Looking at the slightly disappointed expression on Abi's face, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "What, do you feel like they're playing favorites?"
Abi raised her eyebrows playfully and smiled, "A little, I gave them money hoping my parents could live better, but they have their sights set on my brother. However, it's no big deal; at least in their house in the mountains, they left a room for and told to co back more often when I have ti, but I don't really like it there."
Having shared a drink with Abi, Shen Qiang laughed, "Well, you're all grown up now, with wings strong enough to fly wherever you please, so where would you like to go?"
"Provincial City!" Abi smiled sweetly, "Heshenghe Mountain Villa, I want to go with my senior sister to see the legendary demon holy land."
Shen Qiang burst out laughing, "Coming to my place? Sure, anyti you want to visit, the door is always open for you."
The lively and charming Abi, with her beautiful eyes and a slight blush on her cheeks, seed enchanting, whether it was due to the alcohol or shyness. Her slightly tanned skin only added to her healthy beauty.
"Alright, but make sure to keep your word, don't tell us it's inconvenient or that you're busy when we arrive."
Looking at the slightly stubborn Abi, Shen Qiang laughed, "I promise, on my honor."
Abi laughed, then suddenly, a bit shyly, said, "Um... I've actually known you for a long ti, even before you opened Heshenghe."
Shen Qiang was stunned, surprised, and asked, "Really?"
Abi chuckled, then said, "Back then, I thought you were rough and uncultured, but I don't feel that way anymore because you seem way more reliable than Senior Brother Zong Zijin."
Shen Qiang laughed and poured another glass for Abi and himself, then said, "Alright, I'll take that as a complint. I must admit, although your audit grades have always been poor, you have a great figure. It would be a waste not to be a model."
Hearing this, Abi's eyes flashed with pride as she laughed gracefully and said, "You're lying, if my figure was that great, why didn't I notice you staring?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "If I stared at your figure, you'd probably escort to the police, so I usually sneak glances. You know, out the corner of my eye, in the mirror, reflections on walls and glass windows."
"Shiny floor tiles." Abi added with playful charm.
Shen Qiang felt instantly awkward, then laughed, "No, I appreciate beauty, but I don't sneak peeks using floor reflections."
Abi laughed until her eyes curved into crescent moons, "Okay, I trust that you're a gentleman, so let's not waste energy on those things. Here, this glass is to you—wait, I ant to celebrate you acquiring the sacred Soul Summoning Grass."
Shen Qiang drank it all in one go.
"This glass is to congratulate you on getting the Hundred Ganoderma Vine."
Shen Qiang drank it all in one go.
"And this glass is to celebrate you acquiring Senior Sister's Immortal Three-step Fall."
Shen Qiang smiled and drank with Abi, and then expressed his appreciation to her as well.
After all, it was just ordinary red wine.
Not to ntion Shen Qiang, a practitioner like Abi, whose cultivation was above the Nascent Soul Stage.
Even those who haven't established a foundation, who only use True Qi at the primary level, wouldn't be easily overpowered by such commonplace alcohol, as with the flow of True Qi, the wine could be expelled directly from their bodies. So, the idea of getting a cultivator drunk with ordinary wine is absolutely impossible.
The two ate, chatted leisurely, and waited for Qin Yurou to return.
After all, the charming Abi, with her excellent figure and pretty looks, wouldn't look too bad next to Qin Yurou. Without her comparison, Abi is rather delicate and bright-eyed, with rosy lips and a lively figure. On a scale of ten, she'd easily score an eight, making chatting, drinking, and joking around quite enjoyable.
But after waiting for a long ti, Qin Yurou called to say there was so trouble, telling Shen Qiang and Abi not to wait for her. She would contact them as soon as she dealt with everything.
In such circumstances.
Having almost finished their al and drink, the two naturally settled their bill to leave.
Looking at the tall and handso Shen Qiang beside him, Abi's cheek unknowingly flushed red. The mont they stepped out, she spotted a 24-hour inn across from the restaurant called Maple Grove Later The.
Her heart instantly started racing uncontrollably, and she felt an unexplainable nervousness, her long slender hands sweating inexplicably.
She felt so tense, nearly unable to breathe, that she didn't even notice the steps outside the restaurant door despite being a cultivator. With a squeal, she stepped into thin air and was caught by the surprised Shen Qiang beside her.
"Are you okay?" Shen Qiang asked, slightly astonished.
Abi's face flushed imdiately, avoiding Shen Qiang's gaze, her voice so tiny it was barely audible. Feeling her heart leaping to her throat, she softly said,
"I'm a bit dizzy, like I've drunk too much, feeling a little tired."
Is Shen Qiang smart or what?
Upon hearing this, his eyes imdiately brightened.
Because Shen Qiang understood, when a woman suddenly says she's tired, it usually ans one of two things: either she's fed up, wants to leave, or she's hinting at going to a room.
And being a cultivator, Abi's level, even if not as high as Shen Qiang or Qin Yurou, is at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Two glasses of red wine and she's drunk? A walk through the flower market and a al made her tired?
Who would buy that?
So Shen Qiang laughed softly and said, "Oh, there happens to be an inn across the street, why don't we rest a bit there and leave after you sober up?"
Hearing this, Abi's eyes instantly turned shy, but she was overjoyed and agreed.
At Maple Grove Later, Shen Qiang booked the most expensive room.
Then led Abi upstairs.
The room was nice, not luxurious, with average materials, but clean enough with a bathroom too.
After entering the room, Abi blushed shyly, sowhat at a loss, and only said, "You sit first, I'll take a shower."
Then Abi went into the bathroom.
Listening to the sounds of running water from the bathroom, Shen Qiang's expression was a bit complicated. In fact, Shen Qiang didn't pay much attention to Abi; her figure was indeed nice, but words like gentle don't describe her; she belongs to the type who loves and hates freely.
Shen Qiang did have a fondness for her, but compared to that, he had even more feelings for the campus belle Qin Yurou. So, after a mont of hesitation and feeling a bit unsettled, Shen Qiang stood up, preparing to leave.
But just as Shen Qiang was about to open the door and leave,
Abi suddenly hugged him from behind, wearing a towel and with a shapely figure. Then she leaned her head against Shen Qiang's back and softly said, "Shen Qiang, I know you might like Senior Sister more, but I really like you. I know the world is big, and I am small.
"I don't have Senior Sister's wisdom, nor her beauty, or her family background, but I really like you! So I beg you, don't go!"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang turned around, looked helplessly at towel-clad Abi, and remained silent until her hopeful gaze gradually turned to disappointnt and then despair, at which point Shen Qiang picked her up, saying calmly, "Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will? Since you want to be together, then let's be together!"
