Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 339 Pride Crumbles Silently

"Pfft, hahaha! My goodness, little sister, why are you in such a miserable state? Hahaha! I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore, hahaha!"

pang! pang! pang!

The sound of tapping on the table continued. That night, in a private room at the Mingde Hotel, Xiao Hongchen was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe. His right hand and head were pressed against the table, while his left hand kept tapping the table to vent his laughter.

Not far away, Meng Hongchen's figure seemed to have turned grayish-white, and he leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat lifeless.

She no longer knows how to evaluate her own taste or her history of unrequited love.

She fell in love with three men, but each one was the best of the best. Two of them were already reserved by other women, and the last one wasn't even a man; he was a woman dressed as a man!

###—

Why did this kind of thing have to happen to her, and why did her own brother have to find out about it?

What should I do if I feel like there's no point in living anymore?

"Miss Meng Hongchen's luck is indeed not very good. Everyone was shocked when they found out that Wang Dong was a girl, especially that kid Huo Yuhao. You don't know, they were roommates when they entered school and even had a martial soul fusion skill. It can only be said that fate is cruel."

Swirling the wine glass in his hand, Ning Wuque reminisced about the past and shared amusing anecdotes.

Upon hearing this latest bombshell news, Xiao Hongchen suddenly thought of Vina, who was already engaged to Huo Yuhao. After a long pause, he finally smiled and said, "Doesn't that mean...?"

"That's right, just like you think. Huo Yuhao is in a dilemma right now. The Human King Dong'er is the adopted daughter of the Haotian Sect Master. This is a situation that even I can't solve."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, such a pity! I wish I could witness the scene of love turning into hate, but I can't see the expression on Princess Tianhun's face when she was NTR'd. What a pity! Come on, let's do it!"

"Dry!"

Holding his wine cup up, Ning Wuque clinked it against Xiao Hongchen's before downing the wine in one gulp.

As for why Xiao Hongchen didn't pursue Ning Wuque's actions during the day, in fact, he had already begun to strongly condemn them when they first gathered in the private room.

Left with no other choice, Ning Wuque had to punish himself with three cups of wine as an apology, and add the amusing incident from Meng Hongchen earlier that day to conclude the matter.

So, in fact, Meng Hongchen is experiencing two blows. The first was when she learned that Wang Dong was a girl and felt like she had no will to live. This time, she felt like life had lost its fun after being ridiculed by her brother.

This is social death.

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa came to see me this afternoon. Guess what he said?"

After finishing their drinks and chatting about interesting anecdotes, Xiao Hongchen took the opportunity of the dinner to talk about other things, not really important matters, but his tone sounded somewhat like he was complaining.

Having anticipated this, Ning Wuque, though already having a general idea of ​​why Jing Hongchen went to see Xiao Hongchen, still cooperated and asked, "What?"

"He told me to directly concede defeat to the Holy Spirit Sect in the finals the day after tomorrow, saying it was the Emperor's word, truly—"

well!"

With a sigh, Xiao Hongchen's pride shattered at that moment, as his grandfather's words struck him like a hammer blow.

To make him admit defeat to the evil spirit master? To admit defeat without even fighting? And in front of everyone, during a major tournament watched by both the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent? What a joke!

Putting down his wine glass, Ning Wuque picked up a piece of meat roll with his fork, chewed it a couple of times, and then comforted them, saying, "It's alright. You've already proven your talent, haven't you? In my opinion, it's precisely because the Holy Spirit Sect is bound to lose to you that they resorted to such underhanded tactics. Your Ascension Soul Tool is a bit too much of a counter to them; ordinary evil soul masters can't even get a chance to use it."

"Hmph! It's precisely because I know that I'm upset, sigh—but these are Grandpa's words, what can I do?"

'

After downing a glass of red wine, Xiao Hongchen didn't use his soul power to counteract the effects of the alcohol, and even let his brain be numbed by the alcohol, leaving it in a blank state.

He owed his grandfather so much. Although he had the pride of a genius, that pride faded a lot as he grew up. Compared to that pride, he valued friendship with like-minded people more and cared more about his elderly grandfather.

Ning Wuque couldn't say anything bad about it; he simply raised his glass again and clinked it with Xiao Hongchen's, keeping him company.

Beside Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen unconsciously sat up after the conversation reached this point, and took the initiative to help her brother, who was drunk and destitute, to steady him.

Soon, after several rounds of drinks...

"It's getting late, Miss Meng Hongchen. Would you like me to escort you? (And laugh at him in this state—)"

—That is indeed a bit troublesome.

Ning Wuque, still feeling the effects of the alcohol, shook his head. He didn't use his soul power to dispel the alcohol from his body. This drowsy feeling was not only not unpleasant for him, but even a rare enjoyment and comfort.

Sometimes, being awake for too long can make you feel tired, but when you're almost unable to rest, you can't effectively relieve that fatigue.

Sleep is a gift from heaven to every living thing. Losing sleep can indeed give you more time and greater strength, but the price is also very obvious.

"No need for that, Wuque. I'll take my brother back myself. You still have two wives waiting for you there. I suggest you take a shower and sober up."

"No need, no need~ They won't mind too much. Okay, I'll be going now, see you later."

See you later.

After saying goodbye to Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, Ning Wuque went to the front desk to pay the bill and then leisurely returned to the hotel, enjoying the cold wind.

Click~

Pushing open the door, Ning Wuque, still bubbling with alcohol, was greeted by a somewhat helpless Ning Tian and an eager Wu Feng.

Although it was already 10 p.m., neither of them took a shower. Instead, they sat together reading (or perhaps, in some way, reading a book) while waiting for each other.

"How is it?"

"Everything went smoothly. Xiao is still very easy to talk to. Let's just let this matter rest."

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Wuque."

At Ning Tian's prompting, Wu Feng awkwardly approached Ning Wuque and apologized. The latter gently shook his head and reached out to rub her head.

"Hiccup~"

After letting out a hiccup, Ning Wuque squinted and leaned on Wu Feng's shoulder, whispering, "It's okay. It's most adorable when Feng-mei is being coquettish and making little requests of me like this. But we can't stay too long today, okay? I need to recover a bit tomorrow to prepare for my battle with Long Aotian."

"Hehe~ Sister Tian, ​​see? I told you Wuque didn't care about these things!"

"Alright, alright, but even so, you can't do that next time."

"Okay, okay, time for a bath!"
