Drink the Night away!

" UWaaaaah!" I woke up from my slumber with a deep yawn, my body still ached from my wounds, and it appeared that I was bandaged up pretty well. And I was wearing, silk robes? I stood up and looked down at my body and my surroundings, trying desperately to figure out where the hell I was, but nothing made sense. This room was magnificent.

" Good evening Mr. Kang... Oh you are awake. Pleasant greetings. The emperor has requested your presence in his chambers the moment you awoke. Please, allow me to give you your medicine and follow me." The attendant spoke.

" No, thanks. I don't need the medicine. Just take me to your leader." I told the man.

" But sir, your wounds..."

" Will heal shortly. Now, take me to your leader." I told the man.

He seemed hesitant but sighed and nodded in the end.

" Very well, sir. Please follow me.

I nodded and followed the attendant through the halls of the palace. They place was large and illustrious. More magnificent than anything back home and certainly flashier than anything I had seen in Wakanda.

" Do you like the emperor's palace? it was built by the finest craftsmen and workers in all of China. Yes, the emperor has a certain knack for the flashier things." The man spoke.

" He certainly does, doesn't he. Hey, could you maybe tell me how I ended up here in the first place?" I asked the man.

I was certain I hadn't heard Qin Shi Huang say anything about tending to my wounds or anything like that.

" Well, we wouldn't have been able to properly treat your wounds if we hadn't brought you here. And we had never seen the lord so happy. We thought he might appreciate getting to have that drink together after all. Though I may want to warn you, the lord is a bit... Well, he's..."

" Don't worry, I get what you're saying." I told the man. I had fought him for ten days straight without stopping, I know just how much of an enigma the man was.

The man nodded and continued walking on, eventually we came to a room with a giant set of doors.

" The emperor will see you now." The man spoke. He stepped to the side and bowed out, allowing me to enter the room. I put my hands on the door and pushed them open.

The moment I stepped in I was greeted by the sight of a banquet.

" HAO!!!! MY FRIEND! You finally join us." Qin Shi Huang shot to his feet in excitement and ran towards me. " Come! Come! You must join the feast." He spoke.

I looked over the table and saw many assortments of food, ranging from fish, to breads, to rice, and dumplings.

" Liu" A shout from across the table of food brought my attention off of the table.

" Yifei?! What are you doing here?" I asked.

She ran up to me and gave me a hug, I could tell by the look on her face that she had been worried, and after what we did, I guess she had enough reason.

" Well, after we collapsed and were carried back to MY ILLUSTRIOUS PALACE! She showed up here saying that she was related to you and all and I saw how you two acted back at the village yadda yadda yadda here we are now, okay? Okay! LET'S EAT!" He spoke.

" YOU KNOW WHAT?! OKAY!" I shouted in return; I walked alongside Qin back to the table with my arm around his shoulder. He had dawned his decorative blindfold once again and was just as bandaged as I was.

" WAIT A MINUTE YOU TWO!!!!!" Yifei shouted loudly. " YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER AND NOW YOUR FRIENDS?!"

" Well, yeah. That's how it always works ain't it?" I told the woman.

" Yeah, it's all water under the bridge now. No Need to worry about the past. Let's just focus on the future." Qin Shi Huang exclaimed.

He had this certain air about him. Something that was just extraordinary. I felt a kinship with the man that had beaten me so badly.

" Qin, can you hold your booze?" I asked the man.

" Can I hold my drink you ask? Of course, I can." He spoke with pride. he raised his fist and pounded on his chest like a beast.

" Then what do you say to a drinking contest?" I asked the man.

" Ah, just getting up and already ready for another challenge? Very well! Let us test our guts against one another. With food and drink! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

" I cannot believe I find him attractive." Yifei mumbled.

" What was that?" I asked her. I pretended not to have heard her just to tease her, but Yifei became so flustered by me getting close that she turned red as a tomato.

" UGHHH! GO DRINK YOURSELF TO DEATH JERK!!!!" Yifei shouted in my face.

Qin Shi Huang laughed and sat at the table.

" I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU IDIOT!!!!"

" I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!"
