Chapter 20

Listening to the whispers of the people around, Zhou Qing was secretly happy.

After all, no one wanted to bear the bad name of a lecher; he still had to team up with other female disciples for trials in the future. If he carried this reputation, who would be willing to be in a group with him?

Even if they were in the wild, they would have to sleep with one eye open.

"Strange, why are they together?" Li Daoxuan, who had just come out of a private room, glanced downstairs inadvertently, full of confusion.

Today is Old Two's birthday, and the Shixiongs are celebrating here; didn't expect to see this scene.

Let me take a look at what's going on?

Soon, he saw the clues from some of Shi Zhen's behaviors and eyes.

"It seems they are not acquainted without fighting; this Zhou Shidi has become her opportunity to approach Ghost Mastiff."

Li Daoxuan shook his head and ignored it.

Little Shimei said she hadn't eaten the signature dish 【Rabbit Silk Stir-fried Spirit Celery】 of the Jade Dining Hall, so he had to hurry over and order two more portions.

After entering the private room, Zhou Qing looked around and was amazed in his heart.

Honestly, he had been in Taiqingmen for so long and rarely came here; usually, it was enough to be full at the fire kitchen, and it was more cost-effective to use spirit stones for cultivation.

"Should have called Hearing San Shixiong too!" As soon as this thought flashed through Zhou Qing's mind, he immediately felt that doing so was inappropriate.

A waiter disciple brought the menu, Zhou Qing ordered a few dishes in moderation, and Shi Zhen added some more after seeing this.

Before long, all kinds of delicious food were served.

The two chatted while eating, and sure enough, while chatting, Shi Zhen asked about Da Shixiong Ghost Mastiff's seclusion, such as whether he would come out of seclusion for this 【Five Sects Treasure Exchange Meeting】, and what his usual preferences were, etc.

Zhou Qing answered every question, but he really didn't know most of the news and could only pass it off vaguely.

Bang bang bang!

Just as the two were chatting happily, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside.

Before Shi Zhen could get up to open it, a round-faced, small-eyed head poked in impatiently.

"Oh my, Old Four, you're something; hiding from your Shixiong to eat alone here!" Yan Xiaohu said with indignation.

Zhou Qing felt a bit awkward.

Shi Zhen explained with a smile: "Yan Shidi, I invited Zhou Shidi; I originally intended to call you too, but didn't you say you had something to do and couldn't come on the way here?"

"Hehe, I finished handling my business; coming early is not as good as coming at the right time. Looking at this situation, many dishes haven't been touched yet. Just right, I'm hungry after running all this way, so I won't be polite!"

After Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he sat down on the side and began to wolf down the food with chopsticks.

Looking at Hearing San Shixiong's gluttonous appearance, Zhou Qing looked at Shi Zhen apologetically.

Shi Zhen smiled slightly, indicating it didn't matter.

After all, they were all that person's Shidi.

"Having dishes alone isn't enough; must have wine. Come, come, come, taste the treasure I hid privately; you guys are in for a treat today."

Yan Xiaohu shoveled a few mouthfuls of food, seemed to be choked, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly hammered his chest.

Then he patted his storage bag, and a jar of wine appeared on the table.

After pulling out the seal, an indescribable wine fragrance hit their faces, and Zhou Qing and Shi Zhen's eyes lit up instantly.

Yan Xiaohu even lay in front of the wine jar and took a deep breath, full of intoxication.

"Hearing San Shixiong, you're something, hurry up, hurry up!"

Zhou Qing couldn't help but lick his lips and hurriedly picked up an empty bowl and handed it over.

He had never drunk such good wine with Hearing San Shixiong before; he really hid this deep enough.

Sure enough, good dishes go with fine wine.

Yan Xiaohu immediately poured a bowl for Zhou Qing and then looked at Shi Zhen and asked: "Do you want some?"

Shi Zhen was a bit embarrassed, but the wine fragrance was too tempting, and even the spiritual power in her body had a strong desire for this wine.

"Thank you, Yan Shidi!" She also took a bowl and handed it over.

Zhou Qing looked at the wine in the bowl in surprise; the wine appeared pure snow-white, as if it were condensed from the most flawless ice and snow in winter.

He tasted a little, and the wine flowed down his throat like a cold spirit snake wandering in his body, making Zhou Qing's body shiver involuntarily, and every pore seemed to have been washed by ice and snow.

But immediately after, an extreme sense of comfort spread rapidly through his limbs and bones, and the spiritual power in his body, stimulated by this wine, surged and grew in his meridians like a awakened beast.

"Good wine!" Zhou Qing's face was flushed, and he couldn't help but shout.

Shi Zhen also nodded repeatedly; although women drank less, this was the best wine she had ever drunk in her life.

"Hiccup~~" Yan Xiaohu had already finished two bowls, then let out a long hiccup and grinned.

"That's for sure, this wine is..." Yan Xiaohu just said this much when his expression changed slightly.

Immediately after, he quickly put away the wine jar and left in a hurry.

Zhou Qing stood there, confused, and just as he was about to get up to call Hearing San Shixiong, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

"This wine is so strong!" A sense of dizziness hit him, and Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh.

However, in the next second, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, looked at the open door with disbelief, and goosebumps broke out all over his body.

"Hearing San Shixiong, there was no note above his head just now!!!"

Shi Zhen shook her head gently; she only sipped a little wine, but the aftereffect was unexpectedly strong.

"Zhou Shidi, what are you saying?" Shi Zhen asked, full of confusion.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but gulp, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Because he was teased by Er Daye again.

Looking at Shi Zhen, whose face was also slightly flushed, and then at the wine in the bowl, his heart tightened suddenly.

"Damn it, could it be that kind of drug?"

After all, he dragged him to peep at Shi Zhen Shijie bathing, and then appeared here to drink and have fun with them.

Isn't it too coincidental?

"Grandpa, oh Grandpa, saving grace is not repaid like this. If it really doesn't work, you can take the spirit stone; I don't want it anymore, okay?"

This is simply impossible to guard against!

Fortunately, he only drank a little. To avoid the two doing anything out of line, Zhou Qing prepared to leave.

But just at this moment, a quirky head poked out from the door, and then laughed.

"Zhou Shixiong, you really are here; I said why the voice next door was so familiar. I told the other Shixiongs, but they didn't believe me!"

Lu Yaoyao walked in with a look of surprise, then looked at Shi Zhen, whose face was slightly red, as if she had discovered some secret.

But when she saw Shi Zhen's jet-black hair, she was a bit confused.

"Greetings, Shi Zhen Shijie!" Lu Yaoyao still bowed politely first.

Shi Zhen stood up and said with a smile: "Didn't expect Lu Shimei to be at the Jade Dining Hall today too; come and sit together."

Before Zhou Qing could speak, he saw five big men with tall stature and bulging muscles appear at the door.

Who else could it be but those five from Shenyue Peak.

Looking at their eyes that almost wanted to swallow him alive, Zhou Qing felt a headache.

Without saying a word, he hurriedly put away his wine.

"Shi Zhen Shijie, this wine is not good, don't drink it!" Zhou Qing was quick-eyed and took the wine bowl in front of Shi Zhen away.

Shi Zhen was full of confusion,

Didn't your Shixiong pour this for us? Why can't it be drunk?

Lu Yaoyao blinked, her eyebrows raised instantly; it seemed she understood something and couldn't help but cast a meaningful, lecherous look at Zhou Qing.
