Open the Door!

"Hmm? Isn't this Ningguang? Is something the matter?"

"... Senior Kitsune Saiguu?"

Ningguang saw the fox approaching and sensed something was wrong.

"No, it's nothing."

"... You just mentioned Lord Liu Bai, didn't you?"

Kitsune Saiguu called out softly to Ningguang, who was about to turn and leave.

"I've finished asking."

Ningguang is preparing to run away—even she has people she's not good at dealing with.

For example, the Kitsune Saiguu right in front of us.

Not only is he a cunning old fox, but he's also shameless. People like him are a real nuisance.

"Is that so? Well then, goodbye."

To Ningguang's surprise, Kitsune Saiguu simply nodded and did not delve into the matter further.

A very disturbing reaction.

However, Ningguang did not hesitate. "You tell me to leave, so I'll leave now."

As soon as they got to the elevator, Ningguang pushed Beidou, which she had just come up with, back down.

"It's over so quickly?" Beidou staggered slightly but regained his balance.

"Let's go to the Yanshang Teahouse so soon."

The two returned to the first floor, where Keqing was still looking at the list of people to be admitted.

"... Isn't this a bit worrying?"

Keqing looked at these names, some familiar, some unfamiliar, a whole bunch of them.

While the Keqing group can distinguish five groups of people who are there for official business—for example, those abandoned the Doctor who Anti-Entropy moved in—aren't the rest... a bit too many?

"... No, no matter how you look at it, there's no way anyone could have relationships with so many women, right?"

Keqing muttered to herself.

The receptionist nodded, seemingly agreeing with Keqing's words.

The elevator descended to the first floor, Ningguang and Beidou stepped out.

"Do you know where they are?"

"Understood, follow me to the Yanshang Teahouse."

Chapter 250 Open the door!

"Gurgle—!"

"Oh my god! The Doctor, you can really drink!"

"Shut up!"

With one foot on the table, Ruan Mei downed the bottle of strong liquor in one gulp in a very bold manner.

They didn't care at all whether they were exposing themselves or not, and slammed the bottle on the table—if the concept of "exposing oneself" even existed in this situation.

"Single! The next one will definitely be a single!"

Ruan Mei's face was flushed with a blush that was different from usual, and her tone was no longer as calm as before.

However, it's not just Ruan Mei who's in a sorry state now.

Yelan is currently making a fuss, is most likely drunk and acting crazy.

Ying had already rolled under the table and was the first to be eliminated—this girl really didn't hold back when it came to drinking.

Zhen is probably still somewhat conscious, and is currently snuggling in Liu Bai, acting coquettishly.

Kafka sat properly in the chair, but she spoke much less often, and her tone gradually became somewhat indistinct.

Liu Bai is someone who has hardly ever drunk alcohol, so the fact that he isn't dizzy is purely due to his excellent resistance to abnormalities, plus his body being dehydrated— Liu Bai doesn't have Honkai energy elements in his body.

For others, the Honkai Inhibitor Pills is the biggest "source of intoxication".

For these people, taking this stuff is like an ordinary person taking sleeping pills.

When the body's energy supply is insufficient, one will feel listless and drowsy.

Moreover, Marika is... cough cough, Honkai energy is a special kind of Imaginary energy, so it is somewhat useful to Kafka and Ruan Mei, but Liu Bai doesn't care about this stuff.

Add to that drinking large amounts of this high-proof liquor...

—This kind of wine cabinet for collecting wines basically doesn't hold beer, let alone Yelan, who is a native of Shenzhou.

It's either strong liquor or liquor with a strong aftereffect.

So Ruan Mei is not shameful now.

... Of course, Ruan Mei also cheated.

It's hard to say about Liu Bai, but Ruan Mei definitely used her energy to counteract the effects of alcohol.

However... although Ruan Mei cheated, she wasn't really that strong.

Kafka is really strong, and she didn't cheat in this aspect.

But at this point, no one bothers to catch cheaters, and besides, is cheating even useful?

Isn't Ruan Mei still drunk and confused?

Could a normal Ruan Mei pull off such a pose, with one leg raised high and one foot on the table, like a gangster boss?

