Chapter 2561: Gentlemen! Look to the Heavens
But leaving it in Black God's hands was indeed a good place for it, since besides Zhang San, no matter who carried it out, there was a risk of the Bose Clan discovering it!
Once discovered, they'd have to endure not only the wrath of the Bose Clan, but the Silicon-Based would also come to join the fun. Better to play it safe!
The matter of the Cosmic Seed was temporarily set aside. With victory in hand, everyone put aside all worries at this moment, enjoying the present to the fullest!
Just drink!
Last time when they saw Jiangnan off, Odin, Baldr, and the others not only failed to get Jiangnan drunk, but were also each bashed on the head, and even half-asleep, they were carried to a small dark room and had their kidneys harvested!
All the spare parts Wang Youzhi had were cobbled together back then!
Odin, Pang Badi, and the others had held a grudge ever since!
Today, even if it meant risking their lives, they had to knock Jiangnan down!
Baldr slammed the table hard:
(｡･ˇ口ˇ･)ﾂ┳━┳ "Red wine, white liquor, spirit water, industrial alcohol—bring it all on! I refuse to believe we can't take down Boss Nan!"
At his words, everyone's eyes burned with blazing fighting spirit!
Jiangnan waved his hand grandly:
(〃︶↼︶) "Hah! Joke! The Great Wall won't fall, so I won't fall! Snowflakes won't drift, so I won't drift! Do you think my reputation as the 'submarine floor drain' is for nothing?"
"Nightingale! Bring me a bathtub! Let's fight!"
No sooner had he spoken than with a clang, Nightingale had already brought a bathtub and set it in front of Jiangnan!
She frantically poured wine into it without pause!
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥)...
"You're serious?"
How could I possibly back down?
Just then, Baldr roared:
(ꐦ͡°益͡°) "Hold on! If we're drinking, let's do it for real, none of that flashy nonsense! Submarine floor drain? Are you really that leaky?"
With that, he pulled out a pile of Spirit-Binding Jade Handcuffs: "No domain, no abilities! Do you dare? No one leaves standing today, and whoever goes to the bathroom is a grandson!"
Everyone's mouths twitched. What the hell kind of handcuffs are those?
Drinking while wearing handcuffs? This scene is a bit off, isn't it?
A minute later, everyone who joined the drinking group was handcuffed together!
Of course, Freya was there—she was the most eager, thinking this was paradise!
Batti snapped his fingers, and bathtubs appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, even the wine automatically filling up!
He grinned mischievously:
(՞ټ՞) "You guys drink—I'll just watch!"
Baldr, Odin, and the others' faces darkened. You sure love watching the chaos, don't you?
Jiangnan glared: (˵¯͒口¯͒) "Bring it on!"
With that, he grabbed the bathtub!
(˘～˘)っTub "This cup! To the brothers who participated in the Cosmic Grand Hunt—you've worked hard!"
As he spoke, he swung the bathtub, and the full load of wine splashed out like a wave toward the table!
Yang Jian was just about to take a bite of roast duck when the wave of wine descended like a downpour, drenching him completely!
Not even the roast duck was spared; even the chopsticks in his hand were washed away!
=͟͟͞͞(‧̣̥̇꒪‧̣̥̇ー‧̣̥̇꒪‧̣̥̇)……
He stood there, petrified!
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "Jiang! Nan!"
[From Yang Jian: Resentment Points +777]
Jiangnan laughed: (⌒ㅂ⌒;) "Ahahaha! I finished mine, you guys do as you please!"
He then raised the bathtub to his lips, but there wasn't a single drop left—he'd splashed it all out!
But Batti snapped his fingers again, and the bathtub was refilled!
Jiangnan: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)…
Batti teased: (˵՞̫՞) "Drink up! Why aren't you drinking? We're waiting for you to finish!"
Odin laughed: "Exactly! Are you raising fish in there?"
Jiangnan looked at the wine in the bathtub. This wasn't just for raising fish—you could swim in it!
(•́ω•̀٥) "Um… can I switch to a smaller container? I…"
"No!" ×N
Under everyone's gaze, Jiangnan knew he couldn't escape. He stomped his foot, closed his eyes, and drank!
He tilted his head back, lifted the bathtub, and started gulping. But Jiangnan was only human; his stomach couldn't hold that much wine.
However, could that stump Jiang the Clever? Not at all!
He immediately activated Blood Incineration to max, the scorching heat continuously evaporating the liquid in his body, turning it into high-temperature steam!
White smoke rose from him, but alcohol could only be partially metabolized. By the time he'd downed half, he was already getting dizzy!
In desperation, he activated the Baleful Flame Secret Art!
Everyone was stunned. Can he even do that?
Just for a drink? Is he really trying this hard? He's using Blood Incineration and the Baleful Flame Secret Art!
Under everyone's horrified gaze, Jiangnan actually finished the entire bathtub of white liquor mixed with beer, his head spinning!
(*¯口¯*;) "Burp~~~"
A burp lasting over ten seconds echoed, like a hurricane!
(*¯ㅿ¯*;) "Come on! Now it's your turn! Burp~"
Odin, Baldr, and the others' faces turned green. Who knew Jiangnan could actually drink that much?
They dug their own graves, and now they had to crawl out crying!
With a fierce look in their eyes, Odin, Pang Badi, and the others grabbed their bathtubs and drank, some even burying their faces in them!
Freya urged eagerly: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "I've been waiting forever! Men drinking—why so slow?"
She grabbed her bathtub and started chugging!
