Chapter 23: Love Is Like a Glass of Wine, Which Offends Everyone Who Drinks It
Time froze again.
Xiao Yin was almost half lying on Liu Erlong, his face only an inch away from Liu Erlong's red lips, which were slightly open in astonishment, and he could hear her breathing.
His right hand was still tightly grasping the soft mass, and because of the tension and the force of the impact, his five fingers even subconsciously clenched.
Liu Erlong's cheeks instantly turned red like a sunset cloud, spreading all the way to her ears and neck!
A throbbing sensation she had never experienced before swept through her body like an electric current!
The feeling was so clear, so strange, so... shameful!
"You... let go!"
After a brief silence, a scream of shame and anger suddenly burst out from Liu Erlong's mouth!
Like a mother dragon whose tail was stepped on!
The dormant Fire Dragon Spirit phantom on her body instantly boiled over, and the Soul Sage's pressure exploded uncontrollably!
Xiao Yin was also awakened by the scream. He withdrew his hand suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, and his body suddenly bounced backwards!
Looking at Liu Erlong's eyes full of shame and anger, and the clear wrinkles on her chest left by his grip...
"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Xiao Yin was unusually nervous, as if the amazing touch just now was still lingering on his fingertips.
"Shut up!!!"
Liu Erlong was filled with shame and anger. She stood up straight abruptly and subconsciously covered her chest with her hands. However, she felt that this action made her look even more guilty, and she was shaking with anger.
She wanted to get angry, but looking at Xiao Yin's innocent expression, and thinking about it, it was indeed an accident during the fight...
The fire was hard to ignite, and her chest rose and fell violently, and the proud curve was even more breathtaking.
In the valley of the Sunset Forest, the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long.
A blushing Soul Sage beauty and an embarrassed young man.
There was an extremely strange and ambiguous silence in the air.
Liu Erlong glared at Xiao Yin fiercely, her eyes seemed to want to eat him alive, but deep in her eyes, there was a trace of panic and... strangeness that she herself was not aware of.
That grab just now... that feeling... damn it!
She turned around abruptly, her back facing Xiao Yin, her voice trembling slightly:
"Go... Go back to the city!"
After she finished speaking, a red light flashed on her body and she instantly disappeared over the dense forest.
Xiao Yin stood there, looking at the direction where Liu Erlong disappeared, then looked down at his right hand. The fingertips seemed to still have that soft warmth.
He gave a helpless smile.
"I really didn't mean to..."
-----------------
The night sky of Heaven Dou City is illuminated by thousands of lights, and prosperity is revealed amidst the hustle and bustle.
Liu Erlong really kept her word and took Xiao Yin straight to the most famous "Meltdown" tavern in the city.
There is no exquisite decoration here, only rough wooden tables and chairs and a strong smell of alcohol.
"Boss! Same old rules! Twenty jars of the strongest 'Heartburning' first!"
As soon as Liu Erlong entered the room, she slammed the table and yelled, her voice drowning out the surrounding noise and attracting a lot of attention.
But when they recognized it as the notorious female Tyrant Dragon from Blue Tyrant Academy, those gazes shrank back.
The two found a corner and sat down.
"What I'm looking for is the most fragrant wine. Where did you bring it to me?" Xiao Yin looked at Liu Erlong with a deceived look.
"Oh, don't worry, you'll know in a moment!"
Soon, twenty rough clay wine jars slammed heavily onto the table.
Liu Erlong broke the mud seal, and an extremely pungent smell of alcohol instantly spread out.
She picked up a jar and raised it proudly towards Xiao Yin: "Don't be a coward if you're a man! Drink it!"
After saying that, she tilted her long neck back and gulped down the drink.
The wine flowed down her fair neck into her clothes, and under the firelight, there was a thrilling wild beauty.
But Xiao Yin didn't waste any words. He also picked up a jar and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hiss? So spicy!"
At this moment, Xiao Yin only felt a stream of boiling liquid rolling through his throat like magma, exploding into a ball of fire in his stomach.
He seriously suspected that this was Liu Erlong's revenge!
"Happy!"
Liu Erlong wiped the corner of her mouth, her eyes brightening surprisingly. The awkwardness she felt in the forest during the day seemed to be completely washed away by the strong liquor.
She opened another jar and faced Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin naturally takes a long time to develop.
After three rounds of drinks, there were more and more empty jars on the table.
Two bright red clouds had already appeared on Liu Erlong's fair cheeks, and her eyes began to become blurred, as if covered with a layer of moist luster.
Her voice was a little louder, with a drunken boldness.
"Xiao Yin! You kid... can do it!"
She patted Xiao Yin's shoulder with surprising force.
"I've been in the soul master world for so many years... and I've never seen anyone as talented as you! Especially... especially..."
She burped, her eyes wandering, "Especially that body... it's as hard as a lump of iron..."
Xiao Yin also drank a lot, but his mind was still clear.
Maybe it's the effect of the Purple Heart Jade Bone Orchid!
"Hurry... Do you know how hard it was for me to establish Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Liu Erlong's voice suddenly lowered, with a hint of barely perceptible grievance and fatigue, "Those noble gentlemen... their nostrils are in the sky!
They look down on me, a woman who runs an Academy... They're putting obstacles in my way, both overtly and covertly... It's hard to recruit students... It's even harder to get sponsorship... They all think I'm easy to bully!"
She took a big gulp of wine, and the spicy liquid seemed to suppress the surging emotions.
"And... and that bastard family..." Her voice became even lower, filled with resentment and... a hint of hurt.
"When they need you, they say all the nice things... but when they don't, they throw you away like a piece of trash... What a hypocrite! Disgusting!"
She slammed the wine jar heavily on the table, making a dull sound, and her eyes seemed to be a little red.
Xiao Yin listened quietly without interrupting, but just picked up the wine jar and silently filled it up for her and himself.
He knew that Liu Erlong needed an outlet to vent at this moment.
"Do you think... I want to be so fierce?"
Liu Erlong suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiao Yin with drunken eyes, her eyes full of confusion and fragility.
"If I'm not fierce... if I'm not cruel... if I don't pretend to be more manly than men... how can I control the situation? How can I protect the Academy? How... how can I..."
Her voice choked, and the following words seemed difficult to utter.
The alcohol completely broke down her defenses.
The intense physical contact in the forest during the day, that brief but unforgettable closeness, seemed to open the floodgates of a certain emotion.
At this moment, under the catalysis of alcohol, the grievances and unwillingness that were buried deep in the heart and never told to others poured out like a flood.
"And... Yu Xiaogang... that coward!"
She finally called out this name with even deeper pain, as if it had been suppressed for too long.
"What does he... what does he know?! He only knows his theories! His escapes! He doesn't even... he doesn't even have the courage to admit it! Leaving me alone... to face all this..."
Tears finally flowed uncontrollably, mixing with the wine and sliding down her cheeks.
She lay on the table, her shoulders twitching violently. She was no longer the impetuous Soul Sage Dean during the day, but just an ordinary woman who was bleeding from the pain of love.
Xiao Yin looked at Liu Erlong, who was lying on the table and crying silently, and sighed slightly in his heart.
Yu Xiaogang, right? Next time we meet, I will definitely slap you hard again!
He stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally gently placed it on her slightly trembling shoulder.
"Okay..." he whispered, his voice holding a rare gentleness.
Liu Erlong seemed to be awakened by the touch and sound, and suddenly raised her head.
With tears in her eyes, she looked at Xiao Yin.
The dim, flickering lights of the tavern cast bright and dark shadows on his angular face.
Those deep eyes, under the influence of alcohol and the light, have an indescribable... attraction.
