Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Young Master Fan, I didn’t mean that.”

The Fengmo Shengjian hurriedly tried to explain, but unfortunately, Fan Ruohai was not buying it.

Of course, given Fan Ruohai’s status and position, he would naturally not lower himself to deal with the Fengmo Shengjian, as that would be too low-level.

Moreover, the Fengmo Shengjian was also a formal member participating in the White Tiger Summit. If Fan Ruohai acted against him, it might bring trouble to the Fan Family.

Therefore, Fan Ruohai thought of a better idea.

”If you won’t let us sell wine to Ling Xiao, fine, then I will give him wine instead!”

This move of his was skillfully executed.

He originally intended to win over Ling Xiao but had no excuse. Now, he could take advantage of this situation to offer benefits to Ling Xiao.

He believed that Ling Xiao would accept it.

If for nothing else, just to spite the Fengmo Shengjian.

Sure enough, the Fengmo Shengjian’s face turned embarrassed and very unpleasant, as if he wished to crawl into a hole.

Fan Ruohai would rather give wine to that fake Ling Xiao than pay him any attention; his embarrassment was truly lamentable.

”Hehe, Young Master Fan, don’t be angry. The Fengmo Shengjian dares not disrespect you. Perhaps, for the sake of my face, you could spare him?”

The Princess Consort chuckled softly as she spoke at this moment.

”I naturally must give face to the Princess Consort, but I am always true to my word. Since I’ve already promised to give wine to Ling Xiao, I can’t take it back, can I?”

Fan Ruohai looked at the Princess Consort, a trace of cunning flickering in his eyes.

The Princess Consort cursed inwardly at how cunning this guy was, dragging her into the fray.

She had already pleaded for the Fengmo Shengjian. If she was stingy over a few bottles of wine, it would indeed be embarrassing.

For the royal family, especially the Princess Consort, face could be more important than life at times.

”Fine, the wine he wants, I shall gift it. However, I have a condition: I will only give him what he can drink on the spot; otherwise, if he wants to buy all the wine in Qijing Tower, I can’t do anything about it.”

The Princess Consort thought for a moment and then spoke.

This was a relatively prudent approach. She didn’t believe Ling Xiao could drink much, after all, the wine at Qijing Tower was not ordinary, even a martial artist with a Yin-Yang Realm cultivation would have to spend considerable time digesting one jar.

In her view, since Ling Xiao practiced body refining martial arts, his physique might be stronger than ordinary martial artists, but it shouldn’t exceed two or three jars.

”Alright.”

A sly smile passed over Fan Ruohai’s lips; if this Ling Xiao was indeed that Ling Xiao, then the Princess Consort might be in for a significant expense this time.

”Since the Princess Consort is so gracious, I’ll reluctantly accept. Let’s start with two jars of Five Poison Holy Wine.”

Ling Xiao also smiled.

Why wouldn’t he drink the wine given for free?

”Servants, bring the wine!”

The Princess Consort beckoned lightly, and two jars of Five Poison Holy Wine, with a distinctive aroma, were placed on her table.

”Catch it!”

The Princess Consort’s wine was naturally not so easily consumed.

She suddenly slapped the table, causing one wine jar to fly into the air and spin violently mid-air.

She then lightly tapped the jar again.

The jar accelerated instantly, shooting towards Ling Xiao.

At this moment, the wine jar was not only spinning rapidly but also continuously rotating in mid-air.

The Princess Consort clearly intended to embarrass Ling Xiao.

If one’s inner strength control wasn’t precise enough, the jar would shatter upon contact.

Ling Xiao would be humiliated, allowing the Princess Consort to vent her frustration at the very least.

The onlookers were all experts, naturally able to see this, and some smirked with schadenfreude.

But Liu Lian looked somewhat worried.

Fan Ruohai maintained a smiling demeanor, giving no hint of his thoughts.

”Thank you, Princess Consort, for the wine!”

Ling Xiao suddenly reached out to grab the jar, without any technique at all.

The crowd saw this and secretly thought: Just as expected, a brute, definitely not the real Ling Xiao.

Fengmo Shengjian and Shui Shen Zi were waiting to see Ling Xiao make a fool of himself.

They knew as soon as Ling Xiao’s hand touched the jar, it would inevitably shatter instantly.

However, what happened next left them dumbfounded.

Ling Xiao’s hand grabbed the jar, yet it didn’t shatter.

Not only did it not shatter, but all its spinning and momentum instantly ceased.

The jar was steadily held in Ling Xiao’s hand, and not a drop of wine fell out.

”Hahaha!”

Ling Xiao laughed heartily and then began drinking in large gulps.

”Marvelous! Truly wonderful! This wine is indeed flavorful!”

Ling Xiao chose the Five Poison Holy Wine for a reason.

The Five Poison Holy Wine is brewed using five potent poisons as ingredients, designed to immensely stimulate every cell in a martial artist’s body, unleashing more of the martial artist’s potential.

It allows a martial artist’s body to be tempered.

Although Ling Xiao’s cultivation had fully recovered, he still sensed a vast amount of energy within his cells needing to be absorbed.

If he absorbed this energy, his cultivation might even continue to break through.

For others, ingesting the Five Poison Holy Wine would be excruciating, tearing at the innards, possibly leading to death if one’s body was slightly weak.

But for Ling Xiao, the Five Poison Holy Wine was an excellent tonic.

”I’m returning the wine jar!”

After finishing the wine, Ling Xiao suddenly threw the jar back.

His mouth held a hint of a sneer.

The Princess Consort wanted him to lose face, but he wouldn’t let it go easily.

”Bold!”

Just then, the Fengmo Shengjian sitting next to the Princess Consort sprang out, reaching to catch the jar.

Whether the Princess Consort could catch the jar or not, it was an insult to her.

So the Fengmo Shengjian had to step in to block it.

After all, the Princess Consort had gifted Ling Xiao the wine because of him.

”Crash!”

The seemingly stable jar shattered in the Fengmo Shengjian’s hand, with shards flying out, prompting nearby martial artists to use their inner strength to defend themselves.

The Fengmo Shengjian, being the first to confront it, wasn’t injured but appeared incredibly embarrassed.

”Hehe, I was merely returning the Princess Consort’s inner strength. You’re to blame if you wanted to play the hero and ended up humiliated.”

Ling Xiao glanced at the Fengmo Shengjian and chuckled, shaking his head.

The onlookers now regarded Ling Xiao with a newfound respect.

He was clearly not as brutish as he appeared on the surface.

He could forcibly suppress the inner strength that the Princess Consort infused into the jar and return it.

This level of control was not something ordinary people could achieve.

”Princess Consort, continue. How could one jar of such splendid wine be enough?”

Ling Xiao, ignoring the hapless Fengmo Shengjian, turned to the Princess Consort.

He vowed to drink the Princess Consort into bankruptcy today, or he wasn’t Ling Xiao.

”What is this boy’s body made of?”

”Does body refining martial arts truly have such powerful effects?”

The crowd was astounded to hear Ling Xiao ask for more wine.
