Chapter 65

Qianye ordered a large glass of light beer, while in front of Yu Yingnan were two large porcelain bottles of homemade grain wine. This wine, as its name suggests, was made from grains, had a mediocre taste, but was extremely potent.

Without giving Qianye a chance to speak, Yu Yingnan directly poured a full large glass of grain wine and pushed it in front of him.

"I don't drink strong alcohol," Qianye said honestly.

"Which man can't drink!" She was displeased.

"I can't find a reason to drink with you."

Yu Yingnan was taken aback, "Why...?" She looked at Qianye's almost expressionless face and suddenly realized, "You don't think those scumbags should be killed, do you?"

"Offensive grenades are weapons used against real enemies," Qianye said calmly.

Yu Yingnan snorted and sneered, "Does it make a difference to those scumbags? You think you can walk out of there, but what about someone else? Have you thought about what would happen? Just yesterday, two women from outside accidentally went in there. Do you know what their bodies looked like when they were found?! Such people, killing them ten times over isn't too much! Since it's killing anyway, why does it matter what weapon is used?"

"But there were children inside..."

"That little scoundrel is the core figure inside! He's responsible for finding valuable things and deciding whether to take the risk of killing the owner!"

Qianye opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.

"Come! Have a drink, little man! I really can't understand what strange ideas you have in your head; this isn't like a hunter at all! A rookie like you, if you really go to battle, you won't even know how you die. Drink up! Don't be so timid like a woman!"

"I... grew up in places like this." Qianye suddenly wanted to explain.

Yu Yingnan looked at him with some surprise and then said, "Then I understand. You're not a coward. Come, let's drink this, and consider it an apology!"

The two glasses clinked heavily, and then Qianye looked at the glass in his hand, somewhat dazed.

This thing was clearly a water glass, not a wine glass!

But Yu Yingnan tilted her head back, and the large glass of strong alcohol was completely drained.

Qianye's face turned a bit bitter, and he frowned, taking small sips, and it took him quite a while to slowly finish the whole glass. After drinking, he exhaled a strong alcohol smell, and his face immediately turned red.

Another full glass of wine slid across the table and stopped steadily in front of Qianye.

Qianye was now almost speechless. Just as he picked up the glass, Yu Yingnan clinked glasses with him heavily, "Drink up!"

She tilted her head back and drank the whole glass in one go.

Qianye this time still took several sips to finish the drink, and his face was already flushed.

After these two rounds, a bottle of grain wine was already empty. Yu Yingnan poured the wine as if she were drinking water, and in no time, the second bottle of grain wine was also finished.

Yu Yingnan's gaze finally softened as she looked at Qianye and said, "Although you're a bit timid, your alcohol tolerance is still that of a man. Boss! Two more bottles, to rinse the mouth!"

"Rinse the mouth?!" Qianye heard a terrifying word and immediately started coughing.

Yu Yingnan waved her right hand and said, "Just two bottles, what else could it be? Oh, to moisten the throat?"

Whether to rinse the mouth or moisten the throat, there was no difference.

The bar owner brought two bottles of grain wine and ran up to serve them.

Qianye and Yu Yingnan's table had already attracted the attention of the entire bar. But this girl seemed to be well-known here, and a group of half-drunk people were cheering and encouraging, but no one dared to come and challenge.

Rinsing the mouth and moistening the throat, and then rinsing the mouth again.

Thus, the bottles of wine piled up more and more at their feet.

The more Yu Yingnan looked at Qianye, the more she liked him, and she started calling him brother and treating him as a comrade. She thought that except for his poor disguise skills, slightly pale skin, not being muscular enough, not being of a high enough level, not being ruthless enough, and not having a sufficiently imposing presence... he could be considered a real man with no other flaws.

Qianye naturally found this laughable, not knowing what he would be left with if all these things were removed.

Since he couldn't even get a word in, Qianye could only hold the wine glass, which was as large as a water glass, and slowly drink the strong alcohol, one sip at a time.

Every time he finished a glass, Yu Yingnan would immediately refill it, and then they would clink glasses heavily. She would drink it in one go, and then watch Qianye slowly deal with his glass.

Qianye had been swaying from the first glass, and he could fall at any moment. He drank for most of the night, and after more than ten bottles, he was still swaying, and he could fall at any moment.

Qianye slowly finished this glass of wine and put the glass heavily on the table. He waited for Yu Yingnan to refill it, but after a while, the glass was still empty. Qianye finally looked up and saw that Yu Yingnan had already fallen under the table.

He was dazed for a while before realizing that this bold female hunter was drunk and unconscious.

The bar owner ran over again, first looked at Yu Yingnan, then gave Qianye a thumbs up and whispered, "Impressive! You're the first one to knock her out one-on-one. Oh, by the way, the shop is about to close. Could you settle the bill first?"

Qianye looked at the huge number on the bill and realized how much they had drunk.

He helplessly took out three gold coins to pay the bill and then went over to lift Yu Yingnan. She leaned on Qianye, still in a bold posture, and was unusually heavy, with her armor alone weighing no less than fifty kilograms.

