Getting Drunk and Getting Someone Drunk

Getting Drunk and Getting Someone Drunk

After taking a simple stroll around Sala City, spending some Gold Soul Coins to order several sets of clothes from other shops, and buying some daily necessities for a child, Lin Mo finally brought Li Xuan to a restaurant.

Looking at the luxurious restaurant before him, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He also believed that Lin Mo had chosen this place for some other purpose.

It seemed Lin Mo had long since set the stage here, merely waiting for Li Xuan to arrive before beginning the show.

The moment Li Xuan entered the restaurant, he noticed something unusual in the atmosphere.

There were not many people in the restaurant, but at a glance, Li Xuan saw that their gazes kept intentionally or unintentionally drifting toward him.

If Li Xuan had guessed correctly, these people were all here to monitor him.

Moreover, their eyes were sharp and their professionalism was high. They were probably not Lin Mo's men, but people personally arranged by Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Chrysanthemum Douluo had really gone all out against him, sending so many people to watch him.

"Xuan Ge'er, I reserved a private room on the second floor. Just the two of us—let's drink to our hearts' content!" Worried that Li Xuan would notice something off about the atmosphere, Lin Mo hurriedly pulled him upstairs to a private room.

Following behind Lin Mo, Li Xuan curled his lip in disdain. This setup was far too obvious. But since he was already here, he decided to go along with it. Whatever move Lin Mo made, he would counter it.

After entering the private room, Li Xuan and Lin Mo sat down.

"Waiter, bring the wine and food!" As soon as Lin Mo sat down, he shouted to the waiter outside.

"Right away, sir. Please wait a moment! The food and wine will be here shortly." The waiter called out, and then a servant carrying dishes brought the prepared food and wine into the private room.

"Brother Lin Mo, can I really drink at my age? What if I stop growing afterward?" Li Xuan frowned, pretending to be troubled as he asked Lin Mo.

"As a man walking this earth, how can you not drink? Today, your brother will introduce you to the good stuff!" Lin Mo laughed, patting Li Xuan on the shoulder as he spoke loudly.

Li Xuan merely smiled and said nothing more.

Competing in drinking with a Spirit Master possessing a fire-attribute Martial Soul was truly like an old man hanging himself...

Courting death!

"Come, Xuan Ge'er. Today, the two of us brothers won't go home until we're drunk!" After speaking, Lin Mo picked up a jar of wine from the side, broke open the clay seal, and lifted the lid.

A rich fragrance of alcohol instantly filled the room.

Before even tasting it, Li Xuan could tell from the scent that the wine was of exceptional quality.

Lin Mo did not stand on ceremony and immediately poured Li Xuan a full bowl of wine.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Lin Mo. Let me toast you." After speaking, Li Xuan took the wine jar and poured Lin Mo a bowl as well.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Xuan carefully sniffed the wine. There were no poisonous substances mixed into it.

Lin Mo filled his bowl as well, and the two began drinking freely.

Li Xuan had originally intended to use the wine on the table to get Lin Mo drunk, but before they had even finished one jar, Lin Mo's eyes had already turned unfocused.

After one jar of wine, Lin Mo collapsed directly onto the table. No matter how Li Xuan pushed him, there was no response. If not for the fact that he was still breathing, anyone would have thought he was dead.

"No tolerance for alcohol, yet you came out drinking. Really..." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly at Lin Mo, then drank every last drop from his bowl.

After finishing his wine, Li Xuan went to Lin Mo's side to confirm whether he had truly passed out drunk.

After checking, Lin Mo had indeed fallen unconscious. That meant Li Xuan could act far more boldly from here on.

As for why Lin Mo had gotten drunk, it was perfectly normal. The wine was already strong, Lin Mo's body was weak, and more importantly, in order to get Li Xuan drunk, he had drunk too quickly and too eagerly. In short, Lin Mo had been thoroughly drunk by Li Xuan.

After Li Xuan returned to his own room.

There was no need to think about it. These people had definitely been arranged by Chrysanthemum Douluo to prevent him from escaping the Flower Sea.

The people arranged by Chrysanthemum Douluo were certainly far more professional than Lin Mo. Trying to walk out of the restaurant would be... extremely difficult!

Li Xuan frowned and carefully considered how he could leave this restaurant. After all, he could not beat a single one of those people downstairs.

Li Xuan's luck had been poor lately. The shop had not refreshed any items that could disguise his appearance, nor had he found any herbs in the Flower Sea that could alter his face.

Even leaving the restaurant would be extremely difficult for Li Xuan.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Li Xuan's mind!

Since sneaking out was too difficult, he might as well act according to the nature of a six-year-old child and swagger straight out of the restaurant.

Chrysanthemum Douluo had probably arranged these people because he was worried Li Xuan might lose control. Li Xuan was betting that as long as he remained under their control, they would not reveal themselves and bring him before Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Most importantly, he had no intention of running away. Even if he ended up before Chrysanthemum Douluo, Li Xuan could still argue his case.

Then Li Xuan weighed the money pouch in his hand and revealed a confident smile.

As long as he did not go too far, the people monitoring him probably would not stop him.

Having thought this through, Li Xuan directly pushed open the private room door and casually walked out.

The instant they saw Li Xuan emerge from the private room, nearly everyone monitoring him froze. Their eyes all locked onto him.

However, they did not dare act rashly. In groups of two or three, they quickly withdrew their gazes and began whispering among themselves. This was also the first time they had encountered such a situation, and for the moment, they had no idea how to handle it.

Seeing their reactions, Li Xuan smiled faintly and strode out of the restaurant.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man emerged from the restaurant kitchen. He wore an apron, held a cleaver in his hand, and watched Li Xuan's departing back with cold eyes.

"Have the City Lord's Mansion guards split into three teams. The first team will guard the city gates. Li Xuan, that child, must not be allowed to leave Sala City. The second team will follow behind Li Xuan—do not lose him. The third team will follow the second team and record what Li Xuan does, what he buys, and what he looks at!" The man immediately issued orders to the people beside him.

"Yes, sir!" Everyone moved at once and began making the arrangements.

"That useless Lin Mo! He couldn't even outdrink a child! He messed up such a simple situation!" The man roared, slamming his palm onto the table before preparing to go upstairs and settle things with Lin Mo.

Li Xuan also saw the people behind him beginning to move, and the worry in his heart finally eased.

After all, the person in charge had not seized him immediately. That proved the man had no intention of alerting him.

As for the people following behind him, Li Xuan did not care about them at all. He had no intention of doing anything improper, so there was no need to worry about them reporting his behavior to Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Walking through the streets of Sala City, Li Xuan felt a long-lost sense of freedom. Breathing the free air was far more comfortable than being in the Flower Sea.

Dear readers, happy weekend. I can't hold on anymore, so I'm going to sleep first...
