Strange Cards

Chapter 316 Salted Moon

Shi Yu and Liu An quickly returned home, where they saw Chang Wei making roujiamo (a type of Chinese pastry).

It's not so much a fight, but that girl Yu Yan, being so ungrateful, went off to spar with Liu Yu again.

However, as the inheritor of Shigurega-ryu and Ryuan's demon-slaying techniques, Ryu's combat power was naturally off the charts. With just a short sword in his hand, he was able to fight Yu Yan, who was wielding a longbow, in close combat, and even pin him down.

Shi Yu and Liu An exchanged a glance, but did not stop them; they simply watched quietly.

After a long silence, Shiyu slowly uttered a sentence.

"Yu Yan's close-combat skills are still too poor."

"Even with a bow in his hand, he was still able to get close to Liu Yu."

"Although it uses water arrows that are harmless, it's still too inadequate."

Liu An looked at his daughter with a face full of admiration.

"This little girl, Xiao Jiu, will probably be taking over my job someday."

"Xiao Qi will probably take over from the boss. We're already training the next generation of hunters ahead of time."

"I'll see if Miao Miao intends to take over my class. If she does, I'll teach her."

"But I'm afraid these three girls will become a nuisance on missions, so let's leave Steel Claw to them."

"Steel Claw is now the Nightmare Peak Ghost King, and he also possesses his own rules of annihilation, so he can basically roam freely in this world."

"Right now, those who can defeat Steelclaw are extremely rare. It would probably take someone at the level of a Grand Hunter to have a chance against Steelclaw."

"Time really flies."

"In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since you joined the Hunters. My memory is still stuck on you after that terrorist attack, still carrying weapons."

Liu An looked at Shi Yu with a smile on his face.

"Who could have imagined that half a year ago, that wounded kid would break through the encirclement and win the sixth token that no hunter has been able to obtain in so many years?"

"From now on, I'll be relying on you to take care of me."

Liu An patted Shi Yu on the shoulder as he spoke, and then went home.

Shigure watched the battle quietly for a while, then realized that his eyes were covered.

Meanwhile, a pair of lewd hands had already reached into his clothes and started groping, while the person who had blindfolded him said in a low voice.

"Guess who I am?"

Shi Yu reached out and grabbed Shi Yanlan from Bai Yu's neck, then pulled Bai Yu, the owner of the salted pig's trotters, into her arms.

"If you two have nothing to do early in the morning, go and farm."

"Then we'll have to fetch water."

The two women shook their heads, while Shiyu smiled and went back to the living room to start playing games.

Shi Yu cherished the hard-won rest and spent the whole day playing games on the sofa, even having Liu An call her for meals.

After playing against the dark horse all day, Shigure tossed the game controller onto the living room table, stretched, and went outside.

At this moment, Bai Yu and Shi Yanlan walked in, each carrying a fish basket. Shi Yu looked at the small fish in the two baskets, took them, and put them into the sink in the back kitchen.

"These fish were caught quite well."

"I'll make you some dried fish for dinner tonight."

The two women shook their heads, and Shigure noticed that their hair was actually a little damp.

"Where did you two get these fish? You didn't go into the water to catch them, did you?"

Shigure looked at the two people whose animal ears were showing and asked in confusion.

"Weren't you two always afraid of water when you had beast girl characteristics? Especially Bai Yu."

"When you didn't know how to bathe before, I would help you bathe, and you would scream as if the water was going to kill you. It was really scary."

"Go blow-dry your hair quickly..."

"Wait, why aren't your clothes wet?"

At that moment, Steel Claw emerged from the doorway, pointing to his suit, which was already soaked through.

"The two ladies said they wanted to go into the water to catch fish, and seeing that the fish weren't coming up, they jumped in and said they would catch them themselves."

"I was so scared that I jumped down and quickly used my ghostly power to protect the two young ladies, but I ended up getting soaked."

Shi Yu suppressed a laugh and pointed to the bathroom corridor on the first floor.

"Go in and take a shower; there are bathrobes inside."

"Your clothes are in the room on the first floor. There are suits, casual clothes, and pajamas. Go in and choose what you like."

Steel Claw paused for a moment, then pointed to himself.

"Do I...have a room?"

Shi Yu nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"I'll have everything ready for you when you evolve to S-rank and can speak."

