Jun Mo Xie drank a pot of wine out of immense satisfaction. He was so pleased that he stuffed himself with lots of food. It continued in this manner until he felt that he had restored his vitality. Then, he started to eat the myriad of dishes which were brought up in a leisurely manner. However, he was also offering the dishes to the four beautiful women in a very diligent manner at the same time.
āMiss Mei, come and taste this one. This is indeed a good item. Your feminine aspects will get nourished, and your kidneys will be repaired after you eat this. It can even make you more attractive by nourishing your skin. You obviously donāt need this too much, but how can a woman take offense in being more attractiveā¦ā
āQing Han, come, eat this one. This one can enrich your blood. Your face has been looking pale since the past few days. It makes me very sadā¦ā
āXiao Yi, try eating this. This one is delicious. You chew a little to test itā¦ Um umā¦ isnāt it very chewy? Ha ha, this is my secret recipe. The flavor is very differentā¦ā¦ā
āGreen Hunter, donāt just eat the vegetarian food. Try this Snake Stew. This is very deliciousā¦ It melts into the mouth the moment it enters. Itās very rare and deliciousā¦ā
āJun Mo Xie! Just tell me if you want to die right away, and I will help you in fulfilling your desire!ā The Snake King flared her nose as her eyes filling with a baleful expression. [This guy wants to make the Snake King eat snake meat! He has no shameā¦]
āWhat? Donāt tell me that youāre still not happy? Itās my mistakeā¦ Ha ha, Miss Green Hunter, these insignificant snakes are nothing in front of you. I will surely grab a snake king to make a stew for you girls the next timeā¦ā Jun Mo Xie continued to mock her.
Mei Xue Yan noticed that the Snake King was about to explode. Therefore, she snorted and looked at Jun Mo Xie as she said, āShut up!ā
Jun Mo Xie stopped speaking with a grunting sound. However, his head was left dizzied when he was told to shut up; [I canāt dare to offend this extremely violent person!]
They eventually finished eating. However, they still had much time on their hands. Therefore, Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and said, āIām free for the time being. So, I will tell you a story; itās a very wonderful storyā¦ā
After that, Jun Mo Xie opened his big mouth and started narrating the story regardless of whether the four women approved or not. The story Young Master Jun told turned out to be āThe Tale of the White Snakeāā¦ However, Jun Mo Xieās version was obviously different from the traditional āTale of the White Snakeā. The two snakes ā one white snake and one green snake ā were Xuan Beasts in his versionā¦ Moreover, these snakes were Beast Kings who were at peak of a Xuan Beastās strengthā¦
Jun Mo Xieās voice continued to modulate up-and-down in a rhythmic manner as he narrated the āTale of the white Snakeā. It must be mentioned that his narration was very fascinating. He had initially decided to narrate this story in order to tease the Snake King. However, he-himself also got absorbed into the story as time passed. Snake Kingās cheeks turned red when she heard that the White Lady had given birth to Xu Xianās son. She then abruptly asked him, āThatā¦ White Lady gave birth to a babyā¦? Orā¦ an egg?ā
āUmā¦ This one seemed to be a baby,ā Jun Mo Xie rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He then said, āHowever, this part isnāt exactly verified and researched to be honest. We would only be able to understand this concretely if a Snake Xuan Beast King who is capable of transforming into a human-form marries a manā¦ā
The Snake King grabbed a teapot from the table, and splashed its contents on his face. And, everyone suddenly burst into laughter.
āDonāt interrupt. Continue the story. What happened next?ā Mei Xue Yan hastily urged. The Lord of the Tian Fa Forest had been so fascinated by this story that she had even intervened and urged him loudly.
