In the midst of the discussion, many people were already waiting for the time to pass, wanting to see Han Yunxi lose.
If she lost, she would have to fulfill the terms of the bet. Mu Liuyue's reputation had just gone down the drain, and now Han Yunxi, who had personally set the terms of the bet, was also going to fulfill it!
This was simply the capital's biggest show of the year! Who wouldn't look forward to it? If news of this spread out, the entire Imperial Capital would be shaken!
Of course, Princess Changping and Murong Wanru were also looking forward to it. However, compared to the bet, they were looking forward to Han Yunxi getting drunk even more.
Many people left their seats and came forward, wanting to see more clearly. There were also many people sitting in groups of three or five, whispering. Murong Wanru slipped to Princess Changping's side and whispered, "Princess, are you ready?"
Princess Changping's gaze never left Han Yunxi. Her lips curved in a sinister smile, and she whispered, "Don't worry, watch your show and prepare well."
"Yes."
Murong Wanru understood and quietly returned to her original position. No one noticed her movements.
Everyone's attention was on the three tables in front of them. At this time, Han Yunxi finally smashed the third jug and picked up the fourth.
However, the North and South Lords were already on the seventh jug!
Princess Changping was delighted and "kindly" reported the numbers for the three of them. "The North and South Lords drank six jugs each. Qin Wangfei has already drunk three jugs!"
As soon as she finished speaking, who knew that the North Lord would raise his brows and wink at Princess Changping. Of course, his hands didn't stop moving. He casually threw out the seventh jug, which crashed to the ground with a "bang", leaving not a single drop of wine behind.
Heavens!
So fast!
For a moment, the entire audience cried out in surprise. This finally affected the South Lord and Han Yunxi.
The South Lord looked over and became anxious. He simply stood up, grabbed the seventh jug with both hands, and poured it in even more crazily. Drink, drink, drink!
It had to be said that this kind of Li Muge was too manly. No matter how one looked at him, he didn't look like a sissy.
Young Master Bei's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. He stood up as well and brought over the eighth jug of wine. Holding it with one hand, he raised his head and gulped it down.
As for Han Yunxi, she was still sitting. She held her fourth jar of wine with both hands and continued drinking at the same speed as before.
Victory and defeat seemed to have become even more obvious.
Although there was not much difference between the North and South Lords, and the battle was very intense, everyone was more concerned about Han Yunxi. After all, she had lost, and there was more to see.
"Qin Wangfei, you're already three or four jars behind them. Good luck!"
"Esteemed Princess Consort, don't lose face for us women. Quickly, quickly!"
"Esteemed Princess Consort, you're really too slow. Why don't you admit defeat? Otherwise, you'll hurt yourself!"
…
There were always people who liked to add insult to injury. They shouted at Han Yunxi one after another, wishing they could disturb her and make her lose faster and more miserably!
However, Han Yunxi wasn't affected at all. She didn't move, and her movements didn't slow down or speed up!
Finally, she smashed her fourth jug of wine. It wasn't known if it was a coincidence or if she had calculated the time well, but the moment she smashed her jug, Princess Changping announced, "More than half the time has passed. There's still half an incense stick's worth of time left! Young Master Bei has nine jars, Young Master Nan has eight, Han … "
Princess Changping was so excited that she almost called out her name. Fortunately, she didn't say it out loud. She paused for a moment and deliberately used a very respectful tone to continue, "Imperial Qin Aunt, four jars!"
More than half the time had passed. Han Yunxi had also lost by more than half. She was really too weak!
The alcohol was about to kick in. With only half the time left, she could only drink less and less. How could she catch up?
She was bound to lose!
Just when everyone thought that Han Yunxi would anxiously pick up her fifth jug of wine, she unexpectedly didn't do so. Instead, she stood up with a calm expression.
It was this pause that allowed everyone to clearly see her face. It was white with a hint of red. Her eyes were slightly blurred. It had to be said that under her white clothes, she was especially charming.
However, what everyone was more concerned about was, what happened to her?
Why did she stop? Was she not going to continue? Was she drunk? Or was she going to admit defeat?
As Han Yunxi steadied herself, the entire crowd quieted down. No matter what happened to this woman, she was bound to lose. Everyone was nervously waiting for the most exciting moment to arrive!
However! Who knew that Han Yunxi would faintly smile. She actually held the jug with both hands and tilted her head up so that the jug was directly in front of her mouth. She quickly spun the jug, and in a moment, the wine gushed out like a fountain, pouring into her mouth.
Heavens, the speed at which the wine flowed out was even faster than the North and South Lords. Han Yunxi's mouth never closed, and her throat kept moving.
How could this be?
Not long later, the jug was emptied. Han Yunxi elegantly threw it away and picked up the sixth jug. Using the same method, her hands quickly spun the jug. The opening of the jug was very small, but it was like a faucet opened to its maximum capacity. The wine flowed out very smoothly.
Han Yunxi's mouth opened wide. Drink! Drink! Drink!
With a "bang", the sixth jug broke and the seventh jug was picked up.
At this moment, something happened to North and South Lords. Without any warning, their speed suddenly slowed down. South Lord even stopped for a moment to adjust himself before forcefully drinking the wine in his mouth.
