The night was deep.
The moment Qin Liuxi appeared in the Nan County City God Temple, Sha Yuanzi popped out holding a small lamp. Through the dim yellow light he saw her, his eyes lit up, then seeing the dust and exhaustion on her face, he pressed his lips together and slipped back.
"At least you know your place and didn't start nosing around asking this and that." Qin Liuxi muttered, hopped onto the altar, and leaned against the bronze statue of the City God.
"How bold of you, even the altar you dare jump onto as you please. Why don't I just give you my seat to sit on…—oh my, this wine, it smells divine!" The South City God caught the scent from the jar Qin Liuxi pulled out; once the mud seal was broken, the mellow fragrance of the liquor wafted out, instantly waking the wine worm in him.
Then he also saw a plate of roast duck, delicate pastries, and Divine Incense.
