Chapter 109 World Three [23]
Jing Ke did not fail to notice that her little disciple was not in a good state, but she did not correctly understand the little disciple's expression. She thought that her little disciple was not used to this kind of atmosphere, so he was particularly nervous.
"Is there any lighter wine?" Jing Ke asked the girl next to him.
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment, I'll get it right away." The girl who helped peel the fruit was very sensible and immediately brought out a small pot of fruit wine with a very light smell.
Jing Ke poured out a little and smelled it. After making sure that the alcohol content was only in the single digits, he poured a little into another wine glass and placed it in front of his young apprentice.
"Don't be so reserved here. Relax a little," Jing Ke said. "This wine is very light. You can drink a little."
"Okay, okay, Master." Luo Yuezhu licked her lips. Thinking that she came here to break her master's fixed impression of her, she drank half a glass of wine in one gulp without thinking.
Fortunately, this is a wine with a very low alcohol content. Luo Yuezhu did not feel any discomfort after taking a sip. Instead, she felt like she was drinking sugar water.
"Master, is this fruit wine? It tastes a bit sweet." Luo Yuezhu said. This seemed a little different from the wine she expected.
"Yes, it's more suitable for your age." Jing Ke said, reaching out to pick up the wine pot and pouring half a cup for the young apprentice. "But since this is your first time drinking, don't drink too much. Only drink half a pot at most."
The young apprentice nodded obediently, and continued to drink half a cup after half a cup until his master stopped pouring wine for him. Only then did he reluctantly give up the idea of drinking the fruit wine as if it were water.
Jing Ke strictly controlled the amount of alcohol his little disciple drank, not letting her drink even a sip more, but she did not restrain herself at all. Relying on her ability to use her internal energy to dissolve the effects of alcohol, she directly used a large bowl and started drinking with Yin Honglian.
Yin Honglian herself is a person who likes to drink. It is rare for her to have someone to accompany her, so she just let go. In the end, she didn't want to use the bowl anymore, and just picked up the jar of wine and drank in a very heroic way.
Jing Ke naturally didn't want to be at a disadvantage in drinking, so he also started to compete directly with the other person using wine jars.
Jing Ke and Yin Honglian were both able to use their internal energy to neutralize the effects of alcohol, so they drank very intoxicatedly. After each of them finished three jars of wine in one breath, neither of them was defeated and they truly drank the wine as if it were water.
The two of them were not drunk, but after drinking too much, they had to find a place to relieve themselves so as not to have a stomach full of water.
Just like that, Jing Ke and Yin Honglian left temporarily for some reasons, leaving Ye Wenxin and Luo Yuezhu alone in the room.
Ye Wenxin and Luo Yuezhu were once rivals in the ring. Ye Wenxin did not find it too difficult to accept losing to a fifteen-year-old girl, but he could not help but feel a little envious of her.
I envy Luo Yuezhu for having such a master who has no secrets and is extremely protective of others. I envy Luo Yuezhu for being able to hide safely under her master's wings. It is enough for her to live a peaceful and happy life without having to worry about those problems that make her unable to sleep or eat.
"Do you want to try it?" Ye Wenxin took the initiative to ask after noticing Luo Yuezhu's gaze occasionally falling on the wine jar. "Although your master doesn't want you to get drunk, I think a small sip should be fine."
"Then, thank you for your help, Miss Ye." Luo Yuezhu couldn't control her curiosity and picked up her own wine glass and handed it over.
"You're welcome," Ye Wenxin said. She didn't choose the strong liquor that Jing Ke and Yin Honglian were drinking, but instead picked up the relatively mild sake she had on hand and poured half a glass for Luo Yuezhu.
Luo Yuezhu smelled it first, and after finding the smell not pungent, she picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
Hmm, this wine tastes a little different than before, not as sweet, but it seems pretty good?
Just as Luo Yuezhu was savoring the sake, the door of the room was pushed open and a drunk male guest stumbled in.
"Beauty, little beauty, here I come..." The male guest muttered as he walked. After seeing that the room was full of beautiful girls, his dreamy eyes brightened up a little.
"Sir, you've come to the wrong place. This is another guest's room." The two girls closest to the door reacted quickly and wanted to kick the man out.
"Go away, this is the beauty I ordered. How could I have made a mistake?" Although the male guest was drunk, he was still very strong. With a push, he pushed the two girls who were playing the music to the ground.
Ye Wenxin frowned, and when he saw the male guest was about to walk towards him, he gripped the sword at hand, wondering whether it would be better to knock the man out directly or teach him a lesson.
