155 A joyful nigh (1/2)

A somewhat drunk Hai Yang noticed that Xiang Qing had returned and ran to him at lightning speed. He hugged Xiang Qing and continued hugging Xiang Qing as he poured out his sorrows. I annoyedly ran over to them and firmly continued kicking him until he ran off to the side to whine about his pain.

One after another, the other people stood up to propose a toast to Xiang Qing. Xiang Qing drank to the point that he couldn't tolerate it anymore and almost threw up. I hurriedly poured and offered a cup of tea to help dissipate the alcohol and ordered everyone to stop toasting.

Xiao Zi helpfully put some pollen into the tea that would help him sober up, and then she curiously asked, ”Xiang Qing daren (title of respect towards superiors), where did you go to drink?”

Hearing this question, Xiang Qing suddenly blushed.

He held my hand and said, ”Your older brother is too excessive. He actually took me to a brothel to drink.”

”Oh, was the wine any good?” I curiously asked.

”How could I drink that wine?!” Xiang Qing somewhat ashamedly said, ”When I saw those women, I wanted to drag your older brother to leave there without delay. But, he wouldn't leave no matter what and he even held onto a pillar. With one of us pulling and the other one holding onto the pillar, we accidentally caused the collapse of the brothel. After we went through a long hassle with the brothel's owner, your older brother was the one who paid the compensation money. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to return home.”

”That's okay. My older brother has money. His concubine is even richer. Besides, if the two of you really wanted to leave, those people wouldn't have been able to stop you.” I hurriedly consoled him. I didn't want to him to worry.

Shao Zhong was also drunk and with slurred and derisive words, he said to Xiang Qing, ”Heh heh... men... true men... it's not a big deal for men to go to a brothel to drink. When we descend to the mortal world for missions, we would also occasionally go drink a few cups of wine...”

A cup was fiercely thrown at his head. Xiao Zi was seething in anger. She pounced on him like a tiger.

She grabbed his ear and cursed, ”You dared to go to a brothel to drink and hide it from me!”

Shao Zhong immediately tried to clutch his ear because of the pain and said, ”You shrew! Why did you use so much strength?!” Ahhhhh! Stop twisting! I admit I was wrong! Although I went to a brothel to drink, I didn't go there looking for women or did anything that would have wronged you! Quickly let go!”

”You damn liar! You said you were going to the mortal world for work! You were actually going there to do that type of thing! I won't be merciful to you today!” Xiao Zi lifted up a stool. She was preparing to carry out domestic violence on the spot.

I saw that things were going to end badly and quickly rushed over there.

I protected the stool from her and said with a smile, ”If you want to hit someone, go fight at the spot where we cut firewood near the entrance. Xiang Qing built all the furniture here. I can't bear to see any of it damaged.”

Xiao Mao very considerately brought a weapon to Xiao Zi. Shao Zhong ran around in circles to avoid being hit and didn't dare to retaliate against her.

Shao Zhong barked out, ”Xiao Mao, you wretched brat. Next time, uncle won't save you! Xiao Zi stop hitting me! I spoke the truth. I definitely haven't gone there looking for other women!”

”If you dare go look for another woman, this old lady will go look for a hundred men! You'll be the king of green hats!” Xiao Zi hit him harder without any mercy.

Their one-sided fighting was fierce. Everyone laughed while avoiding being accidentally hit. Only Tang Sanzang tried his best to convince them to stop. I was extremely anxious. What if they destroyed the furniture? I hurriedly carried out some of the important items outside.

By this point, Zhu Bajie understood that even in the Heavenly Realm there were dark secrets and hidden details. He focused on eating and drinking as he looked at Han Jing. During a break, he asked if Chang'e (lady that lives on the moon) was well.

Han Jing ignored his question. After she rolled her eyes at him, she pulled the happy and excited Xiao Cha and Bai Cai to the orange tree outside, then she started predicting their futures.

”Elder sister Han Jing, you're an immortal so your fortune-telling will definitely be accurate!” Xiao Cha fawned over her like a lackey. ”Could you tell me when I'll meet my peach blossoms and how many of them will I have? What will they look like? Are they handsome? Are they rich?”

Bai Cai smiled and said, ”You're going to go so far as to want a bundle of peach blossoms. So greedy.”

”You don't understand.” Xiao Cha and her joked around for a bit, and then she continued pleading with Han Jing.
