Although Fatty Guan Jun was skeptical, he still carried the wine pot to Xiao Lingyu's table.
"As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. When we fought in the duel arena, we both won and lost. Fortunately, none of us were injured. It is fate that brought us together, so I propose a toast to all of you." After Guan Jun finished speaking, he drained his cup to the brim.
However, Xiong Meng and the others only glanced at Guan Jun, but no one responded. Naturally, no one raised their cups.
Guan Jun's expression was slightly awkward. After a moment of silence, he said, "If you can do me the honor, I will treat everyone to a meal at your table today."
"Tch!"
Zhang Hai didn't appreciate it, and the other three male cultivators were the same.
"Haha, since someone is treating, why don't we give face?"
Miss Jing, however, smiled. She picked up her cup of Hanging Pearl Wine and took a sip.
Although Xiong Meng and the others were unwilling, they still raised their cups.
But after drinking a cup, Zhang Hai suddenly said with a smirk, "I think we should add some wine and dishes."
The so-called "add some wine and dishes" naturally meant that he wanted to rip Guan Jun off.
"Brother, you have an imposing appearance and a steady aura. You must be an expert. Come, let me propose a toast to you."
The fat cultivator circled to the front of Xiao Lingyu, and once again, he drained it to show his respect.
After finishing his cup, Guan Jun filled Xiao Lingyu's cup with wine from his wine pot. It seemed that he wanted Xiao Lingyu to drink his wine.
"I'll drink this." Xiao Lingyu pointed at the cup of wine and said calmly.
Guan Jun shook his head and said, "The taste of this wine is indeed wonderful, but it doesn't have any alcohol strength. It's a wine for women. It's not good to drink it. My wine is strong and strong. It's more suitable for men like us."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and nodded. Then, he slowly raised the wine cup that Guan Jun had filled to the brim. In the process of bringing the cup to his mouth, he had already confirmed that there was no problem with the wine, so he very generously drank it in one gulp.
Then, Guan Jun toasted everyone present. But to Xiao Lingyu's surprise, Guan Jun sat next to him and kept clinking cups with him.
"Is he going to compete with me in drinking?"
Xiao Lingyu was a little puzzled. After all, he didn't have any interaction with Guan Jun. Why did Guan Jun not look for Xiong Meng or Miss Jing but came to him?
Although he didn't understand, Xiao Lingyu wasn't afraid of competing with others in drinking. Once the wine entered his stomach, he would wrap it with his chaotic divine power so that it couldn't dissipate.
Xiong Meng and the others were thinking about what to add to the wine and dishes, so they didn't care about Xiao Lingyu and Guan Jun's drinking competition. In fact, they were happy that Guan Jun wanted to compete with Xiao Lingyu because they knew that Xiao Lingyu was a Divine Monarch expert. He wouldn't be drunk by a Middle-stage Divine God cultivator.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu was that the thin cultivator who came with Guan Jun was also staring at him, as if trying to find his weakness.
In fact, Xiao Lingyu had already noticed that this thin cultivator was a Divine Lord powerhouse. Since he was being targeted by a Divine Lord powerhouse, he naturally had to be a bit more cautious.
"This damned fatty must have been sent by the skinny cultivator to test my strength."
Although Xiao Lingyu was aware of this, he didn't end the drinking competition. Instead, he took the initiative to drink with Guan Jun.
As more and more wine was poured, Guan Jun's face turned red, and so did Xiao Lingyu.
However, Guan Jun's drunkenness was real, but Xiao Lingyu's was fake.
Guan Jun's state naturally couldn't be hidden from Xiao Lingyu's eyes. Xiao Lingyu kept pretending that he was in the same state as Guan Jun.
Not long after, Xiao Lingyu pretended to be drunk and collapsed on the table.
Guan Jun pointed at Xiao Lingyu and laughed foolishly a few times, then fell down with a plop.
The drinking competition was obviously over, but the result was that Xiao Lingyu and Guan Jun were evenly matched.
The pot of wine that Guan Jun brought, as well as the wine that he ordered from the waiter, were all of the stronger varieties. Ordinary Divine Monarchs couldn't drink too much of it.
Xiong Meng and the others had already expected Guan Jun to be drunk, but they never thought that Xiao Lingyu would be the first to fall.
Miss Jing frowned as she looked at Xiao Lingyu. Then she shook her head and sighed. "He rarely drinks such strong alcohol in the past. I'm afraid he'll be drunk for a while before he wakes up."
The thin cultivator who had been watching from the side thought, "Did I see wrongly?"
"Go and carry the young master back to rest." The thin cultivator instructed the two maids.
The two maids did as they were told and carried the fat cultivator, Guan Jun. But just as they were about to leave, Zhang Hai suddenly said, "Your fat young master said that he'll pay for this table."
"Waiter, come here!"
The skinny cultivator shouted. When a waiter who was free came over, he said, "How much is it for these two tables?"
