Drunk [Four Updates Today, Please Vote~~Fourth Update]

That evening, there was a hall spanning thousands of square meters, much like a school canteen.

Xu Fan watched as Ye Xiaoyao had already brought four rounds of Spirit Dishes to the table. He wondered whether he should run now—being on the same vessel as the Protagonist made it far too easy for trouble to happen.

Just then, Ye Xiaoyao came over carrying another two Spirit Dishes.

"Junior Brother Xu, the Spirit Dishes aboard the Floating Sky Vessel are one of our Heavenly Gate Sect's finest specialties. Even the Sect Leader has praised them highly."

There were already three cold dishes, three hot dishes, and one soup on the table—a total of seven dishes.

"Brother Xu, look. These cold dishes are all prepared from Spiritual Herbs over a Hundred Years old, while this meat comes from Demon Beasts above the Golden Core Stage. And they're all the most exquisite cuts." Ye Xiaoyao enthusiastically introduced the dishes to Xu Fan, while another voice rang out in his heart.

"Youngster, find a way to become sworn brothers with him. You definitely won't lose out."

"Trust This Immortal's eye. I'm right."

Ye Xiaoyao, who had already intended to befriend Xu Fan, became even more enthusiastic.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyao's warm expression, Xu Fan truly could not bring himself to put on a sour face. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ye, this table of Spirit Dishes must have cost you quite a bit."

"Haha, not a single Spirit Stone. This is one of the benefits for Floating Sky Vessel personnel," Ye Xiaoyao said with a laugh.

The moment he heard they were free, Xu Fan's thoughts sprang to life. Has the time finally come for my Full Stomach Art to make its debut?

Ye Xiaoyao took out another bottle of wine and quietly said to Xu Fan, "This is Spirit Wine brewed by our Patrol Team. It's soaked with Ginseng Spirit Wine that's over ten thousand years old."

Seeing good wine and good meat, Xu Fan set aside his prejudice against the Protagonist and began drinking with Ye Xiaoyao.

After half a bottle had gone down, Xu Fan began talking more.

"Senior Brother Ye, when did your strange affliction get better?" Xu Fan asked, looking at the ring on Ye Xiaoyao's hand.

"Haha, thanks to Junior Brother Xu. After I came out of the Mystic Realm last time, all my symptoms disappeared." Ye Xiaoyao was slightly drunk.

"Junior Brother Xu, do you know? The moment I came out of the Mystic Realm, I immediately advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the first thing I did was go to the Clan that broke off my engagement and thoroughly humiliate all the younger generation disciples."

At this point, Ye Xiaoyao raised his cup and clinked it against Xu Fan's before draining it in one gulp.

Looking at the slightly drunken Ye Xiaoyao, Xu Fan was stunned. A Protagonist from the broken-engagement trope!

He regarded Ye Xiaoyao even more highly.

He had thought what came next would be a string of showing off and slapping faces, but Ye Xiaoyao abruptly changed tune and said bitterly, "I thought I would be able to wash away the humiliation of having my engagement broken off, but I never expected this."

"The girl who broke off my engagement had already been accepted as a disciple by a Hidden Venerable. We were both at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet that girl beat me senseless with one hand."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes when he heard that. Even Xiao Dou Emperor knew to wait three years after obtaining an old grandpa before going to provoke anyone. You had barely gained a little strength before going off to show off. It was no surprise you got beaten.

"But that only gave me even more Fighting Spirit. So what if she has a Mahayana Stage master? Give me three years, and I will return every humiliation I suffered twofold," Ye Xiaoyao said firmly.

Xu Fan raised his cup.

"May Senior Brother Ye have all his wishes fulfilled."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Xu. From now on, you can just call me Big Brother Ye. 'Senior Brother Ye' sounds far too distant." Ye Xiaoyao waved his hand.

"Big Brother Ye."

"Good. Let me toast my brother another cup."

And just like that, Xu Fan gained a cheap big brother.

When one jar of Ginseng Spirit Wine was finished and Ye Xiaoyao took out another, Xu Fan knew his Full Stomach Art would not be needed today.

