Chapter 692 - 30: Current Situation... and the Princess of the Moon
"It’s just the convenience of using a spell..."Gu Mo shook his head and explained.
Over the years, not many people knew his true situation.
Even most of the friends he made later just thought he was an ordinary human cultivator who had reached this level solely by relying on human abilities, which made them greatly admire and marvel at him...
This was also very normal, especially as time went on and he did not relax his cultivation practice. Years of training had made his human guise increasingly perfect, with no flaws, so even the usual Demons couldn’t see any problem.
The Ibuki Suika opposite him naturally thought the same.
"Your spell must be really amazing to raise your strength to this level..." The little Ghost girl looked amazed, her expression appeared very innocent.
"It’s still not as good as you, Miss Ibuki..."
Gu Mo chuckled lightly. Even with the Heaven-Supporting Giant Power Technique amplifying his power, it was still of no use; he was easily overpowered by the little Ghost girl as if she were the adult and he was the child.
Several times, he tried to enhance his qi power, but his arm remained immobile, tightly gripped by that slender hand.
He couldn’t help but wonder if she even felt his attempts to burst his strength; it was rather absurd...
The rumors of this little Ghost girl getting drunk and almost moving the entire Demon Mountain started to seem very believable to him; apparently, it was a chaotic scene back then, and a huge crowd almost failed to hold her back. Given the situation, it certainly seemed credible.
"Just call me Suika..." The little Ghost girl took a big gulp from the bowl by her side, waved her hand heartily, "Don’t speak so formally."
"Come on, drink, drink..."
Gu Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth, glancing around. The venue was full of drunkenness, many ghosts, Tengu, and other Demons lying about in disarray, either snoring soundly or mumbling some dream talk.
Those still standing were also flushed, seemingly drunk, desperately continuing to guzzle more alcohol.
It was truly excessive...
It’s only by relying on non-human bodies that they can keep going like this every day; otherwise, they’d drink themselves to death for sure.
Retracting his gaze, he looked at the petite frame in front of him, with a pair of long horns on her head that didn’t quite match her body, and sighed a bit as he held back any words of advice. It was unnecessary and pointless after all these years; this wasn’t his first time at Demon Mountain.
In the midst of his thoughts, he raised his bowl and lightly clinked it against that of the little Ghost girl.
"Hic—"
The little Ghost girl Ibuki Suika downed another hearty drink, then wiped her mouth with her sleeve, letting out a slight hiccup, but it didn’t stop her from gleefully hugging a large wine jar and pouring herself another full bowl, while also topping up Gu Mo’s.
"This is really good wine, but the batch you sent before is almost finished; hurry up and send another batch..."
"That’s not my concern; you should urge those Kappa. I’m just an idle chief now..." Gu Mo lightly shrugged. He hadn’t been handling these minor tasks for a long time, and there was no need for him to personally manage them when it was all outsourced now.
Speaking of which, those Kappa were indeed rather interesting, already trying to understand the technology he handed over to them and beginning to innovate based on it.
Though it was just a budding notion at the moment and many ideas appeared quite amusing, the very emergence of such thoughts was already remarkable. Once they fully grasped the technology and supplemented the related fundamentals, they might truly be able to introduce new concepts...
But that was likely a long way off.
"Gulp, gulp..."
Ibuki Suika straightforwardly hugged the entire large wine jar, boldly tilting it back to drink, filling the air with the fragrance of wine.
Gu Mo shook his head once more, then stood up from his seat; he wasn’t too fond of drinking, usually just having a sip to fit the mood. Now, with the scene resembling a boisterous drinking party, it was a bit too chaotic for his liking.
"Hey, come on... drink, drink..."
A drunken Tengu girl on the ground was muttering, clutching her fan tightly.
Gu Mo carefully stepped over her, walked to the door, and turned back to survey the scene behind him, a true depiction of a demon party.
Except for Ibuki Suika still relatively sober, everyone else was drunk... This was only because the little Ghost girl had just returned from the underground, excitedly joining the party and hadn’t had time to drink much.
If not...
Gu Mo’s gaze shifted slightly; in a corner of the venue was the voluptuous Ghost lady, Hoshiguma Yugi, with golden hair, red eyes, and a white shirt and long skirt resembling athletic wear. She, along with Ibuki the Loli, was one of the Four Celestial Kings, the Ghost King.
At this moment, the Ghost King visibly drunk was engaging in a brawl with a long brown-haired girl with wings on her back and headphones around her neck...
