The overlord of the gods is interrogating the alien female spy.

　As long as you go along with her, you may not become very close to her, but you will definitely avoid conflicts.

　But this kind of gameplay already has one character; how can you only try one way to win over a dating buddy?

　"Did Miss Na Xi win?"

　Someone who brings up a sore spot will immediately get a 'you want to die' look.

　Chapter 50: Falling into a Pit at the First Provocation

　Just as Chen Lingxu had predicted, Xi, with her pride, would not distort the truth no matter how angry she was; a loss was a loss.

　"Never fought."

　But her little mouth still didn't soften.

　"Although her magic countered my abilities, my skills are not to be underestimated, and naturally she suffered many injuries as well."

　A necessary amount of stubbornness is also an essential part of the process.

　really?

　That wretched Qilin is looking at her with provocative eyes again.

　That despicable guy... If it weren't for the Nine-Colored Deer, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

　"It's good that Xiaoxi isn't hurt."

　The nine-colored deer gently nudged the qilin under the table with the tip of its shoe, signaling him to say something else.

　"Was that person also a Qilin?"

　Chen Lingxu was a little curious about what kind of Celestial Master could defeat this giant beast incarnation so badly.

　"No."

　"Hmm? Why does Miss Xi dislike me so much?"

　"Although she is not a Qilin, she is still a Celestial Master. Do I need to explain the principle of 'hating the house because of the crow' to you?"

　"I see. Then if that person comes to provoke Miss Xi again next time, I, Chen, will definitely lend a hand."

　"You? Hmph. My own affairs are none of anyone else's business. Besides, I've already shown her what I'm capable of, and she doesn't dare to provoke me anymore."

　Chen Lingxu just smiled, which made Xi even angrier.

　How did the Nine-Colored Deer end up encountering such a person?

　"What were you looking at over there just now, Miss Xi?"

　"Yes, Xiaoxi, what were you looking at so intently just now?"

　Hearing that Chen Lingxu had finally changed the subject, the Nine-Colored Deer breathed a sigh of relief and then immediately began to ask questions.

　"It's just a foreign painting. Nothing to worry about. But you, Nine-Colored Deer, where are you going?"

　Xi changed the subject. She was short of money, and everything she ate, slept, wore, and used was hand-painted by herself. When she saw things she liked or new things she had never seen before, she didn't have the money to buy them. But stealing was shameful, so she would stand by the window for a while, trying to feel the artist's brushstrokes and the meaning in the paintings.

　"I plan to go to Baizhao with Ah Xu to see the grand ceremony of the Celestial Master Examination. I heard that this time it is open to the public, and the True Dragon will also be present."

　Since they were going to Baizhao, Nine-Colored Deer had learned some information about the matter beforehand.

　"By the way, has Xiaoxi been busy lately?"

　Upon hearing that the Nine-Colored Deer was going to Baizhao, Xi's expression changed again.

　"I always have a lot to do."

　Seeing her muttering, the Nine-Colored Deer looked at the Qilin who was drinking tea on the other side.

　"Such a grand event must surely be recorded by someone in painting. I've heard that the best painting will be rewarded by the dragon. But there are too many painters, and quite a few of them are just seeking fame and fortune. If their paintings only capture the form but not the essence, yet they are still chosen as the best, what a blow that would be to the other painters."

　"Really? But I think that those who can go to Baizhao to record this grand event must all be masters of painting who have established their own schools of thought. The most outstanding ones must be the greatest painters in the world. No matter how self-admiring the lesser painters in the circle are, they can only watch others take that plaque, hang it in their own rooms, and tell other people who come to learn painting how amazing their paintings are. People who can't appreciate it have no taste and are not worthy of painting."

　The Nine-Colored Deer seemed to be chatting with Chen Lingxu unintentionally, but every word it uttered hit a nerve with him.

　"Humph."

　He slammed his fist on the table, knocking several dried dates off the plate and onto the table, where the boy in blue quickly picked them up and ate them all.

　"Taste? I hate that word. It shuts people out the moment they open their mouths. Who gave them the confidence that their work is truly unparalleled?"

　The Dragon Girl, her rainbow eyes wide open, was clearly enraged. She launched into a tirade against those involved in these so-called "circles," spouting phrases like "As long as you're having fun, that's what matters," "When the time is right, heaven and earth will lend a hand," and "Qi, bone, form, color, and law," among other things. The three men found it all quite amusing.

　"Since Miss Xi has this understanding, why not prove that what you said is correct?"

　"Hmph. If I were to follow those fame-seeking scoundrels and fight tooth and nail for a title, I wouldn't be Xi."

　She patted her ample bosom, tilted her head back, and looked both proud and smug.

　"Is it that you are unwilling to compete? Or that you can't compete? Miss Xi may have superb skills, but this time all the painters in Yan Kingdom are competing on the same stage. She is also the number one painter in the world, personally conferred by the True Dragon. She is a peerless genius who will be remembered in the painting world of Yan Kingdom and even the entire world. It is a good thing that she does not compete. At least she will not be seen as a loser who helped others achieve their goals."

　"fool……"

　"Or perhaps, this is a grand gathering of celestial masters, and the celestial master who offended Miss Xi will also be present. Miss Xi is afraid of bumping into her and causing another argument?"

　"you……"

　Staring at the Qilin that had used provocation, Xi gasped for breath, gritting her teeth in hatred.

　The sight of these peaks clustered together, following her like a shadow, along with her beautiful little face flushed with anger, greatly satisfied Chen Lingxu.

　"Who is afraid of whom?"

　"Xiao Xi? If you don't want to go, then don't go. Don't get angry; it's not good for your health."

