Chapter 329 Extra Story— Disappear Silently in the Country of Mu Xia
The bottle was in the shape of a gourd and was smooth and delicate. What was the most special part was the handle of the bottle, which was also made of a little gourd. The two gourds were cleverly connected by a vine. It looked like the bigger gourd was holding the small one while the small one wrapped onto the large one. The lip was the root of the vine, showing a natural and smooth combination.

The bottle’s shape was delicate and refined. Every detail showed unique ingenuity, subtly revealing a sense of tenderness in its mellow lines. The two gourds were like a mother and daughter. The mother showed her infinite love for her daughter, while the daughter relied on her mother. The two were made of crystal-white porcelain, while the vine was lush green with no extra impurities.

Duanmu Gongyu opened the lid and extended his nose to smell it. A rich smell of wine rushed to him with a faint fragrance like a kind of flower. Duanmu Gongyu could not tell what it was, but knew that was a kind of spirit. Although the smell was mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, Duanmu Gongyu also figured it out.

Duanmu Gongyu closed the lid and put the bottle on the table, praising it. “It’s a good spirit, rare to see. The bottle is unique. Thank you so much, Second Elder Brother.”

At that moment, Yun Muxi came in with a tray, followed by a small dog.

Yun Muxi placed the tea and cakes onto the table, sitting on the chair next to Duanmu Gongyu and asking the others to come to the table. “Come and taste my food. I promise that you have never eaten these before. These are the special Yun cuisine!”

Everyone looked at the exquisite food on the table and showed their surprise. They indeed had never seen that food before. Yun Muxi blinked her eyes at Duanmu Gongyu with pride, which meant: “See, my cooking skills must stun you all. These are all modern delicacies.”

Yun Muxi brought a pea cake to Duanmu Gongyu’s mouth and said when blinking her big eyes, “Gong Yu, come and have a taste to see whether it is suitable for you. I have been working on it since this morning.”

Duanmu Gongyu took a bite of the cake in Yun Muxi’s hand. A clear and refreshing taste filled his mouth. The yellow cake melted on the tongue and tasted sweet, which made Duanmu Gongyu stunned at once. He did not like sweet food normally, but this taste was really delicious. Duanmu Gongyu’s eyes lit up and he nodded his head with satisfaction. Then, he took a bite again.

When Yun Muxi found the other four were staring at Duanmu Gongyu with their eyes wide open, she thought they also wanted to eat the food, but she did not know that they were surprised by Duanmu Gongyu’s behavior. In their impression, Duanmu Gongyu always spoke in an indifferent way. In addition to his indifferent personality, he also had serious mysophobia, so he did not like to contact others’ bodies and would not eat anything in others’ hands. However, he even ate something from Yun Muxi’s hand. Was this still the Duanmu Gongyu they knew?

However, Yun Muxi knew nothing and asked the other four to eat. “You should have a try. Take it easy! I don’t know if these will suit your appetite.”

The four coughed and picked up a piece of cake to have a taste.

“Wow… Sister-in-law! This is awesome. I have never eaten such a delicious cake before.” Murong Che opened his eyes widely and shouted with surprise.

However, the way he addressed Yun Muxi shocked everyone. They all glanced at him and a sentence was written on their faces: “You’re really loose-lipped.”

Murong Che asked in confusion when seeing the others’ gazes, “Am I wrong? Isn’t this cake delicious?”

Huangfu Jianan gently coughed and said, “How did you address the girl?”

Murong Che still did not understand and repeated, “I addressed her as sister-in-law!”

In fact, this address had already made Yun Muxi feel ashamed. Before she could explain this, the loose-lipped boy repeated it again, which rendered Yun Muxi’s face into a red apple.

Everyone directly cast their eyes at Duanmu Gongyu, who was eating the cakes happily and had no sign of getting mad. Everyone there was stunned. Something happened. Something must have happened! Duanmu Gongyu received the others’ gazes, and said in a faint tone after swallowing the food in his mouth, “I like that address.”

However, Yun Muxi could not bear the embarrassment and hurried to explain, “Hey, don’t play a joke on me! What are you talking about? You all misunderstood. We don’t have the kind of relationship like you think.”

Everyone there said nothing, but Duanmu Gongyu said with a charming smile, “What kind of relationship is in their thoughts?”

Duanmu Gongyu’s plausible words made Yun Muxi more embarrassed. Duanmu Gongyu’s question seemed to make her explanation into an excuse! Yun Muxi did not know how to cover her embarrassment, but she had to pick up the bottle in the gourd shape in front of Duanmu Gongyu. She opened the cap and took a big sip.

Then, she was totally drunk! Why didn’t anyone tell her this was wine? The last experience of being drunk was terrible for her. She was a wimpy drinker and experienced this memorable time-travel.

Everyone was extremely stunned upon seeing Yun Muxi’s behavior and stared at her with eyes wide open.

