Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

96: Chapter 96 He just kissed me?”I won’t give it back!” Su Xuan stuffed the Pouch into his robe (actually into his system space), putting on a shameless expression. ”Once it’s in my hands, it’s mine!”

”You scoundrel! Give it back to me!!”

Seeing Su Xuan like this, Dongfang Bai’s delicate face flushed red with anger. She immediately pounced on him, frantically searching his person.

Not only did she fail to find the item, but Su Xuan mischievously tripped her.

With Dongfang Bai’s skill, a simple trip shouldn’t have been a problem.

But Su Xuan wasn’t about to let her off so easily. While tripping her, he suddenly wrapped his arms around Dongfang Bai’s slender waist.

This caused Dongfang Bai’s delicate body to tremble. Caught off guard, she fell towards the ground along with Su Xuan.

”Thump~”

Even though Su Xuan acted as a cushion, Dongfang Bai was still left in a rather awkward position.

”You scoundrel, let me go!” Dongfang Bai pressed her jade-like hands against Su Xuan’s chest, trying to get up.

But Su Xuan’s arms held her tightly like iron bands, not loosening their grip one bit.

A strong, masculine aura washed over her, making Dongfang Bai feel both shy and furious.

Focusing her gaze, she saw Su Xuan still lying there with a silly grin on his face.

This made Dongfang Bai even angrier. Her jade hand fiercely grabbed the soft flesh at Su Xuan’s waist and twisted.

”Hiss—” Su Xuan’s expression changed instantly. He shoved Dongfang Bai away, got up from the ground, clutched his aching waist, and cursed, ”You shrew! Why do you always resort to pinching?!”

Ignoring Su Xuan’s words, Dongfang Bai got up, brushed the dirt off her clothes, and glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger. ”Give me back my thing!”

Seeing the faint redness around Dongfang Bai’s eyes, Su Xuan curled his lip. He retrieved the Pouch from his system space and tossed it to her. ”Here! Take it! Can’t even take a little joke, so petty!”

With the Pouch back in her hands, Dongfang Bai breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully put it away, sniffled a little, and said, ”I could give you anything else, but not this. It’s very important to me.”

As if afraid Su Xuan might try to snatch it again later, Dongfang Bai added, ”It’s really, really important.”

Looking at Dongfang Bai’s earnest expression, Su Xuan’s eyes shifted thoughtfully.

He recalled the Pouch again, and suddenly thinking of something, a flicker of apology passed through his eyes. He pretended to be helpless and said, ”Fine, I know. I won’t snatch it from you anymore.”

Then he plopped down on a nearby stone stool, took out the purple gold jade gourd from his system space, and began drinking alone.

Hearing Su Xuan promise not to take her Pouch, the last bit of worry in Dongfang Bai’s heart finally dissipated.

She glanced at Su Xuan drinking all by himself and felt a little guilty.

After all, Su Xuan had just been trying to tease her and make her happy.

Had she overreacted and hurt him...?

Lost in thought, Dongfang Bai, as if moved by some unseen force, sat down next to Su Xuan. Her jade hand lightly tapped the table twice.

”Tap tap~”

Su Xuan looked up, pretending to be puzzled.

Avoiding his gaze, Dongfang Bai put on a cold, aloof air. ”Hand over the wine!”

Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He passed the purple gold jade gourd to Dongfang Bai.

Taking the gourd, Dongfang Bai picked up a teacup nearby, filled it to the brim, and downed it in one go.

From initial discomfort to now drinking this fine wine in large gulps...

Dongfang Bai actually felt a sense of pleasant relief.

With a cup of wine in her belly, most of her earlier shame and anger dissipated. She asked casually, ”It’s so late, why aren’t you resting? Won’t Sister Lin be angry with you?”

After spending so much time together, how could Dongfang Bai not know about the other layer of the relationship between Su Xuan and her Sister Lin?!

Although it felt a bit awkward, there was nothing she could do about it.

As Lin Chaoying put it, ’If you like each other, then be together. Why worry so much?’

Su Xuan stretched lazily. ”Master went to talk with Mother about something. I was bored being alone, so I came out to chat with Sister Xiao Bai.”

