XIAO SHUXIANG'S

302 - The Moon's Current Store

The famous wine shop in the Big Dipper City was named Moon Flow. It has one two-story main building and a building that serves as an inn.

The lights in this place are candles made from honeycomb and animal fat, some are also illuminated with torches of bamboo pieces.

The Moon's current has a sky-blue feel, and at night like this.. This place has its own beauty.

In the main building, precisely in the innermost room close to the lotus pond.. Xiao Shuxiang was drinking wine with his friends.

Jing Mi and Hou Yong had already finished each of the two small pots of wine, while Siu Yixin had drunk the wine from her third small pot.

Nie Shang and Ling Lang Tian drank the wine using a ceramic cup, unlike Xiao Shuxiang who directly drank it from a small pot.

Only Mo Huai was completely unwilling to drink wine despite having been offered several times by his friends, while Lan Guan Zhi drank the intoxicating wine made by Xiao Shuxiang.

".. Although it was not as delicious as the Dragon Emperor Arak, but this was also the best wine. Really good,"

Xiao Shuxiang called for a servant nearby and asked to bring along another wine-filled urn, this time a larger one.

The waiter, a 23-year-old man, was visibly excited. This was obviously because of the many customers, only Xiao Shuxiang and his friends asked to bring the best wine.

"Brother Xiao, you are not usually this generous.. Is it possible that it will snow in the Middle Continent?"

Jing Mi knew very well that Xiao Shuxiang was a very stingy young man, making him spend money was tantamount to 'pinched the fast running buffalo horn'. In the sense of the word, it's something impossible.

"Brother Jing, you should know.. Xiao Shuxiang would never be stingy in two things. The first is to pay the debt and the second is to spend the money to buy wine,"

Xiao Shuxiang smiled as he said so, his face still looking calm and there was no sign of him being drunk at all. In fact, the best wine in Kedai Arus Bulan is famous for its concentration.

In addition to wine, there was also a large tray of boiled beans, Nie Shang who ordered this. For him, if there is wine.. Then there must be boiled beans accompanying, then it can be called a wine drinking party.

"It feels soothing if there is no Big Brother Lu Yang Beautiful. Honestly speaking, she was very noisy and her will had to be obeyed, she was completely different from Aunt WeiWei,"

Jing Mi started eating the boiled beans she had just peeled. His words just now got an agreeable nod from Nie Shang, Hou Yong, and Xiao Shuxiang.

"Well, you used to love my mother so much that you wanted to propose to her, how do you feel now Brother Jing?"

"Brother, Aunt WeiWei has always been the first love deeply ingrained in the heart. No one can replace Aunt WeiWei, even if all the beautiful girls come and propose to me,"

Hou Yong, "It's not just you who likes Aunt WeiWei, she's also my first love. A soft smile and a touch of her delicate hand.. Has made my heart melt,"

It seemed that Xiao Shuxiang had already made the mistake of talking about his mother.

".. You guys look so crazy about my beautiful mother, even though I'm the one whose own son's not up to that much,"

"Brother Xiao, you don't understand. For me and for all my brothers.. Aunt WeiWei has become our goddess. I admit Aunt WeiWei's beauty has not matched Miss Ling's beauty, but still.. Aunt WeiWei will always be in the heart,"

Nie Shang nodded in agreement with Hou Yong's words, adding that he was just like Jing Mi and Hou Yong, who liked Xiao Shuxiang's mother.

"♬♩ She is indeed a good woman, I also like her, yo♪♩"

Lan Guan Zhi, Ling Lang Tian, and Mo Huai had all been silent since just now while watching their friends. The three of them preferred to be listeners, especially when Jing Mi started telling her experience when she first set foot in the Middle Continent.

".. We have just come and have already been greeted with a warrior fight against cultivators. I who do not know anything even get dragged into the fight, haiih.. Really bad experience,"

Jing Mi downed the wine in her small pot, the tip of her nose was flushed red, it was apparent that she was getting drunk.

"Indeed in this continent most cultivators and warriors never get along. They will look for problems if they are meeting, including even trivial problems.."

Ling Lang Tian started to open his voice after having a chance to become a listener. He told Xiao Shuxiang and his friends not to be provoked if there were warriors trying to make a fuss with them.

".. This place is loud, even an accidental unwillingness can result in a massacre,"

"That's right," Mo Huai agreed to Ling Lang Tian's remark, ".. I saw him at the inn. At that time there was a new customer coming, he just stared at the usual towards another customer who was sitting quietly, but had not had time to catch his breath.. An all-out fight ensued between them. They had met for the first time,"

Mo Huai shook his head while clucking in horror, he felt grateful because he had not sat down until he could run away. Otherwise, he might have become a piece of meat by now.

