Jiang Mo was stunned at first by this ridiculously drunken statement, and then he shook his head with a helpless smile. Just when he was about to say something... the girl in his arms suddenly stood on tiptoe and gently bit his earlobe.
Warm breath mixed with the crisp aroma of Bamboo Leaf Green wine sprayed on Jiang Mo's earlobe, and the girl's voice, which became a little sticky due to drunkenness or excitement, sounded in his ears again.
"Hmm... On the day of my wedding with Amo... I want to wear a bright red tasseled wedding gown. The cuffs should be big enough to hide a dagger, so I can use it if I'm in danger! The hem of the skirt... the hem should be able to wrap around your waist! The bridal veil should be embroidered with lovebirds in gold thread... just like the one on the Xianzhou marriage contract!"
"I want to serve tea to Master with you, I want you to lift my veil with your own hands, I want you to drink the wedding wine with me before the wedding night, and then I will naturally become your wife..."
Feixiao's voice became softer and softer, and just when Jiang Mo thought that this girl was worried about the upcoming wedding... her voice suddenly became a little choked.
"But...but if I become your wife, it will harm you..."
"...?"
As if hurt by these words, Feixiao, who was originally clinging to Jiang Mo's arms and reluctant to leave, suddenly broke free, picked up the half-remaining jar of wine on the stone table in the pavilion and drank it.
Under the cold moonlight, Jiang Mo could see some crystal tears flowing out from the corners of Feixiao's slightly red eyes, and flowing into his mouth along with the clear wine.
She staggered and kicked the gravel at her feet, then walked drunkenly in front of Jiang Mo, screaming loudly towards the night sky, venting her emotions.
"Yue Kuang! Yue Kuang! It's Bu Liren again! It was Bu Liren who tortured me when I first came to this world! Even after I finally got rid of the past, they are still haunting me!"
"I don't want to accept my fate... but what can I do?! If I insist on doing it my own way, more people will be harmed, not fewer! Instead of that, I'd rather be alone—"
Just then, the girl's voice suddenly stopped.
The fox girl, who was standing under the bright moonlight and venting her pent-up emotions, was suddenly picked up by Jiang Mo around the waist.
The hand holding the edge of the jar suddenly loosened its grip, and with a loud "clang", the jar shattered into countless pieces beside the steps of the pavilion.
"'Let you bear all this alone'... That's what you meant, right?"
Looking at Fei Xiao, whose body was half soaked in his arms, Jiang Mo sighed softly, and then without hesitation, he put his coat on her. Then he lowered his head slightly, and after resting his forehead against the girl's scalding forehead, he looked directly into her emerald eyes and asked softly:
"You have never been alone. Even in Luo Yuxing's cave, you had Ningli by your side. And after you came to Yaoqing, you also had me by your side."
"Don't say such nonsense as 'take responsibility for everything'. If there are any problems, we will shoulder them together. Isn't that what we agreed on long ago?"
After saying this, Jiang Mo reached out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes with pity, and murmured in an unprecedented gentle tone:
"Tell me please?"
The moment he heard these words, Feixiao's pair of emerald eyes, which were slightly misty, were startled for a moment, and then he lowered his head slightly, as if he was looking for the last bit of clarity left in his drunkenness.
Jiang Mo just looked at the girl in his arms quietly, and sat on the stone bench in the pavilion without saying a word, waiting for her to reveal everything that was worrying her.
After a moment, Fei Xiao raised his head again, looked into the black eyes that were looking at him tenderly, pursed his lips gently, and then spoke:
"I...I'm scared. I'm scared that my Moon Mania will bring you trouble..."
"You are a Cloud Cavalry Guard. You just saw how many people are paying attention to your marriage. If... I mean, if..."
"If another white wolf comes at this time, what will you do?"
"They didn't succeed last time, but what about this time? They'll say it's a marriage between two time bombs, and they'll destroy the Immortal Boat at any moment!"
"Military regulations can suppress you temporarily, but they can never suppress you forever! Under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, and amidst the rumors spread from person to person, you will sooner or later be hurt!"
"Even if you say you can handle it...but what about Ningli? What about Master? Will it be difficult for them? Will they be affected by these rumors?"
Feixiao seemed a little excited, her breathing began to become rapid, and then she tried to struggle to get up from Jiang Mo's arms, but his strong arms held her tightly again, making it impossible for her to move at all.
After trying to struggle several times, Feixiao finally gave up. She lay obediently in Jiang Mo's arms, like a little wild cat that had just been tamed.
It seemed that the warm embrace stabilized her gradually out-of-control emotions once again. After a while, she spoke softly with a hoarse voice:
"I... have it all planned."