While Ye Wenxin was hesitating, Luo Yuezhu drew out her sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the man's throat without mercy.
As long as he dared to take a step forward, the sharp sword would pierce the opponent's throat.
The sword blade, stained with a lot of human blood, emitted a cold light. Perhaps it was the pain in his throat, or perhaps the man was not completely drunk. After realizing that his life was threatened, he woke up at an extremely fast speed.
"Sorry, I, I took the wrong way..." The man swallowed and backed away.
"Apologize." Luo Yuezhu frowned and said,
The man was stunned for a moment, then took another step back. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"It's not towards me, it's towards the two girls you pushed down." Luo Yuezhu corrected.
Luo Yuezhu, who had seen blood before, knew very well that she didn't need to waste time and energy on such a person. As long as she picked up the sword in her hand, she could solve the problem as quickly as possible.
"I'm sorry, ladies, I'm sorry..." Although the man was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he still bowed his head and apologized.
"Apologize," Luo Yuezhu added, "and get out."
"Yes, yes, I apologize, I apologize." Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead. After sensing the murderous aura from Luo Yuezhu, he didn't dare to refute at all. He quickly took out some change and handed it to the two girls.
After seeing that Luo Yuezhu did not continue to give him orders, the man ran away, covering his still bleeding neck.
Ye Wenxin was amazed at the other party's boldness and decisiveness, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Luo, it seems like this is not the first time you have experienced this."
Luo Yuezhu calmly put away her sword, sat down, and said, "Master has taken me on many trips. Although I haven't been to a place like Fengming Tower, I have seen many drunken men deliberately teasing girls in restaurants."
"How does your master deal with those people?" Ye Wenxin asked curiously.
"It depends on the situation. Some people had their hands chopped off by the master, while others only had a finger cut off." Luo Yuezhu recalled, "If someone relied on their martial arts skills to act recklessly, the master would cripple their martial arts skills and make them useless."
Ye Wen nodded slowly. From this perspective, Jing Ke should be a chivalrous man who is more upright, otherwise he would not be able to raise such a disciple.
Fengming Tower responded quickly. Although the madam didn't come in person, she quickly sent two girls to the room. She also said that Fengming Tower would cover all expenses for the day, and they could eat and drink as they pleased without having to pay any extra money.
Luo Yuezhu and Ye Wenxin were barely satisfied with the result. The latter unceremoniously added a bunch of fruit plates and good wine, preparing for the two people who came back from using the toilet to continue drinking.
When Jing Ke heard about this unexpected change, his first reaction was to check on his little disciple. After making sure that the little disciple was not hurt at all, he returned to his position with peace of mind.
"Jing Ke, don't treat your precious little disciple as a child. She is the champion of the martial arts conference and a young genius who defeated the right protector in front of countless people." Yin Honglian said, and quickly opened the wine jar.
"Do you want to continue? You can't use internal force to cheat." Yin Honglian raised an eyebrow at Jing Ke.
Jing Ke also opened a jar of wine. "Okay, but just drinking is boring. How about adding a bet?"
"Okay, what do you want to bet on?" Yin Honglian was not afraid at all.
"If I win, you can let me work for you for a month." Jing Ke said, "And vice versa, if you win, you can let me help you for a month."
"Seriously? Are you going to make it that big?" Yin Honglian was a little hesitant to agree easily.
"If you don't dare, you can change the conditions." Jing Ke said, not worried about losing at all.
"One month is too much to do. Why not change it to three conditions? Three conditions that do not involve the inheritance of the sect, nor involve too many conditions." Yin Honglian patched it carefully.
Yin Honglian is not a gambler, and she also knows very well that Jing Ke does not want to get involved in the mess between the Demon Cult and the Martial Arts Alliance. If she really loses a month, it will definitely be a price she cannot afford.
"Okay, three conditions, that's it." Jing Ke said. From Yin Honglian's reaction, she got a lot of useful information.
It seems that the Demon Cult has not set its sights on him. Yin Honglian refuses to leave here, probably mostly because of her selfish motives.
Let me guess, what selfish motives does Yin Honglian have?
Yin Honglian doesn't want to inherit the position of leader, and even less want to engage in any rebellion, so why should she stay here? What benefits can she get by staying here?
After a quick brainstorming session, Jing Ke gave the other person a meaningful look.
If he is not here for the inheritance of his own sect, then it seems that he is using me to deceive the leader of the Demon Cult. Is he using me as an excuse to slack off?
Yin Honglian felt that Jing Ke was looking at her with a somewhat unsettling look, and she couldn't help but rub her hands. "Then it's settled. No one can cheat using internal energy. The first person to lie on the table loses!"