... Well, Liu Bai, who was sitting next to him, gave it a thumbs up.

Oh, and by the way, here's a piece of knowledge that most people don't pay much attention to—a person's hair color is generally the same from top to bottom.

However, on the other hand, this pose is best paired with a high-slit cheongsam and black stockings.

Well, there's not much point in talking about this now that the five of us can't even afford a pair of underwear.

"Hey! Who's going to roll the dice next?" Yelan yawned, but her tone still sounded quite energetic.

"...It's my turn." Kafka reached out and took the dice, her voice betraying her weariness.

Then, Kafka shook herself casually.

Guess.

"Single!" Ruan Mei is now exuding an aura of dominance.

"Then I'll go with both." Yelan now understood that she was targeting Ruan Mei. "Liu Bai, what about you?"

"Really, can you give me a blessing?" Bai Siyi caressed the delicate Raiden in his arms—actually, he was a little too drunk to control himself.

Alcohol and sex are both things that can cloud one's judgment.

"... Hmm?" Zhen, whose eyes were almost closed, slightly raised an eyebrow. "Um... May you... have good fortune in your martial arts... ooh~"

—It might have hurt from Liu Bai's rubbing.

[Blessed: A slight increase in luck]

"I'll just keep going with the singles."

After receiving the blessing, Liu Bai also spoke.

Now, rounding it up, it's practically a done deal.

Now there are only four... no, three people left.

Myself, Ruan Mei, the real... the real Kafka... and Yelan.

Um... isn't this another four people?

Oh right... there were three people participating in the betting game.

— Liu Bai's thinking speed is also slowing down significantly.

... I even feel like I'm seeing double when I look at people.

Oh no.

Regardless of how many people there are, I will now be their primary target.

Even if they win, this group of people can't guarantee who they'll target, or whether they'll just fall asleep immediately.

Therefore, I might now be a "public enemy"—provided, of course, that these people are still capable of thinking.

After losing all his clothes, Liu Bai had no more chances to cheat.

"One, two." Kafka didn't seem very interested.

"Haha—! I won again! Give me all the drinks."

Yelan crossed her legs, looking like she was the God of Gamblers.

Having no other choice, Liu Bai and Ruan Mei each jumped out of the wine cabinet and bought a bottle.

... Which prescription was lower?

When Liu Bai was selecting wines a few times before, he specifically looked at which wines had a lower alcohol content and were produced in smaller quantities.

But now... I can't remember.

Liu Bai looked at Ruan Mei — Ruan Mei should also remember this.

"... I won't give it to you."

Ruan Mei, clutching the wine bottle in her arms, looked at Liu Bai with great vigilance.

"..."

Although Liu Bai didn't know what Ruan Mei had picked, he could roughly tell that the writing on the packaging was a bit scribbled.

There are only a few kinds of foreign spirits... Never mind, although Ruan Mei is energetic, her mind is obviously not as clear as mine.

Liu Bai simply picked a bottle of wine with Chinese characters on the packaging.

... So spicy.

Liu Bai and Ruan Mei went back and got a bottle of Honkai Inhibitor Pills. The two of them chugdredged up the whole bottle of wine before finishing it.

"... Where are my two big walnuts?"

Liu Bai, sitting back down, was momentarily at a loss for what to do with his right hand.

"Where did my big walnut go?"

Liu Bai felt that he should take stock of something on his right hand.

"Why does my foot feel so soft again..."

Ugh, Lei Qiadian, who was already asleep, has rolled under the table after losing his "shrimp frame" Liu Bai Zhiqi.

"Is this the kind of walnut that feels like this?"

Kafka walked up to Liu Bai at some point, then sat in his lap and placed Liu Bai hand on her chest.

"Something doesn't feel right..."

Liu Bai muttered softly, "But... it's about the same..."

Something seems a little different, but it shouldn't be a big deal...

Thump.

At this moment, Ruan Mei, who was standing next to Liu Bai, also leaned towards him.

"Oh dear~ the Doctor, you can't do it either?"

"I... I didn't..."

Ruan Mei was completely dazed. "Water... is there any water?"

Ruan Mei started groping Liu Bai's body.

"I really can't do anything with you."
