Chapter 1289: All 1287 - s, three bottles of white liquor
"Jin Xin, your boyfriend is really impressive. In what way is he impressive?"
"Is he some kind of cultivator or something?"
"Doesn’t seem like much, though?"
...
None of them could really tell what made Lei Nan different from an ordinary person. He didn’t look particularly special, so what was it that made Jin Xin so proud?
"Ah Nan, look, my friends don’t believe you’re that impressive. Can you show them something? Pretty please?" Seeing her friends doubting her words, Jin Xin immediately started acting coquettish toward Lei Nan, playfully shaking his arm to persuade him to demonstrate something extraordinary for her friends.
"I can’t... the Clan Leader specifically told me not to display anything outside." Hearing the women expressing their skepticism, Lei Nan immediately hesitated. Their clan had warned him before that while the Lei Family could summon wind and call rain over in Europe, they weren’t particularly dominant here in the country. They had to tread carefully, so he really didn’t want to casually showcase his abilities.
Jin Xin was initially confident that Lei Nan wouldn’t refuse, but his unexpected rejection made her feel awkward. Immediately, she grabbed Lei Nan’s hand again and pleaded, "Ah Nan, we’re here in the country now. What you do here, Europe won’t find out, right? Come on, help me out. Otherwise, my girlfriends won’t believe what I say! You wouldn’t want your girlfriend to lose face in front of her friends, right? Please? You know you love me!"
To persuade Lei Nan to perform something unique to cultivators, Jin Xin pulled out all the stops, acting pitiful and clinging to him relentlessly. Out of options, Lei Nan scanned the marble tabletop in front of him. Channeling his Gang Qi through his fingers, he pressed them against the marble tabletop.
"Creak... creak..."
Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound, everyone watched as Lei Nan’s finger carved a circular groove several millimeters deep into the marble tabletop. The women who had been speaking earlier were immediately stunned, frozen like wooden dolls. They couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed—it was beyond comprehension!
But what they didn’t anticipate was that the truly impressive part was yet to come. Lei Nan’s hand ran over the marble tabletop again, smoothing out the circular groove he had just carved. If the groove’s location hadn’t been slightly lower than the surrounding area, no one would have guessed that it had been carved by someone’s finger...
"Oh my god, Jin Xin, how did your boyfriend do that?"
"So this is what a cultivator is like? That’s incredible!"
"Your boyfriend is amazing!"
...
The women couldn’t stop exclaiming in awe; Lei Nan had completely floored them. They thought to themselves that Jin Xin’s boyfriend was truly extraordinary. The ability to carve marble with his fingers—without witnessing it firsthand, no one would have believed it to be true.
Leng Mei watched Lei Nan’s performance in disbelief. This was her first time seeing a cultivator use Gang Qi for something so pointless, and she almost couldn’t help laughing. She thought Jin Xin was truly one of a kind—to think this qualified as an impressive cultivator—it was absolutely ridiculous!
"You’ve all seen it now, huh? My boyfriend is indeed impressive. Now you know what a cultivator is!" Jin Xin proudly declared, thrilled by her friends’ astonished expressions. Having a boyfriend like Lei Nan couldn’t make her any happier!
"Fine, you’ve got good luck; okay, satisfied now?"
"Of course! Too bad you’re all married; otherwise, I could introduce someone to you."
"So this is what cultivators are like, huh? They’re kind of like superheroes, truly impressive!"
"They’re beyond anything ordinary people can imagine."
...
Shortly afterward, the women surrounded Jin Xin, excitedly chatting about cultivators. Their enthusiasm was palpable, but Leng Mei stood out as an exception. Motionless in her seat, she didn’t say a word, clearly unwilling to engage in meaningless debates. She felt there was no point in arguing with such people.
After a few casual exchanges, Lei Nan suddenly received a phone call. He greeted the women briefly before stepping outside to answer it. With her boyfriend out of the room, Jin Xin loosened up even further, sharing stories with the women about her time abroad. She kept hinting that everything was better overseas. Leng Mei remained silent on the side, waiting for a few more minutes before planning to leave.
Just then, someone unexpectedly walked into the room, catching Jin Xin off guard. She wondered who this person was—had they entered the wrong room? But soon she saw the newcomer approaching Leng Mei, and it clicked that this must be Lin Feng.
"Leng Mei, is this your boyfriend Lin Feng?" Jin Xin asked with a smile, wanting to confirm Lin Feng’s identity.
"Yes!" Seeing Lin Feng arrive, Leng Mei’s previously icy demeanor melted into a smile. Distracted, she replied curtly before asking Lin Feng directly, "I didn’t tell you to come here. How did you find me?"
Leng Mei was genuinely puzzled. She hadn’t mentioned the gathering to Lin Feng, so how had he managed to locate her here?
