Inside one of the finest restaurants in North City of Flame Realm.
Once they arrived, Lei Dong sat down and said, "Not bad. Looks like you usually know how to enjoy yourself, too?"
"Haha... Naturally. Cultivating all day is too boring. I discovered this place when I came here with a few clan members out of boredom. Should we find a few companions to drink with?"
Huo Xuan explained proudly, then spoke with a lecherous grin.
North City was inhabited by the clansmen who served the Flame Clan, and they still had to make a living there. All kinds of restaurants and general stores were available. The same was true of Lei Realm, where there were small cities like this as well. It was just that Lei Dong, a cultivation fanatic, had never visited one.
Lei Dong curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Do I look like that kind of person?"
Huo Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed and was just about to change the subject when he heard Lei Dong continue, "Are they beauties? This young master doesn't want anyone lacking in looks!"
Huo Xuan froze for two seconds and cursed inwardly. He then said, "Naturally. This is the finest restaurant in our Flame Realm."
After giving Lei Dong a brief introduction, Huo Xuan called over the restaurant owner, ordered three or five dishes, and asked for thirty jars of strong liquor. He also called for two Maids to pour the wine. Judging by the situation, he was preparing to have a great drinking match with Lei Dong!
A moment later, several graceful and alluring Maids entered. Lei Dong shook his head and said, "They're all just vulgar beauties. Huo Xuan, you need to improve your taste! Besides, doesn't your Flame Clan have plenty of beautiful and outstanding girls among the younger generation? Don't be so careless."
Huo Xuan was left speechless...
Huo Xuan was at least one of the leaders of the younger generation in the Flame Clan. Even if he wanted women, he could not win over Huo Zhi, who was of equal status, but there would still be a large number of other girls for him with just a wave of his hand. How could he possibly choose these women?
Moreover, he had already seen through Lei Dong. Lei Dong had called for Maids purely to mock him.
Huo Xuan waved at the Maids and said, "All of you, leave."
After the Maids set down the wine, they immediately left. As for Lei Dong's comment that they were vulgar beauties, they did not care at all. Of course, they did not dare to care, despite each of them possessing considerable strength.
After all, they were merely making a living in the Flame Clan. They did not know Lei Dong, but they knew Huo Xuan. He would very likely become the Crown Prince of the Flame Clan in the future.
Gu Yuan and Lei Ying had both fathered sons in their later years, while Yan Jin was especially pitiful. He had neither sons nor daughters under his command. When he was young, he had focused solely on cultivation. Now that he wanted children, Heaven no longer arranged it for him.
Among the younger generation of the Flame Clan, aside from Huo Zhi, whose talent was no worse than his, Huo Xuan was clearly the number one person. Unfortunately, he was not Yan Jin's son, which was why he could not obtain the title of Young Clan Leader.
But which discerning person did not know that as long as Huo Xuan did not die prematurely, the Flame Clan would inevitably belong to him in the future?
Half a day later...
There were already more than forty empty jars scattered across the floor. Huo Xuan's face and neck were flushed, and he looked somewhat dazed. In contrast, Lei Dong was still gulping down wine as if nothing were wrong.
Huo Xuan slurred, "Lei Dong, didn't you say you couldn't drink? You didn't use Dou Qi to sober up, did you?"
Lei Dong grinned mischievously. "I only said I haven't drunk many times. But with liquor of this strength, even if I drink ten more jars, I still won't get drunk. Come, Brother Huo, keep going, keep going."
As he spoke, Lei Dong opened another jar and began downing it with a series of "Gulp, gulp..."
Seeing Lei Dong finish another jar in one go, Huo Xuan shook his head and said, "You tricked me!"
Lei Dong replied calmly, "When did I trick you? Huo Xuan, can you still keep going or not? If not, admit defeat and we'll each go back to sleep."
At this moment, he was actually somewhat dazed as well. Even low-proof liquor would start to affect him after drinking more than twenty jars without using Dou Qi to dispel the alcohol.
After hearing the words "admit defeat," Huo Xuan immediately lifted a jar of wine and said, "I refuse to believe it! I may not be able to beat you, but I refuse to believe I can't outdrink you!"
The next moment, Huo Xuan raised a jar of wine in his hand.
"Whoosh~..."
Lei Dong was not sure whether any wine had entered his stomach, but Huo Xuan was now completely drenched, like a drowned rat...
"Clang..."
After the wine poured over his head and soaked his entire body, Huo Xuan passed out on the spot.
"Pfft~ Hahaha..." Seeing Huo Xuan drunk unconscious, Lei Dong laughed heartlessly. He then stood up and left directly.
He had already won, and he had drunk his fill. There was nothing sad enough to make him drink until he lost his bearings. As for Huo Xuan? He reeked of alcohol, and Lei Dong could not be bothered to look after him. This was the Flame Clan, after all, and the people at the restaurant all knew him. There was no need for Lei Dong to worry about anything.
After leaving the restaurant, Lei Dong traveled through the air toward the center of Flame Realm.
He had just taken a few steps when two Flame Clan Dou Zuns blocked his path. After seeing Lei Dong, they spoke at the same time. "Who are you, boy? Don't you know that flying is forbidden within Flame Realm?"
This ban on flying was not limited to Flame Realm. Lei Realm also had the same rule for outsiders. Lei Dong was not restricted in Lei Realm, and since he had only flown just now to return quickly, he had forgotten about the rule.
Seeing the two men, Lei Dong smiled and said, "I am Lei Dong, the Young Clan Leader of the Lei Clan. I came here as a guest today and forgot about this rule. Please forgive me."
After hearing Lei Dong reveal his identity, the two Dou Zuns instantly lost their arrogant attitudes. One of them said, "So you're Young Clan Leader Lei. Please proceed. We didn't recognize you, so we hope you won't take offense."
Lei Dong sneered inwardly and said, "It's fine. Can I return to my residence like this?"
The other man also smiled obsequiously. "Naturally. You're a guest of the Flame Clan, so this rule does not apply to you."
After saying this, the two men left separately. Once Lei Dong was no longer obstructed, he reached the residence Huo Xuan had arranged for him after only a few breaths.
He was already used to what had just happened. In this world, as long as you had a powerful force backing you or possessed strength above everyone else, you could receive VIP-level treatment anywhere. If you had nothing, then just like what had happened earlier, merely being beaten up would probably count as getting off lightly.
The idea that everyone was equal did not exist in this world at all. Lei Dong understood this deeply, which was why he had diligently cultivated every day since he was three years old.
Just as Lei Dong arrived at his residence, he happened to run into Huo Zhi, who was walking over. Huo Zhi also saw Lei Dong and had just been about to greet him when a strong stench of alcohol assaulted her nose. To someone who disliked drinking, the smell was absolutely foul!
Huo Zhi covered her nose and asked with a look of disgust, "Lei Dong, how much did you drink? Where did Huo Xuan go?"
Seeing her disgusted expression, Lei Dong immediately became unhappy. Adding to that the haughty attitude she had shown earlier in the day when he asked her to remove her veil, Lei Dong said directly, "What the hell does it have to do with you?"
Huo Zhi froze for two seconds before shouting angrily, "You... you bastard!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Zhi raised her jade hand and struck toward Lei Dong, as if she intended to teach him a lesson.
"Smack~"
However, with her strength as a Three-star Dou Ancestor, how could she possibly be Lei Dong's opponent? Lei Dong merely raised his hand slightly and easily caught her jade hand. Huo Zhi tried to pull her hand free after it was seized, but Lei Dong's hand seemed to possess the force of a thousand pounds. She could not move it in the slightest!
