Chapter 230: Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes, Zi Yan Gets Drunk!
They say that drunkenness reveals true feelings, and it certainly did tonight.
Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao two of the Inner Academy's top figures both confessed after a few drinks that they liked Han Yue.
How could they not?
She was stunning, a true genius, and in an academy where men outnumbered women, even a plain looking girl was considered a treasure let alone someone as breathtaking as Han Yue.
Even Liu Qing's cousin, Liu Fei, had a long list of admirers. So it was no surprise that the number one beauty of the Inner Academy, Han Yue, was the dream girl of countless strong figures.
Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao were no exception. After all, among all the women in the Inner Academy, only Han Yue was worthy of them.
Wu Tian, upon hearing their confessions, was overjoyed.
He happily drank with them… except he never actually got drunk.
With his control over Heavenly Flames, alcohol evaporated instantly in his body. It was basically just water to him.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao drank themselves unconscious and had to be carried back to their respective residences by members of the Ri Yan Alliance.
Daring to covet my future bedwarmer?
You should count yourselves lucky that I didn't make you end up like Liu Qing.
Wu Tian smirked, already planning a "surprise" for when they woke up tomorrow.
Leaving the room, he stretched lazily.
"Liu Qing still hasn't woken up? Was he really that traumatized?"
"Guess he won't be getting up until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Looks like I'll have to wait to 'enlighten' him."
Hands behind his back, Wu Tian strolled toward his own quarters.
As the leader of the Ri Yan Alliance, he could live wherever he pleased. But…
He just happened to prefer the room where Xun Er and Hu Jia slept.
It was cozy.
And warm.
When he reached his door, he paused.
From inside, he could hear the laughter and teasing of three women.
"So even women have drinking parties, huh?"
"Xun Er and Hu Jia are drinking? …That's amazing!"
"What more could a man ask for?"
"Well, maybe… two more bedwarmers?"
Inside, their conversation made his heart race.
"Yue jie, you don't know how bad Wu Tian ge was back then!"
"Oh? How bad? Hehe~"
"No, it's not like that… but back at the teahouse "
"Hehehe~"
"Xun Er, you little vixen! You were keeping him all to yourself!"
"Hmph! If you hog him again, I'll… Hehehe~"
"Hu Jia jie, you always bully me. Why don't you bully Wu Tian ge at night instead?"
"Of course not! My temperament isn't suited for that. If anyone should 'bully' him at night, it should be Yue jie!"
"H Huh?! Me?!"
Han Yue, already slightly tipsy, blushed an even deeper red as she was dragged into the teasing.
"Hu Jia, what are you saying?! This is only my second time meeting Wu Tian ge! How could I possibly… at night… in bed…?"
"Hehehe~"
"Yue jie, you already called him 'Wu Tian ge'~ We never said anything about the night or the bed, but you did!"
"Ahh! You two are terrible! Hmph!"
Han Yue turned her face away, feigning anger.
"Yue jie, don't be mad~ We were just joking~"
"Hehe~ We wouldn't dare tease you… If we were going to tease someone, it'd be Wu Tian ge instead "
"Ahh! We're sorry! Yue jie, we're sorry!"
"Haha~ Stop! That tickles! We're sorry, we're sorry!"
Wu Tian leaned against the wall outside, a smug smile on his face.
"Ah, the secrets of a women's chamber… truly exhilarating."
"But with things like this, I can't just walk in now!"
"Guess I'll have to wait until they 'soften up' before going in to 'collect the net' "
"Cough! I mean… to rest!"
Suddenly
"Wu Tian ge, why are you hiding out here?"
A soft, childish voice called from behind.
Wu Tian's smile froze.
Without turning around, he already knew who it was.
Zi Yan.
Standing behind him, staring at him with a sweet, innocent smile.
Wu Tian's lips twitched.
"With this little demon here… my entire plan is ruined."
Zi Yan, of course, cared nothing for his schemes.
With light, playful steps, she bounced into the room.
The moment she entered, she pouted.
"Huh?! Not only was Wu Tian ge playing hide and seek outside, but you guys were drinking without me?! That's so mean!"
"Pfft !"
The three women instantly spit out their wine.
Wu Tian had been outside the whole time?!
Their faces turned bright red in embarrassment.
Realizing he had been caught, Wu Tian had no choice but to step inside and wave awkwardly.
However
Before he could say anything…
"GULP! GULP! GULP!"
Zi Yan grabbed a large jar of wine and began chugging it down.
Everyone froze.
This…
This was insane!
In mere seconds, the entire jar was empty.
Wu Tian rushed over.
"Zi Yan, you can't drink so much! This is alcohol!"
Zi Yan rolled her eyes.
"Wu Tian ge, you underestimate me! I can eat whole herbs by the handful! A little wine is nothing!"
"If I wanted to get drunk, I could get drunk anytime I "
"I'm drunk now!"
Before she could even finish speaking, her small body went limp and collapsed onto the table.
Everyone: …
Wu Tian: …
"Did she… just pretend to get drunk?!"
The three women stared at each other.
They had never seen anyone drink like that before.
Wu Tian sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"Zi Yan really knows how to cause trouble…"
Xun Er gently picked up Zi Yan and laid her on their bed.
(Yes, their bed. Wu Tian's bed.)
With Zi Yan passed out, the room fell silent.
Plans really couldn't keep up with change.
Wu Tian looked at the three beauties, then chuckled.
"Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao drank too much, so I left early."
Xun Er and Hu Jia exchanged knowing glances before giggling.
"Oh? That wasn't our fault~"
Meanwhile, Han Yue…
Han Yue, the once cold and distant beauty, was now a blushing, shy girl with her head bowed.
Her heart pounded.
"He… he was outside the whole time?"
"Did he hear everything?!"
She panicked.
"Xun Er and Hu Jia have been with him for a long time. They even sleep in the same room! That's normal for them!"
"But I… I'm different!"
"I don't usually act like this! What if he thinks I was just pretending?!"
"What if he doesn't like me?!"
In her nervousness, she blurted out:
"Wu Tian ge… c can I ask you for a favor?"
…
