Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 333 Another Gift Altar

"It turns out that in the end, it was nothing more than seduction."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper Yajen's expression froze. He felt anxious and swallowed the wine. His eyebrows slightly bent, his face showing grievance, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

"What do you mean? Shopkeeper Yae, if you can move the kunai in your right hand away from my back, I can continue to have a good chat and wine tasting with Shopkeeper Yae."

Jiang Ming smiled softly. Even though he might be stabbed with a kunai by Shopkeeper Yae in the next second, he still maintained his composure.

"——!?"

Although he didn't know why the matter was exposed, Shopkeeper Yae was about to stab the kunai when he suddenly found himself unable to move.

She could only watch Jiang Ming's hands moving around her body, touching a lot of places that shouldn't be touched. Only after he had removed all the hidden weapons from his body did he continue to hold her in his arms, but his expression was still calm.

"..."

The blush on Shopkeeper Yajen's face completely disappeared. Looking at Jiang Ming's jade-like face, skin as white as snow, and gentle face, he said with despair in his heart.

"Your methods are indeed powerful. I accept my fate. I just hope that you can be gentler in the next process."

"Why do you think I would do such a thing?"

Jiang Ming finally couldn't help but protest: "I just took off the offensive things from you, Miss Yae. It's inevitable that it will touch some places that shouldn't be touched. Besides, Miss Yae is already an assassin who doesn't care about life and death. Would she care about this? You suddenly say this, aren't you looking down on me too much...?"

"..."

"Okay, don't be silent. I don't mean to hurt you, Miss Yae. The reason you can't move now is just a little trick of mine. I'm holding you now just because I want you to feel more comfortable."

"..."

Seeing that Shopkeeper Yajong remained silent, as if she thought she had him in her hands, Jiang Ming sighed helplessly and said, "Miss Yajong, you are under the order of Prime Minister Rita to escort Master Guanxing back to Huangyue City safely. Am I wrong in what I said?"

"How did your Excellency know?"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Yajong was finally willing to speak, Jiang Ming continued to talk: "Shopkeeper Yajong, you don't know, this is actually the power of His Highness Guanxing. His Highness Guanxing had a chance encounter and has the ability to predict the future. The identity of Shopkeeper Yajong was calculated by His Highness. I am just a middleman, invited to persuade Shopkeeper Yajong. We really have something important to do. I hope Shopkeeper Yajong will not disturb us."

The shopkeeper Yajō snorted coldly, "Do you think I really don't know your identity? The Prime Minister told me earlier that she had placed a chess piece next to Master Guanxing, but out of caution, she asked me to bring Master Guanxing back to Huangyue City. She didn't expect that this chess piece had betrayed the Prime Minister."

"It was indeed right for the Prime Minister to send me here. It's just a pity that I was defeated by you."

"......Excuse me for being blunt, Miss Yae, Guanxing is not a runaway child. She knows very well what she is facing and what she should do. She is going to seal the strange beast over there, and passing by here is just to set up the eye of the formation in preparation for fighting against the strange beast in the future." Jiang Ming then said earnestly.

"Ms. Yae, I know your loyalty to the royal family. I could tell from your betrayal of your body before. There is really no flaw at all."

"But I also hope that you can understand His Highness Guanxing. How difficult it is to seal the strange beast? How can His Highness Guanxing be a man without any strategy?"

"And we will protect her at all costs until she completes all of this. This is also the deal between me and Your Highness. As for the agreement with Prime Minister Rita... Miss Yae, the agreement between me and the Prime Minister at that time was to bring Master Guanxing back to Huangyue City safely, but there was no specific time mentioned, so this is not a betrayal. I can only say that the mission is in progress."

"Please think about it carefully, Miss Yae. What kind of person is His Highness Guanxing? All of this is for the people of Huangyue City."

"If Miss Yae doesn't believe us, you can just follow us secretly, but His Highness the Stargazer will definitely find us."

After Jiang Ming finished speaking, he waited for good news. Coincidentally, at this time, Shopkeeper Yaye's body was able to move gradually, but she was still lying in Jiang Ming's warm chest. After a long time, she exhaled gently, and the scent of cherry blossoms still lingered.

"Since Your Excellency is so trusted by His Highness, I will have no choice but to disobey His Highness' orders temporarily, and..."

Shopkeeper Yae looked at the jar of cherry blossom wine on the table.

"To be able to brew such exquisite wine, one needs not only skills, but also a calm and composed temperament. Plus, you have such a beautiful appearance and a soft and gentle personality. I am willing to trust you."

"..."

"By the way, are you really unwilling to tell me the method of making this cherry wine? As long as it is promoted on a large scale, the whole country will surely be shocked and benefit greatly." Miss Yae raised her hand and gently stroked Jiang Ming's face.

Jiang Ming chuckled when he heard this: "Of course I know that it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. But it's not that I don't want to teach you, but the method is something you have never heard of, Miss Yae. It is absolutely impossible to brew successfully. I can guarantee that."

Then he changed the subject: "Although I cannot directly teach this craft to Shopkeeper Yae, I can give Miss Yae the Hundred Jars of Sakura Wine as a gift. I hope Miss Yae will accept it."

The taste of this cherry blossom wine is absolutely unique throughout the ages. It is good whether you give it as a gift to others to improve interpersonal relationships, keep it for yourself to taste, or even study the brewing method of this cherry blossom wine yourself.

After a moment's silence, the shopkeeper Yae nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank you for your generosity."

"Well, Miss Yae should take a rest first. I still have to go back." After saying that, Jiang Ming prepared to carry Shopkeeper Yae aside and got up to leave.

However, the shopkeeper Yaye grabbed Jiang Ming and said softly and sweetly, "I see that you are not sleepy. Why don't you stay with me to watch the moonlight and taste this cherry wine?"

"......" Jiang Ming smiled when he heard that.

"Since Miss Yae is so interested, I will respectfully obey your order."

After saying that, he took out a few jars of cherry blossom wine and prepared to get drunk.
