Chapter 1824: Chapter 1844 Deliberately Giving Way? _1

This time, even without the command from the Ancestral Dragon, the handmaid standing next to Lin Chen had already filled his cup.

In the meantime, Ao Yanjiang, who had kept his eyes shut and stayed silent, opened his eyes, glanced at Lin Chen on his opposite, and then looked at the handmaid by his side.

"More wine, please!"

Lin Chen turned his head, glanced around, and slightly laughed, "The wine is good, but it seems a bit too intoxicating. Many have gone under."

Ao Yanjiang spoke calmly, "Special Envoy Lin, drinking alone could ultimately be uninteresting. Allow me to keep you company."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I had heard of the formidable reputation of the Black Dragon Prince before. Now that we have met, you truly are remarkable. Come, let’s drink a toast together and become friends!"

Ao Yanjiang had not certainly considered Lin Chen much previously. After all, Lin Chen was merely a practitioner of the True Immortal Realm. The reason he could sit here was due to his representation of the Immortal Palace, not because of his own merits.

Three cups of wine into the contest, Lin Chen had been drinking rapidly and fast, as well as recovering amazingly quick from his drunken state. The Dragon Tribe elites, who had been flaunting their stamina, were now all knocked out drunk. Not a single one had sobered up, only Lin Chen looked radiant and showed no signs of intoxication.

Having personally experienced the potency of the Immortal Wine, Ao Yanjiang had developed a keen interest in Lin Chen.

This guy is something else!

No wonder he managed to become the envoy of Immortal Palace while not being so powerful, instead representing the Immortal Palace in the world.

"Very well, I accept your friendship, please!"

Lin Chen and Ao Yanjiang raised their glasses together and drank their fourth cups of wine at the same time.

As expected, Lin Chen fell over unconscious again, while Ao Yanjiang, on the other hand, sat with a flushed face, keeping his eyes closed, not uttering a word.

Half an hour later, Lin Chen awakened again, his face was even redder than before, and there was a hint of haze in his eyes.

The sight was seen by all of the Dragon Tribe, their hearts filled with hope instantly.

With every cup this man drank, his drunkenness seemed to intensify. It was clear that he couldn’t fully recover from the alcohol. In other words, his alcohol tolerance was limited and he wouldn’t be able to keep drinking like this forever!

Ao Yanjiang opened his eyes at the same time, looking challengingly across at Lin Chen.

He could already feel the effects of the alcohol.

He wanted to absorb and digest it a little longer, but the opponent had already recovered. If he remained silent, wouldn’t that mean admitting defeat?

The two locked eyes and, in a tacit understanding, lifted their wine glasses simultaneously.

The fifth cup!

Drunk, then awake.

In the shocked and expectant gazes of everyone, the two silently challenged each other.

Whenever Lin Chen woke up, Ao Yanjiang would open his eyes from his meditation, too. Then, the two would continue drinking the next cup, thus entering a new cycle.

The Ancestral Dragon did not prevent them, just smiling and watching.

The sixth cup!

The seventh cup!

The eighth cup!

The ninth cup!

With each cup, the color on Lin Chen’s face deepened another bit, and the haziness in his eyes increased slightly.

Ao Yanjiang’s condition wasn’t any better than Lin Chen’s. His entire face was so red it seemed like it was about to bleed, and the confusion in his eyes was evident to everyone. Everyone understood vaguely that Ao Yanjiang was merely hanging on now!

If it weren’t for Lin Chen, he’d probably be drunk by now.

Is he going to lose?

So many members of the Dragon Tribe couldn’t even cope with one True Immortal, which was, quite frankly, humiliating.

Lin Chen woke up again, shook his head, and rubbed his face with his hand.

On the opposite side, Ao Yanjiang opened his eyes, but the drunkenness in his entire body was already remarkably clear. His body was also slightly swaying.

The handmaid by the side wanted to step forward and pour the wine for Lin Chen, but Lin Chen unexpectedly covered the mouth of the cup with his hand, then raised his head, and laughed towards the Ancestral Dragon above the Main Hall, "Senior, many thanks for the wine today, which allowed me to have a hearty drink. Now, the fun has waned, and I fear I may get drunk if I keep drinking."

After a pause, Lin Chen turned his head to look at Ao Yanjiang, whose expression was somewhat stunned, and smiled, "Brother Ao, I am no longer able to hold my liquor. I’m afraid I can’t accompany you in drinking further. How about we find another day and another place, and have another good drink then?"

Ao Yanjiang observed Lin Chen on the opposite side, who had a slightly drunken look, but his eyes were still clear, and his eyes suddenly became somewhat complicated.

How could he not know that Lin Chen was deliberately ease up!

Can’t hold his liquor?

Even if he really couldn’t hold his liquor, he should be able to drink a few more cups and get totally knocked out, right?

He was saving his face, and that of the Dragon Tribe.

Ao Yanjiang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Thank you, Brother Lin. I actually couldn’t drink anymore a long time ago. I have just been forcing myself. If I really drank one or two more cups, I would have collapsed by now."

Ao Yanjiang chose to be honest. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see what was happening. It would not make sense to hide it or deny it, and that wasn’t his style either.

By saying this, he was openly acknowledging that he recognized Lin Chen’s gesture was to give him face, and that he had accepted this favor.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’m just good at sobering up quickly, it’s nothing to brag about."

The Ancestral Dragon on the high stage laughed heartily, "Indeed, the youth are to be truly feared. In the past, no one has ever drunk so much of my wine and managed to remain sober. Special Envoy Lin, your way of handling alcohol is truly remarkable."

Lin Chen laughed, "The main point is the purity of Immortal Wine. As long as all the medicinal power in the Immortal Wine is absorbed and transformed, one will naturally awaken..."
