I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 125, page 1.7, section 42: Lias's Voyage: Hunting Time

Fire God Festival.

The main features are torches, parades, masks, and alcohol, with stalls selling masks, homemade alcohol, and various snacks everywhere.

Of course, the celebration lasted for three days and three nights, but they arrived on the last night, when all the performances had already ended. All they had to do that night was eat, drink, and get completely drunk.

Mu Yegui opened the balcony door of the suite, turning the room into the best spot for the best view and the best seat.

Waiters on stilts, wearing masks, carried trays of wine to ensure that guests staying on the second floor could enjoy the best wines.

Joyful music drifted from downstairs; people were singing, celebrating, and dancing.

Mu Yegui sat on the balcony railing, letting the breeze blow through her long, gray, curly hair, her bare feet dangling in the air, and picked up a beer from the tray of a stilt waiter who had just passed by.

"Come on, let's play another round!" Shui Qi walked in with a deck of cards and said to Dao Lin, who was sitting in front of the low balcony railing.

Dao Lin raised an eyebrow, and Bing Lanse glanced at him thoughtfully, saying, "You haven't fulfilled your previous bet yet."

Shui Qi paused for a moment, then asked, "Can't we settle the accounts together?"

“You know the two bets are different, who knows if you’ll cheat?” Daolin took the plate of sausages that Fernana handed him, picked up a piece with his fork and put it in his mouth.

"Dad!" Shui Qi pouted, but finally called out.

"My good son, what shall we play?" Dao Lin replied matter-of-factly. Finally hearing Shui Qi call him "Dad," Dao Lin felt his life was complete.

"Draw a joker card. The loser must answer the winner's questions truthfully. If they can't answer or don't want to answer, they have to drink a glass of wine." Shui Qi finally decided to use this method to get himself drunk. Although he was very dissatisfied with his constant losses to Dao Lin at cards, he also somewhat admitted that Dao Lin was very lucky.

"Ferna, Lias, Ye Gui, do you want to play? There aren't enough for just two people," Daolin asked, looking up at Mu Ye Gui who was sitting on the railing next to him.

“Let’s play.” Fernana pulled Lias to sit down next to her.

Mu Yegui turned around and remained sitting on the low railing, but with his back to the street.

Five people sat on the balcony, ignoring the noise of the street, and started playing cards. Shui Qi was in charge of shuffling and dealing the cards.

"No matter who loses, there should be no complaints," Shui Qi said calmly, glancing at everyone.

Fifteen minutes later.

Mu Yegui, Fernana, Lias, and Daolinsheng.

Shui Qi: "..." Why did he still draw the Joker from Dao Lin's hand when there were only two cards left? He specifically chose a game where there would only be one loser, how could he still lose?!
"Do you want to answer questions or drink?" Dao Lin asked, his icy blue eyes filled with a hint of amusement.

"Of course, it's drinking." Shui Qi picked up a glass of wine from the table and poured it into his mouth. His original purpose was to get himself drunk. Answering the question was out of the question; he never intended to answer the truth.

“If each person asks one question, you’ll have to drink four glasses of wine,” Dao Lin reminded him, taking a bite of a sausage slice.

Shui Qi chuckled lightly, "How could that be? I only plan to drink three cups and then answer one question."

"Whose question do you want to answer?" Fernna raised an eyebrow. Shui Qi was indeed cunning; even at a time like this, she hadn't forgotten to be vigilant.

Mu Yegui sipped his beer from time to time, gazing at the bustling street scene. He casually grabbed a glass of strong liquor from a passing waiter's tray and placed it in front of Shui Qi. Her cool, silver eyes fixed on him, she said, "Drink this."

Shui Qi's eyes twitched slightly. "Are you trying to get me drunk?" Dao Lin took the wine from Mu Yegui's hand, raised it towards him, and asked in return, "Isn't that what you want—to get drunk?"

"But I don't want to get drunk after just one drink," Shui Qi said hesitantly, glancing at it in a desperate attempt to explain. Who knew if it would talk nonsense when it got drunk? It wanted to get everyone else drunk before getting itself drunk.

A knowing glint flashed in his icy blue eyes. He knew Shui Qi had this idea, but unfortunately, it was destined to be impossible.

Dao Lin stood up and sat down next to Shui Qi, putting his arm around his shoulder and handing him a wine glass, saying, "Drink up, brother. You can't escape it. If you don't drink, I'll... tell you the secret." He spoke the secret very softly, and probably only Mu Yegui heard it, besides the two of them.

Fernana was completely bewildered. When did these two become so close? Was it just because they played cards together on the ship, and Fern called him "brother" and "dad"?
"I think I can still be saved. I want to drink some beer..." Shui Qi's face was slightly red because he had already drunk two glasses of beer. However, before he could finish speaking, Dao Lin poured a mouthful of strong liquor into his mouth.

Mu Yegui moved a few steps to the side while sitting on the low railing, but finally chose to sit back on the balcony.

What happens when someone who has almost never drunk alcohol drinks strong liquor?

Alcohol really takes effect quickly. Shui Qi suddenly burst into tears as if she had become a different person. Then, with the last bit of rationality she had left, she gave Dao Lin a sip of alcohol, the so-called sharing of happiness and hardship.

Fernana covered her face. "These two are so embarrassing. Their alcohol tolerance is so low. They got drunk so quickly?"

Dao Lin was caught off guard and had a mouthful of it poured into his mouth. He then fell into a daze and fell asleep, and no matter how much others called him, they couldn't wake him up. Shui Qi, on the other hand, became very noisy, calling out "Brother" and talking happily to the already sleeping Dao Lin, even though the latter didn't respond at all.

"What kind of wine is that?" Fernana asked.

"I heard it's a special offering from the Vulcan Festival—96% rectified vodka, plus 65% beer and 90% rum," Mu Yegui said, taking a small sip.

"Won't it cause problems if you drink like this?" Fernana frowned, looking worried.

"Do you think they'll be in any trouble? The cells of interstellar people have undergone hundreds or thousands of mutations. This kind of alcohol will at most make them drunk quickly, but it won't cause any life-threatening danger. Isn't that written in the enlightenment book?" Mu Yegui asked.

“I have never read any primers,” Fernana sighed softly, a hint of sadness in her amethyst eyes.

Mu Yegui casually grabbed a glass of wine and handed it to Fernna. After taking it, she subconsciously took a sip, and then her face suddenly turned red.

"Do you think I'm a menace? Why do all the people who like me end up in danger?" Fernana's eyes reddened as she hugged Mu Yegui's neck from behind, rubbing her cheek against him gently, and said aggrievedly.

"No." Mu Yegui glanced calmly at Lias, who quickly ran back to bed and covered himself with the blanket.

"I love him so much, but he's dead. He promised to marry me, waaaaaah~" Fernna cried, hugging Mu Yegui tightly and refusing to let go, clearly regarding Mu Yegui as the person she loved.

"Hmm," Mu Yegui replied without changing his expression.

Ferna turned and sat down next to her, reaching out to hug Mu Yegui's arm, resting her head on her shoulder, and crying while saying in a coquettish tone, "Do you like me?"

"Yes, I like it." Mu Yegui glanced at Fernana, reached out and tidied her messy hair, and answered expressionlessly.

Mu Yin: "???" Wait! What just happened??

The above is a summary of the dark history of Daolin, Fernana, Shui Qi, and others. Please remember this moment.

Have you noticed that the reason this group of people got drunk is because they drank the wine that Mu Yegui handed them?

There's a question about this water bottle~
