Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 756 - 26 Carnivorous Zhou Hongyu
Huofeng Team arrived above Jinling Prefecture by Sword Control, and Zhang Huaide made a call,
"Captain Yan, we’ve reached the address you sent."
"Good," Yan Yu responded, "look down and see if there is a rooftop with a red banner on top."
"I see something like that," Zhang Huaide carefully confirmed, "the words on it are... ’Welcome Huofeng Team for guidance...’ "
Everyone was somewhat speechless and hurriedly descended by controlling their sword light to the rooftop, intending to quickly remove the banner to avoid embarrassment if someone were to post it online.
Below the rooftop was a restaurant, and the owner had already reserved a private room. After everyone took their seats, they discovered a hotpot in the center of the table, apparently, the Zhenhai Team was well aware of the Huofeng Team’s preferences for gatherings.
Seeing Tang Xiaolian looking immensely pleased with herself, everyone got the hint.
"Want to drink?" Qin Meng picked up the menu and asked. fгeewebnovёl.com
"No drinking," Yan Yu hastily said.
Having been lectured by Tang Xiaolian, the Zhenhai Team had finally come to understand the drinking culture of the Huofeng Team. Their own team consisted of tender and frail girls, how could they compete in drinking with a group of tough drinkers opposite them?
"Yes, drink," Zhou Hongyu said.
"Really no," Yan Yu insisted.
"Then you drink for them," Zhou Hongyu was stubborn.
With a silent pause, Yan Yu glanced at his own girls, only to find them all smiling mischievously at him.
Damn, a bunch of traitors!
Cultivators drinking wouldn’t harm their bodies; even if they couldn’t digest the alcohol, at worst they would just feel dizzy. Thus, the girls were quite willing to let their captain face the challenge.
"Fine!" Yan Yu gritted his teeth, "but I have a condition: however much I drink, you must drink the same amount!"
"No way!" Hou Qing chimed in from the side, "Captain Yan, we’ve come from afar to assist and spar, yet you refuse to drink with our whole team, and even pull our Captain Zhou into this, that’s not reasonable!"
"That’s the understanding between team captains!" Yan Yu declared righteously, "You’re not a captain, you don’t understand!"
With the weight of the captainship pressing down, Hou Qing didn’t know how to respond. After all, if he verbally opposed this absurd logic, he would seem to be undermining the captain’s authority, affecting Zhou Hongyu as well; thus, he could only look helplessly at Vice-Captain Zhang Huaide for support.
Zhang Huaide looked at Zhou Hongyu, who unhesitatingly said:
"Fine, I’ll match you drink for drink! And no using True Yuan to digest the alcohol!"
These two were determined to go down together... but the grievances between Captain Zhou and Captain Yan had history, tracing back to the four academies exchange and the Shuanggui Mountain simulation battle, so everyone wasn’t too surprised.
People started toasting each other as they ate and drank.
The Huofeng Team toasted the girls, who responded by substituting tea for wine, and Yan Yu drank on their behalf — and each time Yan Yu took a drink, Zhou Hongyu followed suit, boldly and briskly, not to be outdone.
The girls reciprocated the toasts, but quickly realized that if they toasted anyone else, the individual would drink themselves, but if they toasted Captain Zhou, their captain also had to drink.
Alright, let’s bully the captain then!
Tang Xiaolian noticed what was happening and began aggressively toasting Zhou Hongyu. Zhou Hongyu accepted without refusal, not saying much, drinking as toasted, slowly getting dizzy and shaking her head to try to stay clear.
Yan Yu felt some inner turmoil, thinking, why do you keep trying to go down with me, even though you’re in love with me?
But in this world’s strongest dictionary, there was no word for ’surrender,’ so if Zhou Hongyu wanted to play a game of who would fall first, he could only comply to the end.
When Zhou Hongyu finally couldn’t hold on and collapsed, Yan Yu stood up with his drink and said lightly,
"A girl drinking so much, what does that look like, a joke."
He walked away steadily, exuding an air of "another victory for me today." Su Yunjin, worried, got up to check on his condition, then came back after a short while, shaking her head at the girls, signaling there was no need to worry.
"How is he?" Chen Lingyun inquired in a low voice, "Did he go to the bathroom to throw up?"
Su Yunjin just smiled without speaking.
After Captain Yan left and Captain Zhou collapsed, the remaining food on the table was also mysteriously cleared, so everyone gradually stood up to leave.
Tang Xiaolian, supporting the drunk Zhou Hongyu, went with other teammates to the booked hotel, then changed Zhou Hongyu’s clothes in her room, gave her some water, and tucked her into bed.
After doing all that, she returned to her room, suddenly feeling a bit down.
I really want to go have a girls’ night with Yun Jin and the others!
It’s not that the Huofeng Team is bad, but there are some topics that are awkward to discuss with guys. And within the team, the only female, Zhou Hongyu, was an aloof ice queen who didn’t like to interact, which made Tang Xiaolian miss the warm and intimate moments with her good girlfriends in the Zhenhai Team.
Right! I could just sneak out!
This girl was quite proactive; otherwise, she wouldn’t have insisted on following Yan Yu into the Mysterious Realm. Quickly, she dressed, locked her room door from inside, hung a ’Do Not Disturb’ sign outside, pretentiously sent a "So tired, heading to sleep" smoke screen message in the team group, and then left the room through the wall.
She flew back to the Zhenhai Team’s villa by Sword Control, landing in the backyard and knocking on the glass door of the living room.
Su Yunjin was watering the plants, startled by the girl outside, came to open the door:
"Xiao Lian, what brings you here?"
