Chapter 370

"Yes, we will do as Mister Shi Lei says. The seal on the Sui Beast has already begun to loosen and it is expected to break free within fifty years, so we need to prepare early."

*(A certain plant)!

There are still fifty years until the seal is broken, what a load of rubbish you're talking about.

That makes sense, though.

Compared to the lifespan of Great Beast, which can easily reach thousands of years, fifty years is indeed a relatively short period of time.

Given Shi Lei's current physical condition, he could probably live for a thousand years. However, the time he spent before and after his transmigration was only a little over twenty years. Therefore, his perception of the passage of time is far from profound.

Fifty years seemed like a long time to him.

Normally, work should resume in early March after the Lunar New Year. The reason Shi Lei extended his preparation time to April is because he is currently only a little bit short of the Roleplay Value to advance to the Seven Archons Realm.

With this trump card, plus the assistance of the Yan's soldiers and celestial masters, we'll be much more confident in dealing with a weakened Great Beast that has just broken its seal.

Only by engaging the Great Beast head-on can one determine the approximate level of the twelve Sea God Ishmarra of the Sea God Temple.

This kind of thing is too weak to be described in words; one can only gain a clear understanding of it through actual combat.

"We really should start preparing early. Let's set it for April or later. Do you have anything else to do?"

"No, that's all. It was a very pleasant discussion with Mister Shi Lei. On behalf of my brothers and sisters, I thank you for your generous assistance. I will personally go there later to discuss this matter with the Grand Tutor of the court. As long as we can get their approval, this matter will be settled."

Having said that, he looked at his younger sister and instructed her:

"Xiao Nian, you stay here. After April, take Mister Shi Lei to Jade Gate to see your elder brother. He is currently working there and has four years left until his retirement. I'll leave the matter of the trial to your elder brother."

Although Nian is Operator of Rhodes Island, she can stay away from her This Ship for extended periods due to important matters:

"I understand, Ling Jie."

Since it's the eldest among the Sui Beast Fragment, its strength must be considerable. Shi Lei understood that they wanted to send their strongest fragment to test its strength against him. Understanding each other's levels before the official sealing would help increase the success rate.

Shi Lei took out his phone and displayed the number:

"Write down my contact information. You can use this number to contact me later."

Ling stared at the phone screen, a look of confusion in her eyes, and then turned to her younger sister for help:

"Little New Year, what is this?"

Knowing she had slept for a long time, he explained:

"This is a communication tool that has gradually emerged in the last few hundred years, enabling short-distance communication. The longest distance can be hundreds of kilometers, allowing you to talk without meeting in person."

In case her sister forgot, Nian used her skills to create a palm-sized piece of iron on the spot.

Shi Lei's mobile phone number was engraved on it so that the Emperor or Grand Tutor could contact him in the future.

He accepted the iron sheet and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mister Shi Lei, I have come here today specifically for this matter. I will travel day and night to find the Grand Tutor as soon as possible to finalize the sealing of the Sui Beast."

Once he was sure the three sisters were alright, Shi Lei lowered the Rock House. Upon landing, the surrounding Rock Constructs vanished instantly, as if they had never been there.

"You left so soon?"

Seeing the beautiful woman named Ling preparing to leave, Texas was somewhat surprised and called out to her:

Why don't you sit a little longer?

With a smile, he felt that this Female Lupo was incredibly warm and hospitable, and clasped his hands in thanks:

"The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on. I have important matters to attend to now, and I need to complete them as soon as possible."

Seeing that she was really about to leave, Sarkaz V interjected:

"Miss Ling, your wine gourd has really whetted my appetite. Could you leave some for us to taste and have a look?"

"Haha, no problem."

After ordering the gourd to be removed and the cork opened, the question was asked:

Where do I go?

V quickly ran back to Warehouse One and soon came out with a brand new glass.

Seeing this, Ling shook his head and pointed at the Dragon King:

"Mister Shi Lei should have a good capacity for alcohol; one cup certainly won't be enough for him. Why don't you bring over a larger container? I have plenty of fine wine here."

Shi Lei had never bought a cup before, but with a simple gesture, he created a container that looked remarkably like a wine jar on the spot.

"Is it okay if I make it this big?"

"No problem, leave it to me."

Ling held the gourd up to the mouth of the jar, and the tempting wine poured out like jade liquid stimulated by a sudden burst of energy. Despite the gourd's small size, it poured out several times its volume of wine, quickly filling the jar.

In an instant, the rich aroma of the wine filled the air. Even the person pouring the wine couldn't help but lick their lips.

"If I didn't have important business to attend to, I would really love to have a good drink with you tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei spread his hands, gesturing for him to proceed.

"The matter you need to handle can't be completed in a day or two. Whether it's a moment earlier or a moment later doesn't make much difference. Since Miss Ling is in such a good mood, why not take this opportunity to have a drink with you?"

"Sir, you are a man of few words and a true hero!"

With a flick of his wrist, Shi Lei created a small obsidian wine glass. This metallic glass would look more aesthetically pleasing than the glass made of Rock Constructs.

"Sir, may I have a taste?"

V stared longingly at the wine jar, licking his lips; the word "want to drink" was practically etched onto his forehead.

"Yeah, drink if you want."

With Shi Lei's permission, he scooped up a very small amount from the brand-new cup and dripped a drop into his mouth.

