Chapter 122

"If he can down that in one go, I'll eat my own excrement!"

Seeing Chu Tianhe raise his glass once more, the crowd in the bar began to clamor again. No one believed that Chu Tianhe could finish three consecutive shots of "Water of Life."

However!

Chu Tianhe did not give them a moment to deliberate. With a flick of his wrist, he drained the glass in a single gulp!

Whoosh!

This stunned the regulars in the bar completely. An instant silence fell over the room; even the DJ stopped what he was doing, staring at Chu Tianhe in utter shock.

"Bang!"

Just as the room sat in silence and Blue Phoenix prepared to raise her own glass, forcing herself to drink despite her intoxication, the bar's glass door was shattered to pieces!

A man in a suit, followed by seven or eight martial arts bodyguards, stormed in without a hint of hesitation.

"Lan Yu, don't you push your luck!"

The man let out a roar, his voice brimming with arrogance. Upon seeing him, the crowd in the bar froze, instinctively stepping back two paces—no one wanted to be the target of this man's attention.

The man was Xu Haokun, the eldest son of the Xu family in the provincial capital. With his family's immense wealth, there was no one in Jiangzhou City who dared to cross him.

Blue Phoenix was his fiancée, and the two were bound by a formal engagement.

Blue Phoenix frequented this bar to flirt with men, and Xu Haokun had come to "catch her in the act" many times, leaving dozens of men crippled in his wake.

"What I choose to do is none of your business," Blue Phoenix replied lazily, glancing at him with fury in her beautiful eyes. She didn't give him a shred of respect.

"You are my fiancée! If I don't care, who will?" Xu Haokun’s face was twisted with rage. His gaze snapped like lightning toward Chu Tianhe, who was sitting next to Blue Phoenix. "You’ve got some nerve, kid, trying to pick up a woman that belongs to me!"

Chu Tianhe frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that a simple night out for a drink would lead to such trouble.

"Xu Haokun, open your eyes and look clearly: he isn't trying to pick me up—I am the one trying to pick him up!"

Seeing Xu Haokun aim his hostility at Chu Tianhe, Blue Phoenix hopped off her barstool and stepped in front of him. "I'll make it clear to you right now: I'm sleeping with him tonight!"

"Slap!"

Faced with her defiance, Xu Haokun didn't hold back. He raised his hand and struck Blue Phoenix across the face. "Lan Yu, you’d better watch yourself. Don't forget that you are to be a member of the Xu family. Stop tarnishing our family's reputation here!"

"Tarnishing your reputation?"

The slap ignited a fire in Blue Phoenix. A fierce glint appeared in her eyes as she glared at him. "This is who I am. If you think I’m tarnishing the Xu family’s reputation, then break the engagement! I never said I wanted to marry you!"

"You..." Stung by her retort, Xu Haokun lost face instantly. "Blue Phoenix, do you really think I can't handle you?"

Before the words had even left his lips, his gaze shifted back to Chu Tianhe.

Chu Tianhe remained seated at the bar, leisurely sipping his drink, entirely unbothered by the unfolding drama. Xu Haokun, however, pointed an angry finger at him and shouted at Blue Phoenix, "You like hooking up with men, right? Fine. Every one you hook up with, I’ll cripple. I want everyone in Jiangzhou to know the consequences of touching a woman who belongs to Xu Haokun!"
