Chapter 90 - Trying to Seduce Him? (1/2)

Qiu Ling's mood once again shifted. He looked at Qiang Wei pitifully and pursed his lips. Jing He … He wanted to see him so badly. But thinking about seeing him made him remember why he had started drinking in the first place: His beloved had kissed another man.

Yes, while Qiu Ling was drunk, Shao Hai kissing Jing Yi had somehow turned into Jing He taking the initiative to kiss another man. His imagination had truly gone a bit overboard by now.

”Where's the wine?”, Qiu Ling asked once again.

Qiang Wei sighed and emphasized: ”You smashed the flask.”

Qiu Ling frowned in answer. ”Did you only bring one flask with you? That can't be, right? Where are the other ones?”

”That …” Qiang Wei froze. He had indeed only brought one. Lao Chun had been so sure their king would go down after one flask at the latest. Who could have known he would drink half of it and then smash it accidentally? What was he going to offer his king now?

Qiu Ling's frown got deeper. ”You really only brought one flask? What did you come here for in the first place? Go, get me something else.”

”Your Majesty, if I return to the dragon realm to —”

”Who's talking about the dragon realm? Just find something in this capital of the mortals!”

Qiang Wei started to protest, but Qiu Ling just waved.

”Just go. Don't you dare come back without enough wine!”

Qiang Wei closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There's no use arguing with a drunk, there's no use arguing with a drunk … He could only repeat that sentence ten times in his head to calm down. Then, he finally opened his eyes and forced a smile. ”Of course, Your Majesty. I'll be on my way now. Please, stay in this room until I come back, so you can start drinking immediately.”

”Mn.” Qiu Ling waved again. Qiang Wei turned around and went to accomplish his new task.

As soon as the door closed behind him, Qiu Ling flopped onto the table once again. ”Jing He … Why did you do this to me?” He closed his eyes and conjured up his beloved's image once again. Unfortunately, it was still that picture of him with another man. Qiu Ling frowned.

Meanwhile, Qiang Wei left the teahouse after warning Madam Zhong that Qiu Ling was in the blue room. Madam Zhong only nodded. She couldn't help him and had even contemplated if it would be wise to break ties with him. Though, she did feel bad about these thoughts. He had helped them a lot and now she wanted to shoo him because of one drunken episode? It didn't seem right.

But at the moment, she was afraid for her son. What if he really fell in love with somebody else? How would the daoist master react? He wouldn't do anything to Jing Yi, right? But even if he didn't, she didn't trust that he wouldn't do something to the person her son loved. In the end, didn't that mean that her son couldn't fall in love with anyone but him? Else, he'd be doomed to a loveless life.
