Chapter 209 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 59
When Shen Chumo saw Shen Qianyu's appearance, he was slightly taken aback at first, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
"Happy to accompany you."
She stepped aside to let Shen Qianyu into the house, and the two sat together on the wicker chairs on the balcony, placing the red wine and glasses on the round table.
The moonlight, gentle as water, bathed them in its warmth, and a breeze caressed their hair. Shen Qianyu relaxed and opened her arms wide.
"Hmm, you're so carefree."
Shen Chumo chuckled softly, gently picked up the bottle of red wine, skillfully uncorked it, and poured the wine into a glass. Instantly, a rich aroma of wine filled the room.
“Master, if outsiders saw you like this, they would be shocked.”
After all, Shen Qianyu's public image has always been that of the aloof and powerful Fairy Qianyu, and in recent years she has been handling all kinds of matters in the Xuanmen.
No one had ever seen Shen Qianyu so unrestrained and relaxed.
Shen Qianyu picked up her wine glass and watched the blood-red liquid sway gently in it, shimmering with a captivating luster under the moonlight.
"There's nothing I can do. Who told me to carry such a heavy burden? Fortunately, it'll be over soon."
“Indeed, we’ve suffered a lot these past three years. Every day we’re either busy tracking those strange trails or fighting them to the death. Our nerves are constantly on edge. It’s rare to have such a peaceful moment now. It’s time to relax.”
As Shen Chumo spoke, she also picked up her wine glass.
"Come on, Master, cheers!"
The two clinked their glasses together, making a crisp sound. Shen Chumo took a small sip of red wine. The wine first brought a slight sweetness to her mouth, followed by the rich aroma that slowly spread in her mouth, leaving a long and lingering aftertaste.
After downing a glass of wine, Shen Qianyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She smiled and said, "Chu Mo, this wine really tastes good. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed drinking so much."
Shen Chumo asked curiously, "Master, how does the wine from your cultivation world compare to the wine of this mortal world?"
"In the cultivation world, the wines sold are all spiritual wines. People care more about the spiritual energy in the wine. The more mellow the spiritual energy, the better the wine. As for the taste of the wine, not many people care."
Shen Chumo pursed her lips, somewhat speechless, "Is it drinking alcohol or taking tonics?"
Hearing this, Shen Qianyu burst into laughter, "Haha, what you said is right. People in the cultivation world are a bunch of crazy people who only know how to cultivate, and they dream about ascending to immortality all day long."
Everyone lives for hundreds of years, but in the end, they might not have enjoyed even a few days of happiness. They could be killed just walking down the street. Isn't that ridiculous?
Shen Chumo lowered her eyes and said softly, "So, Master, you don't like the cultivation world, right?"
Shen Qianyu paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I like the cultivation world. Although it's not as peaceful and tranquil as this world, it has allowed me to see a wider world, and there are people I love there."
Therefore, Chu Mo, you don't need to worry about me. Returning to the cultivation world is also what my heart desires.
Shen Qianyu rested her cheek on her hand, tilting her head to look at Shen Chumo.
"What intrigues me more is your background. You are so mysterious that you can make everyone believe without a doubt that you are 'Shen Chumo'. How did you do it?"
Shen Chumo took a sip of wine. "There are some things I can't say. I can only tell you that the Three Thousand Worlds are full of wonders, and perhaps there are other civilizations above the Three Thousand Worlds."
Shen Qianyu seemed to be thinking, and chuckled softly, "Indeed, the universe is so vast that it's not surprising what kind of existence exists. Your purpose in this world is twofold: one is for me, and the other is for the Shen family, right?"
"Master, you know?"
Shen Qianyu raised an eyebrow. "The Shen family members died one after another within a month. Madam Shen jumped to her death, and Shen Wenlu was killed by the Blood-Eyed Ghost within two days."
Shen Zhenghua, possessed by the Blood-Eyed Demon, actually killed Shen Sixuan with his own hands. Shen Jiayi, witnessing his own father kill his own brother, couldn't accept reality and raced his car in the middle of the night. Suddenly, a wild boar ran out on the road, causing a car accident that killed him instantly.
Shen Zhenghua was supposed to die that night, but you went and saved him, saying it was to kill the Blood-Eyed Ghost so that it wouldn't possess other people after Shen Zhenghua's death.
Even though you saved Shen Zhenghua, he still committed suicide in the hospital two days later. The entire Shen family was wiped out so mysteriously. It's so obvious, how come I couldn't see it?
Shen Chumo shrugged. "I didn't do anything. It's all just karma."
She saved Shen Zhenghua simply because his remorse level wasn't full yet. Later, when Shen Zhenghua was hospitalized, she had the mirror demon trap him in the illusion he feared most.
In that illusion, Shen Zhenghua returned to when he was only twenty years old, which was also when he was at his most useless.
He was overshadowed by his outstanding elder brothers, and he appeared mediocre and unremarkable in both the family business and his personal talents and cultivation.
He had nothing of value to offer, yet he was proficient in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. When Old Master Shen saw him, he would call him a good-for-nothing, and none of the scions of prominent families would even look down on him.
So, he once again attempted to murder his two older brothers, but this time, he failed.
Old Master Shen immediately cut off all of Shen Zhenghua's financial support and kicked him out of the house. When this news spread, those so-called friends who used to call him brother and have fun with him at the dinner table scattered like birds the moment they learned of his downfall.
They abandoned him without any mercy, making him truly feel the coldness of human relationships.
Shen Zhenghua was drunk and asleep on the roadside when a perverted older man picked him up and raped him on the street.
When Shen Zhenghua woke up and learned the news, he was completely devastated. His already fragile self-esteem was shattered by this sudden blow.
He went to see Madam Shen, hoping to rekindle their relationship and ask for her help. Unfortunately, Madam Shen looked at him with disgust and had no desire to have anything to do with him anymore.
She then married someone else.
Shen Zhenghua, oblivious to his own mortality, went to steal the bride, only to be beaten half to death and left on the street like a dead dog.
Shen Zhenghua spent a miserable life in illusions, his regret level reaching its maximum.
After waking up from the illusion, he discovered that the real world was no better than the illusion. He had lost his family and was penniless. In despair, he attempted suicide again, but this time he never woke up again.
Shen Chumo and Shen Qianyu chatted all night until a bottle of red wine was finished. The two of them, their faces flushed, leaned back in the wicker chairs, laughing softly. Everything was so beautiful and peaceful.
A few days later, after explaining everything to Shen Qianyu and Shen Chumo, they came to Tianchi once again.
