178.1 – Drunk
*
Midnight.
Chang’an’s inner city’s gate suddenly opened, and a horse rushed out and sped towards the Northern Guard Fort’s garrison north of Chang’an.
No one knows what the contents of the order the orderly riding the horse is carrying are.
— not even Gong Jing, the master of the Northern Guard Fort, knows.
Not long after the horse entered the Northern Guard Forth’s garrison, a large number of troops disappeared silently from the garrison.
No one knows where they are going.

She feels a pressure around her waist, like someone is hugging her.
A jasmine-like fragrance filled her nose, and a satin-like sensation transmitted from her face.
Xue Qilin, whose mind is hazy, couldn’t help but rub against the thing several times. She doesn’t know what she is holding, resting on. She only knows that the thing’s texture is rather pleasant and comfortable. She just wants more of it.
It’s so warm and smells so nice —
In any case, the lass is in a great mood. It is a great pleasure to sleep with something like this.
She licked the thing involuntarily.
There is no flavor, only a nice texture.
Is it food? In her half-asleep state, this thought faintly surfaced in her mind, and the lass bit at the thing probingly.
The thing is very elastic. It’s resilience is greater than her biting force, so the lass used more force.
As a result, she heard a voice.
“Um… don’t bite… ouch…”
A confused, familiar voice sounded.
However, Xue Qilin, whose mind is still blurry, momentarily didn’t realize who the owner of the voice is.
The lass, who focused her hazy mind on searching her memories, didn’t let go of the thing she is biting in time. As a result —
“Uwahh!”
A sudden impact hit her face.
The intense pain made the lass wake up in an instant. She found herself flying through the air. There is blood flowing from her nose, and it left a fascinating and graceful arc in the air.
Before Xue Qilin had time to figure out what happened, she fell on the floor and made a sound alike a frog being squashed.
She rolled several times like a corpse, and then finally stopped after hitting a soft and warm object.
It seems that something happened yesterday at night. I remember drinking some wine, and then — can’t remember… the lass clasped her bloody nose and propped herself up.
Soon, the bleeding stopped. Heaven Realm physique is far better than the physique of ordinary people. As a result, this sort of minor injury can be healed quickly.
“What was that…”
My head hurts a little, is it a hangover? Speaking of which, I haven’t gotten drunk in a long time. Xue Qilin shook her head, and then looked around her room.
She saw a messy scene.
A pillow is hanging from a beam, it was probably thrown there by someone. The vase placed in front of the window is lying horizontally, its water spilled, and the bouquet that was originally inserted in it has fallen on the floor. The chairs are scattered in disarray, while the wine cups are on the floor. The quilt fell on the floor, with only a small part hanging from the side of the bed, while the part that fell on the floor is wet.
“Woah, did a whirlwind pass through here yesterday?”
Xue Qilin sighed carelessly.
Then, she moved her eyes to the bed, and looked for the culprit that gave her a “pleasant” awakening.
“Hiss–!”
Consequently, she took a deep breath.
A red girl is lying on her bed.
It is Qi Qiqi.
At this moment, Xue Qilin finally recalled what happened last night. She, Qi Qiqi, Shui Yun’er, and Xia Xue gathered in her room to drink wine.
The battle was intense.
Xia Xue’s alcohol tolerance is extremely poor, so she was the first to fall, followed closely behind by Shui Yun’er. But Xue Qilin and Qi Qiqi, who are not cut from the same cloth as the other two, had a prolonged battle. In the end, although it was a close call, Xue Qilin still lost to Qi Qiqi.
She treats wine as air, it would be a wonder if I could beat her! Xue Qilin comforted herself in her heart.
Qi Qiqi is still asleep.
She is a heavy sleeper and won’t wake up easily. But she is not a hypersomniac. She always wakes up when the time comes.
Whether it is because of a nightmare or something else, but she doesn’t look peaceful. The girl has creased her slim eyebrows unhappily and is sleep talking.
“Pillow… my pillow… soft, warm pillow…”
The girl fumbled around on the bed, as if looking for something.
However, since she didn’t seem to find what she is looking for, she pursed her lips, and a dimple appeared on a side of her face.
Qi Qiqi has the title of Luoyang’s No.1 beauty. Her beauty is not only recognized by the Martial World, but also the rest of the world.
After falling asleep, a woman always exudes a tranquil beauty that is usually difficult to witness.
Qi Qiqi is no exception.
With an exquisite nose, lush and rosy lips, and long eyelashes that are slightly curved upwards — the sleeping Qi Qiqi is as beautiful as a painting, her beauty rendering the world nearly lackluster.
Qi Qiqi’s face is filled with the purity of an innocent girl and the seduction of a dancer.
Excessive beauty is a kind of poison that can make people lose their minds, so you should not look at it for too long.
Xue Qilin looked away and tried to divert her attention.
Uh, I wouldn’t be the pillow she speaks of, right? Xue Qilin recalled the feeling around her waist while she was still sleeping.
In the next second, she remembered another thing.
What have I licked and bitten just now? The lass felt puzzled.
However, she quickly got an answer.
Her gaze inadvertently fell on Qi Qiqi’s long fair legs exposed from under the quilt.
Well-proportioned, perfect curves and delicate skin.
Xue Qilin couldn’t help but take a few glances, and then found a red mark on the girl’s right lower leg.
It is a shallow bite mark accompanied by saliva.
After realizing that what she bit in her drowsy state was Qi Qiqi’s lower leg, Xue Qilin froze immediately.
… bad, this is bad! What, what do I do? In just an instant, cold sweat wetted her back.
It is not hard for Xue Qilin to imagine Qi Qiqi, who has some mysophobia, to go crazy when she wakes up and finds that she has been bitten by her.
If I let things run their course, I won’t be able to escape a beating — Xue Qilin understood this easily.
Although Qi Qiqi, who is an Earth Realm expert, has an impressive regeneration ability, but who can guarantee that she won’t wake up before the mark on her lower leg disappears?
Therefore, finding something to cover up the bite mark is her best option and top priority.
Xue Qilin hurriedly searched the room. In the end, she found the socks that Qi Qiqi had taken off.
Do I put them back on for her? Won’t it be able to cover the bite mark? The more Xue Qilin thought about it, the more feasible it felt.
“Hey, I’m really smart!”
Xue Qilin smiled triumphantly and felt pleased with herself. But she neglected one thing, the first thing Qi Qiqi does after she gets up, which is to take a shower.
While walking quietly on tiptoes, she picked up the long black socks, and then crawled towards the bed.
— can only be said that Heaven did a great job.
Qi Qiqi suddenly adjusted her sleeping position and faced upwards. As she was already close to the edge of the bed, her right leg extended out of the bed, with her lower leg hanging from the edge of the bed.
The shiny lower leg is right in front of her.
Look not at what is contrary to propriety, look not at what is contrary to propriety… Xue Qilin swallowed and silently recited a meditation chant, suppressing the urge to touch the lower leg.