Yun Muxi suddenly blushed. She opened her mouth and kept fanning herself. Then, she even began to squeeze her throat with her fingers to vomit the wine out. She even drank a cupful of tea. The whole process made everyone present stunned. For these gentlemen who had been familiar with delicate women, they could not get used to this vivid and genuine woman.

However, Yun Muxi’s actual self was not the most surprising thing for them, but… she fell onto the table at this moment! It just took a few minutes, but she was already drunk? Just taking a little sip of wine would make her pass out? Even if this was a kind of spirit, could there be someone so wimpy?

Duanmu Gongyu frowned slightly upon seeing that Yun Muxi was totally drunk. A flash of nervousness and helplessness showed up on his face. This little woman could always give him some unexpected surprises, including scares!

Duanmu Gongyu called Ruixue and Chuxia and asked them to take Yun Muxi back to her home to have a rest.

Duanmu Gongyu could not take her back because of an injury to his body while he hoped that the other four would have no chance to get in contact with his girl. He might need to wait for a moment to call for Ruixue and Chuxia, but it was the most secure way. He ordered the two maids to look after her carefully and finally asked them to leave.

The four brothers felt more shocked when listening to Duanmu Gongyu’s detailed orders, realizing that Yun Muxi was really important in Little Three’s mind! He really put her on the tip of his heart.

Ouyang Fangzheng asked in a faint voice, “Little Three, are you serious with Miss Yun?”

Duanmu Gongyu nodded faintly but seriously. “Yes.”

Ouyang Fangzheng said with his eyebrows furrowed, “Where does she come from? Have you checked her background? Is she reliable? She must be unusual to get so close to you in such a short time.”

Duanmu Gongyu just answered faintly, “I am sure she’s reliable.” Duanmu Gongyu gave a formative answer and did not explain too much about her. After all, he did not know how to tell them this little woman had time-traveled here from another world. They even had never heard the word of time-travel, and he could not find a word to explain it to them. In this way, he did not have to explain to them too much, but he just gave them confirmation.

Everyone looked at Duanmu Gongyu with their eyebrows furrowed. In their eyes, Duanmu Gongyu was always a cautious person, but this time, he made a decision too harshly. Besides, he paid too much attention to this woman.

This was not a good thing for him, let alone the purpose of this woman to get close to him. But for Duanmu Gongyu’s special identity, so many people hoped to get close to him, some of whom had to have different purposes. Therefore, the one that Duanmu Gongyu cared too much about would be his soft rib. Once bad guys found out about this, they might put him in danger.

They were brothers not just because they grew up together, but because they had similar identities and experiences. Besides, they knew each other deeply.

Because of their special identities, they would not put too many real emotions on any woman they had met. On one hand, they were afraid that they could not totally control their fate because their marriage would always be arranged by their parents and they did not have any choice. And on the other hand, the one they gave their true love to and cared about too much would be a weakness to them. They dared not bury such a bomb for themselves.

Therefore, they thought that Duanmu Gongyu’s change was good, but also hoped that he could learn more about the ways of people to be a man with flesh and blood. At the same time, they also worried about Duanmu Gongyu. Since he had been so struggling, how could he…

Duanmu Gongyu did not want to talk too much about this topic with them because he knew their concerns. He sent them away after chatting about some normal items with them. Duanmu Gongyu sat there for a while alone after the four left. He felt somewhat upset over the difficulty for him to be with Yun Muxi. Bottoming up the last cup of some cold tea, Duanmu Gongyu left to see that drunk little woman.

Duanmu Gongyu slowly stepped back into the room. Seeing Ruixue and Chuxia stay outside, he asked faintly, “How is Xiao Xi?”

Ruixue replied, “She is sleeping and has not woken up yet.”

Then, Duanmu Gongyu opened the door and went in. An empty bed was seen in his eyes and nobody was on the bed. Duanmu Gongyu looked around the whole room quickly, including every corner, even the box under the bed. Duanmu Gongyu felt stricken at once. No… it was impossible…

Duanmu Gongyu called for Ruixue and Chuxia in a serious tone, while the two came in hurriedly. Duanmu Gongyu asked, “Where is Xiao Xi?”

Ruixue pointed to the direction of the bed and said with confusion, “Miss Yun is on the bed…” Before she could finish her words, Ruixue was totally stunned.

Chuxia turned to the bed with confusion and covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief.

Duanmu Gongyu felt more and more uneasy. He asked Ruixue and Chuxia to leave and called for Dong Fangying. The four secret guards said that no one had come or gone.

Duanmu Gongyu repeatedly checked everything of Yun Muxi. Except for the white bear, everything was there including the weird dress she wore when he first saw her. This made Duanmu Gongyu more panicked.

Yun Muxi just disappeared as silently as she came here. Gloom covered everyone’s mind. The whole thing was too weird. Duanmu Gongyu, who had chatted about this issue with Yun Muxi before, felt totally desperate. Would this little woman just go back to her own world?
