Regaining her senses, Xia Ge quickly helped up the barmaid back to her feet, asking: “Are you alright?”

The barmaid’s face had gone pale: “Not really……but thank you, young sir……”

“Can you walk?” Her mind not really on the barmaid, Xia Ge stole a strained look at Gu Peijiu, who was still facing off with the two demonic boys.

“I can walk……”

“Xia Wuyin, get her out of here,” Gu Peijiu cast Xia Ge a sideways glance, her voice shallow.

Xia Ge rushed to obey, keeping a close eye on the two boys as she helped the barmaid out the doorway behind Gu Peijiu.

 

 

“Thank you for rescuing me.”

Safely out of the tavern, the barmaid sighed with relief, although her expression was still slightly scared, “If it wasn’t for……”

“I know, I know, I’m not the one who truly saved you.  If it wasn’t for that bigshot in there, we’d all be done for.”  Grinning a little, Xia Ge scratched the back of her head, “But, if you really want thank me, how about the next time I come, the wine is on the house?”

“Naturally.”

Before Xia Ge could register her elation over free wine in the future, the barmaid gave Xia Ge a bashful smile, her eyes roaming over Xia Ge’s body: “Speaking of wine, I have a ten-year-old jar of Nu’er Hong.  Would the young man like to try a taste?”

Xia Ge: “……”

Covering her mouth, the barmaid chuckled lightly: “Don’t be afraid, young man.  My wine is also free.”

No, no, no, young lady, it’s not a question of money……

System: [Tsk, Tsk, Tsk……]

Xia Ge: “……mmm, Taoyuan Tavern’s peach blossom wine is very good, I think Nu’er Hong wine might be too much for me……I feel very drunk already……Ah, young lady, please quickly find someplace to hide.  The situation is too volatile here—”

“Still, the young man must give his name to this humble girl.”

The barmaid took Xia Ge’s hand in her own, wrists white, voice soft.

“Um, my, my, my……hahaha, my name is Xia Ge, Ge as in ‘song’ and Xia as in ‘summer’……singing a summer song……young lady, you should really hurry and get somewhere safe—–”

“But the young man hasn’t asked for my name yet.”

Fuck, wanting to switch positions?  Was this ‘humble girl’ behavior?

The touch of the barmaid’s hands was making Xia Ge’s body tremble all over.  Encountering this type of warfare for the first time, Xia Ge awkwardly laughed: “……right, what’s your name?”

System: [Oh, Oh, Oh, ‘The Tables Have Turned’ Scene.]

Xia Ge: “……”

“This humble girl’s name is Mo Quiran.”  The barmaid pursed her lips, then smiled: “Next time the young man must come to my house for a drink.”

 

 

 

But while Xia Ge and the barmaid were engaging in a tug and pull of trite flirtations outside, inside the tavern tensions boiled, a showdown imminent.

“Brother, they’ve all ran away.”

Still holding half a string of the white paper needles, the boy’s voice was sullen: “The white blades didn’t kill them all, the white blades are too useless—”

“Pay it no mind, brother.”

Another juvenile voice rang out, tender and affectionate.  The boy with the blanched piccolo consoled: “Brother will help you kill every last one of them.”

Hearing this, Gu Peijiu’s eyes abruptly sharpened, her ayara rising above her head and flying toward the two boys!

Bang—–

The impact of the ayara swept the brothers off their seats, breaking the table and chairs.  What should be soft like silk was now as sharp and implacable as a weapon’s edge.  The two boys leapt away at the same time, though in opposite directions.  Yet Gu Peijiu’s offensive was fierce, and it caught the boy with the paper needles before he could dodge it, also knocking off his hat.  Now, in the bright candlelight of the tavern, his pale face could be clearly seen.

He looked to be about a seven or eight-year-old, obviously childish, but with exceptionally huge eyes, soulless black pupils, and red lips set against a deathly pallor, making him look like a ghost from the netherworld.

“Ah……very angry, daring to sweep me away like that—-”

“Brother, brother,” Bairen’s words tinkled, “I’m so angry—-”

Under his hat, Bai Luo’s eyes slightly narrowed.  He put the piccolo in his hands to his lips.

Gu Peijiu raised a hand, her ayara instantly folding in mid-air, rushing towards Bai Luo’s head!

Bai Luo evaded it, breathing into his flute, and immediately penetratingly cold and gloomy music sounded!  Eerie undulations begin to expand out with each note of the flute, one right after the other.

The white piccolo was summoning puppets!

Pupils shrinking, Gu Peijiu’s ayara abruptly folded in on itself, and then with a flash of shadow, she was outside the tavern—-

 

 

With great difficulty, Xia Ge had finally managed to send Mo Quiran off.  But before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, her collar tightened about her neck, her body was seized, and she was carried into the air—-

“……what……?  Oh?”

With gusting winds hitting her smack in the face, Xia Ge was unable to speak, but there was the familiar fragrance of peach blossom wine and the crisp scent of sandalwood, mingling together to create a unique aroma.

……Senior Sister?

This…this…this, were they running away?