With just one drop, V became unsteady on his feet. If Sarkaz hadn't been there to support him, he probably would have collapsed.

"What wonderful wine! I've never tasted such delicious wine in my life, and the aftertaste is still lingering in my mouth!"

Shi Lei knew the liquor was strong, but now he possessed the body of a demon god, granting him superhuman physical abilities. While an ordinary person would be knocked out by a single drop, he should have no problem drinking a whole cup.

"Miss Ling, I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"

As the wine went down my throat, a strong, stimulating sensation shot from my abdomen straight to the top of my head. This exhilarating feeling was like eating a mouthful of chili peppers and then drinking hot water.

Ling laughed heartily, picked up the gourd, and gulped down a large mouthful. Seeing that Shi Lei was unharmed after drinking, she gave him a thumbs-up and sincerely praised him:

"Great drinking capacity! One more time!"

[Urge Update Sign-in]

"Impressive drinking capacity!"

Ling's praise was absolutely genuine. An ordinary person would collapse after just one or two drops, and three drops would be their limit.

Only Great Beast like them can withstand the surging aftereffects of this fine wine.

Due to the surveillance of Si Sui Tai and others, the Sui Beast Fragment rarely gather. Without their brethren to drink with, they mostly drink alone until they are drunk.

Only when she saw the Dragon King drink a cup without getting drunk would she sincerely exclaim in admiration and give him a thumbs up.

After finishing his drink, Shi Lei closed his eyes and carefully felt the aftereffects of the fine wine coursing through his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt that he could still drink in his current state, so he scooped another cup from the vat.

Raising his glass in response, he declared with boundless pride:

"Again."

Shi Lei downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, letting out a satisfied "ha!" Seeing this, Ling, not to be outdone, picked up the gourd and put it in his mouth.

"Cheers, hahaha, that's great!"

The other onlookers at the scene did not dare to participate in the drinking contest between the two.

This liquor has a very strong aftereffect; Exusiai passed out after just one drop, and V was almost drunk after just one drop. Their alcohol tolerance was simply no match for the liquor, so they cheered them on from the sidelines.

"Ha~ Again!"

Shi Lei and Ling drank one cup after another, drinking eighteen cups in a row, and gradually began to feel drunk.

Moreover, this intoxication was like waves surging onto the shore, one wave after another, one layer after another.

"Go! Go!"

Shi Lei felt conscious, but his body was not quite under his control, so he found a chair and sat down.

Seeing that Ling was still standing, he praised him:

"You can really hold your liquor."

"Haha, I drink this all the time. Once I start, I don't know when to stop, and I just pass out and sleep when I'm drunk. This is your first time drinking it, and eighteen cups is already pretty impressive. Don't forget you have important business to attend to later, so don't overindulge. How about we stop here for today and call it a draw? I'll come back and challenge you to another drinking contest another time."

If Ling gets drunk, he often sleeps for decades or even centuries. Considering that there were many ordinary people present who were not Long-lived Race, the specific year was not mentioned.

Moreover, resealing the Sui Beast is an urgent matter. Now that we've finally found the Dragon King to help, how can we let him remain in a coma for decades?

"Alright, alright, let's stop drinking here for today."

Shi Lei was feeling a bit dizzy and thought he would pass out if he drank another glass, so he went along with it and announced the end of the session.

Ling pressed his temples, forcing himself to regain his senses, and stood up, clasping his hands in a fist salute to the crowd, saying:

"I have important matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you all tonight. Until we meet again."

Mudrock glanced at its master, saw that he was still sitting in the chair, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Miss Ling, it's so late. We have guest rooms here, why don't you stay and leave tomorrow?"

She guessed that Nian Lingxi was no ordinary person and wanted to treat the three sisters well on behalf of her master.

Ling smiled and waved his hand, politely declining:

"I appreciate your kindness. I'm not drunk yet, so don't worry."

"Then I'll see you off."

"Haha, that's too kind of you."

Being overly polite doesn't mean refusing. Mudrock extended the invitation with utmost courtesy and escorted the guest away.

Before parting, he instructed his younger sister:

"Xiao Nian, don't forget what I entrusted to you."

Sealing the Sui Beast is a matter of life and death for the eleven brothers and sisters, and must be taken seriously.

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

Together, Nian and Xi saw their sister off as she left Taiheng Road.

Once the order was out of sight, Shi Lei's eyes became somewhat unfocused. He looked up at the ceiling, feeling his eyelids were incredibly heavy, and he longed to lie down and sleep.

This was the first time since he advanced to the Archon Realm that he really wanted to get a good night's sleep.

"Uh..."

Shi Lei stood up, holding onto the stool, but his steps were unsteady and he almost stumbled. Fortunately, Texas reacted quickly and stepped forward to support him with half of her body.

Be careful. Don't fall.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Shi Lei's weight pressing down on her.

Texas tilted her head to observe and found that he seemed to be drunk and asleep. Feeling the intimate physical contact with him, her heart pounded.

"Let me help you back to your room to rest."

A Sarkaz mercenary, seeing this, wanted to help her up, but Texas politely declined.

"No need, I can support him. I'll make him a hangover soup later to help him sober up. If you don't have anything else to do, you can go back now. Lisa, close the door."

After she finished speaking, she used her body to support Shi Lei and walked step by step towards the bedroom.

Mudrock escorted Ling to the crossroads of Taiheng Road, and after explaining the route out of the city in detail, waved goodbye.
