Chapter 314 What You Want to Protect
After the waiter left, Jiang Ming and Zhuoli began to eat and drink.
It was also because the two were too powerful that ordinary alcohol could not make them drunk. They drank more and more, and the wine jars piled up next to their table formed a circle. Even the guests at other tables showed horror in their eyes when they saw the situation.
"What's going on at that table? They drank so much and acted like nothing happened?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Did you see that vicious guy? If you don't want to die, don't point fingers at them."
"But they drank too much, didn't they? You don't usually see people drinking so much."
"Do the people in the mountains also drink alcohol and eat meat?"
Other people in the inn were talking about the two of them, but they didn't dare to speak too loudly.
Zhuoli's appearance was too stressful, and since they had drunk so much alcohol, it made people want to come closer to take a look from time to time.
After the two of them drank countless jars of wine, Zhuoli grabbed the jar and placed it beside the table. There seemed to be a bit of casualness on his cold face.
"Now I understand why some people don't pursue strength and are willing to enjoy life." Zhuoli said in a deep voice.
"Oh? You also think drinking is interesting?" Jiang Ming asked with a smile.
"It depends on the person. Since you are my opponent, I naturally think this is an interesting thing. Others are not qualified to drink with me." As he said this, Zhuoli poured another bowl of wine from the jar.
"Don't always call us rivals. The deadline we agreed on hasn't arrived yet, so we can just be friends." Jiang Ming smiled.
After that, Jiang Ming handed over a bowl of wine and said, "Come on, since we are all friends, drink as much as you can! If you don't have enough to drink, let's go drink somewhere else!"
Zhuoli didn't say anything, but still picked up the wine bowl and drank another bowl with Jiang Ming.
After several rounds of toasts, there were fewer and fewer people in the inn, but there were more and more wine jars on the table.
Looking at the two men drinking, not only the waiter but even the owner of the inn felt a little worried.
"Go quickly and tell them to leave!" The boss frowned and asked the waiter to do it.
"But..." The waiter was also a little embarrassed.
"What? You don't want to do this anymore?" The boss glared at the waiter.
Helpless, the waiter had to bite the bullet and walk over.
Before the waiter reached the table, Zhuoli glanced at him sideways and immediately felt a terrible sense of oppression approaching.
But the waiter still forced himself to smile and walked towards Jiang Ming.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our shop is about to close. Please forgive us..." said the waiter.
"Closed? It's not even midnight yet? Don't worry, we won't be short of money." Jiang Ming casually took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and placed it on the table.
When the waiter saw that it was a spirit stone, stars suddenly appeared in his eyes.
But after a while, the waiter could only apologize and said, "My dear guests, it's not that we don't want to do business with you, but you two... are really too big drinkers. You have drunk half of our wine cellar. We still need to do business in the future, so there is really nothing we can do."
Hearing this, Zhuoli on the side put down his wine bowl, with a look of deep anger in his eyes!
"You should feel honored that we two come here to drink, but do you think you are looking down on us with just half a wine cellar?" Zhuoli snorted coldly.
"Sir, that's not what I meant... By the way, didn't I tell you two gentlemen before? The wine in Zhongdao Prefecture is much better than ours. Since you have tasted our wine and found it good, why don't you go to Zhongdao Prefecture to try the best wine?" the waiter said with an apologetic smile.
Having said that, Zhuoli didn't say anything, but looked at the waiter coldly.
This look alone was enough to make Xiao Er feel breathless.
"Okay, okay, now that you've said that, I really want to see the wine from Zhongdaozhou and see how it's different from ours." Jiang Ming stretched and stood up and said.
"Zhuoli, do you want to come with me to try it?"
Zhuoli shook his head: "No need, I recently noticed that the seal in my body has loosened a bit, I can take this opportunity to unlock more of my own power. However, there is one thing I must remind you."
Jiang Ming asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"
Zhuoli said in a deep voice: "I have a vague feeling that other forces are beginning to intervene in this continent. The days ahead will not be as peaceful as they are now. It's okay for me to be alone, but you have too many concerns, which may become an obstacle for you."
After saying that, Zhuoli stood up and walked out of the inn.
On the other hand, Jiang Ming looked at Zhuoli's back with a serious face.
Other forces are beginning to intervene in the continent? Doesn't that mean that people from other star regions are intervening? Or...
A true immortal escaping from the upper realm?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming fell into deep thought.
"Sir?"
At this time, the inn waiter whispered beside Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming came back to his senses after hearing this voice.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Oh, since you recommended that I go to Zhongdaozhou, do you have any restaurant recommendations?" Jiang Ming asked with a smile.
"Of course!"
The waiter smiled and said, "There is a tavern called Jiuyuexuan in Zhongdao Province. It's said that even the royal family often patronizes it!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded slightly: "I understand, then you can take a rest."
After saying that, Jiang Ming drank the wine in the jar in one breath and walked out of the inn with a swagger.
Seeing this, the waiter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at the pile of empty wine jars at his feet and couldn't help but feel a headache.
"What other forces are intervening? Could that big guy be suffering from a middle school syndrome?" the waiter muttered, then turned around to pack up the wine jars.
You know, it's very troublesome to take care of so many wine jars.
…
After leaving the inn, Jiang Ming walked on the street, took a deep breath, and looked at the sky, feeling extremely relaxed.
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, which was still so lively late at night, Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"I really hope I can keep more days like this." Jiang Ming sighed.
In the past, I had always focused on cultivation. Apart from cultivation, the only thing I had left was to carry out missions and come into contact with the leaders of many forces.
As time goes by, I almost forget that I am just one person.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming also felt angry.
"It just so happens that those little guys have gone to Zhongdao Province. I can go and see how they are doing with their mission and have a drink on the way. Hey! It's comfortable without any missions." Jiang Ming walked forward with a smile.
When they reached the entrance of an empty alley, Jiang Ming moved and suddenly disappeared in the alley.
now.
The other side.
Zhuoli stood in the air, looking at Yongdao City below, clasping his hands and shaking his head.
"Jiang Ming, everything you want to protect is too weak. Even if you are strong, weak people are still weak. What will you choose when the time comes?"
Having said that, Zhuoli withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and turned into a wisp of dark red breath, disappearing into the air.
