Brother Long really had no face to stay here anymore; he had been ridiculed so miserably that staying would only invite more mockery from Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan.

However, this defeat made Brother Long feel extremely ashamed, and he couldn't help but harbor resentment towards Qin Fang, giving Qin Fang a fierce glare before he left.

Unfortunately, such a glare had too weak an Attack Power, and Qin Fang didn't even bother with him.

For a common man who was merely Level 1, Qin Fang couldn't think highly of him even if he wanted to, as there was no significant threat, even though Brother Long emitted a red glow indicative of hostility.

"This guy doesn't seem like a good person, aren't you afraid?"

After Brother Long had left, Chu Yunxuan, who seemed to be quite drunk, suddenly said to Qin Fang, her eyes unexpectedly clear at this moment.

"If I'm not even afraid of a beautiful woman like you, what's there for a big guy like me to be afraid of…"

Qin Fang replied with a smile and a rhetorical question.

When men encounter danger, at most, they get beaten up, and these small-time hooligans probably don't even have the guts to kill, let alone cause serious injury.

On the other hand, if it were a woman in such a situation, things would be different: getting harassed would be inevitable, and in the case of meeting a really ruthless character, she might get assaulted or even gang-raped.

Especially in a low-class bar like this, with people coming and going, and Ecstasy Pills being sold on the sly, it's hard to tell what might happen. Just a few Ecstasy Pills and someone could get taken advantage of, and in the end, would likely remember nothing…

"I'm a black belt in Karate; I can protect myself…"

Chu Yunxuan raised a hand and clenched her fist, flaunting it towards Qin Fang. However, she had already drunk quite a bit, and her punch looked feeble, maybe good enough to squash a couple of ants but definitely not for fighting people.

Qin Fang just smiled and didn't comment on it.

"Let me make you a cocktail, you've also had quite a lot. If you keep drinking, you'll really get drunk…"

Although he made no comment on her statement, Qin Fang didn't forget why he brought so many spirits here and immediately offered.

"Nonsense, how could I be drunk…"

The clarity that Chu Yunxuan's eyes had briefly gained once again became blurred, and even Qin Fang wondered whether this beauty was actually drunk or not.

If she were drunk, it's because she truly had consumed a lot of alcohol, even more than Qin Fang, having nearly finished a dozen beers, as hardly any unopened bottles remained in front of her.

Moreover, her insistent claims of not being drunk also indicated that she indeed was.

As for her not being drunk, it could be argued because of the sudden clarity in her eyes that made it seem like what Qin Fang had seen was all just a façade, deliberately shown by Chu Yunxuan.

In any case, Qin Fang had no intention of letting Chu Yunxuan continue drinking anyway, lest it truly become unmanageable…

"You really know how to make cocktails?"

As Qin Fang began to make the cocktail, Chu Yunxuan watched him with blurry eyes. Seeing his professional movements, she couldn't help but ask.

Mixing a cocktail might sound simple, but it isn't easy to execute.

The inexperienced, even if following a predefined order for pouring various liquor bases, might not be able to make a cocktail palatable.

Generally, making a cocktail refers to mixing a Martini, which originated from abroad and underwent modifications in Dragon Country.

"A little…"

Qin Fang seemed quite modest as he busied himself with the task while responding to Chu Yunxuan's question.

"Are you making a Martini?"

Chu Yunxuan seemed to have a good insight into beverages, as she could guess from just the few base liquors Qin Fang was using.

"Right, it's a Martini… It seems that in addition to your expertise in Medical Arts, you also have quite a knowledge of alcohol!"

Qin Fang was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Chu Yunxuan to be such an expert in recognizing drinks, able to guess correctly just by watching him handle the liquor.

"I have a classmate from Harvard whose family owns a really large vineyard..."

Chu Yunxuan seemed to mention it casually, but she quickly paused, seemingly unwilling to continue, "I hope you don't disappoint me..."

Chu Yunxuan was still the same, her eyes half-closed as if she were extremely drunk, yet every time she spoke to Qin Fang, she sounded strong and energetic, not at all like she was intoxicated. It was clear that her alcohol tolerance was truly remarkable!

