The Cloud Observation Platform, white clouds, clear wind gusts.
Ao Fan was sitting on the cloud viewing platform, his bright eyes were open, looking at the sea of clouds, not knowing how his heart was thinking at the moment.
For a long time, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, suddenly stood up, one hand probed out, reaching out to the sea of clouds. In such a moment, a blood-coloured light shadow shot out from his hand and pounced on the white sea of clouds.
Vaguely, one could see that the bloody shadow took on the appearance of a hand, and was incredibly fast, like lightning, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a broken open channel of the sea of clouds.
Ao Fan smiled faintly, he had been sitting here for half a month after returning from the Phantom Sword Abyss. During this half a month, he had tried every means to improve the moves that he had discovered during the battle that were still not perfected.
Half a month down the line, until today, he had finally perfected the Blood Cloud Hand. What he performed just now was the changed Blood Cloud Hand.
The new blood cloud hand, although the appearance appears to be blurred a lot, but the momentum has not been reduced, and the power is a lot more powerful, the destructive force is more terrible. Not only that, but the original Blood Cloud Hand's lack of speed was completely different in the newly perfected Blood Cloud Hand. The speed displayed by the new Blood Cloud Hand was like a shooting star, soaring beyond compare.
It was not until this moment that the Blood Cloud Hand was truly completed!
Ao Fan exhaled lightly and turned around to return to the Water Moon Cave Heaven.
Night came quietly, the cold night wind whistled around and the grass rustled. The full moon hung high in the sky, and there were ten thousand stars.
Without realising it, Ao Fan came within the Drunken Moon Cave Heaven. He wanted to see if this person who had led himself to the Nine Swords Sect had changed during the two months he had disappeared.
A deep blue if underwater light flashed in the Drunken Moon Cave Sky. Ao Fan stepped into it, and with a glance, he looked at the other side of the ground separated by the stream, on which Yun Drunken Moon was holding a wine altar and drinking, with many empty wine altars long placed by his side.
Ao Fan was stunned when he saw this, could it be that she was really so addicted to wine?
She was wearing a white gauze skirt, which extremely set off her slim and slender body. One could tell at a glance that she was a rare and beautiful woman. Ao Fan's arrival was immediately noticed by Yun Drunken Moon as she turned around and locked eyes with him. No matter how much time had passed, she was still as magnificent as ever, with a face as beautiful as the heavens, not something that could be compared to ordinary people.
Only, why was there a lingering sadness in the depths of her hazel eyes?
Ao Fan quickly stepped and went to the long table that was as crystalline as jade, and serenely sat down again, peacefully looking towards Yun Drunken Moon.
"Ao Fan, is that you?" Yun Drunken Moon's eyes were misty, and she asked in unclear speech. She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to grab at Ao Fan, but it all came up empty.
"What's wrong with you?" Ao Fan asked, his voice unprecedentedly soft. When he grabbed Yun Drunken Moon's hand, he only felt warm and smooth, and he couldn't help but feel his mind swaying, but he quickly calmed down again.
Yun Drunken Moon did not answer, but at the corner of her eyes, a tear fell.
What was wrong with her, why was she so sad?
Ao Fan was unable to speak, staring blankly at Yun Drunken Moon, from the depths of the other party's sad eyes, he seemed to have remembered his own bleak past as well. In the end, he shook his head and held Yun Drunken Moon's body, but as a result, he heard the other party seem to be saying something softly.
He looked at Yun Drunken Moon, whose eyes were watery and misty, his heart moved, and he slowly came closer, smelling a fresh fragrance mixed with the smell of wine, that belonged to Yun Drunken Moon's body fragrance.
Yun Drunken Moon was already drunk, her eyes were half-open, half-open, showing a different kind of beauty. However, the soft voice murmured from her mouth attracted Ao Fan's attention even more.
"On the day I became conscious, I already knew that I was the poor girl without a father and without a mother." Yun Drunken Moon whispered in a low voice, causing Ao Fan's heart and mind to be shaken.
"All I know is that it was Master who took me in. From what she said, she picked me up from the wilderness under the Sword Dao Mountain, and seeing that I had good qualifications, she brought me to the Nine Swords Sect and took me as a disciple. At that time, naive me didn't know what affection was, and didn't have much of a feeling at all about being fatherless and motherless. After all, there was Master accompanying me, and there was also Master's only daughter, Senior Sister Qing Yue accompanying me." Yun Drunken Moon murmured.
Ao Fan did not say anything, from the moment he knew Yun Qing Yue's name, he knew that the two must have some sort of intersection. Yet, he did not want it to turn out like this.
"When I grew up, knowing that other people had parents but not myself, I became less verbal. I often looked up at the starry sky, dazed, watching the flickering meteors, wanting to capture the shadow of my parents, but everything was just a fantasy. I've never seen what my parents look like, but that's exactly what makes me miss them even more and grieve even more." At the corner of Yun Drunken Moon's eyes, tears quietly crossed, revealing a trace.
Ao Fan's heart ached, compared to himself, the woman in front of him was equally unfortunate. The other party did not have parents, and did not even know what their parents looked like. Although he had parents, his father did not treat him well, and his mother died a year ago.
Have and then lose, seems to be more painful than the beginning does not exist!
Ao Fan closed his eyes, no longer thinking, listening to Yun Qing Yue murmured: "I heard people say that wine is the most capable of relieving sorrow, so when I was ten years old, I went to the sake peak and took a lot of wine to drink. That day, the first time I drank alcohol, I got drunk. When I woke up, I found that I seemed to like sake because it really helped me relieve my sorrows. So I drank sake every day in the future, but it turned out to be more and more unsatisfying. Sake was lighter and could no longer intoxicate me. In the end, I chose spirits from Spirits Peak."
"Spirits really lived up to its name, one pot was almost equal to ten pots of sake, allowing me to get drunk easily. Since then, I have been drinking spirits until today." With a trembling hand, she picked up an altar of spirits that was placed at her hand and was about to pour it into her mouth.
However, Ao Fan suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched the altar of wine, faintly whispering in her ear, "I'll share your injuries for you."
As he said that, he poured down the spirits in one gulp!
The flavour of the strong wine was really very different from the clear wine. Ao Fan only felt that his mouth was hot and spicy, as if he was being burnt by fire. At the same time, there was a wave of comfort rising from his stomach, making the pores around his body open wide, incomparably soothing.
Was this the spirits?
Ao Fan's mind trembled and his eyes seemed to become hazy. This was the first time he had tasted spirits, and it had its own unique flavour compared to sake. However, in comparison, he found that he liked it more. He once again poured spirits into his mouth, and the pungent sensation kept coming, incomparably hot. Suddenly, the wine altar was snatched back by Yun Drunken Moon.
"Let's drink together." Yun Drunken Moon said quietly as if she had sobered up a little.
Another intact wine altar was handed over by Yun Drunken Moon. Ao Fan immediately took it and opened it and drank it violently. At the same time, Yun Drunken Moon did the same.
Tonight, they were both greatly drunk!
