Chapter 430: Chapter 228: Oblivious to the Heavens in Drunkenness_3

Tonight the scenery is uniquely delightful.

——

In another boudoir, there was also a pair of close girlfriends frolicking.

"Wow, this is really impressive."

Dong Xue lay on the bed, and as the spring mechanism built into the bed frame activated, the imitation fists used for massage propped her lower back and began to undulate slowly.

Leng Jing said smugly, "You can even adjust the speed."

She picked up a remote-like box and lightly pressed it, and suddenly the mechanism sped up by much.

"So comfortable."

Dong Xue narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, feeling warmth penetrate her bones and her muscles relax.

After enjoying it for a while, Dong Xue said, "Leng Jing, this could be improved, like by changing the massaging fists to, um... something a bit longer..."

Leng Jing asked in confusion, "Wouldn’t that be very uncomfortable to massage with?"

"It’s not for massaging."

"Then what for?"

"It’s hard to say, but it’s very useful. Let me design it for you..."

Dong Xue stopped the mechanism and eagerly dragged Leng Jing to the design sketches, starting to point things out.

"Like making this frequency a bit higher."

"Oh, I see."

"And this part, it could be bendable."

"Bendable? Oh, I see."

"Right, and it’s best to add some sort of handles on the sides."

"What’s the use of that?"

"Don’t ask, just do it."

"Oh, I see."

The two girls immersed themselves in their chirping exchange, filled with the breath of joy.

In the room next door.

Elder sister Chun Yu held a toy called a "Bouncing Pet" ball that she had confiscated from her younger sister that afternoon, curiously examining it.

The toy, invented by Leng Jing, was about the size of a quail egg.

But it had been modified at the request of Dong Xue.

Hum—

As Chun Yu switched on the mechanism, it started to vibrate and almost fell to the ground.

What a piece of junk.

Chun Yu cursed under her breath, turned off the mechanism, and threw it on the table.

After lying in bed for a while, she suddenly recalled her younger sister’s strange behavior that afternoon, and Chun Yu’s face became odd as she realized something.

After all, usually organizing those books for the madam, one could make the connection.

"Who did this girl learn from?"

Chun Yu gritted her teeth, "She must have secretly read those books."

She picked up the Bouncing Pet, furious and ready to confront Dong Xue, but as she stepped out of the room, she hesitated.

Chun Yu looked down at it, her gaze flickering.

"Forget it, a girl’s face is thin, and it would be bad to make her cry from berating her."

Chun Yu sighed.

But she had to get rid of this thing in her hand.

And she had to throw it far away.

As the eldest sister, she had a duty to stop the spread of these bad influences and be a good example for her younger sisters.

Under cover of the night, Chun Yu quietly disappeared into the darkness.

After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the righteous Chun Yu returned.

Once inside, she changed out of her damp and clammy dress.

——

As night deepened and people quieted, the banks of Chunfang River gradually returned to silence.

With the lantern festival-goers gone, only the clear breeze and bright moon remained, reflecting off the rippling water.

In the river, numerous prayer lamps floated aimlessly, like scattered stars, adorning this stretch of river into a Milky Way.

In the shimmering reflections on the water, a small boat gently drifted along, swaying lightly with the fragmented ripples as if it were detached from the mortal world.

Li Guanshi silently drank his wine, lazily reclined on the soft couch of the boat cabin, his hairpin slightly askew.

A pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes lay fallen to one side, revealing a pair of slender, jade-like feet.

The pristine and frosty little feet under the soft moonlight appeared even more crystal clear, like chiseled ice and jade, untainted by a speck of dust.

"It’s rare to see Taoist Li looking so troubled and preoccupied."

Snowflakes began to fall sparsely from the sky, and Dugu Luoxue, clad in a simple dress with a hairpin made of thorns, stood at one end of the boat.

The female master still carried that air of purity and desirelessness.

Li Guanshi’s expression was indifferent, "I’m not in the mood for your preaching tonight. If you don’t want a slap in the face, roll further away."

Without showing annoyance or fear, Dugu Luoxue looked at the river lanterns and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve found a new opponent, and I won’t bother you anymore. Besides, I believe that you won’t engage in Dual Cultivation."

"Then I must thank Jiang Mo for drawing away a fly for me," Li Guanshi said sarcastically.

Dugu Luoxue swept a lock of hair behind her ear and spoke softly:

"In dealing with the world, one shouldn’t conform too much to common customs, nor should they be too alienated. Acts should not repel others, nor should they be overly pleasing... These were the words my mentor cautioned me with."

Li Guanshi grabbed the wine flask, opened his red lips for a sip, and said indifferently, "It seems you only listened to half of it."

A droplet of wine gracefully slid down, cascading along the creamy chin, down the elongated neck, to finally vanish into the depths of the Yunjin clothing, resting upon a gently risen spot, warm and jade-like, tinged with a soft blush...

The unintended hint of mysterious enticement led to fanciful thoughts.

Dugu Luoxue smiled faintly and said softly, "Perhaps, one day in the future, I might deny the path I’ve taken, but at least not now."

Li Guanshi continued to drink in silence.

After a moment of silence, Dugu Luoxue spoke softly, "That disciple of yours, Ye Zhuchan, is said to be dead?"

"I hope she’s dead," said Li Guanshi coolly.

"It is the first time I see you so wary of someone, especially when that person is a disciple you yourself trained," Dugu Luoxue teased with a hint of a smile.

Li Guanshi sneered, "I thought the female master was a straightforward and honorable person. I didn’t expect you to be a petty troublemaker as well."

"No matter what I think, explanations from me are useless," Dugu Luoxue sighed, "I’m just very curious, did Ye Zhuchan have any relation to Yan Changqing?"

"Curiosity could kill you."

"So could eating," she retorted.

"Then go investigate it yourself."

Clearly, Li Guanshi had no interest in answering her question.

"I will investigate, because there are some answers I want to verify through her," Dugu Luoxue said calmly, looking at him, "I came to make sure you wouldn’t stop me, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Now that you have your answer, roll away," Li Guanshi’s patience had run out.

Dugu Luoxue bowed and then gracefully departed.

It suddenly occurred to Dugu Luoxue that today was the commemoration of Li Guanshi’s master.

The boat rocked unsteadily, nudging aside one lantern after another.

Li Guanshi gazed at the stars in the sky, captivated by the view, her incredibly beautiful cheeks seemed unreal in their ethereal quality.

She picked up a jar of strong liquor next to her, its amber contents shimmering enticingly under the moon.

The woman raised the jar to the moon, tilting her head back to drink deeply.

The refreshing liquor streamed down from her lips, soaking her garment little by little, moistening her plain clothes, staining her fair skin, and even casting droplets onto her hair like beads of dew, lending her an even more otherworldly charm.

At this moment, she was undoubtedly a celestial being, isolated from the world in the midst of the chilly night air.

Splash!

The empty wine jar fell into the water.

The tipsy Li Guanshi leaned tiredly against the boat, murmuring, "Master, this world is not worth it."

The woman’s fair wrist languidly stretched, her fingers idly playing with the rippling water.

Ripples spread in circles, evoking layers of poetic imagery.

Soon, the surface of the river lit up with more lanterns, shining like the eyes of the night, dancing with the waves created by her fingertips.

The stars in the sky seemed to respond to the lights of the world, quietly shifting. Their radiance flowed, reflecting in the rippling river, creating a lustrous interplay above and below.

For a brief moment, stars and lanterns danced together, blending sky and water into one hue.

The woman lay sleeping against the boat.

In her drunkenness, she knew not that the sky was in the water, a boat full of lucid dreams pressing down upon the starry river.
