Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

"The submersible should arrive tomorrow. Let's all have a good meal tonight, and get to work tomorrow!"

Mans clapped his hands and put his arm around the first mate's shoulder: "Quick! Bring out the ship's hidden cargo! Let's have some fun!"

His pre-apocalyptic revelry left Xia Mu speechless and speechless, so she could only offer her silent blessings.

However, he didn't expect to be able to have a bonfire party on the ship. The students from Kassel College are all talented; they can easily disassemble some equipment and have an open-air barbecue on the deck.

"what is this?"

The firelight from the barbecue made Erii's little face flushed, and the way she reached out to tug at his clothes showed her excitement; it was clear she was very happy.

"Is this what you call 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'?"

Xia Mu stared at the bottle of Feitian Moutai, utterly speechless.

“Haha, the principal said that no matter where you go, you should enjoy the best local products. This is the best wine here!” Mans patted his belly and said.

Ye Sheng walked over and took the bottle away: "Professor, the principal also said that we can't drink alcohol during the mission."

"Wait, wait, just one bite! One bite! Let me try it! Let me try it!" Mans clung to his shoulder, refusing to let go.

Ye Sheng was both amused and exasperated: "You're the captain, shouldn't you set a good example?"

Mans smacked his lips, sighed in disappointment, and withdrew his hand: "Sigh, once the craving for alcohol takes hold, there's no stopping it."

"Professor, how about some cocktails, something low in alcohol?" said Aki Shude with a smile.

"Okay, Aki is still the gentlest!"

Mans reached out and patted the head of the shokuyaki.

He was like the patriarch of Ye Sheng and the others, treating each of them as a junior he wanted to protect.

"Want a drink?"

Shuto Aki, carrying two stemmed glasses, walked up to Natsuki and Erii.

Xia Mu shook his head: "No, we don't drink..."

Before she could finish speaking, Erii reached out her two delicate white hands and took the wine glass.

"Mumu, I'm 20 years old, I can drink now." Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, probably because she had been restricted at home and had never touched alcohol.

Xia Mu withdrew his hand: "Then let's drink."

Anyway, mixed-race people have strong bloodlines, so a little bit of alcohol is not enough to make them drunk. To make Erii drunk, you would probably need whole cases of Moutai.

Erii held a wine glass, her eyes reflecting the pale yellow of the wine, which contrasted beautifully with her own wine-red pupils.

She glanced up at Xia Mu, then pressed her pink lips to the glass, raised the glass, and let the amber-colored wine slowly flow into her mouth.

It's called a cocktail, but it doesn't actually contain much of a mixture; it's more accurate to describe it as a fruit wine.

Erii didn't even realize it was wine at first, but rather a glass of juice.

She smacked her lips, soaking them in the wine until they were wet.

"Is it good?" Shudeya asked with a smile.

Erii neither shook her head nor nodded, but looked at the wine glass with a puzzled expression: "It tastes only slightly different, sweet, almost like fruit juice."

"It's just for fun, so of course there's not much alcohol in it." Shutoku Aki laughed and walked away.

"Hey, do you guys want to try this...?"

Suddenly, Selma's head appeared from behind.

She tried to put her arm around Erii's shoulder, but Erii, as if she already knew she was behind her, twisted her waist and leaned to the other side of Natsuki, preventing her from touching her.

"Uh…"

Selma awkwardly withdrew her hand, then held up a bottle of liquor, making sure not to be seen by the crowd, and whispered, "I secretly took that bottle of Moutai."

"Is this delicious?" Erii asked curiously.

Selma chuckled, "Of course it tastes good! We hybrids are so immune to alcohol that we don't feel anything from regular liquor; it has to be this strong spirit."

"We have a mission tomorrow, so forget it." Xia Mu stopped Selma from pouring Erii a drink.

Even if it's Moutai, it might not make you drunk, but it would probably still have some effect, like making you a little more daring...

Unfortunately, Erii held his hand, her watery eyes blinking rapidly, and said, "I want to drink..."

