Forcing the wine out with Xuan Energy would be a breach of etiquette.
Therefore, usually, warriors would either not drink or they wouldn't use Xuan Energy to force the wine out.
Lu Li could not force the wine out with Xuan Energy. So, he had to either leave or wash Jiang Qiling's feet?
Wash her feet?
To wash a woman's feet, a slutty one at that, was harder than killing Lu Li.
Now, one goblet of wine could only allow him to cultivate for a day. Lu Li was not willing to leave just like this.
He made up his mind, picked up another goblet and gulped it down.
He didn't believe that he would pass out. As long as he was still standing, he could jump down to the second floor at any time and ask Yu Huashen to carry him back.
He didn't stop. He poured another goblet of wine at a horrifying speed, gulped it down and kept on …
In the time for several blinks, Lu Li had poured five goblets of wine and gulped them all down quickly.
He wanted to drink as much as he could before the effects of the wine came back and then jump down to the second floor …
"Eh?"
Jiang Qiling was scared. She was telling the truth. The Bloody Rose was one of the strongest kinds of wine at the Central Plains. The best drinker she knew could only drink nine goblets.
Lu Li didn't seem to be a good drinker. How come he had drunk six goblets and he was still standing?
"Bang ~"
Lu Li wanted to pour more wine but he couldn't control his hands and feet. The jug of wine fell on the golden table.
His face turned red, his neck and the skin all over his body. He tried to open his eyes but he couldn't.
He breathed heavily, moved his lips, pointed at the table and said, "More wine, more wine, 10 more goblets for me!"
Jiang Qiling didn't move. She shook her head and said, "Man, you can't drink anymore. You are drunk."
"More!"
Lu Li's tone suddenly turned cold, leaving no room for negotiation. He opened his eyes, which were bloodshot and ferocious. His qi and energy grew stronger as well.
Jiang Qiling suddenly felt it was not a young man sitting in front of her, but a powerful wild beast.
"Fine. Why are you so angry?
Let me see how much more you can drink. "
Jiang Qiling pouted. She got up, took out 10 cups and poured them all for Lu Li.
Then she sneered and said, "If you can finish it all, I'll allow you to cultivate for free for 20 days."
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
Lu Li breathed heavily. He closed his eyes and lowered his head. His facial expression became ferocious. The reason why he didn't fall down was because of his strong willpower.
How terrifying was his willpower?
The demons had been attacking his soul for three days and three nights without being able to destroy it. Those three days and three nights were like torture in hell.
He had survived that kind of pain, so how could a little alcohol numb his nerves?
"Hold on, I can't get drunk. I have to drink it all!"
Lu Li's mind was filled with such thoughts. His strong willpower was fighting against the drowsiness coming from his soul.
His hand trembled slightly, then he grabbed a glass of wine with lightning speed, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
A drunk person's nerves would often be paralyzed. Their soul would not be able to control their body, and their body would also become sluggish.
She was surprised that Lu Li drank a goblet of wine so quickly and accurately.
Things that surprised her continued to happen.
Lu Li rested for a while and suddenly opened his eyes. He drank another goblet as fast as lightning. This time, he didn't rest.
After he drank another goblet, he couldn't stand it anymore. He trembled and leaned against the wall behind him.
Nine goblets!
Lu Li had drunk nine goblets in total. He was the best drinker Jiang Qiling had ever seen.
Also, even though Lu Li was leaning against the wall, he wasn't completely drunk. The muscles on his face were still trembling, and he was struggling to sit up.
Lu Li didn't use any Xuan Energy to force himself to drink!
Jiang Qiling was sure of this. Lu Li was intoxicated after the first goblet. She could tell from this that Lu Li was not a good drinker. But how could he drink nine goblets of Bloody Rose?
Jiang Qiling was confused. How could Lu Li stay conscious after drinking so much wine?
"Roar ~"
From Lu Li's throat came a beast-like growl. He sat up abruptly and opened his eyes again.
This time, there were more streaks of blood in his eyes, which made him look scarier. His expression was ferocious, like a wounded beast.
He grabbed two wine glasses with both hands and poured the wine into his mouth. Two glasses, four glasses, six glasses, seven glasses!
Sixteen goblets!
Lu Li drank 16 goblets of wine in total. He grinned and said with misty eyes, "Lady Qi, you said 20 days. Don't go back on your word. Goodbye ~"
Lu Li groped on the table for a while, grabbed his Mithral Golem Mask and put it on his face. After he put the mask on, he pressed on the golden table to stand up.
Then he staggered out and bumped into the cabin door. He fumbled around for a long time before he opened the door and walked to the railing outside the cabin.
Then … he fell head first and directly smashed into the first floor.
Yu Huashen hurried over, carried Lu Li into the cabin.
Jiang Qiling didn't come out, nor did she check to see if Lu Li would pass out.
She sat in the cabin for a long time before the astonished expression on her face calmed down. Finally, she spat out a few words, "What a strong willpower … Abnormal!"
Not even her grandpa, a powerful warrior at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm, could drink 16 goblets of Bloody Rose without using Xuan Energy.
What was more, Lu Li could talk to her after he was done. He put on his mask and walked out of the cabin.
"It is said that a man with strong willpower can fight against the numbness and invasion of wine. He can keep himself sober!"
Jiang Qiling remembered a saying of a powerful warrior. She didn't believe it before, but now, she was convinced.
She had been drinking for five years and this was the first time she had seen such a freak.
"He really is a wild horse. Interesting!"
Jiang Qiling remembered the first time she saw Lu Li on the deck. Lu Li was young and he was dressed like a playboy. But Jiang Qiling, who had seen many people, could see through his disguise at once.
Lu Li had gone through so many hardships when he was a kid. He had gone through so many things and killed so many people.
He had been an Island Owner and commanded many powerful warriors. In the end, he had become the leader of the Thousand-island Lake and the most powerful force at the Northern Desert.
Cultivation could change one's temperament!
A man's temperament would change according to his identity. The temperament in his bones could not be concealed.
Jiang Qiling could tell at first glance that Lu Li was a strong wild horse. Little did she know that he was even stronger than she had imagined …
"Strong, strong!"