"As long as I take the initiative to cancel the engagement, as long as I don't marry you, keep a little distance from you, and let Ningli become your wife, those rumors will not hurt anyone except me... But here..."
She gently grasped Jiang Mo's arm and placed it on her chest. The mist in her emerald eyes turned into some crystals and slowly slid down the contours of her cheek.
"Here...it hurts like it's about to burst."
"I'm only one step away from becoming your wife. Why...why did it turn out like this..."
"I'm not willing to accept this... I really am not willing to accept this..."
After saying that, Feixiao buried her head in Jiang Mo's arms, her delicate body trembling constantly, and some suppressed sobs turned into muffled sounds and entered Jiang Mo's ears.
Feeling the long-suppressed emotions of the girl in his arms, Jiang Mo pursed his lips, and a hint of darkness flashed in his black eyes.
He had to admit that Feixiao's consideration was thorough, and perhaps this was really possible.
But no matter what, she can't be the one who has to make the sacrifice—or more accurately, "it can't be her alone."
Since I rescued her and kept her by my side according to Yue Yu's wishes, I must take good care of her.
Even if it's a problem... she can't be left to deal with it alone.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mo lowered his head slightly, then gently stretched out his hand, slowly held up the girl's tearful face in his arms, and looked into her emerald eyes gently.
"Remember what I said after I brought you back? From now on, you will never be alone again."
"Since this is a problem, we must face it together, rather than leaving it to any one of us to deal with alone. This goes against our original commitment."
Jiang Mo's tone was gentle, like the softest silk in the world, gently brushing away the dust covering the girl's heart.
His thumb gently wiped the tear marks at the end of her red eyes, and looking at the girl crying like a little cat, he chuckled and said:
"The Feixiao I love is that lively girl who dares to love and hate, and who can say, 'Yes, it's a date invitation, what do you think?' even under the gaze of many Cloud Riders..."
"Even if we have many problems to face in the future, we will face them together. Just like you said—no matter how troublesome it is, we have to do it. Who told me to choose you?"
"Now I'm returning this sentence to you. Don't even think about bearing all that pain alone."
Almost at the same time Jiang Mo said this, the wind started to blow.
A gentle breeze brushed across Jiang Mo's cheek, creating a sound like waves in the bamboo sea, and Fei Xiao's only remaining whimper was swallowed up by the kiss that suddenly fell after the ending sound.
Feeling the collision between lips and teeth, Feixiao's emerald eyes, which were slightly misty, gradually became blurred, and finally turned into a pool of spring water, and he slowly closed his eyes.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Jiang Mo gently rested his hand on Fei Xiao's forehead, his black eyes quietly looking at the girl who was panting from the long kiss, and whispered:
"'Words are useless, actions speak louder.' Rather than using words to dissuade those people from their guard, we should use our actions to prove to them that whether it's the blessing of the Eternal Joy Heavenly Lord or the harm left by the Longevity Plague Ancestor, we have the ability to control it."
"Just like last time, we'll shut up the White Wolf with actions and results. This way... we'll never have to prove anything again."
"Since you're worried about this, how about we wait until you can completely control your Moon Madness before getting married?"
Looking at the man in front of him with a gentle but serious expression, Fei Xiao was stunned for a moment, and his mind kept replaying what Jiang Mo had just said.
As the fog in her heart was gradually dispelled by Jiang Mo's words, the extremely worried fox girl finally got the relief she deserved.
After a long silence, the expression on Feixiao's face gradually softened, and then he nodded gently and buried his head in Jiang Mo's arms again.
"I don't want to leave you..." she said in a muffled voice.
"I won't let you go," he whispered back.
"You always said you wanted to thank me for saving your life, but now it's time to repay your debt."
Jiang Mo hugged the girl tightly as he spoke, then said in a serious tone:
"I saved your life, so it's only natural that you stay by my side for the rest of your life. This is the reward I ask of you."
Looking at Jiang Mo who was deliberately keeping a straight face, Fei Xiao found it a little funny for a moment and burst out laughing, but tears started to flow as he laughed.
The pair of emerald eyes, which were slightly watery, stared straight at the pair of black eyes in front of them. After a while, they said softly:
"I promise to pay you back for the rest of my life, so..."
She gently raised her head, kissed Jiang Mo on the lips, and then slowly closed her eyes.
"Don't... leave me..."
For some reason, the girl's voice gradually weakened, her emerald eyes gradually closed, and her originally slightly disordered breathing gradually became steady.
Jiang Mo lowered his head slightly, looking at the fox girl sleeping soundly in his arms. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he murmured softly:
"Good night, my dear fox lady."
After saying this, Jiang Mo slowly picked up Feixiao, who had fallen into a deep sleep due to the combined effects of alcohol and fatigue after emotional release, and slowly left the bamboo forest and walked towards their little home.
