Chapter 558: Only the Drinkers Leave Their Names

In one’s thoughts, Sasha looked at the crystal-clear sky and the pale earth.

We arrived here again.

"It seems that you have survived," she looked at the other person.

"Thanks to you," Bai Wei shrugged, "I consider it lucky to win and escape danger."

Sasha said, "I impulsively lent you a gun, but don’t take advantage of this. There won’t be such good opportunities in the future."

Bai Wei clasped his fists and said, "I wouldn’t dare."

"What brings you here today?" Sasha raised her hand, her blood-red spear falling to the ground, "Have you recovered and improved in strength? Do you want to spar with me?"

"I have reached a new level, so there’s no reason for me to fight you, Sasha," Bai Wei shook his head, "I just wanted to let you know I’m safe and say thank you."

"Oh," Sasha said flatly, her expression unhappy.

"Disappointed?"

"Use the polite form ‘您’, little demon," Sasha snorted. "There’s nothing enjoyable about beating you up, I just thought I could get some exercise. Or are you already trying to hide your true abilities?"

Bai Wei chuckled, "Blood Noble truly lives up to her reputation as a fierce warrior."

He continued, "But I really didn’t come here to fight you. I came to express my gratitude."

He raised his hand, "Please take a seat."

Suddenly, a table with two chairs appeared, along with a large amount of food delicately placed on top. The aroma was enticing, making one’s mouth water.

Sasha had a little-known trait, she actually enjoyed pain.

Because she liked pain, she would get excited when her injuries were treated, whether by pressing the wound or stitching it up.

This was due to her unique constitution, which caused her body to produce some numbing and pleasurable hormones and endorphins after being injured.

So, to satisfy these little pleasures, her taste buds were quite heavy, and she especially loved spicy food, as spicy also brought a kind of pain.

Weirdly spicy and devilishly spicy made the students who stole the delicious duck necks hide at the back of the classroom, facing each other, feeling as spicy as a panting dog for the whole lesson, and also made Sasha stay in a happy mood all day long.

She relied on nibbling chili peppers to escape the pain of leaving her mentor.

Bai Wei treated everyone to a table full of spicy dishes. He was more accustomed to Huaiyang cuisine, but he could handle Sichuan cuisine too.

When Sasha’s gaze landed on the hot pot with red chili oil, Bai Wei knew she couldn’t move her feet anymore.

"What if you poison me?" Sasha remained vigilant.

"I’ll eat it too, so if there’s poison, I’ll die first," Bai Wei said.

"I can’t trust someone who hides their identity," Sasha didn’t succumb to the temptation of food.

Bai Wei took off his mask, revealing his true appearance, "Is this better?"

Sasha carefully looked at Bai Wei and confirmed that he was indeed a person from the Ming Country, young and good-looking.

The subtle style from the East really appeals to her because her mentor is of that type – reserved and subtle.

"You may not know, but I am not afraid of poison," said Sasha as she sat down. "If you try to poison me, it won’t work."

Bai Wei said, "Please, go ahead."

Sasha casually asked, "Why didn’t you give me a sword and fork? Only chopsticks?"

Bai Wei said, "I am from the East, we don’t use those, and chopsticks have been popular in Europa for a long time, haven’t they?"

Sasha calmly said, "Many ordinary people use chopsticks, but the Bloodline still prefers knives and forks. It’s common knowledge."

"You can’t eat vegetables without chopsticks, and how do you eat peanuts with a sword and fork?" Bai Wei said, his expression showing confusion and sweat on his forehead.

"Do you think I’m trying to make things difficult for you?" Sasha said. "For many years, I hardly ever use chopsticks."

Bai Wei wondered, "Why? As a diplomat, Sasha, you probably wouldn’t be unfamiliar with chopsticks."

"I can, but many people think I can’t." Sasha twirled the chopsticks in her hand. "One famous example is when I attended some diplomatic banquets. The utensils prepared for me were always knives and forks, because of my high bloodline status and my position as a chief executive and leader of the Capesh clan. But at an Eastern banquet, I ended up being the center of attention, having to awkwardly demonstrate how to eat Chinese food with a sword and fork. I was even mistaken as an arrogant traditionalist, when it’s clear that chopsticks were actually promoted by my teacher. How could I not know how to use them?"

Bai Wei was very interested. "Is there more to this? How embarrassing was it? Tell me more."

Sasha replied sarcastically, "Do you think I’m delighted to be telling you about my embarrassing history?"

Bai Wei asked, "Isn’t it?"

Sasha responded coldly, "I was furious. After that incident, I had to use knives and forks in public occasions, and I even learned how to eat Chinese food with them. I practiced it."

