Chapter 0065 – One cup after another
"Here's to Wanjun. After all, you were her ex-boyfriend, and now she's with me. I've taken the love of a gentleman, so I should drink another." Zhu Bajie raised his glass, challenging Jiang Feng once more.
Zhu Bajie was clearly trying to humiliate Jiang Feng, even bringing up Xiao Wanjun.
Anyone who's had a girlfriend knows that the most painful and unforgettable thing for a man is this kind of situation.
Now, Zhu Bajie was saying it in front of the whole class, giving Jiang Feng no face at all. It was even worse than insulting his father.
"Drinking another is no problem, but not for Xiao Wanjun. It's to thank you for accepting her. You took what I left behind, which shows your magnanimity and friendship. This drink should be my toast to you." Jiang Feng said, downing his drink in one gulp.
Everyone fell silent. Jiang Feng's words were a direct slap in Zhu Bajie's face, and a harsh one at that.
Everyone understood Jiang Feng's meaning clearly: he was saying Zhu Bajie was picking up his leftovers and treating them like treasures.
Zhu Bajie's face turned red with anger. He slammed his fist on the table, on the verge of losing control.
But Jiang Feng just smiled slightly, waiting for Zhu Bajie's next move.
Zhu Bajie suppressed his anger, knowing Jiang Feng was deliberately provoking him. He had to hold back; otherwise, he'd fall into Jiang Feng's trap.
"Jiang Feng, stop talking nonsense. Although we were together, you only held my hand. You never touched my body. My body belongs entirely to Brother Jie. How can you compare to him? Even if Brother Jie plays with me ten times a day, I wouldn't let you touch me once." Xiao Wanjun shouted.
Xiao Wanjun had no bottom line this time, saying whatever came to mind, without any regard for her dignity.
A woman who can say such things is essentially labeling herself as a "loose woman."
But it was all worth it to see Jiang Feng humiliated. She was willing to do anything.
Jiang Feng shook his head slightly, ignoring her, and turned to Zhu Bajie. "I've had my drink. Your turn."
Zhu Bajie sneered and downed his drink.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?" Xiao Wanjun stood up abruptly, pointing at Jiang Feng and shouting.
Everyone turned to look at Jiang Feng, curious to see how he would respond this time.
Xiao Wanjun was making a scene.
But Jiang Feng ignored her, frowning at Zhu Bajie instead. "Class monitor, with your abilities, can't you control your woman? Shouting in public like this is disgraceful. Don't you feel it undermines your status? I'm embarrassed for you."
Zhu Bajie was already furious from Jiang Feng's earlier insult. Now, Xiao Wanjun was making things worse. It was intolerable.
And now Jiang Feng was leading him by the nose, making him even angrier.
Slap!
Zhu Bajie backhanded Xiao Wanjun across the face, yelling, "Shut up! If you dare speak nonsense again, I'll slap your face off. You're a woman; this is no place for you to speak. Sit down and behave."
Gasp!
Xiao Wanjun was stunned, and so was everyone else.
Jiang Feng's few words had made Zhu Bajie slap Xiao Wanjun. It was unbelievable.
This showed that Zhu Bajie was a severe chauvinist, caring for no one but himself.
Being his woman was a tragic fate.
Everyone could sense Xiao Wanjun's extreme sadness. She had left Jiang Feng for Zhu Bajie, but now Jiang Feng was rising like a new star, strong and confident, with a promising future, while Zhu Bajie seemed to be falling behind.
Such dramatic changes must have made Xiao Wanjun deeply regretful.
She thought she had traded a stone for a gem, but instead, she had thrown away the gem and picked up a stone.
Fate plays cruel tricks! It's sad, but not worthy of sympathy.
One word describes her: deserved!
"Haha, alright, no need to get angry over a woman. Come on, let's drink to that slap." Jiang Feng raised his glass to Zhu Bajie.
Zhu Bajie hesitated but agreed, raising his glass.
He didn't realize that Jiang Feng was leading him by the nose.
But he still had some awareness. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He glanced at Xiao Wanjun, wanting to apologize but feeling too embarrassed. He had already hit her; how could he apologize now? He wouldn't.
"Sorry, everyone, for the scene just now. Let's continue." Zhu Bajie said, "Wanjun, have a drink and apologize to everyone."
