Chapter 199: Miserable ShuiJing

There resided a small waterfall in the Mystical Sky Yard. Under the waterfall, there was a small lake. The lake’s water is pristine clear with few fishes swimming happily within it. Besides the lake, there is an exquisite small yard called the Moon Gazing Yard, which was ShuiJing’s residence.

Just as Little Fatty arrived at the Moon Gazing Yard, ShuiJing was seated down on a rock behind the lake, staring silently at the fishes. As though she felt Little Fatty’s arrival, ShuiJing turned over and looked at Little Fatty silently.

Although she did not say anything, the sorrow in her eyes explained everything. At this instant, Little Fatty felt as though his heart had been seen through. With an inevitable feeling of heartbreak, Little Fatty simply could not express his stomach full of words.

The both of them then stared at each other stupidly until dusk and was finally woken by the ring of the evening cla.s.s bell. They might have stared at each other for a whole day, but it was not dual cultivation. Instead, it was a plethora of ambivalence deeply entrenched in their very souls.

After regaining a clear state of mind, ShuiJing said with a bitter laughter, “Senior brother isn’t going to accompany the pretty ladies? Why have you come to see this poor, lonely person?”

“Junior sister must be joking, what kind of pretty ladies do I have? It is all just a facade!” Little Fatty hurriedly explained, “You know my heart!”

“Hmph, I’ll let you off this time!” Only then did ShuiJing grinned in satisfaction. She got up and said, “Follow me. Although I do not have any Dao Comprehending Tea, I also have a fruit wine which I hope you will like!” As she said that, she walked towards her Moon Gazing Yard.

“Definitely, definitely!” Little Fatty complied and followed.

A short while later, the both of them sat down in a guest room of the Moon Gazing Yard. ShuiJing then took out a bottle of fruit wine, poured it out to Little Fatty and said, “Taste it first!”

“Okay okay!” Little Fatty agreed and took it over, having a taste of it.

Little Fatty originally thought that it was a wine which ShuiJing brewed. But after tasting it, he felt an extremely bitter taste entering his throat, as though what he was drinking was not wine but a bitter gall bladder! It made Little Fatty’s face turn green and he wanted to spit it out immediately.

But that was something that ShuiJing gave him after all. However, due to a guilty conscience and not wanting to be rude, Little Fatty could only grit his teeth and force it down his throat. Alas, the bitter taste entered his stomach, leaving a strong bitter aftertaste.

In a bid to comfort ShuiJing, Little Fatty forced out a smile and said, “It’s nice, it’s extremely nice!”  Although he was smiling, he sounded as though he was crying.

As ShuiJing saw that, she smiled and said, “Since it is nice, you should drink a few more cups!” Then she wanted to pour another cup for Little Fatty.

How would Little Fatty dare to let her pour another cup? He hurriedly hid the cup and said, “Junior sister, junior sister, let’s stop here. Senior brother does not have a good alcohol tolerance!”

As ShuiJing heard that, she said pitifully, “Don’t tell me this little sister is just so unbearable in your sight that you do not even want to drink a gla.s.s for me?”

“No, of course not~” Little Fatty became anxious. “It’s~”

“You need not explain, this little sister knows!” ShuiJing did not give him the chance to explain and looked at Little Fatty with grief, “In any case, you despise me and has no desire to drink a cup with me!”

“I…. I…. I’ll drink, alright?” Little Fatty was forced helpless and could only let ShuiJing fill his cup again.

“That’s better!” As ShuiJing heard that, she smiled and poured another cup for Little Fatty.

Little Fatty was left with no choice but to close his eyes and swallow it. The bitterness of it was spoiling his intestines.

After suppressing the churning in his stomach, Little Fatty hurriedly said, “Alright, is this fine now?”

“No, every time you come to my Moon Gazing Yard, you have to drink 3 cups!” ShuiJing smiled and said, “Senior brother, you’re still short of 1 cup!”

“Really?” Little Fatty pleaded, “Junior sister, can you just let me pa.s.s?”

“Of course not, this is the rule of my Moon Gazing Yard, please forgive me for not being able to change it!” ShuiJing said with a smile.

“Rule? You have only stayed here for a few years, since when has there been such a rule?” Little Fatty said bitterly.

“It was implemented the moment senior brother walked in!” ShuiJing said seriously, “If senior brother wants to visit me in future, you will have to drink 3 cups of it!”

“En?” Little Fatty immediately understood and replied, “You have long known that this wine is bitter? You’re playing a prank on me, right?”

“That’s right!” ShuiJing answered candidly. “This wine was made from the gall bladder of a snake, able to reduce your internal heat, helping you to be calm. In future, I will serve you with this whenever you come and visit me!

“What’s this for?” As Little Fatty heard that, he did not know whether to laugh or cry, “Are you trying to play me to death?”

“Since I cannot impede senior brother from indulging in l.u.s.t, I can only resort to such measures to help senior brother remember the Moon Gazing Yard and remember ShuiJing!” ShuiJing said pitifully, “Senior brother, do you know that you made my heart more bitter than this wine?”

As ShuiJing said that, Little Fatty was left stupefied and understood the bitterness in ShuiJing’s heart. At the same time, he hated himself for being so frivolous. Guilty, Little Fatty frowned as he threw away his wine cup and s.n.a.t.c.hed the bottle of wine over from ShuiJing, finis.h.i.+ng it without any complaints.

After he finished it, he ignored the bitter feeling in his heart and said with a hearty laughter, “Junior sister ShuiJing, how can I compensate for the bitterness in your heart with a mere three cups? I must finish a bottle at least for sure! Every time I come here in future, I will enjoy it with you!”

As Little Fatty said that, he immediately felt regrets in his heart as he thought to himself, “Why did I have to talk so much? Such a bitter wine, I am almost dead after drinking three cups, why did I have to say I will drink a whole bottle? Am I not seeking death?’