The bar owner enthusiastically and in detail pointed out where Yu Yingnan lived, then winked at Qianye with a lecherous expression, and finally tried to sell him a powerful drug that would "definitely make her unable to get out of bed in the morning."

Qianye, feeling both amused and exasperated, quickly refused the owner's "good intentions." If he really did something to this four-star female hunter, she would definitely break his legs as soon as she woke up, and then he would be the one unable to get out of bed.

Qianye carried the female hunter and, following the address given by the owner, walked to a small building.

The door was not locked, and the few simple traps inside were no problem for Qianye. He carefully avoided the alarm mechanisms from the door to the corridor, went up to the third-floor bedroom, and threw Yu Yingnan onto the bed, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Qianye looked around the room, and the layout clearly showed that this girl was a violent person. One wall was covered with firearms, another with various knives. The cabinets, which looked like bookshelves, contained many strange parts from dark races, all proof of her achievements. Most men would probably keep their distance after seeing these.

Qianye began to feel the aftereffects of drinking strong alcohol all night, feeling dry and thirsty. He found some cold water on the table, drank several large glasses without caring if it was leftover from the night before, and felt a bit better.

He threw himself onto the sofa, slowly relaxed, and then the alcohol took effect, and he fell asleep.

In a daze, Qianye suddenly felt a vague sense of danger and found himself in that empty, deserted street again. But this time, the one who emerged from the dark alley was not a blood slave but Yu Yingnan! She had a stern face, raised a gun, and pointed it at Qianye's forehead.

Qianye was shocked and wanted to call out to her to stop, but he couldn't make a sound no matter what!

Yu Yingnan had a cold expression, pressed her finger down, and pulled the trigger.

Just before the trigger was pulled, Qianye suddenly sprang up from the ground, crashed into her, grabbed her arm, and threw her over his shoulder!

But just as Yu Yingnan's feet were about to leave the ground, she suddenly flipped and, with overwhelming strength, threw Qianye out!

In the dizziness, Qianye immediately woke up, realizing he was about to crash into the wall. His combat instincts, formed over many years, kicked in. He stretched out his limbs, braced against the wall, and deftly dissipated the momentum. Then he shrank and hung at the angle between the wall and the ceiling, looking back.

Yu Yingnan was standing in the room, still in the throwing position, looking at him with surprise.

This time it wasn't a dream but a real scene.

Yu Yingnan relaxed her posture and said somewhat awkwardly, "I... really didn't mean to, I just wanted to cover you with something. I didn't expect you to suddenly... and then I... but you're pretty good, so I'm glad you're not hurt."

Qianye slid down the wall, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's not your fault, I often have nightmares. I had one just now, so I had an instinctive reaction."

Yu Yingnan nodded and said, "But your perception is really impressive. You could sense my approach even in your sleep. It seems you're qualified to act alone in the wild."

Qianye looked at the time; it was already 5 a.m. This was the time when hunters started to move.

Yu Yingnan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, scratched her head, and said, "I... lost control a bit last night. I really didn't expect you to have such a good alcohol tolerance! What did you do before?"

"I ran a bar." Qianye's answer immediately made Yu Yingnan's smile freeze.

After a moment, the two of them had breakfast and started discussing the matter at hand.

Yu Yingnan heard that a new person had joined the Hunter's Home, and that Second Master had given a high evaluation. She had a very difficult task at hand and needed more people, so she came to find Qianye. She happened to see the scene in the slums and couldn't bear Qianye's indecision, so she used her usual brutal style to quickly deal with the mob.

Then she suggested having a drink, originally planning to get Qianye drunk and give this one-star hunter a small lesson. She didn't expect to meet someone who ran a bar!

Yu Yingnan, who usually had an unmatched alcohol tolerance, was finally knocked out, and Qianye carried her home.

But this also made Yu Yingnan look at Qianye with new respect. According to her, a person with good alcohol tolerance usually has a good character.

Although Qianye found it hard to agree with her theory, he wisely didn't argue with the "barrel" and instead asked about the mission.

It turned out that Yu Yingnan had received intelligence that in a valley about 300 kilometers from Dark Blood City, there was a secret den of werewolves. This den contained an ancient totem, which was said to have the terrifying power to accelerate the training of werewolves. Such items were always high on the Empire Research Institute's acquisition list and could be used to study dark primal energy.

Yu Yingnan planned to get this item, but felt that her current strength was not enough.

She had already initially formed a team, including a four-star hunter and two three-star hunters, but couldn't find anyone else suitable. The people she admired were all on missions, and those who were available, she didn't admire. In the end, she had no choice but to find the new arrival, Qianye, mainly because of Second Master's high praise.

Qianye didn't expect Second Master's evaluation to be so valued. After all, a four-star hunter was no simple matter. At least thirty to forty dark races had died at Yu Yingnan's hands, and many of them were likely powerful level-four beings. If even she trusted Second Master so much, it showed that Second Master was no ordinary person.

"You sit here, I'll go take a shower."

Yu Yingnan undressed in front of Qianye, leaving only her underwear, revealing a body as elegant and sexy as a cheetah, and walked into the bathroom.

PS: I am on a business trip, looking at my own figure in the saved draft box, thinking about the update plan for April.
