Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2290: Chapter 2291: A Friendship Forged Too Late

Look at our Commander-in-Chief, without mentioning anything else, his drinking capacity is definitely one of the best.

The night deepens, and many who wanted to compete in drinking with Xue An ended up getting so drunk themselves they staggered away.

The banquet gradually reached its conclusion.

Although drinking was allowed at this banquet, these soldiers remained very restrained, only having a few drinks before voluntarily leaving to return to the Yue Clan’s Training Ground.

Xue An sat at the host’s seat, sipping his wine slowly.

By now, he had drunk countless glasses, yet his eyes stayed as clear as ever.

Now they were as captivating as two bright full moons.

Some young girls from the Yue Clan hadn’t left yet, instead hiding far away while pointing at Xue An, occasionally casting adoring glances his way.

After all, whether talent or appearance, Xue An was undeniably exceptional.

Young boys admire, young girls yearn.

The Yue Clan’s girls were no exception.

But at this moment, a graceful silhouette seated itself next to Xue An.

Upon seeing her, those distant girls’ expressions darkened and they dispersed.

For no other reason but the gap was too big, competing was simply impossible!

Xue An didn’t even turn his head because by her footsteps alone he knew who it was.

"Still awake?"

"Aren’t you the same?"

"Hehe, today suddenly inspired my interest in drinking, so I decided to indulge!" Xue An said with a smile.

Yue Qinghuan showed a gentle smile, a glow flashing in her pale purple eyes, "Shall I join you for a drink?"

"You?" Xue An glanced at Yue Qinghuan, then noticed she had changed into a new dress.

Like flowing soft smoke and blue-green vines, the light green chiffon gown cascaded down, gathered sharply at the waist in a breathtaking curve.

Below, her barely visible long legs made one’s heart race.

Beneath the gown, her flawless feet were unblemished, pure as jade.

One must admit, after dressing up, Yue Qinghuan’s beauty almost rivaled An Yan’s, truly a goddess acknowledged by the younger generation of the Bing Family.

Even Xue An couldn’t help but flash a moment of amazement in his eyes.

Upon sensing Xue An’s gaze, Yue Qinghuan’s cheeks flushed slightly, she turned her head away, half reproachfully, half joyfully said, "What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen?"

Xue An chuckled softly, then redirected his gaze and stopped looking.

For some reason, Yue Qinghuan felt a hollow emptiness within, regretting her earlier harsh words.

She reached out her delicate hand to pour the wine for both Xue An and herself.

"Come on, I’ll drink a couple of cups with you!"

Xue An smiled, took the cup in hand, and downed it in one gulp.

"Hey, do you always drink this fast?"

"What else?"

"Isn’t it better to sip slowly to savor the flavor?"

"That’s for others, I drink by gulping!"

Yue Qinghuan: "...."

Xue An looked at her with an ambiguous smile, "If you find it too fast, you can sip slowly!"

"Who says I can’t!"

Yue Qinghuan bit her lips and tilted her head back, draining the cup all at once.

The rich wine flowed down her throat into her stomach, then a flame ignited on her face, even her pale purple eyes showing a hint of drunkenness.

Xue An was slightly startled.

Just one cup, and this is her tolerance?

But Yue Qinghuan seemed oblivious, and after drinking, her demeanor suddenly became bold as if the governor and conception vessels had been unlocked.

"Drinking like this is great, let’s continue!"

Without waiting for Xue An to stop her, she filled her cup again.

After this cup, the drunkenness in her eyes deepened, yet she still wanted to pour more.

Xue An took the cup directly, "Enough, you’re drinking too fast!"

"Hehe, isn’t that what you taught me!" Yue Qinghuan laughed.

By this time, everyone else had wisely left, even Yue Junze, trying to sneak a peek, was forcefully dragged away by his father.

The sprawling banquet hall had only Xue An and Yue Qinghuan left.

Xue An said calmly, "I am me, you are you, I drink this way and don’t get drunk, but you’re different!"

"Isn’t getting drunk good? When drunk... you won’t feel pain." Yue Qinghuan muttered softly.

Xue An lifted his eyes to glance at her, Yue Qinghuan’s expression remained tranquil.

"I’ve known from the beginning that you’d never accept me, right?"

Xue An nodded.

Yue Qinghuan laughed, her eyes glistening with tears.

"You are a good man, really, the only pity is we met too late!"

Xue An remained silent.

"You should know my background, right?" Yue Qinghuan whispered.

"I’ve heard a little."

"Hehe, are you surprised? Surprised I’m not part of the Human Clan?"

"No."

"No need to explain, I’ve always known truth, even my presence feels like a mistake! My brother is about to undergo a ritual and I cannot bear the burden of the Yue Clan’s fate; were it not for you, after this Military Exercise, the Yue Clan would have succumbed to decline!"

"Do you think... I am incompetent?"

Xue An shook his head, "No!"

"No need to comfort me, I actually understand everything, just unwilling to voice it!"

Yue Qinghuan leaned against the chair, "The first time in life I felt moved by someone, yet it ended without a trace, somewhat laughable wasn’t it!"

As she spoke, she laughed, yet tears cascaded from her eyes.

"You’re drunk, let’s go!" Xue An stood to leave.

"I’m not drunk, will you stay with me awhile?" Yue Qinghuan suddenly said.

Xue An paused, then sat back down.

"What are your plans after the Military Exercise?" Yue Qinghuan suddenly asked.

"First try to heal your brother, then pursue my enemies."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qinghuan’s eyes gleamed.

"What if you can’t find them?"

"Impossible not to find, even if I have to search the entire Sky Beyond the Skies, I will hunt them down!" As he said this, Xue An’s face was full of determination.

Yue Qinghuan stared blankly, then refilled her wine, "Then I wish you success in your quest!"

"Same to you!"

In the quiet of the night, the wine glasses were empty.

Xue An gazed at Yue Qinghuan lying motionless on the table, suddenly sighed softly.

"Yan’er, come on over!"

Shortly, laughter echoed from the air, and soon An Yan, who hadn’t appeared for a long time, revealed herself.

Seeing the drunken Yue Qinghuan, she couldn’t help but sigh.

"This girl, she truly trusts you!"

Indeed!

Such a beautiful girl, alone in a deserted banquet hall, drunk like this, it was an immense temptation for any man.

Xue An didn’t spare another glance, simply said, "Alright, help her out, or delaying will damage her reputation!"

After speaking, Xue An turned around and left first.
