Chapter 33: Drinking among Friends
Yuan Zhenyi wasn't bragging, the wine he brought was really good; mellow tasting with a long
aftertaste. What made it even more amazing was its faint, tipsy feeling which circulated around
the body. Mo Wuji could even feel his opened meridian being stimulated.
"This really is good wine! One mouthful, and I can feel my whole body being invigorated," Mo
Wuji praised. He could guess that there were some spiritual ingredients within the wine.
Otherwise, he would not have felt such comfort.
Hearing Mo Wuji praise his wine, Yuan Zhenyi proudly said, "Brother Mo really knows his
wines. I am from the Chang Yan State and there was once I stumbled into the Thunder Fog
Forest. I did not expect it to be a blessing in disguise as I actually obtained a spirit fruit. I used
that fruit to brew ten jars of wine, this is my last pot. But this is a large pot, Ha ha ha ..."
Mo Wuji could tell that Yuan Zhenyi was a very generous and carefree person. This cup of wine
brewed using a spiritual fruit must have an amazing value. Many people would not even be able
to buy it, but Yuan Zhenyi readily took it out just because he liked Mo Wuji's words.
"I'm really ashamed. We only met each other by chance but I drank Brother Yuan's good wine,"
Mo Wuji suddenly recalled that Chang Yan State and Cheng Yu State were currently at war. But
it didn't matter to Mo Wuji. Afterall, he did not have any sense of attachment to Cheng Yu State.
Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "Brother Mo, you're treating me like a stranger! When I heard your words
'There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles', I
immediately felt like we were old friends. I would have offered you better things, not just this
jar of wine. No matter how good something is, it can't be as good as meeting an old friend!"
"No matter how good something is, it can't be as good as meeting an old friend! Brother Yuan,
Aunt Eleven, Ding Bu'Er, let's have one more cup!" Mo Wuji's heart was open. This was the first
There was a friend
Thousand miles away
Separated and remote
There's no need to meet
We will know in our hearts
Friendship cannot be changed [1]
...
At first, it was just Mo Wuji singing. Afterwards, Yuan Zhenyi and co. learned the lyrics and they
all sang together.
...
Wen Manzhu was standing outside Mo Wuji's tent, frowning. Seeing Mo Wuji mixing around
with someone like Yuan Zhenyi made her unhappy.
Have a cup full of wine and sing loudly
Good friends, nice friends, we'll have so much fun tonight
Also let me know how to cherish a friend's shoulder
The sun will always shine after a heavy storm
Let us raise our head and learn to be strong
Like a friend, this cup of wine warms my heart
I do not worry about anything else
Today we have come to meet
Feelings of affection filled the glass
Years rush like water
Who cares who he was yesterday
… [2]”
Mo Wuji's hoarse, husky voice made Wen Manzhu completely stunned. She preferred this song
to the previous one. Each and every word strummed her heartstrings, making her blood boil,
compelling her to go in and drink with them.
Is this the feeling of friendship? She also had her own friends. Cheng Yu State's Ninth Prince,
Situ Po. Cheng Yu State's general, Zhao Feihu's son, Zhao Pu. Minister Yao Kang's son, Yao
Bingzhen. There was also the hypocrite Zhao Xu... [3]
Which one of them wasn't handsome? Which one of them wasn't a promising hero? Why was it
that she can't seem to find this feeling of boiling blood when she's with them? If Situ Po wasn't
interested in Mo Wuji's knowledge of the Sunflower Law, would he have advised her to chat
Prefecture," Wen Manzhu muttered as she walked into the inn. She seemed to have found a
reason to truly say goodbye to Mo Wuji.
