Chapter 183: Chapter 148: Young Man, What Makes You Worthy to Toast Me? (Part 2)

However, Qianqian glanced at the other person and asked with a stern face:

"I’m an adult, and it’s normal for adults to look a bit younger..."

As she was speaking, a fleeting confusion flashed in the security guard’s eyes, and he replied:

"That’s normal too."

When Lin Hao and his group stepped into the club, Lin Hao took a deep breath...

This place must be oxygen-enriched.

As soon as you enter, you feel quite energized.

Arriving at a new place, one naturally has to take a good look around.

With his Divine Thought outward, Lin Hao felt that the concerns of the River Debris City civil affairs officers about the marriage and divorce rates were reasonable, but worrying about the birth rate...

Perhaps a bit overly concerned?

[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao visits Hehuan Sect’s River Debris World’s Top Luxury Sub-Branch for a ceremonial visit]

[Just entering the gate, he saw a towering stone tablet standing there]

[Engraved upon it was the Hehuan Sect’s maxim–Yin Yang Replenishment, Absorbing Yang to Supplement Yin, Yin Yang Harmony, and Endless Rebirth]

[Residual Pill Ancestor Lin Hao gently stroked the stone tablet, feeling the immense power within, uncertain if it was from a predecessor during the Divinity Transformation or Integration Stage]

"Sir, here is our service menu."

Just as Lin Hao took the menu handed to him by the attendant, Li Chuchu blocked his view.

Li Chuchu: "We don’t need to look at this; we are friends of Vice Captain Xiyu. Please take us to his private room."

After speaking, Li Chuchu heavily pushed back the menu handed to Lin Hao.

...

Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

Pushing open the door of the private room, the music was noisy, the smell of alcohol thick, and figures...

Jumping and twisting around.

"Hahaha, my friends are here!"

When Lin Hao and his group entered the room, Xiyu came swaying towards them, holding a drink in one hand and a microphone in the other.

After standing firm, he smiled at Lin Hao and said:

"Ha, we met just this morning, and now we meet again. Come on, let’s toast to fate!"

Saying this, before Lin Hao could react, Xiyu raised his bottle to Lin Hao, tilting his head back...

Glug glug glug.

After downing the bottle in one go, he let out a satisfied burp, and after looking closely at Lin Hao again, he suddenly noticed:

"Ah, how come you don’t have anything in your hand? Sorry for the oversight, what would you like to drink? Plain water, a soft drink, or something stronger? We’re all friends here, take it easy."

"Plain water, please."

"Alright! Drinking plain water is good; it’s healthy."

Saying this, Xiyu pointed at Li Chuchu and said:

"She’s the same as you, also drinking plain water. You truly are partners."

Hearing this, Qianqian thought of "Happy Milk Tea," realizing she was also a partner in Happy Milk Tea!

So, Qianqian also spoke up:

"I’ll have plain water too.

Hearing that someone seemed to be talking to him, Xiyu looked around.

Who?

Where is the person?

Have I just started drinking and already gotten tipsy?

"Uncle, I’m right here!"

Because of the noisy music, Qianqian shouted again, and Xiyu looked down, his drunkenness disappearing instantly, his brows furrowing:

"You’re underage, who let you in here?"

"I just look underage, but actually I’m..."

Qianqian once again used her ability on Xiyu, but this time, it didn’t work...

Xiyu’s resolute mind caused a minor backlash to Qianqian, making her face a little paler.

Xiyu raised an eyebrow, his gaze at Qianqian becoming somewhat peculiar:

"So that’s it... What an interesting power, no wonder you could get in."

Saying this, Xiyu’s eyes regained a hint of drunkenness, and he flashed a wide smile at Lin Hao’s group of three:

"The plain water’s over there, have fun everyone! Tonight’s on me!"

After speaking, he turned around to bounce back into the crowd with the music’s rhythm, yet quickly turned back, returning to Li Chuchu to say:

"I’ve arranged a meeting with the director of the civil affairs bureau for you! He’s here too; you can talk to him."

Musing over this as he spoke, Xiyu patted his head in a cloud of bewilderment:

"Which private room was it again? Let me think... Oh, right, he’s in the ’No Leaders Allowed’ private room!

When looking for him, it’s best to bring some drinks because he really cares about face, and if you don’t bring any alcohol, he’ll think you look down on him."

After this reminder, Xiyu returned to the bustling crowd, where the revelry continued unabated.

Li Chuchu instructed Qianqian to stay in the private room, took some drinks, and led Lin Hao to the "No Leaders Allowed" private room.

"Excuse me, what floor is the ’No Leaders Allowed’ private room on?"

When Li Chuchu asked the attendant about the specific location of the "No Leaders Allowed" private room, the attendant’s relaxed expression became slightly serious:

"Sorry, we don’t have such a room here."

"I’m looking for the director of the civil affairs bureau, I have an appointment; Vice Captain Xiyu helped set it up."

The attendant’s expression eased again, and under his guidance, Li Chuchu and Lin Hao headed to the service elevator and reached the mezzanine on the second floor...

This place wasn’t accessible by guest elevators.

Lin Hao asked Li Chuchu somewhat curiously:

"Why do you want to meet the director of the civil affairs bureau?"

"In Ke Chen City, hasn’t our Happy Milk Tea Powder Pack had civil affairs buyoffs for usage? Each couple pondering divorce drinks a cup of it. I want to see if we can replicate the success and open up a new market."

After the two stepped off the elevator, someone stopped them, verified their identities, and only then allowed them to enter.

Lin Hao’s Divine Thought immediately locked onto the "No Leaders Allowed" private room.
