"Hmph, talking big now, but the one who’s sure to get drunk later is you."

Xue Bing sneered and curled her lips, picked up a glass of wine, raised it towards Lu Tianxing, making her intentions very clear.

"Cheers!"

Seeing Xue Bing’s gesture, Lu Tianxing smiled faintly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, clinked it with Xue Bing’s glass, and then drank the wine in one go.

Although Deep-sea Bomb is quite a strong drink, for someone like Lu Tianxing, who’s at the middle-stage of Mythical level, it’s harmless. A slight circulation of True Qi could easily dissolve the strong liquor.

"You’re a real man."

Watching Lu Tianxing finish his drink in one go, Xue Bing gave Lu Tianxing a thumbs-up: "I knew I didn’t misjudge you; you’re a real man, way better than those sissies. Aunty dislikes those sissy types the most. You should be grateful you weren’t a sissy before, or I’d have slapped you dead the first time we met, crippling you, turning you into a real sissy."

Saying this, Xue Bing picked up her own glass and mimicked Lu Tianxing’s manner, seemingly intending to drink the strong liquor all at once.

Lu Tianxing was momentarily stunned, feeling a bitter smile in his heart. He could basically conclude that something had provoked Xue Bing, or else she wouldn’t drink like this. Most likely, what triggered her was the confrontation he had with Black Shadow a moment ago.

Though thinking this in his heart, Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything. He knew Xue Bing’s personality too well, her typical softness rather than toughness. If he asked, Xue Bing might not tell him anything. Moreover, her bringing him to drink already indicated she’d soon confide whatever’s troubling her. Since that’s the case, there’s no need to rush, just patiently wait.

"Gulp!" "Gulp!"

Xue Bing, without any hesitation, drank the entire glass of wine, instantly feeling a fiery sensation in her throat.

After gulping down a glass of Deep-sea Bomb, Xue Bing’s complexion turned incredibly rosy, reminiscent of a ripe peach, matched with her heroic facial features, added a unique charm that astounded anyone.

Unfortunately, Lu Tianxing was the only one who could appreciate this, as the bartender who mixed drinks for them earlier now kept his head down, sitting quietly nearby, embodying the ’hear nothing outside the window’ philosophy, clearly warned by the middle-aged man not to say, do, or hear anything he shouldn’t.

After finishing the strong drink, Xue Bing placed the glass on the table and gestured to the nearby bartender: "Give us double whiskey, with ice."

Upon hearing Xue Bing’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face showed a look of shock, hurriedly saying: "Xiao Bing, what’s wrong? Just tell me if something’s bothering you..."

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, Xue Bing already interrupted him with a provocative face, saying: "What, don’t you dare? Didn’t you like seeing me in uniform before? As long as you drink well with me today, I’ll agree to your request."

Surprised by Xue Bing’s words, images of Xue Bing in uniform popped into Lu Tianxing’s mind, filled with temptation, causing his breathing to slightly quicken.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lu Tianxing agreed without hesitation, having longed for this scene for a while, but never dared to say so. Saying it might have led Xue Bing to turn against him unexpectedly.

Now that Xue Bing brought it up voluntarily, he was very happy to accept.

"You said it, if you don’t drink with me later, I’ll make sure to castrate you."

Saying this, Xue Bing’s gaze swept discreetly over Lu Tianxing’s pants, her fingers making a scissors shape, leaving the meaning perfectly clear.

"Uh!"

Lu Tianxing had black lines across his face, shaking his head speechlessly, indeed, no matter the time, Xue Bing was as bold as ever.

"Lu Tianxing."

Looking at Lu Tianxing’s expression, Xue Bing hesitated momentarily, speaking: "Tianxing, do you think I’m just a pretty face who can’t do anything?"

"A pretty face?"

Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback: "Xiao Bing, how could you be merely a pretty face? If you’re a pretty face, then there’d hardly be any women in the world who aren’t."

This statement had no flattery towards Xue Bing; it was plain truth. Xue Bing thrived in Modu, becoming a detective captain at a young age, not through connections but by her sheer ability, climbing step by step to the captain’s position, proving she’s not just a pretty face.

Moreover, if Xue Bing were merely ornamental, how could she join the Yanhuang Group? Even with him speaking for her, Sima Lingyun wouldn’t let a decorative figure join the Yanhuang Group, damaging its reputation, or lead a team to Xiangjiang.

"But today, during your fight with them, I couldn’t do anything but look on helplessly. Isn’t that being a pretty face?" Xue Bing asked, looking at Lu Tianxing.

"I never have considered you as merely decorative." Lu Tianxing earnestly gazed at Xue Bing, stating seriously.

"Don’t you think during the fight earlier, I was uselessly watching you risking your life?"

Xue Bing’s beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Tianxing, closely examining him as if trying to discern whether he was lying or tricking her.

"I’ve never thought that way."

Lu Tianxing solemnly looked at Xue Bing, his expression didn’t change at all, his bright eyes focused on her, carrying unprecedented seriousness.

Xue Bing deeply studied Lu Tianxing and after a long while, a bright smile emerged on her pretty face, picking up the whiskey handed over by the bartender: "Forget it, let’s not talk about that. Let’s drink."

Looking at Xue Bing’s gaze, Lu Tianxing’s heart sighed slightly, but he said nothing, just raised his glass and gently clinked it against Xue Bing’s before sipping the drink lightly.

"Lu Tianxing, when do you plan to return to Beijing?"

This time, Xue Bing didn’t, as she had before, drink the entire glass of wine at once, but instead, gently sipped it, asking Lu Tianxing: "Do you really have confidence this time in Beijing?"
