A gust of cold wind blew past, causing Xie Qingrong to shake her shoulders slightly. She immediately put the white cloak on Xie Qingrong.
"Let's go." Holding Xie Qingrong's hand, they walked towards the stage of the Wine Day's banquet.
Xuanyuan Changge had disturbed Xie Qingrong's rest just now, so she felt somewhat guilty and silently walked behind Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong while Lin Mu silently accompanied her by her side.
The Mo Bei was different from the other festivals, and unlike the poetry meet, there were many literati with outstanding talents.
In this world of ice and snow where the cold wind blew, a pot of wine could be scalded, one could think lightly, or gulp down large bowls. Everything was based on one's preferences, every banquet guest who came to Wine Day were people who were extremely addicted to alcohol.
And the year before, when the Wine Day began, the host of the banquet invited the guests in all four directions to change the flow of the Wine Day, and then added on a program to cheer the Wine Day on.
Xuanyuan Chen was acquainted with the host of the banquet, so upon hearing that they were coming, he had already prepared a private room.
"Your Highness, Princess, please do as you please." After the host of the feast welcomed Xuanyuan Chen, he instructed a servant to stand outside the private room, ready to receive orders from the guests.
"Royal brother, what kind of holiday is this Wine Day?" Why was it that almost all the people who came here were men, and all of them were men with broad shoulders and broad waists!
It was just that Xuanyuan Changge did not say the following words, and only dared to criticise in her heart.
"This is a man's holiday." Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, but he did not give any specific explanation for Xuanyuan Changge.
In the Wine Day, alcohol was the theme of this holiday. In this world, there were tens of millions of people drinking, but the number of people drinking was extremely few.
It was a very cold weather in Mo Bei. Drinking alcohol could stimulate the circulation of one's body and quickly produce heat, which was why a festival related to alcohol would appear in Mo Bei. Furthermore, before drinking the wine, the owner had to first chant a few words, which was why he eventually became Wine Day.
It had evolved until now and became the one and only festival in Mo Bei.
Xie Qingrong squinted his eyes, the dangerous aura in his eyes was concealed by her long eyelashes, and she said disdainfully: "Could it be that Wine Day rules forbade women from drinking alcohol?"
Xuanyuan Chen held the exquisite silver cup of wine, the wine in the cup had already been filled, the transparent liquid was releasing the fragrance of the wine, with a light sip, the warm wine passed by his throat, bringing about waves after waves of spiciness and bitterness.
However, his stomach was slowly filled with warmth.
Laughing softly, he did not try to defend himself: "A Rong, looking down, knows if Wine Day has such a rule."
Xie Qingrong suspiciously looked at the round table on the first floor. There were five well-built, robust men standing there. And to their far right stood a slim yet graceful woman with delicate features.
He lightly tapped his finger on the table. It seemed that she was a weak girl who was powerless, but she did not dare to underestimate anyone who looked ordinary, but was actually extremely dangerous, especially women!
"What are you trying to do?" Xuanyuan Changge asked in confusion.
The host had just finished chanting the words, signaling the official start of Wine Day.
On the round table, there was a jug of wine in front of the six of them. Each of them had a jug of wine in front of them.
"It should be a competition." Xie Qingrong said.
"The first round of the toast will officially begin. In front of you, there is an identical wine jar. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you can drink as much as you want. The top three who drink the most will be able to enter the next round. If someone can finish all of this wine, they can also get an additional reward. "
The host of the feast waved his hand, and an attendant immediately lit up the incense on the table.
The five burly men immediately picked up a wine jar beside the wine vat, filled it with wine, and gulped down large mouthfuls of it.
The aroma of wine filled the air. Under the bright lights, the transparent wine was like a vivid ray of light.
The onlookers outside the round table were also infected by the atmosphere.
However, unlike the five men who were wolfing down the wine, the woman on the right maintained her leisurely posture as she leisurely filled the jar with wine and took gulps after mouthfuls.
Her graceful movements were indescribable, but her body seemed to have an innate noble aura, attracting everyone's gazes.
Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes, her hand pressing on the window frame, her fingers kept tapping on it, starting from the first action the woman made, she had a flash of understanding in her heart.
So it was like that.
If her instincts were right, this woman would probably be the last winner.
Xuanyuan Changge looked at the woman with a bit of worry, "With how slow she is, it doesn't look like she came to participate in the competition! "No, I can't just watch as she loses!"
Just as she was about to cheer for the woman, Lin Mu quickly pulled Xuanyuan Changge along and pulled him into her embrace. He covered her mouth, shook his head, and stopped her: "Don't mess around."
Xuanyuan Changge glared at Lin Mu, pushed his hand away, and said fiercely: "Got it!"
Xie Qingrong leaned lazily on the window frame, with a bland expression, she smiled: "She will not lose the first round."
The five men, whose stomachs were already filled with wine, watched the remaining half of the wine in the wine vat with difficulty. They helplessly continued their actions just now, but their movements had already started to slow down.
The girl glanced at them sideways. She already understood the situation they were in and let out a disdainful sneer before speeding up her actions.
The amount of wine in the wine vat gradually decreased. As time passed, the wine vat was about to reach its end. The five men at the side looked at the girl in admiration as she continued to drink her wine.
When the incense stick burned away the last bit of the ashes, the woman had also just swallowed the last mouthful of wine from her wine jar.
It was done just right.
The host told everyone the results of the first round of the competition. Everyone was immediately shocked, and their gazes all fell on the girl in admiration.
Not only did this woman obtain first place, she had also finished drinking all the wine in the vat. She was almost the strongest person in all of Wine Day's history.
More importantly, she was a woman!
"What's the extra reward?" However, to her surprise, she was not interested in entering the next round. Instead, she was asking about the rewards.
The attendant respectfully handed the parchment to the host. He passed it to the woman and said solemnly, "This is a long-lost recipe for wine."
"Yes." The woman didn't even spare him a glance as she casually kept the parchment in her bosom, as if she didn't care in the least.
However, the light that quickly flashed past the lady's eyes was caught by Xie Qingrong, who was upstairs, as a smile that had unknown meaning appeared in his eyes.
It's interesting that they don't look the same on the surface.
A quarter of an hour later, the second round of the competition officially began. The round tables had already been cleaned up.
