No sooner said than done. Eight people was actually the perfect number for playing games and drinking.
Too few people would be boring, and too many meant waiting forever for your turn.
This number of people felt just right.
Although Su Yang hadn't bought any alcohol while grocery shopping in the afternoon, he had plenty of beer here in addition to liquor.
It was more than enough for tonight, considering they weren't planning on drinking heavily.
It was currently 10:30 PM. Even though they had to get up early the next day, they could still play for another two or three hours.
The eight of them enthusiastically sat in a circle on the rug by the sofa and started playing finger-guessing games. Meng Qianyu, Lu Yun, and Tang Ziyun sat on the sofa, chatting and singing. The atmosphere was fantastic.
"Come on, come on, Brother Yang, it's your turn. Your side doesn't seem to be doing too well. You've lost three in a row, and you're the only one left."
Su Yang smiled and said, "What's the rush? Beat me first."
"Don't be so arrogant. You might be a heavyweight drinker, but when it comes to finger-guessing games, heh heh, you're still lacking a bit."
Su Yang rolled his eyes at Liu Bo. "Cut the crap. Hurry up, what are we playing?"
"Fifteen-Twenty, of course."
"Bring it on."
As they spoke, the two readied their hands and started shouting out numbers.
After shouting for three consecutive rounds, Su Yang successfully defeated Liu Bo.
Seeing Su Yang finally win a round back, the three girls beside him cheered happily.
"Su Yang is awesome!"
"It has to be Brother Su Yang, take them all down!" Ren Lingxi chimed in.
Su Yang smiled faintly and looked at Pan Ning, Meng Wenzhou, and Jiang Xiaotang. "Next!"
"I'll go!" Meng Wenzhou cracked his neck, reached out his hand, and started playing against Su Yang.
A few rounds later, Meng Wenzhou lost another game.
"Oh yeah!! Keep it up!" Su Qingci happily threw her hands up and laughed.
"Not bad, Su Yang, we're all counting on you. Come on, let me massage your shoulders. Keep it up and take them down, there are only two left." Zhuang Mengli said as she stood up, walked behind Su Yang, and started massaging his shoulders.
"I thank you, but your technique still needs some practice."
"Don't push your luck!"
"I'm just telling the truth, the massage really is a bit lacking."
"Then I won't do it." Zhuang Mengli gave him a few random squeezes and sat back down beside Su Yang.
"Let's continue. Pan Pan, Xiaotang, which of you is up?"
"Xiaotang first." Meng Wenzhou looked at Jiang Xiaotang and said, "It's fine even if you lose, Pan Pan is extremely good at games."
"Is that so?"
"Just play, don't worry."
"Alright."
Su Yang and Jiang Xiaotang played a round of Stick-Tiger-Chicken, and Jiang Xiaotang lost instantly.
"I see hope!" Zhuang Mengli laughed, crossing her arms.
"Don't get ahead of yourself. When Old Su goes against Pan Pan, he usually loses. He rarely wins."
"Really?"
"Just wait and see if you don't believe me."
Pan Ning took a bite of an apple, placed it on a tissue, and looked at Su Yang. "Let's play Fifteen-Twenty."
"Sure."
The two extended their hands and started shouting.
"Fifteen-Twenty-Fifteen!" As Su Yang shouted, he made a fist with his left hand and opened his right hand.
"Fifteen-Twenty-Ten." Pan Ning similarly only extended five fingers.
"Awesome!! Instant kill!" Liu Bo shouted happily.
"Hahaha, how about that? I told you Old Su couldn't beat Pan Pan. This is called bloodline suppression. Drink up, you guys." Meng Wenzhou laughed, resting his left arm on the sofa.
Su Yang scratched his nose and looked at the three people on his side. "Nothing I can do, she's my natural counter."
"It's okay, Brother Su Yang, you're already very impressive. You won three rounds in a row." Ren Lingxi made a fist to encourage him.
Su Qingci also chimed in, "Yeah, if we drink, we drink. Come on, let the four of us clink glasses."
"Okay." They filled their glasses with alcohol.
The beer glasses at Su Yang's place were a bit large; a 500-milliliter bottle exactly filled one glass.
"One glass at a time," Liu Bo said, looking at them.
"Guys drink a full glass, girls just need to drink half. These glasses are big."
"Does Pan Pan only drink half a glass too?"
"Pan Pan is an exception. Making her drink half a glass is basically torturing her."
"Haha, true."
After they finished drinking, Meng Wenzhou suggested, "Let's continue. Let's make it a bit harder this time. Besides drinking, the losing side has to choose one person to answer a Truth question. We won't play Dare."
Everyone nodded to show they had no problem with that.
At this time, Su Yang tilted his head and looked at Zhuang Mengli and the other two girls, saying, "When you guys play games with Pan Pan, just play Rock-Paper-Scissors. Don't play anything difficult, otherwise our side will probably be drinking non-stop."
"Alright, then I'll go first." Zhuang Mengli said as she looked at Pan Ning. "Pan Pan, I'll go against you first. We are the losers, so we choose the game. We're playing Rock-Paper-Scissors."
"Sure." Pan Ning smiled nonchalantly.
"Come on, let's start."
After the two called out three times in a row, Zhuang Mengli narrowly lost.
Su Qingci followed up, also playing Rock-Paper-Scissors.
However, her luck was bad today, and she lost as well. Ren Lingxi followed up, and still didn't win.
"Damn it, how come even Rock-Paper-Scissors isn't working today? Let me try."
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the two rapidly extending their hands.
After calling out five times in a row, Pan Ning ultimately defeated Su Yang's scissors with rock.
"Damn it!"
"Pan Pan is awesome!! A one-versus-four!!"
"What can I say? You thought you could beat my Sister Pan just by playing Rock-Paper-Scissors, huh? This game isn't purely based on luck either, haha, caught you off guard, didn't it?" Liu Bo threw his head back and laughed.
"Sister Pan won a one-versus-four, so do you guys have to drink two glasses?" Jiang Xiaotang asked.
Su Yang nodded. "That's right, accept the loss. I'll drink two glasses, and they'll drink one."
"Drink up."
They filled their glasses. Su Yang downed two glasses in one breath, while Zhuang Mengli and the other two had to pause for over ten seconds halfway through before finishing their single glass.
"Alright, you're done drinking, right? Who is going to step up and answer a question?" Meng Wenzhou smiled.
Su Yang looked at the three girls and asked, "Are any of you willing to volunteer?"
The three of them shook their heads in perfect unison.
"Alright, alright, alright, I'll do it."
"Old Su, right? Okay, who among us is asking?"
Jiang Xiaotang raised her hand. "How about I ask?"
"Sure, go ahead."
Su Yang looked at Jiang Xiaotang and smiled. "Xiaotang, take it easy, alright? Keep it positive."
Jiang Xiaotang grinned. "Oh, I know, Handsome Su. Don't worry, my question won't be hard."
"That works, ask away."
Jiang Xiaotang rolled her eyes playfully and, under everyone's expectant gazes, spoke up: "Who... who do you think is the sexiest among the girls sitting here...?"

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!

Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow.