"Okay, first jar of wine." Jing Ke picked up the jar of wine, touched it lightly with Yin Honglian, and then began to gulp it down his throat.
After seeing Jing Ke start drinking, Yin Honglian was not idle either and soon started drinking too.
Without the help of internal force, the alcohol quickly began to erode their sanity, especially since they drank so heartily. In just a quarter of an hour, Yin Honglian looked a little shaky.
"Come on, let's drink this bowl of wine!" Yin Honglian said. After finishing a jar of wine, the two of them also went from drinking jars at a time to drinking bowls at a time.
Jing Ke clinked his glasses and drank it all in one gulp, using the empty bowl turned upside down to indicate that he was done.
Yin Honglian was not willing to be outdone, but when she finished the fifth bowl, she couldn't bear it anymore and her head hit the table with a very crisp thud.
"She lost." Jing Ke, also red-faced and reeking of alcohol, said, "Master Ye, please confirm the result of our competition."
Ye Wenxin glanced at the unconscious Yin Honglian and sighed helplessly, "Left Protector lost, and Lady Jing won. I bear witness to this."
"Okay, let's stop here for today and go home," Jing Ke said. He stood up seemingly sober and rational, but his eyes couldn't help but be a little distracted. After looking around twice, he finally found where his young apprentice was.
"Yuezhu, go home." Jing Ke waved to his little disciple.
"Okay, Master, let's go home." Luo Yuezhu immediately stood beside her master and wanted to reach out to support her.
But Jing Ke was one step faster. After the little apprentice came over, he stretched out his arm and hung half of his body on the little apprentice who was less than half a head shorter than him.
"Come, go back." Jing Ke repeated.
"Okay, Master." Luo Yuezhu responded, swallowing silently, and helping her master walk to the door.
-
When Jing Ke and the other three came, they rode their horses in a carefree manner.
But on the way back, Luo Yuezhu was a little troubled.
Although her master was not unconscious, she was still worried about him riding alone while he was drunk.
After a brief hesitation, Luo Yuezhu decided to ride together with her master. Her master would sit in the front and she would circle her master from behind, so that there would be no accidents.
Riding back on horseback was not difficult, but how to take care of the drunk master and let him rest was a problem.
Luo Yuezhu couldn't just let her drunken master sleep. But helping her master wash up seemed a bit too much.
Luo Yuezhu was very conflicted. After hearing Xiaomu say that the hot water was ready, she helped her master over.
"Master, the hot water is ready. Do you need me to help you wash your body?" Luo Yuezhu asked with a red face.
"Well, the hot water is ready, let's take a shower." Jing Ke said, letting his thoughts fall into chaos.
The feeling of being drunk is actually quite good. Anyway, the little apprentice is by his side. She will definitely take good care of herself and will not let herself be sold.
"Master?" Luo Yuezhu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Let's take a bath. Did the master agree or not?
"I'm here, little disciple." Jing Ke said, reached out to feel the temperature of the hot water, and began to pull his belt down.
"Master!" Luo Yuezhu's voice became a little panicked.
"I'm here, little disciple~" Jing Ke dragged out the last syllable.
Jing Ke was drunk, but not completely drunk. She knew she should take a shower, change her clothes, and then go to bed.
So Jing Ke quickly stripped herself naked and soaked the entire body below her neck in hot water.
Luo Yuezhu's face flushed red. Reason told her that she should close her eyes and leave, waiting for her master to come out after washing up.
But the emotion that had already broken through the ground made Luo Yuezhu's feet fixed in place, as if they were nailed to the ground. No matter how red her face was, she did not take a step back.
"Master?" Luo Yuezhu called out tentatively. Instead of retreating, she took a small step forward, gaining a clearer view of her master's body, submerged in the hot water.
"Yes~" Jing Ke responded, squinting his eyes and enjoying the hot bath, "Little disciple, what's wrong?"
"Master, do you need me to help you rub your back?" Luo Yuezhu said, swallowing silently, spitting on her own behavior while being unconsciously seduced.
"Okay." Jing Ke didn't think much about it and just lay down on the edge of the bathtub.
As Jing Ke moved, the water in the bathtub rippled, first revealing the smooth and white back, then the butterfly bones and the faintly visible waist dimples, which were also exposed to Luo Yuezhu's sight.
Luo Yuezhu licked the corner of her mouth nervously, rolled up her sleeves, and then took a towel to start rubbing her master's back.
Luo Yuezhu's head was in a mess, especially when her fingers touched the skin on her master's back, she couldn't help but tremble.
