Chapter 17 - The Crown Prince is drunkAfter another quarter-hour pa.s.sed, Xiang Yun had finished drinking most of the wine in the wine vat. No matter how low the latter bent his body, he was unable to drink any more. He had thought that the latter would stop his crazy actions.
Who would have thought that in the next moment, Xiang Yun would actually land his feet on the surface of the bed and leap into the wine vat like a mudfish. Immediately afterwards, that voice that was like drinking water from a cow resounded through the entire wine vat once again.
Lin Wan"er, who had been waiting outside for a long time for Xiang Yun to eat. After waiting for two hours, she was finally a little anxious, worried that she would no longer need to eat. With her body in a state of hunger, she brought four or five maidservants with her as she brought food directly to Xiang Yun"s side room.
"Thump thump thump!"
Lin Wan"er knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Lady Wan-Er, could it be that the crown prince is still sleeping?" The maid behind him said carefully.
"How is that possible? The Crown Prince only woke up this morning, how could he still be sleeping? He hasn"t eaten breakfast either, if he doesn"t eat something now, he"ll be starving."
Lin Wan"er had a worried look on her face. She turned her head to the tightly shut door and was hesitating about whether she should push it open and enter the room.
"Eh? "Where does the fragrance come from?" Lin Wan"er suddenly smelled an enchanting fragrance that captivated her heart. She thought it was the scent of the rouge and cosmetic powder of the maid beside her, or the scented sachet worn by someone else.
However, this smell did not seem to be the scent of rouge or cosmetics. While she was still confused, a maid behind her suddenly spoke up, "Hey, where did this wine aroma come from? Why does it smell so good!"
"Wine!"
When everyone heard this, their noses twitched as they revealed intoxicated expressions. Evidently, they had also smelt this tempting fragrance. Following the scent, they all looked towards Xiang Yun"s room!"This smell seems to be coming from the crown prince"s room!"
Lin Wan"er looked at the tightly shut door and thought to herself, "I haven"t seen a servant bring wine to the crown prince today, why is there the aroma of wine?"
Just as Lin Wan"er was puzzled, a vague shout came from Xiang Yun"s room!
"Haha, good wine and good wine, fill another vat for me!"
When the girls heard this, they looked at each other. They looked at each other, wondering what was going on inside.
Lin Wan"er didn"t care whether Xiang Yun would scold her or not at this moment. She pushed open the door to the room, and the moment the door opened, a rich aroma wafted out.
All the girls froze for a moment due to the fragrance before stepping into the room. Immediately, they were stunned by the scene before them!
At this moment, there was no trace of the crown prince in the room. There was actually a huge wine jar that was over half a person"s height on his bed. The rich fragrance was coming from it!
"Where"s the son of the heir?" The ladies were all alarmed when they didn"t see the Crown Prince!"Hey!" Just as the girls were bewildered, and just as Lin Wan"er was about to call out to the guards, a shout came from the wine vat. The girls were startled, and some of the timid ones even fell to the ground with their legs trembling.
"Who is it?"
The girls looked at the vat of wine in panic, but nothing strange happened. However, an echoing and unrestrained voice resounded from the vat of wine, "For example, to live a long life while drinking wine! Wonderful, wonderful! ""For wine as a song, how hard is life? For example, the morning dew is much more bitter!" A single poem resounded through the room as the young ladies at the prime of their life were all stunned when they heard it.
As a maidservant of the crown prince"s household, although she had not read much of the book of poems, she was still proficient in it. Upon hearing such a carefree and bold poem, she immediately felt shocked and bewildered.Lin Wan"er, as the Crown Prince"s personal maidservant, was very fond of poetry. When she heard this poem, she immediately felt the extraordinary artistic conception of it. Her unrestrained and unrestrained posture was vividly displayed, and she had never even heard of such an exquisite poem before.
At this level, it could simply be recorded in the hundred poems published by the Orthodox Academy and praised and admired by the people of the world.The shock from the poem did not last long. Lin Wan"er reacted in the blink of an eye!
"It"s the crown prince! The crown prince is in that vat!" The girls then remembered that the voice belonged to none other than the crown prince.
For a time, none of the girls dared to hesitate. They jumped onto the st.u.r.dy wooden bed, surrounded by the huge wine jar. Seven or eight heads pushed at the wine jar as they looked toward the mouth of the altar.
The girls only took a glance before their eyes and mouths were wide open, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.At this moment, in the large wine jar, a figure was curled up on the side like a huge shrimp. His brocade robe was already soaked in the wine, but he didn"t seem to care about it at all, as the latter was currently looking towards the bottom of the wine jar.
As he muttered to himself, he continued to drink the remaining wine at the bottom of the jar.Upon seeing this scene unfold in the wine vat, all the girls were stunned. Lin Wan"er"s eyes were wide open as she stared at Xiang Yun, whose neck was already flushed red from drinking too much. She instantly came to her senses.
"Hurry and bring the crown prince out! The crown prince is drunk!"
Hearing this, all the girls seemed to have awoken from a dream as they hurriedly followed Lin Wan"er into the wine vat. They grabbed Xiang Yun"s wet clothes as if they wanted to pull him out of the wine vat.
Unexpectedly, as everyone exerted their strength, Xiang Yun"s originally intoxicated body instantly tensed up. His hands and feet abruptly pressed against the surroundings of the wine jar as he shouted, "Don"t pull me, all of you! I still want to drink!"