　"Nine-Colored Deer, leave me alone. Hey, you Qilin."

　“Miss Xi, I, Chen, have a name. Chen Lingxu.”

　"Hey Chen, what are you going to do if I take that lousy title?"

　"If Miss Ruoxi truly becomes the best in the world, then this is it."

　Chen Lingxu gave a thumbs up, and then said, "Then I, Chen, will kowtow to Miss Xi."

　"On a?"

　"What does Miss Na Xi wish to do?"

　"At the very least, one must kneel and kowtow three times."

　"it is good!"

　“A-Xu”.

　The nine-colored deer quickly grabbed his arm, trying to stop him.

　A man's knees are worth gold; how can he use such methods to spite someone?

　"Oh, it's alright, Lulu. Miss Xi is so confident, how can I, Chen, lose in terms of spirit?"

　Chen Lingxu raised his hand and grasped the small hand, then looked at the dragon girl opposite him.

　"But what if Miss Xi has confidence but accidentally loses?"

　"I'll lose?! Hmph, if I lose, you can do whatever you want with me!"

　Xi had absolute confidence that she would never lose in the art of painting.

　"Excellent! Miss Xi has spirit. Truly, a woman who is no less capable than a man."

　"I admire your eyebrows."

　Xi knew it was a trap, but she wasn't afraid at all. Even if she lost, given her status, the other party couldn't force her to do anything. Considering he was a Qilin Celestial Master, at most he'd just have to make her work for the Great Yan again.

　What are you afraid of?

　"Hey, you two."

　The nine-colored deer looked around the table.

　The two friends weren't friends at all; they were betting on each other out of spite, while the other girl remained silent, constantly stuffing food into her mouth. It was really giving Lu a headache.

　"The food is here. Lulu, Miss Xi, please."

　Chen Lingxu temporarily put aside the idea of ​​posing the other party in any way and invited everyone to eat.

　"We should have some wine. Waiter, pour another pound of wine, the strongest kind."

　"Does Miss Xi drink alcohol?"

　Having already engaged in battle with the other side, Xi naturally wasn't afraid.

　"Although I can't eat as much as my older sister, I can easily eat several kilograms."

　"Miss Xi has a great capacity for alcohol. Since we are both close friends of Lu Lu, it is fate that we met today. Let's drink until we drop."

　"Hmph, it's too late to try and curry favor with me now. You'll have to make sure you don't miss out on any of them."

　"Of course, of course. I, Chen, am a man of my word. Since I promised Miss Xi, I will never go back on my word."

　Three kneelings and nine kowtows... three kneeling postures, nine times each?

　he likes.

　Chapter Fifty-One: Wine-Scented Glutinous Rice Dumplings

　"Gulp... I'm not... drunk yet..."

　The Nine-Colored Deer helped the Dragon Girl who was leaning on its shoulder, and looked apologetically at the Qilin beside it.

　"I'm sorry, Ah Xu. Xiao Xi is a bit stubborn. She understands some things, but... she just can't bring herself to do it."

　"Yes, I can see that, Lulu. Besides, Miss Xi is exceptionally talented, so it's only natural for her to be proud."

　When he challenged him to a drinking contest, it turned out that when this avatar was formed, it was clear that it hadn't considered alcohol tolerance. A couple of cups of rice wine were fine, but after a few pounds of strong liquor, even a giant beast would become dizzy and disoriented.

　"Let me carry her; drunk people aren't very pleasant."

　"Hmm, then, be gentle... thank you, Ah Xu."

　"Hey, don't be so polite with me. Your friend is my friend too. It's only right that I take care of her."

　Chen Lingxu took the little dragon girl, put his arm around her knees and held her in his arms. The long tail that was hanging down was also picked up by the nine-colored deer and draped over her body.

　Lowering your head and taking a gentle sniff, you can smell the ink fragrance that even the smell of wine cannot mask. Squeezing it lightly with your hands, you can feel its softness; nestled in your arms, it's like a glutinous rice ball that has just been soaked in wine.

　"Ugh... Nine-Colored Deer... Don't... Take my cup..."

　"Yes, yes, I won't take it from you."

　Hearing her drunken ramblings, Nine-Colored Deer helplessly tapped her forehead with its fingertip, then led Chen Lingxu to the room that had already been rented.

　"It's really fun."

　It wasn't just the kind of fun that comes from playing with children, but also because of her physical condition.

　Chen Lingxu had seen what the behemoth looked like. Just taking the timeline as an example, its body was a mountain range. To get it drunk, one would need to drink the wine of a whole lake continuously, and only then might it become slightly tipsy.

　However, when consciousness is separated from the body and transferred into the body of a created agent, the physical attributes become similar to those of most Terrans. The alcohol tolerance may be higher, but the agent will eventually get drunk.

　"Waaah... Nine-Colored Deer..."

　Xi mumbled her friend's name in a daze.

　"Yes, yes, what's up, Xiaoxi?"

　"My stomach... feels uncomfortable..."

　Her pretty little face was squeezed together, and her soft, sweet words sounded incredibly pitiful.

　"Sigh, I knew you'd feel unwell after drinking so much. Here, drink this hangover soup."

　Hangover soup...

　Xi shook her head and snuggled into that person's arms.

　"No... I don't want to drink... I don't want to drink anything."

　"Good girl, Xi. You feel much better after drinking it. I'll feed you, ah~."

　“Gu…ah…”

　Coaxed, the Dragon Girl opened her mouth and slurped down two mouthfuls of soup.

　"It tastes awful... I don't want to drink it... I don't want to drink it anymore."

　She only took two sips before tilting her head back and refusing to drink any more, kicking her legs and acting spoiled.