"What was that time? When Siu Yixin and I received a guest?" Nie Shang remembered hearing the noise on the ground floor, indeed it was quite a distance away from his room and Siu Yixin was.

Mo Huai nodded, "That's right. That day I was allowed to go out to eat, and also because I didn't want to interrupt your meeting. But unexpectedly I was almost in a dangerous situation,"

"Mo Huai, there is no truly safe place in this world. You have to be strong to protect yourself,"

Xiao Shuxiang poured wine on his ceramic cup and began to tell him about his experiences in the Northern Continent. He said he had been dragged into the fight because he was taken hostage by people he did not recognize.

".. Whereas that day Hu Li and I were just going to eat while waiting for the snowfall to subside, but it was unexpected that someone directly put his sword on my neck. And worst of all, good food on the new table I'll eat a chopstick,"

Xiao Shuxiang lowered his head while massaging his forehead with his left hand, ".. And you know what almost made me cry? That's when I saw good food being wasted,"

"Brother Xiao, are you more worried about food than yourself? Your neck is plastered with a sword blade but you're worried about food, you're this.."

Jing Mi and Hou Yong did not stop thinking, the two then asked how Xiao Shuxiang could escape from the person who held him hostage. Don't tell me, this brother is directly wearing Yinng xiong.

Xiao Shuxiang smiled, "I didn't do it.. I just waited until that guy let me go. We didn't have any problems and at that time he seemed to be in a desperate state, so I let him do whatever he wanted,"

I don't know why Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and Nie Shang were upset. The three of them did not believe their Brother Xiao could be this good. Though Xiao Shuxiang shouldn't have been so naive, he might have lost his head if it continued like that.

".. You should have fought him, brother. Care for your own safety,"

Jing Mi seemed to be forgetting something important, Xiao Shuxiang was a person who liked to take risks.

This brother will never care about the safety of himself or others as long as what he wants is fulfilled, and at least.. Give him the answer to his question.

Just like now, Xiao Shuxiang could be seen smiling, occasionally joking, and chatting casually with his friends as if without any burden.

In fact, deep in his mind.. He was trying hard to think of a way to lure out his true enemy.

Elsewhere, right next to the room belonging to Xiao Shuxiang and his friends were.. Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han were standing with their ears against the wooden wall.

The two had since continuously eavesdropped on Xiao Shuxiang's conversation with his friends, even the servants in the room could only watch the strange behavior of their customers.

"Young Master Gong, are we going to continue like this? I didn't hear much of what they were talking about.."

"Sat.. You need to shut up and put your ears on, all right,"

The voice in the next room was too small, so Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han had to breathe slowly in order to hear Xiao Shuxiang's conversation with his friends.

For about an hour and a half Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han eavesdropped.. They were quite well informed, one of them was that Nie Shang was planning to build an inn business in Big Dipper City, himself had the support of Xiao Shuxiang and his other friends.

Even Jing Mi and Hou Yong volunteered to help. Both of them said they were very good at building houses, so Nie Shang sat down and gave orders.

"The Skull Sword Party?!"

!!

Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han's voice was so loud, both of them instantly shut their mouths as they only realized they were eavesdropping. It was fortunate that their exclamations along with those of Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and Nie Shang.. So that neither Xiao Shuxiang, Lan Guan Zhi, Ling Lang Tian, nor Mo Huai were aware of it.

"Brother Xiao, are you aware of what you're doing?!"

Jing Mi's hand seemed to tremble as she held Saka Daksa's sword that Xiao Shuxiang had pulled out from inside her Semestal Bracelet.

The large sword is skull-shaped at the end of its handle, the blade is wide and sharp.. With a shiny silvery color, it was clearly the heirloom sword of the Skull Sword Party.

"Brother Xiao.. You've made a big deal,"

It wasn't Jing Mi who did it, but it was her who felt limp. Although he had not long lived in the Middle Continent, yet Jing Mi knew enough with the Skull Sword Party.

On the Border between the Northern Sky Empire and the Central Sky Empire was a region covering three cities, the place was more famous as the Black Banyan Forest. That's where the Skull Sword Party is.

".. They are the worst nightmare on the continent. That party is the first largest of the Black Stream, the Sky Pagoda Sect does not want to look for trouble with them, but you are.."

Jing Mi felt her head almost explode, she was already goosebumps first before telling the lunge of the disciples of the Skull Sword Party to Xiao Shuxiang.

Ling Lang Tian was neither upset nor angry when Jing Mi mentioned his sect name, because it was true what the big, muscular young man said. The Sky Pagoda Sect was indeed unwilling to get into trouble with the Skull Sword Party.

Actually, it did not mean that the Sky Pagoda Sect was weak. But if until they fight, then not the victory that can be obtained.. But it is precisely loss.

