Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 68 From this day forward, I will abstain from alcohol!

"It's not like I'm going to swallow you whole." Xu Jiujiu rolled her eyes, took out the box containing the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife from the starlight sapphire ring on her finger, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Ye Qing.

Ye Qing shrugged, took out a few gold cards and placed them on the table, then picked up the box.

"The Soul-Devouring Carving Blade is extremely ferocious. If placed directly in a soul tool, it will gradually damage the internal space of the soul tool, causing it to break. Therefore, I'm giving you this box that can isolate your aura along with it," Xu Jiujiu said, his tone carrying a hint of caution.

"I don't know why you bought this carving knife, but please be careful because it's really dangerous. I don't want to see my only friend get into an accident because of this carving knife."

It's clear that Xu Jiujiu has truly begun to consider Ye Qing a friend. This box alone is quite expensive; something that can isolate the evil energy of the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is no cheap knock-off.

This thing wasn't originally included with Huo Yuhao during the auction, and it even caused the soul tool that Wang Yan used to store it to break.

Her tone when she gave Ye Qing instructions was full of concern.

Even though this was only their second meeting, and even including their meeting at the auction, it was only their third, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but take a liking to him.

(Darkness of the Abyss: Without me, this family will fall apart)

Of course, Ye Qing would not refuse her kindness. No matter how powerful the Dark Abyss was, it would still take a two-way approach to make Xu Jiujiu devoted to him. Only by combining superb language skills with the effect of this talent could the greatest effect be achieved.

"Thanks for the reminder, but don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ye Qing said with a smile.

……

at night.

On the top floor of the Starry Hotel, Ye Qing and Xu Jiujiu sat by the bar, looking down at the myriad lights of Star Luo City, slowly savoring the fine wine in their glasses.

After the auction ended, it was only a little past 8 p.m. Ye Qing and Xu Jiujiu chatted for a while at the Starlight Auction House. Suddenly, Xu Jiujiu had a bright idea and dragged him to the Starry Hotel for drinks.

"Ye Xuan, do you know, my elder brother usually doesn't let me drink." Xu Jiujiu's deep blue eyes were slightly hazy, and a charming blush appeared on her fair face. "He always says I'm still young and won't let me drink, but how am I young..."

Ye Qing paused involuntarily while drinking, and subconsciously glanced at Xu Jiujiu's chest.

Hmm...it is indeed quite large...

"Ahem, your brother is only doing this for your own good. Fine wine is good, but don't overindulge. Alcohol is a poison that can easily numb a person's mind and cause them to make wrong judgments." Ye Qing looked away and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

"To be honest, I don't really like alcohol. I prefer to stay sober rather than feel dizzy after drinking."

"But this feeling is really quite nice." Xu Jiujiu looked at the wine glass in front of him, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

The two of them chatted idly, one sentence after another, as bottles of expensive liquor were opened and glasses of wine rolled down Ye Qing and Xu Jiujiu's throats.

After an unknown amount of time, the bar in front of the two was filled with bottles of liquor.

Both of them are Soul Masters. Xu Jiujiu is a Soul Grandmaster. Although Ye Qing did not obtain a fourth Soul Ring, his overall physical strength was much higher than Xu Jiujiu's. No matter how much alcohol he drank, it would not harm their bodies.

By circulating your soul power throughout your body a few times, you can evaporate most of the alcohol.

It must be said that, under the influence of alcohol, Xu Jiujiu's psychological defenses were further lowered. Coupled with the effects of alcohol and the beautiful night, the two got closer and closer as they kept clinking glasses. In the end, Xu Jiujiu even put her arm around Ye Qing's shoulder while drinking.

This caused Nebula Douluo Manyi, who was secretly observing, to almost jump out and separate the two of them several times.

But in the end, it didn't happen.

It wasn't until Xu Jiujiu suddenly vomited up the wine he had just drunk, covering Ye Qing in his vomit, and then fell asleep on his chest that Manyi emerged from somewhere with a grim expression.

She wanted to say something very suggestive, but as a guardian, she was certain that if she interfered with Xu Jiujiu's affairs, Xu Jiujiu would be very unhappy with her, as she had never seen her so happy before.

Ye Qing hugged Xu Jiujiu, who was covered in a mess but had a smile on his face, and looked helplessly at Manyi.

Grapes and fine wine in a luminous cup, the shrimp-headed fairy flies first.

He almost dropped Xu Jiujiu from his arms.

For a normal person, no matter how beautiful a woman is, if she throws up all over you, you won't feel good. The smell of digestive juices and alcohol mixed together is indescribable, making Ye Qing's stomach churn.

Of course, this applies to normal people; for abnormal people, this is actually a reward.

Ye Qing was not worthy of such a reward. He only hoped that Manyi would quickly drag the princess, who was drunk like a dead pig, away and then go back to her room to take a shower.

"You... give the princess to me." Manyi opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She just reached out and hugged Xu Jiujiu into her arms.

"Then I'll leave Jiu Jiu in your care." Ye Qing handed Xu Jiu Jiu to Manyi's arms, wiped the vomit off her face and neck with a tissue, and nodded to Manyi.

Manyi held Ye Qing tightly for a long time, then looked at him deeply before turning and flying towards the palace.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Manyi felt she needed to report this young man to Xu Jiawei.

As Xu Jiujiu grows up, it's normal for a woman to want to find a partner. However, Manyi wants to ensure that Xu Jiujiu won't misjudge someone and entrust herself to the wrong person. As her guardian, she not only has to protect Xu Jiujiu's safety but also ensure that she won't be deceived.

And reporting this to Xu Jiawei would be the most appropriate thing to do.

Ye Qing watched Manyi leave, and the next second he bent down and vomited into a trash can.

"Damn, this smell is really strong." Ye Qing grimaced and smiled bitterly. After tidying himself up a bit, he staggered downstairs and returned to his room.

"Since things have come to this, let's take a shower first."

……

The next day, Ye Qing was woken up by the doorbell.

"Who is it?" Ye Qing rubbed her eyes, got up and walked to the door.

Because he drank quite a lot last night, even though he used his soul power to evaporate the alcohol, he still had a hangover this morning. Although he didn't have a splitting headache, he was a little dizzy.

"Wine and women have made me so haggard. From today onwards, I will abstain from alcohol!" Ye Qing muttered as he opened the door to his room.

What catches the eye is Xu Jiujiu's pretty face with its charming smile, and her bright, clear eyes.

Good morning!
