Chapter 1949 1950: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

Murong Liuqing had never drunk alcohol before. After eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall yesterday, the alcohol was all in the dish itself, and the aftereffect of Fairy Intoxication was very strong. Murong Liuqing was already completely drunk last night and it's unclear when she'll sober up today.

As time passed, the sun had already risen. Sun Wei couldn't stay in bed anymore and got up, rousing Zhang Zhenlin and Ling Zhenfei as well.

Sun Wei said, "Originally, I was thinking of pretending to sleep when Miss Murong woke us, showcasing my gracious acting skills, but it seems there's no chance of that now."

Zhang Zhenlin also said, "Yes, what's going on? Could it be that Miss Murong hasn't gotten up yet?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "If she's not coming, we can just rest well, isn't that the plan?"

Sun Wei said, "Our plan is to delay on the road, but you've done well. That Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made our plan succeed directly."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "The plan succeeded, but when Elder Sister Murong arrives, she'll probably be furious again."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "That's true. You two should prepare some packages to look like we're ready to leave. That way, when Murong Liuqing arrives, it won't be us who don't want to leave; rather, we've been waiting for her.

Then she can't blame us, she can only blame herself for not handling her alcohol and ruining things by drinking too much."

Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei exchanged a glance and gave Ling Zhenfei a thumbs-up.

"You're clever indeed, a real stroke of genius there. We brothers admit it."

Ling Zhenfei said, "If you're convinced, go ahead and do it. Meanwhile, tidy up your clothes to show we're really ready to leave."

The two nodded and went back to pack.

Actually, cultivators of their realm have storage spaces like Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, so they don't need to pack things when traveling. But to keep up appearances, they tidied up a bit.

Once they were done packing, they sat together chatting, and soon felt a surge of Northern Spiritual Energy approaching. All three knew Murong Liuqing had arrived.

When Murong Liuqing arrived at the door, she had her eyebrows raised, eyes filled with Killing Aura, holding her flute, and the aura she emitted was chilling.

She walked in from the doorway and headed toward the three of them, all aware she was truly angry.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei stood up and said to Sun Wei, "Finally, she's here, let's go."

Sun Wei, smart as he was, saw Murong Liuqing's demeanor and understood her anger. He stood up, grabbed his belongings, and said, "At last, let's hit the road."

Zhang Zhenlin echoed, "Let's go, we've been waiting so long, I can't wait to leave."

Murong Liuqing came in filled with rage, wanting to give them a hard time.

But upon entering, she found them all packed and ready to go, and she was taken aback.

"What are you three doing?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "What's up, Miss Murong? Didn't we agree to leave first thing in the morning? What else could we be doing but heading down the mountain?"

Murong Liuqing wanted to speak but then Sun Wei said, "Miss Murong, really, didn't we agree to set off before dawn? If you had something going on, you'd have told us earlier, leaving us waiting so long."

Just as Murong Liuqing was about to speak, Zhang Zhenlin chimed in, "Exactly, Miss Murong. We thought you couldn't make it, we almost left on our own."

Murong Liuqing had come to confront them but was met with complaints instead.

Ling Zhenfei then asked, "So Miss Murong, are you here to call us to set out? Are you ready? Why not bring some items with you?"

Murong Liuqing found herself waking up late with the sun already high, filled with anger and suspecting something fishy.

Her daily routine is strict; such a late rise was impossible without an outside cause. Surely it had to be last night's meal.

That Buddha Jumps Over the Wall had tasted peculiar even while eating it; something seemed off despite its delicious flavor. After eating, she felt her head heavy.

Ling Zhenfei had escorted her back when her head started spinning. She hadn't felt anything initially, but eventually, she found walking difficult.

She vaguely recalled being escorted home by Ling Zhenfei, even leaning against him.

And then a shocking detail – she couldn't remember how she'd returned to her room because outside the courtyard, she'd lost clarity.

She remembered wanting water and somehow finding a cup in her hand, even being assisted to drink it.

Murong Liuqing was baffled, could Ling Zhenfei have entered her room last night? Sniffing the air, she detected an unfamiliar scent – that of a stranger.

Her room rarely entertained visitors, especially strangers. The smell was distinctly masculine, likely Ling Zhenfei's.

Examining her clothes, she found them neatly worn, except for her shoes, nothing amiss.

Looking at the sun high in the sky, she suddenly realized the ploy: Ling Zhenfei had doctored the food to cloud her mind and delay their set off time on purpose.

Murong Liuqing grew furious, changed clothes, and charged toward Ling Zhenfei and the others, stewing in anger and considering the chance Ling Zhenfei might've taken advantage.

Her rage reaching its peak, she could almost kill them all.

However, arriving there, she saw them ready and waiting for what seemed like a long time.

Now hearing their words, she couldn't quite muster the anger.

Feeling embarrassed by their comments too.

Murong Liuqing said, "I genuinely got delayed by something, but I'm ready now, so let's go."

After speaking, she turned to leave, and the three exchanged approving looks and followed her.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Miss Murong, are you really not going to pack something? Who knows when we'll return; you should prepare extra clothes."

Murong Liuqing said, "I'm ready. Let's hurry, it's already late."

Then Sun Wei glanced up and indeed it was late; they'd likely have lunch once they descended the mountain.
