Chapter 68: Fragrant wind and cold touch
The intoxicating aroma lingered on Xie Jinzhu's body.
Even Ning Feng was almost intoxicated.
"Hey, little brother, what are you looking at here alone?"
Taking the gin and tonic from the bartender's hand, Xie Jinzhu used his extremely slender fingers to smooth the hair in front of his forehead. His beautiful eyes looked sideways and saw Ning Feng's serious expression.
Following Ning Feng's line of sight, Xie Jinzhu looked up at the TV screen hanging above the bar, which was still playing reports about Luo Ling's death.
"Just a dead scapegoat."
Xie Jinzhu drank half a cup of gin and tonic in one gulp, and the wine left little glistening traces on the corners of her mouth, which was particularly tempting.
After simply wiping it with a tissue, she looked at Ning Feng with interest again,
"What, do you know this Luo Ling?"
"In my opinion, it was most likely someone who had a personal grudge against him. I heard that when he died, all his powers were taken away."
"I don't know how angry those old guys at the top of the Luo Group are. They lost the things they worked so hard to get so easily."
Xie Jinzhu spoke without any hesitation, as if he was talking about something very common.
"It's tragic to say that Luo Ling is still trying to win the right to be the successor, right? He really treats the abilities stored in him as personal belongings..."
And her light tone sounded like thunder in Ning Feng's ears,
"Luo Ling was not the mastermind behind seizing the [Honkai] power?! He was just a container to temporarily store the power?"
For a moment, Ning Feng was overwhelmed with emotions. He had regarded Luo Ling as his biggest enemy for a long time.
Years of hard work, just to get revenge one day!
But Xie Jinzhu's words were tantamount to telling him that there was someone else behind the tragedy!
"That's right! When the incident happened, Luo Ling was still the criticized waste of the Roche Group. How could he have so much energy to bribe the media and cover up the truth..."
“Only the top management of Roche Group can do this!”
Ning Feng, who was paralyzed by hatred, suddenly realized at this moment, but immediately after, his heart tightened!
"What does Xie Jinzhu mean by saying this in front of me..."
He raised his head, his expression unchanged on the surface, but deep in his eyes, he was already on guard.
[Unexpected] [Ice Controlling] Two abilities are brewing at the same time. Once Xie Jinzhu makes any move in front of him, he can counterattack instantly!
"Little brother, I haven't seen you much in Castine. Are you new?"
After talking to himself for a long time, Xie Jinzhu had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and his red lips were moist and shiny due to drinking.
Her smiling eyes were as curved as a puddle of autumn water.
Holding on to the bar with one hand, he turned sideways and looked at Ning Feng,
"What's the point of drinking here? Is the news about Luo Ling so good? Come, talk to my sister, it's more interesting."
"Still..."
Before Xie Jinzhu finished speaking, he mixed the last two sips of the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.
He leaned forward and put his hand on Ning Feng's neck, slowly sliding down from top to bottom.
The cold touch touched Ning Feng's nerves.
The carefree Xie Jinzhu in front of him was completely opposite to the cold and silent image of [Seven Sins].
"Still..."
Xie Jinzhu's fingers stopped on Ning Feng's chest.
Then, she stood up from the bar chair, stepped forward, and approached Ning Feng.
She lowered her head slightly and put her red lips close to Ning Feng's ear.
"Huh..."
Xie Jinzhu blew a breath,
"Or, little brother, you have a lot to do with Luo Ling's death..."
For a moment, her tone was full of charm and a touch of threat.
As he leaned closer, the fragrance on Xie Jinzhu's body became even stronger.
But Ning Feng didn't pay attention at all at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly and he was silent for a moment. He did not respond to Xie Jinzhu's words. On the contrary, he turned around, raised his head slightly, and met his eyes.
The distance between their heads was only a punch.
In this ambiguous distance, Ning Feng showed a harmless smile, covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Who would have thought that the most mysterious Seven Sins of Desire in Dragon City would be a woman who comes to the bar every day. Sure enough, none of the rumors can be believed."
After Ning Feng said that, he also stood up from his seat in front of the bar. There was only half a glass of whiskey left.
Both sides test each other until the point is reached.
Afterwards, Ning Feng said nothing, passed by Xie Jinzhu, and walked towards the door of Kasdin Bar.
bell.
The doorbell rang, and Ning Feng stood at the door. He did not leave immediately, but turned around and stared meaningfully at Xie Jinzhu,
He said: "This pub is not bad. I will come here often in the future and we will meet again."
The words fell and the figure disappeared.
Xie Jinzhu was left alone, standing at the edge of the bar, with a charming smile on his face.
Tread.
The crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor was heard. Xie Jinzhu turned around and glanced at Ning Feng's remaining glass of whiskey on the bar.
Under the surprised gaze of the bartender behind the bar, he picked up the wine glass and shook the wine in the glass slightly in front of him.
The wine glass in his hand and the glasses on his face reflected each other.
The smile on Xie Jinzhu's face disappeared, replaced by a cold look that kept strangers away.
"It seems that there will be a good show soon..."
"But before that..."
Xie Jinzhu put down the glass in his hand and looked calmly at the bartender behind the bar.
The two looked at each other for just two seconds without saying a word.
The bartender frowned, then nodded heavily.
I put down my work, washed my hands, and asked my colleague on the other side to take over.
Then, following the direction Ning Feng left, he also left the bar.
"The old people are dying, new people are emerging, Dragon City is peaceful in a corner, and it will eventually be involved in the storm..."
Xie Jinzhu chuckled lightly and said to the bartender who took over:
"Another gin and tonic."
"Add more ice."
…………
"Despite this contact, I have already become familiar with the entire process through the accidental deduction beforehand."
“But when we actually meet face to face, we are still a little surprised.”
"Xie Jinzhu is definitely the most incomprehensible of all the superpowers I have seen so far."
"But one thing is certain. The relationship between her, the Seven Sins, and the Luo Group is by no means simple. It is even very likely that they are in opposing camps..."
"I have to take advantage of this. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
After leaving Castine Bar, Ning Feng walked along the sidewalk.
Then, when you immediately leave the pedestrian street where Castin is located, turn around and walk into a dead end alleyway on the left.
A few crows rested on the wall at the end of the alley. They were not disturbed by Ning Feng's arrival.
Standing in the alley, Ning Feng unzipped his casual jacket.
Turn your back to the rear exit and tap your fingers in front of you.
"After following for a while, you can come out."
"You have to show up, hurry up. After all, I'm very busy."
