Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

There is no curfew in Bishui City. According to Cui Hongjin, if you have time at night, you can go to the market in the city center.

When they heard that there was something to do, the group was obviously eager to try it out, so they went out in groups of three or four as soon as it got dark.

"No, you go if you want to go." Luo Dai frowned. She really couldn't imagine how it would feel to be squeezed in a group of people.

Shen Qiao leaned against the door with his arms folded. "Really not going? I heard Bishui City is rich in jewels, and you can find some rare spirit stones from time to time."

Luo Dai's frown seemed to relax a little, but soon it tightened again. She looked at Shen Qiao with doubt, "Are you trying to trick me into something again?"

Shen Qiao smiled. "No, I just wanted to drag you along for a stroll, and by the way... apologize to you?"

Luo Dai snorted unhappily, "Then tell me, how do you plan to make amends?"

Shen Qiao thought for a moment, "How about... I give you some wine as compensation? I heard there's a kind of fruit wine brewed from steamed fruit in Bishui City. It's sweet and refreshing, low in alcohol, and quite popular. How about we try it together?"

These words seemed to make Luo Dai hesitate.

"It's a specialty of Bishui City. You can't drink it if you leave here." Shen Qiao continued to tempt with a smile.

Unable to resist Shen Qiao's repeated temptations, Luo Dai finally gave in. "Go away! I'm going to kill you tonight to calm down!"

Shen Qiao laughed loudly and dragged the man away.

It has to be said that although Bishui City is remote, there are quite a few people coming and going in this market. Many jewelers like to come here to buy some raw stones, take them back for processing, and then resell them to officials and wealthy people who are willing to spend money, and the price can at least increase several times.

The two of them found the busiest stall, sat down, ordered their most popular berry wine and two or three plates of snacks, and started drinking.

"I always feel that I can't understand what you are thinking." After two glasses of wine, Luo Dai finally couldn't help but complain.

"You clearly don't like me, so why do you drag me along with you? I don't think being alone is a bad thing."

Shen Qiao poured her more wine without hesitation. "You say that as if you know me very well."

"Tsk." Luo Dai supported her cheek with one hand, flicked the wine glass with her fingers, looked at the ripples caused by the vibration inside and fell into deep thought. It took a while before she spoke.

"I never thought of living in peace with you."

"Huh? Why?" Shen Qiao didn't seem to care and took a sip of the sweet wine calmly.

The fruity flavor is very strong and there is almost no taste of alcohol. Shang Mian might like it.

"I don't like you." Luo Dai said bluntly.

Shen Qiao smiled, "Is it because when we first met, I said you weren't suitable for using a sword?"

Luo Dai looked at her with a complicated expression. After another silence, Luo Dai shook her head and said, "You have changed. You were definitely not like this before."

Shen Qiao paused slightly and looked up at Luo Dai.

The question in his eyes made Luo Dai feel a little satisfied. "Are you curious about what you were like before?"

Shen Qiao put down his wine glass and gave a wicked smile, "If I say no, will you feel disappointed?"

"Are you going to listen or not?" Luo Dai said with a hint of impatience, narrowing her eyes half in a threatening manner.

Shen Qiao looked at her and tried to hold back a smile, "Listen, tell me."

"What a disgusting, disgusting person." Luo Dai was obviously not someone who would give Shen Qiao face.

"You insist on getting your hands on things that aren't yours, relying on your innocent facade to do whatever you want!"

Luo Dai became more and more angry as she spoke, and finally picked up the wine glass and drank the remaining third.

"He's clearly got the upper hand, but he's still feigning innocence. How hypocritical! How abominable!"

Shen Qiao didn't seem angry when he heard this. "That description sounds... quite lame indeed."

This made Luo Dai glare at him, "Tell me! Is there any reason for me to hate you?"

Shen Qiao was finally forced to put down his glass helplessly after being stared at by her. "That's right, but I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

"You haven't told me yet, how do you know these things about your past lives?"

The next question brought the conversation back to Luo Dai herself, which was also something Shen Qiao had always been curious about.

This person seemed to have known her for a long time, but she was very sure that she had no entanglement with this person in her previous life. Even the name "Luo Dai" was the first time she heard it in this life. Shen Qiao thought that she might have been involved with Yun Zhi after her death, but this did not sound likely.

Luo Dai's expression was blank for a moment. Shen Qiao saw her slowly becoming dejected again, "Yeah... You don't remember anything... He doesn't recognize me anymore... You are all free."

Luo Dai raised her head after muttering to herself. Her watery eyes, slightly drunk, stared fiercely at Shen Qiao, "You really are trying to trick me!"

"I just want to solve the problem," Shen Qiao admitted frankly. "And I think that if you want revenge, you should at least make the other person feel your pain, right?"

As he spoke, Shen Qiao raised his eyes and met her gaze. Looking at her half-smiling eyes, Luo Dai actually sensed a bit of evil in her for the first time.

"Tell me about it, maybe I'll cooperate with you?"

"...You lunatic." Luo Dai couldn't help but say.

Just as they were about to get to the point, Luo Dai was suddenly interrupted by a greeting.

"What a coincidence, you're here too?"

Shen Qiao restrained his expression and put on an impeccable smile as he looked at Cui Hongjin who was approaching. "I found City Lord Cui's introduction interesting, so I came out for a walk."

Because of what happened before, Cui Hongjin still felt a little awkward facing Shen Qiao. "Ahem, in that case, why don't I pay for your drinks? It'll be my apology for what happened before."

Shen Qiao glanced at the dazed Luo Dai and said politely, "City Lord Cui, you're too polite. The situation was special back then. Now it's better to talk things out."

Shang Mian told her that the powder that Luo Dai was splashed with in the wine cellar before had a complex composition. In order to facilitate recovery, Shang Mian suggested that Luo Dai change back to her female appearance. Now she can't digest the alcohol, and she might be drunk.

I wanted to take this opportunity to ask something, but unfortunately I was interrupted.

"It's getting late, and my junior sister can't drink much, so I'll take her back first." Shen Qiao said, and called the waiter to pay for the drinks, then went to help Luo Dai up.

Cui Hongjin was watching from the side. When he saw the person was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "I heard someone say that you seem to be a woman?"

Shen Qiao felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter. She was still maintaining her masculine appearance simply because she had no chance to change back.

"So what?"

Upon hearing this affirmative answer, Cui Hongjin quickly followed and asked, "Can I see your female form?"

Shen Qiao paused and gave Cui Hongjin a puzzled look. "If the City Lord is simply curious, it's not impossible."
