Chapter Twenty-Five: The Feast
This is the opening of the feast of the night.
Around a roaring bonfire, sitting on soft ground, without any ornate decorations, a wine feast that unfolds in the midst of nature.
A banquet full of laughter...... Tonight, the monsters who have always admired force are still as bold as ever, even if they are intoxicated by the aroma of fine wine.
The tall man was swallowing the wine in his glass with an astonishing momentum, and his glass was of an extraordinary size, and the capacity must have been terrifying. If ordinary people drink so much wine at one time without stopping, there will undoubtedly be an accident.
And yet -- that's already seventeen cups for men.
"Ahem, no, no......
Unfortunately, the man did not drink all the sixteen cups before him. Instead, halfway through the drink, he stopped drinking without confidence.
"When it comes to drinking, it's still a ghost."
The man smiled bitterly and sighed at Xing Xiong Yongyi.
Although it is a bitter smile, it is difficult to say how much bitterness is contained in his smile.
"yes, yes, you're a far cry compared to meβbut you're pretty good. That Zhiwu Liu."
He patted the man's shoulder heavily, and the attitude of the blonde ghost girl was as cheerful as usual. She almost unceremoniously boasted of her victory.
Although ghosts like to compete with humans...... But it's a bit of a fun thing to do with youkai - especially when she wins. In her opinion, there is no more delicious appetizer than victory.
"You're not far from beating me in terms of drink."
"Maybe......"
That Zhiwuliu nodded very dryly, he didn't have any unwilling admitting that he was inferior to Xingxiong Yongyi in terms of alcohol consumption.
"But it's a little worse than you, isn't it?"
The words of Zhiwuliu, who had half-closed eyes, stabbed Yongyi with the precision of a sharp blade, and the smile on the grimace that was triumphant just now immediately stiffened.
Indeed, in terms of the amount of alcohol, Cuixiang is the true head of the Four Heavenly Kings...... If Yongyi is an abyss, then Cuixiang is a bottomless pit.
ββββOf course, for Na Zhiwuliu, who is just an ordinary drunkard, these two are monster-level opponents no matter which one.
However, Nachi has always been very curious...... How did Tsuika's tiny body hold so much liquid? Or is it that as long as it is wine, the ghost can be loaded with another stomach connected to the bottomless abyss.
It's weird no matter how you think about it.
Without realizing it, Zhiwuliu moved his gaze to Cuixiang.
Want to ask her for answers to her questions?
Naturally not. Nachi only subconsciously began to search for her.
Then he saw ...... The little oni was sitting next to the youkai in the gap, looking very happy and laughing.
γβ¦β¦β¦β¦γ
"Oh yes oh ......"
No matter how you listen to it, the exclamation with ulterior motives came into the ears of Na Zhiwuliu, and he couldn't help but move his gaze with a little disdain to the guy who made this strange sound on the side.
"Is your throat stuck in something? Yongyi."
"Ah, how could it be...... I'm fine."
The smiling ghost girl filled her cup again, and the momentum of pouring clear wine jumped at the eyes of Zhiwuliu.
"How can that sound like you don't look like you at all...... I thought even if the iron got stuck in your throat, it would be swallowed instantly."
"That's right."
Even the iron will be crushed and deformed under the pressure of Yongyi's throat...... Although she looks like a bright blonde beauty on the outside, don't forget that her real body is a "ghost", a monster that humans need to crusade and retreat, and this kind of exaggerated thing can naturally be done.
Although they are both big monsters, then Zhiwuliu can't do this kind of thing easily. I don't know if I thought of that picture, and his face became even more difficult to see.
"You're a muscular monster...... I can't see a lot of muscles on my body."
It relies on the strong muscles of the throat to squeeze the iron, and it does it entirely by the strength of the flesh alone. That Zhiwuliu can only pay tribute to Xingxiong Yongyi, who did this. In terms of single-wheel physique, she is undoubtedly the head of the Four Heavenly Kings.
But what is very strange is that Yongyi's body has such a terrifying simple strength, but Yongyi's body does not have the appearance of strength at all. Indeed, it was a body stronger than the average woman's slenderness - but nothing more. Just like a leopard, it has beautiful, delicate muscles that you may not even be able to see if you don't look closely. It is a matter of course to say that it doesn't match her overwhelming muscles.
"Hmph...... The kind of body shape that looks particularly terrifying and huge is just because the muscle tissue is getting bigger and bigger, and it is simply a quantitative change. I'm not like that, I'm refining my flesh."
The ghost speaks in a tone that is not a big deal about the reason for its strength. Of course, Na Zhiwuliu didn't hear the smugness in her words.
If human muscles are made of paper, then the muscles of youkai are wood, but on top of this, the muscles of Xingxiong Yongyi can probably be said to be meteoric iron. That's why her body is able to strike such a beautiful balance between strength and beauty...... What she pursues is not quantity, but quality, and this difference has created the current Star Bear Yongyi.
"Nachi, you were looking at Suika just now, right?"
"Hey! The conversation is changing too fast, you!"
The abrupt change in direction of the topic made Nachi unable to control his desire to question. However, Yongyi ignored his plans.
"Gee, don't worry about this kind of inconsequential thing. Just answer my question." γβ¦β¦ It's not." "Oh yes oh ......"
After hearing his answer, the ghost let out another voice that made Nachimoru very angry. And that meaningful smile made that wisdom even bigger.
"It's the first time I've noticed that your laughter can make people feel the urge to kill...... "Don't say that, I'm just seeing something new."
Hearing this ambiguous answer, Nachi couldn't help but frown. Obviously, he couldn't understand what Yongyi meant.
"What are you talking about?"
"I saw your gaze...... Obviously, it's going in the direction of Cuixiang. Since I'm not looking at Cuixiang, I must be looking at that Yakumo Murasaki. She's also a beauty, but I didn't expect you to like that." "Me? I like that Yakumo Murasaki?"
Ha-The ridiculous remarks of the wise for Yongyi chuckled. Nachi only has deep suspicion and jealousy of this monster, let alone love at first sight...... It literally made him laugh off his big teeth.
"Since it's not Yakumo Murasaki...... Then you must be looking at the incense."
"Didn't you understand me? Yongyi."
It's rare to use a bit of a tough tone, although he can overcome his feelings and turn into a cold-blooded executioner on the battlefield, but his attitude towards his friend Na Zhiwuliu has always been very refreshing. Now this kind of performance can only be said -- Yongyi just hit his sore spot. Nachi's tough attitude failed to make Xingxiong Yongyi succumb, and at this level, she easily softened, and the powerful youkai who died under her hands in the past would cry bitterly in hell.
"I can see your expression...... Obviously, you're definitely not looking at Cuixiang. No, or rather, it's not interesting. I've been feeling that way for a long time, but now I'm sure of it. Na Zhi -- you like the incense, right? You may not even have found out yet."
P.S: This chapter is a little stuck, and I haven't recovered after two weeks. Although the inspiration came back halfway through the writing, the parents let me sleep. I can only go here first, and divide a chapter into two chapters.
