The cultivator surnamed Mao angrily said, "They used the fact that we were fated to meet them and decided to have a drinking contest with the three of us. Brother Wei was forced to drink by them."
"Oh? Is that true? "
The cultivator surnamed Yin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xiao Lingyu and the others. He was astonished. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they only had one early-stage Spirit Demon cultivator and a child who looked to be about ten years old. How could they have such a high tolerance for alcohol?
After taking a closer look, the cultivator surnamed Yin was even more puzzled. Although four of the five were adjusting their breathing with their eyes closed, suppressing and refining the alcohol, they didn't look drunk at all. Their complexions also didn't change. In particular, the True Demon cultivator looked as if he hadn't drunk at all.
The cultivator surnamed Yin glanced at them and said with a smile, "Haha, Brother Mao, now that we have five people, why don't we have a few more cups with them?"
When the cultivator surnamed Mao heard that they still wanted to drink, his heart trembled. At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Lingyu and saw Xiao Lingyu smiling at him. He suddenly felt the alcohol rush to his head and his mind become a bit muddled.
However, reinforcements had arrived and he couldn't lose face in front of reinforcements. Cultivator Mao steeled his heart and said, "Yes, it's fair if we drink now!"
"Waiter, bring four jugs of mid-grade Roaming Dragon Song!"
The cultivator surnamed Yin shouted and slowly walked to the table where Xiao Lingyu and the others were seated.
Just as he walked to the table, the waiter brought four jugs of alcohol and placed them on the table.
"Fellow Daoists, I'm late. I'll punish myself by drinking three cups."
With that, the cultivator surnamed Yin downed three cups in succession, but his aura didn't change at all.
Xiao Lingyu could tell that the Yin cultivator's cultivation level was much higher than the Mao cultivator's. He was already at the mid-stage Spirit Fiend realm. He should be able to drink two pots of the mid-stage Roaming Dragon Roar without getting drunk.
The cultivator surnamed Yin poured another cup and said, "Come, let me toast you all."
However, Xiao Lingyu did not raise her glass. She only glanced at the other party and continued to put food into her mouth. She had no intention of responding at all.
After the cultivator surnamed Yin finished his fourth cup, he saw that Xiao Lingyu wasn't moving and Zhu Jin and the other three didn't have any intention of opening their eyes. His expression was a bit awkward as he said, "Everyone, please give me some face."
Xiao Lingyu continued to ignore him and had no intention of raising her glass.
The corner of the cultivator surnamed Yin's mouth twitched as he coldly said, "Could it be that you all look down on me?"
The other guests on the third floor all looked over with expectant looks.
"We've had too much to drink today. If you want to drink more, you can come another day," Xiao Lingyu replied calmly.
"The banquet is not over yet. Everyone is still at the table. What's the harm in drinking a few more cups?"
The cultivator surnamed Yin paused for a moment before continuing, "Furthermore, you were bullying three people with five. It was very unfair."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists here can testify that your three friends deliberately came to drink. They wanted to use their advantage in cultivation to get us drunk. However, their alcohol tolerance was too low and they weren't able to do as they wished."
"Since Brother has already accepted their challenge and isn't drunk in the slightest, wouldn't it be fine for you to drink a few more cups with me?" The cultivator surnamed Yin was unwilling to give up.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, "Hehe, it's not like we have to drink with you just because you want to. It all depends on our mood."
"I think you don't dare." Although the cultivator surnamed Yin was angry, he could only suppress his anger.
At this moment, the woman who came with the cultivator surnamed Yin arrived and said, "Yin Hao, you were boasting to me about how powerful you were and how great your reputation was. I didn't think you would be defeated so quickly."
The cultivator surnamed Yin's originally calm expression had long since disappeared. When he heard the woman's words, his expression became extremely gloomy.
"Drinking wine is originally a form of entertainment when one has nothing to do. It's really not worth it to show off one's courage because of personal feelings. I advise the two of you to invite your three friends back to rest. If they don't go into seclusion to refine the wine, I'm afraid they'll suffer a lot." Xiao Lingyu calmly replied.
The three cultivators should quickly return to rest. Otherwise, the wine might tear apart their meridians and corrode their flesh. After all, they didn't have bodies as strong as Xiao Lingyu's.
The cultivator surnamed Yin forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly said, "They are not ordinary people. This bit of wine won't affect them too much. I've already drunk four cups. I hope you will give me some face."
Xiao Lingyu asked with a smile, "Hehe, we're not friends and we've never even met before. Why should I give you face?"
"Hehe …" The woman happily laughed.
Although her laughter was pleasant to hear and sounded like the chirping of an oriole, it sounded like mockery in the cultivator surnamed Yin's ears.
Xiao Lingyu twirled her cup and said, "However, if you insist on fighting, then there's no harm in us doing so. However, I don't have the slightest friendship with you, so I can't drink with you for free."
"Oh? From what you've said, you want to make a bet? "The cultivator surnamed Yin curiously asked.