The back scrubbing didn't take long, but Luo Yuezhu didn't leave from beginning to end. She helped her master scrub his back, dry his body, and finally put on loose undergarments and outer robes.
Jing Ke's drunkenness actually dissipated a lot after taking a bath. After seeing his little disciple serving him attentively, he was happy to be lazy. He didn't do it himself if he could, and just enjoyed the care of his little disciple.
She had worked hard to raise her little disciple for five years, and she just wanted him to help her take a bath. It was not an excessive request.
The young apprentice has no relatives or elders, so she, as his master, is naturally the elder.
"Master, do you want me to take you back?" Luo Yuezhu asked.
"Well, I'm a little sleepy." Jing Ke did not refuse and asked with half-closed eyes.
"Master, come this way." Luo Yuezhu didn't know how many times she had swallowed. She took her master's hand in great pain and brought him back to her room.
After taking off his outer robe, Jing Ke, who was only wearing underwear, cooperated and lay flat on the bed, allowing his apprentice to help him tuck in the quilt.
"Master?" After extinguishing the candles in the room, Luo Yuezhu couldn't help but call softly.
Jing Ke actually heard it, but she didn't respond. Instead, she began to fall asleep.
Before Jing Ke could wake up from sleepiness, she found that her little disciple did not leave as she thought. Instead, he took the initiative to walk towards her and finally stopped near the edge of the bed.
Before Jing Ke opened her eyes, she felt her little disciple's falling hair gently brushing her cheek, and then her lips seemed to be gently touched.
Hmm? Hmm? Hmm!
What was going on? Why did the little disciple bend down and kiss me?
When a disciple expresses affection to his master, a kiss on the side of the cheek is enough? Why did the little disciple kiss his master directly on the lips?
Jing Ke was shocked, and her breathing became disordered. Jing Ke chose to open her eyes directly, and bumped into her little disciple's eyes full of hidden love.
"Master, Master!" Luo Yuezhu, who was already feeling guilty, was so frightened when he found that his master suddenly opened his eyes that he stepped back and fell on his butt in a mess after losing his balance.
"I'm here, little disciple." Jing Ke shook his head, getting rid of the remaining drunkenness in his head.
"You called me your master just now because you wanted to be close to me, right?" Jing Ke asked.
Luo Yuezhu just sat on the ground, looking at her master helplessly.
"It's just the disciple's closeness to the master, right?" Jing Ke asked again.
Jing Ke, who had been in love and did not lose her memory, still had some common sense. She knew that people in ancient times were very restrained when expressing intimacy.
Kissing the forehead and the side of the face can be understood as affection, but if it's mouth-to-mouth, then... something's not right.
Luo Yuezhu really wanted to say yes, and then give a reasonable explanation, turning her love for her master into so-called closeness.
But Luo Yuezhu opened her mouth tentatively, but couldn't utter a single word.
Then, when the dim moonlight met his master's gaze, Luo Yuezhu tried to muster up the courage, "Master, I, I, I, I have different feelings for you."
"Different feelings?" Jing Ke's eyelids twitched, and an idea that she had thought of before but quickly rejected popped up in her mind.
"Yes, Master, I, I love you, Master. I like you." Luo Yuezhu said, and went from sitting on the ground to kneeling on the ground.
"Master, I know I shouldn't have such thoughts, but Master, I really like you and want to be with you." Luo Yuezhu said.
Luo Yuezhu's voice gradually became louder. Perhaps it was because the alcohol had delayed taking effect, but she suddenly became very confident.
"Master, I know I was wrong, but I don't want to correct it. Can you give me a chance?" Luo Yuezhu looked up at his master who was sitting on the bed, his eyes determined.
Luo Yuezhu: "Master, what Miss Fengminglou can do for you, I can do too, and I can do it even better!"
"Master, can you give me a chance? I don't need any status, as long as you can accept me as your disciple." Luo Yuezhu asked.
"Master, please give me a chance to prove myself. My performance will definitely not be worse than those girls!" Luo Yuezhu's words were so powerful that Jing Ke was stunned.
Jing Ke could barely understand what her little disciple had said before. It was nothing more than that the little disciple confused gratitude and fondness, family affection and love, and thought that she liked him.
But what's behind all that? What does it mean that if the young lady from Fengming Tower can do something for me, I can do it too? And my disciple's performance won't be any worse than the young lady from Fengming Tower?
I don't have any contact with the girls in Fengming Tower. How can I give her a chance?
Should I give my little apprentice a chance to massage my shoulders and back and serve me tea and water?