At this moment, North Lord was drinking the ninth jug, South Lord was drinking the eighth jug, and Han Yunxi …
Heavens, she had finished the seventh jug and was picking up the eighth jug!
What exactly was going on?
Everyone stared in shock, as if the person in front of them wasn't Han Yunxi, but someone else.
Actually, Han Yunxi was just using a little trick to make use of the laws of physics.
At the beginning, if she wildly drank, it would definitely cause her stomach to bloat to its limit. Not to mention the strength of the wine, in the end, her stomach would definitely be the first to be unable to take it. Once her stomach couldn't take it, no matter how good her alcohol tolerance was, she wouldn't be able to drink anymore.
Hence, she chose a moderate speed at the beginning to allow her stomach to slowly get used to it. Gradually, it would expand in preparation for the later stages.
When her stomach slowly expanded and started to get used to the large amount of water, she stood up and spun the jug to pour the wine.
Don't underestimate this "spinning" action. This spinning action was the key to speeding up the flow of the wine. The principle was the same as flushing a toilet. Once it spun at a high speed, the wine in the jug would form a vortex and flow out of the jug at the fastest speed.
"Bang!"
Han Yunxi's eighth jug was violently smashed. This loud sound attracted the North and South Lords' attention. Actually, they had ignored Han Yunxi just now and didn't know which jug she was drinking.
Intuition told them that this woman had smashed several jugs in succession.
In the crowd, someone shouted, "Esteemed Princess Consort, this is the eighth jug!"
The eighth jug?!
Heavens, the North and South Lords were frightened. Their faces turned ashen. How was this possible?
"Are you sure?" The North Lord looked towards Princess Changping.
Princess Changping had been counting the jugs. Although she didn't believe it, she still nodded. "I'm sure."
This time, the North and South Lords were anxious. They both raised their heads to continue drinking. Unfortunately, it was too late.
At this moment, their stomachs were so full that they were about to explode. They couldn't drink any more. After forcing themselves to swallow a mouthful, they immediately vomited. The North Lord was fine. He only staggered a few steps and looked drunk. However, the South Lord couldn't take it anymore. He lay on the side and vomited non-stop, his body paralyzed.
The South Lord was out! He lost!
Seeing this, the North Lord didn't dare to drink again. He could only watch as Han Yunxi lifted the ninth jug high above her head and spun it backwards.
Actually, the North and South Lords were both experienced drinkers. How could they not know that their stomachs needed some time to adjust and expand? However, when facing each other, they couldn't care less. The difference in strength wasn't that great. Victory and defeat could very well be decided by a few mouthfuls of wine. Thus, they had to give it their all from the start.
They all thought that Han Yunxi would at most drink three jugs. Who knew that this woman had hidden her strength so well? Moreover, she was so proficient in the art of drinking. Her method of drinking far surpassed theirs!
The wine flowed endlessly into Han Yunxi's mouth. She stood there, tilting her head back to drink. Although she was a woman, she was as unrestrained as a wine immortal. She had an otherworldly temperament, causing people to stare at her in a daze.
"Bang!"
When Han Yunxi smashed the ninth jug, the North Lord, who was beginning to feel tipsy, finally regained his senses. He looked at the incense stick and saw that it was almost burnt to the end. There wasn't much time left.
He touched his stomach and burped. Although the alcohol had kicked in and he was drunk, he wasn't completely unconscious. He still knew what had happened.
Seeing that Han Yunxi had lifted the tenth jug, he clumsily followed suit. However, it wasn't the half-finished ninth jug, but a new one.
The people beside him were about to remind him when the North Lord shouted, "Drink!"
He shouted, "Drink!" However, both his hands were pressed against the jug and he didn't move for a long time.
Seeing this, Han Yunxi heaved a huge sigh of relief!
She held the tenth jug of wine in her hand and didn't drink it. Actually, even though her stomach was bloated, it wasn't much bigger than the North and South Lords'. At this point, she really wanted to vomit but she forced herself to hold it in.
Moreover, the moment she stopped, the effects of the alcohol kicked in. Her head was already spinning and she could not stand properly. She clenched her teeth and tried to clear her head. Everything was normal. She pretended to be disdainful and looked at the Bei Gongzi as if she was waiting for him.
Seeing this, the people around them didn't notice anything strange. However, only Han Yunxi knew how much her stomach was churning.
She told herself, 'Steady, steady, steady!'
The incense stick was reaching its end. She had half a jug more than the North Lord. Once the time was up, she would win!
Suddenly, the North Lord roared and lifted the jug to drink!
Han Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to force herself to continue drinking. However, the North Lord had only taken a few mouthfuls before the entire jug was smashed to pieces. "Bang!" The sound reverberated throughout the entire place.
He lifted his head and heaved a long sigh. Then, he lowered his head and immediately vomited. His situation was similar to the South Lord's. He couldn't stop vomiting once he started vomiting. However, his situation was slightly better than the South Lord's. The alcohol had kicked in, but he wasn't so drunk that he felt weak.
The North Lord had also lost!
At this moment, Han Yunxi took a step back and almost fell over. At the same time, the incense stick had reached its end. Time was up!