Xiao Lingyu calmly said, "Of course. Otherwise, what's the point of drinking wine? Drinking too much will only fill one's stomach."
"Good, then let's make a bet. What would you like to bet?" The cultivator surnamed Yin seemed to be full of confidence.
Xiao Lingyu replied, "I heard the three of them say that we're poor. How about we bet some Devil Stones?"
"Then how much?" The cultivator surnamed Yin asked again.
Xiao Lingyu calmly said, "If we bet too much, then we won't be able to take it out. If we bet too little, then we'll bet three thousand Devil Stones."
"Three thousand Devil Stones?!" The cultivator surnamed Yin was a little surprised. Three thousand Devil Stones were equivalent to thirty Devil Crystals. This was not a small number for any Spirit Demon Stage cultivator, even for a cultivator like the cultivator surnamed Yin who was born in a rich family.
"Too little? That's right, three thousand Devil Stones is indeed too little for all of you. How about we add some more? "Xiao Lingyu said with a strange tone.
"No, no, no …" The cultivator surnamed Yin hurriedly replied and then glanced at the three cultivators surnamed Mao.
The cultivator surnamed Mao hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily at the cultivator surnamed Yin. His meaning was self-evident.
"Good, we'll do as you say. We'll bet three thousand Devil Stones!"
Although the cultivator surnamed Yin agreed readily, after Xiao Lingyu threw the thirty Devil Crystals on the table, he had no choice but to look for the three cultivators surnamed Mao to gather the Devil Stones.
Fortunately, they had enough Devil Stones to gather three thousand Devil Stones. Otherwise, they would've lost a lot of face today.
They were the ones who mocked others for being poor. If they didn't take out as many Devil Stones as the poor, then they would've undoubtedly slapped themselves in the face.
"Drinking one cup at a time is really boring. How about this, let's drink two jugs each, how about it?"
Seeing that the other party had already placed the bet on the table, Xiao Lingyu held a jug of wine and suggested with a smile.
"Although this is only an Intermediate Roaming Dragon's Roar, its alcohol content is extraordinary. Even a late-stage Spirit Demon expert wouldn't dare to drink the entire jug. Are you sure you want to drink it this way?" the cultivator surnamed Yin asked with a frown.
"Why are you so wishy-washy? Since he said so, he'll definitely drink it this way. If you don't dare, just admit defeat and leave," the woman said impatiently.
"Good, since you're so generous, I'll naturally accompany you to the end!" the cultivator surnamed Yin also picked up his jug and said readily.
"Hehe, come, let's drink." Xiao Lingyu used her own jug to lightly touch the other party's jug and then placed the jug's spout in her mouth.
Gulp! Gulp …
Xiao Lingyu's Adam's apple bobbed. In just five breaths, the entire jug of Intermediate Roaming Dragon's Roar had entered her stomach without leaving a single drop behind.
"Good wine!"
Xiao Lingyu wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth and exhaled a mouthful of alcohol as if she was carefree.
The cultivator surnamed Yin's eyelids twitched. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the jug of wine in his hand was heavy and he was having trouble holding it.
Xiao Lingyu tactfully urged, "This wine tastes really good, especially after drinking it in one gulp. Brother, you should quickly give it a try."
The cultivators on the third floor all admired Xiao Lingyu in their hearts and stared at the cultivator surnamed Yin. They didn't dare to dawdle and immediately began to drink.
However, the cultivator surnamed Yin took a full twenty breaths to put down the jug of wine. Moreover, he staggered back a step and his face gradually flushed red.
"How was the taste?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a smile.
"It's not bad, it's not bad." The cultivator surnamed Yin forcefully suppressed the churning in his stomach and echoed.
"Then let's have another jug." Xiao Lingyu didn't wait for the cultivator surnamed Yin to reply and downed another jug of Roaming Dragon's Roar in five breaths. Her expression didn't change at all.
At this moment, the cultivator surnamed Yin was filled with regret. Even after downing two jugs of mid-grade Roaming Dragon's Roar, he didn't show the slightest hint of drunkenness. It was no wonder he dared to make a bet with him.
However, the other party wasn't willing to drink at the start and he was the one who forced him to drink. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself for trying to take the initiative.
The woman urged, "Hurry up. He's already been drinking for half a day. What are you waiting for?"
Xiao Lingyu could see that the woman wasn't on the same side as the cultivator surnamed Yin. She was waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
The cultivator surnamed Yin was also forced into a corner and could only slowly drink from the wine jug.
Looking at the way the cultivator surnamed Yin drank, it looked like he was drinking poison.
This time, it took a full thirty breaths of time. However, when he put down the jug, he bent over and spat out a mouthful of wine.
Xiao Lingyu pursed her lips and shook her head, "What a pity, what a pity."
The woman spoke with a disappointed expression, "Ai, you came to find me. How come you're already at your limit?"
The woman beckoned to the three cultivators surnamed Mao and said, "You three, come and help."
