Chapter 577

Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "It smells so good! What is that?"

"Hehe, this is a top-grade dragon saliva incense I purchased from a certain wealthy merchant at sea. I heard it is a product containing ancient bloodlines."

"How much does this cost?"

Paimon, who had never seen much of the world, was shocked by this.

"Less than seven figures in Mora, that's all."

"???"

Ningguang's nonchalant, airy demeanor stung Paimon's little heart.

Less than seven figures in Mora?

That detestable capitalist!

The little one gritted her teeth in secret; how could such a person exist?!

Spending so much Mora just to enjoy a little bit of fragrance! There is no humanity in her at all!

Of course, her true inner thought was whether this rich lady could take her under her wing.

Ignoring the dazed Paimon, Ningguang soon led the group to the second floor of the inner pavilion.

Unlike the deck outside, the guests staying here were truly diverse, too many to count.

White cranes, silver herons, mountain deer, beautiful boys, and handsome youths gathered together, forming a rather bizarre scene.

However, in the eyes of those who knew them, it seemed quite ordinary.

Zhong Li glanced at the group and spoke, "You've arrived."

"We've arrived."

Unlike a round table, the table where everyone sat was a long one; Zhong Li was at one end, while Luo Li naturally took his seat at the other.

Everyone present had no objections to this, as if it were only natural.

Ganyu and Shenhe took their seats on his left and right sides.

Beside Zhong Li were Xiao, known as the Conqueror of Demons, and Moon Carver.

Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper, the two immortals, were located in the middle of the long table, sitting apart from each other.

The immortals greeted Luo Li one after another as he arrived; they were all friends who had known each other for thousands of years. Although there were distinctions of rank, in this current era, this hard-won friendship was truly rare.

Among them, Cloud Retainer, who cared most for her own disciple, was the first to speak: "Your Highness Luo Shen, how has Shenhe been during this time? Have there been any changes?"

Entrusting Shenhe to him had one purpose, which was naturally to discipline that twisted temperament.

·· ·Seeking flowers· ·······

Luo Li pondered and said, "There have been changes, and the results are obvious, but it will still require more time."

Cloud Retainer clearly trusted him very much; hearing this, she was overjoyed, and even her wings couldn't help but flutter.

"Then many thanks to Your Highness for your trouble."

"It is no trouble."

Watching the two converse, Zhong Li rarely wore a faint smile, and after a long moment, he said slowly, "On such a festive day, it is rare for all the immortals to gather together. Should your fine wine not be brought out to share?"

Luo Li knew exactly what fine wine he was referring to without having to ask.

"Hmm? When did you become the same temperament as Venti?"

After a laugh that carried a hint of vicissitudes and mellowness, Zhong Li said, "Living in this world, fine wine and delicacies are the most important matters. Bring it here quickly."

0.... 0

It is estimated that only in front of him would Zhong Li reveal an image different from the past.

At the very least, Lumine and Paimon watched with wide eyes; was this still the Zhong Li they knew!

Lady Ningguang was also surprised by this, as it seemed she had never seen such a cheerful side of the Emperor.

The adepti, however, did not mind, having seen even more interesting scenes than this in the past.

Luo Li shook his head and chuckled; he did not refuse, and quite straightforwardly took out jar after jar of "Celestial Drunkenness," opening them with gusto.

Instantly, a mellow, rich fragrance swept through the venue, driving away even the scent of sandalwood.

Lumine and Paimon immediately felt their mouths water, staring straight at the location of the fine wine.

At this moment, Lady Ganyu and Lady Ningguang, being very perceptive, took the initiative to pick up the fine wine and pour it for everyone.

The Lady Ningguang present was no longer the noble Tianquan Star of the past, appearing as if she were a handmaiden pouring tea and wine.

Moreover, her series of movements were very elegant and smooth, without any sense of incongruity.

"Sigh, it's a pity; if only everyone from the past were here."

Seeing this, the Adeptus who was best at speaking completely disregarded the atmosphere at the scene and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

In an instant, the atmosphere stifled.

"Uh, why are you all looking at me?"

Cloud Retainer was very confused, wondering if she had said something strange.

To have lived this long without being beaten up, it is fortunate that you are an adeptus.

Luo Li clicked his tongue inwardly, not seeing that the expressions of the other two adepti had changed.

Even Xiao, who was always cold and taciturn, seemed a bit off.
