In the evening, inside Shrek City, in a tavern.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the main road, this pub located deep in a secluded alley seems particularly peaceful.
Inside the tavern, there were no noisy fistfights and various high-pitched talks like ordinary taverns. Instead, there were only some dim lights reflected by Soul Tool Lamp, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine and a light smell of tobacco.
Most of the guests here are drinking alone, or only a few friends are chatting in low voices, and the atmosphere is quiet.
And at the very back of the tavern, in an inconspicuous corner booth, Zhang Lexuan was leaning on the sofa alone,
She seemed to have been here for a long time. There were several empty wine bottles scattered on the table in front of her. She had obviously drank a lot.
She wore a well-cut dark dress, which outlined her tall and proud figure with undulating curves.
A Dual Cultivation long legs are wrapped in smooth Black Stockings and overlapped randomly, glowing hazy under the slightly dim light in the booth,
She raised her head slightly and leaned on the back cushion of the sofa. Her cheeks were abnormally red, her eyes were blurred and she was slightly absent-minded.
At this moment, her eyes seemed to have lost their former clarity and sharpness as Senior Disciple Sister of the Inner Academy, leaving only the softness and looseness after being soaked in alcohol.
A few strands of green silk stuck to her slightly damp forehead, and her neckline was slightly open due to the heat of the wine, revealing her fair neck and delicate collarbones. The whole person exuded the kind of fatal attraction that is mixed with decadence and temptation when a mature woman takes off all her guard.
At a certain moment, the unnoticed shadow twisted slightly, and a figure quietly appeared beside her,
It's Kong Ming'an.
He looked at the empty wine bottles scattered on the table and Zhang Lexuan, who was still unconsciously shaking the amber wine in the glass, and felt a little silent for a moment.
Unless it is some drinks with special ingredients, under normal circumstances, most drinks will not have much effect on Soul Master.
It only takes a little movement of Soul Power to dispel the effect of alcohol, and the way Zhang Lexuan looks now, it is clear that she wants to get drunk.
As if aware of his arrival, Zhang Lexuan's hazy eyes slowly focused on him,
Then, she opened her mouth with a somewhat erratic smile, with a strong smell of alcohol, and her tone showed a bit of expected certainty:
"You are indeed here."
". You are drunk." Kong Ming'an reminded,
"I'm not drunk"
Zhang Lexuan propped himself up slightly and shook his head vigorously, trying to appear awake. However, his body swayed slightly and he almost lost his balance.
Drunk people say they are not drunk,
Kong Ming'an couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he didn't sit idly by. He stepped forward slightly and sat beside Zhang Lexuan, holding her shaky body slightly.
But Zhang Lexuan turned his head, glanced at him, and then pushed the glass with more than half of the wine left in his hand in front of him, with a hint of provocation in his eyes:
"Drink?"
Kong Ming'an raised his eyebrows,
"What?" Zhang Lexuan chuckled, his drunken voice a little hoarse, "You can't drink?"
"I'm an adult."
Kong Ming'an replied, knowing that you can't talk logic to a drunk person, it's better to go along with it, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
With calm eyes, he reached out and took the glass of wine,
The wine glass tilted slightly, and the wine poured in. He took a sip, and the spicy and sweet liquid slid down his throat, and then he put down the glass.
In his last life, he often helped those junior brothers and sisters who were able to cause trouble but not handle it to stop drinking. His drinking capacity was acceptable.
But in this life, he is busy with many things, and with his identity, there is no problem of socializing, so today is the first time in this life.
Zhang Lexuan on the side looked straight at Kong Ming'an, following his movements, from his lips slightly sipping the drink, to his Adam's apple, and finally to the casually open gap between his collar.
Her eyes flickered slightly, but were soon submerged by deeper darkness.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke, her voice was very soft, but with an inexplicable stubbornness:
"Did you arrange all of this?"
Kong Ming'an shook his head and said calmly:
"No, I only left a mark on you after the last game.
"If your life is threatened, this mark will be triggered, allowing me to sense and locate your location, and finally take action.
"I didn't know about your attack this time in advance, but if you said that Du Busi would appear later, it was indeed my arrangement."
This is true.
His strategy for Zhang Lexuan is more about following the trend, similar to arranging a free chess game. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, there is definitely no problem in arranging it first.
What's more, he has too many important things at hand, and it is impossible for him to focus too much energy on one person.
Zhang Lexuan stared at his eyes seriously for a few seconds, as if judging the authenticity of his words. Then, she pursed her lips and slowly lowered her eyes.
The drunkenness mixed with the despair, grief, anger and disillusionment that had accumulated over the past few days washed away her last defense like a flood that broke a dam.
She is completely desperate for Shrek,
She didn't understand why the Shrek in her heart, which symbolized light, justice and warmth, was so filthy inside?
What is the so-called Judgment that she has persisted in and sacrificed even at the cost of infamy? What is its meaning?
Ever since her family was wiped out and she was left alone, she has been like a drowning person. The beautiful imagination and sense of belonging she had for Shrek in her heart was the only life-saving rope she could rely on to survive.
But now, this rope is breaking apart in front of her eyes,
She drowned again.
The faith she held on to in her heart completely collapsed, leaving behind a huge and cold hole, bringing an indescribable suffocation that made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She needs to fill this hole, and she needs a new, solid rope that can hold her firmly, or bind her tightly, so that she will not be easily abandoned again.
Zhang Lexuan lowered his eyes and clutched the cold wine glass tightly, his fingertips turning white from the exertion.
At one moment, she turned around sharply, her black eyes staring straight at Kong Ming'an, and then the next moment.
She leaned towards him,
Her plump body, which was soft and smelled of wine and body fragrance, leaned against him, and her hands firmly grasped the clothes on the boy's chest, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving rope.
Kong Ming'an can clearly feel the softness and warmth of the body in his arms, as well as the slight, imperceptible trembling.
His eyes changed slightly, and he lowered his eyes.
I saw Zhang Lexuan raising his face, his drunken and hazy eyes filled with temptation and a somewhat imperceptible but uncontrollable desire, and his voice trembled slightly:
"You want me, right?"
