Chapter 68: Fragrant breeze, cool touch

The intoxicating fragrance lingered around Xie Jinzhu's body.

Even Ning Feng almost got addicted to it.

"Hey, little brother, what are you looking at here alone?"

Taking the glass of gin and tonic from the bartender, Xie Jinzhu used her extremely slender fingers to smooth the hair on her forehead. She glanced sideways with her beautiful eyes and saw Ning Feng's serious expression.

Following Ning Feng's gaze, Xie Jinzhu looked up at the TV screen hanging above the bar, which was still broadcasting reports about Luo Ling's death.

"Just a dead scapegoat."

Xie Jinzhu drank half a glass of gin and tonic in one gulp, and the wine left some crystal drops at the corners of her mouth, which was particularly tempting.

After simply wiping it with a tissue, she looked at Ning Feng again with interest.
"Why, do you know this Luo Ling?"

"In my opinion, it was most likely someone who had a personal grudge against him who did it. I heard that when he died, all his supernatural powers were drained away."

"I don't know how angry those old guys in the top management of Luo's Group must be. The things they worked so hard to get back then were lost so easily."

Xie Jinzhu spoke without any reservations, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary household matter.

"It's really pitiful. Luo Ling is trying to fight for the qualification of successor, right? He really treats the ability entrusted to him as his personal property..."

Her light tone, however, sounded like thunder in Ning Feng's ears.

"Luo Ling wasn't the mastermind behind the seizure of the [Honkai] power?! He was just a container that temporarily stored the power?"

For a moment, Ning Feng's emotions were in turmoil. For a long time, he regarded Luo Ling as his biggest enemy.

Years of struggle, just to get revenge one day!
But Xie Jinzhu's words were tantamount to telling him that the real culprit behind the tragedy that year was someone else!
"That's right! When the incident happened, Luo Ling was still the useless person criticized by the Luo Group. How could he have such great power to buy off the media and cover up the truth..."

"Only the top executives of the Roche Group can do this!"

Ning Feng, who was paralyzed by hatred, suddenly realized it at this moment, but then his heart tightened!
"What does Xie Jinzhu mean by saying this in front of me..."

He raised his head, his expression remained unchanged on the surface, but deep in his eyes, he was already deeply alert.

The two supernatural powers [Accident] and [Ice Control] are brewing at the same time. Once Xie Jinzhu in front of him makes any unusual movements, he can counterattack instantly!

"Little brother, I don't think I've seen you much in Castin. Are you a newcomer?"

Xie Jinzhu kept muttering to himself for a long time, with a smile on his face from beginning to end, and his red lips were emitting a moist luster because of the alcohol.

Her smiling eyes were as curved as a pool of autumn water.

With one hand on the bar, he turned sideways and looked at Ning Feng.

"What's the point of just drinking here? Is the news about Luo Ling so interesting? Come and talk to your sister, it will be more interesting."

"Or……"

Before Xie Jinzhu finished speaking, he took the last two sips of the cocktail in his glass and drank it all.

He leaned forward, placed his hand on Ning Feng's neck, and slowly slid down from top to bottom.

The cold touch touched Ning Feng's nerves.

The carefree appearance of Xie Jinzhu in front of him was completely different from the usual cold and silent image of "Seven Sins".

"Or……"

Xie Jinzhu's fingers stopped at Ning Feng's chest.

Then, she stood up from the bar chair, walked forward, and approached Ning Feng.

She lowered her head slightly and put her red lips close to Ning Feng's ear.

"call……"

Xie Jinzhu blew a breath.

"Or is it that you, little brother, have a great connection with Luo Ling's death..."

For a moment, her tone was full of seduction and faint threat.

As he moved closer, the scent of Xie Jinzhu became even stronger.

But Ning Feng didn't care at all at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a moment. He didn't respond to Xie Jinzhu's words, instead, he turned around, raised his head slightly, and met her eyes.

The distance between their heads was only a fist's distance.

In this ambiguous distance, Ning Feng showed a harmless smile, put his hand to his mouth, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Who would have thought that the most mysterious Seven Sins of Desire in Dragon City was actually a woman who came to the bar every day. Sure enough, all rumors are unbelievable."

After Ning Feng finished speaking, he also stood up from his seat at the bar. There was still half a glass of the whiskey he ordered left.

The two sides tested each other and stopped at a certain point.

Afterwards, Ning Feng said no more, passed by Xie Jinzhu, and walked towards the door of Castin Bar.

bell.

The doorbell rang. Ning Feng stood at the door. He did not leave immediately, but turned around and looked meaningfully at where Xie Jinzhu was.
He said, "This pub is pretty good. I will come here often and we will meet again."

As soon as the words were spoken, the figure disappeared.

Xie Jinzhu was left alone, standing by the bar, still with a charming smile on her face.

Tread.

The crisp sound of high heels stepping on the floor was heard. Xie Jinzhu turned around and glanced at the remaining glass of whiskey by Ning Feng on the bar.

Under the surprised gaze of the bartender behind the bar, he picked up the glass and shook the wine slightly in front of him.

The wine glass in the hand and the glasses on the face reflect each other.

The smile on Xie Jinzhu's face disappeared, replaced by a coldness that kept strangers away.

"It seems that there will be a good show to watch soon..."

"But before that..."

Xie Jinzhu put down the wine glass in his hand and calmly looked at the bartender behind the bar.

The two looked at each other for just two seconds without saying a word.

The bartender frowned, then nodded heavily.

I put down the work in my hands, washed my hands, and let the colleague on the other side take over.

Then, he followed the direction Ning Feng left and also left the bar.

"Old people fade away, new people emerge, Dragon City is a remote corner, and will eventually be caught in the storm..."

Xie Jinzhu chuckled and said to the bartender who took over:
"Another gin and tonic."

"More ice."

…………

"Although this time I was in contact, I was already familiar with the whole process from the accidental deductions beforehand."

"But when we actually met face to face, there were still some surprises."

"Xie Jinzhu is definitely the most unpredictable person among all the superpowers I have ever met."

"But one thing is certain. The relationship between her, the Seven Sins, and the Luo Group is by no means simple. It is even very likely that they are in opposing camps..."

"I will take advantage of this. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

After leaving Castin Bar, Ning Feng walked along the sidewalk.

Then, just before leaving the pedestrian street where Castin was, he turned around and walked into a dead end alley on the left.

A few crows were resting on the wall at the end of the alley. They were not disturbed by Ning Feng's arrival.

Standing in the alley, Ning Feng unzipped his casual top.

With your back to the rear exit, tap your five fingers in front of you.

"I've been following you for a while, now you can come out."

"You have to show up eventually, so hurry up. After all, I'm very busy."