Xiao Wanjun dared not refuse, knowing Zhu Bajie's temper well.
"Alright, I apologize to everyone." Xiao Wanjun forced a smile.
Everyone felt sorry for her, thinking she wasn't worth it.
But for money, one must endure some hardship.
It was said that Zhu Bajie had already paid to rebuild Xiao Wanjun's family house, so she had gained something, not suffering in vain.
Honestly, Jiang Feng could provide the same now.
He had won sixty thousand in cash in the last martial arts competition, enough to build a house.
Seeing the situation settle down, Zhu Bajie signaled Jiang Yang with a look.
Jiang Yang nodded slightly, understanding.
Jiang Yang found an opportunity to invite Jiang Feng for a drink.
Jiang Feng smirked inwardly, seeing through their plan to get him drunk with a series of toasts. They were in for a disappointment.
Who was Jiang Feng? He was once the Immortal King. How could he fear mere mortal alcohol? No matter how much he drank, he could dilute it with True Qi, at most feeling full like drinking water.
"Boss, are you alright? If you can't handle it, just refuse. Don't force yourself." Cheng Zhenjie noticed the scheme and quickly asked.
"No problem. They can't beat me." Jiang Feng replied confidently.
"Alright, as long as you know your limits." Cheng Zhenjie nodded.
He trusted Jiang Feng's abilities. If Jiang Feng said it was fine, then it surely was.
In the following time, people kept toasting Jiang Feng, and he accepted every one.
Gradually, everyone noticed that Jiang Feng could really hold his liquor. This was strong white liquor, and even if each person only took a sip, it would add up to about a pound.
Normally, drinking a pound of white liquor should have made him drunk, or at least dizzy and incoherent.
But Jiang Feng remained clear-headed, chatting and laughing, showing no signs of slurring, as if he hadn't drunk at all.
What was going on?
Everyone was puzzled. Was Jiang Feng a heavy drinker who hadn't reached his limit yet?
Zhu Bajie was also puzzled, seeing Jiang Feng unaffected. It seemed this tactic had failed.
It was useless.
Jiang Feng smiled at everyone, while his True Qi was dissolving the alcohol in his body, making it feel like drinking plain water.
Jiang Feng suddenly had a fun idea. He stood up and said, "How about this? Instead of everyone taking turns toasting me, let's drink from bowls. One bowl each, clean and straightforward, and everyone will be happy."
"What? Drink from bowls?"
"No way."
"I can't drink anymore."
"Let's stop drinking."
"Yeah, let's stop."
"I'm already dizzy. If I drink more, I'll definitely pass out."
"Me too. Let's call it quits."
Everyone was terrified at the idea of drinking from bowls, their faces turning pale.
A bowl of liquor was almost half a bottle, about a pound. Drinking that would knock anyone out.
The room fell silent. No one dared speak, fearing to draw attention.
Everyone knew they had followed Zhu Bajie's plan to get Jiang Feng drunk.
But instead of getting drunk, Jiang Feng was now counterattacking fiercely, putting them in a tough spot.
No one expected this outcome.
Jiang Feng looked around, seeing everyone's distressed expressions, feeling delighted. This was exactly what he wanted.
You wanted to get me drunk? Fine, now I'm giving you the chance.
But you don't dare.
A bunch of cowards and fools, used as tools.
Jiang Feng's move left no one willing to challenge him.
It was a powerful display.
"No one wants to drink?" Jiang Feng said, "Alright, I'll drink first. You can do as you please. If you can't handle it, you can leave it or pour it out."
With that, Jiang Feng picked up a bowl of liquor and drank it all in one go.
"Alright, I've finished my drink. Anyone who wants to drink with me, feel free to come." Jiang Feng sat down boldly, exuding confidence and dominance.
No one dared to speak, fearing to stand out.
Seeing no one respond, Jiang Feng smiled broadly.
You want to challenge me? None of you are my match.
Zhu Bajie awkwardly said, "Haha, Jiang Feng can really drink. We can't compare. Let's give him a round of applause."
Clap, clap!
Everyone knew Zhu Bajie was looking for a way out, so they clapped sensibly.
Hoping the applause would cover their guilt.
Jiang Feng didn't push them further. He had made his point.
Zhu Bajie gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, this Jiang Feng is tough. Looks like I'll have to use the last resort."
