Chapter 23 Diona's Bug-Level Bartending Skills
Seeing Diona's unexpected attitude, Gu Chen stretched out his hand and made a correction:
"Diona, let me be clear, I am an adult, but I have not been ruined by alcohol."
Diona was not much happier:
"Humph, I recognize you, the hero who saved Mondstadt, the Holy Light Knight of the Knights of Favonius. Your name is Gu Chen, right?
As for the one beside you, his name seems to be Paimon, and he is your guide partner."
Gu Chen and Paimeng nodded with a smile, and Diona's eyes were full of seriousness:
“You just said that alcohol hasn’t ruined you, and I’m going to believe you for now.
But because of this, I can't just sit back and watch you get ruined by alcohol!
I absolutely cannot watch you, a Holy Light Knight, turn into a foolish adult who cries and makes a scene when drunk!"
At this point, Diona leaned forward and emphasized again:
"Absolutely not allowed!"
Gu Chen and Paimeng looked at each other in bewilderment.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen changed his wording:
“Diona, you see, I’m a first-time guest at the Cat’s Tail Tavern.
You can't kick me out of the Cat's Tail Tavern, can you? As a bartender, you can't do that.
As for your concern that alcohol would ruin me...
How about this.
If I really get drunk at the Cat's Tail Tavern and do something shameful, Diona, you can throw me out on the street and embarrass me even more! How about that?
Diona seemed frightened:
"Is this... so serious?"
Then she began to think again:
“Well… it’s really not nice to kick the guests out.
As a bartender, it's my job to work here...
Well, since you are so aware, I will treat you this time!
Let me make it clear, if you get really drunk and do something inappropriate, I will really embarrass you! I don’t care if you’re a knight or not!
Gu Chen snapped his fingers:
"Okay! It's a deal!"
So, after Gu Chen chose the wine, he randomly picked a seat and sat there, waiting for Diona to serve the wine.
Paimon sat opposite him, looking a little worried:
"Um... Gu Chen, do you want to retract your promise to Diona? What if you're really drunk?"
"Drunk?"
Gu Chen patted his chest unyieldingly:
"With my current strength and physique, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
Paimeng was still not reassured and gave a vivid example:
"Uh... the singing skills of the street singer should be better than yours, right?
At least better than you for now.
But we've seen him drunk so many times these days that we can't count them all!"
This example really left Gu Chen speechless.
Wendy, Wendy, look at what has become of you in Paimon's mind? You...
Forget it, forget it, no more condemnation, little Dionna is already here with the wine!
Under Gu Chen's expectant gaze, Diona placed the prepared wine on the table:
"Here, Diona's special, try it!
Let me make it clear first, don’t expect too much, I’ve put a lot of extra material in it!
For example, slime, lizard tail, frog legs, and loach gems!
Humph, this time I will definitely make a very unpalatable wine, and I will definitely make you hate alcohol from now on!"
After the introduction, Diona simply stood next to their table, intending to watch Gu Chen drink the wine.
Paimon on the opposite side was terrified.
What's in this drink?
Are the things Diona just mentioned really cocktail ingredients?
Under Paimeng's almost horrified gaze, Gu Chen picked up the glass of wine.
Paimeng was about to stop him, but Gu Chen was faster and drank it directly!
After taking a few sips, Gu Chen pursed his lips and closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste.
Diona looked at him expectantly, and Paimon looked at him worriedly.
Suddenly, Gu Chen widened his eyes, and when he opened them, they even shone!
“What a great texture! What a great flavor!
The taste is smooth yet delicate, and you can taste its rich layers if you savor it carefully.
On this basis, the taste is mainly spicy and cool, but not irritating, and it can make people feel refreshed after drinking it! "
After commenting, Gu Chen generously gave Diona a thumbs-up:
"As expected of Diona!"
After hearing this comment and confirming that Gu Chen really didn't find the drink hard, Diona almost went crazy:
"Damn it! I failed again! How could this happen!?"
Paimon was stunned.
Although she had heard about Diona's cocktail-mixing skills and unique physique, it was still unbelievable when she saw it with her own eyes!
This made Paimeng want to taste the wine as well.
So, the little guy floated over and stretched out his sinful little hand towards the wine glass that Gu Chen had temporarily placed on the table.
Gu Chen glanced over and Paimeng was almost petrified.
She sat back in her seat awkwardly, and began to argue with a wandering look in her eyes:
"Um...I...I'm just a little curious."
Gu Chen also didn't want to let Paimeng down.
He thought for a moment and looked at Diona, who was still depressed.
"Diona, could you please help Paimon make a non-alcoholic drink? Paimon wants to try it too."
Looking up at Paimon, Diona's mood didn't improve much:
"Okay, a non-alcoholic drink...at least it's not alcohol. I'll go make it."
Not long after, the drink prepared by Diona was brought over.
After tasting it, Paimeng's eyes lit up and he was so excited that he flew high!
Now, she was able to taste Diona's cocktail making skills with her own mouth.
I also had a direct feeling of Diona's unreasonable bartending ability.
For the rest of the time, Gu Chen and Paimeng spent almost all their time in the Cat's Tail Tavern.
The two of them were either drinking, eating some snacks, or having a very pleasant chat.
Before they knew it, their spending here had become considerable.
At least, Margaret, the proprietress at the counter, couldn't stop smiling after seeing the bill for Gu Chen's table.
Diona also kept staring at Gu Chen the whole time.
This guy had a few drinks, and if he showed any signs of being drunk and making trouble, Diona would...
Just throw him out onto the street!
However, Gu Chen's performance disappointed Diona.
He really didn't show any obvious signs of being drunk, at most he was just slightly tipsy.
Everything was going well and the atmosphere was pleasant.
However, the conversation coming from the seats not far away made Gu Chen and Paimeng a little concerned.
The conversation went something like this:
"Have you heard? The Knights recently rescued a wolf boy."
"Oh, I've heard of him. He seems to be Miss Lisa's apprentice."
"I'll tell you a secret. This wolf boy is called Lei Ze. He was raised by the wolf pack in the Wolf Territory!"
"A child raised by wolves? Is he still a human being?"
"Who knows if he still considers himself a human being?
Oops, but that's not the point.
The point is, in the abyss disaster that affected the entire Benlang Territory a few days ago, this wolf boy Lei Ze was also eroded by the abyss!
Think about it, this wolf boy who wasn't necessarily human to begin with, coupled with being eroded by the abyss, isn't this Lei Ze in extreme danger right now!?"