".. They definitely won't let you go" Ling Lang Tian spoke so calmly, himself drinking some wine back in his cup somehow.

"You love to look for trouble and your actions have us involved,"

Lan Guan Zhi spoke calmly and without the slightest emotion, yet Xiao Shuxiang instead felt that he was being blamed at the moment.

"Lan Zhi, I'm sure you can handle it. Besides, if they're after me, you're gonna help me. Don't you?"

Xiao Shuxiang smiled and blinked one eye, he immediately got a rebuke from Ling Lang Tian for daring to act shamefully towards Young Master Lan. Hearing him made Xiao Shuxiang grunt softly.

"Brother Jing, give me a distant kiss.."

Hearing Brother Xiao's request.. Jing Mi really did. He shamelessly called Xiao Shuxiang 'Darling, ' and the condition made Hou Yong, Nie Shang, and Siu Yixin behave normally.

"You see, Brother Jing and I used to do this. That's normal in a man-to-man friendship.."

Ling Lang Tian did not feel uneasy when Xiao Shuxiang and Jing Mi began to reply to each other and call with 'Honey' words, this was because the two young men looked like friends and brothers.

Only, if Xiao Shuxiang were to call Lan Guan Zhi 'Honey', then it would be another story.

Jing Mi and Xiao Shuxiang were talkative and occasionally joking youths, both of whom had a humorous aura. Therefore even if Xiao Shuxiang and Jing Mi were to call each other 'Suami-Iwri' even once, no one would take that seriously.

But it was different when Xiao Shuxiang did it with a serious young man like Lan Guan Zhi.. There are endless misunderstandings.

"You should never call Young Master Lan with that word, you can tarnish his big name,"

Ling Lang Tian was so serious, even though he drank quite a lot of wine, yet he did not look drunk at all. Unlike Hou Yong and Nie Shang, the two young men had fallen asleep for a long time because they could no longer.

"Candidate Brother-in-law, are you just worried about Lan Zhi's big name? What about my own big name?"

"Do you have any?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang choked on the wine he drank when he heard Ling Lang Tian speak, he coughed until Lan Guan Zhi tried to help by gently rubbing his back.

Jing Mi, Siu Yixin, and Mo Huai seemed to hold back a laugh, but not three breaths.. Jing Mi's laughter instantly broke.

It was unexpected that the question from Ling Lang Tian earlier was so piercing that his Brother Xiao choked on wine.

"Haha.. Thas right. Damn right..! Brother Xiao, since when do you have a big name? Haha"

Xiao Shuxiang twitched to see Jing Mi who was so happy to insult her. A moment later, he lunged at his brother and gave a pretty loud story.

Ling Lang Tian, Lan Guan Zhi, Mo Huai, and Siu Yixin could only watch how these two friends of theirs started rolling around and interlocking movements.

Xiao Shuxiang and Jing Mi had only stopped after an hour of wrestling.

The night was getting late and no one intended to leave the Moon Flow tavern.

Jing Mi fell asleep due to the fatigue of wrestling and also the effects of the wine she drank. Siu Yixin also appeared to be asleep beside Jing Mi.

The ones still awake at this moment were Xiao Shuxiang, Lan Guan Zhi, Ling Lang Tian, and Mo Huai.

"Brother Mo, you better get some sleep, too. You look so sleepy,"

Mo Huai nodded slowly, he indeed did not drink wine like his friends, but saw Jing Mi and Hou Yong sleeping while snoring.. Makes him sleepy too.

Mo Huai then began to lie down beside Siu Yixin, he slowly closed his eyes but vaguely still heard Xiao Shuxiang's voice talking to Ling Lang Tian.

Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han who were in the next room were still faithfully eavesdropping. The two of them this time heard that Xiao Shuxiang was going to the Fire Stone Valley which was still in the territory of the Middle Sky Empire.

"What are you going there for?" Ling Lang Tian asked, he gave a little explanation regarding the Fire Stone Valley which was apparently very dangerous, but Xiao Shuxiang did not care because he had to go there, this was for the sake of his mission.

".. I'll be careful,"

"I won't stop you, but you better remember this. You can't die, and go straight back to the sect when your business is done,"

Ling Lang Tian also explained that to go to the Stone Fire Valley.. Xiao Shuxiang had to pass through the Flower Rainforest first, and the place was outside the Big Dipper Star City.

".. Shouldn't you be doing the preparations?"

"All my preparations are done, just clean up and then go,"

Xiao Shuxiang returned to drink his wine, he remained together with Ling Lang Tian, Lan Guan Zhi, and the others until the sunlight returned.

Gong Zitao and Ge Yu Han already knew the location where they could execute the plan. The two immediately left the Moon Flow Shop to meet the hit men they had hired before.
