Chapter 245 (1/2)

That night, the Ling Family hosted a magnificent family banquet, and both Ling Xiao and Ling Tian father and son drank themselves silly, to the point they lost consciousness. The both of them made Chu Ting'er as well as Ling Chen so heartbroken that they kept crying.

The two women were completely puzzled, just what was wrong with the two of them? They would hardly exchange a word for months, and now they're suddenly drinking wine together like best buddies? And they even got themselves drunk!

Recalling their expressions, Chu Ting'er and Ling Chen were fuming, yet secretly found it funny.

Just when both of them started to see double, Ling Xiao had suddenly performed a military salute, before speaking.

Ling Xiao patted Ling Tian on his shoulder, staring at him with his drunken eyes, ”Not bad, urrrppp, brother, you're not bad at all. This elder brother really… looks up to you.”

Ling Tian was equally in a mess, replying, ”What's that nonsense… We're brothers, why should we look up to each other. Come, cheers!”

Ling Xiao: ”Today's wine… tastes good to this elder brother! I'll drink my fill!”

Ling Tian: ”Hmph! This wine… This younger brother has much of it… drink as much as you want!”

Ling Xiao: ”Hahaha… brother is really… easy-going… later, give this brother… some… of your wine!”

Ling Tian smacked his chest: ”No… no problem!”

Listening to their antics, the entire great hall went into hysterics. Old Madam Ling laughed so hard she coughed out the wine that she just drank; while Chu Ting'er spat out the mouth of wine she had just taken onto Ling Chen, leaving her dripping wet. Ling Chen was laughing so hard she had unknowingly upended her cup, spilling the wine all over the table...

Even the moody and depressed Ling Zhan couldn't help but crack out a smile, kicking Ling Xiao's body, ”D*mn you b*st*rd! What nonsense are you spouting? He's your son!” However, due to Ling Xiao's st.u.r.dy build, coupled with his drunken state, this kick had totally no feeling, only managing to knock him off his chair where he immediately started snoring on the floor….

When the rest turned to Ling Tian, they unexpectedly found out that he had long planted his handsome face into a bowl of fish soup, steadily and slowing breathing… this was definitely the highest stage of drunkenness; silently fading into darkness...

On the journey back previously, both father and son had a long talk about a lot of issues and had opened up to each other. Both were equally pleased; the son thought that having such a father was a blessing to him, while the father felt that having such a son was a matter to be proud of! Thus they were very happy and ended up drinking a little more than expected.

However, on the morning of the second day, the happiness between the two was broken!

Because he was too happy, Ling Tian had brought out his own wines for the banquet. The men were given the Luna Fragrance and Hero's Blood, while the women drank the Maiden's Heart. Everyone indulged in the heavenly wines.

However, on the morning of the next day, after freshening up, Ling Tian had, as per normal, sat under the grape racks to meditate and recuperate. In a moment, Ling Xiao strolled in, impolitely opening his mouth and saying, ”Son, those wines that you took out last night, give your old man another thousand jars. I'm thinking of bringing them to the army for the lads to enjoy them!”

”One… ONE THOUSAND??!!” Ling Tian jumped up as though he was a cat that just had its tail stepped on, even his voice went up by an octave, ”Father, do you think this is a mountain pebble? One thousand jars, even if you behead me I can't take out that much!”

Such good wine, it's good that I even let you gorge yourself at home for free, but to think you want to bring it over to the barracks to reward your soldiers! And to think you ask for a thousand jars the moment you open your mouth!

Ling Tian thought in fury.

”Oh, then five hundred jars should do; that settles it.” Ling Xiao also felt that a thousand was pus.h.i.+ng it and generously reduced it to half.

”I don't even have five jars, let alone five hundred!” Ling Tian snorted in anger. To think that he was so touched that he broke into tears yesterday, but how come he reverted to his old ways so soon?

”B*ast*rd!” Ling Xiao also flared up. ”How many do you still have? Take them all out for your old man!”

”There are only two left.” Ling Tian nimbly drew out two jars, and spreading out his hands, he put on the att.i.tude of a hoodlum. ”I don't have any left. Not even a drop. If you want it, just take it. Else the deal is off.”

Want to take my wine to give to the troops of that dogsh*t emperor? Forget about it!

”You little brat, do you think that you've all grown up now?” Ling Xiao grabbed onto Ling Tian's collar with a hand, sneering in anger, ”If this old man doesn't beat you up today, you probably won't know I'm your father! I've raised you for so many years, but you are calculating with me over a few jars of wine!”
