Scorpio Palace

Unexpectedly, in this life, I would meet her so early.

Gu Qingshan's mood was excellent at this moment, completely forgetting about Madam Su.

The slick-haired man with sunglasses also stood up and shook hands with Gu Qingshan.

"Hello, I'm Feng Huo De, you can call me Feng, or you can call me Huo De."

"Hello."

Gu Qingshan glanced at him.

This name seemed familiar, a bit of an impression, but it seemed he had fallen quite early, and he couldn't remember the specifics.

Forget it, never mind.

"Without further ado, let's have a drink first."

Gu Qingshan walked behind the bar, examining the liquor on display.

At this moment, his aura fully recovered, as if he had returned to the Apocalypse, becoming the carefree Great Sword Immortal, the national war commander who commanded thousands of troops.

Feng Huo De glanced at Gu Qingshan and quietly said, "He seems a bit off. Should we persuade him according to the plan, or just kidnap him?"

Anna stared at the young man opposite her, then looked at the liquor, and whispered, "Wait a moment, let's see what he wants to do."

As they spoke, Gu Qingshan had already grabbed a large handful of bottles and turned around, placing six or seven bottles on the bar with a thud.

"No, it doesn't seem enough."

He muttered, then turned around again to pick out some more liquor before stopping.

"Brother, what do you want to do?" Feng Huo De couldn't help but ask.

Gu Qingshan glanced at him, took three glasses from the bar, and said, "First time meeting in this life, let's have a drink to celebrate."

"That's not a bad idea." Anna became slightly interested.

An interest outside of work.

The World-Destroying Queen loved to drink, especially cocktails.

In the previous life, there was a bartender who won her favor with a unique "Scorpio," almost becoming her first boyfriend.

But the bartender didn't succeed either.

Because she died.

Gu Qingshan had traveled for two days and two nights to save her, but ultimately didn't make it in time, only seeing the flames of world destruction from a great distance.

She used her last strength to take away endless Demons, and also her own life.

Gu Qingshan shook his head, collected his emotions, and began to seriously mix cocktails.

Three minutes later.

A blood-colored cocktail was placed in front of Anna.

The drink looked like burning flames, but looking deeper into the boiling flames, it was all unfathomable dark abyss.

Anna looked down at the glass, then looked up at Gu Qingshan.

"Drink it." Gu Qingshan twitched the corner of his mouth, trying to curl it upwards.

"What's this drink called?" Anna picked up the glass.

Gu Qingshan looked at her and uttered a word: "Scorpio Palace."

This was a work he had improved upon after drinking "Scorpio."

It was his most satisfying work, completed with all his strength to mourn her.

"Why is it called that?"

"Scorpio has a palace, naturally guarded by stars, an immortal constellation in the sky."

"That's... a idiotic explanation."

Anna spoke with disdain, but somehow, the hardships and pains of the past years suddenly surged into her heart.

She raised her glass and drained it in one gulp.

Bitter, strong, burning.

Destruction, loneliness, sadness.

Finally, there was a hint of deep, lingering sweetness.

Closing her eyes for a moment, Anna opened them and stared blankly at Gu Qingshan.

"You, I like you," she said.

"Your Highness!" Feng Huo De shouted, standing up.

"Really? Then let's have a Bloodletter together." Gu Qingshan lowered his head, not letting her see his expression, and quickly mixed the drinks.

In a moment, two glasses were ready.

They clinked glasses and drank them down.

"You're really not bad!"

Anna laughed heartily and reached out to pat Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan knocked her hand away and said seriously, "Don't mess around, I have a Flame Hell here, do you want to drink it?"

He couldn't help but want to give her all the good wine he had mixed over the years.

Anna's eyes lit up immediately as she looked at him, and she sat up straight. "I'll drink it!"

She watched the young man mixing drinks quickly across from her and asked, "But I've never heard of the name Flame Hell?"

"It's my new wine, only made in the last few years."

The last few years of his previous life.

Gu Qingshan said, pushing a glass of ice-filled wine over.

Anna took it, lifted the glass, and looked at it. Inside was a dead, silent black.

She tilted her head back and poured the entire glass down.

"Strong enough, it seems your mood hasn't been very good lately," Anna smacked her lips and said.

Gu Qingshan smiled faintly and said nothing.

Feng Huo De, who was on the side, was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

He had originally come to investigate secrets and scout for talent for the empire, but he didn't expect that he hadn't even gotten the talent yet, but he had lost the princess.

Gu Qingshan noticed him.

"Don't worry," Gu Qingshan handed him a bottle of whiskey and said, "We're just drinking, we'll talk seriously when it's time to talk business."

Feng Huo De took the wine, his face full of helplessness. "Alas! I don't have any hope."

Anna put down her glass and looked at Gu Qingshan again carefully.

Suddenly, there was a ding.

Then there was another continuous sound.

The three of them looked over at the same time, and it was Gu Qingshan's communicator.

Gu Qingshan placed the communicator on the table and opened it.

"Federation citizen Gu Qingshan, you are now suspected of being involved in a murder case, please stay where you are and do not move, law enforcement personnel are on their way."

"Gu Qingshan, due to your involvement in a murder case and simultaneous accusations of theft by several nobles, Changning Prefecture Private Noble School hereby announces that you have been expelled."

The light on the communicator gradually faded.

Gu Qingshan sat there, motionless like a statue.

"Tsk," Anna patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged, life always has its ups and downs, come with me to the empire, I guarantee you the best treatment, no, I'll personally ennoble you as a Baron, how about it?"

Seeing that Gu Qingshan didn't speak, Anna added, "There seem to be a lot of people outside, or should I take care of them for you?"

Feng Huo De stared with wide eyes, looking at Her Highness the Princess in astonishment.

To think that someone as aloof as Her Highness the Princess would treat a man this way.

What the hell!

This kid isn't really going to run off with the Princess, is he?

Gu Qingshan suddenly smiled and said slowly, "I originally wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life."

Piercing sirens blared outside.

A burst of noisy clamor erupted.

Shouts, running footsteps, and the roar of flying shuttles gradually approached the bar.

Gu Qingshan stood up and said, "I even hoped to enter a university."

"Go to university? Study?" Anna asked in surprise.

"No, I just wanted a nice place to rest in between risking my life."

Gu Qingshan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Now it seems I was wrong. There is no place to rest in this world."

A bow appeared out of thin air in his hand, and then three quivers of arrows hung on his back.

He gripped the bow and walked towards the bar door.

With each step he took, his whole being seemed to become brighter.

By the time he stood at the bar door and pulled it open, a torrent of invisible aura filled his entire body, and wisps of pure, clear light surrounded him.

He was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