But one after another, they fell short. Odin plunged his head into the tub and didn't move; Martin leaned back in his chair, wine spraying from his mouth like a small fountain!
Baldr secretly used his domain to compress the space in his stomach, barely managing to finish the tub!
Only Freya was ridiculous. The more she drank, the bigger her belly got, popping buttons off like hidden weapons!
Her little white belly jiggled, swelling and shrinking repeatedly. No one knew how it worked, but she actually finished an entire bathtub!
She slammed the tub on the table, cheeks flushed, casually lifting her skirt to wipe her mouth, one foot on the stool, the other on the table!
"Yahoo~ (*¯ㅿ¯*;) Burp~ So good! Another one! The real battle has just begun! Little Ku! Pour your sister some wine!"
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) Kupper covered his face. I've had such bad luck falling for this thing?
The scene was incredibly lively. Liu Mang immediately summoned thousands of scantily clad young men and women to entertain!
Zhang San and Li Si were drinking together, and Vivian was competing with herself!
By now, the bathtub battle had gone eight rounds. Mountain Cat watched as Luo Jiaoyang, drunk and red-faced, called Jiangnan his little brother, her face dark!
Mi Ye was also having a small drink with Bai Kou and Chong Feiyu!
Bai Kou handed over a glass of red wine, blew on it lightly, and frost formed on the glass!
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Here~ Sister Mi Ye! You like this, right?"
Mi Ye giggled and downed the glass in one gulp:
(乛◡乛*) "Sister does like this, but you seem a bit sweeter~"
Bai Kou blushed:
(⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷᷄﹏ᵒ̴̶̷᷅⸝⸝) "Ah... aiyah~ Be serious! What are you saying? You're so... so bad!"
Mi Ye laughed incessantly: "Today's a rare happy day, so we can't just drink plain. We need something exciting!"
With that, she went straight to Jiangnan!
Jiangnan, already a bit hazy: (⸝⸝⁼̴～⁼̴) "Hm? Bad Sister? You..."
"Shh~ Don't talk, just leave it to me~"
She opened her mouth and, to everyone's shock, bit Jiangnan's neck, sucking hard!
Her face was full of enjoyment!
Jiangnan's eyes flew wide open, and he was so drained he rolled his eyes and kicked his legs!
After a long while, Mi Ye staggered to her feet, looking dazed:
(⑉⁼̴▿⁼̴⑉) "Blood alcohol content: 1000 mg/ml! Way over the limit! As expected, no matter how long it's been, Little Lan's blood is still this explosive~"
With that, she rolled her eyes and fell asleep in Jiangnan's arms!
Jiangnan, sobered up quite a bit by the heavy sucking, felt he could go a few more rounds!
He shook Mi Ye:
(*⁰̷̴͈◠⁰̷̴͈) "Hey hey~ Bad Sister? Get up! Get up and suck some more of my blood so I can fight them again!"
But Mi Ye was already completely unconscious!
Bai Kou: (•́ω•̀٥)…
"Who told you to go for something exciting? Now look—it's too exciting, right?"
Even Yang Jian was a bit dizzy by now. He glanced at the time and couldn't help but smile!
"Gentlemen! Look to the heavens!"
Everyone, drunk and disoriented, was confused. Why did Brother Jian suddenly say that in the middle of the night?
They turned to look at the night sky!
The night sky in the Dimensional Gap was desolate, except for the burning blue moon, without a single star!
But as the midnight bell tolled, a brilliant light rose from the ground, shot into the sky, and exploded!
Vivid fireworks scattered and flickered, filling the entire sky!
One, then two, more and more, like a meteor shower flowing upward, exploding in the night sky!
In an instant, the entire Nine Heavens Archipelago was enveloped in brilliant fireworks, dazzling as blooming flowers!
Everyone was stunned. Even Odin, who had his head in the bathtub, stared blankly at the sky!
It wasn't just here. In cities, towns, fireworks rose into the air, lighting up the night!
Decorating this desolate night with a riot of colors, breathtakingly beautiful!
And not just fireworks—among them were brilliant spirit techniques shooting into the sky!
All the spirit warriors on Lan Xing were celebrating this moment, reveling in humanity's victory!
Even atop the Nine Heavens Archipelago, they could hear the cheers rising like waves from the ground!
Looking out, the night sky was like a colorful painting, all sorts of colors blending in the sky!
Everyone was dumbfounded, goosebumps running from their spines to their crowns!
Jiangnan murmured: "This... this is..."
Yang Jian smiled: "This is a gift from all of humanity! A token of their gratitude! They watched your backs as you fought for the progress of the human race!"
"This thanks, this sentiment, they wanted to convey it to you no matter what. So they lit up the night sky! Using the heavens as a canvas, they performed a romance for the billions of human compatriots!"
"You are humanity's heroes! You deserve this!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes held warmth. This is what we fight for!
Odin smiled and broke free from his handcuffs: "We've received everyone's feelings! Let me add another color to the sky!"
"Aurora Sky!"
He waved his hand, and a magnificent aurora spilled across the night sky, fireworks and spirit techniques blooming endlessly below!
It was so beautiful it felt like being in a dream!
Jiangnan gazed at the brilliant night sky, his eyes shining. The light from the fireworks reflected on his face!
No matter how many times, every time he saw fireworks bloom, he recalled the emotion of his first time seeing them, and his nose tingled!
Looking back on all the hardships, grievances, setbacks, and bitterness he'd endured, under this fireworks display, it all seemed to vanish like smoke!
Lights of ten thousand homes, peace for the nation!
Comrades by his side, a thriving age of song!
"It was worth it!"
