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.
One man and three demons were sitting around the round table... It couldn’t be said that they were sitting together. After all, the sparrow was standing on the table.
They looked at each other from time to time and looked at the desktop together. The atmosphere was very strange.
You Daxiao looked very confused. He hesitated for a moment and asked seriously while looking at Li Ye, “How can we, four strong men, share a fish and a pot of alcohol?”
Li Ye was also embarrassed.
But this was not a problem, because soon Steward Little Bear came with alcohol and food, which was ordered by Li Ye when he met him in the daytime.
When food and alcohol were ready, Li Ye also invited the Duchess, the innkeeper, the demon wolf and the demon jackal to come here. Then it became much busy instantly, and the dinner party was very enjoyable.
The sparrow, standing on the food table, stretched his neck and buried his head in the bottle to drink. It looked so funny. But he couldn’t drink too much. After two cups, he began to circle on the food table. Li Ye saw that it was interesting and said with a smile, “You’ve been drinking too hard. Why didn’t you turn into a human?”
The sparrow was drunk and hazy, staggering on the table. From time to time, he suddenly opened his wings to balance his body. He proudly hummed and said, “I’ve sworn that if I can’t accomplish that, I would never change back to the form of human.”
When Li Ye was about to ask what it was, the sparrow suddenly fell to the table and fell asleep with his head askew. During sleep, he still lay on his side, two small bending legs hanging.
Li Ye thought that this sparrow had a story.
Then he looked at the demon leopard, only to find that the other side had never drunk anymore except for the first cup of alcohol he offered, but had eaten a lot of meat.
Wu You had gone back to the room and hidden for a while. And she was no longer shy when she came out. The Duchess was very happy tonight. Sometimes, she would empty her mind and giggled. Seeing that, Li Ye was afraid that she would suddenly jump up and break the roof on the spur of the moment.
The innkeeper looked normal and no longer winked at Li Ye in secret, which made Li Ye relieved.
The demon wolf and the demon jackal just focused on eating and drinking. They only raised their heads several times from beginning to end. Li Ye wondered if their living standard in Lingyun Canyon was low and they seldom had such a big meal.
Li Ye suddenly had a strange feeling that in the following journey in the demon clan, these people in front of him now and he would fight side by side to the end.
And during the journey, there must be much suffering.
The next day, Li Ye woke up, opened the window of the door, and found that it was another sunny day.
Then he began to habitually calculate the growth of people’s Luck, and found that the results were gratifying. The northern towns in the Immortal Area, especially Hedong, were rapidly becoming consolidated. This meant that his realm and strength were on the rise.
Li Ye came to live in the City Lord’s Mansion for purposes. In addition to curing the wounds and getting rid of the subsequent stabs of the demon bear, he also needed to collect as many magic treasures as possible to upgrade the class-ranking of Luke Sword, and taught the demon bear a good lesson by the way. In this way, he could leave without worries and go to the next place, instead of worrying about being secretly troubled by the demon bear.
The demon bear kept hiding from Li Ye, which Li Ye thought it was a pity. The City Lord’s Mansion was so big, but he couldn’t look for the other party everywhere here. However, it didn’t mean that Li Ye had no way. As long as there were people he could see in the City Lord’s Mansion, he could make a difference.
After breakfast, Li Ye took everyone out and began to stroll in the mansion.
The architectural style in the demon clan was different from that in the mortal world. Here, demons paid more attention to practicality and there were few decorations, so the style was mostly simple and realistic. And in each big mansion, a mountain would be built. Maybe the mountain was moved from another place, and then a mansion was built in the mountain.
Li Ye met all kinds of demons on the road, who were dressed in different ways. Some were maidservants, and some were male servants. Some of them were in the form of human, while some of them worked with their original appearances. It seemed that there were no specific requirements for these things in the mansion.
After enjoying the scenery of the City Lord’s Mansion for a while, Li Ye felt good and relaxed a lot.
Finally, Li Ye met Steward Litter Bear. Immediately, his eyes brightened and he walked to him quickly.
“Your Highness!” The Steward Little Bear hurriedly saluted Li Ye with an insincere smile on his face, saying, “Prince An, did you ate well and slept comfortably last night?”
He just greeted Li Ye out of courtesy. He thought Li Ye should be satisfied, because when he sent food and alcohol last night, he was greeted with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Li Ye said seriously, “No. I was not comfortable. I’m unhappy now!”
Steward Little Bear was surprised. He was afraid that Li Ye would make trouble and upturn the whole mansion.
In the early morning of today, the demon bear called him over, inquired about the situation of Li Ye and others, and told him not to give Li Ye any reason or opportunity to make trouble.
The reasonable requirements must be agreed, so as not to give Li Ye any chance to incite the people in Panfeng City. As for the unreasonable requirements, Steward Little Bear could refuse, because Li Ye couldn’t say them to others. Therefore, the demon bear didn’t care.
At last, the demon bear told Steward Little Bear that if Li Ye asked to see him, he would answer that he had gone out to chase the murderer who had assassinated Prince An.
Steward Little Bear knew that the demon bear dared not see Li Ye. Yesterday’s confrontation between him and Li Ye showed that he was no match for Li Ye. He not only was tricked out of his magic treasures by Li Ye, but also got extremely angry with him. Hiding was the only choice. So Steward Little Bear was very sorry for the demon bear.
When did the City Lord Bear, who was always majestic in Panfeng City, be so aggrieved?
“Did we do something wrong? If so, you can just put it forward. Whatever you want, I’ll meet your need.” Steward Little Bear dared not slight Li Ye and also dared not be careless. He hurriedly and nervously asked Li Ye.
Li Ye felt that Steward Little Bear was also pitiful and didn’t want to bully him, but he still had to show his attitude.
Then he said proudly, “Who am I? In the whole Tang Empire, nobody doesn’t respect me or dares to slight me! But in Panfeng City, I was assassinated first, which I don’t want to discuss. Now I’m in the City Lord’s Mansion, but there was no one to accompany me for fun. How can I be happy?”
“Yes, you’re right, Prince An. It’s all my fault.” Steward Little Bear nodded repeatedly and asked tentatively, “What do you want, Prince An?”
“What do I want? Don’t you understand?” Li Ye was very unhappy and said, “Then I’ll explain it more clearly. In the Tang Empire, there were eight hundred singers and countless beauties in my mansion, who can accompany me to have fun all day and night and serve me very well...”
