83: Chapter 83 Kneeling All Night

After touring the entire building, Jiang He sat in Blood Blade's private gaming room on the top floor.

"Old Lin? Are you sure this isn't a club, but a gaming studio?"

A cafeteria, gym, swimming pool, lounge, arcade, and even a café?

Even the staff dorms are up to five-star hotel standards?

"How about it, Jiang He? Do you want to join our Blood Fiend Guild? I guarantee if you come, the benefits will be even better than what you've seen."

Blood Blade grinned mischievously.

Bang! Bai Luoyao slapped the sofa armrest and stood up, shouting, "That's enough! Trying to poach someone right in front of me!"

At this moment, Bai Luoyao actually felt a bit guilty.

After seeing the facilities in this building earlier, even she was a little envious.

And she did know a thing or two about Jiang He.

He was definitely money-grubbing, but whether he was lecherous remained to be seen.

This slap gave Blood Blade quite a start.

"No, Xiao Yao, why are you getting so worked up? I'm just poaching a person, not stealing your husband. Don't get so excited."

Bai Luoyao blushed upon hearing this. "Who, who's excited? A-anyway, it's just not allowed."

As she spoke, she walked over to Jiang He, grabbed his arm, and said, "Jiang He, tell me quickly, are you my person? You won't go to the Blood Fiend Guild, right?"

Jiang He's heart nearly jumped out of his chest; this was the first time Bai Luoyao had held his arm like this.

A delicate fragrance wafted over, leaving him dazed. He nodded instinctively, "Yes, I, I am your person."

These words made Bai Luoyao's face turn even redder.

Blood Blade looked speechless. "Jiang He, is your willpower really that weak? You surrendered to such a small honey trap?"

"Ah? W-what honey trap? No, not at all! I'm from Luohe Hall to begin with, so naturally, I'm Xiao Yao's person." Jiang He quickly explained.

Seeing that poaching him was hopeless, Blood Blade stopped bringing it up.

Next, he began arranging their meals and accommodations.

They would stay right here; every room was comparable to a five-star hotel, and the hygiene was excellent.

Meals would be taken care of in the cafeteria; there was a private dining room on the second floor, and the chefs were from all over, so they could have any flavor they wanted.

But the more Blood Blade arranged things like this, the more jealous Bai Luoyao became.

She even began calculating that when she returned to Magic City, she would build a Luohe Hall operations base to this standard as well.

Evening arrived.

There were only three of them in the private room, but the table was set like a full Manchu-Han feast, with every kind of cuisine imaginable.

"Old Lin, isn't it too wasteful for just the three of us?"

"What's wasteful about it? It's not easy for you two to visit, so of course you have to try everything. I specifically asked the chefs to make a portion of all their signature dishes."

But before Jiang He could pick up his chopsticks, Blood Blade called out, "Right, what kind of alcohol do you like? Baijiu, red wine, or Western spirits?"

"Ah? I... I like drinking beer." Jiang He felt a bit embarrassed.

He usually sat shirtless in his grandmother's courtyard drinking ice-cold beer.

Suddenly attending a high-end gathering, he felt a bit unrefined.

"Beer?" Blood Blade was a bit surprised but didn't say much, pressing the call button on the table.

Soon, a uniformed staff member walked in. "Young Master Lin, do you have any instructions?"

"Do we have beer here?"

"Yes, we do."

"Hmm, bring up the best ones."

"Understood."

After the staff member left, Blood Blade smiled and said, "Drinking beer is great. I usually like beer too. Later, we brothers should have a good drink."

Beside them, Bai Luoyao saw Blood Blade constantly trying to cozy up and was furious. She knocked on the table. "Hey! I'm still here!"

Both men were stunned. Jiang He immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Yao, eat more later. You must be starving after today!"

"Yeah, Xiao Yao, hurry and try it. Don't be polite. You eat first; we'll wait to drink." Blood Blade chimed in.

Bai Luoyao was so angry she gnawed on her chopsticks.

Soon, the staff member brought over a dozen bottles of beer.

Before Blood Blade could even speak, Bai Luoyao grabbed a bottle, opened it, and took a swig straight from the bottle.

This action stunned both of them.

"Wait, Xiao Yao, you drink too?" Blood Blade was very surprised.

"What? Can't I have a drink since I'm at your place?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't know you drank too."

"Hmph, my alcohol tolerance is high enough to scare you to death!"

Two hours later.

The table was piled with empty beer bottles.

Bai Luoyao held a beer bottle, swaying back and forth in the room. "Come on, let's keep drinking!"

Blood Blade held his forehead and looked at Jiang He. "Big brother, hurry and take your wife away. She's been drunk-rambling for half an hour now."

Jiang He wore a wry smile.

This girl had claimed at the beginning that she had a high tolerance, and he had actually believed her.

As it turned out, after three bottles, she completely lost control.

First she said she was from Magic City, then later, Magic City became hers.

It took a lot of effort for Jiang He to carry her back to her room.

But this girl had some unknown strength, grabbing his arm tightly and refusing to let go.

Jiang He tried calling her name to wake her up, but it was a wasted effort.

Clutching a beer bottle and Jiang He's arm, she had fallen dead asleep.

Jiang He half-knelt by the bed, not daring to move, afraid that his mind would wander.

A night passed.

Bai Luoyao woke up groggily, feeling a headache.

Suddenly, she saw someone kneeling by the bed and was scared enough to almost scream; she instinctively threw what was in her hand.

She forgot she was still clutching an empty beer bottle in her hand.

Bang!

A dull thud.

In his sleep, Jiang He only felt sharp pain in his shoulder. With a yelp, he sprang up!

But the next second, his legs gave out, and with a thud, he fell straight back to his knees.

He hadn't moved all night; his legs were completely numb and he couldn't stand at all.

He cried out with a mournful face, "Xiao Yao, why are you hitting me with a beer bottle first thing in the morning?"

At this moment, Bai Luoyao was both embarrassed and angry, her cheeks bright red. "Who, who told you to stay in my room!"

Jiang He held his shoulder, wincing as he explained what happened last night.

Knowing the cause and effect, Bai Luoyao was so embarrassed she wanted to bury herself in the blankets.

But seeing Jiang He painfully rubbing his shoulder, she cautiously leaned over. "Let me see, is it badly hurt?" As she spoke, she reached out to pull at Jiang He's clothes to check.

This action startled Jiang He, and he instinctively wanted to dodge.

But he forgot again that his legs were still numb.

Losing his balance, he fell toward Bai Luoyao!

"Ah!"

The next second, Bai Luoyao flailed, pounding on his back. "Bastard, get up! And you said you weren't thinking of anything! Wuwu..."

"D-don't hit me, m-my legs are numb, I can't stand up!" Jiang He was anxious too.

Suddenly, with strength from who knows where, Bai Luoyao shoved him aside.

Jiang He fell onto the bed, unable to move.

Bai Luoyao quickly jumped out of bed, combed her messy hair with her hands, and said reproachfully, "Y-you lie down for a while, I-I'm going to wash up."

Just as she turned around, the doorbell rang.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Blood Blade's face, full of gossip and mischief, leaning in.

"Brother Jiang, did you have fun last night?" He looked grinningly at Jiang He on the bed.
