Chang'e simply pursed her lips and gave Su Qing a dissatisfied glare at her teasing. "Since that's how it is, I'll stop washing for now and launch an attack on you instead!"
Seeing this, Su Qing quickly raised her hands in surrender. "Alright, alright, I lose. Let's just drink first! By the way, Yuer, why don't you come down?"
Su Qing didn't want to play around too much with Chang'e, so she quickly shifted the topic again.
Hearing Su Qing's words, Chang'e snorted, wearing the expression of a victor. She then followed Su Qing's lead and asked, "Yuer, won't you come down and join us for a good soak?"
"Me? I'll pass for now. I... my figure isn't that good, so I won't take off my clothes and come down. I'll just stay up here and help you two prepare the wine," Yuer replied with a bitter smile, shaking her head as she looked down at her own meager curves.
Of course, besides that reason, she was actually more worried about being dragged into some inexplicable game... After all, the two people before her were both extraordinary figures—in many ways.
They had only just arrived, yet they were already making such suggestive jokes. Thus, Yuer decided she didn't want to be part of their 'corruption' and was even more afraid of being dragged in and bullied along with them.
Therefore, she didn't dare enter the water. She only dared to stay on the sidelines to 'cheer them on' and 'serve them drinks.' Only in this way could she better preserve her purity.
In truth, she didn't care all that much about her purity. If it were only Su Qing, she wouldn't mind going down to keep her company. After all, even if Su Qing were to make a move, she certainly wouldn't ignore Yuer's feelings, so Yuer wouldn't be too worried. However, there were two of them now, and one was her own mistress, who was unreliable to the extreme. In such a situation, if she went down, she'd likely be devoured whole in an instant.
Thus, she wouldn't do anything so foolish!
Su Qing looked at Yuer from the water. Although she didn't know exactly what Yuer was thinking, the two of them didn't force her. They only nodded with a smile.
"Fine, fine. if you don't want to soak with us, then stay on the shore. It'll be perfect to have you serve us wine!"
As Su Qing spoke, Chang'e also spread her hands, indicating she had no objection. While it was a bit of a pity, having someone serve wine on the shore was indeed a good thing. After all, although she could use her magic to pull the wine over, once she got properly drunk later, her control over her magic would become terrible. If she accidentally spilled the wine, the loss would outweigh the gain.
So, she naturally expressed her agreement.
Chang'e leaned against the edge of the hot spring and pointed to a jar of fine wine among the pile nearby. "Yuer, open that jar of wine and bring it over... also, that one, that one, and that one too."
Seeing that Chang'e wasn't forcing her to bathe with them, Yuer breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't know how she would have refused if Chang'e had insisted. Fortunately, her mistress still had a bit of a conscience.
Yuer didn't say much, only nodding as she went to fetch the items. Whether it was the wine or other fruits and snacks, she brought them all before Chang'e, placing the wine in a wooden basin to make it easy to reach.
Seeing this, Su Qing smiled at Yuer and then began drinking with Chang'e. Because this was immortal wine and quite intoxicating, Su Qing paid more attention to her pace, avoiding drinking too much by accident. She didn't want to get so drunk that something bad happened—or rather, something 'too good' happened.
For Su Qing, she enjoyed drinking, but she did not enjoy being drunk. Therefore, Su Qing didn't plan on drinking as heavily as Chang'e.
While Su Qing was contemplating these things, Chang'e, beside her, had already downed a cup of immortal wine in one go. This made Su Qing click her tongue in amazement. This woman... wasn't she afraid of something happening at all?
'Oh, wait, she's actually hoping for something to happen!' Su Qing recalled Chang'e's behavior along the way, chuckled, shook her head, and took a shallow sip of her wine.
"Drink! Drink more. It's a rare opportunity. If we don't drink our fill, it would be such a waste." Chang'e patted Su Qing's shoulder, then naturally hooked an arm around her neck. With her other hand, she took the wine from Su Qing's hand and held it to Su Qing's lips. "Drink, drink, drink~ No raising fish!"
Su Qing's lips twitched slightly. "I like to savor my wine slowly."
"Savoring wine means drinking in big gulps!" Chang'e said threateningly. "Don't be afraid. Haven't you always said that before you get drunk, I'll definitely be the first to pass out? So what are you afraid of? Drink up, and don't you dare disappoint me."
Chang'e understood Su Qing and knew exactly why she was unwilling to drink properly with her. So, she seized upon that point to persuade Su Qing, lest she continue 'raising fish' in her glass.
As for whether she would actually pass out before Su Qing, that was hard to say. Although she always acted very confident in front of Su Qing, as if there was no need to worry about getting drunk, she actually had some awareness of her own alcohol tolerance. It was impossible for her not to know her own limits. Her refusal to admit she had a poor tolerance was mostly just her being stubborn.
Of course, Chang'e didn't always get drunk that quickly. Occasionally, when her luck was good or her spirits were high, she could drink quite a bit before passing out.
Su Qing wasn't entirely sure what Chang'e was thinking at the moment. She only looked at her speechlessly. Finally, she sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I'll drink. Is that okay?"
Su Qing gave in. If she was going to drink, she might as well drink! If something really happened, then so be it! Regardless, she wouldn't be the one losing out in the end.
As the saying went, Chang'e had such a good figure and was the number one beauty of the Moon Palace. If something really happened with her, what would Su Qing have to lose?
Hearing Su Qing's answer, Chang'e immediately broke into a smile and clapped her hands. "Yes, yes, yes! That's the spirit! What's there to be afraid of? If you don't get drunk while drinking, then there's no point! Drink, drink, drink! Hehe, downing it in one breath like this is the right way!"
