Hu Lie's mouth was agape like a python, staring at Chu Mo in disbelief before finally speaking, "Brother, didn't you just convert the alcohol into energy and absorb it?"
"I'm not drunk, I'm serious." Chu Mo replied.
"Cough cough…" Hu Lie suddenly broke into a loud cough, his face flushed red.
"If you want to laugh, just laugh. You don't need to hold back." Chu Mo said.
"Hahahaha…" Hu Lie burst into a roaring laughter.
The Tiger Clan's roar could be used as a weapon, and although Hu Lie didn't infuse any power into his laughter, it still echoed out, alarming many around.
Shangguan Nan who was on his way upstairs lightly furrowed his brows then quickly relaxed, "That old tiger is present too."
Fairy Yun Meng responded coldly, "No idea what kind of madness he's getting into."
Fairy Caidie gently added, "Probably just drunk and causing a ruckus."
Qi Xiaoyu maintained a expressionless face, she was originally cold and aloof, and despite being from the Spirit Realm and not being on par with these mortal beings, she never felt inferior or lesser.
Shangguan Nan said, "I'm not going to bother with him. Even if that tiger is causing drunken havoc, it's not going to affect me."
In the room.
Hu Lie chuckled for a while, laughing till tears streamed down his face. Then he looked at Chu Mo, "Brother, why didn't I realise before that you had such a great sense of humour?"
"You think I'm joking?" Chu Mo replied lightly.
"It's not a joke? Could it be true?" Hu Lie laughed heartily, caught his breath, and started, "A naive young man falls in love with a beautiful girl, it's perfectly normal. It's even acceptable to have fantasies now and then... But if you fantasize excessively, that's a problem."
"Her and I, we aren't strangers like you think." Chu Mo hesitated before revealing, "I've known her for a long time."
This was something Hu Lie would find out sooner or later, so it was better to tell him now. Also, in the Realm of Illusion, Hu Lie was the only person Chu Mo could trust.
Even that mysterious man only made Chu Mo feel baffled, there was no way he could trust him.
"What do you mean?" Hu Lie realized that Chu Mo wasn't joking and looked at him with squinted eyes.
"She once had a clone who entered the Mortal Realm. Between her and I, many intersections have occurred..." Chu Mo's eyes were filled with memories as he talked about his encounters with Qi Xiaoyu.
"You're saying... she came to the Mortal Realm to find someone, and that someone... might be you?" Hu Lie's expression began to turn grave.
"Yes, but, she never mentioned anything about it until her clone crumbled. She never revealed her identity." Chu Mo said somewhat sadly, "But I have a feeling that before her clone crumbled, she had already regained her lost memories."
"Clones like hers are the most rudimentary level, they are not even proper clones. When her clone crumbles, her true self would be greatly hurt, and she would completely lose all memory of her clone." Hu Lie looked at Chu Mo sympathetically, "In other words, she's now a stranger who you are most familiar with... even familiar would be stretching it. Her clone and her true self, due to memory loss, would have completely different personalities. So brother, your chances of winning her back, is almost impossible."
"She is mine!" Chu Mo stated earnestly, "No matter what, I need to figure out the difficulty she is facing and to let her know who I am! I can help her!"
"..." Hu Lie watched Chu Mo, his lips twitched as he swallowed back the harsh words he wanted to say.
Chu Mo looked up at Hu Lie, softly saying, "I know what you want to say, that I'm too weak, right?"
Hu Lie let out a sigh, "If we give you time, and the same conditions we had for cultivation, I believe, your cultivation speed would not be slower than ours, it might even be quicker!"
"But right now... indeed, you are weak."
"This might hurt your confidence, but I believe you already know that you might... be the weakest in the whole Realm of Illusion!"
Chu Mo's expression dimmed a bit, but soon, a smile appeared on his face, "I know, currently, I'm the weakest in the Realm of Illusion, but, I believe that won't be the case soon!"
Hu Lie let out a sigh, "Even if you have one hundred years of training and you manage to reach the transcendence stage, that would already make you amongst the top talent. But the question is, can that Elf girl wait for you for a hundred years? If she can, she wouldn't be seeking help publicly."
Hu Lie glanced at the board before him, "Look here, the scion of the Heavenly Realm's prestigious Shangguan Family, Shangguan Nan, is already trying to win her over ... Ah... even Fairy Caidie and Fairy Yun Meng... goodness, they have even come to our pub…"
Hu Lie glanced at Chu Mo, "The most crucial issue isn't whether you can help her, it's... she absolutely has no memory of you!"
That sentence stabbed Chu Mo's heart like a knife, as he well knew everything Hu Lie said was true.
The girl who was once so attached to him, who ran around him cheerfully, now, had no recollection of him at all.
If he rushed to see her now, he might just end up being misunderstood.
So even though Qi Xiaoyu came into this pub with scion of the Heavenly Clan to meet him, Chu Mo did not even muster the courage to see her.
The courage he just gathered in front of Hu Lie vaporized like a popped balloon— leaving no trace.
Even if she's your wife…..so what?
Chu Mo's heart was filled with bitterness.
Hu Lie could not bear to watch, he hadn't experienced such deep love, but his brotherly bond with his elder brother Hu Xio was extremely strong!
If one day, his elder brother Hu Xio lost his memory and forgot about him, Hu Lie estimated that he would be as miserable as Chu Mo.
Although love and kinship aren't the same, he could imagine the anguish.
Hu Lie sat there in deep thought, contemplating for a while before decisively hitting the table to break the silence, causing Chu Mo to jump in surprise.
Looking up at Hu Lie, "What are you trying to do?"
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet her!" Hu Lie got up and grabbed Chu Mo's arm, "Since she's your wife, sitting there with another man, what does that mean?"
"No... She's not being intimate with that man, she doesn't even remember me…" Chu Mo instinctively refused.
"Nonsense! Whether or not she remembers you doesn't matter, what matters is, she's your wife! That's enough!" Hu Lie poured himself another bowl of the Illusion God Brew from the jar, gulped it down, ran his hands through his golden locks, slightly messing them up before saying, "Let's go!"(To be continued.
