Chapter 72 Clash in the Wine Pool



Jiuchi is a combination of a bar and a hot spring.

The twinkling colored lights illuminated the billowing steam, making it look like colorful clouds.

Walking along the path beside the hot spring, you can smell the intoxicating aroma of wine, and in the pavilion, a female singer with a magnetic voice is singing a cappella.

This was Horrey's first time in a place like this.

The three of them changed out of their school uniforms and into ordinary everyday clothes before the operation.

In a place where communication is not well-developed, it is not an easy task to make the whole city remember one face.

Besides, Horry had already tied his unruly braids into a regular ponytail. Without riding a horse or wielding the Fangtian Demon Halberd, no one could associate him with the Thunder Major General.

"Sir, we do not allow outside alcohol here."

"Oh, okay, here you go." Horry casually tossed the bottle to the woman dressed as a maid: "Then give me a bottle... hiccup, something more expensive and stronger than mine."

The woman held the bottle to her nose and sniffed it, then looked troubled. "Sir... we don't have a better bottle here than yours. Why don't you take a look..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, a slender hand shrouded in wisps of white mist gently pushed her away.

"They don't have it, but I do." The alluring voice made the woman tremble. She turned around and saw that the person who came was indeed Su Mei, whom many male customers called a "femme fatale".

"What do you mean?" Horry's drunken eyes narrowed, seemingly oblivious to any romantic gestures. "We're both guests, so why can she get takeout while I can't?"

“Oh, sir, you’ve misunderstood.” The woman had to explain on her behalf: “The drink Miss Su is holding is made with our beverages.”

"You can mix drinks?"

Horry's rising intonation at the end of his sentence startled Su Mei.

"Yes, that's right! Want to try it?"

Su Mei said defiantly, but inwardly she was already horrified.

I've always been the one who captivates people, but I almost fell for it just now.

Ha, as expected of the spirited and thunderous Major General! Now that I've run into you, you won't escape...

Su Mei tried her best to hide her thoughts, pretending to be a stranger to the person she was meeting. She swirled the glass in her hand, letting the unique aroma of the wine waft out, refreshing and delightful.

[Three-way victory (new information)]

[Dai Lele: (Smiling) Of course, if you don't disappoint me, I naturally (pauses, speaking softly) won't disappoint you either—]

"Cough... Of course! If you don't disappoint me, I certainly won't disappoint you either."

Horry gazed at her with amusement, a slight smile playing on his lips. His already deep voice softened further, and this suggestive tone made even the maid beside him blush and her heart race.

Su Mei's body stiffened again, as if she had been electrocuted, and even spilled a few drops of the wine that was swirling in her glass.

Has the "Charm Spell" met its match? Why does it always backfire...?

Su Mei's heart pounded with increasing tension.

Looking at his empty hands, he realized that Horry had already taken his wine glass.

When I came to my senses, my pupils reflected the image of him tilting his head back and drinking it all in one gulp.

A pinkish-purple liquid trickled down his lips, neck, and down to his chest, which was covered by his coat...

"No! Calm down!" Su Mei quickly closed her eyes. "How could this happen? Have I been using my abilities too often lately? Or am I just too tired? If it's not working today, let's do it another day... Damn it, I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

High on the rooftop, far away, Dai Lele lay prone beside Wang Xuefeng, her eyes fixed on the scene through the sniper scope, afraid of missing a single expression from Su Mei.

Huo Lei was connected via voice, so Dai Lele could naturally hear Su Mei's words. However, in their "first encounter," she felt that this scheming woman was not very skilled.

"So weak, how could Xiao He lose to her? I'm speechless." Dai Lele spat.

However, Horry waited a long time but still didn't receive any instructions from Dai Lele. He couldn't resist and started improvising—

"It tastes awful."

"Um?"

Su Mei felt a bucket of cold water poured over her head; the simple phrase "It tastes awful" inadvertently brought her back to normal.

"I said, the drink you made is rubbish! It tastes awful."

Horry glanced at her with a look of disgust, and added at the end, "Don't call this bartending, it doesn't deserve it."

"..."

Faced with Horry's "Wake up three times" mantra, Su Mei's face turned pale and then red.

Of course it doesn't taste good. The men who said it tasted good before were just trying to please her.

It tastes awful? It's garbage? It doesn't deserve it?

"Hehehe...Young Master is right. Then how about...we give Mei'er another chance?"

Su Mei quickly composed herself and asked in a soft, ticklish voice.

[Dai Lele: Disdain! She sneered and went to soak in the hot spring herself.]

[Dai Lele: By the way, remember to soak in the spring I marked; the angle there is the best view]

Horry: OK

Su Mei's smile froze, because Huo Lei didn't even look at her again, put down his cup and walked away gracefully.

The undisguised mockery in the maid's eyes ignited Su Mei's competitive spirit. She deftly picked up a new bottle of wine from the counter and swayed her hips as she followed Hori ahead.

"Splash—"

Warm spring water spilled out because of Horei's spread-eagle pose.

Since it was an artificial hot spring, it wasn't very deep, so even though Horley was sitting at the bottom of the pool, the water only reached his chest.

The maid, with a smile on her face, slowly placed a cup holder in the pool in front of Horee.

Thanks to the special design of the saucer, the wine glass does not sink into the water, but floats gently on the surface, swaying slightly with the rise and fall of Horé's chest.
