Chapter 362: The Dark Presence
Xing looked around the big room that resembled their throne room and there were a series of lanterns painted with the blue Dragon hanging from the wall to brighten the place.
Chenglei was sitting beside Xing to her right and in a table filled with various delicacies of the sea, he found himself immersed in feeding her by peeling off the shells and picking off the bones of the unfortunate sea creatures that were fated to be her food that night.
She needs to fatten up a bit! And... Look at her gobbling up strong liquor like water! He frowned.
All Xing was interested was the honey coloured alcohol they served that was really strong. She had never tasted it before and she really liked the burning sensation as it travelled inside her stomach but was interrupted by the coldness emitting from her right. Her eyes widened as she turned to see the deep eyes looking at her with displeasure.
"Eat before you drink!", he whispered gritting his teeth and as Xing opened her mouth to retort, she was stuffed in her mouth with a prawn that really did go well with her alcohol.
"Okay", she nodded and with one mouth of food and one gulp of alcohol she really enjoyed dinner. In the big hall only the clattering noise of the chopsticks was heard as they followed a tradition of not speaking while they eat.
For Xing’s dismay that ended her alcohol consumption premature before she even got a little drunk. Chenglei shook his head to see her pouting like a wronged kid when they removed the wine jar while cleaning the tables.
This woman really loves alcohol, doesn’t she?
He already planned to start collecting best wines for when she starts living with him. It is true he cannot drink and so he doesn’t have much collections of wine. What if she runs away to other men, like that Zhong Seiren for their company to drink with? He will bring all the good wine to their home and she could get drunk in their home all she wants.
Good! Chenglei patted himself for the plans he came up with and his eyes darted to Takanashi sitting opposite to them who held back on his drinks and was still leering at the woman by his side. He had a odd prideful look in his eyes as if he was sure he’d succeed in convincing the Ouyang Navy to join him.
When Takanashi noticed Chenglei’s glare he just sneered at him making Chenglei’s blood boil and his fists clenched. He can only kill that Takanashi here without repercussions but this woman forbade him.
The moment they step back to the seas and enter the territory of the three kingdoms, Kei Takanashi is a Prince and him, Li ChengNuo is a mere rich businessman who has no titles to go with it even though he is the Rui Wang of the Wind Kingdom. He can kill Takanashi secretly but it will definitely affect the peace his brother tries to keep with the Water Kingdom.And in public, he’ll have to be submissive to the likes of Kei Takanashi since he is of lower status to him. And his wife must be submissive to the likes of such person too. He never thought about it till now.
