He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

"No, you are not allowed to touch alcohol while I'm around, not even spirit wine."

Yun Yi's chest heaved slightly with anger as she glared at Chen Shun, issuing him her final ultimatum:

"Really, you won't even let us try it?"

"No, there's no room for negotiation."

The little witch got up, pretended to be in tears, and ran towards Chen Lu.

"Grandpa! Chen Shun is bullying me!"

Chen Shun was shocked; the slight intoxication was completely dispelled by the chill that rushed from his feet to his head.

This little devil has no martial arts ethics!

How childish to complain to your elders!

……

Chen Shun was pulled aside by Chen Lu and severely reprimanded:

"Look at you! My granddaughter-in-law wants to try your grandfather's Sanhua Wine, what's wrong with that? Huh? What's wrong with that?"

"Someone like you, it's not easy for a woman to like you, and you don't cherish it, all you do is bully her?"

"Tonight, you need to apologize to Xiaoyi properly. If she doesn't agree all night, you'll have to apologize all night long, understand?"

Chen Shun shrank back timidly, sensing that his grandfather's words had a hidden meaning:

"understood."

Yun Yi hid behind Chen Lu, peeking out half her head to look at the humiliated Chen Shun, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I definitely won't accept his apology tonight," Yun Yi whispered.

……

……

Finally, Chen Shun took the smallest cup in the manor and poured some Sanhua wine for Yun Yi.

Yun Yi looked at the small cup that could hold at most a few peanuts and wrinkled his nose in annoyance.

"That's all? Who are you looking down on?"

"My witch... this is damn liquor!"

"It's just alcohol diluted with water! Watch this!"

Under Chen Shun's worried gaze, Yun Yi carefully picked up the small cup and took a sip.

"Cough... Ugh"

The little witch stretched out her small hand, covered her mouth, and forced herself to swallow the scalding liquid.

It's as if spitting it out means losing.

Even tears welled up in her eyes.

With just one bite, the little witch's face turned bright red.

"I already told you not to drink anymore..."

"Cough...cough cough...why is this so spicy?"

"You've tried it, haven't you? I told you you wouldn't like the taste." Chen Shun stepped forward and gently patted Yun Yi's back.

He didn't like the little witch drinking.

Ke Yunyi seems to be quite obsessed with this.

When Chen Shun asked, she simply licked her lips and explained:

"I just want to get drunk in your arms once and see what I'll do."

……

……

That's what she did too.

At the banquet, she secretly poured herself a large glass of wine when Chen Shun got up to leave.

Despite the burning sensation, Yun Yi drank the entire cup of Three Flowers Wine.

Soon I felt my body start to heat up, not only my face, but also my neck and behind my ears turned red.

The effect was rapid; Yun Yi was just sitting there when he felt the surroundings begin to shake.

Even the familiar images of Su Qiubei and Xiaobai gradually became abstract in her eyes.

She pressed her throbbing temples and slumped onto the table, feeling a little dizzy.

She didn't know how much time had passed. Perhaps Chen Shun returned just as she lay down, or perhaps he returned a while later, by which time Yun Yi was already somewhat delirious.

But when she saw Chen Shun's worried yet slightly resentful expression, her drunkenness subsided by a third.

She awkwardly nestled into Chen Shun's arms and whispered in his ear, "I'm drunk, my head is spinning, carry me back to the house to rest..."

After a period of not-too-strong jolts, Yun Yi found herself lying on the bed.

"Chen Shun..."

"Here I am."

"Stay with me... no, I mean apologize."

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."

……

……

Su Qiubei, wrapped in a bath towel, soaked in the hot spring pool and looked up at the sky.

Where did Senior Yun go?

We agreed to go to the hot springs together tonight!

Why are you the only one soaking in the tub?

……

……

Two years later.

Yun Yi, Chen Shun, Su Qiubei, Li Mei, Xiao Bai, Xiao Di, and others participated in the tassel-turning ceremony at Luoda University.

The issuance of graduation certificates and degree certificates officially marked the graduation of these students from university.

After the graduation ceremony, the three of them, still wearing their graduation gowns, returned to the activity room of the Abnormal Creatures Research Society, which held four years of memories for them.

Su Qiubei was filled with emotion: "Seniors, what are your plans after graduation?"

Yun Yi paced slowly in the activity room, not rushing to answer Su Qiubei's question, but instead reaching out and gently brushing his hand over all the items in the room.

"Me? Would I possibly help our president manage his family business?"

"It's also possible that the two of them, together with our president, could find a corner in Los Angeles and open a small haunted house."

"Hmm...opening a pet store seems like a good idea."

"And you, Qiubei, what are your plans?"

Su Qiubei raised her head somewhat confusedly and said with a hint of uncertainty:

"I'll probably still go and look for the werewolves."

"However, we have been researching for four years, from werewolves at the beginning, to zombies later, to foreign zombies, and now to ghosts that we have been researching recently. The results all show that these things do not exist—at least not within our understanding."

They did more than just conduct research; they also visited many places rumored to be haunted, but ultimately confirmed that they were all fake news.

Or it might just be some misunderstanding or rumor.

Su Qiubei shook her head: "Even so, I'd like to find some more time to talk about it. If I can't find one, could you hire me as an employee at my little haunted house or pet house?"

"Hmph, then I guess I'll have to make you serve me tea and water, okay?"

"Senior, isn't this exactly what I excel at?"

The two of them laughed.

"By the way, Chen Shun, what will happen to the Alien Research Society after we leave?"

Chen Shun opened his phone, scrolled to a chat history, and showed it to the two of them:

[Senior, I found your Abnormal Creatures Research Club in the school's club information. I'm very interested and would like to join. Is that okay?]

"Looks like the Different Research Society will still be around."

"My junior has to recruit new people; it looks like he'll be quite busy."

"Haven't we been doing the same thing all these years?"

"That's different. They're talking about recruiting new people, but they're clearly just watching the seniors flaunt their love!" Su Qiubei said indignantly.

"Then you can find one too."

"No, Qiubei loves this!"

That's how a CP leader is.

"Senior Yun, may I ask you a favor?" Su Qiubei suddenly pressed down on Yun Yi's shoulder, staring intently into Yun Yi's eyes.

"What's wrong, Qiubei?"

"Senior Yun, Senior Sword Immortal, please, please, please invite Qiu Bei to your wedding! I beg you... No matter where I go, I will definitely rush back as soon as I receive your message! ... Um, thank you for your help, seniors. I can fly now."

"Well... perhaps, Qiu Bei, you can stay in Los Angeles for a while before you leave."

"Ok?"

"Because of the wedding, it should be coming soon..."
