3568 Promise
However, as the two were talking, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu arrived at the cave’s entrance. Smelling the aroma of meat, Feng Jiu inhaled deeply. “I’m starving. The smell of this meat is so fragrant.”
When they saw them return, they both were startled. Ye Ling gave a slight smile, while Song Yiping answered with a smile, “It’s good that you’re back. We were just talking about whether we should go out and look for you.”
After washing her hands, Feng Jiu sat down by the fire. “It’s a good thing you didn’t go out; otherwise, we’d probably have to go out and look for you, too.”
She cut a piece of meat and gave it to Xuanyuan Mo Ze after he washed his hands and sat down. She cut herself another piece and ate it. Then, when she saw that almost none of the roasted meat had been eaten, she asked, “Are you both fools, not eating the well-roasted meat? Cut some and eat it while it’s hot. However, Ye Ling shouldn’t eat too much meat. Just drink the remaining snake soup.”
“Madam Ling, did you bring that thing back?” Song Yiping asked as he cut a small piece of meat for Ye Ling.
“I brought it back,” Feng Jiu replied briefly. She let out a soft sigh as she thought about the spirit monkey who had been eaten by a ferocious beast. “Let’s not talk about that. Come, I’ll pour you a cup of wine. We’ll be going our separate ways tomorrow, so think of this as a goodbye.”
She smiled, took out some wine from her space, and poured a cup for each person. “Luckily, we have roasted meat to go with the wine.”
“Thank you,” Song Yiping raised his glass to toast both of them. “I hope we’ll meet again, Master Ling and Madam Ling. Thank you for these past few days. As a token of my gratitude, I will drink this cup.”
He drained the cup and felt a surge of spirit energy in his abdomen. The wine was full-bodied and fragrant, and he could not help but praise, “Good wine!”
“Drink up!” Feng Jiu also drank her cup and had another piece of roasted meat.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who sat next to her, didn’t say much. He just helped her cut the roasted meat and poured the wine.
As they drank, they began to chat more. When the night grew deep and Feng Jiu started to feel a bit tipsy, she said, “I can tell you, there is a way to turn Ye Ling’s white hair back to black, but it’s a bit difficult. Hic!”
She burped as she spoke. When Xuanyuan Mo Ze noticed her slightly slurred speech and her flushed cheeks, he wrapped her in his cloak.
When Song Yiping, who was slightly drunk, heard this, his eyes lit up. “There’s a way? What, what is it?”
“Hmm, the medicinal materials are hard to find: a thousand-year-old fleeceflower root, and a thousand-year-old…” She leaned into Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s embrace, listing a few medicinal herbs, which Song Yiping secretly memorized.
“In the future… hic!” She burped again and continued, “If you gather these ingredients, I can help you refine a medicinal pill. As long as she takes the pill, hehe, I guarantee her white hair will turn black!”
Song Yiping was so excited by the news that he abandoned any thoughts of drinking after hearing it. “How can I find you in the future?”
“Hehe, I’m easy to find, but also not so easy to find,” she chuckled, looking at Song Yiping with a somewhat tipsy expression. “But you just need to know that I’m the best at alchemy and medicine.”
After seeing that she was drunk, Xuanyuan Mo Ze hugged her. “Alright, don’t drink too much. Go to sleep!” After saying that, he wrapped the cloak around her completely, covering her head to toe.
