Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 183: Chapter 53: This Prince Will Compete with You

An Minxia was displeased upon hearing this.

”Lan Cai’er, what do you mean by that? I have already handed over my share of the Drunk Immortal Inn. You and I are even now.”

Thinking of the affair at Yunmeng Swamp, An Minxia was grinding her teeth with resentment, losing to Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er was, to her, an unbearable humiliation.

”Even? An Minxia, did the Ghost Lady Swamp Spider King injure your brain, making you brain-damaged, or did you develop amnesia? Besides the share of the Drunk Immortal Inn, you also said that whoever first obtained the Swamp Spider Core and brewed the Five Treasures Brew would be considered the winner, and the loser would become a servant to the winner.” Lan Cai’er was the kind of person who wouldn’t let things go easily and, furthermore, An Minxia had tried several times to kill her and Ling Yue at Yunmeng Swamp. Lan Cai’er was determined to vent her anger.

When she just returned to Xia Capital, she intended to settle accounts with An Minxia, but at that time she heard An Minxia was still ailing in bed, and so she temporarily let it go.

Little did she know that An Minxia would be so ungrateful, making use of Immortal Restaurant to push Drunk Immortal Inn out. Lan Cai’er simply brought up the old matters again, shaming An Minxia.

”If you don’t admit it, we can ask Prince Feng. He was there that day and heard it with his own ears.” Lan Cai’er anticipated An Minxia would deny it and straightforwardly brought Prince Feng into this matter as her trump card.

Lan Cai’er made eye contact with Feng Xun, signaling him. Feng Xun helplessly nodded.

”Indeed, on that day at Yunmeng Swamp, county master An did utter those words.”

”It’s because they played dirty, especially Ye Lingyue. The Swamp Spider Core was originally as good as mine, and it was her, ambushing me halfway, who snatched the Core away. Prince Feng, you mustn’t be deceived by this woman’s pure appearance. She’s a shameless vixen who flirts with anyone. You certainly don’t know that at Yunmeng Swamp, she and Ghost Emperor Wu Chong were hugging and acting intimately, it was quite a sight.” Upon hearing that even Prince Feng was siding with Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, An Minxia was both anxious and irritated.

Ghost Emperor Wu Chong?

Hearing this name, the expression of everyone present changed.

The Heir Qinghai was incredibly shocked; the name of Ghost Emperor Wu Chong resonated in both the underworld and legitimate circles, striking fear into those who heard it.

The Cui Family also looked deeply concerned, never expecting that the Lan Residence would actually have connections with the Ghost Emperor.

It’s no wonder everyone said that Emperor Wu General Lan Yingwu’s unexpected breakthrough in Li City was a mystery, and now it seemed that with an association to the Ghost Emperor, Lan Yingwu’s breakthrough was naturally accounted for.

Everyone was deeply wary of Ghost Emperor Wu Chong, except for Feng Xun, whose expression was unchanged.

As if he had never heard of the fearsome reputation of the Ghost Emperor.

”County Lord An, please be cautious with your words. To my knowledge, in Daxia, baselessly slandering another’s reputation is punishable by fifty strokes of the rod.” Prince Feng’s phoenix eyes carried a frosty edge, with a hint of coldness.

An Minxia didn’t expect that not only would Prince Feng not believe her, but he would also stand up for Ye Lingyue, which infuriated her even more.

Seeing this, the Cui Family silently shook their heads.

Even a blind man could see that Prince Feng was fond of Ye Lingyue. Her daughter An Minxia had foolishly given her heart to the wrong person, for Prince Feng didn’t take her seriously at all.

”Minxia, our guests should be treated with respect. How could you treat Prince Feng, the Princely Heir, and the guests from the Lan Residence like this? Eldest Miss Lan, if my daughter did anything inappropriate, I ask for your forgiveness.” The old Cui Family matriarch, being experienced and tactful, saw the dispute escalating and attracting the attention of many other guests, so she intervened to stop An Minxia.

