Martial Arts Crossover: Zhao Min, your sidekick is really something else.

Xiao Yao was hungry early in the morning.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Zhao Min and started shoveling food into the pot with his chopsticks.

The meat was cooked, so I put it in my mouth and chewed it.

The meat tasted really good, much better than what I ate before I transmigrated here. At least this mutton was of the real deal.

The dipping sauce was a bit lacking... Oh well, what's there to complain about?

Eat as much as you want!

Zhao Min couldn't sit still after eating. She never expected that Xiao Yaoqing would show her absolutely no respect.

"Hey! Xiao Yaoqing, you have to save me a piece, right?"

"I just put them in, and you scooped them all up? Why didn't you just eat them raw?!"

"Xiao Yaoqing, I told you to save me a piece, did you hear me!"

Xiao Yaoqing completely ignored her.

Seeing this, Zhao Min stopped arguing with him, rolled up her sleeves, and started grabbing the food from him.

They devoured the meal, the two of them shoving it back and forth, and before they knew it, their relationship had undergone a subtle change.

With their stomachs full, the two finally slowed down and were able to enjoy a couple of drinks.

Zhao Min picked up her cup, gently touched Xiao Yaoqing's cup on the table, and asked him:

"I know this might be considered your secret, but I'm still curious."

Xiao Yaoqing picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and looked at her, asking:

What do you want to know?

"I just want to know, you're not that much older than me, so how did you develop such amazing martial arts skills?"

As she spoke, Zhao Min also took a sip of wine and continued:

"Your master must be very proud to have a disciple like you, right?"

Xiao Yaoqing looked at her, smiled, and shook his head:

"If I told you I don't have a master at all, would you believe me?"

He wasn't lying at all. His martial arts skills were all directly implanted into his brain by the system; he hadn't practiced them for a single day from beginning to end.

But Zhao Min laughed when she heard this:

"If I say I don't believe you, are you planning to lie to me?"

Xiao Yaoqing shrugged:

"Sigh...that's just how people are. No one believes you when you tell the truth, and there's nothing you can do about it."

"cut!"

Seeing his expression, Zhao Min's smile only deepened.

She waved her hand dismissively: "Who would believe you! Fine, don't tell me then, let's drink!"

After saying that, he filled his own cup again.

To be honest, Zhao Min is really beautiful. Although she's cunning, you could also call her clever.

Moreover, she has a unique and adorable charm.

If this were in the old world, Xiao Yaoqing might have even considered pursuing a girl like this.

But things are different now.

Xiao Yaoqing didn't say much, picked up his glass: "Let's drink!"

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Zhao Min's face was flushed red from the alcohol, her body swayed, and her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yaoqing.

She didn't say a word, she just stared at him.

Xiao Yaoqing felt a little uneasy under their gaze.

He couldn't help but ask, "What are you staring at like that?"

Zhao Min slowly opened her mouth, her voice tinged with drunkenness: "Why do I feel... I'm liking you more and more?"

Xiao Yaoqing's mind went blank.

What the heck?!

Even my dad couldn't carry me on his back forty-six consecutive times.

Zhao Min repeated, "I feel like I'm liking you more and more!"

Xiao Yaoqing spat out a mouthful of wine.

"What did you say?!"

What did that girl just say?

Do you like him?

Are you kidding me!

This doesn't make sense!

That's absolutely outrageous.

Shouldn't you be interested in Zhang Wuji?

That's not how the story goes.

Didn't Zhao Min meet Zhang Wuji when she was a child?

At that time, Zhang Wuji was captured by the Xuanming Elders, and Zhao Min went with those two old men.

She saw the stubbornness in Zhang Wuji's eyes—his unwillingness to admit defeat and his refusal to bow his head.

She felt that this kid was definitely going to be extraordinary in the future.

As a result, Zhang Wuji immediately called her a bad person.

She slapped him several times on the spot.

The kid didn't utter a sound or beg for mercy.

From that moment on, Zhao Min had some inexplicable feelings for Zhang Wuji.

But she's only known him for a few days now?

How dare you say you cherish yourself?

Xiao Yaoqing stared at Zhao Min, whose face was flushed, and tentatively asked, "Princess, what kind of 'rare' are you referring to?"

He still held onto a sliver of hope.

Hopefully, what Zhao Min is talking about isn't something between men and women.

But is it really that simple?

Zhao Min was clearly quite drunk.

Anger flashed across her face, and she shouted, seemingly out of context, "I don't want to marry Zha Yadu! I hate him!"

"But that Seventh Prince insists I marry his son!"

"I refuse to marry Zha Ya Du!"

"Well……"

Looking at Zhao Min, who was no longer listening to anything, Xiao Yaoqing comforted himself, "Forget it, she must be drunk and just talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

But he forgot the saying, "In vino veritas" (or "in vino veritas").

Perhaps Xiao Yaoqing deliberately avoided thinking about that matter.

He patted Zhao Min on the shoulder: "Princess, you're drunk. Let's go back."

"Am I drunk?"

Zhao Min groggily raised her head, a self-deprecating smile on her face. "That's right, I drank too much... I don't know how long it's been since I've had such a refreshing drink."

After saying that, she turned around abruptly and yelled at the counter, "Waiter, the bill!"

Then "plop"

With a thud, he slumped onto the table.

Xiao Yaoqing was stunned.

What is that?

You slumped over the table after you shouted "Check, please!"

