Chapter 1770: Chapter 1770: Shopkeeper Tong
Tsk.
Didn’t expect to encounter a woman who rivals men, her capacity for alcohol is impressive.
Seeing Tong Ling’er directly provoke him, Li Feng naturally didn’t back down. He picked up the wine jar Tong Ling’er threw over, drank it in one go, and then tossed it onto the ground in front of him with a crash.
"Another one."
Tong Ling’er kicked another jar of wine towards Li Feng while grabbing a jar herself. Seeing this, Shui Furong covered her forehead.
"The young shopkeeper’s competitive spirit is on full display again."
"Aren’t you two going to try to stop them? If the shopkeeper returns, we’ll all be reprimanded."
Shui Furong looked towards Liu Qinghou and Jin Manlou.
"Don’t look at me, when the young shopkeeper is in this mood, not even nine bulls could hold her back, unless the shopkeeper shows up right now, no one can do anything."
"However, when it comes to drinking, this lad might not be a match for our young shopkeeper, who has been tasting all kinds of wine since childhood and never gets drunk, no matter how much she drinks."
"Hmm, it’s easy to say, but if she gets drunk, she becomes unstoppable, she could even turn the sky upside down."
Shui Furong looked worried.
"Forget it, this might be the best outcome."
Liu Qinghou exhaled, knowing that whatever was said wouldn’t be listened to by the young shopkeeper, who had just suffered a loss of face and was trying to regain it through drinking.
Besides, even if she gets drunk, at least she won’t be brooding, otherwise, having a shadow on one’s heart is a grave flaw for cultivation.
The three of them didn’t intervene further, only sitting on the sidelines to watch from a distance.
After about an hour, the pile of broken wine jars in front of the two had become a small mound, and Tong Ling’er was also slightly tipsy.
"Hmm, I see you can hold your liquor well, able to drink on par with me, so I’ll forgive you for the previous matter."
Tong Ling’er held a wine jar and walked over to Li Feng. After sitting down next to him, she looked at him, reeking of alcohol.
"Young shopkeeper, you aren’t drunk already, are you?"
"Uh, what does she intend to do?"
"The wine we’re serving is the best from our inn, its strength is extraordinary, that lad’s in for trouble." Jin Manlou glanced over and chuckled.
Li Feng turned to Tong Ling’er: "Why are you staring at me?"
"Hmph, who’s staring at you? I just can’t figure out, how could you get so strong in just over a month, when we’ve always been on par before."
Tong Ling’er blinked her eyes: "Tell me, how did you become stronger?"
Li Feng looked at the slightly drunk Tong Ling’er: "You’ve had too much to drink."
"I’ve had too much?"
"You’re joking, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, you say I’m drunk? I think you’re the drunk one. If you don’t believe me, get up, let’s dance."
"See who falls first."
Tong Ling’er’s mind was all over the place, pulling Li Feng by the arm to dance.
Li Feng couldn’t resist and, with the alcohol fueling him, decided to indulge for once.
This scene left Liu Qinghou and the others looking at each other in dismay.
Just as the two were making a fuss.
Two figures jumped onto the ninth-level terrace, immediately catching the attention of Shui Furong and the others.
"The shopkeeper."
Shui Furong and the others stood up to see the two who entered the ninth-level, the leader being the owner of Tongfu Inn, who bore a striking resemblance to Tong Ling’er, except her demeanor was more mature and commanding.
Beside her was another of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tongfu Inn, Zhan Yuxiao, debonair and rivaling the elegance of Bai Yi, the Flower-Seeker Liu Qinghou.
Tong the shopkeeper’s gaze landed on the slightly unruly young shopkeeper: "What a mess, how did this happen again, letting her drink so much wine."
Tong the shopkeeper gave a slight nod, and behind her, Zhan Yuxiao understood without a word needed, dashing over like the wind to where Li Feng and the young shopkeeper Tong Ling’er were.
As fast as the wind, Li Feng noticed, but before he could react, Tong Ling’er was already brought before Tong the shopkeeper.
"Mother?"
"Mother, is it you?"
Tong Ling’er giggled foolishly at the sight of Tong the shopkeeper in front of her, and the shopkeeper, seeing her daughter’s drunken stupor, raised her hand to tap her forehead, causing Tong Ling’er to pass out instantly.
"Take her back to her room."
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Tong Ling’er was escorted away, while Li Feng, standing not far away, had sobered up quite a bit, his eyes fixed on Tong the shopkeeper.
This shopkeeper was the spitting image of a mature, captivating Tong Ling’er.
"What happened?"
Tong the shopkeeper glanced at Li Feng but addressed Shui Furong.
Lowering her voice, Shui Furong recounted the events, and upon hearing, Tong the shopkeeper nodded and stepped forward to Li Feng.
"To reach the ninth floor of Tongfu Inn makes you our most honored guest. I apologize for my daughter’s behavior."
Tong the shopkeeper, without further ado, picked up a jar of wine: "This one is my treat."
Saying this, she tilted her neck back and drained it in one go, just like the young shopkeeper.
Li Feng watched the identical mother and daughter, cut from the same mold, doing things in the exact same manner.
"If necessary, I can continue drinking."
Tong the shopkeeper squinted at Li Feng.
Li Feng felt overwhelmed, this woman was truly a tigress, smiling but exerting immense pressure.
"The shopkeeper’s sincerity is more than enough, please don’t trouble yourself further."
"Are you sure?"
Li Feng shook his head.
Tong the shopkeeper’s lips curled slightly but didn’t leave immediately, stepping forward instead: "Don’t mess with my daughter, understood."
"She is already spoken for, if you dare approach her again, regardless of whether you are a disciple of Nine Layers Mountain, I won’t show you any courtesy."
After saying this, Tong the shopkeeper swiftly turned: "Make sure our guest eats well, enjoys well, don’t tarnish the reputation of Tongfu Inn."
Watching the shopkeeper leave, Li Feng, Liu Qinghou, Shui Furong, and Jin Manlou also departed. Li Feng wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
This shopkeeper of Tongfu, her strength is a bit frightening.
The brief confrontation left Li Feng with chills down his spine, but he certainly had no intention of courting Tong Ling’er.
Exhaling a breath of wine, Li Feng turned and sat on the soft mat, his objective for the night accomplished, it would be hard not to draw attention now.
"Where on earth did Li Feng go?"
Meanwhile, at the Flag Master Mansion of the Vermilion Bird Camp in Nine Layers Mountain.
Bai Yi’s recruitment for the Personal Guard Camp was in full swing, not even stopping at night, yet Li Feng seemed to have vanished.
Sikong Yu and Ouyang Qiuhai scoured for Li Feng to no avail and returned to the Flag Master Mansion, grabbing Zhang Qiang.
"Hurry and talk, if you don’t, don’t blame this Flag Master’s fists for being ruthless."
Ouyang Qiuhai raised her pink fists and questioned.
"Two Flag Masters, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but the Flag Master had previously instructed me not to speak."