Chang'e egged her on, her face full of smiles as she watched Su Qing down the cup of wine she had handed over. She then added, "Actually, if you hadn't drunk just now, I was thinking of drinking some snake milk wine~ Hehe, if I used that to threaten you, would you have behaved and drunk your wine?"
Su Qing, feeling the intensity of the immortal wine, snapped back to her senses upon hearing Chang'e's words, her lips twitching. She sighed softly and said, "You, you know that what I hate most is being threatened. If you really said that... then I definitely wouldn't have drunk it! In fact... if you pushed me too far, I might even drink some pearl milk tea!"
Hearing these strange words, Chang'e blinked and pressed Su Qing's face against her own slightly flushed cheek. "Eh? What does that mean? Explain it to me... I know those words of yours definitely aren't anything good~"
Su Qing chuckled and gave a simple explanation. Understanding the meaning, Chang'e couldn't help but remark, "And here I thought I was the only one who liked saying such things! I never imagined you'd be even more formidable than me! Oh my, oh my, I really can't compare to you! As expected of a woman with several wives! Truly extraordinary~ Hehe, when will you let me, your sister, see your skills?"
Chang'e wasn't intimidated by Su Qing's words at all; instead, she continued to tease Su Qing with a smile, as if she weren't worried in the slightest that Su Qing might actually do something to her.
On the shore, Yuer's face had turned completely red as she poured the wine, even the tips of her ears were crimson. Although she wasn't some overly innocent person and knew a bit about the affairs between men and women—and had read quite a few books about the affairs between women—she really couldn't handle Su Qing and Chang'e discussing such things so casually.
After all, she would feel embarrassed even just being naked in front of the two of them, let alone listening to this.
Yuer let out a long breath, somewhat regretting coming along with them. What was all this? How could her mistress be so uninhibited in front of Su Qing?
Yuer felt her head throbbing.
Su Qing and Chang'e, unaware of Yuer's thoughts, continued their conversation. Su Qing shook her head with a laugh and said, "Let's forget about that! After all, Sister Chang'e is my sister; I can't really do those things to you. Besides, if my family found out about such things, I'd definitely be scolded."
Su Qing rejected Chang'e's suggestion, and Chang'e didn't care much about it. When she had said those things earlier, she hadn't expected them to actually happen anyway. Naturally, she didn't mind.
She simply stretched and said, "Fine, fine, then I'll just bully you later."
Su Qing's lips twitched as she said, "Sister Chang'e, if you keep this up, be careful not to play with fire!"
"I'm doing this precisely to start a fire!" Chang'e tilted Su Qing's chin up and said, "You have to understand... if it weren't to start a fire, why would I be an arsonist? It's just a pity that someone is a non-flammable material and won't ignite! I really want to see you burning fiercely."
Su Qing gave a faint smile, completely unfazed by Chang'e's provocation. She simply grabbed Chang'e's hand and gave her finger a little nip with her teeth. "If I were to ignite, I wonder if you could handle it, Sister?"
"To be precise, it's whether you... can handle it!" Chang'e said with a smile.
At that moment, Yuer finally couldn't listen anymore. She spoke up, "Alright, alright, you two should stop being so lovey-dovey. If you're going to do something, please wait until it's dark tonight. For now, can you please just drink your wine properly? Stop playing with fire."
Hearing this, both Su Qing and Chang'e turned to look at Yuer. Seeing her blushing face, they both couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, alright, you're making a fuss over nothing. This is just a contest between me and Xiao Qing..." Chang'e said with a smile. "Besides, you know that if we were really going to do something, we would have done it long ago. How could we wait until now and keep provoking each other? I'm not someone who likes to restrain herself!"
Su Qing tilted her head to look at Yuer and also smiled. "Yuer is truly innocent! Don't worry, if a fire were really going to start, it would have started long ago. Do you think what Chang'e is saying now is already too much? In truth, this woman has said even more outrageous things!"
The two of them spoke in harmony, leaving Yuer completely dazed. She looked at them, her lips twitching, and then she seemed to realize something. She glared at the two of them resentfully and said, "You two didn't say and do all that just to tease me, did you?"
Hearing this, Su Qing and Chang'e glanced at each other and then nodded in unison. "If that's how you want to think of it, then you're not wrong~"
Hearing this, Yuer gritted her teeth and said, "You two are truly infuriating!"
With that, Yuer tossed a jar of wine into their hands and said, "I'm furious, I'm furious, I'm absolutely furious!"
Yuer hadn't been this angry in a long time; today, she was truly ticked off.
On the other side, Su Qing and Chang'e looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. In truth, the idea that they were deliberately bullying her wasn't entirely true... they just didn't want her to overthink things. As it turned out, it seemed to have had the opposite effect.
"Alright, alright, we apologize to you!" Chang'e said, leaning against the edge of the hot spring. "As compensation, why don't you come down for a soak too? Don't worry, we won't do anything to you! And we won't force you to drink."
Hearing this, Yuer quickly shook her head. "I'll pass..."
She wouldn't go down, absolutely not.
Seeing this, the two of them were also helpless and had to give up. At the same time, Su Qing sent a sound transmission to Chang'e: 'See? I told you not to talk dirty so casually. Now look what happened.'
Hearing her friend's words, Chang'e glared at her and replied: 'I don't know who was talking dirty right along with me, and even more skillfully than I was. I wonder who that could be!'
Su Qing chuckled and sent back: 'Wasn't that all caused by you, Sister Chang'e? Alright, alright, let's stop that kind of talk for now. Let's chat about something else.'
'Whatever, whatever! Anyway, if we keep talking like that, Yuer really will get angry,' Chang'e replied helplessly via sound transmission. 'Drink, drink, hurry up and drink! I'm still waiting to see the ridiculous look on your face after I get you drunk!'
'Then you're going to be waiting a long time,' Su Qing replied with a smile.