This looks like they're trying to renege on their debt!

You promised to treat us!

How could a princess do something like skipping out on her bill? She has no shame at all!

The waiter had already reached their table. He glanced at Zhao Min, who seemed to be passed out drunk, and turned to ask Xiao Yaoqing, "Sir, would you like to settle the bill here?"

Xiao Yaoqing nodded, stood up, walked to Zhao Min's side, and gave her a hard shove: "Hey, stop pretending to be asleep, get up and pay the bill."

"Well……"

Zhao Min slowly raised her head, her eyes unfocused, glancing at Xiao Yaoqing and then at the waiter, "Check, please..."

He mumbled something indistinctly, then "thump."

They lay back down.

I'm truly impressed.

Xiao Yaoqing felt like vomiting blood when he saw the waiter's eyes.

He secretly vowed to himself: I will never go out to eat with this woman again, and I will never let her drink alcohol during meals!

There was no other way but to pay for it myself.

Fortunately, the loose silver coins he had were originally given to him by Zhao Min.

All things considered, it's not a loss.

After paying the bill, Xiao Yaoqing had another headache.

Zhao Min was lying unconscious on the table. How could we send her back to Green Willow Manor?

He nudged Zhao Min again: "The money's already paid, can you get up now?"

This time, Zhao Min didn't react at all.

"Uh...looks like he's really drunk."

What else can we do?

Xiao Yaoqing had no choice but to squat down and carry the person on his back.

Save your energy.

He muttered to himself, "If you can't hold your liquor, don't drink. Drinking so much just causes trouble for others!"

They definitely drank quite a bit tonight.

They drank from dusk until midnight.

Xiao Yaoqing also discovered that the alcohol content of the wine brewed in this era was really not very high.

He was slightly tipsy, but not drunk at all; he would sober up after taking a piss.

But Zhao Min is different.

By now, she's probably already in her second round of dreams.

Stepping out of the store, a cool night breeze swept over me.

Zhao Min's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes slowly opened.

As soon as she regained consciousness, she was stunned—she found herself lying on top of a man.

Although the effects of the alcohol hadn't worn off and her head was spinning, her instincts still made her want to struggle.

But when she saw clearly that it was Xiao Yaoqing's profile, she went limp.

She stopped struggling and just lay there obediently, letting Xiao Yaoqing carry her forward.

A faint light flickered in his drunken eyes.

It's unclear how long they walked, but Zhao Min seemed to enjoy the feeling, and slowly closed her eyes again.

But as he closed his mouth, a sentence escaped his throat:

"In all my life, only my father has ever carried me on his back; no other man has ever touched me..."

Xiao Yaoqing's ears twitched.

Zhao Min is awake?

Wait, what does "no man has ever carried you" mean?

?

Then what am I?

Fuck!

Without saying a word, Xiao Yaoqing immediately let go.

"Eh!"

Zhao Min screamed.

"thump!"

She fell straight to the ground.

Zhao Min sat on the ground with her body tilted to one side, covering her buttocks with her hand.

Although a martial artist wouldn't be seriously injured by such a fall, it really hurts!

She glared at Xiao Yaoqing with fiery eyes and shouted:

"Xiao Yaoqing! Why did you throw me away?!"

Xiao Yaoqing turned around, looked down at her, and said in a flat tone:

"The princess is awake. Can she walk by herself now?"

Upon hearing this and seeing his indifferent expression, Zhao Min was so angry she gritted her teeth.

"I'm still a woman, aren't I? How can you treat me like this? Are you even a man?"

As the old saying goes, if Zhao Min had Xiao Yaoqing's brains, she would definitely say something like, "No wonder you're single."

.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the brains.

"Tenderness and pity for the beautiful"

These four words had never even crossed Xiao Yaoqing's mind.

Besides, this woman will belong to Zhang Wuji in the future, so why should he dote on her?

So Xiao Yaoqing completely ignored her response and said directly:

"Princess, are you leaving or not? If not, I'm leaving."

Zhao Min stared at him, then raised both hands:

"I'll let you carry me on your back."

Xiao Yaoqing: "I won't memorize it."

"you!"

Zhao Min gritted her teeth and said again, "I drank so much today, and you even threw me. It hurts terribly. How am I supposed to leave?"

Xiao Yaoqing looked at her expressionlessly:

"Judging from the princess's appearance, she seems perfectly fine, doesn't she?"

Xiao Yaoqing turned around and said, "If you're not leaving, then I'm leaving."

After saying that, he actually started walking towards Green Willow Manor.

"Xiao Yaoqing! You bastard!"

Zhao Min sat on the ground, furious and ready to explode, wishing she could throw a tantrum right there.

But she noticed that Xiao Yaoqing's steps hadn't stopped at all, and in a panic, she tried to get up by bracing herself on the ground.

She had indeed drunk quite a bit, and her movements were too abrupt; suddenly everything went black, and the world spun around her.

"oops!"

With a startled cry, Zhao Min staggered and collapsed onto the table next to her.

The fall was so hard that it brought tears to her eyes.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Yaoqing turned around and looked.

Zhao Min was clutching her thigh, trying to stand up, but she couldn't muster any strength.

"Sister! You've only had a little too much to drink, it's not like you've been given some kind of poison, is it really that serious?"

However, Xiao Yaoqing could also see that Zhao Min was indeed not faking it. Having no other choice, he went back.
