Fei Tian's Social Death

To conserve his strength, Qin Yun temporarily took Heavenly Fire Venerable into his Storage Ring.

Then, to be safe, the two of them quietly left the Lava World at top speed and returned to the Spacecraft they had arrived in.

Back in familiar surroundings, they finally breathed sighs of relief.

Qin Yun also took out his Jade Transmission Slip and sent Fei Tian a message, essentially saying that their business was finished and they could leave.

Yet a full minute or two passed without any response.

Qin Yun frowned slightly. That should not have happened, so he initiated a voice call instead.

The call connected, but a great deal of noise came from the other end. It sounded as though something rather chaotic was happening.

Had a fight broken out? That was Qin Yun's first reaction, but on second thought, probably not. If Fei Tian were fighting, he could hardly have had time to answer his voice transmission.

Calming himself, Qin Yun listened carefully to the sounds coming from the other end. Despite the racket, he could just about make out a few words.

"Woodpecker! Let me show you something good!"

"Time to broaden your horizons!"

"He's had too much! Too much!"

"No! Please, no!"

"???"

What the hell? They sounded pretty happy over there!

Qin Yun and Feng Qing'er exchanged a look, both rather confused.

What was Fei Tian doing? Had he drunk too much and gone on a drunken rampage? If he was done drinking, he should just leave! Why make a spectacle of himself?

There was nothing for it. According to their original plan, once Fei Tian returned, the three of them would go exchange for the Heavenly Flames.

But he had clearly drunk too much now, so the two of them had no choice but to reveal their identities and fetch him first.

They soon reached the place where Fei Tian had been chatting with the academy elders.

But the moment they arrived, they noticed something was wrong.

Fei Tian sat slumped on the ground like a puddle of mud, constantly mumbling something about a woodpecker.

Around him stood several elders who had managed to remain sober despite drinking.

Those elders, however, all seemed to be rubbing their eyes incessantly.

It was as though they had seen something utterly bizarre. Not only that,

their expressions were complicated, with some even showing fear and lingering dread.

"May we ask what happened here? We're Uncle Fei's juniors.

"He'd been here a long time without coming back, so we thought we'd come down and see what was going on."

Qin Yun and Feng Qing'er briefly introduced themselves,

then asked what exactly had happened over the past four hours.

Great Elder Su Qian answered them. Although he had clearly drunk quite a bit himself and his face was slightly flushed,

he was at least still sober and behaving normally, unlike Fei Tian.

Once they learned the whole story, Qin Yun and Feng Qing'er were speechless too.

Feng Qing'er's face, in particular, turned as red as a ripe tomato.

She even regretted not having made up her mind to finish Fei Tian off back then.

Embarrassing himself was one thing, but he had dragged both of them down with him.

In short, the first two hours had been fine. He had merely drunk a little too much.

Then Su Qian had brought out the medicinal wine he had treasured for years, intending to share it with everyone.

Unexpectedly, several ingredients in what should have been a health-strengthening medicinal wine had conflicting properties, producing an effect similar to Thousand-Day Drunk.

Still, it was only medicinal wine. With their strength, they could sober up after taking a little time to recover.

But to buy time, Fei Tian had thrown caution to the wind and downed cup after cup.

By the time he started drinking the medicinal wine, he had already emptied several large jars of strong liquor beside him.

And he had polished off almost two-thirds of the medicinal wine himself.

On top of that, he wanted to savor the pleasure of drinking,

so he had not used his Dou Qi to quickly break down the alcohol in his body.

He had inadvertently gotten completely drunk, then started making a drunken scene, announcing that he would show everyone a treasure to broaden their horizons and take his pet bird out for a stroll while he was at it.

Two hours later, Fei Tian had completely sobered up.

His entire body, however, had gone rigid. Just moments ago, he had learned everything he had done while drunk.

To think that a mighty Five-Star Dou Zong like him had done something so outrageous after drinking! Fei Tian had nearly decided to slit his own throat and depart this world.

"Nothing happened just now, right?" Fei Tian swept a sinister gaze over the academy elders present.

His meaning could not have been clearer: whoever dared spread word of this would die.

Qin Yun, however, was having none of it. He slung an arm around Fei Tian's neck.

"That's right. Absolutely nothing happened. Nobody forced everyone to watch him parade his little bird around in public, either."

By the time he finished, everyone present was struggling to hold back their laughter, but not one dared laugh aloud. A Five-Star Dou Zong throwing a fit in the academy would be terrifying.

"You didn't draw a picture of what I did just now, did you?" Fei Tian specifically asked Qin Yun.

Of everyone present, he was the least trustworthy. Who knew what he might do after witnessing Fei Tian make a fool of himself?

"Of course not! With how close we are, how could I possibly draw that?" Qin Yun flatly denied it.

"Good. You understand me after all."

"But I did use a Recording Stone."

"You XXX... XXX!"

"All right, all right, it's just teasing. Nobody likes your woodpecker, or your story about a chick turning into a phoenix."

Watching those two clowns, Feng Qing'er played peacemaker for once.

Although that earlier scene had not been recorded, Fei Tian was still in an exceedingly foul mood.

Yet he could not afford to offend either of the two youngsters on his side. Qin Yun was Thunder Venerable's personal disciple. If he did anything to this Young Pavilion Master, Thunder Venerable would whip him like a spinning top once he returned.

As for Feng Qing'er, her backing was even more formidable. If he harmed so much as a hair on her head, all nine clans of his family would be wiped out.

"What are you laughing at? Since you're all so happy, why don't we do something even more exciting?" The sight of them struggling not to laugh infuriated Fei Tian.

"These two are the most outstanding disciples of our Wind and Lightning Pavilion. I wonder if your academy has any students who'd like to play with them.

"Of course, we won't bully you. Even graduates who stayed at the academy and reached the Dou Wang level are welcome.

"In fact, even Dou Wang elders can take part. What do you all think?

"If you don't dare, Great Elder Su Qian can personally give them some pointers instead."

As Fei Tian spoke, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his fingers tapped lightly against the armrest beside him.

"Uh, that doesn't seem..." Seeing that even the academy elders who had merely been enjoying the spectacle were getting dragged into it,

some had initially wanted to refuse, but the murderous look in his eyes made them swallow their words.

Ah, forget it. Weren't they just two juniors? They could let those elders stretch their muscles.

In any case, they had never expected to witness a Dou Zong expert go on a drunken rampage today. Their lives had been worth living.
