Encouraged by his old classmates, Yellow's morale soared as he continued to drink with unhurried ease.
White liquor isn't beer or water; it has a very high alcohol content, and it takes some time to recover. Therefore, with her many years of practical experience, she didn't care about the process, only the final result; because only the person who stands last is the true victor.
With Yellow's side making an impressive show of force, Yifan's brothers weren't about to show weakness either, cheering and shouting encouragement for him!
"Yifan, finish her off! Take down that bitch!"
"Yifan, you can do it, just maintain this rhythm, this pace!"
"Yifan, come on!"
"Yifan, come on!"
...
Although their voices were relatively soft, they didn't affect Yifan's morale in the slightest, mainly thanks to Yifan's other identity.
"Gulp gulp!"
Yifan drank white liquor as if it were water, easily and comfortably, without any discomfort.
Seeing Yifan finish bottle after bottle, Er Dan and the others were dumbfounded, not understanding why Yifan was so badass.
"What the hell! Drinking so much Maotai, doesn't it hurt, doesn't he get drunk?"
"I'm really curious, is what he's drinking actually Maotai liquor?"
On the other side, seeing that Yifan's speed hadn't slowed down, Yellow's old classmates were also dumbstruck, their faces full of disbelief.
"Is...is he even human? How does it look like he's totally unaffected?" someone questioned.
When Yellow could no longer hold on, she would at least put down the bottle to catch her breath before continuing. But Yifan just kept gulping down without a break, completely incredible.
"Come to think of it, is this person the same skinny wretch, Lin the pauper? How does he seem like a different person?"
"Yeah! I think so too. Looking at his physique and appearance, he's completely changed from before. If he put on a sharp suit, he'd definitely be a super hunk!"
"No way! If that's true, didn't we all have blind eyes in the past?" the female classmates said in shock, never expecting Yifan to be the result of the proverbial 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west' transformation.
"What's the use of being handsome? Money is the most important thing. Look at his clothes, coarse and rustic, he must be still the same old pauper."
"That's right, that's right! Love needs bread too, being handsome isn't enough."
...
The drinking competition heightened, and when Yifan had reached his sixth bottle, Yellow was still on her fourth.
At that moment, Yifan put down the bottle, and taunted, "Sister, can you drink a little faster? Didn't you claim to be the booze king? Why so conservative? If you can't drink, just say so, don't waste my time!"
"Are you drinking Maotai liquor?" Yellow put down her bottle and questioned.
Now she felt a bit dizzy, while Yifan was completely fine, nonchalant. This made her doubt whether the liquid Yifan was drinking was really white liquor.
"Oh! Can't beat me and starting to question my drink, huh? That's really freaking hilarious. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone trustworthy by your side to taste it and see if it's Maotai liquor, or you can do it yourself. But I absolutely won't let you touch the bottle," Yifan mocked and scorned relentlessly.
Competing in a drinking match with him, isn't that courting death?
Refusing to believe it, Yellow sent two old classmates who were very good drinkers to taste the liquor Yifan had been drinking.
Yifan poured a bit for them to taste and to verify whether it was indeed Maotai liquor.
"Taste it properly, don't come accusing me falsely later."
The two veteran drinkers took a sip of the liquor Yifan had provided and found that the alcoholic scent was very strong, fiery, indeed the intense Maotai liquor.
"Sister Yellow! He's drinking Maotai liquor!"
"Go and smell the bottles he drank from again, and see if there's a strong scent of alcohol."
Yellow Xiao Ya still didn't believe it because normal people, more or less, were affected by alcohol, whereas Lin Yifan didn't show any sign of being affected at all, which defied science.
Unless Lin Yifan was a god or a robot, it was simply impossible.
Following Yellow Xiao Ya's order, the two old classmates sniffed the empty bottles again and indeed detected the aroma of Maotai liquor.
So they responded, "Sister Yellow, it smells like liquor, Maotai liquor!"
"Impossible! How can this be possible?"
Yellow Xiao Ya's face was filled with disbelief and she found it hard to accept the result.
Afterward, she decided to verify it for herself, to see if what the two old classmates had said was true.
After tasting the liquor and smelling those empty bottles, Yellow Xiao Ya finally believed that Lin Yifan was drinking liquor, not water!
"I refuse to believe it! I am the strongest!"
Upon learning the result, she went insane and ran back to grab a bottle and took a big swig.
"Ha ha! Only the incompetent would accuse their opponents of cheating. You better just admit defeat graciously! That way, you might still save your life." Lin Yifan laughed loudly, letting Yellow Xiao Ya experience the feeling of being ridiculed and looked down upon.
In fact, he was a Cultivator, so it didn't matter to him; but for ordinary people, drinking too much liquor could easily lead to alcohol poisoning and death, so his advice was well-intentioned.
"As long as Yellow Xiao Ya doesn't fall, I will never admit defeat!"
Yellow Xiao Ya was desperate and continued the drinking bout.
"Glug glug!"
Under the provocation of her anger, she quickly finished the fourth bottle of Maotai; without pausing, she continued to reach for the fifth bottle.
"Glug glug!"
After another bottle, she started to feel nauseous and uncomfortable in her stomach.
It would be strange not to feel sick with so much alcohol churning inside her belly.
Seeing Yellow Xiao Ya slumped over the table, dizzy and seeming about to give out, Lin Yifan mocked her again, "Can't handle it anymore? If so, just say it early."
"In my dictionary, the words 'can't handle it' do not exist," slurred Yellow Xiao Ya, extraordinarily unwilling to give in.
She hadn't reached her limit yet; she could still drink more; she was a true booze champion, and she wanted to prove it to everyone!
"Heh heh! You've got spirit, alright! Just don't blame me when you die," Lin Yifan said with full mockery, not taking Yellow Xiao Ya seriously at all.
"Who dies is not certain yet!" Yellow Xiao Ya ignored the warnings and continued to stand up to drink.
However, when she opened the cap of the sixth bottle of Maotai and took a small sip, she couldn't help but throw up.
"Blargh!!"
Suddenly, a foul stench filled the entire private room.
"Sister Yellow! Are you okay? If you can't, stop drinking, it's okay to lose!" The female classmates around her soothed Yellow Xiao Ya's back while advising her.
However, what they did not know was that their good intentions were met with a barrage of insults.
"The hell with 'it's okay,' I refuse to be a loser," snapped Yellow Xiao Ya.
The old classmates around her immediately fell silent, no longer offering advice, lest they receive another round of nasty swearing.
