Chapter 977: The Inn
The golden rays of the setting sun shone on the bluestone slabs of the street.
The shadows of the two people were stretched long.
Xue Hai Fu Ling linked arms with Jiang Yan Tian, her steps light and quick like a hopping rabbit.
The hem of her red robe swept across the ground, carrying with it a faint, ghostly floral fragrance.
"Husband, look!"
She suddenly grabbed Jiang Yantian and ran towards the street corner.
He pointed to a stall selling dough figurines.
The stall displayed all sorts of dough figurines.
Xue Hai Fu Ling's eyes sparkled as she pointed at herself and Jiang Yan Tian.
"Hey, old man, can you sculpt a likeness of me and my husband? Exactly the same!"
The dough figurine maker looked up and saw the perfect couple before him.
The silver-haired man in black robes was as handsome as a god, while the red-haired woman in red robes was charming and alluring.
He was stunned for a moment, then was about to get up and pay his respects.
“Kneel! If you kneel down today, you’ll kneel for the rest of your life!” Jiang Yantian said immediately.
The masked man was startled.
Jiang Yantian simply didn't want to be too flashy.
The implication is that his leg should be broken.
If Wuhu comes out, the whole street will come.
How can we have the most fun then?
A simple threat left the dough figurine master frozen in place.
But he didn't feel threatened; rather, he felt motivated.
These words had a completely different meaning to the dough figurine master.
The meaning of the deity's words is clearly, "Heaven demands that you kneel, but the deity demands that you stand up!"
"If Heaven's will dare to bind me, then the Divine Lord will grant me the power to defy Heaven!"
"Forget about the so-called constraints of destiny. Your value is created by yourself, your future is won by yourself, and the divine will support you to the end."
He realized that kneeling was an illusion, while standing was his true self.
Christians never kneel!
"Pretend you don't know me. I'm here to have fun. My wife said so. Can you do that?" Jiang Yantian said, seeing his attitude.
The dough figurine maker quickly smiled and nodded, "Yes... I guarantee they'll look lifelike!"
Jiang Yantian nodded.
Two people stood in front of the stall.
Xue Hai Fu Ling was still giving instructions when she pointed at Jiang Yantian's silver hair and said, "His hair should be shiny, like moonlight!"
She then touched her red robe and said, "My skirt should flutter like flames!"
This dough figurine maker is doing it as if it's the most important thing in his life.
The entire process was extremely serious.
They dared not make even the slightest mistake.
Before long, the two small dough figurines were finished.
The silver-haired, black-robed figure had deep-set eyes and brows, while the red-haired, red-robed figure had a radiant smile.
Even the Netherworld Flower in Xuehai Fuling's hair was sculpted with lifelike detail.
She happily accepted the dough figurine and carefully held it in her palm.
He turned to Jiang Yantian and waved, "Look, doesn't it look like us?"
Jiang Yantian looked at the smile in her eyes and reached out to straighten her hair: "It's similar."
As he spoke, he casually grabbed a handful of spirit stones and tossed them to the dough figurine master.
Upon seeing that large handful of high-grade spirit stones, the dough figurine master almost burst out laughing.
These are the things that can change your life.
These are not many for cultivators, but they are different for ordinary people.
Fu Ling held the dough figurine, her cheeks slightly flushed.
She then pulled him to the candied hawthorn stall next door.
The strings of candied hawthorns are as red as agate, coated with a glistening sugar coating.
It has a sweet aroma.
Fu Ling swallowed hard, then pointed to the largest bunch: "I want that one!"
Jiang Yantian paid the money, took the candied hawthorn and handed it to her.
Fu Ling took a bite, the sugar coating melted in her mouth, and the sweet hawthorn flavor spread across her tongue.
Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she held the bottle to Jiang Yantian's lips: "Husband, try it, is it sweet?"
Jiang Yantian lowered his head and took a bite, the sourness of the hawthorn and the sweetness of the sugar coating intertwining in his mouth.
