Chapter 708 - Reunited and It Feels So Good (2/2)
Gu Weiwei noticed the tears and thought that perhaps she looked very similar to this Apprentice-Sister of this Daoist. Ever since she indirectly brought death to the two men, people looked at her as if she was a demonic god. Although the behavior of this Dao Master was odd, his gaze made her feel the warmth that she had not felt in a long time.
She was delighted but also sad.
Gu Weiwei held back her tears and responded in a gentle voice, ”Dao Master, I am indeed not your Apprentice-Sister. What is your name and where are you from?”
The Daoist responded, ”My name is Shen Lian, I am from….” He tried very hard to think but he continued, ”I have forgotten where I came from. I think it was a mountain and you were there, so was everyone else.”
Gu Weiwei sighed. It seemed that this Dao Master had forgotten many things. It was fortunate that he remembered his name but her current circumstances would not allow her to help him.
She said, ”Dao Master Shen, why don't you come in and have something to eat. It is too cold out there.”
Shen Lian shook his head and said, ”I do not want to eat. This is a restaurant, why don't you get me some wine. It seemed that I started forgetting things after drinking a cup of wine. Once I start recalling, I will be able to confirm if you are indeed my Apprentice-Sister.”
Gu Weiwei responded, ”Then I will bring you some hot wine so you can warm yourself up.” She thought about the cold weather and it would be good for Dao Master Shen to warm his body up with some wine.
Shen Lian got up and Gu Weiwei followed suit. Shen Lian was half a head taller than her. If it was not for his unkempt facial hair, he actually had a nice figure.
She always thought that the saying 'One pound extra was too much and one pound less was too little' was only applicable for girls. She realized that it was a perfect description for Dao Master Shen.
Besides that, she also noticed one thing. Judging by how unkempt Dao Master Shen looked, it was safe to say that it has been a while since he last cleaned up himself. His hair and facial hair may be messy but it was not greasy and he was not smelly. In fact, he oozed a faint fragrance that reminded her of the budding sprouts of spring.
She was curious but was too embarrassed to ask.
Gu Weiwei skilfully heated up a jug of wine. The fire just started and had yet to reach the optimal temperature but Shen Lian wanted to reach out to the jug of wine and drink it directly.
Gu Weiwei stopped him and said, ”Dao Master Shen, the wine is not heated yet.”
Shen Lian responded, ”It is heated.”
Gu Weiwei was stunned as she heard the sizzling sound from the jug as the scent of the wine spread out. It was strange as she placed the jug on the stove just moments ago.
Before she could make sense of things, Shen Lian has poured two cups of wine. He placed one cup in front of her and said, ”Apprentice-Sister, you should drink too.”
Gu Weiwei was extremely curious. Before she could correct Shen Lian, the cup of wine was already in front of her lips. She tilted the cup slightly and the warm wine entered her mouth.
A warm current dispersed into her limbs and bones. The hot soaring heat made her face looked like a flower in full bloom. It was a fascinating blush.
But she downed the drink so hastily that it scalded her lips.
A finger was placed on her lips and a chilly breeze entered her lips, taking out the discomfort she felt earlier. She licked her lips and the scalded skin fell off. It was just that she seemed to have licked Shen Lian's finger.