Bai Wei exclaimed, "Impressive, impressive." He clapped his hands. "Now, let’s see you use the chopsticks."

Sasha picked up a piece of sliced boiled meat. "How did you know that I can use chopsticks?"

"I don’t know." Bai Wei blinked innocently. "I don’t know you that well, Sasha."

"You don’t know? Yet you have the audacity to call me by my name? You’re not aware, but you went through all the trouble to prepare over twenty spicy dishes? Do you think I haven’t tasted Ming Country cuisine before?" Sasha snorted, puncturing Bai Wei’s cleverness. "I like spicy food, many people know that. It’s not a secret. You were able to find out that I like spicy food, but you couldn’t find any information about ‘me only using knives and forks’?"

Bai Wei asked, "Is it possible that I actually know you can use chopsticks?"

"Absolutely not…" Sasha changed her mind, "Did you think I would deny it? I was actually going to ask you how you knew."

"Guessing."

"Lie."

"It’s not difficult to guess, just like you said, the mentor promoted chopsticks, so it’s normal for you to know how to use them." Bai Wei cleverly avoided the trap.

Sasha took a bite of the meat and the spicy flavor spread on her tongue, stimulating her senses. "It tastes good, where did you get it?"

"I made it myself."

"No wonder you’re from the Ming Country, you can both eat and cook." Sasha ate quickly but still maintained her elegance. She wiped off the red chili oil from the corner of her mouth. "I was intentionally testing you just now, and I didn’t expect you to remain tight-lipped."

"Why did you want to test my identity? Was I not sincere enough?"

"You are too mysterious, holding onto this piece of Broken Paradise. Of course, I have to find out who you are, at least I can be sure that you are not an official from the Ming Country."

Sasha threw the beef roll into the hot pot, watching the beef slices rise and fall. She continued to ask, "You said that you are from Black Rose. Do you still insist on this and won’t change your mind?"

"Are you still doubting even if you ask like this?" Bai Wei asked. "Is it because Black Rose doesn’t have any men?"

"Members of Black Rose are all females, except for the founder who is male. He is an exception and lived five hundred years ago. He could create the black roses, something far beyond the reach of someone like you, a little rascal," Sasha thought. She actually guessed who the creator was, and it couldn’t be the young man in front of her. They were too different.

Bai Wei opened his mouth, and at this moment, he needed to be able to cover up with a "I lied."

But after thinking about it, he decided to be honest with Sasha. "What if I insist that I am?"

"Then you are telling an unnecessary lie. You can eat this meal by yourself," Sasha said unhappily.

Then she picked up the cooked beef and put it in a bowl, taking a leisurely bite and showing a satisfied expression.

Unhappy with her words, but honest with her body.

Bai Wei reached out with his chopsticks to scoop up a piece, but she opened it.

"You have to cook it yourself!"

"I did cook it…"

"No, you didn’t!"

This habit of guarding food hasn’t changed at all.

Liliana also has this habit, perhaps from being a slave and experiencing hunger. She knows the need to protect and snatch food, it has become instinctual.

Bai Wei reluctantly had to eat some other vegetables instead. The taste was good, and her mood improved.

The trouble with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom was completely resolved, and she could finally sit face to face with Sasha and enjoy a hot pot meal, eating something delicious.

Life needs rewards, just like how a car needs fuel. You’re not a machine, you need to relax and unwind.

At that time, there was no one more suitable than her, even if she didn’t say anything.

Bai Wei took out a bottle of alcohol and shook it in front of Sasha, "Want to have some?"

"I don’t drink alcohol," Sasha politely declined, as she wasn’t accustomed to drinking with strangers.

Bai Wei didn’t mind, poured a glass of alcohol, and drank it himself. The alcohol didn’t intoxicate him but made him self-absorbed.

He wasn’t a heavy drinker and had never gotten drunk. Even without drinking, he naturally had a high tolerance for alcohol.

Being intoxicated was merely a state of relaxation and laziness in the mind.

Bai Wei raised his glass, looking at Sasha who was enjoying her food. The colorful light refracted through the glass seemed to transcend time and revealed familiar yet nostalgic memories. Even memories could fade like old photos, but she still shimmered in his memories.

"You…"

Hearing her voice, Bai Wei moved his glass aside and noticed the complicated expression in Sasha’s eyes.

Completely unaware that his actions and habits were becoming similar to the past, he ignored the habit of his behavior.

"Give me a drink too," Sasha broke the silence.

"No," Bai Wei said seriously, "Drinking is for adults."

With a drink in hand, he crossed over five hundred seasons.