He looked at Fu Ling's satisfied expression and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
"It's alright, actually I'd rather you be naked... you."
"..."
"Don't be cowardly, play with me today!" she pouted.
"Row."
The two walked side by side down the street, Fu Ling holding a dough figurine in her hand and a candied hawthorn in her mouth.
She would look up at Jiang Yantian every now and then, her eyes full of dependence.
As the sun gradually sank lower, the evening glow on the horizon reddened her long hair.
It also reddened Jiang Yantian's black robe.
The two had already left the capital and were sitting atop a mountain, watching the sunset slowly descend on the horizon.
"Husband." Fu Ling leaned on Jiang Yantian's shoulder, her voice soft and sweet.
"Let's come back here again and try all the delicious food, okay?"
Jiang Yantian gently put his arm around her waist, his gaze tender.
"Okay, it's up to you."
"I'll be there for you in everything you want to do."
"But you can't refuse what I want to do!"
Jiang Yantian felt the soft, fragrant body in his arms; it would be impossible for him not to have any thoughts about it.
It looks so tempting.
It's not that his resistance is too weak, but rather that some things are simply beyond the scope of his resistance.
Xue Hai Fu Ling happily rubbed against his shoulder: "You just want to eat me."
"Let's take it easy today, it'll break."
She picked up the dough figurine in her hand and raised her hand.
The setting sun shone above.
The surrounding noise seemed to disappear.
All that remained was the sweetness and warmth between the two of them.
After sitting on the mountaintop for a long time, Jiang Yantian originally planned to just take out a magic house here and rest.
But Xuehai Fuling refused.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he knew that here, he would definitely be harmed by plants.
He also wanted to experience staying at an inn.
You can also have someone bring you food and drinks.
Jiang Yantian naturally went along with her wishes.
They went to an inn in the capital city.
There is no curfew here, so it is especially lively even at night.
There were also lanterns, but I don't know what kind of festival it is.
This made Xue Haifu Ling feel that she had made the right choice.
She then dragged Jiang Yantian along to cause a ruckus.
They didn't go to the inn until Chenshi (7-9 AM).
After arriving at the inn, Jiang Yantian and the innkeeper prepared a large room.
Jiang Yantian then took a piece of paper and wrote down a few dishes and wines.
Having a little something to drink in the evening is still quite enjoyable.
"Husband, look! There's a beauty over there! Tsk tsk tsk, she's so pretty!"
Xue Hai Fu Ling said.
"Oh, why are you telling me this?" Jiang Yantian said dismissively.
How beautiful can it be?
He was still thinking about getting some snacks to go with his drinks.
"Husband, look!"
"I won't look. I've seen plenty of beauties, what's there to see?"
Fu Ling tugged at the hem of Jiang Yantian's black robe and pointed her finger toward the door: "Husband, look! It's really beautiful!"
Jiang Yantian had no choice but to turn his head away.
Looking in the direction she was pointing.
"What's so interesting about it? It's just..."
A woman dressed in plain white stood at the entrance; her slender figure was accentuated by her light blue dress.
Her long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and a faint sorrow lingered between her brows and eyes.
He held a half-open oil-paper umbrella in his hand, the surface of which was embroidered with green bamboo.
She seemed to have stepped out of a traditional Chinese ink painting, and even the surrounding noise seemed to quiet down.
“It really is beautiful…” Jiang Yantian nodded.
"Huh? Who wasn't watching just now? They said there wasn't anything interesting to see."
"Um... but then again..."
Before Jiang Yantian could finish speaking, Fu Ling gently pinched his side.
"Hiss~~~ Holy crap!" Jiang Yantian gasped.
He turned to look at her and saw a sly jealousy in her phoenix eyes.
A slight smile played on her lips: "Oh? Speaking of which, it really is beautiful? Should my husband go over and say hello?"
