Chapter 1544.1: Drunk
After completing a series of formalities and collecting Melody's belongings, Su Xiao walked out of the prison.
Melody was watching him closely, and from the look on her face, she seemed ready to run away at any moment.
— I'll give you ten minutes to escape. And... go ahead, " Su Xiao said as he started the timer on his pocket watch.
— What happens if you find me in ten minutes? Melody asked. She was very smart. She did not immediately run away, as she knew very well how much money was needed to pay for the ransom of the white witch accused of fraud.
— I'll skin you alive.
— Hahaha, I haven't heard anything funnier lately... " After laughing for a bit, Melody suddenly stopped talking.
She sensed that he wasn't lying. He was really willing to skin her!
— What do you want? My body? Don't even think about it, I'm very stubborn, but if you're interested in corpses, you can try to possess me, " Melody said with a serious expression. She was well aware that this was one of the options, and she didn't have any money at all, while this man was clearly quite rich.
— Are you finished?" Su Xiao asked
— Uh, maybe.
— Then follow me, " he said, and headed for the tavern, where Bubtny was waiting for him.
Since it was only nine o'clock in the morning, the tavern was almost deserted.
----
Five minutes later.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh~*
The palm-sized glass was filled to the brim with beer.
The bartender picked up a wooden ruler, removed the white foam from the rim of his glass, and tapped the ruler on the table.
Each of his movements was filled with experience and grace.
After placing two glasses of beer on Su Xiao's table, the bartender returned to his counter.
The beer in the transparent glass was orange and yellow, and the bubbles kept rising up, making a pleasant hiss as they left.
In a quiet tavern, Su Xiao and Melody sat across from each other at a wooden table in the corner. There were only a few drunkards in this entire tavern right now, ordinary residents wouldn't drink at this early hour.
— Su Xiao picked up the glass in front of him and placed it in front of Melody.
Melody frowned. Being an elegant lady, she obviously couldn't drink beer from such a large glass.
A gold coin clattered onto the wooden table. All the drunks and the bartender looked askance at their table, and greed appeared in the eyes of some of them, but when they saw Ama, a three-meter-tall giant at the table, their greed immediately disappeared.
— One glass one coin.
— Melody chuckled with a hint of disdain as she took off her black silk gloves, tossed them on the table, and gripped the handle of her glass with her beautiful hands...
*Gulp-gulp-gulp...*
Melody drained the glass in ten gulps, maintaining her elegant demeanor.
Reaching out, she touched the gold coin on the table and said, " It's mine now.
— That's right, " Su Xiao replied, opening his palm and a dozen gold coins fell on the table.
— Don't tell me... Melody said, setting her empty glass down on the table, suppressing the urge to burp.
She now understood what Su Xiao meant when he said, " One glass one coin».
— After saying that, Su Xiao picked up two gold coins with two fingers. "Two for the second, three for the third.
— You... the devil? Melody asked, and without hesitation, she grabbed the only remaining glass of beer on the table.
— Boss, say again.
— Okay, just a second.
Ten minutes later, the wooden table in front of Su Xiao was filled with empty glasses, and in each glass, white beer foam slowly dripped down the sides.
— I'm fine, there's no problem, I'm a witch~, " Melody mumbled as she lay on the table and stared at her beer glass. Her face was slightly red, and she giggled from time to time.
She was very happy, because she was able to earn a lot of gold coins today.
— Witch, don't sleep, " Su Xiao said and patted Melody's head.
— Melody looked at Su Xiao blankly. — Who are you?
— No matter who I am, I want to know about the Land of Death.
— The land of death? Who even wants to know about this damned place? A perverted old woman had conducted the frost dust temptation in the south, so now anyone who dared to reveal information about the Land of Death would experience the wrath of that damned old woman. Hey, are you trying to trick me into telling you about the Land of Death? I'm Melody, the white witch Melody, I'm very strong~...
Although he hadn't known Melody for a long time, he immediately discovered her weakness, which was that she valued money more than anything else in the world. Most likely, she wanted to achieve something, but this "something" required a large amount of money, otherwise she would not have pretended to be a big shot for the sake of entering the city.
— Everything is within the expected range.