Xia Mu was defeated.

Chapter 119 They are good people

"puff…"

Erii exhaled a puff of water mist from her small mouth, and even her eyes were misty.

"It's so spicy...and it doesn't taste good..."

She looked up at Xia Mu with teary eyes.

Xia Mu shrugged: "People who like it will naturally like it, and people who don't like it will never get used to it. I think Wuliangye tastes better. One is a strong-aroma baijiu, and the other is a sauce-aroma baijiu."

"Here, have some."

Erii handed him the wine glass.

"Actually, baijiu isn't drunk the way you just did. Of course, it's spicy if you take a big sip. Baijiu is meant to be drunk in small sips."

God's Arrival

Xia Mu smiled and brought the cup to her lips, unaware of the faint lip print on it.

I took a small sip, letting the wine flow between my lips and teeth, savoring its rich flavor, and finally letting it slowly flow down my throat.

"Try it again? Just drink a little, then let it linger in your mouth for a while before swallowing." Xia Mu handed the cup back.

Selma silently reached out and helped Erii rotate her wine glass 180 degrees.

Erii gave her a strange look.

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow, his face growing slightly warmer.

"what?"

Erii's eyes lit up, and she looked up at him: "It tastes better than before!"

"right."

Xia Mu smiled and looked away from her moist lips.

"Maybe it's not that the wine tastes better, but rather because of the indirect kissing," Selma chuckled mischievously. "I've heard that lovers' saliva tastes sweet!"

"You know?" Xia Mu asked back.

"I…"

Selma blushed slightly: "Heh, how would I know..."

"That's not right. You've graduated from university and you've never been in a relationship?" Xia Mu asked curiously.

Selma shook her head and put down the bottle: "Being an executive officer isn't a safe job. You never know when you might not be able to go back. I don't want to hurt myself or others."

"You seem to be an intern specialist, right?" Xia Mu asked, even more curious.

A flash of embarrassment and annoyance crossed Selma's eyes: "I just haven't met the right person, is that wrong?!"

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Xia Mu gave an awkward laugh and turned to look at his clothes.

Erii had been waiting for him all along. When he turned around, she asked, "Mumu, what is an indirect kiss?"

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then replied, "Kissing through a medium is indirect kissing."

Erii didn't understand: "Does it mean not touching the lips?"

Before Xia Mu could speak, Selma interjected, "Just now, you and he drank from the same side of the glass, and your lips touched in one place, which is equivalent to kissing."

"Really?" Erii's eyes widened, her expression a mixture of joy and curiosity.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. We still have our first kiss, and indirect kissing doesn't count." Xia Mu quickly shook his head.

He didn't want to give up his first kiss here for no reason.

"You two haven't kissed yet?" Selma's eyes gleamed with gossip.

“No, Mumu said that I can only kiss you once I understand what ‘love’ means.” Erii said, taking another sip of her drink and grabbing the whole bottle from Selma.

Take it one bite at a time, and you'll gradually get into the swing of things.

“You guys… are a bit strange.”

Selma looked left and right, completely confused.

"Let's go get some barbecue."

Natsuki ignored her, pushed Erii's shoulder, and led her toward the central deck.

Erii blinked and hid the bottle behind her back.

This wine... it's so addictive!

"Xia Mu, Xia Mu! You two are big stars! Come on, sing a song!"

Professor Mans stood on the second-floor railing, microphone in hand, as excited as a young man.

On the contrary, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya Ji had no choice but to take care of everyone and also deliver barbecue food.

“I love your songs! Especially ‘The Dark Knight’,” Ye Sheng said with a smile.

Akito Shude chimed in, "I like 'Like Smoke'."

“And there’s also ‘I Once Thought of Ending It All’!” Selma popped up again.

"Xia Liyi's 'Invisible Wings' is also very good. Your two songs have a similar style," the first mate said.

Because it's sung by the same person, and they're following the same style...

Xia Mu pouted: "You have to pay me to sing."

The others paused for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.
