Looking at the bartender's every move while he mixed drinks was enough to get one tipsy; there was a unique aesthetic to it.
...
Daisila and Dainiely, the sisters, couldn't help but glance again at the man's outrageously handsome face and his starlike eyes. A stunning impression washed over them.
Moreover, this bartender possessed an inexplicable aura.
The sisters, Daisila and Dainiely, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, wondering how such a handsome young man could exist in this world.
Finally, the handsome bartender poured the prepared drinks into two glasses and gently pushed them towards Daisila and Dainiely.
The bartender smiled slightly and said, "Guests, your Bitter Kiss is ready. Please enjoy it slowly."
Upon hearing this, the sisters, Daisila and Dainiely, each picked up their glasses and took a gentle sip. Immediately, a bitter taste surged towards their taste buds.
Before the sisters could even spit out the drink, the bitterness vanished, replaced by a sweetness that was difficult to describe in words.
...
The next second, Dainiely picked up her glass again and downed the entire drink.
"It's delicious, another one."
With a slight flush on her face, Dainiely gestured to the handsome bartender in front of her, requesting another glass of the same drink.
The bartender gently shook his head and said softly, "Beautiful lady, please don't drink anymore. You'll get really drunk if you do."
Hearing this, Dainiely slammed the table and, like a child throwing a tantrum, spoke with a fierce but cute tone, "You own a bar, aren't you selling drinks? Call your boss out here, I'm going to complain about you."
Daisila, whose face was also slightly flushed after drinking, tugged at Dainiely, reminding her sister that they were out and to control herself.
...
"Two beautiful ladies, judging by your age, you should both still be underage."
"It wouldn't be good if you came home reeking of alcohol and got scolded by your parents."
The bartender squinted his eyes, slowly wiping the barware with a white handkerchief, and replied calmly.
"What? Do we look underage?"
Dainiely, whose body had fully developed, puffed out her cheeks in anger, almost grabbing the man's collar to question him.
"In Zimanluo, adult women wear a specially made hairpin on their heads to signify their independence."
The bartender shrugged his shoulders and pointed to a nearby adult woman. "If you don't believe me, you can look around."
Daisila nervously pulled Dainiely, looking at the women around them all wearing hairpins. She felt that she and her sister truly seemed like outsiders.
"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have tried to hide it."
Daisila appeared somewhat embarrassed and said apologetically.
At this moment, the handsome bartender spoke again, "It's nothing. It's rare for young ladies to know how to protect themselves when they go out."
This time, even Dainiely, who had a more fiery temper, became a little embarrassed.
...
After a while, Dainiely finally came to her senses and realized something was amiss.
She spoke loudly, "That's not right, sister. How could this guy see through the magic we used to distort everyone's perception?"
"Logically, this guy shouldn't be able to see our true appearances..."
The handsome bartender smiled slightly and explained, "As mages, don't you know that ordinary magic is completely useless in front of high-level mages?"
Upon hearing this, Dainiely stood up and circled the unfamiliar, handsome bartender in front of her, examining him carefully several times before speaking.
"We are third-level mages! Is your mage level even higher than ours?"
"Then why are you working such a menial job as a bartender?"
...
"Beautiful ladies, I'd like to correct you on one point. No job is inherently superior or inferior, and besides, bartending is my hobby."
The handsome bartender, unfazed by Dainiely's questioning, maintained his smiling demeanor and replied with a gentlemanly tone.
"Alright, it's getting late, and we should be going," Daisila said, glancing at her watch and pulling Dainiely, who still wanted to ask more questions.
...
Before leaving, Daisila asked, "We've been chatting for so long, and we still don't know your name. Perhaps we can be friends?"
"You can call me Laixiu."
The handsome bartender replied.
Daisila gazed at Laixiu's sunny, gentle, and handsome face, momentarily lost in thought.
She took her sister Dainiely's hand and introduced them, "My name is Daisila, and this is my sister, Dainiely."
...
Night passed quickly. As dawn broke, the Ye Yu Bar entered its closing hours.
Only a few heavily intoxicated men remained inside the bar, and they were roughly thrown by the security guards into a nearby Moon God Inn, which also belonged to Ye Yu Bar.
...