āUmā¦ That monk named Fahai became a great scholarā¦ And, he eventually locked the White Lady inside the Lei Feng Tower!ā Jun Mo Xie hastily continued the story. He then said with a twist, āHe then wrote down the inscription therein āāThis Beast King wonāt be able to come out unless the West Lakeās water dries out, and Lei Feng tower collapses! However, the bottom of the West Lake was as deep as the seas. So, how much time would it take to dry up? Moreover, that Lei Feng Towerās structure had been casted in solid copper. It had been built thousands of years ago, and its foundation was very strong. Its casting was immortal in nature. So, how could it fall? Therefore, this so-called āconditionā was merely a deceptionā¦ā
Jun Mo Xie narrated the story till here. And, everyone sighed in unison. The Snake King sympathised with the White Lady, and her eyes had turned somewhat red. Dugu Xiao Yi was in tears. She twitched as she said, āWhat could be done? She couldnāt come out for a lifetimeā¦ The poor White Ladyā¦ Boo hoo, this is so pitifulā¦ā
āI know what happened afterwards. So, listen to the following parts,ā Jun Mo Xie smiled mischievously. After all, he wanted to flaunt the climax of the story. However, the four women got so furious that they glared at him and grabbed his ears ā one on the left, and one on the right. Then, they firmly twisted his ears and said, āAre you telling us or not?ā
Even Young Master Jun couldnāt resist surrendering in the face of this classic torture technique. So, he continued with a bitter expression on his face, āSo, the White Ladyās son braved many difficulties, in order to save his motherā¦ Then, that happenedā¦ And, this happenedā¦ And, that happenedā¦ at lastā¦ he rescued her and brought her out. Then, the family was reunited!ā
Jun Mo Xie wiped a cold sweat. [I wanted to tease the Snake King, but I myself got trapped instead. And, I was even forced to tell such a long storyā¦]
āSo, it had a happy ending! Love always finds a way! That evil Fahai was damned! What was he doing in-between the passionate love of the family? His meddling had separated the couple for so many years!ā Dugu Xiao Yi wiped her tears and said angrily, āThat great scholar wasnāt a good person!ā
It was evident that Mei Xue Yan and the other two women also shared this feeling since they too nodded in agreement.
āSome good people composed a song to account the bitter experiences of this couple. And, that song was passed from person-to-person in the entire world. And, White Lady and Xu Xianās love eventually became an immortal legend in this mannerā¦ā Jun Mo Xie faintly smiled as he finished the story with in a rhythmic manner.
āWhat song? Can you sing the song?ā Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly became interested. Even Mei Xue Yan and Snake King looked at him with meaningful expression in their eyes.
āAhm Ahmā¦ My throat isnāt suitable for singing this song. I avoid singing. Anyway, itās only a song,ā Jun Mo Xie hadnāt thought that this would happen. In fact, he was suddenly feeling a bit embarrassed. After all, he couldnāt sing this song. It must be mentioned that this great assassin had never sung openly in both his lives. Therefore, he straightaway decided to refuse.
āThis wonāt work! Hurry up and sing! You still want to keep your ears?ā the four women spoke-up in unison. They also came closer in order to surround him from every direction as they said this. They then formed walls with their bodies, and blocked anyoneās eyes from reaching Jun Mo Xie within.
Jun Mo Xie whined in his heart at first. Then, he raised a hand in surrender, and said, āI want to sing, but Iām declaring that Iām not good at singing. I can hum a bit at bestā¦ Moreover, this song is very old and lengthy. In fact, Iāve forgotten most of itā¦ā
āNo! You will recall the entire song. Otherwise, weāll pinch your ears!ā the four of them again spoke-up in unison.
Jun Mo Xie had been rendered helpless. So, he was forced to surrender once again. He then closed his eyes and adjusted his mood. After that, he coughed a few times. Meanwhile, the four women held their breath. Then, Jun Mo Xie eventuallyā¦ started to hum the song in low voice.
āā¦Waiting thousands of years to meet youā¦ Thereās no place to be together, and hold hands without difficultā¦ ten years of sailing the same boatā¦ hundred years of waiting to rest on the same pillowā¦ā Jun Mo Xie finally finished the difficult humming. It seemed as if he had missed a few sentences in the song. However, his cheek had turned thicker than the city wall. And, he hadnāt cared about his slip-ups.
