The abstinent prince, practicing Buddhism, is seduced by a voluptuous beauty into breaking his vows.

The whole room fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Jingchen and Xie Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes—His Highness the Crown Prince wants to drink? And in a place like this?

Xiao Chenyuan's gaze swept over the group in the corner, his voice cold.

"go out."

Two simple words, yet they carry an intimidating aura.

The male prostitutes turned pale and didn't even dare to bow. They practically scrambled out of the room, thoughtfully closing the broken door behind them as they left.

Although the door could no longer be closed properly.

Only five people remained in the private room: Su Yaoyao, Xiao Chenyuan, Jiang Jingchen, Xie Yu, and... He Qing, who was still sitting right next to Su Yaoyao.

Instead of leaving, He Qing leisurely poured herself a cup of wine, her peach blossom eyes curving upwards: "This servant will serve the noble ladies a drink."

Excitement gleamed in his peach blossom eyes—he had never seen His Highness the Crown Prince drink before! How could he miss such a good opportunity?

Moreover, he felt that with his drinking capacity, getting these guys drunk was a piece of cake. Maybe he could even get some useful information out of them while they were drunk, so he could show off in front of that person.

He quickly filled the glass with wine.

"Please, Your Highness." He Qing smiled like a cat that had just stolen some cream. "This plum wine is the restaurant's signature dish. It's not strong, just right for someone who's drinking for the first time."

These words sound respectful, but they are actually laced with barbs.

Xiao Chenyuan lowered his eyes to look at the amber-colored liquid in the glass, said nothing, and raised his hand to drink it all in one gulp.

His movements were swift and decisive; his Adam's apple bobbed, and a drop of liquor slid down his chin and into his collar.

He Qing's eyes lit up, and he joined in.

Jiang Jingchen and Xie Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes—but the die was cast, and they had no choice but to proceed. They raised their glasses and drank.

After several rounds of drinks...

He Qing became more talkative: "I didn't expect Your Highness to have such a high alcohol tolerance... Come on, let's drink some more!"

He filled Xiao Chenyuan's cup again.

Xiao Chenyuan remained unfazed, accepting all comers without hesitation.

Jiang Jingchen and Xie Yu were initially tense, but later they relaxed, and the three men—no, the four—clinked glasses and secretly competed with each other.

No one noticed that Su Yaoyao's eyes were getting brighter and brighter in the corner.

She held the small wine pot, taking tiny sips, inwardly complaining: This ancient wine is so weak! It's supposed to be plum wine, but it's as sweet as a beverage, maybe a few degrees of alcohol!

In her past life, she was known as Sister Su, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. She was not afraid to mix white, red, and foreign liquors.

Since I got here, all I've been drinking is this sweet fruit wine, it's just not enough!

Seeing that the four people were drinking "heartily"—actually, they were just a little full from drinking too much low-alcohol fruit wine—Su Yaoyao finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Um..." she said hesitantly, raising her hand, "How about... we try a different kind of drink?"

All four of them turned to look at her at the same time.

He Qing was already slurring his words: "Young Master Su, what would you like to drink?"

Su Yaoyao's eyes lit up: "Do you have anything stronger? Like... Shaodaozi? Erguotou? Uh... the really spicy and pungent kind!"

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Jingchen frowned: "Yaoyao, you're a young lady..."

"I'm the young master now!" Su Yaoyao declared confidently. "Besides, since we're already here, it would be a waste not to drink something strong!"

She beckoned to the pimp: "Bring me your strongest liquor!"

The pimp hesitated: "Young master, our strongest drink here is 'Spring Breeze Intoxication,' it has a powerful aftereffect..."

"I want that one!" Su Yaoyao made her decision.

Soon, several jars of aged wine sealed in mud were brought up.

As soon as the jar was opened, the strong aroma of wine instantly overwhelmed the perfumed scent that filled the room.

Su Yaoyao took a deep breath, captivated—that's more like it!

She personally poured five bowls and pushed them in front of everyone: "Here, I'd like to toast you all!"

After saying that, he picked up the bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

His bold actions stunned the four men.