The two drank until deep into the night. Only after Xu Fan blacked out did Ye Xiaoyao carry him back to his room.

When Xu Fan opened his eyes again, the Floating Sky Vessel was already tens of thousands of feet in the air.

"Damn it, drinking really gets in the way." Xu Fan rubbed his dizzy head.

After Xu Fan stepped onto the deck, the sight before him left him shocked.

A gigantic snake several times larger than the Floating Sky Vessel drifted around it, its enormous body occasionally brushing against the vessel.

At that moment, Ye Xiaoyao walked over wearing standard Patrol Team armor.

"Little Fan, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Ye Xiaoyao asked warmly. Only after sobering up the day before yesterday had he felt a little regretful. Ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators could not drink this kind of Spirit Wine; a moment of carelessness could cause their spiritual energy to explode. He simply had not thought of that at the time.

"I'm fine. My head's just a little foggy." As Xu Fan spoke, he examined his body internally, then was startled.

I fucking advanced to the Qi Refining Twelfth Level.

"That's good. Here, take this." A bottle of Spiritual Pills appeared in Ye Xiaoyao's hand, and he stuffed it into Xu Fan's hand before his brain had fully started working.

"I saw that you advanced to the Qi Refining Twelfth Level, and I happened to have a few Foundation Establishment Pills I don't need. They're yours," Ye Xiaoyao said generously. He had obtained them by chance, so he did not feel bad about giving them away.

Xu Fan opened the pill bottle and saw four Mid-Grade Foundation Establishment Pills inside, each worth twenty thousand Spirit Stones at market price.

He immediately returned the Foundation Establishment Pills to Ye Xiaoyao. Was this a joke? Giving Foundation Establishment Pills to a Pill Refining Master—who was he looking down on?

"I appreciate Big Brother Ye's kindness, but I can refine Foundation Establishment Pills now, so there's no need to trouble Brother Xu," Xu Fan said at once.

"Haha, I didn't expect my brother to be a Pill Refining Master as well. How embarrassing." Ye Xiaoyao laughed as he put the Foundation Establishment Pills back into his Storage Ring. Giving Spiritual Pills to a Pill Refiner was no different from slapping their face.

"Little Fan, I'm officially your guide on the Floating Sky Vessel now. If you need anything aboard the vessel, just let me know."

"There are still three days of travel before we reach the Endless Sea. Then the entire Floating Sky Vessel will enter a state of battle readiness."

"So over these next few days, hurry and visit wherever you want to observe aboard the Floating Sky Vessel."

"Other than the Captain's room, the core engine room, and private rooms, you can visit anywhere else."

"If you have nothing to do, you can also go to the ship's Pill Refining Department to take on missions. The rewards are generous."

Looking at the Protagonist's careful instructions, Xu Fan thought to himself, being friends with the Protagonist was actually quite nice, aside from the slightly greater risk.

At that moment, Ye Xiaoyao patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said, "I've said everything I needed to say. I still have Patrol Team duties, so I won't accompany you around the rest of the places."

Xu Fan had just wanted to ask about the giant snake beside the Floating Sky Vessel when Ye Xiaoyao answered first, "That Cloud Swallowing Snake is the Artifact Spirit of the Floating Sky Vessel."

With that, Ye Xiaoyao headed into the distance.

After Ye Xiaoyao left, Xu Fan took out a glasses-shaped Magic Artifact and put it on, beginning to carefully observe the Rune structure in the Outer Area of the Floating Sky Vessel.

By rank, the Floating Sky Vessel could be considered a Mid-Grade Dao Artifact. The entire hull was covered in Rune Arrays, and Xu Fan was currently only observing the simplest Rune Arrays.

"Amazing. When I repaired the Runes before, I didn't look closely. So the most crucial part of the hull's Outer Area lies in the Runes on the inner walls." Xu Fan marveled, as though he were seeing the most precise instrument from his previous life.

"I never expected a Qi Refining Stage junior like you to possess such insight. How about it? Are you willing to join my disciples?"

A pair of dark, thick, powerful hands landed on Xu Fan's shoulders.

Sorry, the last chapter was a little late.

Pork is asking for some votes here. There will be another three chapters tomorrow.