After all, the Cui Family matriarch was an elder, and even Lan Cai’er couldn’t be too presumptuous in front of her.

”Second Lady, as you have seen, it was County Lord An who lost the bet first. We have witnesses to this, and if the An Country Marquis Mansion fails to honor such a simple bet, how will they earn anyone’s trust in the future?” Lan Cai’er pouted, unwilling to let the matter go.

”Eldest Miss Lan, you have a point. However, I just heard your bet agreement, and it clearly stated that whoever obtains the Swamp Spider Core and brews the Five Treasures Brew first shall win. Now, may I ask, have you managed to brew a Five Treasures Brew that is exactly like the one from Immortal Inn? If you haven’t produced an identical one, then this bet is null and void.” Cui Family matriarch smirked dismissively, her words dripping with scorn.

Even with the Swamp Spider Core in hand, brewing the Five Treasures Brew is not something everyone can achieve.

The Cui Family matriarch had heard that Ye Lingyue was the brewing master behind it. Considering her age, not even into her twenties, it seemed impossible that she could have successfully brewed it at her first attempt, even if she started learning from the womb.

”Who says...” Just as Lan Cai’er was about to boast about their Rainbow Five Treasures, the Alcohol Battle Conference had reached its climax.

”Wow, the tenth jar! Master Hai Wuliang has already downed ten jars of the Five Treasures Brew, no one here can hold a candle to him.”

Looking at the other guests participating in the drinking competition, they were all so drunk they were beyond sense.

Lan Cai’er was astounded. Hai Wuliang’s stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit; even her own father, Lan Yingwu, couldn’t possibly drink ten jars of the Five Treasures Brew in one go.

”See, the Five Treasures Brew from Immortal Restaurant is not something anyone can brew. Do you think, if it were the wine from Drunk Immortal Inn, that it could attract so many patrons?” An Minxia said disdainfully.

Ye Lingyue withdrew her gaze, looked at the cunning Cui family mother and daughter, and a plan formed in her mind.

”If that’s the case, why don’t we have another competition today, using this Alcohol Battle Conference as the wager to see if the wine from Immortal Restaurant truly lives up to its name.” Saying so, Ye Lingyue approached a drunk guest and picked up a jar of the Five Treasures Brew.

”Ling Yue, you really shouldn’t; the Alcohol Battle Conference is not something you can just join on a whim.” Lan Cai’er was startled by what she saw.

Lan Cai’er thought that Ye Lingyue had been driven mad by An Minxia’s provocations.

An Minxia might have a questionable character, but the Five Treasures Brew from Immortal Restaurant was genuinely good liquor. Ling Yue was just a girl, how could she possibly drink so much alcohol?

”Eldest Miss Lan is right, Miss Ling Yue, both Immortal Inn and Drunk Immortal Inn produce exceptional drinks, each with its own merits,” Heir Qinghai also quickly discouraged her, as even those very tall and strong men had been reduced to lying on the ground drunk. Ye Lingyue didn’t seem like someone who could handle her drinks.

”Ye Lingyue, don’t overestimate yourself. This Alcohol Battle Conference is not for just anybody, and if you end up with severe consequences from drinking too much, don’t blame us at Immortal Restaurant.” An Minxia inwardly hoped Ye Lingyue would drink herself into a stupor.

At this Alcohol Battle Conference, many hardened drinkers had ended up with bleeding stomachs, and some even lost their lives. If Ye Lingyue didn’t end up with some illness, then making a fool of herself while drunk and getting Prince Feng to despise her would be the best outcome.

Seeing that Ye Lingyue insisted on participating in the Alcohol Battle Conference, Lan Cai’er became anxious and looked in Feng Xun’s direction, hoping he would intervene.

”In that case, I will also accompany Ling Yue in this Alcohol Battle Conference.” Unexpectedly, Feng Xun smiled tenderly, his eyes filled with indulgence. The way he looked at her, you’d think he would accompany her not just for a drinking competition, but even through a trial by fire and sword.
