Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

That evening, Du Weiguo lavishly booked out all the stalls along the Honghe River embankment that were closing late.

The banquet had just begun when Guo Fu, Ellie, and Chunsheng all received the news and rushed over.

For the first time, the various groups of evil spirits had a get-together in different locations, enjoying a hearty drinking session.

A dozen or so people, each one a giant liquor vat, forced down more than twenty cases, a full hundred bottles of Lion's Milk (Lack liquor).

Rak is the national drink of Persia, with an alcohol content of over 40%, making it a strong spirit.

However, when ice is added, this stuff undergoes the Uzo effect, turning into a milky white liquid, which is the origin of the name "lion's milk".

Once it's turned into milk, the taste of lag becomes exceptionally smooth and mellow, with almost no trace of the spiciness of the alcohol.

Therefore, this wine is extremely intoxicating, and there are often drunkards who die from it in Persia.

The drinking went on so intensely that the world seemed to lose its light, and by the end, almost everyone was completely drunk. However, the benefits were also obvious.

Alcohol is the best catalyst for enhancing relationships; after a big drinking session, the sense of alienation between groups of people is greatly alleviated.

The most obvious example is that Guo Fu, the first one to get drunk, actually took the initiative to hug Miss Hu.

"I remember you. I saw you when I first arrived in Hong Kong. I even held you while you slept and gave you a bath. You were so beautiful back then, and I liked you very much."

Guo Fu's face was flushed, her eyes were glazed, and she clung tightly to Miss Hu like an octopus.

She was hiccuping as she murmured unconsciously.

"That is, even now, I don't dislike you. In fact, I admire you. I know you are capable, very capable, and can be of great help to me."

"But, but I'm also afraid of you. I'm afraid you'll steal my life. If only you could be like you were before, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Guo Fu was very drunk, her voice was slurred and her words were incoherent, but Miss Hu still understood her.

Previously, she was just a big fox. No matter how capable she was, there was still a species barrier between her and Du Weiguo, and she posed almost no threat to Guo Fu.

But now things are different. Miss Hu has become a stunningly beautiful woman with extraordinary abilities, and her threat level has skyrocketed.

At this moment, the effects of the alcohol were rising, and Guo Fu could barely keep her eyes open, but she still stubbornly muttered:

"Please, please change back, okay?"

Change back? Are you kidding me? Do you think this is role-playing?
Miss Hu was both annoyed and amused, and with a look of utter despair, she cast a questioning glance at Du Weiguo.

Her meaning was very clear: this little thing is too annoying, can I just knock her out?
After drinking for so long, only the two of them remained sober; everyone else had passed out.

Miss Hu was a heavy drinker, capable of drinking almost a thousand cups without getting drunk, while Du Weiguo, with his abnormal physique, could drink indefinitely.

Seeing the look Hu Da-guniang gave him, Du Weiguo chuckled, picked up his wine glass, raised it to her, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"People speak the truth when they're drunk, so let her say it."

"After all, she's only a teenager, still a child, yet she's shouldering the heavy responsibility of a nation. The pressure is immense, and she usually has no one to confide in. It's good for her to vent."

Du Weiguo could clearly sense that Hu Da-guniang's complaints were somewhat insincere, and that she actually quite appreciated Guo Fu's genuine closeness after drinking.

She really liked Guo Fu.

Darwin said that there is compatibility, or magnetic field, between all intelligent life forms.

Those whose personalities are compatible will feel like old friends at first sight; those whose personalities are incompatible will be like fire and water.

Du Weiguo wholeheartedly agreed. His current sensory abilities were already able to vaguely distinguish the differences between magnetic fields, but so far, this ability was limited to humans.

Guo Fu and Miss Hu are clearly compatible and naturally drawn to each other. If Du Weiguo hadn't been in their way, they probably would have become sisters.

Miss Hu was also a little tipsy, her face flushed. She gave Du Weiguo a disapproving look:
"Do you think I'm a dumping ground? If you want to comfort the child, comfort him yourself, don't drag me into it!"

"Hey~" Du Weiguo swirled the wine in his glass, raising an eyebrow and chuckling:
"Hu Da, are you sure you want me to coax her?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Hu's expression immediately changed. Damn it, if he coaxed her, she would definitely end up in bed with him.

However, before she could reply, Guo Fu had already answered for her.

"Huff~ Huff~" She could no longer resist the effects of the alcohol and fell headfirst into Miss Hu's arms, snoring evenly from her nose.

She was truly asleep; no one can pretend to be asleep in front of Du Weiguo and Miss Hu.

