Sang Qingxiao smiled and said, "Haven't you killed a few people yourself? I need to see how those people died. If you deceive me, you will die without a burial place."
After a while, Sang Qingxiao continued, "Although what you told me differs slightly from your memory, it's not a big problem. Congratulations, you've managed to keep your life."
Yue Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Just as he relaxed halfway, he widened his eyes and asked, "Miss Sang, you didn't contract with me, did you? Previously, Black General told me that you took advantage of her weakness and contracted with her at the slightest touch on her forehead."
"Though you might be considered a good child, I already have the best child in the world. Even though he is dead, I will never betray him or rely on others."
"What are you thinking? Nothing."
"Uh, that's good." Yue Hao thought for a moment and felt it was strange. He then asked, "But why? Do you not think highly of me? My strength isn't weak either."
"Hey, you're an interesting person," Li Cu said while flicking her fluffy tail. "You want me to contract with you, but you're not happy about it; if I don't contract with you, you're still not happy. What do you actually want?"
"I really don't want to be contracted, but if Miss Sang has no intention of contracting with me, does that mean I'm not qualified? It gives me an inexplicable sense of defeat, so I just had to ask."
Sang Qingxiao countered, "Didn't you say you already have a child? Although he is dead, he lives on in your heart. I won't take away someone else's love; he deserves to be remembered by you for a lifetime."
"However, if you want to recognize me as your master, I can contract with you. I could really use a brewing master."
"Let's skip that." Yue Hao reassured her. "The wine here is brewed according to the prescriptions my child devised during his lifetime. A person's prescription is the best there is."
"The wine business has already been arranged with Misha; the price is certainly the most favorable. However, all the wine sold must include the word 'Zhou'—Zhou's Moonlight Brew, Zhou's Fragrance."
"Your family shouldn't mind this, right?"
"Though my child's later years were carefree, sometimes they were still lonely. When people drink Zhou's wine, it's like clinking glasses with my child. When the wine he researched receives more and more praise from others, he should be happy about it."
Sang Qingxiao nodded in agreement.
On the first day of the commotion in the city, Yue Governor made an appearance. His face was so dark it seemed like ink could drip from it. He threw a tantrum in front of everyone but still did not drive them away; in fact, more people gathered as time went on.
Rumors spread throughout the city as people privately complained that regardless of how Six People died, they deserved it.
Yue Governor was heartbroken for his son and sheltered him while wanting to seek revenge for him. People were willing to endure and pretend not to see his antics for their own good lives.
However, with Lockdown lasting many days and no end in sight, this touched upon the interests of all officials and citizens in the city; they could no longer pretend not to see.
Moreover, nearly half the city's population had witnessed that scene from Underworld—it was truly terrifying. If one person saw it, it could be considered coincidence; but if so many people saw it, it was a clear warning from Underworld.
People in ancient times were inherently superstitious; with Underworld right before their eyes, how could they not be afraid?
They could no longer allow Yue Governor's recklessness to affect the entire city. The crowd was united in their rare resolve; they would not leave without a resolution.
After causing such an uproar for two days, they truly managed to open the city gates.
Several people planned to leave the city as soon as possible.
"Miss Sang, perhaps our next stop could be Meizhou," Yue Hao suggested.
"Why go there?"
"Meizhou has wine, beautiful scenery, and delicious food."
"And it also has the Men's Wedding Dress Case, right?" Sang Qingxiao caught onto his little scheme and continued the conversation.
"If it really is the work of Evil Spirits, Miss Sang will surely be able to slay the demons and bring peace back to the surrounding people."
