The Lord of Yaochi x The Immortal Venerable of Penglai
(Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty: a love between immortals brought together by fate)
His name was Zhu Mosheng, a renowned medicinal immortal whose fame had spread far and wide from Penghu. Immortals from every corner revered him as Mr. Zhu, and she was no exception.
During a chaotic battle, by a twist of fate, she became his student in a study on the southern mountain.
Zhu Mosheng was hardly a model teacher.
On New Year's Eve, under the pretext of taking her down the mountain to see the world, he led her off to enjoy themselves in Penglai.
At a suspended bridge, she trembled with fear.
He quietly stopped and lowered his head, speaking softly to her. "If we truly are destined, would you marry me?"
"Then..."
His lips brushed hers, and her whole face suddenly burned.
"Would you marry me?"
"I... wouldn't..."
"Still dare to marry me?"
"I don't dare."
They lay together on the mountaintop in Penglai, outside the Floating Sound Hall.
"Does Teacher live in this hall?"
He came over and tightened her robe around her, unconcerned. "I rarely stay here."
Then he tightened her robe again. "If you're not here, why would I stay alone in an empty room?"
"Teacher, do you love the mortal world?"
He gazed at the mist over the distant mountains. "I don't love the mortal world. I love it only because you're in it."
Zhu Mosheng was quite the poet.