"Tch, they really are heartless and have no sense of caution. With just these skills, can they really shoulder the burden of a nation?"

Miss Hu disgustedly "stripped" Guo Fu off her and threw her onto a chair next to her. Although it seemed rude, her actions were actually very measured.

Then, she glanced disapprovingly at the others who were lying haphazardly drunk.

"And these guys, every single one of them is a decent one, but they're all dead drunk. If any ordinary person came along, they could slit their throats one by one."

"Hehehe~" Du Weiguo laughed.

He straightened up, walked around to sit next to Miss Hu, picked up the wine bottle on the table, filled her wine glass first, and then filled his own.

"Because you and I are here, they dare to let their guard down. Everyone is usually on edge, so it's actually quite good to let loose a little sometimes."

"Hu Da, you too, don't be so tense, I've got you covered!"

"What did Li Bai say again? Oh right, 'Enjoy life while you can, for tomorrow you may die!' Come, cheers!"

As he spoke, he affectionately put his arm around Miss Hu's shoulder and even raised his wine glass to clink with hers.

"Tch, stop trying to pull your act off. You talk a good game but you're not, and you even have everything under your belt?"

Miss Hu shrugged her shoulders in a huff, picked up her wine glass but didn't drink it, instead giving him a meaningful glare.

"Master Du? You're always running off to seek pleasure and disappear for months at a time. How can I possibly rely on you?"

"Tsk~"

Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo couldn't help but grin, his face burning with shame, feeling as if he had been caught in the act of adultery.

By the way, he and Azhi had been separated for several days, and before coming to Kayserly, he had also experienced Zhao Yingnan and Moran.

As a result, Miss Hu still managed to smell the scent.

She is constantly improving, and now her sense of smell is only slightly inferior to that of people with exceptional sense of smell.

"Hey Hu Da, the atmosphere is great, let's not talk about these unpleasant things."

Du Weiguo chuckled and tried to soften the tone, but Miss Hu remained unconvinced. Her eyes grew increasingly resentful, and her tone became even more bitter.

"Tell me, who is this new sister? Which territory are you planning to assign to her?"

"Uh~" Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Du Weiguo could only bite the bullet and reply:

“She’s just an ordinary person, completely ignorant of the underworld, and doesn’t even know my true identity. I don’t intend to let her know.”

"Hehe~" Miss Hu chuckled.
"I understand. I'm tired of harem games, so I'm trying something different: pure romance. I'm hiding my identity because I don't want her to suffer any harm." Although her words were still harsh, her expression was much better than before.

After all, given Du Weiguo's current status, power, position, his irresistible good looks, and his superb acting skills, cheating on him is almost inevitable.

For example, just now, Sister Xiang, who sells human flesh pies, was completely captivated by him in just a few words, abandoning her evil ways and becoming willing to die for him.

It's unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable!
Even if it were Miss Hu, she couldn't keep him by her side all the time; she could only turn a blind eye.

Fortunately, this time, Du Weiguo did not foster a new force hostile to her, which was barely acceptable.

To be honest, despite her seemingly indifferent attitude towards the anti-Hu alliance formed by Mo Lan, Zhao Yingnan, and Guo Fu, Miss Hu was actually under considerable pressure.

"Oh, it's not that complicated. It's just a charade. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Du Weiguo, with his keen eye, noticed that Miss Hu's expression was softening, and quickly changed the subject.

"Come on, let's drink, Hu Da. It's been a long time since we drank together. Let's have a good time tonight and drink until we drop."

"Drink until you drop? How can you be so carefree? If we all get drunk, aren't you afraid we'll all get ganged up on?"

Miss Hu's resentment had not completely dissipated, and her words were still barbed, but at least she did not continue to dwell on the topic of Azhi.

"Do you know that the mastermind behind the plague of the living dead is probably still in Persia, or even in Kayseri?"

"Hehe~"

Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo grinned and pointed to a spot not far away.

"He ate it all in one spoonful? Who the hell has such good teeth?"

"Our Dragon Fang is no pushover either. With 200 elite troops, even if they can't stop the enemy, they won't be wiped out silently in an instant."

In the direction he pointed, below the riverbank, a dozen or so military vehicles painted in sand colors were parked quietly by the roadside. Inside these vehicles, a full-strength Dragon Tooth Company was on standby at any time.

Du Weiguo's words were not just made up. All the people present were top-notch experts, and almost each of them could kill 200 Dragon Fangs single-handedly.

Besides him and Miss Hu, Shota, Shinmai, Kagura, and Du Tie can all do it easily. In another setting, the Yuan siblings and Ellie can also do it.

