomach was the most important thing.
...
"Mung bean soup... wine? What kind of weird stuff is this? No wonder no one buys it."
Two tall men stood in front of a small stall, and Jing Yuan muttered to himself as he looked at the shop.
Yu Chen frowned deeply as he looked at the bowls of strange green liquid in front of him.
"Do you really have to choose to eat these things that could be used as biological weapons?"
"Oh, I was just worried you'd get impatient waiting in line... Trying something new is a good idea!"
"I said..." The girl sitting behind the stall's lips twitched wildly as if she had been electrocuted. She glared fiercely at the two people in front of her and shouted, "Is it appropriate to criticize like this in front of me?"
"Of course... it's not very appropriate, please forgive me, young lady."
Jing Yuan chuckled, not trying to be defiant.
The girl stared at him for a while, snorted coldly, crossed her slightly muscular chest, and said proudly, "Although not many people come to try it, they are all scared off by this novelty!"
Once you try it, you'll naturally know how wonderful my mung bean soup and wine are!
"My development isn't anything strange!"
"If it were really that good, wouldn't everyone take a bite or two?" Yu Chen scoffed, utterly disdainful.
The girl immediately glared at her, "I, Liao Qingran, guarantee with my integrity that you'll see once you try it. Anyway, the first bowl is free!"
"Heh..." Yu Chen remained disdainful, but he was not at all resentful towards her. He picked up a bowl and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
Jingyuan's eyelids twitched as he watched, and this had been the case for most of the journey.
I don't know if Yu Chen was traumatized by something, but no matter which stall they went to, no matter how strange the food was, they didn't care.
After grumbling for a bit, he immediately got to work, fussing and arguing as if he had a grudge against those things.
"... "
"how?"
Jing Yuan asked curiously.
Yu Chen remained silent, his face turning green...
Liao Qingran kept her eyes closed, still arrogant, not even bothering to open them to see his reaction, seemingly certain that he would be swayed by this bizarre bowl of food.
Jing Yuan looked at his face and had already come to a conclusion; this was the first time he had seen him with such a look today.
But what he didn't expect was that the power of this extraordinary dish was beyond his imagination.
"vomit…"
Yu Chen... spat it out.
He sprayed it, went limp, tilted his head, and fell asleep right there.
"*Immortal Boat profanity* Yu Chen!?"
Jing Yuan was shocked and quickly helped him up.
Liao Qingran's face also turned pale because she had been sprayed in the face...
Just as she was about to get angry and scold Yu Chen for not appreciating her, Jing Yuan's shout, which was slightly bewildered, flustered, and excited, brought her back to her senses.
"He...drank himself to death?"
The girl blinked, somewhat bewildered.
Jing Yuan looked at her in shock, then gave her a thumbs up.
"Girl, you're awesome!"
The next moment, the general picked up Princess Yu Chen and sprinted towards the nearest clinic.
Liao Qingran felt a little panicked. "No way... Dad clearly liked it a lot. He was even praising me with tears of emotion while drinking it..."
A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she ultimately decided to temporarily abandon the stall and follow Jingyuan.
No matter what, it was his drinking that caused her to lose money, and now she's just running away; his conscience isn't clear...
Hilarious! The Sword Saint was knocked out by a bowl of wine from a roadside stall...
Of course it is impossible.
Upon arriving at the clinic, the doctor discovered that the idiot had been injured but had kept it a secret. The alcohol had been too strong, aggravating various hidden and unhealed internal injuries, causing his blood and qi to rush to his head and knock him out...
"I remember you were unconscious for three days straight, and I've been making fun of you about it for thirty years!"
Yu Chen's lips twitched slightly, but a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
"I do remember you laughing at me, but I really don't remember the specific reason... Did that really happen? After all, I, the Sword Saint, am not that weak, am I?"
Jing Yuan shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"It seems you really don't care about that girl. She's clearly the only one in all these centuries who has ever actively pursued you, isn't she?"
"Speaking of which, although I was the one who set you up with the fortune teller... who made the first move between you two?"
Jing Yuan looked at the two people sitting head to head in front of him with some curiosity and asked.
But his words just now struck everyone like a thunderclap.
Bai Lu and Jing Liu were still a little curious about whether Fu Xuan or Yu Chen would make the first move, but the two of them...
Yu Chen's face darkened, and he stared intently at Jing Yuan, demanding, "Don't spout nonsense! When did I ever have any dealings with other women?"
To be honest, our ambiguous relationship is bigger than anyone else's!
"Why are you in such a hurry? You really didn't even bother to look at that girl back then, but she did pursue you very seriously..."
"Although you may not know this." Jing Yuan shook his head, then suddenly frowned.
"What do you mean we have some kind of ambiguous relationship? Don't you dare tarnish my reputation!"
"Stop talking nonsense and explain yourself! What mysterious woman? I don't know anything about her!"
Yu Chen was getting a little anxious; damn it, he really had no memory of it at all.
What on earth is this random suitor? He's affecting his relationship with Fu Xuan…
Okay, it won't have any impact.
But it's unacceptable to make your wife even a little bit unhappy!
Xiao Fuxuan remained calm, glancing at her husband with interest. She hugged the kite and leaned against him, then turned her gaze to Jing Yuan, waiting for his next words.
hum~
Yu Chenchen is much, much older than her, who is nearly two hundred years old, and she's very interested in his past experiences.
Jing Yuan cleared his throat, glanced at Yu Chen who was glaring at him angrily, adopted the air of a general, his expression aloof, and led Bai Lu closer to Jing Liu before slowly recounting what happened next…
"Where were we... Oh, you were unconscious for three days... There's a tea stall over there, let's sit down, have some tea and continue the story..."
"Jingyuan...you'd better sleep with one eye open!"
.
.
.
P.S.: I wanted to write something dramatic, but just thinking about that kind of plot makes me feel nauseous.
So, this is just a simple little story.
There will be absolutely no flirtation between Yu Chen and Liao, and they will barely have any contact at all, so please rest assured.
Note: I need to take tomorrow off, something's come up.