The waiter took out an account book, glanced at it, and said, "It's a total of thirty thousand high-grade divine stones."
"No way? So much? "
Zhang Hai and the others who weren't drunk were very surprised. Because Guan Jun said that he would treat them, they didn't look at the price when ordering.
The thin cultivator was a Divine Monarch expert, so he naturally didn't care about tens of thousands of high-grade divine stones. He casually threw a storage bag on the table and went downstairs.
The waiter had already scanned the storage bag with his divine sense and put it away with satisfaction. He estimated that the divine stones inside were enough to pay the bill.
Xiao Lingyu was already drunk on the table, and Xiong Meng and the others were also full. Naturally, they didn't continue to stay.
Ma Chun and Ma Qiu carried Xiao Lingyu, and everyone left the VIP building.
"Where are we going?" Zhang Hai asked.
"Let's go to the opposite side and get a few rooms to rest." Xiong Meng pointed at a shop opposite and said.
In the cities of the Celestial Realm, there were many inn-like shops. These shops only provided side rooms and quiet rooms for drunken cultivators or cultivators who needed to meditate and cultivate in the city. Generally, they charged a fixed fee, but the fee was generally not too expensive.
After choosing a few quiet rooms adjacent to each other, Xiao Lingyu was placed on a wooden bed by Ma Chun. Then, Xiong Meng and the others went to their own rooms, leaving only Ma Chun at Xiao Lingyu's bedside.
Ma Chun also drank wine. He also needed to meditate to refine the wine.
After drinking a lot of wine, the cultivators were in a bad state and were not suitable to do other things.
Four hours later, Xiao Lingyu, who was lying on the bed and silently refining the wine, suddenly smelled a fragrance. Then, she felt that her consciousness was in a trance.
Ma Chun, who was meditating at the head of the bed, directly fell on the bed.
"Not good. Could it be the sleeping incense?"
Xiao Lingyu was shocked. Just as he was about to get up, his divine sense detected a familiar figure outside the door. He immediately dismissed the impulse to get up and pretended to be unconscious from the sleeping incense.
A moment later, the figure pushed open the door.
The person who came was none other than Miss Jing, who Xiao Lingyu had been very curious and suspicious about.
"What is she doing here? Why did she drug us before coming in? "Xiao Lingyu was secretly on guard as he pondered.
The sleeping incense was very strong. If it wasn't for the gray-black metal piece in Xiao Lingyu's Golden Soul Pearl absorbing the sleeping incense, he would've inevitably lost consciousness.
After Miss Jing entered the room, she first closed the door. Then, she walked to the head of the bed and helped Ma Chun into a cross-legged sitting position.
Then, she took out a small jade bottle, which was half filled with a pale green liquid that looked like fruit juice.
Miss Jing opened the jade bottle and dripped the light green juice into Ma Chun's mouth.
Then, she aimed the bottle at Xiao Lingyu's mouth. It seemed she was going to drip some green juice on Xiao Lingyu as well.
Xiao Lingyu didn't know what the green liquid was, so he naturally wouldn't allow it to enter his mouth. He immediately reached out and grabbed Miss Jing's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Lingyu sat up straight and narrowed his eyes.
"Do you think I'll harm you?"
As Miss Jing spoke, the bracelet on her wrist suddenly flashed with white light and bounced Xiao Lingyu's hand away.
"One shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but one must always be on guard against others. I'm not related to you, so I naturally have to be careful," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"You're too careful. I concocted this just to save you, not to harm you."
Miss Jing put away the jade bottle. "But since you're not drunk, there's no need to waste it."
"Hehe, you really have a lot of good stuff on you."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "It's a bit unfair for you to be in a small mercenary group."
"Unfair? I don't think so at all. Instead, I feel very happy. Hunting with them, carrying out missions with them, watching them laugh and worry, feeling the warmth and harmony of the group. To me, this is a rare kind of peace and happiness. "Miss Jing shook her head. She left the bed and walked out the door.
As they reached the entrance, Miss Jing suddenly stopped. She turned and said, "That fat man definitely won't give up. The one he brought to the honored guest tower is a Divine Lord powerhouse; I estimate that he will attack us. The reason he had the fat man compete with you in drinking was in truth to probe your depths; he didn't have any intention of targeting you."
Xiao Lingyu had already thought of this. He smiled and said, "Should I directly make that fatty drunk during the drinking competition and then act normal? That way, the Divine Monarch expert will back off."
Miss Jing frowned and said, "Even if they know you're a Divine Monarch expert, they won't back off. They'll find someone stronger or even more Divine Monarchs."
Xiao Lingyu pretended to be relaxed. "It seems that if I deliberately get drunk, they'll look down on me."
Miss Jing nodded and said, "I know you're very careful and don't want to cause trouble, but please don't leave now. It's best if you can help us deal with this Divine Monarch expert first."
