Chapter 173 Hangover
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qian, for reminding me. I'll offer you a toast." Liu Xing was stunned when he heard the name Duan Tiangen for the first time. He glanced at Su Yingying, who was drunk and unconscious in his arms. After such a long time of dating, he never heard her mention Duan Tiangen, which meant that they were not in a romantic relationship. This Duan Tiangen was at most one of the pursuers of the beautiful Su Yingying, and he had no fault in terms of morality. However, beauty and wealth are the most attractive to people, and since Duan Tiangen is so powerful, he naturally wants to compete for them. With Liu Xing's strength, he is not afraid of him at all, but some troubles are inevitable. Alas, beauty is really a disaster, Liu Xing sighed.
Then, the four brothers fought each other to the death, finally all passed out drunk under the table, lying on the ground. Jiao Jiao had been released by Liu Xing to protect everyone, and Liu Xing had also set up defensive restrictions in the private room in advance. Because of the guaranteed safety, everyone was able to drink so peacefully without any worries. Jiao Jiao silently watched the drunken crowd on the ground, remembering the scenes of his father and uncles drinking, who also often had hangovers, just like his master at this moment. Why do men like to drink? It couldn't figure it out.
Everyone passed out drunkenly, lying there all night peacefully. The next day, they gradually sobered up and expressed their gratitude to Jiao Jiao for her protection. Everyone felt lightheaded and fatigued, some even suffering from splitting headaches, the hangover's aftereffects starting to set in. Their image was shattered, their hair dishevelled, their clothes in disarray. Yet, they didn't resent each other. Seeing each other's genuine, unpretentious side, they burst into laughter, unconsciously developing a deeper trust in one another. Last night, hungover, the truth came out, words were spoken, emotions were unexpressed, and all the previous grievances and pressures were released. This drinking party, at the right time, with the right people, and by chance, was a fate. The bond between brothers and friends is forged over drinks; the trust between brothers and friends is built through experiences.
Liu Xing pulled out a bottle of hangover pills and distributed them to everyone, who then sat cross-legged on the ground to refine the elixir. An hour later, everyone had returned to normal, their previous radiant demeanor restored. However, the distance between them had been greatly shortened, and a hint of trust was evident in their eyes. After this drinking session, the mental burden had been greatly lightened, and everyone's state of mind had experienced a slight improvement, which would be of some benefit to their future cultivation. With that, everyone returned to their respective caves.
"Senior Brother Sun, do you know about the matter between Liu Xing and Su Yingying?" In a cave halfway up the mountain in the forbidden area, two cultivators in the late foundation building stage were whispering.
"I'm not blind, how could I not know? Junior Brother Gou, could it be that this pair of dogs have become a couple?" Sun Zecheng cursed angrily.
"Senior Brother Sun, please be careful with your words. Liu Xing is a bastard who deserves to die. Junior Sister Su might have been deceived by him and fell into his trap." Gou Yu reminded the other party with a warning.
"Junior Brother Gou is right. Junior Sister Su must have been deceived by that bastard Liu Xing. We must find a way to stop him, oh, rescue Junior Sister Su from danger." Sun Zecheng seemed to have remembered something terrible and immediately changed his words.
"Before Senior Brother Duan went into seclusion, he asked the two of us to take good care of Junior Sister Su. It is our responsibility now. Senior Brother Duan will definitely succeed in forming a pill during this retreat. Even if he fails, he will still be in the false pill realm. His anger is not something you and I can bear. Your family and I will..." Gou Yu hesitated to speak.
"Yes, yes, yes. We must find a solution immediately. Perhaps there's still room for recovery." Sun Zecheng's body trembled slightly, as if recalling the danger of genocide. This showed just how powerful Duan Tiangen's methods were. Even without him, he was holding two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in a state of panic. The Sun and Gou families were both established immortal cultivation families, small clans, and these two were their greatest combatants. They had originally hoped to join the Thousand Machines Sect for a secure support, but who knew they would encounter the great demon Duan Tiangen? While they received some help with their cultivation, he also brought their entire clan under his control.
"I heard that Liu Xing didn't even pass the entry-level strength test. Apart from some talent in restrictions, he is a weakling in actual combat. If it weren't for the sect rules prohibiting fellow disciples from killing each other, it would be easy for you and I to join forces to kill him." Sun Zecheng said viciously.
"It's not necessary to kill him. Injuring or crippling him is fine, as long as he stops bothering Junior Sister Su." Gou Yu pondered.
"Junior Brother Gou, you have always been resourceful. You come up with a plan, and I will follow your instructions." Sun Zecheng seemed to know that he didn't have as many ideas as Gou Yu, so he was too lazy to think about it.
"First, we'll talk to Junior Sister Su, teach her about my strength, and get her to leave Liu Xing as soon as possible. Second, we'll cripple Liu Xing's pet dragon and sever one of its arms, forcing him to retreat. Finally, we'll provoke him into a fight, beat him half to death, and force him to give up. At the same time, we'll use this as a warning to others who might be plotting against Junior Sister Su." Gou Yu pondered for a moment before proposing the next course of action. It must be said that every step was a blatant conspiracy, forcing them to respond.
"Okay! Junior Brother Gou is very smart, leave the fighting to me." Sun Zecheng immediately agreed. He could find no fault with this plan.
"I will communicate with Junior Sister Su and destroy his pet. My guardian beast, the Earth Armor Dragon, has the peak strength of level three and its combat ability is not inferior to mine. It should be no problem to deal with Liu Xing's level three little dragon." Gou Yu said confidently.
"Senior Brother Sun, you are the highlight of this operation. Even if the first two steps don't work, Senior Brother Sun's victory in one battle will be enough to solve all problems." Gou Yu looked at Sun Zecheng and complimented him.
"Hehe, if this brat knows what's good for him and retreats when he encounters difficulties, it would be fine. Otherwise, I will make sure he tastes the power of the Kuiyin method." Sun Zecheng cursed viciously, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes. His whole body was filled with gloomy aura, which made people shudder. He was actually practicing the magic method.
"I'm counting on you, Senior Brother Sun. Your Kui Yin Divine Art is unmatched in your rank, and you'll surely be victorious in one blow." Gou Yu seemed to be aware of Sun Zecheng's prowess, so he decided to let him take the fight. Furthermore, to lure Liu Xing into the trap, he planned to deliberately defeat his own Earth Armor Dragon, lulling Liu Xing into a fight with Senior Brother Sun. This way, his Earth Armor Dragon wouldn't have to fight desperately; its armor provided incredible defensive power, easily withstanding his full-strength attack.
