"Go! Definitely go! I can't wait to taste the good wine on Murloc Island!"
Hearing Shogun Shen Kun's words, Xia Luo was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his senses.
He walked forward as he had already located the tavern.
Shogun Shen Kun hurriedly followed, and Paul and the others behind him trotted over impatiently with eager looks on their faces.
They were all drunkards and could already smell the wine.
Bang!
Xia Luo kicked open the door with one foot.
Lately, Xia Luo didn't know who he had learned this from, but he always kicked the door first when entering a place. This made him seem extremely imposing.
The sound of Xia Luo kicking the door immediately caught the attention of all the murlocs in the tavern.
Most of the people here for a drink were males.
"A human?"
The moment they saw Xia Luo, a murloc exclaimed in surprise.
"It's a human!"
All the murlocs gasped in shock upon seeing Xia Luo.
After all, it was quite rare to see a human on Murloc Island. This wasn't twenty or thirty years later in the Great Age of Exploration. Back then, when sailing to the New World, ships didn't go through Murloc Island. Instead, they took the World Government's route. As long as they paid a tax, they could pass safely, which was much better than the Murloc Island route with a seventy - percent mortality rate.
Basically, the only ones daring to take the Murloc Island route were pirates and slave - hunting teams.
However, these people weren't well - liked on Murloc Island. They caused destruction everywhere and captured beautiful mermaids or strong murlocs.
This led to many murlocs and mermaids being hostile towards humans.
"Damn humans, get out of Murloc Island!"
A clearly drunk murloc threw the wine bottle in his hand at Xia Luo the moment he saw him.
This made Shogun Shen Kun, who was behind and witnessed everything, suddenly feel a pang of anxiety.
Was he really that unlucky? Such a thing happened as soon as they entered!
Bang!
Xia Luo reached out his hand and caught the empty wine bottle steadily. He looked at the murloc who had thrown it.
His eyes were filled with a cold glint!
"Wait, Captain Xia Luo, I'm so sorry. I really apologize that you have to encounter such a thing!"
Shogun Shen Kun felt as if the air around them had solidified. He quickly stepped between the two parties to soothe Xia Luo.
"Captain Xia Luo, don't take these murlocs seriously. They're just a bunch of drunkards!"
Shogun Shen Kun quickly said.
"Shogun Shen Kun!"
Seeing that it was Shogun Shen Kun who had entered, those murlocs who were previously drunk immediately sobered up.
They were all surprised when they saw Shogun Shen Kun.
Hearing that everyone recognized him, Shogun Shen Kun heaved a sigh of relief.
"Quick! Drag him away for me. All of you, leave here. I'll pay for your drinks. Just leave quickly!"
Shogun Shen Kun looked at these murlocs and immediately said.
"This! Shogun Shen Kun..."
These murlocs were a bit confused. They didn't understand what was going on. It was just a human. Why was the esteemed shogun of Murloc Island being so humble towards a human?
But before they could finish speaking, Shogun Shen Kun gave a look to the guards behind him.
These murloc guards understood what Shogun Shen Kun meant. Each of them was holding a spear and walked into the tavern.
"Shogun Shen Kun! Shogun Shen Kun!"
These drunken fish - men were escorted out by the fish - man guards.
Shogun Shen Kun carefully took the empty wine bottle thrown by Xia Luo.
"Captain Xia Luo, please come in. I'll cover your drinks. Have a good time!"
After taking the empty bottle from Xia Luo, Shen Kun breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Luo wasn't angry.
Hearing Shen Kun's words, Xia Luo smiled.
"Guys! Drink your hearts out!"
Xia Luo plopped himself down on a clean seat.
Seeing this, Shen Kun gave a bitter smile. It seemed he was going to take a huge financial hit this time.
The mermaid waitresses and the tavern owner stood there, stunned and at a loss.
Shen Kun quickly walked up to an elderly mermaid and whispered a few words to her.
Only then did the elderly mermaid react and quickly urged the other mermaid waitresses to serve the drinks.
Having seen a lot in her life, when she saw Shen Kun accompanying them, she knew these people were no ordinary folks, so she didn't dare to be negligent.
Xia Luo looked at the bottle of wine that was served. He opened it and gulped it down in one go.
The moment the wine entered his mouth, Xia Luo's eyes lit up.
"Good wine!"
Xia Luo shouted loudly while looking at the bottle.
"Keep the wine coming!"
Xia Luo slapped the table and roared.
"Come! Shogun Shen Kun, come and drink with me!"
Xia Luo pulled Shen Kun to sit across from him.
Hearing this, Shen Kun gave a wry smile inwardly, then gritted his teeth, picked up the wine and downed it in one gulp, going all out.
"Hahaha! Good drinking capacity!"
Seeing Shen Kun down the wine in one go, Xia Luo praised him.
"Roar! Hahaha! Of course! I can hold my drink too!"
After a mouthful of wine went down, Shen Kun stopped hesitating and laughed out loud.
"Hahaha!"
Xia Luo burst out laughing after hearing that.
And Shen Kun also laughed heartily.
"Roar! Hahaha!"
The two started to compete, drinking bottle after bottle.
Even the crew members following Xia Luo and the fish - man guards started to drink.
The once - quiet tavern became lively again, filled with men's loud laughter.
This made many mermaids and fish - men stand outside and watch.
Once Xia Luo started drinking, he lost track of time.
Anyway, when he woke up, he was lying in a pile of men.
There was also a faint fishy smell.
Xia Luo sat up and saw a foot lying on him.
He quickly shook the foot off!
"Ah!" Xia Luo heard a pained cry and looked over.
It turned out to be Shogun Shen Kun.
After the pained cry, Shen Kun also woke up. He shook his aching head and felt dizzy.
"So painful!"
Not knowing whether it was a headache or a foot pain, Shen Kun stood up.
Looking at the hall full of people lying here and there and thinking about the scene of him drinking with Xia Luo yesterday, he gave a bitter smile.
"What? Are you feeling wronged for drinking with me, Xia Luo?"
Xia Luo happened to see Shen Kun's bitter smile and asked discontentedly.
Hearing this, Shen Kun was stunned and looked up in the direction of the voice.
Xia Luo was already sitting at a clean table, looking at Shen Kun.
"No no no!"
It's been ages since I got this hammered!
Jinkun (a character's name) recalled that when he was young, he and a bunch of his buddies from Murloc Street would do the same thing as today whenever they had some money.
But ever since he became the shogun, he hadn't had such an experience again.
Because he had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Fish - Man Island. He couldn't be like before!
"Hahaha! Since you're awake, let's shoot the breeze!"
Xia Luo (a character's name) looked at Jinkun and invited him.
It was just dawn on Fish - Man Island. Looking at the crew members sleeping like logs around, it seemed they wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
After hearing Xia Luo's words, Jinkun looked at him in surprise.
He never thought that Xia Luo, the so - called Blood Swordmaster known to the world, was such a nice guy!
Seeing Jinkun looking at him in such surprise, Xia Luo couldn't help laughing.
He was a full round older than himself, but now he was looking at him in surprise like a child.
