Three wine glasses had been placed on the round table at some point.
Noah, Jiao Liu, and Karyobinga sat in a triangular formation, chatting idly about inconsequential matters.
Karyobinga seemed to genuinely intend to serve Noah, pouring wine into his glass.
Noah picked up the glass and took a sip, his brows immediately lifting slightly.
"What is it?" Jiao Liu clearly noticed Noah's reaction and could not help asking. "Does the wine not suit your taste?"
"Not at all." Noah shook his head. "It's good wine, but I thought you had brought something stronger and spicier. I didn't expect it to be sweet wine."
"We're not planning to drink ourselves senseless. Sweet wine is enough." Karyobinga continued filling Noah's glass. "If you want to get drunk, wait until after we defeat Azi Dahaka and hold a victory banquet. Then you can drink to your heart's content."
"Oh?" Noah looked at Jiao Liu and Karyobinga. "So, you intend to fight alongside us?"
"After you put it that way, if I still failed to pull myself together, I would truly be letting down the banner of the Overturning Sea Great Sage." Jiao Liu revealed a somewhat bitter smile and began drinking as well. "Besides, you're right. Mihou would never stand by and ignore a Demon King threatening Little Garden.
