A group of people returned to Xianyu He's villa estate, still discussing with undiminished interest the drinking contest between Cheng Xiaofan and Tu Sanyan.
"Cheng Xiaofan, you truly showed us your drinking capacity today, it's incredible!" Liu Tingshu said, giving Cheng Xiaofan a thumbs-up.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and replied, "Even I think I'm incredible. Not only did I drink their liquor, but I also gained a hundred million. When I accepted that money, I saw the onlookers' eyes turn green!"
"Brother-in-law, no wonder elder sister fancies you, you truly are amazing!" Xianyu Yan praised.
Hearing Xianyu Yan's words, Cheng Xiaofan felt something was off.
*What do you mean by that? Does Bai Yiling have such a short-sighted taste that she only likes me because I can drink?*
*Are you really badmouthing your sister like this!*
"Brother-in-law, your ability to retrieve things from afar is too impressive. When can you teach me?" At this moment, Xianyu Cheng also came over, his face full of earnestness.
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand and said, "You can't learn this remote retrieval. Don't think too much about it!"
Xianyu Cheng asked with some dejection, "Brother-in-law, why can't I learn it?"
Before Cheng Xiaofan could explain, Xianyu He immediately said, "Your brother-in-law says you can't learn it, so there must be a reason you can't. Does this need further explanation?"
*Well said!*
In Cheng Xiaofan's heart, this was also something he couldn't explain clearly.
"Xiaofan, I just remembered something else about the Tu family," Xu Minghui, who had been sitting quietly, said with a furrowed brow. "Your drinking contest with Tu Sanyan this afternoon, although you won a hundred million from her, might not be a good thing!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "What, is she going to try and take it back?"
Xu Minghui shook his head and said, "Since this hundred million has been handed over, the Tu family won't do anything as despicable as that."
"Xiaofan, you might not know this, but the renowned liquor maker from the Northeast, Tu Biao, has three daughters named Da Yan, Er Yan, and San Yan. Although they are all willful, each is naturally beautiful and charming."
"Tu Biao once declared publicly that among men, whoever could drink three catties of 'Qian Ri Zui' would be betrothed to his three daughters!"
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Is this Tu Biao out of his mind? What era is this, still marrying three daughters to one man simultaneously? Will that even work?"
Xu Minghui said, "In the Northeast, anyone who mentions Tu Biao calls him Tu Fengzi (Madman Tu). Whatever he says, whether it's feasible or not, he will see it through!"
"I suspect that when that Madman Tu learns that his daughter lost to you in a drinking contest, he will definitely pester you to marry his three daughters!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "I have a girlfriend. Let that Madman Tu not even think about it. In this world, no one can replace my goddess Bai!"
His words instantly warmed Bai Yiling's heart!
*Is this straight-talking guy indirectly confessing to me?*
"Brother-in-law, that's what a responsible man would say. Good job, I give you a thumbs-up, keep it up!" Xianyu Yan laughed loudly.
At this moment, Liu Tingshu frowned and asked Xu Minghui, "Old Xu, why would the third daughter of the Tu family from the Northeast appear in Hai City with bodyguards?"
Xu Minghui smiled, "Tingshu, it's simple. The Tu family coming here is clearly to participate in the World Famous Liquor Auction the day after tomorrow."
"You know, the 'Qian Ri Zui' from the Tu family in the Northeast is quite well-known!"
Xu Minghui nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Cheng Xiaofan, "You drank the Tu family's 'Qian Ri Zui', how did it feel?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "To be honest, the Tu family's white liquor is indeed good, far surpassing many brands produced by domestic manufacturers!"
Xu Minghui said, "For Xiaofan, who can brew Happy Liquor, for him to say the Tu family's liquor is good, it must be very good indeed!"
"Of course, whether the Tu family can sell at a good price at the auction the day after tomorrow depends on luck, given the numerous domestic and international competitors!"
Just as everyone was talking, Cheng Xiaofan stood up and said, "Everyone, you chat here. Ling and I need to head back immediately."
"It's fine tomorrow, Ling and I will come back the morning after tomorrow!"
"What, it's almost evening, and you have to rush back now?" Xianyu He said with a look of astonishment.
Xu Minghui also chimed in, "Xiaofan, you just arrived here today, why the rush to leave?"
Liu Tingshu asked, "Xiaofan, is there something urgent at home?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "I wouldn't have come today if I hadn't thought of Mr. Xianyu's concern for his daughter's illness. That's why Ling and I rushed over. Now that Yan is fine, there are many things to handle at home. I think it's best to go back. With the Heaven-Piercing Eagle, it's just a blink of an eye to travel back and forth!"
Hearing him say this, everyone found it difficult to insist they stay.
Cheng Xiaofan then said to Xianyu He, "Mr. Xianyu, Yan also wants to go out and play with us. I think it would be beneficial for her complete recovery. Would you agree?"
"Xiaofan, as long as you don't mind Yan being noisy, I certainly agree!" Xianyu He quickly said.
For Xianyu He, Cheng Xiaofan bringing his daughter along showed he valued her, so he was overjoyed. Moreover, Xianyu He could tell that his daughter's speech was still somewhat unreliable, indicating her brain hadn't fully recovered. Having her stay with Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling would only be beneficial. Honestly, he wished his daughter could stay with Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling for a longer period.
"Chirp—"
As Cheng Xiaofan, Bai Yiling, and Xianyu Yan came out of the villa, the Heaven-Piercing Eagle, sensing their presence, descended from the sky and landed before them. The Heaven-Piercing Eagle, over two feet tall, transformed into a body over three meters long.
"Yan, you sit in the front, let Sister Yiling hug you, and I'll be at the back!" Cheng Xiaofan instructed Xianyu Yan at this moment.
Xianyu Yan nodded with a charming and cute expression, "Got it!" Not showing any fear, she sat on the Heaven-Piercing Eagle.
Bai Yiling rode on it, hugged Xianyu Yan in her arms, and smiled, "Yan, just nestle close in my arms, and you'll be perfectly fine."
"Thank you, Sister!" Xianyu Yan replied.
After Cheng Xiaofan mounted, he cupped his hands towards everyone and said, "See you the day after tomorrow!"
"Chirp—"
The Heaven-Piercing Eagle let out a clear, piercing cry and then soared into the sky.
"My heavens!"
Xianyu Cheng let out a gasp and knelt directly on the ground, saying with a hint of dread, "Is this Cheng Xiaofan perhaps the legendary Eagle-Taming Immortal?"
...
"What, San Yan, you went to Hai City and lost a drinking contest?" At this very moment, in his office, the renowned liquor maker from the Northeast, Tu Biao, received a call from his daughter, Tu Sanyan. "Who was it? How did you lose to him?"
From the phone, Tu Sanyan said resentfully, "This person is named Cheng Xiaofan, a young farmer from the countryside in Nan Province. He drank two cases of 'Qian Ri Zui' in one go and was completely fine."
Upon hearing this, Tu Biao couldn't believe it. "What? A country farmer drank twelve bottles of 'Qian Ri Zui' at once and was still fine? This is impossible!"
"How is this possible, San Yan, are you mistaken?" Tu Biao was utterly distraught. If this were true, how could he possibly marry his three beautiful daughters off to a country farmer? After all, this was a promise he had made recklessly, and according to ancestral rules, it could not be retracted.
