After three rounds of drinks, Bloody Kant was in extremely high spirits.
She kept pulling Dan Feng and Roxy Migurdia to clink glasses and drink heartily, muttering that this was a reward for her hard work writing today.
As for Roxy Migurdia, having met her own teacher today, she was in an exceptionally good mood. So when Bloody Kant urged her to drink, she unusually accepted every cup without refusal, downing one after another.
Back in Millishion, Roxy Migurdia had very firmly refused Mayibeia's offers of alcohol.
At the rate they were drinking, it wouldn't be long before both of them were completely drunk.
Dan Feng was well aware of this, so he only took a few small sips and didn't touch his cup again afterward.
By comparison, the barbecue on the table became Dan Feng's main source of food. After all, drinking made one feel bloated, so naturally Bloody Kant and Roxy Migurdia couldn't eat much barbecue.
However, the dinner didn't last very long. The first to give out was still Roxy Migurdia.
She swayed unsteadily in her seat, cheeks flushed and eyes dazed, clearly quite drunk.
Then she fell asleep.
"Little Roxy really is..." Bloody Kant saw this and was just about to say something, but before she could finish, she suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing onto the table with a thud, unconscious.
Dan Feng looked helplessly at the scene before him and sighed.
He had actually anticipated this outcome long ago, so he had already mentally prepared himself to carry both of them back to their rooms.
"Boss, the bill!" Dan Feng waved toward the burly, muscular man, signaling him to come over for payment.
The man heard the call and immediately walked over quickly.
"How much is it here?" Dan Feng pointed at the table full of leftovers and empty bottles, asking the man.
"It's already been settled," the man replied in a voice tinged with age that reached Dan Feng's ears.
"Hm? Who paid?" Dan Feng looked at him in confusion, and the man pointed at Bloody Kant, who had already passed out drunk.
"Bloody Kant settles once a month, so she never has to pay when she comes normally."
Dan Feng nodded slightly, indicating he understood.
The man gazed at the thoroughly drunk Bloody Kant and said slowly, "I'll have my wife take her back."
Hearing this, Dan Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Does she get drunk often?"
The man gave a wry smile and answered, "She's quite the notorious drinker! Back when we formed a temporary adventurer party and traveled together, every time we reached a town, she would definitely head straight to the tavern to drink her fill."
Dan Feng nodded in understanding and then said, "Then I'll trouble you." With that, he carefully picked up Roxy Migurdia and slowly walked out of the barbecue shop.
It was actually better that he didn't have to send Bloody Kant back—carrying two people alone would have been very troublesome.
He could have managed it, but the drunk ones would have suffered.
This shop was very close to the inn where Bloody Kant was staying; it only took a few short minutes to arrive.
Although it was already night and the surroundings were dark, Dan Feng still walked lightly and quickly reached his destination.
After safely delivering Roxy Migurdia back to her room, Dan Feng turned and returned to his own room.
At this moment, his body was permeated with the strong smell of barbecue, which was somewhat unpleasant.
So he decided to take a bath first to wash off the odor, then challenge the High Elder "Dan Feng" in the Learning Insights again.
Dan Feng skillfully cast water magic, and soon cold water enveloped him from all sides.
For some reason, since coming to this world, Dan Feng no longer liked hot baths and always used cold water.
Once everything was tidied up, Dan Feng lazily lay on the bed, opened the template, and clicked the Learning Insights button, preparing to face the upcoming instance challenge.
...
Some time later.
When Dan Feng's consciousness returned to his body once more, he felt extremely exhausted.
"Can't beat him—the gap in martial skill is too big." Dan Feng clenched his right fist and lightly knocked his own head.
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
During this period, Roxy Migurdia had been constantly supervising Bloody Kant's writing, and the Millis Continent section was already basically nearing completion.
Meanwhile, Dan Feng kept flipping through the books Bloody Kant had copied and entered the Learning Insights instance every day to challenge High Elder "Dan Feng."
In the beginning, he was instantly killed every time, but later he could last a few minutes.
Though he died every time, his spear technique was slowly improving bit by bit.
One day, after filling an entire sheet of paper, Bloody Kant suddenly stopped.
Roxy Migurdia felt very puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Teacher?"
"Tomorrow I have something to do," Bloody Kant said to Roxy Migurdia.
"Hm? What is it?" Roxy Migurdia looked at Bloody Kant, her large water-blue eyes blinking.
At that moment, Dan Feng also walked in from outside, carrying two portions of egg fried rice in his hands.
He had made them himself, borrowing the innkeeper's kitchen.
"Tomorrow is the banquet hosted by the King of Asura. As a count of the Asura Kingdom, I must attend," Bloody Kant pushed up her glasses and explained solemnly to Roxy Migurdia.
"Banquet?" Hearing the word, Roxy Migurdia couldn't help but recall.
Suddenly, she remembered that on the first day they arrived in Ars, the innkeeper had mentioned that many people came to the Asura Kingdom to join in the excitement. Now it seemed it was because of this banquet.
"Does little Roxy want to go?" Bloody Kant looked at Roxy Migurdia with a smile. "I can take you to the outer grounds of the palace."
"Really?" Roxy Migurdia hesitated a little. "I'm a demon race after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to appear at a banquet among nobles?"
"The outer grounds are outside the palace—mostly just famous adventurers. The inner grounds are where the real noble banquet is held," Bloody Kant patiently explained. "So you don't need to worry. Besides, the outer grounds are very lively too, with lots of interesting things to see."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Roxy Migurdia's eyes lit up. "Then it sounds pretty fun."
"Right, Dan Feng can come along too," Bloody Kant seemed to suddenly remember something and turned her gaze toward Dan Feng, who had just entered the room not long ago. "I remember the palace outer grounds are quite large and spectacular. You should like it too."
However, Dan Feng only nodded expressionlessly and said, "You two eat first."
"Fine, then it's settled. Let me warn you in advance—Roxy, you must stay far away from the noble area, especially one fat noble," Bloody Kant said, recalling the man's appearance and background.
"His name is Darius Silva Ganius. He's a senior minister of the Asura Kingdom. He lost his memory many years ago and is now extremely perverted."
