Chapter 546

They were now at the lake, and the tents had been set up again . The Muxue Mercenary Unit’s members were all laughing cheerfully, drinking as much wine as they could in celebration .

This battle had truly been fought too beautifully by them . Not one of them had died . In fact, only a few of them had even been injured before they managed to cut down the Hidden Ground Spider .

The most exciting thing was that their leader had truly broken through to the Xiantian realm . That made their unit’s strength increase to unprecedented levels .

Perhaps that was what it meant for happy things to occur in pairs . They no longer had any reservations and went all-out drinking and eating . Even Mu Xue drank over ten cups of wine, her face becoming slightly rosy .

Long Chen was also celebrating with them . There were over twenty cups that challenged Long Chen in succession . Anytime someone touched their cup to his, he would down all his alcohol without the slightest hesitation .

Now, over two hundred cups had gone down his belly . Even with his tolerance, he was starting to feel a bit woozy, as he hadn’t used any spiritual qi to suppress it .

He actually very much enjoyed this kind of feeling . They were all hot-blooded men, saying anything they wanted to say, their emotions painted on their faces . They lived very sincerely .

From them, Long Chen learned they had come from powerful families or some other powers . After having been squeezed out by others, they had ended up leaving in fury to become wandering martial artists .

Their talent was actually very high, but they had given up any hope in the powers they came from . They would rather be wandering martial artists than stay .

They no longer treated strength as the most important thing . Their number one priority was their freedom, their emotions . It could be said that they were extremely unconventional cultivators .

Although they had to work for their cultivation resources by completing missions, making their lives dangerous, it was also extremely thrilling .

They all lived this kind of life . Perhaps in other people’s eyes, they were just a bunch of minor characters that would never have any success, but they still liked being themselves .

“Long Chen, you still haven’t explained why you pinched me today!” Their tongues had already grown loose now, and one of the mercenaries patted Long Chen on the shoulder while drinking .

That person was the one who Long Chen had pinched earlier today in order to make him wail . Afterward, they had been too busy and there had been no time to get his question answered . However, he hadn’t forgotten it .

Now that he said it, everyone turned to Long Chen, wanting to know what had happened .

Long Chen hiccuped, laughing and patting him on the shoulder . “Brother, are you dissatisfied? In truth, you should be very happy! Originally, I was planning on crus.h.i.+ng your b.a.l.l.s!”

That person s.h.i.+vered, and he half came out of his drunken state . “f.u.c.k, when did I p.i.s.s you off this much?”

“This is called sacrifice! If it weren’t for your shriek, do you think the leader would have become so furious and berserk, completely breaking through any restrictions?

“If it weren’t for you, how could she have caught the chance to advance? And without advancing, how would we have stopped the Hidden Ground Spider from escaping?

“Without killing the Hidden Ground Spider, what would we be celebrating here? In truth, you’re the one who contributed the most towards killing the Hidden Ground Spider . Here, let me raise a cup for you!”

Long Chen’s words made him very muddleheaded . He made it sound like their victory had relied entirely on him . Now seeing Long Chen drink, he also drank down his cup .

He might be too drunk to understand, but the others also heard it, and now they finally understood that everything had been within his control .

Mu Xue was the most surprised . It really was as Long Chen said . If she hadn’t advanced to the Xiantian realm, not only would many people have died, but they also wouldn’t have succeeded in the end .

This meant Long Chen had already thought of this plan before they even began attacking the Hidden Ground Spider .

Mu Xue couldn’t help feeling blessed . Long Chen was like her lucky star . If it hadn’t been for him, she really didn’t know what she would be doing right now .

“Long Chen, let me offer you a cup!” Mu Xue raised her gla.s.s to him .

“Haha, for the beautiful leader to offer me a cup of wine, I really am honored!” Long Chen hastily raised his cup .

“Thank you . ” Mu Xue looked sincerely at Long Chen .

“Haha, you’re being too courteous . If you hadn’t helped me out, I would still be lost . ” Long Chen touched his cup to Mu Xue’s cup and then downed the alcohol . “Come, you two beauties, let me also offer you a cup!” Long Chen raised his cup towards the other two women .

“Ah, I don’t really have much capacity for alcohol . If I end up drunk, you’ll have to protect me . ” That woman, who had once helped clean him up, spoke bashfully, but the pa.s.sion in her eyes was extremely brazen .

Long Chen laughed . “Don’t worry, with this many brothers protecting you, even if the heavens were to collapse, there would be someone to prop them up . ”

An undetectable trace of disappointment flashed within Mu Xue’s eyes . Long Chen was intentionally keeping his distance from the woman, acting as if he didn’t understand her flirtation .

Mu Xue quietly retreated to her own spot . She watched as Long Chen drank with the others, playing a finger-guessing game and even occasionally spouting profanities .

She quietly stared at this man . She felt this man to be very different from others, and yet his appearance wasn’t so out of the ordinary . It was food for thought .

This night, everyone drank a great deal, and even Long Chen was snoring afterward . It had been a long time since he had had such a good time drinking .

When morning came, everyone got up refreshed . After all, they were cultivators, and this amount of wine was unable to affect their powerful const.i.tutions .