"However, you've been living in the shadows for a long time, so the room was prepared but you never moved in, and I've been so busy going out to fight that I almost forgot about it."

"You took that suit from inside too, go take a shower."

"After all, I don't know if ghosts can catch a cold, and if they do, I don't know if cold medicine will work."

Steel Claw paused for a moment, then took off his shoes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Shi Yu smiled, and at that moment Qi Wu drove an extended van and stopped in front of Shi Yu's house.

"Come on, let's go to my bar for a drink."

"It's been a long time since I've been there, and Miaomiao has never been either. Let's take her to see it."

"I've already ordered the food; it will be delivered to the bar."

Shi Yu nodded, and after getting into the car with the two women, she instructed Steel Claw using the contract before getting in herself.

As Shi Yu looked at the bar whose sign read "My Heart Is Shattered," her thoughts were pulled back to the past.

The Japanese soldiers had just arrived and caused trouble; everyone was still drinking inside when they were dragged away.

Shi Yu sighed for a moment, then pushed open the door and went inside.

After entering, Qi Wu went backstage to change into his bartending uniform, while Shi Yu put on the burgundy suit he had worn when bartending before, pulled the sleeves up to his wrists, and started bartending just like Qi Wu.

Everyone was sitting in the bar. The kids watching TV huddled together, the card players huddled together, and the people drinking AD calcium milk sat there drinking AD calcium milk.

A white-haired catgirl sat in front of Shigure, propping her head up with her hand and quietly watching him.

Shi Yu looked at Bai Yu sitting in front of her, took out a wine glass, mixed a glass of wine that was as white as moonlight, and pushed it in front of Bai Yu.

"Salted Moon"

"Don't even think about it, it's alcohol-free."

Bai Yu looked at the salted moon in front of her, took a small sip, and slowly finished drinking it.

Liu An, Gu Yue, Li Shun, and Da Niu had just finished playing cards, and the four of them sat down together at the bar.

However, Li Shun and Da Niu were also forced to work as bartenders, mixing whatever they wanted to drink.

Qi Wu mixed Gu Yue a classic mojito, while Liu An looked at the unfinished drink in Bai Yu's glass and asked curiously.

"Light rain."

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the two responding to him in unison, Liu An thought for a long time before speaking.

"Rain Boy".

"What's the recipe you used to mix drinks for Yu'er?"

"Um..."

"Agave scorched by wildfire, lemon slices bearing the weight of murder, and a pinch of salt made from star tears."

"Without alcohol?"

"It's not that I don't want to bring it, it's that I dare not bring it."

"Bai Yu gets arrogant after drinking a little alcohol. Last time she pinned me down on the bed and kissed me. I dare not let her drink again."

"This girl has superhuman strength; even I can't break free from her."

"I feel ashamed just thinking about being pinned down on the bed by this girl."

Liu An smiled gently, then waved his hand with a hearty gesture.

"A Long Island Iced Tea, please."

Shi Yu glanced at Liu An, then at the Long Island Iced Tea recipe that appeared on her glasses, and said uncertainly.

"Are you sure, sis?"

"This is all strong liquor; you might have to sleep here tonight."

At this moment, Gu Yue and Qi Wu both laughed for a while. In the end, Qi Wu couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and pulled out a can of cola from under the counter and threw it to Shi Yu.

"Don't you know your sister used to be known as a 'heroine of drinking'?"

"Before your sister-in-law left, your sister could drink two jin of baijiu by herself without any problem, but this Long Island Iced Tea really wouldn't make her drunk."

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally started adjusting.

"All right."

"But sis, take it easy."

"Don't go on a drunken rampage."

As Shi Yu finished mixing the drinks, she pushed them in front of Liu An. At that moment, Yu Yan, who had just finished drinking her AD calcium milk, came over. Shi Yu took a glass, opened a can of Sprite, poured a glass, and handed it to her.

"for you."

Children should not drink alcohol.

"Go to hell with Shigure, I'm older than you."

"I'm a senior in college!"

"I'm also a senior; I just skipped a grade this year."

"I don't care, I want to drink it."

"Otherwise, I'll come to your house and cause trouble tonight."

In the end, Qi Wu, seeing that Yu Yan was about to lie on the ground crying and making a scene, still mixed a non-alcoholic mojito and handed it to her.

For no other reason than that I won't get drunk.