Beneath the Ye Yu Bar.
In the spacious underground chamber, Laixiu lounged lazily on a sofa, bathed in dazzling light.
On either side of him were small mountains of glittering, enticing gold coins.
At this moment, he exuded an aura of languidness.
Laixiu let out a soft sigh, a sense of weariness beyond his years emanating from him.
He was both the bartender and the owner of Ye Yu Bar.
His identity was the youngest child of the contemporary patriarch of the Thorn family, one of the four great families of the Zimanluo Empire.
His full name was Aus Laixiu.
He was both the bartender and the owner of Ye Yu Bar.
The sisters, Daisila and Dainiely, had not been mistaken in their initial suspicions.
...
The reason Laixiu had the autonomy to choose to become a bar owner was that ten years ago, he voluntarily proposed to relinquish his status as a direct descendant of the Thorn family and his inheritance rights, becoming a collateral member of the Thorn family.
He had lost status and power but gained freedom.
Laixiu was Wu Tao in this reincarnation of illusionary realms.
...
Time gradually moved into August.
The average daily temperature in the capital of the Zimanluo Empire had reached thirty degrees Celsius.
Ladies were already wearing sheer dresses, and gentlemen had switched to summer suits.
Inside Ye Yu Bar, the atmosphere was as lively as usual.
Laixiu stood behind the bar, his slender hands constantly moving, crafting cup after cup of exquisite wine.
Since their first visit, Daisila and Dainiely had grown fond of the place and often came for a drink.
Today, they were, as usual, seated at the bar.
...
Dainiely looked at the circle of women at the bar, all elaborately dressed, revealing various styles of clothing with their bosoms half-exposed, and gritted her teeth.
She didn't know why, but the news that the Ye Yu Bar had a bartender who was handsome, witty, and skilled at mixing drinks had spread...
This news spread like wildfire, and everyone in the vicinity knew about it.
Every night when the two sisters visited, they would see several alluring women sitting at the bar.
These women would flirt and joke with Laixiu, playing around with him, leaving the sisters unable to interject.
Daisila looked at her sister's unconvinced expression and shook her head.
It had to be said that Laixiu's handsome appearance and gentle, witty conversation completely satisfied the desires and expectations of underage girls and married women for boyfriends and husbands alike.
However, this guy Laixiu was too much of a flirt.
In the month they had known him, he had invited a different woman to his room almost every day.
Even if it was a one-night stand, it was too frequent.
He was hardly a suitable partner for a woman to spend her life with.
...
At this moment, Laixiu placed two glasses of chilled drinks he had prepared in front of Daisila and Dainiely.
He said gently, with a hint of flirtation, "This drink is called 'Cupid's Feather Robe.' It has a cool taste and a rich mint aroma, perfect for summer. These two glasses are on me for you, beautiful ladies..."
"Ah... thank you..."
Looking at Laixiu's handsome face, the twin sisters, Daisila and Dainiely, were momentarily lost in thought.
It wasn't until the next second that Daisila and Dainiely snapped back to reality, their faces blushing. They stammered as they clinked their glasses before downing the drinks.
At this moment, the crowd in the bar seemed to fall silent.
Dainiely raised her head blankly and saw a mature, stunning beauty in her thirties approaching.
She wore a sexy, short red dress that barely reached her thighs, and upon closer inspection, one could even glimpse her black underwear.
Her proud figure outlined perfect curves, her fair skin glowed under the lights, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her voluptuous chest was, of course, no less impressive.
As she smiled gently, she instantly captivated the souls of countless men present.
This stunning beauty, with a sway of her hips, walked directly to the bar and sat on a stool.
The next second, a magnetic, seductive voice rang out, "I heard... that this place not only has good wine, but also handsome men?"
"That's why I came to take a look. Meeting the man today, he is indeed extraordinary. I wonder how the wine here tastes?"
...
"You flatter me, madam. Is this your first time here? May I know your name?"
Laixiu put down the half-wiped glass and asked with a warm smile, as if bathed in spring breeze.
This scene instantly ignited jealousy in Daisila and Dainiely, and while secretly cursing Laixiu as a "pig's trotter" (a derogatory term for a womanizer), they simultaneously felt a sense of inferiority.
