Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 107: End of Life (1)

Lu Xiu cleaned up the fish and moved the grill to the yard to grill it. Ning Hua looked at the ice in the yard and didn't dare to go up there.

Fifteen minutes later, the aroma of the grilled fish was already very strong. Lu Xiu took the baking tray and brought the fish into the house.

"Try it, I hope you'll like it." Lu Xiu took out the tableware from the kitchen and pushed it towards Ning Hua.

"It smells delicious, Your Highness. I didn't expect you could cook."

"When I was bored, I would come here with Sid and the others. We get the hang of grilling after doing it many times." Lu Xiu took a few bites and took down a bottle of wine from the wine rack.

"It's a very strong drink. Would you like some?" Lu Xiu stood at the bar and gestured to Ning Hua at the wine in his hand.

Ning Hua nodded: "Okay, Your Highness."

Lu Xiu walked back to the sofa and sat down: "I saw you were drinking a lot last time, did you drink often in the past?"

"I used to drink some when I was bored at home." Ning Hua took the cup and placed it on the table, watching Lu Xiu fill it with dark liquid.

"I've never heard you talk about your past. Do you mind telling me about it?" Lu Xiu said as he raised his round-bottomed wine glass and clinked it with Ning Hua.

After clinking glasses, Ning Hua put the cup to her lips and drank it all up. She put the cup down and saw that Lu Xiu had only taken a shallow sip.

The two looked at each other in surprise, and Lu Xiu quickly picked up the cup and apologized: "I was wrong, I'll drink it." Then he drank it all in one gulp.

Maybe it was a really strong liquor. Lu Xiu felt dizzy after finishing it.

Ning Hua glanced at him carefully and said, "Your Highness, do you not have to finish your drink when you clink glasses?"

Lu Xiu held his dizzy head and said, "Well, it depends on what kind of wine it is and the size of the cup. If it's a big cup like this and it's strong wine, you'll feel a little dizzy like I am now after drinking it..."

Lu Xiu was confident in his alcohol tolerance, and wanted to take advantage of the alcohol to have a good chat with Ning Hua and talk about love, so he chose the strongest wine. When pouring the wine, he was ruthless and poured a full glass for each of them... He didn't expect that the commander guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

Ning Hua quickly helped Lu Xiu up: "Are you okay, Your Highness?"

Lu Xiu nodded, leaned back, and fell asleep...

I didn't expect the commander to get drunk so easily. Ning Hua took the bottle and put it to his nose to smell it. It was okay... Turning his head to look at the drunk commander, Ning Hua, who was drunk, drank the remaining half bottle of wine...

Lu Xiu woke up from the sofa in the middle of the night, sat up and saw in the light of the crystal in the closet that there were one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... seven? Yes, seven empty bottles.

He quickly turned on the floor lamp next to the sofa and found Ning Hua's position. Fortunately, she was sitting on the ground and sleeping obediently at his feet. Lu Xiu got up, picked up Ning Hua and walked to the small bedroom upstairs. He put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt carefully.

The faint light from the snow outside the window made the whole bedroom seem particularly quiet. Lu Xiu sat at the head of the bed and quietly looked at Ning Hua's sleeping face. She slept very well and quietly. He reached out and touched her face and lips. Lu Xiu leaned over and gently kissed her lips, then walked to the other side of the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down.

Ning Hua was sleeping soundly, and Lu Xiu reached out and held her in his arms again.

When the sky brightened, Lu Xiu opened his eyes and saw Ning Hua's face magnified in front of him. He looked like he was sleeping soundly, with his mouth slightly open. He thought of what happened last night, and a smile spread to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
