Jiang Junyi turned his head at the commotion and saw a woman in a white dress, her brows etched with an unresolvable sorrow.
Her face was beautiful, and her demeanor was graceful.
Jiang Junyi only glanced at her before losing interest; that glance was only because the wine she ordered was quite rare.
Feng Liuliu raised an eyebrow: "Alright."
Forget Sorrow, as the name suggests, only those with immense sorrow in their hearts would order this glass of wine.
It was not light, but rather incredibly spicy.
The strong alcohol combined with a unique beverage created a spicy, intoxicating effect, leading to Forget Sorrow.
"Ding-a-ling~"
The bell at the entrance rang once more.
A burly figure slowly walked towards the bar, and since Jiang Junyi and the others had their backs turned, he didn't notice them.
"Shop owner, do you hire resident singers here?"
Feng Liuliu, who was shaking a drink, turned around and, seeing the newcomer, revealed a half-smile: "Hmm~ I think we do~"
Resident singer?
This piqued Jiang Junyi's interest, and he turned around curiously, but the expression on his face instantly froze: "You..."
"Eh? Isn't this the manager of the cake shop?" Su Ling turned her head when she heard the voice, looking at 1 with some surprise.
1 wiped his face. Could he really run into them here?
"Yes."
Wan Qingyun's face showed a curious expression: "Is this the manager's hobby?"
"Sigh, it's out of necessity; I owe someone five hundred thousand." 1 sighed.
Feng Liuliu chuckled: "Ah~ five hundred thousand, that's no small sum, is it?"
1 clenched his fists. Damn Feng Liuliu! I shouldn't have made that bet!
"Go up and perform. If everyone here is satisfied, you can stay." Feng Liuliu looked at Jiang Junyi and the others in front of the bar and said with a laugh.
1 scanned the area. Oh my goodness, who were all these people in front of the bar?
His own Young Master, the White Court Master, the Young Mistress, the Black Palace Lord, the Black Palace Star Master, the most arrogant butler in history, Uncle Wu, and the head of Su Corporation, Su Ling.
The pressure was immense.
"Ahem, if you all don't mind... then I'll make a fool of myself..."
1 hugged the guitar tightly and slowly walked towards the resident singer's stage.
After adjusting the equipment, he lightly strummed the guitar strings a few times.
"Dong, da da dong, dong da..."
1 patted the guitar body with one hand, tapping out a melody.
"Let me see you again, from south to north..."
"Like eyes obscured by the Fifth Ring Road."
"Please tell me again, about that day..."
1's voice was deep and had a hint of smokiness, full of storytelling from the moment he opened his mouth.
"I know, those summers, like youth, won't come back. What replaces dreams can only be a reluctant compromise!"
He's playing me like a monkey! This guy is really good!
Jiang Junyi rubbed his forehead; he was singing so emotionally it was a mess.
"Junyi... this song... it feels so sad..." Wan Qingyun tightly held Jiang Junyi's hand, her voice filled with despondency.
Yes, how could it not be sad?
When this thing played, even dogs had regrets.
"Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, love, hate, and resentment; a perfect yet regrettable life is born this way."
Jiang Junyi said softly.
"This song sings of regret, and it also sings of life. If you taste it carefully, sadness is not its main melody." He gently stroked Wan Qingyun's hair, comforting her softly.
At this moment, 1's tone gradually lowered: "Let me hear it again, that most beautiful line."
"You're home, I'm waiting for you..."
Suddenly, the desolate sound of a morin khuur, as if traversing a vast wilderness, drifted from a thousand miles away into this small pub.
2 had brought a small stool and, at some unknown point, sat beside 1, playing the morin khuur, his body swaying slightly.
He was completely immersed.
In just 30 seconds, the highly infectious interlude seemed to have expressed all of life, singing out all love and hate.
"Junyi..."
Small pearls of tears welled up in Wan Qingyun's eyes. Seeing this, Jiang Junyi quickly stepped forward and embraced Wan Qingyun, gently stroking his beloved's beautiful hair.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Although he was comforting her, he sighed inwardly.
This song... its destructive power was too strong.
"Thud!"
The sound of a glass being heavily placed on the table came from his side. He turned his head slightly.
Jiang Junyi discovered that the girl who had ordered Forget Sorrow earlier had actually chugged it down!
