Chapter 1720: Chapter 1722: Let’s Begin
The alliance between the Witch Sect and the Gods Institution continues, as do the sarcastic drinking exchanges between Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng.
There’s a sense of mutual understanding between the two sides, like well water not disturbing river water!
Yet, everyone present knows that their ultimate targets are each other!
Time is slowly passing by.
Only the Saint of Pouring Wine records the time in boredom amidst the numbness—it’s been two hours since the start!
In these two hours, a lot of what these two have said is beyond his comprehension!
Things like becoming slaves, being exposed, etc., etc.!
After all, in his view, the power of these two is already unbeatable in the world, who then could make them slaves?
Nor does he understand why they laugh.
However, although he doesn’t understand anything, at least he knows one thing—there’s almost no wine left!
"Pour the wine."
Lin Feng’s voice comes through.
The Saint of Pouring Wine hurriedly pours the last of the liquid from the wine bottle for the two.
Watching the final few drops fall into Lin Feng’s glass, Lin Feng’s voice follows: "No more wine?"
Three words, a sentence!
It sounds similar to the repeated phrases of pouring wine, even the tone seems identical.
Yet, the Saint of Pouring Wine instantly feels a chill, as if falling into an ice cellar!
He doesn’t know why, but he automatically imagines the second half of those three words!
No more wine, no more use for you!
His heart starts racing, pupils shrink fiercely, and sweat hairs stand on end!
He feels he is facing death directly!
Though he never grasped the conversation or sarcasm, he knows the essential point from all the words exchanged.
And that is this speaker, far more ruthless and unscrupulous than the other!
At this thought, his legs even start trembling!
"Don’t be afraid!" Lu Xiaobu says with a smile: "You’ve served us anyway, we won’t cleanly discard you after breaking the mill!"
Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, the Saint of Pouring Wine feels somewhat relieved!
"We’ll give you a choice, now leave, and whether you choose to escape or join them is up to you. Of course, as a man of stature, don’t regret your decision!" Lu Xiaobu lays out his thoughts.
The Saint of Pouring Wine breathes a sigh of relief!
No need to die!
A choice?!
He’s not dumb; he’d choose to escape a million percent!
Having seen the terrifying nature of these two with his own eyes, he’s definitely choosing to escape!
"You can leave now!" Lin Feng gestures to him.
The Saint of Pouring Wine bows hurriedly, steps backward, and then runs off!
His mind is set solely on escape now.
However, what he doesn’t notice is upon leaving, he becomes the final wager for Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng at this drink table!
"He will join them!" Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu say in unison.
Then they both smile, and continue eating and drinking!
The Saint of Pouring Wine doesn’t hear their words, but if he did, even having seen firsthand their divine-like guesses akin to the Great Prophecy Technique, he would still scoff!
It’s one thing if you said it about others!
But you’re talking about me, I’ve already decided my thoughts, how could they change?!
Plus, both of you guessed the same answer?!
Really!
...
The Saint of Pouring Wine continues sprinting, but before far, he’s stopped!
Stopped by the people from the Witch Sect and Gods Institution!
"Saint, where are you headed?" The Great Witch watches the Saint of Pouring Wine, speaking.
"Mind your own business, if you want to fight, go ahead, I’m leaving!" The Saint of Pouring Wine says impatiently.
He’s afraid, due to being stopped by these groups, that Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng might misconstrue it as him joining them.
Then he’ll be stuck — not poop but still poop!
"Would you at least hear what we have to say?" The God from the Gods Institution steps over, forming a vague encirclement with the Witch Sect leaders around the Saint!
They absolutely won’t let this person go!
First, Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng are powerful; an extra person means extra strength!
Second, this Saint has been by their sides the longest, likely knowing some unique information!
Third, and most importantly, if a Saint flees, how many psychological shadows would that cause? When formed, how would one fight wholeheartedly in battle?
So, no matter what, they won’t let this person escape!
"What on earth do you want?!" The Saint of Pouring Wine is on the brink of madness!
He just wants to leave, leave those two childish madmen!
"Just to chat!" The Great Witch smiles kindly.
Though that smile is covered by the red and green decorations, making it look menacing!
The negotiations begin!
Time passes, and occasionally the sound of disputes emerges!
But!
Ultimately!
"You promise all you’ve said can be done?" The Saint of Pouring Wine squints, asking.
"Of course!" The Great Witch assures.
"Alright then!" The Saint of Pouring Wine grits his teeth: "I’ll join you!"
Truly, when Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng offered him a choice earlier, he never thought he’d choose this decision!
But with all kinds of coercion and temptation, various analyses laid before him, he wavered!
Eventually, these things suppressed his fear of Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng!
He even actively convinces himself—it’s fine! It’s fine! Those two are just a pair of childish madmen, not afraid! Not afraid! With so many in the God Realm, why fear them?!
Following the Saint of Pouring Wine’s joining, the combined force of those two groups clearly received a morale boost.
Even their progress became bolder than before!
"Seems like this guy made a choice now." Lu Xiaobu says, swirling the last sip in his glass, tilting his head.
"Indeed, this guy chose the right path!" Lin Feng smiles slightly.
To some, this might sound strange!
It’s not strange at all!
This is indeed the correct choice!
Because Lin Feng from the start never intended to spare anyone!
Whether running or fighting, the result is the same!
Therefore!
Running means living a few more hours in terror!
Whereas joining them means dying with high spirits!
Since death is inevitable, it’s certainly better to die happy than sad!
"Then let’s begin." Lu Xiaobu finishes the last of his drink, stretches his hand, and drops the glass, shattering it instantly!
"Begin!" Lin Feng also tilts his neck, finishing his drink...
