Chapter 161

After all, she and Hua Xiangxi are together called the two great beauties of the Three Provinces; one oversees the Four Seas Merchant Association, the other oversees Hero Tower.

They have been openly and secretly competing for a long time.

Now, the improved hero alcohol can be called perfect; Hero Tower will surely become even more popular because of it, which means Hua Xiangxi will again suppress her, and she naturally feels somewhat unwilling.

However. Lin Yang said slowly: "She didn't listen to my opinion."

Jiang Yuehuo heard this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This time it's also normal."

That Hua Xiangxi has always been arrogant, stubborn in her views, and never readily listens to others' advice.

All we can say is, her not listening to Master Lin's words is her loss.

Jiang Yuehuo did not moreover slander Hua Xiangxi with this, nor did she beg Lin Yang not to tell Hua Xiangxi the method of improving the hero alcohol.

After all, although they are rivals, they are not mortal enemies.

Moreover, she Jiang Yuehuo disdains doing such things.

Lin Yang didn't take this to heart either.

Jiang Yuehuo then said: "Master Lin, let's not talk about those things; let's keep drinking."

Lin Yang asked: "Are you sure?"

Jiang Yuehuo laughed: "Brother, don't underestimate me."

In the Three Provinces' women's hero alcohol ranking, I am ranked second.

And so far, no one has surpassed me.

Women's hero alcohol ranking? Lin Yang happened to hear something new, so he continued asking: "Then who is first?"

Jiang Yuehuo let out a light sigh: "Who else could it be?"

Naturally, it's the proprietor of Hero Tower, Hua Xiangxi.

Lin Yang nodded; since Hua Xiangxi could brew such high-quality hero alcohol, it's understandable that she has a good capacity for drink.

Since there is a women's hero alcohol ranking, there must also be a men's hero alcohol ranking, right?

Lin Yang asked curiously.

Jiang Yuehuo nodded and said: "There is."

Come, brother, let's finish this bowl; we'll talk while we drink.

After all, alcohol is for drinking, words are for speaking, and goals are to be achieved.

Just right.

There's a bed in this private room; later we'll get Lin Yang drunk and take him down directly.

The two raised their cups again and drank them down in one gulp.

Jiang Yuehuo lives up to being the figure ranked second in the Three Provinces' women's hero alcohol ranking.

After two bowls of the improved hero alcohol went down, she not only showed no signs of drunkenness but instead seemed to have her fighting spirit ignited, her eyes shining ever brighter.

She gently set down her wine bowl, then slowly said: "The first place on the men's hero alcohol ranking is……"

Boom!

Just as she was explaining to Lin Yang the first place on the men's hero alcohol ranking, a violent roar came rolling from the Hero Tower hall like thunder.

Get out!

You come to Hero Tower not to drink alcohol—are you here to watch your mother dance?

The speaker was none other than the Three Provinces' fiercest person, Bei Wang Dao.

Immediately afterward, one saw Bei Wang Dao pick up a blue-clad servant and throw him out like trash.

Afterwards, he plopped down in the servant's originally reserved seat, angrily pounding the table with his fists and shouting at the top of his lungs.

Waiter, quickly bring me a jug of hero alcohol!

Yes, yes, yes. The waiter, his face turning pale with fright, hurriedly bowed and scurried off to prepare.

And some cultivators who had come from other provinces to attend the hero alcohol gathering, seeing Bei Wang Dao demand a jug of hero alcohol as soon as he spoke, couldn't help whispering among themselves.

What's he showing off for? Can he finish a jug of hero alcohol?

After all, they had just tasted this hero alcohol themselves; a small cup already made them feel drunk.

Yet Bei Wang Dao actually wanted a jug, which in their eyes was utterly pretentious.

Those nearby, hearing this, hurriedly lowered their voices to explain: "Keep it down, this Bei Wang Dao is the top-ranked person on the Three Provinces' men's hero alcohol ranking!"

His record is drinking a full five jugs of hero alcohol in one go!

Upon hearing this, the person who had just spoken twitched his mouth; a jug holds about three bowls, so five jugs equal fifteen bowls.

Such drinking capacity is terrifyingly formidable; indeed it's an existence they dare not provoke.

And Bei Wang Dao, precisely because of his astonishing drinking capacity and formidable strength, earned Jiang Yuehuo's favor.

It's a pity the good times didn't last; now that their relationship has broken, Bei Wang Dao has come here to drown his sorrows in drink.

At this moment, an acquaintance of Bei Wang Dao cautiously stepped forward and joked.

"Lord Wang Dao, what exactly is making you so unhappy? Soon it's the drinking contest; you're drinking so much now, aren't you afraid you'll lose your top spot on the Heroes' Liquor men's ranking?"

"Fuck your mother."

"Don't come here to bother me!" Bei Wang Dao bellowed impatiently.

Immediately, he picked up the jug of Heroes' Liquor, tilted his head back with a 'glug-glug-glug', and gulped it down in big mouthfuls.

The liquor flowed freely from the corner of his mouth, soaking his collar, yet he felt utterly displeased, even wondering which pretty boy Jiang Yuehuo had taken a fancy to.

In a corner of the hall, a man carrying a long sword and a man wielding a battle axe likewise gazed at Bei Wang Dao.

They were precisely the pair who had earlier driven away Kong Qing Xiaozi and proclaimed they would challenge Bei Wang Dao.

At that moment, the axe-wielding man, his face full of anger, couldn't help but say: "Big brother, this Bei Wang Dao is just too arrogant—I can't stand it."

"When exactly are you going to make a move?"

The sword-carrying man remained calm, speaking in a light and breezy tone: "No rush, no rush; the fate hasn't arrived yet—when it does, I will act on my own."

The axe-wielding man, anxious, kept gritting his teeth and muttering: "I really don't understand when that fate you speak of will come."

"'Don't get worked up.' The sword-carrying man smiled."

"Thus, although the axe-wielding woman disliked the Northern King's Blade, since the elder brother didn't act, she could do nothing about it."

"In the main hall, everyone harbored ulterior motives; in the private room, however, Lin Yang and Jiang Yuehu were drinking from large bowls and chatting happily."

"Just as they were enjoying their chat, the literary competition segment of the Heroes' Banquet officially kicked off."

"Everyone's eyes were firmly drawn to the high platform that had been erected."

"Huaxiang Xi and Yu Xian'er walked side by side onto the platform."

"The entire venue instantly erupted into a chorus of noise."

"At this moment, Yu Xian'er had changed into a light blue long dress; she stepped lightly onto the platform, like a fragrant orchid blooming in the clear breeze, graceful and confident."

"Huaxiang Xi, graceful and poised, wore a smile, her gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd below, then she spoke slowly."

"'Ladies and gentlemen heroes, welcome to this Heroes' Banquet; at this moment of abundant valor, we are about to begin the events of this banquet.'"

"Her voice was clear and pleasant, each word reaching everyone's ears distinctly."

"'For this banquet, we first launch the literary competition-filled event; after the literary competition ends.'"

"'Miss Yu Xian'er will present a wonderful dance for everyone.'"

"'And after the dance ends, it will be the drinking contest that everyone has eagerly awaited!'"