What a joke? Drank Forget Sorrow straight?
You really want to forget sorrow? On a physical level, right?!
"Hey!" Feng Liuliu also saw it and quickly reached out, but it was still too late.
He looked at Liang Qiqi: "Qi Qi, quickly tell those two CS guys to come down!"
"Oh!"
Soon after, the music stopped.
1 and 2 scratched their heads and came to the bar.
1 laughed sheepishly: "How was it, pretty good, right?"
"Just go for now. You can come back to be a resident singer here when you're free!" Feng Liuliu's mouth twitched wildly.
"Alrighty!" 1's face lit up with joy, and he scurried away.
But now, inside the bar... the atmosphere was very low...
"Waiter! More drinks! Wuwuwu! I miss her!"
"More drinks! More drinks! I want Forget Sorrow too!"
"My dad isn't well... but I haven't been back in three years... More drinks! More drinks!"
As soon as the song ended, the sorrowful atmosphere caused customers to continuously order drinks.
"Wuwuwu! I'm so annoyed... I want to die..."
Jiang Junyi was startled. What was that deathly sound?
Following the sound, he saw it was the female warrior who had chugged Forget Sorrow.
Now, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were hazy.
She had entered the realm of true Forget Sorrow.
"Bang!"
The pub door was roughly pushed open this time, accompanied by a fierce female voice:
"Chen Anran! Your father is in critical condition, and you're still here drinking?!"
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The heavy sound of high heels echoed as a stern-looking middle-aged woman walked in.
She grabbed Chen Anran's wrist: "Come back with me!"
"I don't want to! I don't want to go to Yaowang Valley! And I don't want to marry some divine doctor!" Chen Anran cried, tears streaming down her face.
"Slap!"
A slap landed on her beautiful face, instantly quieting her considerably.
"This is a huge opportunity! How can you be so reckless?!"
The woman dragged Chen Anran towards the exit, not caring at all about the girl's state.
Jiang Junyi's eyes flashed as he heard this conversation.
Divine doctor?
So he's preparing to descend the mountain, huh.
It seems a new storm has already appeared.
[Ding! System update complete! How are you getting along with your Pure Love Target, Host~ Did you miss me~ ~ ~ ~]
The System suddenly appeared, startling Jiang Junyi.
[No.]
[Ding~ So sad o(╥﹏╥)o]
[Stop babbling. What did you update and upgrade?]
[Ding~ This update has increased the types of items in the Pure Love Treasury~ Including items specifically for the Child of Destiny~]
Jiang Junyi immediately perked up when the System said this!
Could it be that there would be some cool, awesome cultivation techniques and treasures?!
Jiang Junyi excitedly opened the mall, but after browsing for two seconds, his expression gradually faded.
[Where are my cultivation techniques, cultivation levels, martial arts, and divine artifacts?]
[Ding~ Host has already redeemed all those things, you know.]
What?!
[Are you kidding me?! When did that happen?]
[Ding~ Isn't the cultivation technique the "Dragon-Phoenix Auspicious Union Pure Love Invincible Universe Technique"?]
[What about cultivation level?]
[Ding~ Doesn't Host gain cultivation level when you are with your Pure Love Target?]
My goodness??
[Then what about divine artifacts?]
[Ding~ The Shadow Heart, of course.]
Jiang Junyi's face gradually crumpled: [What about martial arts?!]
[Ding~ Divine Foot Massage Technique]
[That's it?]
[Ding~ That's it...]
Ding your mother's head, Ding!
Jiang Junyi really wanted to tear this damn System into pieces right now, to stop it from "Ding, Ding, Ding"!
[Ding~]
[No dinging!]
[Uh... Although those are gone, many small items have been added, which will definitely help Host~]
Jiang Junyi took a deep breath, calming his emotions.
Alright, perhaps he didn't lack... these... things... anyway!
He gnashed his teeth inwardly.
[Ding!]
[Huh?!]
[Um, a confidential document has appeared... I suggest Host... check it...]
[How much Pure Love Value?]
[Free... free... update compensation...]
[Heh, that's more like it.]
At this moment, Wan Qingyun's worried voice came:
"Junyi, you didn't listen to that song and have psychological problems again, did you?"
