Monarch Night

Everyone nodded silently.

The Five Spirits Gu being inside the body, this is unavoidable.

"So... if you still remember the Worldwide Escort Agency, everyone, when in trouble, lend a hand to each other."

The Starlight Master smiled faintly: "Although we are all... haha, there are some things, some experiences, that are unforgettable and irreplaceable."

He glanced over everyone's faces, sincerely saying, "I don't want any of you to die. So, when in trouble, extend a helping hand to each other. This cup, I offer in gratitude for the brothers who will be helped in the future!"

He raised his cup abruptly and drank it all in one go!

Everyone raised their cups at the same time, a few girls' eyes turned red, and in unison, they said: "Thank you!"

They drained their cups in one go.

Suddenly, they felt a rush of hot blood coursing through their bodies.

Unexpectedly, parting sorrow rose suddenly.

The fine wine went down, and everyone felt a pang of bitterness arise in their hearts.

In the vast hall, no one spoke, every face was heavy.

"This third cup of wine..."

The Starlight Master raised his cup, looking at the wine rippling under the light, and said softly: "is a warning cup. From this day forward until the day you leave, I will demand higher progress in your cultivation."

"Punishment will also be heavier."

"As long as you are in the Escort Agency, don't even think about a moment's ease day or night!"

He laughed loudly and said, "I'll torment you so well that in the future... hate me! Hahaha..."

"Cheers!"

The Starlight Master shouted loudly, drinking it all in one go.

Below, more than six hundred people solemnly drained their cups at the same time.

Their hearts surged with hot blood.

Although no one said it, everyone understood the meaning of the Starlight Master.

He was still afraid that we would die after returning.

So in the last time, he trained us intensively to improve.

Hoping everyone gains a bit more self-preservation ability.

He just said it in another way.

Yet it made everyone's hearts surge even more, leaving a deep impression of the Starlight Master.

He is rough, he is brutal, he is ugly, he is also a demon, even a demon amongst demons.

But this person has become deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.

Like a mentor, like a father, like a brother, like an elder.

And... no matter how he is, in this life and this world, it is hard to feel ill towards him!

Everyone looked at the Starlight Master, silently raising their cups and drinking slowly.

With this third cup of wine, they all felt it had a different kind of feeling.

Needing to sip slowly, drink gradually.

Taste carefully.

...

The Starlight Master laughed loudly, placed the cup down abruptly, and shouted: "Damn it! Payout!"

Zhou Mei'er immediately called out: "Chief, you swore, penalty drink three cups!"

Suddenly everyone responded, creating an uproar: "Yes, yes, penalty drink three cups!"

The Starlight Master was stunned, with a black face said: "Doesn't this count?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Definitely counts!"

So the Starlight Master, with a black face, got punished with three cups by everyone.

The one who set the rules was the first to be punished by them. Everyone immediately felt refreshed! One by one burst into laughter.

Then they started paying out wages.

Beyond everyone's expectations.

The Starlight Master's wages were very generous.

Each of the two Vice Chiefs received ten thousand taels, plus a bonus of five thousand taels.

The remaining heads of the escort were given based on their time with the agency, generally several thousand taels each.

Even the least got one thousand taels.

Instantly, cheers were thunderous.

"Long live the Chief!"

The Starlight Master gave out several million taels of silver in this payout.

Zhou Mei'er frowned: "Chief, all the money we've earned over time didn't even amount to this. Did you just give it all away?"

These words quieted everyone down.

The Starlight Master smiled faintly: "It's alright, the money belongs to everyone anyway, we'll earn more later. When you're gone, the new people won't get this kind of treatment."

Everyone stood proudly with their chests out.

The Starlight Master then said: "Moreover, according to our schedule, we pay every three months, you guys might not even be around for the next payout, you may have already left."

He smiled: "So, offer more this time, when you're gone, I'll pocket the rest myself."

Everyone laughed: "The Chief is right!"

The Starlight Master laughed heartily: "I lastly announce one thing. Then we start drinking and watching plays!"

"Please speak, Chief."

Under everyone's gaze, the Starlight Master loudly proclaimed: "Tomorrow is a day off, go shopping! Buy whatever you want for your family, but don't exceed the wage paid today!"

"Long live!~"

Everyone cheered in unison, almost lifting the roof.

"Watch plays! Drink wine!"

"Ahhh..."

The long-awaited theatricals started performing immediately, and the strings and woodwinds sounded simultaneously, melodious and pleasant.

And in the hall, the feast began simultaneously.

The aroma of fine wine and songs flew,

One cup after another;

Tonight's wine makes us drunk today,

Who cares about tomorrow's return or not.

A group of small demons, spirited and soaring, opened their hearts and embraced freely, indulging wantonly in intoxication.

One by one, they held wine cups, forming a long line to toast the Starlight Master.

"There are so many of you, I can't drink you all!"

The Starlight Master's loud cries resounded continuously, but everyone didn't care. They laughed and toasted. So the Master began to cheat, taking a sip, wetting his lips, or secretly pouring it away, or finding someone to drink on his behalf.

But everyone paid no mind, their enthusiasm growing even higher.

They drank too much.

The entire hall began the true dance of demons rampantly.

Zhao Wubai rushed onto the stage, singing in high voice with the performers.

Jiang Bin took off his shirt, twisting and turning in front of each table.
