A transaction

On the other side!

Zhong Qing returned leisurely, carrying a demonic deer.

"Brother Zhong, you're back!"

Fire Linger had once again reverted to her harmless demeanor.

Her large, gem-like eyes sparkled like stars, blinking repeatedly.

Her face was flushed crimson.

She still appeared to be in a state of shyness.

It must be said, her acting skills had truly reached a masterful level.

Zhong Qing didn't detect the slightest abnormality.

He nodded, then said, "I hunted a deer; let's get some food ready."

"You rest for a bit; I'll call you when it's done."

By the edge of the gloomy cold pond, a bonfire was soon lit.

Zhong Qing skillfully de-furred, skinned, and gutted the prey, then began to roast it.

After about half an hour, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air, tempting the taste buds.

"Brother Zhong, how can we have meat without wine?"

"I previously obtained a jar of High Grade fine wine."

"I've always been reluctant to waste it."

"Now is the perfect time to drink it with you."

Fire Linger promptly picked up a jar of fine wine, came before Zhong Qing, and sat down casually by the bonfire, saying.

Hearing that the other party wanted to drink, Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow.

He didn't mind having a good drink.

But thinking about how she had groped him when she was drunk earlier,

He felt somewhat awkward.

Just then, Fire Linger opened the wine jar.

A rich aroma of wine wafted out.

This wine aroma made Zhong Qing's throat move.

It was as if a wine worm within him had been lured out.

In an instant, his original intention to refuse changed direction.

"Since it's your cherished collection, I certainly can't Fail your kindness."

Fire Linger produced two jade bowls from somewhere and filled them both.

"Come, Brother Zhong, I toast you!"

She picked up one of the bowls of wine and handed it to Zhong Qing, saying boldly.

The latter took it, gave a distant toast, and then drank it down like an ox.

"Hiss..."

As the fine wine entered his stomach, Zhong Qing felt a burning fire in his lower abdomen.

This wine was so potent.

Mellow and strong!

Quite intoxicating.

Zhong Qing, who originally considered his alcohol tolerance excellent, felt a slight tipsiness after only one bowl.

However, he had to admit.

This wine was indeed a rare vintage.

Zhong Qing had drunk wine for so many years, and in terms of potency alone, this wine was number one.

"Good wine!"

He praised it without hesitation, then asked, "What is this wine called?"

Fire Linger's face was beaming with a smile as she said, "This is Three-Cup Collapse!"

"Before I obtained this wine, Ling'er heard that no matter how good a person's alcohol tolerance is, they can't withstand three cups after drinking this wine."

"Oh!"

"Then I must try to see if I can withstand three cups!"

When it comes to drinking, men generally don't back down.

Moreover, challenging limits has always been a man's favorite.

Fire Linger happily filled another bowl for Zhong Qing.

Then she tore off a piece of meat from the bonfire rack and handed it over.

Zhong Qing was in a good mood.

He rarely smiled and said.

"Wine should be drunk in large gulps, and meat should be eaten in large chunks."

"That's the most enjoyable way!"

As the wine and meat went down.

Zhong Qing felt extremely dizzy, and even his eyes began to blur.

This surprised him greatly.

This wine, was it really so potent?

Two cups of strong wine, and it almost knocked him out on the spot?

No!

It wasn't almost knocked out.

He was already knocked out.

At this moment, Zhong Qing only felt extremely dizzy.

He couldn't muster an ounce of strength throughout his body.

"Lost Emperor Powder, as potent as expected!"

On the other side, Fire Linger saw this and knew that the Lost Emperor Powder had taken effect.

She couldn't help but cheer.

Her large eyes revealed a mischievous smile.

"You, drugged me?"

Zhong Qing endured the discomfort, raised his head to look at Fire Linger, and said coldly with a frown.

"Zhong Qing!"

"Don't struggle!"

"This Lost Emperor Powder is something that can make even a Great Emperor fall unconscious."

"No matter how extraordinary your methods or how great your abilities, you absolutely cannot resist the effects of the Lost Emperor Powder."

Zhong Qing wanted to take an antidote pill, but he could barely move his fingers.

He never expected that he, a man of great wisdom, would fall into the hands of such an unremarkable little girl.

His face was grim: "What do you intend to do?"

At the same time, he kept recalling when he might have offended this person.

But before he could figure it out.

Fire Linger had already come before him.

"You'll know in a moment!"

As she spoke, she immediately began to take off her clothes!

"Boom..."

At this moment, Zhong Qing's mind went blank.

His eyes saw only that white, jade-like body.

As Fire Linger unveiled herself.

Her disguise illusion dispelled, revealing her true appearance.

What kind of woman was this?

At first glance, stunning!

At second glance, perfect!

Her large eyes were as deep and bright as cosmic gems.

Beneath her fiery red hair was a perfectly delicate melon-seed face.

Her graceful and curvaceous body emanated a luster like congealed mutton-fat jade.

She was flawless, without a single blemish.

At this moment, no words like 'alluring beauty,' 'moon-like countenance,' or 'beauty that sinks fish and geese' were sufficient to describe even a tenth of her beauty.

This kind of beauty was enough to make heaven and earth lose their color, and all things fall silent.

Then, Fire Linger directly straddled Zhong Qing.

And began to unbutton his clothes.

She had a face like an angel, yet wore a smile like a little devil.

One jade hand, like a nimble snake, continuously roamed over his body.

Exploring up and down!

Her other jade hand held Zhong Qing's chin.

"Zhong Qing, to be honest with you."

"This girl has been fond of you for a long time!"

"Today, no matter what, I'm going to have you!"

"Don't even think about resisting; the more you resist, the more excited I get!"

In the sky, Fire Linger's wild and unrestrained laughter echoed.

After a period of intimate passion.

Zhong Qing had completely fallen unconscious.

Fire Linger, on the other hand, had put on her clothes.

She sat upright and proper beside Zhong Qing.

After all, he was the first man in her life.

No matter how unrestrained she acted, how could there not be a ripple in her heart?

She gently stroked Zhong Qing's cheek, her previous frivolity gone.

In its place was a look of melancholy.

"Zhong Qing, I hope you don't blame me!"

"My identity dictates that I cannot remain ordinary."

As she spoke, she took out two items from her bosom.

A "Dao of the Emperor"!

A shining Emperor Seed!

The Dao of the Emperor was placed beside Zhong Qing's head.

The Emperor Seed was directly injected into Zhong Qing's body by Fire Linger.

"This 'Dao of the Emperor' can help you become strong quickly."

"If you can reach that stage, this Emperor Seed will make your path to becoming an Emperor smoother."

"Thus, we are even!"

However, as she stood up to leave, a faint sense of reluctance lingered deep within her heart.

Recalling the bits and pieces of their time together.

This man had unexpectedly come to hold a significant place in her heart.

Dominant, confident, mysterious.

Even now, she still found Zhong Qing somewhat unfathomable.

Of course, this hint of reluctance did not make Fire Linger choose to stay.

Life, from birth, is destined to face various choices.

Fire Linger's purpose in doing this was to Cultivate the secret art passed down in her Family.

Zhong Qing was merely a bridge for her to reach her destination.

She would naturally not abandon the root for the branch.

In the end, it was nothing more than a transaction!