The liquor burns as it goes down your throat, carrying the rich aroma of grains.

Su Yaoyao sighed with satisfaction—although it still couldn't compare to the high-proof liquor of her previous life, at least it had some alcoholic flavor!

"Good wine!" She wiped her mouth, her eyes sparkling. "It's your turn!"

He Qing looked at the bowl of clear yet pungent wine, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he steeled himself to pick up the bowl.

Jiang Jingchen and Xie Yu also drank it, and both of them turned a little pale—the wine was indeed strong.

Only Xiao Chenyuan remained unfazed, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Yaoyao became interested: "Great! Let's do it again!"

She filled everyone's cups again.

Three bowls, four bowls, five bowls...

She wiped her mouth, a faint blush rising to her cheeks, but her eyes were clear. "Why aren't you drinking anymore? Come on! Keep going!"

The men were all stunned.

Xie Yu stared at her blankly, stammering, "Miss Su...you...you..."

"What do you mean, 'what the hell'?!" Su Yaoyao slammed her hand on the table, exuding an imposing aura. "If you're a man, keep drinking!"

She filled everyone's glasses, then poured herself another and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Jingchen: "..."

He Qing: "..."

After finishing countless bowls, He Qing slumped onto the table, muttering, "No, I can't take it anymore... Young Master Su... you... you're amazing..."

Jiang Jingchen and Xie Yu leaned on the table, their eyes looking a little unfocused.

Su Yaoyao, however, became more and more energetic with each drink, her cheeks flushed with a healthy rosy glow, her eyes shining like stars: "You're already down? Are you guys even capable?!"

She looked at Xiao Chenyuan.

His Highness the Crown Prince remained seated upright, his expression unchanged, though the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and his gaze... was more profound than usual.

He watched her quietly, watching her drink heartily, watching her bright eyes, watching her eyelashes tremble slightly with excitement.

"Your Highness?" Su Yaoyao tilted her head. "Would you like some more?"

Xiao Chenyuan didn't say anything, but simply picked up the bowl and drank it all.

Su Yaoyao smiled even more broadly: "Okay!"

She did it too.

After a few bowls, Jiang Jingchen and Xie Yu couldn't hold on any longer. Supporting each other, they stumbled and walked out.

"Yao, Yao...we, we'll...vomit first..."

Before he could finish speaking, he rushed out and vomited.

Only Su Yaoyao, Xiao Chenyuan, and He Qing, who was lying unconscious on the table, remained in the private room.

Su Yaoyao poured herself another drink, and just as she was about to drink, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Xiao Chenyuan's hands were very hot, but his touch was gentle.

"Don't drink anymore." His voice was a little hoarse, but still calm. "It's bad for your health."

Su Yaoyao blinked: "Your Highness is worried about me?"

Xiao Chenyuan didn't speak, he just looked at her.

His eyes were so deep, it was as if they could suck you in.

The touch of red at the corner of his eye added a bewitching beauty to his cool and aloof face, making him look like a heart-devouring demon.

Su Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that... this Crown Prince seemed even more alluring.

How can this person be so good-looking?

Due to the effects of the alcohol, her originally pale lips turned a bright red and glossy.

As if bewitched, Su Yaoyao slowly approached.

But just then—

"Bang!"

Xiao Chenyuan leaned forward, resting his forehead on her shoulder.

Su Yaoyao froze.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

no response.

She gently nudged him.

Following her pull, Xiao Chenyuan slid down softly and fell into her arms.

Su Yaoyao: "..."

So that composed demeanor just now was all an act?!

She helped him up, both amused and exasperated, and called out, "Ling Feng!"

The door was pushed open, and Ling Feng strode in. When he saw his master drunkenly slumped in Su Yaoyao's arms, his lips twitched: "...Miss Su."

"Get your master away quickly." Su Yaoyao pushed Xiao Chenyuan.

But Xiao Chenyuan's hand gripped her clothes tightly, refusing to let go.

Ling Feng tried to pry it open, but couldn't.

He looked at Su Yaoyao with a troubled expression: "Miss Su, how about... you go all the way and help me see His Highness off?"