Out of all the cocktails, the Martini has the most methods of mixing, and people call it the masterpiece and king of cocktails. Although it's simply made by stirring gin with dry vermouth, its taste is incredibly sharp and profound—

Some say there are as many as 268 different Martini recipes, and from time to time, someone comes up with a new mixing method.

It's said that Churchill was very fond of a really dry taste, thus he would drink straight gin while merely glancing at the vermouth bottle...

Qin Fang mixed the Martini in his own way; he wasn't sure if it was among those known 268 methods, but he was certain that the Martini he mixed tasted much better than what most people could achieve...

At least that relatively handsome young bartender over there couldn't compare with Qin Fang; they were not even on the same level. It was the kind where, standing together, Qin Fang could easily outdo him.

Soon, all the ingredients were ready, and Qin Fang put them into the mixing jug, then started shaking it rapidly.

Truth be told, although it was Qin Fang's first time playing with this thing, and he was a bit clumsy at first, nearly dropping it several times, his quick reflexes and agility saved him from any mishap.

He quickly got the hang of it, and the silver mixing jug flew back and forth between his hands, chest, shoulders, armpits, and back, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, looking rather dazzling.

It's a pity that there was only Chu Yunxuan as an audience here, so only she could witness such a smooth and dazzling performance.

Qin Fang appeared very concentrated and serious, meticulous in his actions. At least at this moment, he had shed his previous frivolous and irreverent demeanor, even Chu Yunxuan found it a bit surprising to watch.

However, that expression was soon clouded over by her dazed gaze, returning to her half-asleep, half-awake state. It was unclear if she was actually drunk or not...

Thus, Qin Fang shook the jug for about three to five minutes before finally stopping. The sweat on his forehead evidenced that the activity was not all that easy.

Upon opening the mixer, Qin Fang slowly poured the now-mixed Martini into a highball glass, finally revealing its true appearance.

"Hiss~~"

The lighting was somewhat dim, but it wasn't to the extent where things were completely indiscernible. The wall light nearby allowed for a very clear view.

In the transparent highball glass, a dazzling array of colors was displayed, making it quite difficult to associate it with just one color. You could find virtually every color you recognized in there...

But despite the myriad of colors, it appeared extraordinarily harmonious, as if it was naturally meant to be so.

Chu Yunxuan hadn't expected Qin Fang to mix a cocktail that looked so good, absolutely perfect—even professional bartenders seemed to fall short in comparison.

So, catching sight of such a cocktail, she couldn't help but draw in a breath. The shock was imaginable, though it didn't surprise Qin Fang.

He himself felt the same. He knew his handiwork must be quite good, but when the cocktail flowed smoothly out, he couldn't help but get excited for a moment.

"Taste it and give me your feedback..."

Qin Fang soon composed himself and modestly invited Chu Yunxuan.

Chu Yunxuan didn't mess around with Qin Fang; she sat up straight, picked up the glass, and stared intently at it for a long time, seemingly worried about whether such a splendidly colorful drink was actually safe to consume. In the end, however, she opened her mouth and took a sip of the Martini.

After the drink went down, Qin Fang looked forward with anticipation.

But Chu Yunxuan simply put down the glass and leaned back on the sofa, her eyes still half-closed, making no evaluation. It was unclear whether she had passed out drunk or was savoring the flavor of Qin Fang's Martini...

Qin Fang, getting a bit nervous himself, started to worry whether he had botched it—even though he was almost certain that wasn't the case.

"You trying to get me drunk?"

After what felt like an eternity, Chu Yunxuan suddenly spoke, but her question took Qin Fang aback. "It seems I was right, you really are a beast..."

Suddenly, Qin Fang had the thought that "no good deed goes unpunished," feeling as if a row of crows were cawing as they flew by overhead, leaving him quite frustrated.

Although his Martini was indeed a bit stronger, with a higher alcohol concentration making it easier for people to get drunk, its super spicy taste could momentarily sharpen one's focus. That way, at least he could take a momentarily sober Chu Yunxuan back with him, and not have to worry about leaving her passed out on the street.

As long as he delivered her home safely, how drunk she became afterward was no longer his concern—at least he would be out of sight, out of mind...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
