Chapter 839 - 839 839 Refusing a Toast only to be Forced to Drink a Penalty
839: Chapter 839: Refusing a Toast only to be Forced to Drink a Penalty 839: Chapter 839: Refusing a Toast only to be Forced to Drink a Penalty Everyone, including Xiao Dahai and Li Yufen, silently thanked the person who acted as an agent of justice and took care of Brother Da Fei.
Little did they know, the one they were grateful to was now sitting across from them, comfortably watching a movie and sipping tea.
“Accompanying me here, must be so boring for you, right?”
Xiao Mei glanced at Bai Xiaofan, who was focused on his laptop, and asked cautiously all of a sudden.
“Not boring at all, especially since you’re here with me, aren’t you?”
Bai Xiaofan smiled gently, giving Xiao Mei a tender look.
“Hmph, you sure know how to talk.
But don’t worry, tomorrow we’ll buy tickets and head back; I’m bored too!”
Xiao Mei scrunched her little nose haughtily and grabbed Bai Xiaofan’s arm with both hands, displaying an unprecedented meekness.
By noon, the hotpot restaurant was still bustling with business.
Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei decided to share a hotpot together.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaofan’s expression froze slightly, his gaze shifting toward the entrance of the hotpot restaurant.
Xiao Mei also lifted her head to look toward the door.
Under their watchful eyes, a group of six people, both male and female, all young, walked in.
These six people were dressed similarly to ordinary folks.
After stepping into the restaurant, they were seated at a table not far from Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei under the server’s arrangement.
Gazing at the four men and two women seated there, a flicker of puzzlement flashed through Bai Xiaofan’s eyes.
“All of these people are cultivators, and their powers are quite strong.
Why would they come here?
Are they targeting you?”
Xiao Mei asked softly while placing mutton slices into Bai Xiaofan’s bowl.
“Not sure, but the woman across the way with the braided pigtails gives me a familiar feeling, as if I’ve seen her somewhere before.
Yet I can confirm, I’ve never met her.”
Bai Xiaofan shook his head lightly, quietly responding to Xiao Mei’s question.
Still, his eyes were fixed on the woman with the braided pigtails among the six.
As it happened, the woman was also looking directly at him, with a faint smile playing on her lips.
“She’s smiling at you?
Are you sure she’s not a girl you charmed somewhere before?
Don’t worry, you don’t have to pretend you don’t know her.
I won’t mind.”
Xiao Mei noticed the smile directed at Bai Xiaofan as well and whispered a teasing remark while keeping her gaze locked firmly on him.
Although she truly didn’t mind, if Bai Xiaofan dared to openly flirt or associate with any women other than those from his household, she might not get angry, but she would certainly inform the others back at Bai Xiaofan’s home.
“Stop fooling around.
I genuinely don’t know her.
Let’s just keep eating.
Besides, I have this gut feeling these people mean trouble.”
Bai Xiaofan lightly tapped Xiao Mei’s forehead, and the two continued eating and drinking.
As the pair quietly talked about the newcomers, those at the other table were also murmuring about them.
“Does Miss know the man across from us?”
One of the two women, whose hair was tied up high, couldn’t resist leaning closer to the girl with the braided pigtails beside her, noticing she had been staring at Bai Xiaofan all this time.
“Know him?
More like very well acquainted,”
The braided pigtail girl smiled faintly, her gaze gleaming with the memory of something long past.
“Then why doesn’t Miss go over to greet him?”
“Forget it.
His impression of me still remains from before I awakened my holy power.
He wouldn’t recognize me in my current appearance.”
The braided pigtail girl shook her head and joined the others in eating their food.
It didn’t take long before the group of six finished their meal.
As they left, the braided pigtail girl glanced back at Bai Xiaofan one last time, an almost familiar smile adorning her face.
Could she be his elder sister?
Bai Xiaofan pondered with a tinge of confusion.
Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei spent the afternoon exploring a few scenic spots in Binbei City.
By the time they returned, it was nearly deep into the night.
Binbei City wasn’t the same as Nanjiang City—at this hour, the streets were nearly deserted.
Xiao Mei, no longer worried about being seen, nestled snugly against Bai Xiaofan as they walked home, chatting softly along the way.
Suddenly, several cars screeched to a halt in front of Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei, blocking their path.
Seeing the luxury cars, Bai Xiaofan couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Ah, looks like trouble again—thanks to your beauty.”
Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s remark, Xiao Mei giggled coquettishly.
“What’s this?
Has the famous God of Slaughter suddenly grown scared?
You should know, having a flawless girl like me comes with its share of challenges!”
Bai Xiaofan dotingly pinched Xiao Mei’s nose, earning himself an adorably pouty expression from her.
“Miss, our young master would like to invite you to his car for a chat!”
A man who appeared to be a chauffeur stepped out of a Rolls-Royce and walked up to Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei, addressing Xiao Mei directly while completely ignoring Bai Xiaofan.
“What’s your young master’s name?”
Xiao Mei asked playfully, utterly unperturbed.
“Our young master’s surname is Song.
He’s Song Wei, the third young master of the Song family here in Binbei City!”
The chauffeur introduced proudly, puffing up as if he were extolling himself rather than his master.
“Well then, I don’t know him.
So let’s forget it!”
After the chauffeur’s words, Xiao Mei exaggeratedly replied, summarily dismissing the offer.
She then clung to Bai Xiaofan’s arm, bypassed the cars, and walked on.
“Damn it, you really think you can get away by refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
Realizing what had happened, the chauffeur pulled out a dagger from his waist, took three large strides, and blocked their path again.
This time, he pressed the dagger against Bai Xiaofan’s neck.
It seemed Xiao Mei’s refusal might just push the blade to draw blood.
Bai Xiaofan looked down at the dagger against his neck, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
How long had it been since someone dared to act this dismissively toward him?
To have his throat threatened with a knife.
If word got out, his reputation would be utterly ruined.
Xiao Mei, too, watched curiously, amazed that there were people in this world who seemed eager to deliver themselves to death.
It was truly unbelievable.
How could such people exist?