”What do we have to chat about?” Dongfang Bai rolled her beautiful eyes and poured herself another cup of wine.

”Hehe, isn’t Sister Xiao Bai the one who likes chatting with me the most?~”

”Nonsense! Only a ghost would enjoy chatting with a scoundrel like you!”

”See, being mischievous again!” Su Xuan propped his chin on one hand, leaning on the table. He picked up a strand of Dongfang Bai’s hair and played with it, saying,

”If Sister Xiao Bai doesn’t like chatting with this scoundrel, why do you pull me to drink every day, saying I can’t leave until we finish?”

”It was clearly you...” Seeing Su Xuan fabricating stories right in front of her, Dongfang Bai was so angry her chest heaved up and down, quite a captivating sight.

Noticing Su Xuan’s gaze, a subtle blush flashed across Dongfang Bai’s delicate face. She stood up, wanting to leave.

She couldn’t stay with this scoundrel any longer!

Not only was his behavior improper, but his mouth was also unreliable.

Sister Lin had already been misunderstanding things these past few days. How could she do something that would let Sister Lin down?

Thinking this, Dongfang Bai took a step to leave.

But before she could even take half a step, her fair, tender wrist was caught by Su Xuan.

Dongfang Bai tried to break free but couldn’t. She could only bite her lip and complain, ”What are you doing?”

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Xuan filled the table with wine jars. ”Finish all these. You’re not leaving until they’re empty!”

”This much?” Looking at the table packed with wine bottles, Dongfang Bai’s mouth opened slightly in surprise.

A rough estimate... there must be dozens of bottles!

This many... could she possibly finish them?

Su Xuan pulled Dongfang Bai back onto the stool. ”Don’t worry, I’ll drink with you.”

The corner of Dongfang Bai’s mouth twitched slightly. *It’s precisely because you’re here that I dare not drink!~*

Usually, when drinking during the day, this scoundrel liked to get handsy with her. At night, with no one around, wouldn’t it be even worse?

Looking at Su Xuan’s expression, Dongfang Bai knew she wouldn’t be able to leave today without drinking this wine.

There was no choice. She couldn’t beat him in a fight, and she couldn’t win in an argument. She could only drink.

But she had to finish quickly and leave as soon as possible. She couldn’t let this bad guy take advantage of her again.

”Sister Xiao Bai, are you planning to move against the Five Great Sword Sects?” Su Xuan had overheard the conversation between Dongfang Bai and Blue Phoenix earlier and took the chance to ask.

”Those trivial matters don’t require my attention.” Dongfang Bai took a sip of wine. ”My next target is Shaolin.”

”Shaolin?”

”Yes. Actually, the mastermind behind the opposition to my Sun Moon Holy Cult has always been Shaolin. Did you really think those useless Five Great Sword Sects would dare oppose Sister me on their own?!”

”Shaolin won’t be easy to deal with...”

The saying ’All martial arts under heaven originate from Shaolin’ wasn’t for nothing. Although Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng were dead, the Shaolin Temple’s deep-rooted strength still couldn’t be underestimated.

Dongfang Bai raised her lovely eyebrows. ”It won’t be easy, so... don’t you want to help your sister?~”

”Haha, why so formal?~ Sister Xiao Bai’s matters are my matters too.~” Su Xuan smiled, his mind working.

If Sister Xiao Bai was attacking Shaolin Temple, he could wade into the muddy waters as well.

Shaolin Temple had deep reserves. There were surely plenty of Spirit Pills, secret manuals, and martial arts techniques.

With his skills, even if he couldn’t destroy Shaolin, he could still make a huge profit.

”But... if you want my help, you’ll have to give some reward.”

”How about everything seized from Shaolin Temple goes to you?”

”I can seize those things myself. That’s not what I want!”

”Then what do you want?”

”I want to kiss you...”

”What... Mmm...”

Before Dongfang Bai could react, Su Xuan had already pressed his lips against hers.

A brief touch, then separation. By the time Dongfang Bai regained her senses, Su Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

Dongfang Bai stood there dumbfounded. ”Did he just kiss me?”
