One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Malone took only a small sip before downing the sweet wine in one gulp, looking completely confident.

He turned the glass upside down, and not a single drop of wine spilled, thus proving that he had drunk it all in one gulp.

Wang Ye saw through the trick and chuckled without saying a word. He knew that Baxia, staying in the cup and not coming out, could take up a lot of space.

Seeing Ma Long's performance, the crowd praised him, saying, "Young Master Long, that's awesome!"

"Everyone should drink it all, don't leave even a drop or two – that's not shameful enough!"

'Yes, I did it all.'

Ma Long was overjoyed. After downing the first glass of wine, he wanted a second one. He paused briefly and ate a few bites of food.

He then continued pouring wine and raising his glass: "Gentlemen, although our Salvation Palace has not been established for long..."

But with everyone united and working together, we have now established a firm foothold, and the future looks very promising.

Let me raise another glass; thank you all for your hard work!

"Excellent! We are willing to accomplish great things under Young Master Long's leadership!"

'Yes, I am also a dignified seven-foot-tall man, how can I live a life of mere survival?'

I'm working for Young Master Long!

Me too!

Ma Long drank it all in one gulp, then turned the Baxia cup upside down without spilling a single drop of wine.

After a moment, Malone raised another glass of wine: "Gentlemen!"

This third toast is to thank everyone for their trust and support.

I believe the future of the Salvation Palace will be bright and colorful.

Let's work hard together and move towards the future!

"Great! Young Master Long, you're too kind. It's a blessing we've earned in our past lives to be able to follow you; we're overjoyed."

"That's right. I was originally a demon of the Quanxing sect, trampled on by thousands and despised by tens of thousands. I was lucky enough to enter the Salvation Palace, which is why I am where I am today."

This is truly a sudden rise in status, and we are overjoyed!

After three drinks, the atmosphere at the party began to warm up, and Ma Long spoke again: "Alright, three drinks have been served."

Everyone, don't hold back, drink freely! Tonight, we won't leave until we're completely drunk!

Wow, let's drink until we drop!

The hall immediately became lively, with people clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

Wang Zhenqiu approached Ma Long with a wine glass in hand: "Brother Ma Long, you really have great skills!"

You have a great ability to boost morale!

No wonder you were able to build the Salvation Palace to such a large size in just a few months.

"Come on, go back to your seat and drink your wine properly!"

Ma Long ignored him and told him to go back on his own. Wang Zhenqiu wasn't angry and turned to chat with Wang Ye.

"Master Wang Ye, uh no~ Brother Wang Ye, you see I always call him the wrong name."

How many people are there in the Salvation Palace now?

"do not know."

Wang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and after giving him a few perfunctory replies, he poured himself a drink.

Just as Ma Long was enjoying his meal, Xia He walked over gracefully and said, "Longlong, let me offer you a toast!"

"Uh~ Sister, stop joking, come sit with me!"

Malone's chair is very spacious; two people can sit comfortably without feeling cramped.

Xia He placed the wine glass on the table, gently tossed her hair, straightened her cheongsam, and slowly sat down next to Ma Long.

She draped her arm over Malone's shoulder, the two almost touching, and Malone could already smell an alluring fragrance.

He whispered, "Uh... Sister, this isn't appropriate!"

After all, it's already embarrassing enough to show nude photos.

If people mate in public, probably no one would accept it, right?

Xia He ignored him and instead smiled at everyone present. Her alluring figure was captivating, but at this moment, with Ma Long in her arms, no one dared to disrespect her.

She looked around as if asserting her dominance, paying particular attention to the women's area.

Ma Long asked, puzzled, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing. I just saw that you're very popular with the opposite sex, so I cut down a peach grove for you."

You won't blame your sister, will you?

Xia He smiled and said to him, a sweet fragrance intoxicating him.

"Uh... a peach blossom grove?"

"When did my sister develop such skills? Amazing!"

Malone didn't know what to say, so this was the only reply he could give.

Xia He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, do you think you're the only one who's working hard at cultivation?"

You leave all the important and trivial matters in the palace to me, while you happily roam around freely.

A few days ago, I felt that I had changed a little, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Anyway, my cultivation speed had increased a lot.

Furthermore, many new extended capabilities have been developed, such as the ability to see a person's romantic prospects.

After hearing this, Ma Long sighed in amazement: "Cultivation acceleration? There's such a good thing?"

"Don't worry about the reason, it won't do any harm anyway."

Xia He nodded, picked up the wine pot, and filled Ma Long's cup with wine: "Hey!"

Wait a minute, how can it be full after only a few pours?

"Wow, the dragon turtle inside is that big?"

Ma Long quickly stopped her: "Shh!"

Sister, be careful what you say; don't let this get out of hand.

He immediately snatched the Baxia cup, looked at the smiling Baxia inside and nodded.

Xia He naturally understood and chuckled softly, "You really are something else."

Oh, right, there are two things I need to tell you.

Firstly, there are too many people in our Salvation Palace now, and the few of us simply can't manage them all.

And you can't expect me to be busy with those trivial things every day!

I am, after all, Elder Zuo. You secretly moved some of my work aside.

Or, selecting more cadres and involving them in the management center would be much better.

Malone had also thought about this question. There were nearly a hundred people present now, and with those who hadn't come, the total number of superhumans in the Salvation Palace was now close to two hundred.

Malone nodded: "Okay, let me think of a promotion plan."

Is there a second thing?

Seeing that Ma Long agreed, Xia He calmly continued, "As for the second thing..."

You absolutely cannot refuse!

I heard from my baby that you're going to the Dragon and Tiger Summit after the New Year, and you must take me with you.

I'm practically becoming a marginalized tool now, this won't do!

Hurry up and replace me with someone else; I don't want to deal with these trivial matters anymore.

After Xia He finished speaking with some grievance, Ma Long also felt guilty. The Salvation Palace was able to smoothly pass through the initial stage thanks to Xia He and the others.

"It was indeed my oversight; my sister has suffered these past few months!"

"I'll think of a way to get rid of you, and from now on you'll stay by my side!"

Xia He was overjoyed when Ma Long finished speaking. She cupped Ma Long's face and gave him a big kiss: "What an annoying little devil!"

"It's settled then. We'll discuss the details tonight."

Xia He picked up her wine glass and returned to her seat with a satisfied smile.

Marlon remained immersed in the kiss for quite some time before snapping out of it, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

His face was full of smiles, savoring the feeling from just now for a long time.

After calming down, she said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, sister."

How should I manage personnel? Should I appoint more elders?

That's too high!
