Chapter 265: The Gathering of the Seven Gods (Please Subscribe!!)

As for Jiang Yan's little tricks, Lei Dianying naturally saw them all.

She pressed her lips together but said nothing.

"Well, since everyone has arrived, shall we begin?"

Lady Guizhong, looking at the dishes that had been sitting on the table for who knows how long, frowned slightly.

"Why not have the chef reheat the food? The dishes have gone cold."

At first, everyone thought Jiang Yan and the other two would arrive soon, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yan had remembered the wrong place, causing a significant delay.

"It's fine, it's fine. Leave it to me."

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and raised his hand.

The food on the table suddenly began to emit a gentle steam.

Sometimes one must admit, Vector Manipulation is truly a versatile ability.

It can be used for combat, yet it also finds application in daily life.

Like now, manipulating heat to warm up the food.

Super useful!

After Jiang Yan heated the food, the gathering of the Seven Gods officially began.

Everyone wore smiles on their faces, raising their cups to drink together; the scene was once extremely joyful.

Yet, this joy somehow suddenly changed its flavor at some point.

283 "Hey! Ruo Tuo!"

"Drink!"

Jiang Yan and Barbatos, arm in arm, stood on a stool, their faces flushed red, holding their wine cups high.

Meanwhile, Ruo Tuo and Marcus also had crimson faces, raising their cups to drink deeply.

"Thrilling!!"

Jiang Yan laughed heartily.

Barbatos, his face flushed red, kept letting out burps.

Around them, large and small wine jars were scattered all over the floor.

The new fine wine Jiang Yan had brought was long since finished; now they were drinking the wine ordered from the restaurant.

Except for Morax and the others from Liyue, the gods and their retinues from other nations had never seen such a scene.

They all looked at Jiang Yan's drunken state with shocked expressions.

This time, it truly was not Lady Guizhong tarnishing Jiang Yan's image.

It was Jiang Yan himself who had tarnished it.

Morax, watching Jiang Yan cackling with laughter, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Ahem, excuse me, they just can't be held back once they start drinking..."

Morax offered a somewhat pale and weak explanation.

And at this moment, Jiang Yan started causing trouble again.

He was seen pulling Barbatos with him, standing on the stool.

They began to sing loudly.

Meanwhile, Ruo Tuo and Marcus were twisting and turning continuously beneath them.

Morax stood with a stiff face, but the cracked teacup in his hand betrayed his current mood.

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and Lady Raiden, among others, smiled and covered their mouths; Jiang Yan's erratic and unserious behavior was nothing new to them.

One could say that no matter what happened to Jiang Yan, they felt no surprise.

But the Hydro Archon, the Pyro Archon, and the Cryo Archon had indeed never seen Jiang Yan act so unseriously.

This time truly opened their eyes.

"I apologize..."

Morax smiled dryly, wanting to explain something.

But the other gods just smiled and waved their hands.

"This is quite good, isn't it?"

Lady Raiden spoke with a smile.

"Yes, it has been a long time since I laughed so happily."

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata also appeared extremely pleased.

"Hehe, is that so..."

"As long as you don't mind, as long as you don't mind..."

Morax said somewhat awkwardly.

With Jiang Yan, Barbatos, and the others livening up the atmosphere, the entire banquet ended amidst laughter and joy.

When leaving, Jiang Yan could actually still walk with a staggering gait.

But Ruo Tuo, Marcus, and Barbatos were already slumped over the table.

It wasn't that Jiang Yan's alcohol tolerance had increased.

Rather, throughout the entire banquet, most of his own wine had been blocked by Barbatos.

Sometimes Barbatos even snatched the cups to drink them himself.

One must admit, Barbatos is indeed a god who loves heavy drinking.

Good heavens, his tolerance is top-notch.

One could say that during this banquet, Barbatos was the one chasing after three people to force them to drink.

This also gave the other gods and their attendants from the remaining nations, including Raiden Makoto and Lei Dianying, a fresh understanding of the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt.

This Anemo Archon... is indeed a heavy drinker!

This trait was secretly noted by the attendants from other nations.

After settling everyone, Lady Guizhong and a host of other gods planned to go out for a stroll; after all, having come to Liyue, one must properly appreciate its local customs and scenery.

Jiang Yan, relying on the last shred of his consciousness, used his power to purge the drunkenness from his body.

Previously, when drinking with Ruotuo and the others, he usually drank until he lost all consciousness, so naturally, Jiang Yan had no way to dispel the alcohol on his own.

But now was different; with Barbatos acting as a shield against the drinks, he could still retain a bit of awareness.

After forcing the drunkenness out of his body, Jiang Yan took Little Ganyu's small hand and walked toward the Moonlit Sea Pavilion.

"Ah Yan, do you really not need to go back and rest?"

Little Ganyu's eyes held a hint of concern.

After all, although Barbatos had taken quite a bit of the drink for Jiang Yan, Little Ganyu knew that Jiang Yan had still consumed a great deal.

"It's fine; I have already dissolved the alcohol within my body."

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"You can't drink like this at the gathering next time; it was truly a huge embarrassment."

Jiang Yan awkwardly scratched his head; thinking of his behavior in the restaurant, he immediately felt his face grow hot with shame.

Although he knew his persona had long since collapsed under Lady Guizhong's words, thinking of those actions still made Jiang Yan feel his face burning.

After all, this was the Qishenju Society, not a private gathering with Morax and the others; causing such a scene at the gathering was, in the end, somewhat shameful.

"Sigh, you, along with Ruotuo and Markxius, the three of you really have no bottom when it comes to drinking."

"Every time you drink, you end up completely knocked out."

Little Ganyu said with a light laugh.

"Wait until the guests from the six nations leave; then you'll see how the Archon speaks to you."

"Ahahaha, my mistake, my mistake; I won't drink like this next time."

Jiang Yan Succeeds in knocking Ruotuo and the others flat, and his heart was extremely gratified.

It was just that most of the credit for knocking them flat belonged to Barbatos.
