# Chapter 371: Did You Chant the Incantation?
It wasn't that Victoria was lying—it really smelled amazing!
Jiangnan was cackling inside.
Eat up!
If you didn't eat, wouldn't all my preparations be for nothing?
As for why I dared to eat?
Opening a space wormhole in my mouth? Standard procedure, okay?
"Look at me, so careless—I forgot you're not used to using chopsticks!"
"Here! Let me feed you! Ah～"
With that, he picked up a bunch of bean sprouts and offered them.
Victoria smiled charmingly.
"Ah～"
[From Nightingale: Resentment Value +666!]
Could the scene be any more harmonious?
Are you sure this woman is actually here to kill you?
Andrei curled his lips and silently took a gulp of life water.
Victoria narrowed her eyes: "This smells so good too. I like it."
"So when do we start talking business?"
Jiangnan grinned: "You brought the spirit pearl?"
"Of course I did."
"But you mentioned you wanted to discuss long-term cooperation with us?"
Jiangnan shrugged: "Naturally! But I need to understand your situation first, right?"
Victoria: "There's not much I can tell you. I can only say we're members of the Light Society."
"An organization that has existed for a very long time—long before the spiritual energy revival, even. To some extent, it has guided the course of this era."
"Its foundation is even stronger than some nations."
"Lord Odin does think highly of you. If you join the Light Society, the organization won't restrict you in any way, and it will provide you with corresponding cultivation resources."
"As for more details, you'll learn after you join."
Jiangnan's eyes flickered. The Light Society?
Interesting.
Victoria fanned her face: "Phew～ Your place is so hot! I'll just take off my coat."
With that, she slipped off her coat, revealing a wine-red high-neck tight sweater that made her even more alluring.
Jiangnan rubbed his chin. Just a little hot?
Diamond rank really is powerful—she clearly hasn't eaten enough chives.
"Ah～ Here! Another bite!"
"Hehe～ You're so thoughtful～"
Meanwhile, Andrei, sitting at the side, couldn't take it anymore. He curled his lips and said, "I really don't get what Lord Odin is thinking! Letting this shady bastard into the Light Society?"
"He'll get everyone killed!"
Victoria snapped angrily: "How dare you speak to Jiangnan like that?"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: "Looks like Brother Andrei has some misunderstanding about me."
Andrei got agitated.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
"I didn't blame you for the Suka incident back then—different positions, serving different masters!"
"Bang!"
Andrei tore the diamond necklace from his neck and slammed it onto the table.
"This thing! Explain it to me, damn it!"
"I followed your advice and soaked it in water for half a year! It did absolutely nothing!"
"Are you messing with me? Am I冤枉 you?"
Nightingale stared at the necklace on the table in horror.
Is this guy an idiot?
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "How could it not work? Why would I mess with you? I was pretty heartbroken when I sold it to you back then!"
Andrei was furious: "You still want to fool me? Then why didn't it work when I drank it?"
Jiangnan: "Did you chant the incantation? Were you devout enough? It's impossible for it not to work!"
Andrei's smile froze: "In-incantation? No..."
I really couldn't stick with it!
That incantation was way too freaking embarrassing, okay?
I'm supposed to be a boss—how could I recite that out loud?
Don't I have a reputation to maintain?
Jiangnan: "Well there you go! Of course it won't work if you don't chant the incantation!"
Andrei glared: "Bullshit! If it really worked, would it matter whether I chanted or not?"
Jiangnan: "Try it then?"
"Fine, I'll try! I refuse to believe your nonsense!"
Their argument left Nightingale and Victoria completely bewildered.
What in the world are you two talking about?
Then Andrei actually put the diamond necklace from the table into his cup!
He poured hot water in, and then added a few goji berries.
Nightingale: *Pfft*...
You... you actually soaked it in water?!
Goji berries?
What the hell are goji berries doing in there?!
As for Victoria, she was already covering her face with disgust.
Why did I have to bring such a weirdo with me this time?!
"Watch! Watch it not work!"
Jiangnan patted his chest: "Don't worry, bro! If it doesn't work, you can kill me!"
"This stuff has a strong kick. Eat some dumplings first to line your stomach!"
Andrei immediately ate half a plate of dumplings and wiped his mouth.
Then he stood up, raised the cup, and took a deep breath.
He opened his mouth to speak, but glanced at Victoria and Nightingale beside him.
His face flushed red. He hemmed and hawed for ages but couldn't get a single word out.
Jiangnan urged: "Don't you want to become as strong as me?"
"Don't you want to become a real man?"
"Don't you want to transform into an invincible war god?"
"Don't go against your heart! Say it out loud! Roar it out!"
Andrei's eyes widened, his face full of determination. He bellowed at the top of his lungs:
"Invincible Diamond Treasure King!"
"Partying every night, I am the strongest!"
"Bottoms up! ROAR!"
With that, he raised the cup and chugged it down.
Nightingale: Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) *Gaaaag!*
He... he actually drank it!
My eyes!
Damn it! What kind of scene is this?!
At that moment, Nightingale's worldview was teetering on the edge of collapse.
She had no idea what was going on,
but Jiangnan had only said a few words and managed to fool this Platinum-rank powerhouse like that?
He didn't even care about face?!
I spit on that!
How is he this persuasive?!
Nan Shen's mouth is way too deadly!
Victoria's expression grew more and more horrified as she looked at Andrei.
She was shaking with disgust.
She stood up, moved her chair, and sat as far away from Andrei as possible.
I don't know this big idiot!
How were you able to roar that out and muster the courage to drink it?!
Andrei, after downing the cup, saw the disgusted looks from Nightingale and Victoria, and his face turned even redder.
Jiangnan: "Pfft... hmm!!!"
Under the table, he was frantically pinching his thigh.
Hold it! Must hold it in!
Andrei got anxious: "Laughing? Did you just laugh? You were messing with me after all! I'll—"
Before he could finish cursing,
"BANG!"
The side of the table where Andrei was sitting suddenly lifted up!
It almost flipped the entire table over!
The half-plate of chive and egg dumplings he had eaten had already taken effect.
The sudden movement startled both Nightingale and Victoria.
What... what's going on?
No one touched the table—why did one side lift up?
Everyone's eyes focused on Andrei, who was standing up.
The side of the table that lifted was exactly where Andrei was sitting.
Andrei: (ŎﾛŎ‧̣̥̇)
Th-this actually works?!
Oh my god!
Unable to withstand the weight of the table, Andrei quickly sat back down.
The table dropped with a thud.
Victoria covered her mouth, utterly shocked, as if she'd seen something unbelievable.
Nightingale tilted her head, utterly confused: "Jiangnan? Why did the table lift up just now? His hands clearly weren't lifting it!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Did you seriously study page nine of your seventh-grade biology textbook, second semester?"
Nightingale: "Huh?"