At the same time, Xun Ling, who had been following in the dark, suddenly appeared at this moment and stopped at the top of a bamboo branch. The judge's black jade waist badge glowed faintly under the moonlight.
She looked at the figure walking away, her fingertips stroking the cracks on the stone table caused by the axe wind, and suddenly she chuckled.
"The old stubborn people of the Ten Kings Division always say that love is the easiest breeding ground for evil, but this can tame Crazy Moon into a soft bond..."
The judge raised his hand to catch the falling bamboo leaves. The starlight flowing between the veins of the leaves was like the tiny Milky Way falling from Feixiao's eyes when the man kissed the corner of Feixiao's eyes.
……
……
One more chapter is offered as a bounty, and there are still 4000 words left for the March bounty.
Chapter 72: Black Tower: See you in the basement! No negotiation! (4.5k)
Looking at the images flashing across the black screen in front of him, Heita narrowed his crimson-purple eyes slightly, and a hint of incomprehensible dark color flashed in his eyes.
If Ester or Ruan Mei, who were familiar with the Black Tower, were present... they would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation.
They knew very well that Ms. Black Tower was angry at this moment - very angry.
At this time...it's best not to even say anything to her, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Jiang Mo..." Looking at the figure on the screen holding Feixiao in his arms and slowly walking away, Heita gritted his teeth and spat out the name of the culprit.
The scene just now reminded her of the laboratory explosion, the scene where Jiang Mo pushed herself into the escape pod, risking his life to plot against Polka Kakamu, and her own experience of stumbling across the wasteland after the explosion, picking up the debris...
"Why didn't you say 'let's solve problems together' back then? Why did you change your mind when it came to another woman?"
Heita's delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned, and for the first time, a look of displeasure appeared on his pretty face.
She wouldn't be unhappy because Jiang Mo had any intimate relationship with others, but she would feel unhappy because she was "treated differently".
Why does he have to handle everything by himself when he is back home, but knows how to share the responsibilities here?
What do you mean? Is it you, Jiang Mo, who is drifting away, or is it me, Heita, who can no longer lift the wand?
Aren't you really afraid that she'll use her magic wand to give you the 42nd level of inspiration "Heart-piercing Pain"?!
As the Envoy of Intellect, a unique genius in the universe, and possessing great achievements as numerous as the stars, Ms. Heita has considerable experience in writing papers.
After Jiang Mo escaped from the "memory bubble", she spent three days practicing and wrote "One Hundred Ways to Cook Jiang Mo", and now...
It took her only five seconds to come up with a draft of "A Thousand Plans on How to Lock the Scumbag Jiang in the Basement" in her mind, and she was determined to put it into practice as soon as she left this black and white theater.
In fact, she had thought of tying Jiang Mo up in the basement a long time ago, but considering that Jiang Mo was injured and needed rest, she simply handcuffed Jiang Mo to herself.
Now, Jiang Mo's physical condition has almost recovered, and she doesn't need to worry about so much.
Looking at Jiang Mo who had already put Feixiao, who was sleeping soundly due to drunkenness, on the bed, a dangerous light flashed in Heita's crimson eyes, and the sneer on his face became more and more nuclear.
"If you do something wrong, you always have to pay a price... This is the truth you taught me, Jiang Mo."
"Just keep owing it. In the end, you'll still be the one to pay it back. Let's see how much you can still owe by the end of this time."
Heita crossed his arms across his chest, staring intently at the black curtain in front of him, as if he was not going to miss any opportunity to make a note of Jiang Mo.
However, unlike Heita who is currently thinking about how to settle the score later... Feixiao has been shocked by his revived memories and the scenes he saw before him and has almost crashed.
This state was not only because she felt shy due to the close contact between her and Jiang Mo, but also because of... her attitude after getting drunk.
She liked to drink, there was no doubt about that.
Feixiao not only learned the Yunqi tactics and martial arts from General Yueyu, but also learned the habit of having a drink from her from time to time.
But she had only learned Yue Yu's habits. Even though almost a hundred years had passed, her alcohol tolerance was still the same as that of the playful and drunken fox.
"One drink makes me drunk, two drinks make me drunk, three drinks makes me fall asleep", this is how Jiaoqiu describes himself.
And she is like most drunk people, after drinking too much, she basically has no memory of what she did, and can only confirm her behavior through the oral description of others, so...
This was also the first time Feixiao saw himself drunk.
Very destructive, clingy, and prone to speaking one's mind...
"When I'm drunk... am I really that out of control?"
Looking at himself who was unwilling to let go of Jiang Mo's neck even after being placed on the bed, Fei Xiao bit his lower lip lightly, and the blush on his face became more and more obvious.
