Jun Mo Xie patted his thigh, and crisp ‘pop’ sound echoed He then raised a bottle of wine off the table, and put one of his feet on the chair He raised his head upwards, drank a ht for a while Then, he looked upwards once more, drank a mouthful of wine, and continued to ponder
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Jun Mo Xie Even the Emperor was no exception There was look of interest and a faint trace of coldness in the Emperor’s eyes He would have to re-assess the Jun Family if Jun Mo Xie was able to cou Xiao Yi and Princess Ling Meng gazed at hi to win? He will have to face a lot of embarrassment if his verse isn’t up to the mark…] However, they didn’t speak up since they didn’t wish to disturb his thoughts
However, Dugu Ying became anxious as he saw Jun Mo Xie devour over half of the wine bottle, “Hey…! You aren’t using this opportunity to drink extra wine, right?”
Dugu Xiao Yi ferociously shot a glance towards her elder brother, “No one else see scratched his head in confusion He remained seated as his helpless eyes remained affixed to the wine-bottle in Jun Mo Xie’s hand…
Suddenly!
Jun Mo Xie raised his right hand and snapped his fingers ‘Click!’ A clear and crisp sound echoed as he said, “I’ve got it!”
Everyone anxiously listened as Jun Mo Xie complacently recited his counter-verse, “The streets s’s sht stinks Sht stinks shit stinks, and shi+ty sht stinks To have one’s nao down in history — a scholar must sht the most stinky sht!”
It seemed as if everyone had been thunderstruck!

“Who can dare to say that I’? I’ve balanced the unbalanced!” Jun Mo Xie rabbed a crab, efficiently fished out the meat, put it in his mouth, and started to chew
Everyone watched as he started to chew that yellow-colored crab meat Suddenly, everyone’s complexion turned pale as they recalled the counter-verse he had just spoken…
