Chapter 7: A Gentleman
Chapter 7: A Gentleman
Upon seeing the wine jar that Qian Jin handed over, Hong Lingbo hesitated.
Having followed her master Li Mochou since childhood, she rarely had contact with men. Now, being asked to share a jar of wine with Qian Jin, she couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Even if people from the martial arts world are not bound by formalities, there is still a difference between men and women. The two of them have only known each other for two days. How can they share a wine jar to drink from!
However, this young man, Qian, was clearly a generous person. He not only shared his chicken leg with her but also taught her how to roast chicken free of charge.
If she were to act so affectedly, wouldn't she be letting down the other party's good intentions?
"Miss Hong, is it perhaps that you are unwilling to share fine wine with me?"
Hearing Qian Jin's urging, Hong Lingbo gritted her teeth and immediately took the wine jar.
Young Master Qian treats her with such sincerity, how could she possibly spoil his mood because of her momentary shyness!
Besides, it was just drinking; it wasn't like she was being asked to do anything out of line.
Thinking of this, Hong Lingbo immediately tilted his head back and, imitating Qian Jin, gulped down a large mouthful of wine.
After drinking the wine, Hong Lingbo's complexion gradually became rosy.
I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or because I felt shy about sharing a jar of wine with Qian Jin.
"Haha, Miss Hong is indeed a heroine among women, with an impressive capacity for alcohol!"
Qian Jin gave a compliment, and then he and Hong Lingbo ate chicken and drank wine heartily, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
After downing half a jar of wine, Hong Lingbo was already somewhat drunk and said:
"Young Master Qian, is the chicken I roasted really that good? You're not just saying it's delicious to comfort me, are you?"
"Of course it's delicious! If you don't believe me, try it yourself!"
Qian Jin smiled slightly and handed the chicken leg in his hand to Hong Lingbo.
Hong Lingbo was already a little drunk, and since the two of them had already shared a jar of wine, why should they care about sharing a chicken leg?
Without thinking, he took the chicken leg and bit into it.
"Hmm, it really does taste the same."
"Haha, I knew it! The reason my roast chicken tastes so good is all thanks to the spices I've prepared."
There aren't many requirements regarding the cooking temperature.
Moreover, I feel that Miss Hong's control over the heat is far superior to mine.
"Hehe, young hero, please stop praising me. You keep praising me, and I'm starting to feel a little flattered."
Hong Lingbo's face grew increasingly rosy, and her eyes gradually became unfocused.
After the two finished eating the roast chicken and drinking the wine, Hong Lingbo was already drunk and passed out on Qian Jin, looking completely out of it.
Qian Jin called out a few times, but the other person still showed no signs of waking up.
This put Qian Jin in a bit of a predicament.
Because he had never asked where she lived, and now that she was so drunk, he couldn't just leave her alone in this desolate place!
Are we going to take her back to Hundred Flowers Valley?
"Young hero, drink some more! I'm not drunk yet."
Hong Lingbo said something with her eyes closed, then reached out but couldn't find a wine jar around her, and started to snuggle into Qian Jin's arms.
"Hey, Miss Hong, wake up! Even if you want to sleep, at least tell me where you're staying first!"
Qian Jin continued calling for a long time, but Hong Lingbo still did not respond.
He just had a smile on his lips, as if he were having a beautiful dream.
There's no other way; it seems we can only take her back to Hundred Flowers Valley first and then make further plans.
Thinking of this, Qian Jin got up and picked up Hong Lingbo.
Although Hong Lingbo had practiced martial arts since childhood, when Qian Jin held her in his arms, he felt that she was soft and boneless.
Coupled with the girl's unique aura, Qian Jin's heart fluttered, and he almost kissed her.
However, this thought only flashed through Qian Jin's mind.
What a joke! Qian Jin is a gentleman. Even if he were to kiss someone, he would do it openly and honestly when the other person is sober.
……
Upon returning to Hundred Flowers Valley, the Old Rascal immediately rushed out.
Seeing that Qian Jin was actually holding a Taoist nun in his arms, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Little Qianzi, what's wrong with you? You were only gone for a short while, and you still managed to trick a young girl into coming back."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin glared and said:
What is a lie?
This girl had drunk too much and had nowhere to go, so I had no choice but to bring her back.
"Do you think I wanted this? There are only two rooms in this Hundred Flowers Valley. If I bring her back, I won't even have a place to sleep."
The old rascal chuckled upon hearing this and said:
"Hehe, well, I can't help you with that. There's no way I'm giving it to you. You'll have to figure out where you'll sleep tonight!"
"No way, Master? I'm your disciple! How can you bear to let me sleep on the streets?"
"I don't care, who gave you permission to bring a woman back?"
The old rascal replied, then quickly ran back to his room and never came out again.
"..."
Qian Jin looked helpless.
The Old Rascal's master, aside from his high level of martial arts skills, is really unreliable in everything else.
After carrying Hong Lingbo back to his room and onto his bed, Qian Jin felt a bit overwhelmed.
If he had known the other person was so bad at drinking, he would have preferred to drink himself.
Now look what's happened! How is he going to get through this long night?
Qian Jin stood by the bed for a while, and the more he looked at Hong Lingbo, the more he felt that she was actually quite beautiful, especially with her rosy cheeks, which made her even more alluring.
No, I can't watch anymore, I should go practice my skills!
Fortunately, Qian Jin's practice was simply about accumulating proficiency, so there was no risk of him going astray.
Although he was somewhat distracted at first, Qian Jin's mind gradually calmed down after circulating the Nine Yin Manual for several cycles.
Before we knew it, it was late at night.
Hong Lingbo gradually woke up from her dream and opened her eyes to find herself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
this!!!
Hong Lingbo jumped out of bed in a flash. Looking down, she saw that her clothes were still intact and the mark on her right arm was still there. She breathed a sigh of relief.
I was careless. Yesterday I actually got so drunk in front of Young Master Qian that I passed out. It was so embarrassing.
Under the moonlight, she saw Qian Jin sitting cross-legged not far away, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.
She was completely drunk yesterday, so it must have been this young master Qian who brought her back.
So this should be Qian Shaoxia's residence.
She's now occupying Young Master Qian's bed, leaving him to rest on the floor.
She remembered her master always telling her that most men in the world were fickle and lustful, but this young hero Qian was completely different from all the men her master spoke of.
He was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also a virtuous gentleman. Even when he was drunk, he never took advantage of others.
Hong Lingbo quietly looked at Qian Jin, and felt that Qian Jin under the moonlight was more and more handsome, and she was unconsciously a little infatuated.