However, no one can achieve a silent and instant kill, not even Miss Hu.

Longya's mental fortitude far surpasses that of ordinary people; even she couldn't hypnotize so many people at the same time.

Du Weiguo suddenly tilted his head back, downed the glass of wine in one gulp, slammed it heavily on the table, and his tone suddenly became bold and unrestrained.

"Besides, our kids aren't just good-for-nothings. Even if they're drunk, they won't let anyone take advantage of them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes narrowed, and a chilling aura suddenly rose from his body.

"Wow!"

The moment the murderous aura rose, Shenwu was the first to be thrown several meters away from the chair, with several life threads appearing around her, hidden and unleashed.

Ellie and Kagura then reacted almost simultaneously.

Ellie instinctively overturned the table to shield herself, a pistol already in her hand, while Kagura vanished into the shadows in a flash.

Then, Yuan Qianye, Xiangtai, Du Tie, Yuan Ying, and Chunsheng woke up one after another, and finally Pama did.

However, their reactions were slightly less effective. Although they were awake, their eyes were blank, and they did not react appropriately.

Especially Parma, who is not a combat-type ability user, was clearly still drunk and barely opened her eyes, unable to even stand up.

Not everyone woke up. For example, Guo Fu and Luo De, who was also a support character and not very sensitive to danger.

And then there's Naya, that elf-eyed little girl, who's also completely drunk.

She is a psychic with amazing talent, stronger than the Yuan siblings, and even a level above Sakurai Momoyo.

However, she has not yet mastered a shikigami, so she is essentially an ordinary person with slightly stronger five senses.

From everyone's reactions, it's easy to discern the differences in their danger perception abilities: Shenwu is the strongest, Kagura and Ellie are slightly weaker, and the others are even weaker.

This is not a ranking of combat strength, but rather related to each person's background.

Shenwu and Kagura are both shadow warriors of the Mitsui family, that is, assassins. They started killing people when they were teenagers, so their sense of danger is naturally first-rate.

Ellie was much the same; for the first half of her life, she struggled on the brink of life and death, either killing people or on her way to kill them.

Others are different; they mostly live in peaceful environments, so their sense of danger is naturally weaker.

"gentlemen!"

Shenwu reacted the fastest. In the blink of an eye, the drunkenness in her eyes had completely disappeared, and she looked at Du Weiguo with a slightly puzzled expression.

"What's going on?" Ellie also picked up her gun and slowly stood up from behind the table.

From behind Du Weiguo, Kagura silently revealed herself, while the others' drunkenness gradually dissipated, and they adopted a defensive stance.

Miss Hu raised an eyebrow smugly, and Du Weiguo casually said:
"It's okay, it's going to rain, everyone go home and get some sleep!"

"Rain?" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Isn't this blatant lying? The moon is bright and the stars are few, the night sky is clear and there isn't a single cloud in the sky. How could it be drizzling?
"What are you looking at? Do you all want to sleep on the streets? Go back to sleep, all of you!"

When Miss Hu let out a loud shout, almost everyone subconsciously shrank back. Her female power was far greater than that of Du Weiguo.

The group had just returned to Miss Hu's residence when Du Weiguo encountered an extremely unexpected visitor in the living room.

Natasha, head of the Special Operations Division of the KGB's 13th Division.

"Director Natasha, what brings you here?" Du Weiguo frowned slightly, clearly displeased by her unannounced arrival.

He's already in dire straits enough, why is this woman making things worse?

The masterminds behind the plague of the living dead, as well as Miss Hu and Guo Fu, need no further introduction.

Shenwu, Shenle, and Yuanying, these three Japanese girls, are all eyeing him covetously. Even Naya seizes every opportunity to send him flirtatious glances.

If it weren't for Miss Hu keeping them in check, they probably would have pounced on them and launched a night raid.

Natasha, this KGB spy, had quite a few affairs with Du Weiguo before. Although they were all just for show and she wasn't really invested, there was still a real connection between them.

Her arrival was like pouring a ladle of ice water into a boiling oil pan; the women's resentment was almost unbearable.

The coldness and aloofness in Du Weiguo's tone fueled Natasha's resentment. That bastard really does turn his back on you once he's done his work.

They used to call me "Little Sweetie," but now they call me Natasha, and even a department head.

However, Natasha knew the gravity of the situation and was aware of her place in Du Weiguo's heart, so she suppressed her surging emotions and got straight to the point:

"Something's happened in the Arctic Ocean!" (End of Chapter)
