Xiao Yan returned to the Inner Academy. By the time he arrived at Liuli's small courtyard, it was already evening.
Before he even knocked, his brows furrowed slightly. His nose twitched a few times as a thick scent of alcohol drifted out from the courtyard.
Who was drinking in there? And wasn't the aroma of this wine a little too strong?
Xiao Yan knocked on the door several times and waited for a long while, but no one answered. Yet there were clearly sounds coming from inside, which left him thoroughly puzzled.
Driven by curiosity, he no longer cared about propriety and pushed the door open directly.
The wave of alcohol fumes that hit him nearly made Xiao Yan lose his breath.
Good grief, was this a wine-brewing workshop?
He waved a hand through the air in front of him and frowned as he looked into the courtyard.
In the middle of the yard, the old square wooden table had been replaced by a round stone table. Beside it sat a cool and beautiful woman, silently watching... Liuli, who was rolling around on the ground?
Xiao Yan's head was full of question marks. Zi Yan was also in the courtyard, but she was sitting rather obediently in a rattan chair, watching the Young Girl who had once been closest to her with wary eyes.
Xiao Yan's arrival also drew their attention. Medusa glanced at him, then silently turned her head back and watched Liuli happily lose herself on the ground with a faint smile.
Zi Yan immediately jumped to her feet and ran to his side, saying fearfully, "Xiao Yan, Sister Liuli is having a drunken fit! She just grabbed me and kissed me like crazy, then said she wanted to take me home and make me her Bandit Queen..."
