Chapter 117: Despair at the Edge of the World

h.But you can also trust me, because right now, I want to kill Yan Xiao more than any of you.Suci said, "I went through all the records of the Sea Saint Clan, piecing together the relevant information...The willow tree has returned to Huai Island, but it probably wasn't because of the approaching Sea Festival.

Since returning to Huai Island, he had been drinking every day and hadn't participated in any chores.

Jiang Wang could easily deduce a result—Yang Liu was already out of the running to pursue Wú Yán.

According to Tian He's intel, Yang Liu is fond of beautiful clothing, good wine, and taking care of her appearance. In terms of cultivation, she is considered the most outstanding among Hai Jing Ping's disciples, and their relationship is also very close.

>

Bi Zhu PoLi asked Jiang Wang to find a way to get in touch with Hai JingPing, and there was a reason for that - if before on Xiaoyueya Island Jiang Wang had indeed gotten along well with Yang Liu.

But in reality, because of Xu Xiangqian's relationship, Yang Liu could only give Jiang Wang a good face.

But Jiang Wang had already prepared himself for being rejected. If he could truly save Zhu Biqiong, enduring some humiliation wouldn't be a problem.

On the island of Yueya, the most frequented place for veteran drinkers would be Qing'ao Reef, named after a massive, sea-green stone shaped like a crab.

And the Qingping Restaurant is the best restaurant on Qing'ao Reef.

Before the arrival of the Qingping Tune, Jiang Wang used three hundred Dao Yuan stones to buy a jar of Tianya Ku. This wine was no ordinary drink; it was said to be the favorite of Long Ke, the legendary angler who had been taught by the founder of Diang Hai Lou. Only ten jars were produced each year.

Jiang Wang still had to ask Bi Zhu PoPo for help to buy it. He could have taken other routes, but this request itself was also a way of reporting his progress to Bi Zhu PoPo.

A self-serving inn, usually not welcomed, but as long as the silver is delivered, there's no problem.

Holding a wine jar in one hand, Jiang Wang barged into the pavilion under willow trees without invitation.

At that time, the person was alone by the window, drinking and looking forlorn. Suddenly hearing a noise, he frowned and was about to act.

Seeing that it was Jiang Wang, the anger subsided somewhat, but his tone was still bad: "Taking without asking is stealing, and entering without permission is trespassing. Do you know this"

When Jiang Wang heard this, he realized that he was mainly being punished by Xu Xiangqian's anger. Otherwise, why would Yang Liu be so verbose and pedantic It was clearly aimed at scholars.

But the friends of scholars are not necessarily those who can be influenced by their learning, while scoundrels' companions inevitably catch their bad habits.

>

Jiang Wang not only wasn't annoyed, but smiled instead: "Brother Liu, don't be like this. I came to visit, I didn't steal or rob, how could I be a thief Don't forget, at San Wei Zhuang, I even treated you to seafood!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He really has the nerve to say that. Back then, if it hadn't been for Yang Liu pestering him and paying a fortune to book the whole place, he wouldn't have even gotten in.

Although he was insistent on joining the meeting at first, there’s no way to refuse Jiang Wang's request to take a seat now.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

He looked sullen and mumbled, "My surname is Yang."

“Brother Yangliu, you misunderstood.” Jiang Wang quickly rectified, “I call you Brother Liu on purpose, to express my closeness. Just like I call Xu Xiangqian Brother Xiangqian.”

“You dare to mention Xi Xiangqian!” Yang Liu slammed the table and shouted angrily, “Are you here to humiliate me You chase all the way to Huai Island to humiliate me”

"Misunderstood, misunderstood." Jiang Wang walked a few steps to the table and said sincerely: "Liu... Yangliu brother, I left Xiaoyueya Island a bit early. Did something happen that I don't know about"

The willow tree probably also felt that she was being out of place by getting angry at Jiang Wangfa, so she sullenly leaned back in her chair and said stubbornly, "It's nothing!"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Jiang Wang sat down beside him naturally, looking like an old friend, and asked with concern: "I probably shouldn't ask this, but... how are you and Miss Zhao"

“Nor could I do anything about it.” Yang Liu looked out the window, trying to make her voice sound calmer: “She said she didn't want me following her anymore and hoped that I would have my own life.”

After finishing his words, he let out a cold laugh, probably to show his indifference and disdain.

But his eyes were clearly glistening with tears.

Jiang Wang sighed inwardly.

This young man is still too proud. Words like these wouldn't be persuasive to Xu Xiangqian.

