Chapter 309: Interesting

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

There was a common understanding about drinking. Forcing alcohol out using Xuan Energy would be considered impolite behavior. Therefore, warriors usually wouldn’t force the wine out using Xuan Energy or they would just don’t drink.

Lu Li wouldn’t allow himself to do such a thing. Either he left or he would have to wash Jiang Qiling’s feet.

Washing feet?

Lu Li found it easier to accept being killed than to wash a woman’s feet, a slutty lady’s feet no less. He was reluctant to leave when he had just finished one goblet which only meant one day of free cultivation.

He thought about it, made up his mind, picked the goblet out and finished it. He didn’t believe that he would collapse. As long as he didn’t, he could jump down the second floor at any time and Yu Huashen could just carry him back.

Without any pause, he took another one, finished it and continued…

In the time for several blinks, Lu Li had drunk five goblets, and he had finished each one of them very quickly. He wanted to drink as more as possible before he was entirely intoxicated and then he could jump down…

"Eh?"

Jiang Qiling was freaked out. She was not lying. The Bloody Rose was one of the strongest wines in the Central Plains. The most able drinkers Jiang Qiling had ever seen could only drink nine goblets. Lu Li didn’t seem to be somebody that could hold his liquor. Now, he had actually finished six and he hadn’t collapsed yet?

"Bang~"

Lu Li wanted to pour another one but he could not control his limbs. The wine jar smashed on the golden table. Lu Li’s face was red, his neck and his entire body were red as well. He tried hard to open his eyes but failed.

He breathed heavily. He moved his lips, pointed to the wine jar and said, "Wine, give me 10 more!"

Jiang Qiling didn’t move. She shook her head and said, "Little man, you cannot drink any more. You are drunk."

"Wine!"

Lu Li’s voice suddenly grew cold. It was hard to refuse him. He managed to open his eyes which were filled with blood streaks and killing intent. His qi and energy were let out. Jiang Qiling felt that this was not a young man sitting in front of her, but a powerful wild beast.

"Fine. You don’t have to be mean. Let me see how many more you can take."

Jiang Qiling pouted. She stood up to get 10 goblets and filled them up. Then she said with a sneer, "If you can finish all of them, I will allow you to cultivate for 20 days for free."

"Hoo, hoo~"

Lu Li panted. He closed his eyes, lowered his head and his expressions looked kind of fierce. He could still sit up was because of his willpower.

How horrible was his will power?

The demon had attacked his soul for three days and nights, almost breaking him in the process. The three days and nights were like days in hell. He had survived that horror, so how could some alcohol benumb his nerves?

"Hold on. I cannot lose now. I must drink them all!"

Thoughts like this sprang to Lu Li’s mind. His strong willpower was fighting back the drowsiness coming from this soul. His hands were trembling as he grabbed a goblet as fast as lightning and poured the wine into his mouth.

Fast, accurate and powerful!

Drunk people usually couldn’t control their bodies because they were numbed. They would be slowed down as well. Lu Li had surprised Jiang Qiling again by how he finished a goblet so quickly and accurately.

Then the surprise continued—

Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes after some rest. He grabbed another goblet and finished it. This time, he didn’t take any rest before he drank another goblet. Then he leaned against the wall behind him because he couldn’t hold on any longer.

Nine goblets!

Lu Li had finished nine goblets. This was the best Jiang Qiling had ever seen. Also, even if Lu Li was leaning against the wall, he hadn’t collapsed yet. The muscles on his face was twitching. He struggled to sit up.

Lu Li didn’t try to expel the alcohol using Xuan Energy!

Jiang Qiling was sure of that. Lu Li became a bit drunk as soon as he finished the first goblet, which was an indication that Lu Li was not an able drinker. However, he had taken nine goblets of Bloody Rose? Jiang Qiling didn’t understand why Lu Li hadn’t collapsed after drinking so much wine.

"Roar~"

Lu Li left out a muffled noise like a beast. He abruptly sat up and opened his eyes again.

This time, there were more blood streaks in his eyes, which gave him a scarier look. His expressions were twisted. He looked like a wounded beast.

He suddenly grabbed two goblets and poured the wine in. Two, four, six, seven!

That was 16 goblets!

Lu Li had drunk 16 goblets of wine. He smiled and said, "Lady Qi, you said 20 days. Don’t deny. Goodbye~"

Lu Li fumbled on the table to get his Mithral Golem Mask and put it back on. Using the golden table as a support, he stood up.

He stumbled to the outside and even hit on the door. He made quite an effort trying to get the door open. He walked to the guardrails outside and then… he fell to the first floor.

Yu Huashen rushed over, carried Lu Li up and went back to their cabin. Jiang Qiling didn’t leave her cabin. She didn’t come out to see if Lu Li would pass out.

She sat in the cabin for a while before she collected herself from the intimal shock. In the end, she said, "Such powerful willpower…freaky!"

Even warriors such as her grandpa who was at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm couldn’t have tolerated 16 goblets of Bloody Rose without using Xuan Energy to expel alcohol. Lu Li could even talk to her after this. He even put on the mask by himself and found the cabin door.

"I was told that when a man is powerful enough in his will, he can fight against the effects of alcohol and remain sober!"

Jiang Qiling remembered some words told to her by a powerful warrior. She had not been convinced, but now she was. She was a drinker for five years and this was the first time she saw this kind of person.

"He really is a stallion. Interesting, interesting!"

Jiang Qiling thought of the time when she first saw Lu Li on the deck. Lu Li was young and he acted like a playboy, but Jiang Qiling had seen so many men that she could see through his disguise at once.

Lu Li had been through so many sufferings and experienced so many things and killed so many people. He once was an Island Owner and he controlled many warriors. In the end, he even could become the overlord of the Thousand-island Lake or even the leader of the Northern Desert.

What one was like had much to do with past experiences.

A person’s temperament would change along with the changes in status and identities, but the innermost quality could not be concealed. Jiang Qiling could tell at once that Lu Li was an interesting wild horse, but he had proven to be more interesting than she had imagined…

"Interesting, interesting…"

Jiang Qiling murmured while drinking. She would laugh and then shed silent tears. Her hair was in a mess and so was her dress. She looked like an insane woman…
