“Rise –!”
Bei Xiaolu barked and violently presses her right palm on the silver wolf’s jaw, lifting it from the ground. Although the latter tried to hit Bei Xiaolu with its claws. But in the end, it still couldn’t escape the fate of being thrown backwards.
The silver wolf lay on its side. When it fell on the ground, it set off a breeze that scattered in all directions.
“You’re just a slightly bigger dog, yet you want to fight this old one? Let me tell you, this old one likes to hit dogs the most!”
Bei Xiaolu scolded angrily, and then plopped down with her but on the silver wolf that was about to get up. Thereupon, it fell heavily to the ground again and made a low sound similar to whimper.
“This old one let you shout! This old one let you chase me!”
As she spoke, Bei Xiaolu patted the silver wolf’s head every two words. The silver wolf glared at her, yet it couldn’t get up.
Despite seeing this comical scene, Xue Qilin couldn’t laugh for some reason.
Why does it feel like this “give him an inch, and he’ll want a mile” attitude is so similar to myself… She suddenly felt strange.
Bei Xiaolu untied the wine gourd hanging from her waist, pulled out the cork, faced upwards, and took a big swig.
Her throat is constantly moving, yet it still cannot to cope with such a large influx of liquid. Wine spilled out from her mouth, slid down her round face, and wetter her dress, her hair, and the ground.
The wine she is drinking has a matchless fragrance.
Although Xue Qilin doesn’t like wine, but she doesn’t hate it either. Just like a person who doesn’t particularly like to eat yet will salivate in the face of delicious food, she can’t help but sniffle and fix her eyes on the wine gourd.
What a waste… looking at the overflowing wine, Xue Qilin swallowed.
Even so, her face isn’t thick enough for her to ask Bei Xiaolu for some wine. There is a small grudge between them. In front of outsiders, Xue Qilin still wants face.
However, when Bei Xiaolu looked around, she didn’t miss Xue Qilin’s reaction.
“Hmm?”
Bei Xiaolu moved the wine gourd away from her pink lips and handed it to Xue Qilin. At the same time, she wiped her lips with her sleeve rather carelessly.
“What, do you want some?”
“Ah, are you asking me?”
When Xue Qilin showed no reaction momentarily, Bei Xiaolu gave her a impatient look.
“What nonsense! If it’s not you, then who? That tree beside you?”
“Oh, so generous?”
Surprised, Xue Qilin took a step back.
She originally thought that Bei Xiaolu is a petty character. As such, she didn’t expect Bei Xiaolu to readily hand her the wine gourd when she saw that she wants some, making her feel like she has become a lowly person who “gauges the heart of a gentleman with one’s own mean measure”.
“Tsk, of course I’m generous! Not to brag, but this old one is the most generous in the world!”
Bei Xiaolu moved her buttocks, bent her left leg, and stepped on the silver wolf.
“So, do you want it or not?”
Feeling a little ashamed, Xue Qilin temporarily didn’t go to receive the gourd. She doesn’t know how to reply. Seeing that Xue Qilin isn’t answering, Bei Xiaolu issued a “ptooey” sound.
“Old-womanish! If you want some, then have some! Hurry up!”
“Old-womanish my ass!”
When Xue Qilin heard the other party criticize her, she immediately walked over, snatched the wine gourd away from Bei Xiaolu’s hand, and, while following the example of the other party, faced upwards and took a swig.
As soon as the cool liquid reached her throat, it turned into a hot torrent and poured into Xue Qilin’s stomach, making her cheeks turn red.
What strong wine!
Xue Qilin stared at the wine gourd, elated. The wine is stronger than what she had so far, no weaker than liquor. But the amazing thing is that it didn’t lose the soft, rich, and smooth qualities of long-term brewing.
Well, only the words “great wine” can describe Bei Xiaolu’s wine.
“So? Is this old one’s wine good or what!”
“It is. What is it called?”
Xue Qilin asked absentmindedly.
“‘Drunk Dragon’!”
Bei Xiaolu said loudly, her face filled with pride. Thereupon, the silver wolf struggled, and she nearly fell flat on her face.
“Asshole! Stop flailing!”
As she spoke, Bei Xiaolu patted silver wolf’s head again. The silver wolf could only aim one eye at her and howl furiously.
“The only thing you have left is to howl! If you have the guts, then bite this old one!”
Bei Xiaolu snorted disdainfully and took back her wine gourd from Xue Qilin. She took another sip of wine, and then looked at Xue Qilin.
“Xue Qilin, should’t a received favor be paid back?”
She suddenly asked.
Xue Qilin was taken aback by the question.
“When did I receive a favor from you? Don’t talk nonsense!”
Bei Xiaolu aimed a disdainful loot at Xue Qilin.
“It’s incredible! You want to dine and dash?”
“Hey, don’t say things that people can misunderstand! What dine and dash [1], there’s nothing between us that cannot see the light of day!”
“Ah, what are you talking about? Why doesn’t this old one understand?”
A queer look streaked across Bei Xiaolu’s face.
“Er…”
It seems that I got too excited and spoke without thinking… Xue Qilin looked away, embarrassed. Bei Xiaolu raised an eyebrow and aimed a puzzled look at Xue Qilin, who is at a loss for words.
However, Bei Xiaolu, who gives off a carefree impression, didn’t press the issue. She quickly said “forget it”, and then withdrew her gaze.
“What this old one is talking about is this — this!”
Bei Xiaolu shook the wine gourd.
So, the favor she speaks of was to treat me to a drink? Black drooping lines appeared on Xue Qilin’s forehead.
“You drank my wine, so shouldn’t you do me a favor?”
Although this feels like it was a set up, but I did drank the wine. Xue Qilin suppressed the feeling of dissatisfaction and sighed inwardly, resigned.
She asked, pretending that she finds this difficult, “What do you want?”
If the request isn’t excessive, then Xue Qilin thinks that she can accept it. Besides, the wine was really good.
“This old one heard that you’re proficient in the nuisance called magic?”
“What nuisance! Hey, can you watch your words?”
Xue Qilin protested emotionally.
Although she is usually carefree, but hearing someone call her specialty skills “nuisance”, she can’t ignore that.
“I have never seen such a petty character who cares so much about some small stuff.”
Bei Xiaolu wrinkled her nose scornfully.
“What the deuce? Then can I call your Dragon Subduing Palm Worm Subduing Palm instead?”
“Whoa, you can try if you have the guts!”
Bei Xiaolu violently slapped the silver wolf.
The thing suffering underneath the lass revealed a stunned expression. Unable to understand why she would take her anger out on it, it forgot to be angry.
“That is a unique skill of the Beggars’ Union!”
“Oh, rules for thee but not for me?”
Xue Qilin crossed her arms disdainfully and shot Bey Xiaolu a scornful glance.