Hearing Xiang Yun"s drunken nonsense, the girls were at a loss. Although they were only at the words of the crown prince, he was after all the crown prince. They could only look at Lin Wan"er with hesitation in their eyes.
Lin Wan"er looked at Xiang Yun, who had been drunk to the point where he was completely drunk, and didn"t dare let him drink anymore. She hurriedly said to the girls, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and get the crown prince out!"
Hearing this, the rest of the girls immediately tried to pull Xiang Yun out of the wine vat, but this was rather strange. Although these maidservants were all ladies, the total number of them was still six or seven. Even if it was a burly man, under the combined strength of all the girls, he should still be able to lift them up.
However, with so many people unable to pull Xiang Yun out of the wine vat, the ladies all grabbed onto Xiang Yun"s clothes and pulled him upwards. Gritting their teeth, their faces turned red, but Xiang Yun"s body did not move at all.Lin Wan"er, who was observing to see if the maids could injure the crown prince, couldn"t help but to say, "There are so many of you. Why can"t you lift the crown prince? You aren"t using too much strength, are you?"
The maidservants tried again, but it was to no avail. They let go and looked at Lin Wan"er helplessly."Lady Wan-Er, it"s not that we don"t use strength, it"s just that the Crown Prince"s body is really heavy. It"s like he is filled with lead. His hands and feet are in wine vats. We really can"t lift him up."
Seeing that the girls didn"t seem to be faking it, Lin Wan"er approached the vat with a skeptical expression. She glanced at Xiang Yun, who was still deep in the vat, sucking on the wine. The latter pulled up her arms, revealing two lily-white arms."Let me give it a try!"
As soon as Lin Wan"er said this, the maidservants immediately felt like moving to the side. More than a dozen of them stared at Lin Wan"er with eyes filled with excitement.
They were all maidservants of the Crown Prince"s residence. Naturally, they had heard of Lin Wan"er, who was the Crown Prince"s personal maidservant. She was a genuine martial artist from the Cloud Sky Sect.One must know that martial artists had to have spirit roots, and spirit roots were not something that just anyone could have. In the entire Wind Cloud Empire, with a population of several hundred million people, the number of true martial artists was less than a million.
Lin Wan"er had become a martial artist that all the women envied, and although they knew that Lin Wan"er was a martial artist, they had rarely seen her display any martial skills. The latter did not like to show off her skills, and now they had the chance to witness Lin Wan"er"s strength.
One had to know that the six of them couldn"t move the Crown Prince at all. Lin Wan"er had to pull the Crown Prince out of the wine vat by herself. She believed that with the strength of Eryun"s martial artists in the future, they would definitely be able to do it.
When Lin Wan"er stuck to the side of the vat and entered the vat, all the girls" gazes fell upon her as well. They saw Lin Wan"er"s hands wrap around Xiang Yun"s arms and thighs before her hands tightened as she abruptly pulled upwards!"Hey!"
Lin Wan"er was about to pull Xiang Yun away when she heard a soft sound of confusion. She stopped abruptly, as if something had forcefully held her back.
Lin Wan"er looked at Xiang Yun"s hands and feet that were pressed against the jar of wine in astonishment. She thought to herself, "When did the Crown Prince become so strong? Is it because of the alcohol"s effect?"The latter only felt puzzled for a moment before she began circulating her energy. She increased her strength and raised her hand again!
However, the result remained the same. Xiang Yun did not move, his hands and feet seemingly rooted in the wine vat. The latter currently had his head lowered, focusing only on drinking all the wine at the bottom of the vat.
"This …"
Lin Wan"er was already somewhat surprised. As the Crown Prince"s personal maid, she was very clear on the condition of Xiang Yun"s body. The Crown Prince had spent all these years indulging himself in debauchery.Lin Wan"er tried her best to dissuade him, but it was useless. The latter continued to act according to her will, and eventually, his body became worse and worse. He was a normal woman, so it would be hard to beat him if he went all out against her.
From what Lin Wan"er could remember, Xiang Yun"s strength was extremely weak. She could tell from the way he often waved his folding fan twice, just as he was about to rub his wrist. At the same time, his body was very light, because this was not the first time Lin Wan"er had carried the drunk Xiang Yun out of the brothel.
However, at this very moment, Lin Wan"er, who had her hands on Xiang Yun"s hands and feet, did not know if it was an illusion or something, but she felt that Xiang Yun"s hands and feet were actually filled with a sense of power.
"What"s going on?" Lin Wan"er was slightly puzzled. At this moment, the six maidservants noticed that something was wrong. They looked at each other and then looked at Lin Wan"er with a strange expression.
That gaze clearly said, "Lady Wan-Er, didn"t you say we didn"t use any strength? Why can"t you, a dignified Eryun martial artist, pull the Crown Prince a little bit?"
Lin Wan"er could read the gazes of all the women. The latter blushed and felt a bit humiliated. He was a martial artist after all, how could he be looked down upon by this group of maids?
Immediately, Lin Wan"er gripped Xiang Yun again with both her hands and took a deep breath. Her aura flowed straight into her dantian, as if a clear spring had flowed into it. It instantly stirred up the cloud energy in her dantian!
All of a sudden, the cloud energy in Lin Wan"er"s dantian flowed into her waist, back, and arms."Boom!"
An invisible aura rippled out from Lin Wan"er"s body. Although it was very weak, it still made the six maidservants" hearts palpitate inexplicably. They involuntarily took a step back!
