Chapter 1388: Glory

"Yes, returning to the battlefield; a soldier's glory is earned on the battlefield, so I must go back. Even if I die, I cannot die of old age; I can only die in battle." Ping'er raised her head, her gaze like a torch as she looked at Chen Yu.

"That's fine, but Dragon Breath is different from the battlefield." Chen Yu paused and said, "The dangers on the battlefield are visible everywhere, while the dangers of Dragon Breath... come to your side unknowingly and inexplicably."

"So what?" Ping'er smiled slightly. "To me, there is no difference."

Chen Yu nodded. "That's good. If there is a mission, I will take you with me."

"Thank you." Ping'er revealed a hint of a joyful smile.

"Let's go, let's go out for a stroll." Chen Yu said, "Since you want to join Dragon Breath, you must first adapt to the life of Dragon Breath."

"Alright, where are you taking me?" Ping'er revealed a look of curiosity.

"You'll know when we get there." Chen Yu smiled faintly.

A bar; this was an extremely hidden bar, very small, and the decor style was extremely dilapidated; it was basically not open to the public.

The style inside had a very vintage feel; here, you could even see black-and-white televisions from the eighties or nineties.

At this hour, no one had entered the bar yet; Chen Yu and Ping'er counted as the first batch of people.

The bar waiter looked at Chen Yu with an indifferent expression, then lowered their head to continue wiping the glass in their hand.

Ping'er looked at everything before her with some surprise; she was still quite curious about this kind of place with a vintage feel, and everything before her also displayed something out of the ordinary.

The two found a table and sat down, and Chen Yu ordered two beers.

"Why did you bring me here?" Ping'er looked at Chen Yu, puzzled.

"There are many bars like this all over the country, with almost identical decor and style, and ordinary people cannot find this place." Chen Yu pushed a beer toward her and said, "As for why I brought you here, you will know soon."

"I don't drink." Ping'er shook her head, refusing Chen Yu's beer. She truly did not drink, because she felt that alcohol could dissipate a person's willpower.

Moreover, it would make her lose focus, especially for someone who had been through many battles; alcohol was definitely not a good thing.

"Actually, sometimes, drinking a little to relax is not a bad thing." Chen Yu saw she wouldn't drink and didn't force her. He picked up the glass of wine in front of him and said leisurely, "Especially you; your mental pressure is too great. If you drink a little appropriately, it might change your situation."

Ping'er paused slightly, then she nodded. She picked up the glass of wine in front of her and drank a little, putting it to her lips.

"How does it taste?" Chen Yu looked at her.

"I can't say; it's strange. This is my first time drinking." Ping'er paused, then smiled slightly. "Perhaps I'll get used to it after drinking it a few more times."

"It's just beer; if it were hard liquor, it would be different." Chen Yu said. The two chatted as they talked, and soon, the two beers were drunk clean.

Looking at the time, it was six o'clock in the afternoon. Places like bars were always only lively at night, so it was not yet time for the bustle.

"What exactly is this place for?" As the sky grew darker, Ping'er also became a bit restless.

She looked at everything before her, her spirit slowly tightening.

As for why she had this feeling, she herself couldn't say; she just felt that this place was strange.

"A very peculiar place; the bar's name is Nightingale." Chen Yu said, "Only at night will this place reveal its true side."

"Can't you just tell me the reason?" Ping'er couldn't help but glare at Chen Yu. She felt that this place was unusual, but she couldn't say exactly where it was unusual; she just felt her spirit was inexplicably tense.

"I cannot tell you. The things that people in Dragon Breath encounter change in an instant." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "So I cannot tell you about everything before you; you have to realize it yourself."

Ping'er was helpless and had to wait quietly. The more she waited, the more confused she became. What exactly was Chen Yu selling in his Gourd?

As time grew later, there were more and more people. Just at this moment, a man walked to Chen Yu and Ping'er's table.

He sat down, lit a cigar, blew a smoke ring, and then sized up Chen Yu and Ping'er.

"Excuse me, this seat is taken." Ping'er's brows furrowed slightly; this man was truly too impolite.

"I'll say a few words and leave immediately." The man smiled faintly. "Let me introduce myself; I am the owner of the bar. You can call me Lao Qiao."

"I've long heard of your name." Chen Yu looked at Lao Qiao.

Ping'er's gaze, however, was somewhat strange; she felt a kind of indescribable aura on Lao Qiao, but she couldn't quite grasp where this aura came from.

"Hehe, first time here? How did you find this place?" Lao Qiao looked at Chen Yu with great interest.

Intuition told him that the Chen Yu before him was no ordinary person.

"Just wandering around with a friend when I had nothing to do, and I arrived here inexplicably. You wouldn't be unwelcoming, would you?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Of course you are welcome, but we have a special situation here, which is that we do not host people after ten o'clock at night." Lao Qiao checked the time. "It's almost eight o'clock now. You are here for the first time, so I need to tell you."

"Don't bars always operate at night? After ten o'clock is the main event; why don't you serve people after ten?" Ping'er's brows furrowed slightly; everything before her made her feel increasingly curious.

"No comment, but you should still remember what I said. It is best to leave before ten o'clock at night, otherwise, some inexplicable things will happen." Lao Qiao said.

"Inexplicable things, what kind of things are you referring to?" Chen Yu asked.

"Hehe, things that are difficult to explain with common sense." Lao Qiao said, "Everyone here, including the waiters, must leave before ten o'clock at night. By then, a different batch of waiters will come in to serve the guests."

"The people who come in after ten o'clock are not people you can understand, so... I suggest you listen to me."

"By the sound of it, the people who come after ten are not human?" Ping'er blurted out her thoughts.

"If you don't leave, you will naturally know when the time comes." Lao Qiao paused and said, "Of course, this is just my advice to you. If you listen to me and leave, I will treat you to today's drinks."