Xu Xiangqian would only say things like "My life is you" or "I didn't follow you, I just followed our destiny," which are disgusting. He would never admit defeat and leave like Yang Liu, silently saddened alone.

"Alas, what a pity." Jiang Wang looked sincere: "To be honest, I think you and Miss Zhao are a perfect match."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"What about Xu Xiangqian" Yang Liu asked in a low voice.

"How can Xu Xiangqian compare to you" Jiang Wang said forcefully, almost as if swearing an oath: "You're far too strong!"

“Really” Yangliu turned her head and stared at him, “Where am I strong”

"Um..." Jiang Wang didn't expect him to be so honest. She was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Your hair is thicker than his!"

Yang Liu was clearly more dejected. He sighed, losing any desire to engage with Jiang Wang: "If you're here to mock me, there's no need. I did have some conflicts with Xu Xiangqian before, but it was all for the sake of our beloved ones, each using their own methods. Now that Xu Xiangqian has won, why are you still doing this"

He truly seemed heartbroken this time. All his fighting spirit was gone.

>>> Although Zhao Wuyan wasn't a woman who would stun you at first glance, she was like spring rain softening the earth, subtle yet effective. Setting aside everything else, both Yang Liu and Xu Xiangqian were considered brilliant men of their time, but they both fell completely for her.

>>>

>

Actually, saying that Xu Xiangqian won is not necessarily true. Miss Zhao isn't someone who falls in love easily. She has a very clear goal and knows what she wants. I think she wouldn't stay for anyone.

While silently observing Jiang Wang, how could Jiang Wang not have carefully observed this woman who had made Xu Xiangqian infatuated

What he said this time was actually the truth.

>

“At most, Xu Xiangqian is just not disliked now.”

Jiang Wang's analysis, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, at least appears to be mature and insightful.

But willow clearly didn't receive comfort, instead her face crumpled up: "So I've already been hated, is that it"

Even his voice had a faint hint of crying.

If he started to cry right then and there...

This is too scary.

Jiang Wang quickly brought out the vial of Heavenly Desolation Bitter Transfer and slapped it with his palm, breaking the seal.

With a faint bitterness, the aroma lingered in the air, its aftertaste lingering.

"Come! Brother Yang, let's not dwell on the past. Let us taste this fine wine! As they say, 'A good drink can cure a thousand woes!' "

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

The clear liquor filled two porcelain bowls. At this moment, Jiang Wang appeared both boisterous and approachable.

Yang Liu didn't want to be laughed at, so she immediately wiped away her thoughts and drank three bowls with Jiang Wang.

The bitterness of Tianya, in the faint taste of melancholy, there is a lingering sorrow. I don't know why, the alcohol goes straight to my heart.

The more you savor it, the more bitter it tastes, yet you still want to savor it.

Jiang Wang suddenly understood why this wine was called "Tianya Ku" (Wine of the Distant Shore's Bitterness). It truly was bitter from wandering and traveling, bitter from being alone at the edge of the world. This wine itself held emotions within it.

He was digesting the sudden, subtle emotions welling up inside him, carefully considering how to bring up the subject and steer the conversation toward Hai Jingping.

But the willow tree beside him suddenly burst into tears.

A practitioner doesn't get drunk easily, but these days he was determined to get drunk. The hardships of life were truly extraordinary.

A youthful heart, swayed by emotions, felt a multitude of grievances and its defenses crumbled in an instant.

>

“I really like her. I would do anything for her, so why, why is she being so cold to me”

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"I've never liked anyone this much. I do everything for her, for her... I don't know who to tell, they all laugh at me! They all secretly laugh at me..."

"Isn't this something to laugh about This is embarrassing, right Even I feel…"

"Brother Jiang, have you ever loved someone The taste of loving someone is just like the taste of this wine, so bitter..."

“Brother Jiang, I’m here, I’m here!”

>

He pounded on his chest, his heart pounding: “It hurts so much!”

An extraordinary cultivator crumbled into tears from emotional distress, a scene that appeared rather absurd.

But Jiang Wang didn't find it absurd.

One who has not experienced it firsthand cannot truly understand its bitterness. A spectator of the flames from afar can only marvel at their spectacle.

What might seem like an insignificant setback to onlookers could be a devastating blow, a world-ending event, for those directly experiencing it in their relationships.

It doesn't matter how strong that person is, it only depends on the amount of emotion you invest.

Some people's feelings are like skimming the surface of water, while others truly pour their hearts out.

Even the most powerful Transcendent cultivators are, at their core, just "humans".

A living, breathing person who can love and hate, cry and laugh.
