Chapter 892: Chapter 410: Heroes Compete for Beauty, Li Xian Withdraws Alone, Immersed in Scenery Encounters the Courtesan (Part 4)

After leaving Bi Xiao Long Dream Tower, it’s inevitable to be difficult to return to the ordinary. Thus, he poured the exquisite wine from the pot into the "water bag." When the water bag was full, he was satisfied. Waiting for the "food delivery bird" to bring fresh wine.

Li Xian holds the new wine pot. He drinks directly from the spout, holding a "crab jade crisp" in his right hand, made from precious crab roe, with a delicious taste. Li Xian’s elegant and relaxed demeanor, truly unique to him alone.

By now, he was far from Tao Xiangrong, and Li Xian was unrestrained, indulging in the feast. Raising his wine pot, he happily exclaimed, "Striving for beauty, indeed charming and handsome, full of vigor and thrilling without end. However, taking a step back..."

He glanced at the surrounding scenic beauty, mist and haze entwining, sunlight hitting obliquely. Water shimmering, he continued, "Taking a step back, to embrace this endless beauty, leisurely passing time, is it not... more charming, more handsome, more carefree, more joyful."

He enjoyed drinking directly from the spout, not drunk yet, but the wine’s mood reached his mind, his magnanimous nature stirred. Completely forgetting the courtesan Tao Xiangrong, only pondering how to find enjoyment amidst tranquility, how to please himself.

Li Xian gradually noticed people leaving the banquet, thinking, "This banquet is far from over. When it’s time to present gifts, there might still be competition. Beauties are good, but needing such contention, it’s exceedingly troublesome. I’ve indulged enough in this feast, why not break away and wander around?"

Suddenly he saw the lakeshore, promptly steering the boat toward it. There were maidservants waiting at the shore, seeing Li Xian disembark, they actively approached and asked, "Young master, the banquet is not yet over, are you leaving now?"

Li Xian asked, "Can’t I leave the banquet?" The maidservant smiled and replied, "Naturally you can, my sister foreshadowed earlier, this banquet has no restrictions. Those who come do so on their own, and those who leave do so on their own."

Li Xian sighed, "Your sister truly has an extraordinary demeanor." The maidservant laughed, "That’s natural. Since you want to leave, please feel free."

Li Xian asked, "Though I leave the banquet, I’m curious about this place’s elegant scenery, may I wander around and take a look?"

The maidservant said, "Of course you can."

Li Xian inquired in detail about any prohibitions. After a cursory understanding, he wandered around, admiring the surrounding beauty. "Shuimeng Garden" spread with water bodies, like a dreamland on water, the scenery was indescribably beautiful.

Li Xian leisurely wandered, appreciating the clever layout. He secretly applied Heavy Pupils to grasp the intricacies within. However, the construction of "Bi Xiao Long Dream Tower" was intricate, how could one glimpse it fully, only leaving him bewildered.

So he focused solely on the beauty before his eyes.

As evening approached, one could see the setting sun, residual light spilling everywhere. The Cixia horizon had a "Sunwatch Platform," an ideal place to view the sun. Watching the morning glow, gazing at the setting sun.

Li Xian kept thinking, "Considering my two lifetimes, every day the sun rises and the moon sets, the sun sets and the moon rises. I’ve never really seen the sunset scene. Upon reflection... it truly is a great regret!"

Thus he sat in the Sunwatch Platform, leisurely gazing at the sun, seeing it shift westward, residual light spilling everywhere. Li Xian’s heart was as calm as a lake, neither stunning nor awe-inspiring, only a subtle, leisurely appreciation and insight.

As the last ray of light cast upon the Sunwatch Tree in "Jinde Garden," making the lush tree branches shine brilliantly golden, wondrously beautiful.

Suddenly, he heard a gentle voice behind him say, "Young master has such refined taste!"

Li Xian was startled, realizing a woman stood behind him, he cupped his hands and said, "Apologies, I was momentarily distracted, I shall leave now."

The woman was wearing a veil, with a graceful figure. She laughed lightly, "Young master watches the setting sun, yet never realized, as I watch you, you naturally never realized either."

Li Xian said, "Had I known you came to see the scenery too, this perfect spot should have been yours."

The woman’s gaze was peculiar, she asked, "You always call me young lady or lady, wouldn’t you know who I am?"

Li Xian truthfully said, "I truly don’t know."

She glanced briefly at Li Xian’s waist water bag, asking, "Are you drinking the Drunken Flower Brew?"

Li Xian said, "Naturally, unless..." having already sensed.

The woman said with keen interest, "Isn’t it odd, you attend my banquet, drink my fine wine, celebrate my birthday, yet happen not to know who I am?"
