Chapter 691: A Banquet Turns into a Funeral (1)
When everyone heard that Liu Guixi, who had lived for more than 200 years, actually called Xiaoying a fairy, they were stunned for a moment.
However, considering Xiaoying's beautiful appearance, she is indeed worthy of the word "fairy".
The most surprised person was Chu Xiaomu. He was originally groggy from drinking, but he suddenly woke up completely.
He knew that Sister Hua was called the "Flower Fairy" by the world, and she was indeed a "fairy". Xiaoying herself said that she was born on the top of the Hundred Flowers. Although her identity was probably not simple and she was not an ordinary mortal, she was probably just a scattered spirit around the Flower Fairy, just like Xiaoxuan, Aunt Jiang and others.
Could it be that Liu Guixi was old and had poor eyesight, and mistook Xiaoying for someone else? But Xiaoying's appearance was nothing like the flower fairy's.
Liu Guixi prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed slowly. Seeing that the people around him did not respond, he grabbed Liu Chengguang, the village chief, and said angrily: "This is the Fairy Spirit King I mentioned. Why don't you kneel down? Kneel down quickly..."
The villagers of Liucao Village worshipped the gods, and sometimes they also worshipped some spirit kings or good spirits, but the woman in front of them was obviously just a girl under 20 years old, who was just pretty. She was completely different from a spirit king like General Bi Ye, and she didn't have that kind of aura at all.
Liu Guixi asked them to kneel down to him, but no one could do it. He thought that this woman was just a guest invited by Liu Yingzi to his home, so how could the host kneel down to the guest?
Seeing that no one was willing to kneel, Liu Guixi burst into tears and wailed, "Fairy, these people are unwilling to kneel before you because they have never seen you and don't know you. But I have seen you. I saw you once and I have remembered you for more than two hundred years... You... You have also seen me. You gave me an immortal fruit that year. Don't you remember..."
Xiaoying looked at a loss. She looked at Chu Xiaomu for help and asked, "What is this old man talking about? Why don't I understand it at all?"
Chu Xiaomu had no choice but to say: "I think this old man must have recognized the wrong person..."
Liu Guixi suddenly raised his head, stared at Chu Xiaomu fiercely, and said, "What did you just say, kid?" He no longer looked as old as before.
Chu Xiaomu said: "Old man, I think you must have recognized the wrong person. Her name is Xiaoying, not the fairy you saw."
Liu Guixi said: "It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence!"
Chu Xiaomu thought carefully about what he had said last time, but he was drunk at the time and couldn't remember what he had said at all, so he said, "I didn't say anything last time."
Liu Guixi said with a tone that was almost like gnashing his teeth: "You said she...she is your lover?"
Chu Xiaomu immediately remembered that he had spoken without restraint and had indeed said that Yingying was his lover. Although the two had never said it explicitly, they both knew it in their hearts.
Seeing that the old man actually mentioned it in front of Xiaoying, he couldn't help but blush and said hesitantly: "Just now...just now I drank too much..."
An unbelievable scene appeared before everyone's eyes. The old and frail Liu Guixi suddenly jumped up from the ground in a very strange posture, with his hands made into claws, and pounced on Chu Xiaomu who was sitting opposite him, shouting: "The fairy is mine... She is not your lover, nor anyone's lover, nor anyone's!"
Chu Xiaomu was so frightened that he forgot how to dodge. The strangeness of the spiritual arts of the beast spirits of the Beast Mountain, the strangeness of the spiritual arts of the Claw Clan Spirit King Yan Claw and the three sects of the Fang Clan, and the magical martial arts of the Golden Knife and Black Sword were not as strange as this scene today.
Aqi grabbed Chu Xiaomu's shoulder and suddenly took him directly to the entrance of the tent two meters away, avoiding Liu Guixi's attack.
Liu Guixi was old and weak after all, so he didn't fall to where Chu Xiaomu was sitting, but fell on the carpet full of food, smashing the roasted whole lamb, dry biscuits, wine and other things all over the floor. A large number of ceramic bowls, basins, cups and other utensils were also crushed.
After he pounced, he didn't make any other moves. He just stretched out his hands and bent his legs, lying on the felt carpet. It looked weird and ugly.
Liu Chenggui called out a few times but heard no response, so he walked over and pulled gently, but Liu Guixi still did not respond.
Everyone then became anxious and hurriedly carried the old man out of the felt blanket, only to find that he was already dead.
Liu Guixi has lived for more than 200 years, but he has never married and had no children, so he has no descendants. Although the villagers of Liucao Village knew that he had a strange temper, they respected him because he was old and had the ability to cure diseases and save lives, so they respected him very much. Whenever there was a happy event or entertaining guests, they would invite him and let him sit in the main seat.
It was unexpected that after such a good hospitality today, this old man who lived for more than 200 years and was praised as a great man in Bicheng would die. This was something no one had expected. However, as he said, he was willing to die after seeing the fairy again.
Liu Yingzi cried until her eyes were red, and she hid in a corner and refused to come out.
Ah Qi walked over and comforted him, "Dr. Liu Ling is so old, and if he suddenly exerts so much strength, his body will definitely not be able to support it. I think this kind of thing will happen to him sooner or later..."
Liu Yingzi cried, "I wanted to invite you and your friends to my house to have a good chat, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. You...you won't blame me..."
Ah Qi gently put his arm around her shoulders and said, "This matter cannot be blamed on you at all. How could I blame you?"
Liu Yingzi leaned on his shoulder and began to cry.
