Chapter 184: Chapter 54: Thousand Cups Without Drunkenness, How to Break

Feng Xun wants to participate in the Alcohol Battle Conference as well?

That caught Ye Lingyue by surprise.

If really someone were to drink themselves sick, Old Sir Mu who’s almost like a grand old lady, would surely be the first to come to her demanding an explanation.

As if guessing Ye Lingyue’s thoughts, Feng Xun beamed with a radiant smile.

"Do you think I cannot hold my liquor? Though my body is frail, my tolerance to alcohol isn’t weak. In Beiqing where it is bitterly cold, the people are adept at brewing various strong spirits to stave off the chill. Due to my constitution, I practically grew up drinking medicinal wines, and ordinary urns of alcohol cannot floor me." Feng Xun’s words were indeed the truth.

When his Cold Syndrome first manifested, he tried to suppress it using strong alcohol, but as he aged, even potent spirits could not restrain the erratic cold energies within his body.

Still, even so, after arriving at the Empress Xia’s court, he continued the Beiqing custom of occasionally drinking strong alcohol, which did have some benefits for the circulation of Qi and blood throughout his body.

Since Prince Feng himself had spoken thus, it wasn’t appropriate for the others to dissuade him.

Seeing this, Heir Qinghai, not willing to be outdone by Feng Xun, also signed up for the Alcohol Battle Conference.

Even Liu Cheng, that naive youngster, signed up too, spurred by frustration.

This scene was something that Cui Family’s mother and daughter had not anticipated at all.

Especially An Minxia, who was envious to the point of bitterness, watching Prince Feng and Heir Qinghai protecting Ye Lingyue at every turn.

"Since all four of you wish to participate, let’s first sign a Life and Death Contract, such that whatever happens afterwards shall not implicate Immortal Restaurant." Cui Family did not object; having Prince Feng and Heir Qinghai participate in the Alcohol Battle Conference would only elevate the prestige of the Immortal Restaurant.

As agreed, the four signed the Life and Death Contract.

By then, Hai Wuliang had already consumed his eighth urn of Five Treasures Brew, and of those who had participated in the Conference earlier, only a few remained, akin to two or three kittens.

Seeing Ye Lingyue and the three men each take their seats, Hai Wuliang exchanged a glance with the Cui Family.

"Prince Feng, Princely Heir, Lady Ling Yue, and Young Master Liu Cheng, as per the rules, you must each finish an urn of Five Treasures Brew to enter into the phase of the Alcohol Battle Conference. Think it over clearly; there’s still time to back out now," Mrs. Cui instructed a servant to bring over four unopened bottles of Five Treasures Brew.

Seeing that none of the four intended to drop out, Mrs. Cui could only step aside and watch coldly from the sidelines.

A guard of Princely Heir Qinghai stood by his side, pouring the alcohol for him, while on the government and business fronts, An Minxia purposely ran to Feng Xun’s side, wanting to pour wine for him.

Who knew that the Sword Slave shadowing Feng Xun gave her a disdainful glare.

"Off with you, rabble."

The Sword Slave’s voice was loud and intimidating, startling An Minxia so much that she almost dropped the urn in her hands.

But it was precisely at that moment that Ye Lingyue calmly took a seat beside Feng Xun. The Sword Slave glanced at Ye Lingyue and said nothing.

"Damn it, why can she sit beside Prince Feng and I can’t even pour wine?" An Minxia was infuriated by the Sword Slave’s stern demeanor.

"She’s one of our own," said the Sword Slave, lips twitching, his response brimming with righteous indignation.

The Sword Slave was a simple man; in his view, since Miss Ling Yue had shared a bed with Prince Feng, it meant she belonged to Feng Residence.

Before going out, Old Sir Mu, the butler of Feng Residence, had instructed that Lady Ling Yue’s words were to be regarded as equal to Prince Feng’s.

Hearing Sword Slave’s words, approval filled Feng Xun’s eyes, and he thought to himself that he would give Sword Slave a raise when they returned.

Ye Lingyue was momentarily stunned, while Lan Cai’er and Feng Xue at her side were winking and making faces at her.

"You blind dog of a servant," An Minxia was about to burst, but as she spoke, Sword Slave’s long sword trembled slightly, and the Primordial Power of a Reincarnation Realm warrior rushed out like an angry wave.

An Minxia only felt as if she had been struck by incredible strength. Her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground with a plop.

Only then did the Cui Family and An Minxia realize that the Sword Slave who looked as impassive as a wooden figurine beside Prince Feng was actually a Reincarnation Realm expert.

After chiding An Minxia, Sword Slave picked up the wine jar and filled the cups for Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue respectively.

Feng Xun drank leisurely, and Ye Lingyue, internally offering her commiserations to An Minxia, started drinking the Five Treasures Brew.

Upon the first sip of alcohol, Ye Lingyue thought to herself that the Five Treasures Brew from Immortal Restaurant was indeed not bad, but it was a pity that it was far inferior to the diluted Rainbow Five Treasures Brew.

All four of them had quite the capacity for liquor. In just a quarter of an hour, they each finished a jar of the Five Treasures Brew.

Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun sat opposite each other, seemingly not drinking quickly, but as they took turns, cup for cup, they ended up drinking even faster than Heir Qinghai and Liu Cheng.

At this moment, the onlooking guests started to pay attention to these new challengers.

Especially Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun— one a woman, the other a stunningly handsome young man. The two sitting together and drinking were like a pair of matching jades, creating a scene poetic and picturesque, pleasant and delightful to watch.

What was even more astonishing was that, while most people would be flushed and red-eared from a jar of the Five Treasures Brew, both Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun kept a natural composure, laughing and talking at ease.

"Mother, are they really drinking Five Treasures Brew? How come they show no reaction at all?" An Minxia had hoped that Ye Lingyue would get drunk and embarrass herself, but from the looks of it, she wasn’t showing the slightest sign of being intoxicated.

"No need to hurry. It’s just one jar of alcohol. That Prince Feng, being from Beiqing, should have a good tolerance due to his constitution. That Ye Lingyue, probably because she is a Martial Artist, hasn’t had the alcohol take effect yet," said the Cui Family, continuing to watch with cold eyes.

By the time they got to the second jar, Liu Cheng, who was in a gloomy mood, was the first to falter. He slumped over onto the table.

Seeing this, Feng Xue and Lan Cai hurried over.

"It’s nothing serious, just a bit too much to drink. Some hangover soup and a good sleep will solve it," Lan Cai reassured Feng Xue, who had a worried look on her face.

She also noticed there was some tension between Feng Xue and Liu Cheng. It was clear that there was affection between them, and yet Liu Cheng’s status and position... Lan Cai sighed to herself, and ordered someone to support Liu Cheng to the side.

Heir Qinghai fared slightly better than Liu Cheng, but by the time he finished the third jar, his complexion had turned red as if he had excessive blood rushing to his head.

After barely finishing the third jar, Heir Qinghai’s eyes were blurry with drunkenness, and his guards hurriedly supported him.

"Prince Feng, Lady Ling Yue, I can’t take it anymore and have to bow out," Heir Qinghai thought with great reluctance. After three jars of the Five Treasures Brew, how come Feng Xun and Ye Lingyue were still unphased, as if nothing had happened? It couldn’t be that what they drank was water.

Heir Qinghai’s subordinates quickly took out a few hangover pills for him to take, and gradually his complexion started to recover.

By the fourth jar, Ye Lingyue also felt the alcohol rising to her head, leaving her somewhat dizzy. She lifted her bowl as if nothing was amiss, but her right hand secretly circulated the Cauldron Breath technique.
