Chapter 292: This Brat Is Playing Tricks
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor, an old fox, hesitated!
This was because Lin Ming had drunk more than Xing Tian and the others could drink.
As of now, even he couldn’t take it anymore as he had no way of unraveling the Laws of the wine he brewed.
Although they had existed for so long, they were still physical beings.
Because they were born in the void, their original physical bodies were also born in the void.
As such, it could be said that it was harder for them to perform the self-severing that would cut the ties between body and soul than it was for them to die!
Therefore, although Lin Ming could use the fact that he was now a soul to cheat the laws, the Heavenly Emperor and the others couldn’t.
“This brat is playing tricks,” Lord Laotse lowered his head and smiled.
This little brat had only cultivated for less than a hundred days, yet he was quite scheming.
He used the fact his body was only a soul now to cheat and was even trying to make the Heavenly Emperor drunk.
Besides Lin Ming, Lord Laotse was the only one who had performed self-severing.
Therefore, he was aware of the reason Lin Ming could drink so much celestial wine without getting drunk.
After all, he had used this method a long time ago as well.
After drinking this glass of wine, the Heavenly Emperor became energetic. He actually walked down from the top and grabbed Lin Ming, wanting to exchange another toast!
At this moment, Lin Ming could clearly tell that the Heavenly Emperor had definitely had too much to drink!
Because Lin Ming had seen such a drunken state before on Earth.
However, just as the Heavenly Emperor was about to drink another glass of wine again, a voice appeared, “Alright, stop drinking.”
As this voice appeared, everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
“The Queen Mother?” Lin Ming frowned.
Lin Ming could tell at first glance who the person was through the appearance of her figure.
This was because her temperament was something that no one could imitate.
With the appearance of the Queen Mother, the Heavenly Emperor seemed to have sobered up as he quickly put away his wine glass.
“I’ve already told you that you shouldn’t drink too much, but look what you’re doing now. If you make a fool of yourself today, you’re implicating me as well,” After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she left on the spot.
The Heavenly Emperor briefly smiled before actually putting away his wine glass!
“Good lad. This is the first time you’ve drunk my celestial wine, and you’ve already displayed such magnanimity. To be able to cultivate to such a level within a hundred days, you’re indeed not simple,” The Heavenly Emperor touched his nose and said.
“Senior, you flatter me,” Lin Ming quickly said.
Lin Ming was a little disappointed. If not for the appearance of the Queen Mother, he would have had the chance to make the Heavenly Emperor drunk today.
As the guests changed toasts, the Heavenly Emperor’s birthday celebration ended.
Lin Ming received a peach of immortality.
This was a treasure that could increase one’s lifespan by a thousand years!
“If you eat this peach of immortality, I can guarantee that you won’t experience Heaven’s Tribulations in the void for a thousand years. This is a treasure, you must keep it well,” Xing Tian said to Lin Ming.
“It’s just Heaven’s Tribulations in the void. Let it fall,” Lin Ming smiled and waved his hand.
“You’re underestimating the void’s Heaven Tribulations too much. Every time they fall, they will be one fold stronger than the last time. In the end, if you don’t have any means to deal with Heaven’s Tribulations, you won’t be able to survive them,” Xing Tian hurriedly explained to Lin Ming.
It could be seen that although Xing Tian was a battle maniac, he was also a warm-hearted person.
After all, here, everyone wished for others to die so that they could reap the benefits.
However, Xing Tian was still patient to say so much to Lin Ming. It was enough to prove his warm-heartedness.
“The peach of immortality is a treasure that can help you avoid Heaven’s Tribulations. Ordinary people can’t get their hands on one at all. Even I can only get one from the Heavenly Emperor every thousand years,” Xing Tian said with some envy.
A day here was extremely long since it was equivalent to a year on the ground.
A day on the ground was not equivalent to a day in the sky, as a day in the sky was simply too long!
It was as long as a year on the ground!
With that in mind, how long would a thousand years here be? One could only imagine by just thinking about it.
“So that’s how it is. All of you have already lived for so long, so it should indeed be very difficult for you to resist Heaven’s Tribulations now,” Lin Ming nodded and said.
This made Lin Ming suddenly recall that when he just entered the void, Heaven’s Tribulations had even made blood flow from the corner of his mouth.
If the next Heaven’s Tribulations’ power was double of the last, one could imagine the damage they would cause!
“Oh right, I wonder when I can spar with you?” Xing Tian looked at Lin Ming and returned to this question.
“I think today is a good day. Why not now?” At this moment, a voice appeared.
Lin Ming turned around. The Heavenly Emperor had appeared once again.
“I feel that today is not a good day. If you feel that the weather today is good, how about you spar with senior Xing Tian?” Lin Ming said.
Lin Ming did not give the Heavenly Emperor any face at all.
Hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor’s expression changed. After all, the effects of the alcohol had not subsided yet.
“Since fellow friend Lin Ming doesn’t feel like sparring today, let’s do it another day,” At this moment, another voice appeared to come to the rescue.
The owner of this voice was Nuwa.
Lin Ming felt an indescribable sense of closeness towards Nuwa.
Lin Ming cupped his fists and did not say anything.
“Since all of you haven’t left and I haven’t enjoyed myself enough today,” Lin Ming took a deep breath and said faintly as his gaze landed on Zhu Jiuyin, “When we first met, senior Zhu Jiuyin said that he wanted to spar with me. I think, for now, I should satisfy senior Zhu Jiuyin first. I hope that senior Xing Tian will not take offense.”
After saying that, Lin Ming cupped his fists towards Xing Tian.
“It’s alright. After all, I just want to see how heaven-defying a fellow friend who has cultivated for less than a hundred days is,” Xing Tian quickly waved his hand.
He was only curious about Lin Ming’s strength.
As for who Lin Ming fought, he did not care.
After all, no matter who Lin Ming fought, he could find out many things that he wanted to know.
At this moment, Zhu Jiuying’s expression changed!
Because he did not want to fight with Lin Ming at this moment.
He had said those words back then because he had received instructions from the Heavenly Emperor.
He did not have much interest in doing such a thing.
He was an old fox and not a battle maniac.
He could kill Lin Ming behind his back, but he did not want to fight Lin Ming fair and square here.
Because, in his opinion, Lin Ming was just a junior.
If he fought with Lin Ming now, it would be lowering his value, regardless of whether he won or lost.
