This is completely backing down. When you were trying to get her drunk and initiated the drinking, she didn’t refuse at all!

Now that she’s coming to you for a drink, you immediately chicken out... Yang Tingting and Lu Man looked at Wang Hao with disdain in their eyes.

Wang Hao was furious inside but had no solution. Not drinking would make people look down on him, thinking he wasn’t manly; drinking would make him pass out and vomit, which would also make people look down on him and make him feel terrible.

Lin Yihang smiled, not really caring.

After all, out of the six people, he had already gotten five of them drunk. The remaining Wang Hao, although still sitting here勉强, seemed to be pretty drunk... No one would be competing for this fish, right?

"Fine, let's be casual! You take a break, I'll have a couple of bites of fish, and we'll continue drinking later."

Saying this, Lin Yihang picked up his chopsticks and unceremoniously picked the fattest piece of fish.

The tender fish meat was incredibly delicious. A trace of energy akin to spiritual qi lingered between his teeth.

Lin Yihang's eyes lit up. This fish had lived much longer than he had imagined! Surviving in a natural environment, the energy within its body had condensed, actually forming something close to spiritual qi.

Of course, this wasn't true spiritual qi, and it was extremely faint. If not swallowed, it couldn't be sensed at all.

This was a special energy accumulated over a long time of growth. In the Immortal Continent, there were similar birds, beasts, fish, and insects that, due to their long lifespans, accumulated energy, gradually transforming into spiritual qi, and even becoming spirits on their own.

This carp was still far from becoming a spirit, but the energy in its flesh was extremely beneficial to Lin Yihang.

Lin Yihang's mouth was full of oil, and he felt extremely satisfied. He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't missed this fish.

Wang Hao only took one bite and felt his stomach churn, so he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

Yang Tingting and Lu Man had just finished eating, so they didn't touch their chopsticks at all. Both of them stared at Lin Yihang with wide eyes, as if they were looking at an alien.

"You... You can still eat?" Yang Tingting blinked, her face full of disbelief.

"Why not? This fish is so delicious. Have some, you'll regret it if you don't. It promotes metabolism and can slow down aging!" Lin Yihang said, holding a large piece of tender white fish meat with his chopsticks, eating it as he spoke.

He was telling the truth. Even if ordinary people didn't know cultivation techniques, eating this fish long-term could extend their lifespan.

"Why can't I eat... Do I even need to ask?" Yang Tingting clearly ignored Lin Yihang's last sentence, "Didn't you eat almost all of the two previous fish? Is your stomach a bottomless pit?"

"Earlier! It's been so long, it's already digested." Lin Yihang waved his hand casually, and his speed of eating the fish was not affected at all.

This glutton! He must have never eaten anything this delicious before? A 5888 RMB fish!

Wang Hao secretly criticized. Thinking about the money he spent, the fish was eaten by someone else, and the beauties were chatting with someone else... Yang Tingting and Lu Man's gazes were completely focused on Lin Yihang, looking almost worshipful?

Wang Hao's stomach hurt again. Damn! What kind of world is this, where a big eater becomes a reason for beauties to worship?

He really wanted to jump up and fight Lin Yihang for the fish meat! Unfortunately, he had drunk too much earlier, and now the aftereffects were hitting him. He couldn't even think about eating the fish without feeling like vomiting!

...

Yang Tingting and Lu Man were indeed somewhat worshipful.

A big eater!

First, two fish of five to six pounds each, and now a sixteen-pound fish... That's nearly thirty pounds in total... Even if you remove the scales, bones, and innards, there must be at least ten pounds of meat, right?

After eating ten pounds of meat... Both of them couldn't help but look at Lin Yihang's stomach.

Lu Man, with no reservations, even leaned on Yang Tingting's leg and reached out to touch.

The two beauties circling around Lin Yihang made Wang Hao feel extremely uncomfortable.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that Lin Yihang was clearly more interested in the fish meat than in the beauties. He had no interest in talking to Yang Tingting and Lu Man, just waving his chopsticks at the fish meat.

A small loser is a small loser, always destined to be a loser! At a time like this, not seizing the opportunity to get closer to the beauties and just focusing on eating fish meat... Wang Hao sneered.

Lin Yihang's focus on the fish meat gave Wang Hao a chance, and both of them got what they wanted. However, just thinking that this opportunity was because Lin Yihang had given up made Wang Hao feel nauseous, as if he was playing with someone else's leftovers or wearing someone else's old shoes.

Wang Hao came from a good family and had a smooth upbringing, giving him a strong sense of superiority. This feeling, he really didn't like. The originally pleasant conversation now felt like chewing wax.

Moreover, with Lin Yihang sitting between the two, munching away, it was extremely annoying to look at.

"Cambridge has a policy of easy entry but strict exit, so I didn't dare to relax at all in university..."

"Hehe, 'Farewell to Cambridge Again' by Xu Zhimo, because of this poem, Chinese students all go to see the River Cam, but it's really beautiful."

"The air quality in China has been terrible these past two years. It's great in the UK, but once I come back, my throat gets irritated."

"Do you remember when we were kids, Tingting? That year, my father's project failed, and we lost hundreds of thousands. Uncle Yang helped us get through that tough time. Back then, losing hundreds of thousands felt like the sky was falling. Now, thinking about it, it's really funny. It was just hundreds of thousands, after all!"

"..."

Wang Hao tried hard to steer the conversation, showing off his credentials. Since he couldn't outdrink Lin Yihang, he would beat him in other areas.

A small loser can be so captivated by a fish, these impressive credentials would surely make him feel inferior and want to crawl into a hole?

Hey, being able to drink is nothing. A man still needs to rely on his status and strength in society.

While chatting with Yang Tingting, Wang Hao kept an eye on Lin Yihang.

Unfortunately, this small loser didn't seem as inferior as expected, making Wang Hao feel like he was hitting a cotton ball, empty and uncomfortable.

Inferior?

How could Lin Yihang have such a concept?

Going abroad, what's the big deal? Being rich, what's the big deal?

Lin Yihang had even been to another world. No matter how impressive you are, can you compare to a cultivator? In his previous life, when he had achieved cultivation, he could fly, teleport, and turn stones into gold; worldly wealth was like a fleeting cloud... Wang Hao's boasting seemed laughable to him.

Yang Tingting clearly didn't like Wang Hao's approach, only showing a nostalgic look when talking about their families' old connections.

Lu Man listened for a while and then got up to go to the bathroom. It wasn't clear if she really needed to go or was just making an excuse.

Bang!

A moment after Lu Man left, the restaurant door was pushed open, and the fat man who had just gone out to vomit staggered in, with a black eye.

"Brother Wang, it's not good! Lu Man had a conflict with someone in the restroom and is about to be dragged into the men's room."

The fat man shouted in a panic.

...