This was song hadnāt been the complete version. However, it was so melodious that was sad and beautiful at the same time. Moreover, its lyrics were very touching. Consequently, it had made the eyes of the four women blurry.
āIt was a very beautiful song!ā Mei Xue Yan had a dreamy expression on her face. She then said lightly, āIt had a very beautiful mood to it!ā
The four women nodded at the same time. They had heard the song right after the story. And, they had started feeling connected to the storyās characters as a result. In fact, they had felt a myriad of emotions at the same time ā happiness, anger, sorrow and joy. It even seemed that they had born and died with the characters. They had been rendered speechless for a whileā¦
Then, the faint notes of a mouth organ started to echo in the silence. However, this music was sounding like wailingsā¦ It turned out that Guan Qing Han had taken out her jade mouth organ from her sleeves. And, she had then started playing it to the tune of Jun Mo Xieās humā¦
The mouth organ seemed to be sobbing and lamenting. And, it seemed as if everyone had entered the illusory world of the storyā¦
The notes from the mouth organ lingered in the vanity for a while. Then, it slowly drifted away. And, everyone eventually came back to their sensesā¦
āIt was a very beautiful song. Iāve never heard such a nice song,ā Dugu Xiao Yi patted her hands with a look of intoxication on her face. Then, she suddenly asked in amazement, āElder Brother Mo Xie, Iāve never heard this story. And, I have never heard this song either. So, where did you hear this story from?ā
This question drew everybodyās eyes to Jun Mo Xie. Consequently, Jun Mo Xie found himself in a difficult position again. So, he coughed a few times and said, āThis storyā¦ I also heard this story by accident. Iāve even forgotten who told me the storyā¦ It was a long time ago. I remembered this now because this is a very good storyā¦ Um, weāre finished eating. And, the afternoon session of the auction is also about to begin. So, we must rush to prepare for itā¦ā
āHey! You must have something else as well!ā Dugu Xiao Yi pouted as she said in an affirmative tone, āI will dig it out of you!ā the little girlās voice was filled with positivity. However, it still seemed like a threatening gesture.
Jun Mo Xie was left to sweat. [I will have to make my own songs everyday if this little girl caught a hold of meā¦ Iām afraid that I will end up depleting an entire library of songs in two days at this rateā¦]
However, the saviour arrived at the right momentā¦
A clear knock was heard on the door from the outside. It was followed by Hai Chen Fengās voice. He said, āThird Young Master, the seniors from the Three Holy Lands said that there was something they wanted to discuss with you. But, I donāt knowā¦ā
āThree Holy Landsā¦?ā Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan looked at each other. He then quickly replied, āI will go at once,ā Hai Chen Feng quietly responded outside. Then, Mei Xue Yan frowned and stood up.

āWill you accompany me?ā Jun Mo Xie looked at Mei Xue Yan.
āYes. I will accompany you. You wonāt be able to understand these people very easily. Even a small misdemeanour on your part might offend them by accident. And, that could easily turn into a bloodbath. And, your strength is still too weak in front of them.ā
Mei Xue Yan smiled faintly. She then added with a little concern in her eyes, āIāve crossed paths with them in the past. I donāt think that they will recognise me. But, I can help you if Iām present over there.ā
Jun Mo Xie smiled faintly and said, āI think this is only about the pills. They perhaps wish to know about the man who refines these pills. Why else would such great people from the Holy Lands be willing to pay attention to a secular idler like me? There wonāt be much to this!ā
āThatās a good thing in a way. However, even these two questions have become matters of great importance at this time. And, I reckon that there might be massive bloodshed in case something goes wrongā¦ā Mei Xue Yan frowned. She seemed deeply concerned as she said, āI hadnāt expected that todayās event would become such a big thing. Therefore, I am afraid that the consequences can also be far more serious! I hadnāt expected this from the outsetā¦ā
