Chapter 551 - The Wine Contest Against the Emperor (2/2)
The Third Prince knew that there was no way they could avoid the duel after seeing the reactions from the princes. He immediately transmitted his voice to Qin Nan, “Duan Qing, since First Prince is so confident, this black-robed person must be extraordinary. Be careful.” He hesitated before continuing, “Don’t force it, just try your best…”
Duan Qing had already shown his strength, but the First Prince still dared to send the black-robed person, implying that she possessed a tremendous cultivation.
Qin Nan’s lips curled upward.
This was what he had planned for, to have a duel against the Death Emperor without him noticing that something was fishy, in order to get his revenge.
“Hang on a second.” The First Prince wore a grin as a sudden thought came up to him, “Third Brother, how about this—I’m afraid that a normal Wine Contest would not be exciting enough. I will place my Five-Flowered Godly Brew as the bet, and you will bet your precious Heart-Uniting Liquid too. The one who loses shall hand his respective wine over.”
What a crazy bet!
The princes were astonished.
They clearly knew that their father was in favor of wines. Therefore, most of them had the same interest in order to appeal to their father.
Both the Five-Flowered Godly Brew and the Heart-Uniting Liquid that the First Prince had mentioned were priceless wines. Even ten Emperor Weapons could not be traded with a single jar of the wines. Normally, even the First Prince and the Third Prince were unwilling to drink the wines themselves, unless they were offering them to their father.
“It appears that Eldest Brother is extremely confident that he would win the contest…”
The same thought appeared in the minds of the princes.
The Third Prince was aware of this too, causing him to wear a stern look.
If he were to accept the bet, it would serve as a great loss if he ended up losing. On the other hand, if he chose not to accept, the effect from the fact that Duan Qing had sent three geniuses of the White Tiger Platoon flying would be minimized, as the public would assume him to be ‘scared of troubles’ and to be ‘mismatched against the First Prince’.
Now was not the time for him to be hesitant any longer.
“Accept it.”
Qin Nan transmitted his voice to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was slightly startled. He raised his head and saw the calm expression in Qin Nan’s eyes, as if the victory was on his side. The look in his eyes caused the Third Prince to recollect how he had been pretending to be weak on the surface but was manipulating behind the scenes confidently over the past ten years.
Every man, regardless of their identity, was able to become something great if there was a will to do so.
If it succeeded, it would serve as a great motivation.
If it failed, then start again!
The struggle in the Third Prince’s heart dissipated as he waved his hand and said, “Since Eldest Brother is so keen, how could I let you down? We shall place our Heart-Uniting Liquid and Five-Flowered Godly Brew as our bet!”
The other princes held their breaths and subconsciously straightened their figures.
The Wine Contest was no longer an ordinary one; it was the spark of the battle between the First Prince and the Third Prince.
The eyes of the First Prince flickered with joy.
He was extremely confident in winning the Wine Contest.
The reason being that even though Cultivator Jiang’s cultivation was only at the half-Martial Highness Realm, she could easily face a second-layer Martial Highness. Even the peak Martial Highness Realm butler in his residence had said that her cultivation was immeasurable.
Even though Duan Qing was strong, could he be stronger than Cultivator Jiang?
“Cultivator Jiang, it’s all up to you now. If you win, I’ll give you the Heart-Uniting Liquid.” The First Prince transmitted his voice to the Death Emperor with a respectful tone.
“The Heart-Uniting Liquid? Why would I be fond of such a low-class wine…”
Jiang Bilan’s eyes flickered disdainfully, but on a second thought, “That being said, it’s been a few thousand years since I last had some wine. Fine, I’ll show these vulgar people the elegance of an emperor.”
Having this thought, Jiang Bilan rose from her seat and proceeded to the center of the hall.
She came to a stop and raised her head. Her eyes stared at Qin Nan coldly, “You’re Duan Qing, right? Your strength is still not too bad, somewhat worthy to be my opponent. Come, show me your true strength—I’ll allow you to take three moves in advance.”
The words were spoken in an indifferent manner, as if a giant was looking down at an ant.
