Chapter 451 Unhappiness

You woke up, my little fish. Do you remember the morning?

…

When the innkeeper read this poem, she showed her beautiful posture, soft voice and attractive eyes. It was impossible for a normal man to feel nothing.

But Li Ye was familiar with this poem and could recite it when he was on the earth, so when he heard this poem, he could not help but be shocked.

Then he interrogated the innkeeper and learned that it was Wu You who planned this matter tonight.

So now he was standing in front of the Duchess.

He had already loved the Duchess, but now, there were more feelings that couldn’t be described in his love. Although he was not entirely sure what they were, he had already had a comparatively accurate guess.

Li Ye finally spoke out the promise that should have been given to the Duchess early. The reason why he did not say it before was that he didn’t like to make empty promises. He wanted to do it directly when the Duchess returned to Pinglu safely.

But now Li Ye found that girls needed a promise in most cases.

After Wu You heard Li Ye’s serious words, she froze there and didn’t move, as if she had been hit by lightning. She looked up at Li Ye blankly with big, watery eyes, which were full of thousands of words, but she didn’t know how to say them.

A moment later, she threw herself into Li Ye’s arms with a whoop, jumping like a capering sparrow. She was so happy that she forgot everything now.

Li Ye felt… his chest was very painful… because it had been hit by the Duchess’ shoulder. After all, the body strength of the Duchess was too strong now. While she was running, there would be many big holes on the ground when she jumped and fell.

Standing on the branch and looking at Li Ye and the Duchess who were embracing each other, the sparrow took a long sigh of relief. He put down his wing that covered his chest and said to himself, “I said. It’s just a poem and there would be no problem. Although Li Ye is different and doesn’t look like a normal person, he can’t be the… Forget it, and don’t mention that.”

The sparrow didn’t stare at Li Ye and the Duchess all the time. As a single sparrow, he didn’t feel necessary to abuse itself by looking at the sweet couple, so he took back his eyes decisively.

Tonight’s moonlight was bright. It was the 16th day of a lunar month again. The full moon was high, and stars were dimmed by the bright moon. The sparrow looked up at the sky and his eyes gradually became distant and disappointed. “The moon at the 16th day of a lunar is the most bright… why is it full when people say goodbye… the moon is full again and another year has passed…”

The sparrow murmured, absent-minded. He remembered his old friends, past events, and hometown, and gradually became incoherent in speech.

The innkeeper, standing at the door, had been nervous since Li Ye went to the Duchess.

She was so conflicted and tangled. She didn’t expect to fail again tonight. With such beautiful sentences and delicious food, she still failed to get a chance from Li Ye. She felt frustrated, and the confidence she had managed to build up in the day quietly collapsed at this moment.

But she didn’t have time to consider her failure. When Li Ye appeared behind the Duchess, she felt that the Duchess was over. She could see that Li Ye’s expression was different tonight and felt that he might be really angry… If Li Ye didn’t accept her, he would be really angry with the Duchess.

She thought that the Duchess would be scolded by Li Ye, so she was worried about the Duchess. Unexpectedly, Li Ye said that to the Duchess instead. At that moment, the innkeeper was stunned and her mind was mixed. She couldn’t tell what it was like.

The moonlight lengthened her thin figure. She raised her hand and her fingers slipped across her face. Her eyes gradually became bitter. She lamented herself lonely.

She saw clearly that at the other end of the courtyard wall was the world of Li Ye and Wu You. Although they were only separated by one wall, she could not cross it.

She didn’t know what had happened between Li Ye and Wu You, but she thought it must be something that was very unforgettable. Only in this way could Li Ye cherish the Duchess like that and turn a blind eye to her.

The innkeeper left the courtyard, and her eyes gradually became firm. “I have affection, while you don’t have. In this case, it’s better for me to concentrate on the great cause of the demon clan the great sage entrusted to me, so I can avoid woolgathering.”

Wu You jumped excitedly for a while. She looked up and saw Li Ye’s gentle eyes, and suddenly blushed. Only then did she remember that girls should be reserved. So she said nothing and ran away shyly while carrying her skirt’s hemline. Soon, she went up to the attic and hid in the room.

Li Ye was speechless about the Duchess’ behavior. At last, he could only shake his head and was about to go back to the house to eat fish. He hadn’t had supper yet.

While walking through the veranda, Li Ye saw the sparrow staring at the moon in the branches, which seemed very lonely. He said, “Sparrow, come down to eat fish?”

The sparrow sobered. He kept silent for a moment and suddenly asked, “Do you have alcohol?”

Li Ye chuckled and said, “Does a bird drink?”

Hearing that, the sparrow was unhappy. He said with pride on face, “Why can’t I drink? As the Super Sparrow, I can do many things! It’s your great honor that I will follow you and help you!”

Seeing that the sparrow was so proud and arrogant, Li Ye joked, saying, “The Super Sparrow can’t drink, but little sparrow can.”

Hearing that, the sparrow immediately had no character. He said with a flattering smile on his face, “Okay, little sparrow. I am the little sparrow. Your Highness, would you mind awarding the little sparrow a pot of alcohol?”

Li Ye was pleased by the sparrow’s human-like look. He said with a smile on his face, “Come on, get off and drink!”

“Here I am!”

The demon leopard was still sitting upright in the yard with his arms crossed.

The demon leopard always looked like a lonely and indifferent expert. He never spoke to anyone actively. He was like an independent demon, who was not very popular. But he worked as a guard with due diligence. Therefore, Li Ye felt that he could not treat him unfairly, and also invited him to come into the house to drink.

The demon leopard didn’t refuse. He got up and came to the house.

Since the sparrow and the demon leopard were sitting by the table, Li Ye felt that they couldn’t drink alcohol without You Daxiao, so he invited him, too.
