Chapter 178: Beiwang Dao Defends Dignity

Just as Beiwang Dao was still dazed in his speculation that he himself had been cuckolded.

Hua Xiangxi, however, lifted her gaze toward the private room where Lin Yang was.

A flash of complex emotion crossed her eyes, and she immediately strode toward that private room.

Seeing this, Beiwang Dao was completely stunned.

He stood frozen in place.

He shouted wildly in his heart: 'I've been fucking cuckolded!'

However, the people around were all attracted by this series of events, and no one paid him any heed.

Yu Xian'er saw Hua Xiangxi heading toward Lin Yang's private room and quickly followed.

Beiwang Dao stared at Yu Xian'er's back, and was stunned again.

His inner anger and doubt reached their peak.

He again roared in his heart: 'I've been fucking cuckolded!'

'Can't you consider my feelings and not go to his place?'

Only the noisy clamor of the teahouse responded to him, and still no one cared about his emotions.

'You bastard, I'll kill you!'

Beiwang Dao angrily let out a roar toward Lin Yang's private room.

Afterward, he too, like a lit gunpowder keg, strode after them.

After all, he and Jiang Yuehuo had mutual sympathy, and they had almost reached the point of kissing.

But now, Jiang Yuehuo is drinking with other men, and even calls someone 'young master brother.'

Furthermore, she wants to sever ties with him over this—what could be more intolerable?

At this moment, however, the atmosphere in the private room where Lin Yang was was completely different.

Lin Yang sat calmly in the seat of honor, his expression leisurely, fully displaying composure.

The Qingfeng War Emperor sat beside him, smiling faintly, quite pleased.

Jiang Yuehuo, meanwhile, flitted about lightly, pouring drinks for everyone.

Every gesture exuded charm, and the three of them were happily harmonious.

Just then.

'Bang!'

The private room door was flung open violently, and Hua Xiangxi strode in.

Upon entering, she was immediately drawn by the aroma of the improved Heroic Liquor filling the air.

She paused slightly, her gaze quickly sweeping over the wine on the table.

Then she looked at Lin Yang, eyes full of anticipation, and asked, 'Young master, may I have a cup of this liquor?'

Lin Yang unhurriedly set down his wine cup, his movements graceful, he slightly raised his brow and softly said, 'Yuehuo, fill the wine.'

Jiang Yuehuo's lips curled into a charming smile; she secretly reckoned that with another drinker, if she could get Lin Yang drunk on the spot, her plan would be all the more assured.

Thinking thus, she promptly filled a cup with practiced ease, her motion light and fluid, then proactively handed the cup to Hua Xiangxi.

After glancing at Jiang Yuehuo, Hua Xiangxi felt a faint, barely perceptible contempt flicker deep in her eyes.

In her view, as the president of the Four Seas Merchant Association, to lower herself like this was truly a self‑demotion of status.

However, her purpose in coming was to sample this improved Heroic Liquor and uncover its secrets.

She therefore temporarily set aside her thoughts and reached out to take the cup.

She first gave it a light sniff.

Instantly.

A rich, unique fragrance curled around her nostrils, a faint gleam sparkled in her eyes, full of surprise.

Immediately after.

She took a light sip; the wonderful taste burst across her taste buds, and the gleam in her eyes grew even brighter.

'This liquor…' she murmured, then looked again at the liquor in the bowl.

She then tilted her head back and drained the entire cup in one gulp.

As the improved Heroic Liquor slid down her throat, Hua Xiangxi felt only a refreshing sensation reaching deep into her throat, as if a clear spring were flowing through.

Next came a feeling of exhilarating release, like a waterfall plunging three thousand feet straight down.

It was grand and mighty, yet made her body and mind delightfully pleased.

Then afterward.

That liquor aroma slowly diffused through her body, like a winding stream, leaving wonderful traces in every corner.

Her whole being was immersed in an ultimate enjoyment.

One word: beautiful!

Two words: extremely beautiful!

Hua Xiangxi sincerely praised it, and the luster in her eyes grew ever more brilliant.

Yu Xian'er stepped forward, a gentle smile on her face, and said, 'Sister Hua, I didn't lie to you, did I? This liquor is truly flawless.'

Hearing this, Hua Xiangxi saw a look of shame gradually appear on Lin Yang's face, lowered her head, and said, 'Young master, I'm truly sorry; I've offended you before.'

Recalling her former arrogance and contempt for others, she was filled with regret.

At this moment, having witnessed Lin Yang's improved Heroic Liquor, she deeply realized how gravely she had erred, her heart uneasy, not knowing whether Lin Yang would bear a grudge.

Lin Yang lightly waved his hand, his expression gentle, and said, 'No problem, have a seat, would you like two cups?'

Hua Xiangxi quickly nodded, respectfully saying, 'As per your request, Young master, I dare not disobey.'

Lin Yang smiled, then waved his hand broadly and said, 'Yuehuo, fill the wine.'

Jiang Yuehuo's lips curled up as she sweetly replied, "All right, young master."

"Ah!"

Just then, an angry roar suddenly rang out.

Bei Wang Dao, who had just reached the door, heard Jiang Yuehuo's "young master" and his anger instantly ignited.

He could no longer suppress it.

He shoved the door open with force.

"Bang!"

The door slammed heavily against the wall.

His face flushed with anger as he bellowed, "Yuehuo Baobei, who is he?"

Bei Wang Dao's sudden entrance left everyone in the private room stunned.

Qingfeng War Emperor, Yu Xian'er, and Hua Xiangxi all turned to look at him, their eyes filled with surprise.

Only Jiang Yuehuo remained calm and composed.

Her expression was tranquil and unhurried, and she continued to pour wine at a leisurely pace.

She skillfully filled a cup, her movements graceful, and handed it to Hua Xiangxi, saying softly, "Flower shopkeeper, your wine is ready."

Lin Yang witnessed this scene, and he silently pondered.

This person, facing such a sudden situation, could remain so composed and unflappable—truly no ordinary individual, which made them quite interesting.

Bei Wang Dao's eyes widened as he glared fixedly at Jiang Yuehuo, his anger nearly bursting forth as he roared, "Yuehuo, just who are these two dogs?"

Although he had charged in aggressively, upon seeing the two men seated in the private room he momentarily couldn't grasp the situation, and his target was unclear.

Qingfeng War Emperor had been leisurely enjoying his drink, but Bei Wang Dao's remark about "dogs" instantly ruined his mood.

She was displeased; he turned to Jiang Yuehuo and asked with a hint of questioning, "Your friend?"

Jiang Yuehuo still wore her signature charming smile, speaking unhurriedly.

"Qingfeng War Emperor, I will handle this."

Having said that, she turned her gaze to Bei Wang Dao, about to speak, but he cut her off rudely.

"Yuehuo, just who is this arrogant guy who thinks he's all that?"

Bei Wang Dao's voice was filled with anger and resentment.

Jiang Yuehuo's face darkened; she snorted coldly and said, "Bei Wang Dao, I warn you—keep your mouth clean!"

"This person is someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend!"

Jiang Yuehuo knew well that, as a great emperor of a clan, Qingfeng War Emperor was not someone Bei Wang Dao could casually offend.

Bei Wang Dao, however, seemed to have his judgment clouded by anger, laughing wildly as he said, "I can't afford to offend?"

"Hahaha, in these three provinces, there's no one I, Bei Wang Dao, cannot offend—"

"He hadn't finished speaking."
