Chapter 1786: Chapter 1782: Celebration Banquet (Second Update)
“You could say that!”
“Oh, that’s how it is, I understand! I will quickly find someone who can make me yearn because I also want to forge a strong Sword Intent!”
Jian Qi said confidently and earnestly to Xue An.
“Thank you for your guidance!”
“You’re welcome!” Xue An, who greatly admired this seemingly crazy but truly clear-hearted girl, said with a smile.
“And there’s one last question…”
“Speak!”
“Where do I find someone to like?”
“Uh, this…” Xue An was also a bit puzzled, this question seemed impossible to answer.
At this moment, Jian Qi’s gaze on Xue An gradually turned heated, “How about… I just like you then! After all, you look pretty pleasing, and your swordsmanship is so powerful!”
Jian Qi’s words almost made Xue An bite his tongue, and he immediately refused, “Miss Jian Qi, don’t speak nonsense, I already have someone I like!”
“What does that matter? As long as I like you, that’s enough, who you like has nothing to do with me?” Jian Qi said with an innocent expression.
Xue An fell silent.
Only then did he understand that the ethereal woman in front of him was a complete sword lunatic.
Her Sword Dao Cultivation could be called peerless in the world, but she was completely clueless about interpersonal relationships and emotions, just like a blank sheet of paper.
“Oh well, that’s settled. From now on, I’ll try to like you and then develop longing for you!” Jian Qi made the decision boldly and straightforwardly.
“Uh…” Xue An was just about to say something.
Jian Qi had already turned around and, without looking back, said: “Thank you for teaching me, but after I forge my Sword Intent successfully, I will still come to test my skills against you!”
“At that time, I will definitely defeat you, then stand out among all swords, reaching the summit of The Multiverse!”
“By then, I will no longer be called Jian Qi, but the rightful Miss Jian Yi! Hahahahaha!”
Amidst hearty laughter, Jian Qi unleashed a sword strike, directly slicing open the space in front, then stepped in, disappearing into the vast void.
Seeing the carefree departing figure of Miss Jian Qi, a brilliant light involuntarily appeared in Xue An’s eyes, and he whispered softly.
“Alright! I’ll be waiting for that day!”
This was an extremely grand banquet.
From Hua Country, E Country, M Country…
Almost all the political and celebrity figures from each nation had come.
Combined with the strong individuals present, the scale of the banquet became very large.
But in front of Hua Country’s strong organizational ability, all this was no problem at all.
Several high-powered armed helicopters flew directly to the nearest city, starting to transport various ingredients needed for the banquet.
And a plane full of world-renowned chefs had already taken off from Zhongdu, arriving at the banquet location in just over an hour.
This chef team was truly luxurious, yet they still showed expressions of excitement upon stepping off the plane.
Because for them, this might be the most important banquet they have ever attended in their lives, as well as the one with the most attendees.
Everyone cherished this opportunity exceedingly.
Therefore, they all showcased their best skills, and in no more than an hour, steaming dishes of all sorts were presented like flowing water.
The wine was good, the food was amazing!
The attendees were also in a state of ease and joy, so the atmosphere of the banquet soon reached a climax.
Countless people were clinking glasses, chatting and laughing, expressing their delight as much as they could.
From time to time, people would look with infinite reverence towards the center area of the banquet.
Because that was the core of the entire banquet, and also the place where the War God Xue An was.
At this moment.
Xue An, who was the focus of everyone, had become the person people wanted to toast to.
Numerous usually aloof and aloof social celebrities were lining up in a long queue just to clink glasses with Xue An and have a drink with him.
Possibly unable to even say a word throughout the process, yet people still enjoyed it, and took it as an honor.
And Xue An didn’t refuse anyone, drinking cup after cup.
The more he drank, the clearer his gaze became.
Finally.
After drinking who knows how many cups, all those who wanted to toast were already somewhat intoxicated, some even deeply drunk.
But only Xue An remained usual, without a hint of drunkenness.
Upon seeing this, people finally understood a truth.
That is, the Immortal King is not only exceptional in fighting, but also excellent at drinking.
Though they didn’t know that not every Immortal King could drink.
For instance, now, the slightly wobbly Huyue, his face already flushed from drinking, came over and plopped onto the neighboring sofa.
“What? Drunk again?” Xue An asked with a smile.
“No… not drunk, just a bit dizzy!” Huyue mumbled with a slurred tongue.
“Come on, how many drinks have you had?”
Huyue extended two fingers, “Had four drinks! Hehe, do you think my drinking capacity has increased?”
Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, then extended one finger, “How many is this?”
“Stop waving it around, isn’t this just two?” Huyue grumbled displeased.
Xue An nodded, “Your drinking capacity has indeed increased, at least you can still count!”
“Don’t laugh at me! Do you think everyone is like you, drinking like it’s water? Those guys actually thought they could outdrink you, really overestimating themselves!” Huyue babbled on.
Xue An laughed, then changed the topic, casually saying: “I heard from Yan’er that you brought back a mortal girl, claiming she’s your girlfriend?”
“Yes!” Huyue leaned back on the sofa, smiling foolishly.
Xue An glanced at the girl chatting with An Yan in the distance and said softly, “Is it her?”
Huyue nodded, “She’s called Ah Rou, a very gentle girl, I love her very much!”
When saying this, Huyue’s eyes seemed to glow.
Xue An turned his head to look at him, his eyes seeming to glitter.
“Old Xue, why are you looking at me like that?” Huyue asked.
“Nothing, just a bit surprised, that a lazy person like you would actually talk of love?” Xue An chuckled lightly.
“What? Do you think I’m not worthy of talking about love?”
Xue An shook his head, “It’s not about worthiness, it’s to remind you, since you truly love each other, then don’t care about other things, after all, time is long, and only feelings don’t fail, so if you love her, then don’t let her down!”
Huyue looked at Xue An somewhat surprised upon hearing this, “You have no objections?”
Xue An looked inexplicably at him, “Why would I have objections?”
“I thought you’d say she’s a mortal girl, and also blind…”
Hearing this, Xue An laughed softly, waved his hand, then his expression turned solemn, “Mortal, so what? Which of us wasn’t once a mortal? Compared to sincere feelings, these external things are simply insignificant! Besides…”
A trace of mischievous smile appeared on Xue An’s face, “If this Miss Ah Rou hadn’t been blind, would she even look at you!”
Huyue: “…”
Then he said somewhat gloomily, “Don’t know why, suddenly really want to beat you up! But Old Xue, you’re really not playing fair!”
