Zhuque was the only woman among the four, in her forties, with a hint of maturity that still held a certain charm. Her beauty was comparable to Liu Liangmei's, though Zhuque's makeup was less elaborate, giving her a more valiant air.
"Mr. Jiang, let me pour you some wine!" Zhuque said with a smile. Jiang Chen did not refuse; he accepted the wine glass with ease.
In Zhuque's hand, a faint orange glow flickered as the liquor in the white porcelain bottle began to boil. When poured, it released a misty vapor.
The wine splashed into the glass, still swirling and steaming, looking quite hot. Yet Jiang Chen seemed unfazed and drank it down in one go.
Zhuque was taken aback; her skill appeared to be nothing in Jiang Chen's eyes. Was the temperature of the heated wine not high enough? She poured herself a glass and found it quite hot—was this young man not afraid of burning himself?
Seeing Jiang Chen finish his drink, she followed suit and downed hers as well, only to scorch her throat in the process. Thankfully, she managed to use her Inner Energy to ease the discomfort.
Li Yang was now fuming slightly; three of his four divine beasts had embarrassed themselves in front of Jiang Chen.
"Xuanwu, you haven't toasted Mr. Jiang yet. When you toast, show some real sincerity," Li Yang urged again, signaling him to demonstrate his true skills. In truth, the previous three had already shown their abilities, but they were simply not impressive enough for Jiang Chen.
Xuanwu was short and stout but stood up with a glass in hand, exuding a decent presence.
Jiang Chen had just finished his drink; he hadn’t called Qin Xiaoya over this time since she wouldn’t be of much help. He left her in the capital while Ye Xiaoying, the old man, quickly grabbed the bottle to refill Jiang Chen's glass.
Jiang Chen raised his cup and returned Xuanwu's toast from afar.
However, just as he was about to drink, Xuanwu spoke up again: "Wait a moment, Mr. Jiang! Drinking like this is rather dull. How about we play a drinking game to liven things up?"
"Sure! What do you have in mind?" Jiang Chen replied with a smile, not declining the suggestion.
"Since we are all Martial Artists, let's use our martial skills while drinking. Just watch," Xuanwu said as he placed his glass on the table. He then extended his hand and infused Inner Energy into the cup, swirling the liquid like a fine thread that directly entered his mouth.
"Good technique!" praised Zeng Xianyi’s two male instructors, clapping their hands in admiration.
Xuanwu finished the drink from his cup with satisfaction, smacking his lips proudly at his own skill.
This Inner Energy water control technique required great attention to detail and was not easy to master; Xuanwu had practiced for many years to achieve such finesse.
After Xuanwu's performance, all eyes naturally turned to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled; he found this little trick rather uninteresting and felt it was tedious. Drinking should be simple and straightforward—not turned into such a complicated affair that contradicted its very purpose.
"Mr. Jiang, you were invited here by my elder brother as the chief instructor of the Martial Arts Special Forces. Your martial arts skills must be profound beyond measure; surely you don't think much of Xuanwu's trivial abilities," Li Yang remarked with a teasing tone.
"Indeed, they are rather trivial skills. Since everyone is in high spirits and enjoys these antics, I can indulge you all. Drinking alone is no fun; let’s all drink together," Jiang Chen replied with a grin.
"????"
Everyone was puzzled, unsure of what Jiang Chen meant, wondering if he was changing the subject. Just as they were in doubt, Jiang Chen snapped his fingers and raised his right hand slightly. Suddenly, all the drinks in front of everyone floated into the air.