"Wan’er told me. So, is it dull here? If it’s boring, let’s leave." Lin Feng, having noticed Leng Mei’s expression upon entering, could tell she wasn’t enjoying herself. He wasted no time in asking directly, wanting to confirm if she wanted to leave together.
Hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion, Leng Mei shook her head. Although she didn’t say a word, her meaning was clear—she was indeed unhappy here and had been looking for an opportunity to leave. Since Lin Feng had arrived, it was the perfect chance for them to leave together.
Seeing that Lin Feng was about to take Leng Mei away, Jin Xin immediately protested.
"Lin Feng, you just got here—how can you leave already? And taking our beautiful Leng Mei? No way. I came back home only recently. Let’s sit down and chat together for a bit. My boyfriend will be back soon, and I’ll introduce him to you. He’s a genuine cultivator, a true expert!"
Jin Xin spoke casually, clearly unwilling to let Lin Feng and Leng Mei leave so soon. Her boyfriend hadn’t returned yet, and she had heard rumors about Lin Feng being fairly capable. She figured it was a good opportunity to introduce Lin Feng to Lei Nan so Lei Nan could flaunt his skills a bit.
Lin Feng immediately understood Jin Xin’s intentions when she spoke. After mulling it over briefly, he decided to stay and see how things unfolded.
"Alright, then let’s stay for a bit." After saying this, Lin Feng gave Leng Mei a subtle look. Leng Mei instantly understood his meaning and quietly returned to her seat alongside Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, let me tell you, our beautiful but reserved Leng Mei is such a good person. Even though she’s the oldest among us in the compound and has such a frosty personality, now that you’re together, you’ve got to treat her well. Don’t let our beautiful Leng Mei be mistreated, alright?" Jin Xin addressed Lin Feng earnestly, her words heartfelt. Despite her boastful attitude today, she genuinely hoped Leng Mei would find happiness.
"Of course." Lin Feng’s tone softened upon hearing Jin Xin’s sincerity. It was clear to him that while Jin Xin was flamboyant, she carried no ill intentions.
"Lin Feng, you’re running late. Since you’re here now, it’s only fair you drink. Ladies, don’t you agree?" Jin Xin looked over at Lin Feng and began nudging him to drink. Since Lin Feng had arrived late, it was customary to have a drink. Besides, she wanted to test Lin Feng’s drinking capacity and see if her boyfriend Lei Nan could outshine him.
"Absolutely! Lin Feng, you must drink!"
"Lin Feng, this drink is mandatory!"
...
The women chimed in cheerily, believing Lin Feng’s tardiness warranted some "punishment" by way of drinking. They were also curious to gauge Lin Feng’s age—he looked strikingly young, seemingly under 20. They found it baffling that Leng Mei, of all people, would pair up with someone so youthful. Could he even provide security?
Hearing their remarks, Lin Feng wasn’t fazed. He casually replied, "Is this about drinking as punishment? No problem, I’ll drink. You tell me—how much do I need to drink?"
Lin Feng’s nonchalant response was so magnanimous that the women couldn’t hold back their smiles. But determining how much he should drink wasn’t easy, so they all turned to Jin Xin for a decision. After all, Jin Xin had started it, so it was her call.
"That depends on your mood. Drink as much as you like—it’s just about the gesture." Jin Xin said with a laugh. She didn’t insist on a fixed amount, wanting to keep the mood light and avoid upsetting Leng Mei, which could dampen everyone’s fun.
Lin Feng glanced at Leng Mei and offered a faint smile. Seeing his expression, Leng Mei subtly returned the smile. Then, Lin Feng turned to Jin Xin and said, "If that’s the case, I don’t think there’s enough alcohol here. What do you propose?"
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Jin Xin and the other women turned to him, stunned. Lin Feng’s words struck them as pure bravado. The table had three bottles of white liquor on it—more than enough for most people. Many couldn’t even finish a single bottle, yet Lin Feng claimed the alcohol wasn’t sufficient? How was that possible?
"Three bottles of white liquor not enough?" Jin Xin finally couldn’t hold back and asked Lin Feng directly. Her tone carried a hint of mockery, convinced he was exaggerating. She couldn’t take it seriously—no one could down three bottles of white liquor in one sitting; it was simply impossible.
Lin Feng didn’t bother responding further. He knew the women wouldn’t believe him until they saw it for themselves. He stood up, grabbed the three bottles of white liquor, opened each one, and then, under their watchful eyes, began pouring the first bottle down his throat as if it were water.
The first bottle went down quickly. Jin Xin and the other women were utterly dumbfounded—they hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be serious.
But before they could process the absurdity of it, Lin Feng picked up the second bottle and repeated the same action. By the time he finished the second bottle, he reached for the third...
