Chapter 276 The Golden Roc's Quest for a Position
"My identity is rather sensitive, so I cannot continue the incense offering for you."
Following Ayato Kamisato, Pantalone also shook his head and refused.
His current situation is rather awkward; continuing the incense would only cause trouble for himself and others.
Although he was happy to make those people uncomfortable, it would definitely put Shiraki, who was caught in the middle, in a difficult position.
Bai Mu was the only god who had been so sincere to him in all the years he had been pursuing gods, and Pantalone didn't want to make things difficult for Bai Mu.
Seeing Pantalone shake his head, Ningguang, who had been watching his every move closely, breathed a sigh of relief.
If Pantalone agrees to continue the incense, she really doesn't know what to do.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm just a street singer. I'm not up to such a great responsibility."
"I am not the most distinguished person present."
Xiao and Wendy also refused.
However, those unaware of the situation simply laughed off Xiao's claim that "he was not the most distinguished person in the outer circle."
They simply assumed that Xiao's personality made him dislike participating in such activities.
"me..."
Ningguang glanced at Zhongli, then at Baimu.
The mighty Tianquan Star of Liyue can only utter a single complete sentence in frustration.
"Lord Tianquan, you're the only one left. If you refuse, there will be no one to continue the incense offering."
Seeing that Ningguang also seemed to be refusing, how could Hu Tao let her have her way?
"I..."
"I think both Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Bai are suitable candidates to continue the incense burning for everyone. Why does Hall Master Hu have to insist on me?"
After holding it in for a long time, Ningguang finally managed to utter this sentence.
Upon hearing this, Hu Tao glared at Zhong Li and Bai Mu.
Zhongli took a sip of the fine wine on the table and spoke calmly:
“The head of the hall is my superior; your status is higher than mine.”
Seeing this, Shiraki smiled and looked at Kurumi:
“Zhongli and I are friends, and we are of equal status. If Hall Master Hu’s status is more noble than Zhongli’s, then he must also be more noble than me.”
Seeing that Bai Mu and Zhong Li had both expressed their opinions, Hu Tao looked at Ning Guang again.
As her thoughts raced, Ningguang seemed to return to the day when Zhongli was forced by Hu Tao to apologize to her.
Unlike that day, the pressure tonight is twice as much.
"Hehe, since Lord Tianquan is unwilling to continue the incense offering, I do have a suggestion."
At that moment, a kind voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, and Ningguang seemed to have found salvation.
Grandma Ping slowly walked forward from behind, holding Yao Yao's hand in one hand and Naxi Da's hand in the other.
"Please tell me."
Ningguang bowed respectfully to Grandma Ping and then gave up her seat.
"Since everyone is too embarrassed to add more incense, how about we have these two children add more incense and light it for everyone?"
"Okay, I agree."
As if afraid of any objection, Ningguang was the first to speak up and express her agreement.
In fact, even if Ningguang didn't take the lead, no one present would object.
...
"Actually, I think Tie Zhu... um."
"Shut up, boss!"
An untimely voice suddenly rang out, but it was abruptly cut off halfway through its sentence.
...
Naxi Da and Yao Yao simultaneously picked up matches and rekindled the extinguished incense in the incense burner.
"Everyone, have a good meal and drinks tonight, all the drinks are welcome."
As soon as Shiraki finished speaking, Wendy's eyes turned into golden gemstone shapes, as if a switch had been flipped.
...
Xiao looked at the people at the various tables in the room and wondered which table would be most suitable for him.
The people at Shiraki's table were all gods, and Xiao felt a bit of pressure just watching them, so he immediately ruled out that table.
The people at Ningguang's table are all incredibly cunning; Xiao going there would only make a fool of himself.
As for Xingqiu's table, although it did look quite nice, Xiao felt he couldn't handle that big guy who looked silly.
After scanning around several times, Xiao finally fixed his gaze on the table where Nasita was.
"Great Sage, Great Sage, why did you come to our table?"
"Are you also a child who can't drink alcohol?"
Yao Yao raised her little head and asked with an innocent look on her face.
elf:...
Would you believe me if I said I came to see Ge Chenlang Shi Zhenjun?
...
"Come on, Bai...brother, let's have a drink."
Shiraki reluctantly raised his glass and clinked it against Wendy's.
He suddenly realized that Wendy was a very strange creature.
Under normal circumstances, Wendy's alcohol tolerance is practically unaffected by drinking too much.
But on special occasions or when drinking is required, Wendy's alcohol tolerance is surprisingly low.
Shiraki didn't understand this at all.
"Old Bai... hiccup, aren't you supposed to be unable to drink? How come you can drink so much today?"
Wendy, hiccuping from the alcohol, mumbled a question.
Although he was drunk, there was one thing he remembered very clearly: Bai Mu couldn't drink alcohol.
"Uh, who told you I can't drink alcohol?"
"I just don't like drinking, not that I can't drink."
Shiraki rolled her eyes at this noob Wendy.
The reason he never drinks alcohol with his meals is entirely because he can't stand the pungent smell of alcohol.
However, on such a special day that only comes once a year, Shiraki can still manage to drink a little bit.
Although I didn't drink much, it was definitely enough to get this noob Wendy drunk.
...
"Hmm, Shadow, Return to the End, Cheers."
The Great Tree King was already slightly tipsy, but her condition was still relatively good among the three female deities.
Gui Zhong and Ying were starting to get confused.
Upon hearing the call of the Great Tree King, they instinctively filled their cups and then downed them in one gulp.
"I suddenly had some inspiration, and I will play a piece for everyone tonight."
At this moment, the Great Tree King suddenly stood up and took out the Sky Harp from somewhere. Her fingers were already on the strings.
Everyone present who wasn't drunk immediately turned their gazes in that direction.
"Um...wait a minute."
At this critical moment, Ying suddenly spoke up, unknowingly saving everyone's lives.
The Great Tree King stopped what she was doing, her eyes glazed as she looked at the figure who was stumbling to his feet, a hint of confusion in her gaze.
"Today I...learned a few dishes from Chef Xiangling, give me some...burp, after I've cooked them all, everyone can eat and listen at the same time..."
Those who weren't drunk didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and nodded expectantly.
Seeing that the two people who had just been drinking with him had started putting on a show, Gui Zhong, who was already completely drunk, was not to be outdone:
"Everyone, wait a moment."
"Zhongli, lend me some of your power, and I'll bring down a few shooting stars so everyone can make a wish."
