Chapter 6: 6. Scramble for a Bottle of Wine

Xue Ji raised her wine bottle. When she was about to drink it, suddenly someone snatched the bottle from her. Her eyes immediately widened when she saw the man she was avoiding now appeared in front of her.

Maybe it was because she was still influenced by her previous emotions that she felt very angry. "What are you doing?!" she shouted in protest. "Give it back to me!"

The man then casually sat on the opposite chair, staring at her with narrowed eyes. "How old are you?"

"I won't tell you," Xue Ji said coldly. She turned her head to the street outside the tavern, reluctant to look at Bai Xiu or else she wouldn't be able to bear to strangle the man.

"I mean, if you're a minor you shouldn't drink alcohol," the man continued, then deliberately downed some wine for himself.

Xue Ji glanced at him and felt even angrier. She hadn't even drunk the wine yet, but that damn Bai Xiu had already drunk it. Besides, she couldn't possibly admit she was old in front of him.

Thinking of that injustice made her annoyance soar even higher. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You bastard!"

The corners of Bai Xiu's eyebrows shot up sideways. After all these years he finally heard someone cursing him right in front of him. This sensation feels very refreshing. Instead of being angry, he was actually happy.

"Say it one more time," he said.

"You jerk! You old bastard!"

The man suddenly laughed, making Xue Ji frown in displeasure. "Why are you laughing?!"

Finally, Bai Xiu's laughter died down. He took a deep breath. The mask on his face made it impossible for others to read his expression. But if pays close attention, other people will be able to feel the sadness in his eyes.

"How nice it would be to be able to curse people freely."

Xue Ji didn't understand what Bai Xiu meant. Does the man want to curse and speak harshly but can't do it?

She just snorted, then her food order came. Hunger makes her not want to think about other things that are not important. Without hesitation, she immediately took the chopsticks and ate the dumpling noodles ordered.

When the food was successfully chewed and swallowed, she felt truly alive. Unconsciously she smiled, until the man asked, "Does it taste so good?" Maybe he was surprised to see her expression that looked like someone who had never been fed.

"Just try it yourself!!" Xue Ji replied curtly without looking at him, too lazy.

Suddenly the man took over another bowl. Xue Ji immediately glared fiercely. She did order two bowls, but they weren't meant for anyone else!

"You …."

Bai Xiu was curious about the food of the human world. He didn't notice Xue Ji's expression and selfishly ate the wonton noodles. At first, it felt a little strange, the food of the human world turned out to be too seasoned, had too strong spices. But after a few mouthfuls, he felt it was quite acceptable.

"Tch!" Xue Ji secretly mocked. Why did she have to meet someone like this?

Suddenly the man asked, "Did you just cry?"

"No," Xue Ji answered quickly. Then the man didn't ask anymore, just kept quiet to eat.

Xue Ji's attention was now on the wine bottle lying on the table. She quickly took it for safekeeping, while the man was off guard. However, Bai Xiu suddenly moved quickly to parry her hand. The wine bottle slipped from her hand.

Xue Ji's expression was full of surprise. She glared again, while the man smirked. "It's not that easy, Girl."

The wine bottle slid down. Before it hit the floor, Bai Xiu's legs lifted, kicking the wine bottle so fast it slid upwards. The man immediately caught it.

This time Xue Ji didn't just let it go. She attacked Bai Xiu, using her martial skills to snatch the wine bottle. The bottle was thrown from one hand to the other. Instantly the scene at the dining table turned into a contest for a bottle of wine.

Kicks and punches they mustered at each other. They looked equal even though Xue Ji knew Bai Xiu wasn't really trying. The man seemed to be just investigating her abilities.

It was indeed true that Bai Xiu was investigating Xue Ji's abilities. He wanted to check the girl's identity. However, after exchanging blows several times, he realized that Xue Ji's body was indeed weak. It's not a pretense.

Xue Ji's body was indeed weak because it wasn't her real body. Yet she is not truly pure without power. Actually, her soul had already been forged in the spirit world, she possessed quite a terrifying soul power.

Unfortunately, she didn't dare to use that power again. Previously she had already used her soul power to kill the wolves at the peak of Bing An. If she used soul power again the gods in the upper world would know her whereabouts.

Even the suspected that this Bai Xiu had come to the peak of Bing An because he felt a trace of her soul force. Perhaps because at the peak of Bing An earlier there were only her and the group of disciples of the Luo Mountain Sword Sect, that was why Bai Xiu suspected her more than that group of disciples.

Whatever it was, Xue Ji had already decided, she would not use her soul force again unless it was urgent. Right now she wanted to slowly find out where her real body was, she had to retrieve her body.

But before that, first, she had to find out the identity of the girl who had contributed to lending her a body. That way she could keep her promise to take revenge.

At this time the fight for the bottle of wine was still going on. Other people, who saw them whispered in surprise, "Could they be lovers who are fighting?"

"I do not know. But if that's true, that girl seems very aggressive."

Xue Ji who heard the whisper immediately turned her head, then glared at the person who had just spoken. "Am I so aggressive? Yeah, what if I'm aggressive? Do you want to feel it in bed too?!"

The person who had just spoken was a man in his late twenties. The man smiled shyly and replied, "Sorry. I'm afraid it will offend your lover, Young Lady."

Xue Ji snorted. "Lover? Your ass lover! This man is just a freak who wants to cling to me like a leech."

She quipped at Bai Xiu, calling him a leech. But the party who was being quipped did not feel offended at all. Bai Xiu just looked at her in surprise.

"Girl, I wonder why your mouth can be so wild? You're not even twenty yet, but why do you dare say things about bed matters so openly?" Bai Xiu asked.

Xue Ji's breathing rose and fell irregularly, she stared fiercely at Bai Xiu. "Up to me! That is none of your business!"

Now she wasn't in the mood to enjoy her food anymore. So she immediately stood up and called the waiter to pay the bill. However, after the amount was stated, she realized that she did not have the money to pay.
