Seemingly anticipating their concerns, Nanxun said with a smile, "Everyone, don't worry. If you encounter a question you don't want to answer, you can skip it and either drink or choose a dare. As for the dare, let the previous person decide."
Yu Nan and Bi Ziang breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That sounds pretty fun."
They each showered Nanxun with praise once more. Zu'an smiled enigmatically; these two probably had no idea of the huge pitfall hidden in this game.
Looking at Yu Nan sitting below him, Zu An's face also showed a warm smile.
Then the game started quickly, and Bi Ziang was the first to draw a card, as he was always the type to strive to be number one in everything.
What are the three things you are most afraid of?
Looking at the question, Bi Ziang laughed and placed his hand on the crystal ball: "I, Bi, have never been afraid of anything in my life."
However, the others all focused their attention on the crystal ball, where a dazzling red light emanated from it.
Bi Ziang's expression changed slightly. He wondered if there was something he was afraid of that he was unaware of.
Nan Xun smiled and said, "Young Master Bi, you'll have to drink the penalty wine."
After saying that, he personally picked up the wine pot and poured him three cups.
“He certainly deserves to be punished.” Bi Ziang laughed heartily. Given his personality, he wouldn’t try to cheat on this. He picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he coughed violently, his face turning red from the choking. He stared at the wine glass in surprise. What kind of wine was this?
Nan Xun smiled and said, "This wine is stronger than usual."
On the other side, Yu Nan said gloatingly, "Brother Bi usually seems quite capable, but he can't even drink three cups of wine."
"Brother Yu is too kind." Bi Ziang was secretly angry, but he didn't show it on his face. He picked up the remaining two cups of wine and drank them down in one gulp. Then he gathered his energy to suppress the turbulent feeling.
He finally realized that this game was probably not so simple; if he kept drinking such strong liquor, he would get drunk in no time.
In order to drink less, I have to tell more truths.
He had a sudden thought: he didn't intend to tell the other two the true strength of the liquor, and was prepared to see them suffer a great loss as well.
It took him a while to calm down, then he looked at the courtesan next to him and said, "Miss Nanxun, come too, otherwise it's no fun for a bunch of grown men like us to play this game."
On this point, Yu Nan and Zu An were unusually in agreement with him.
Nanxun didn't refuse and smiled as she pulled out a slip of paper from the box as well.
Do you have any secret premonitions about how you might die in the future?
Upon seeing the title, her expression changed slightly.
Yu Nan and Bi Ziang laughed and said, "How could Miss Nanxun have prepared such a question?"
Only Zuan seemed to be deep in thought.
Nan Xun quickly recovered and gracefully placed her fair, delicate hand on the crystal ball: "I have a feeling I'm going to be killed by a heartless man."
After she finished speaking, the crystal ball didn't react at all, proving that she was telling the truth.
"Why would she have such a strange premonition?" Bi Ziang and Yu Nan both frowned, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat heavy.
Nanxun looked at Zu An beside her and said, "Young Master Zu, it's your turn next."
Bi Ziang and Yu Nan were indeed distracted and looked at him, wanting to see how he would make a fool of himself.
Without any concern, Zuan rummaged through the box and pulled out a slip of paper: "If you were to describe yourself, what three words would you use?"
"Tall, rich, and handsome!" Zu'an blurted out without thinking. It was still too short a word. If it were five words, it would be "Pan, Lu, Deng, Xiao, and Xian".
Bi Ziang and Yu Nan almost burst out laughing. Although it was the first time they had heard this term, they were both intelligent and immediately understood its meaning.
I thought to myself, "You dare to call yourself a rich, handsome, and successful man in front of us?"
The two looked at the crystal ball with a playful expression, hoping to see it emit a red light, but it didn't react at all, clearly indicating that it believed the other was telling the truth.
The two of them suddenly began to doubt their existence; could this crystal ball be broken?
Next, it was Yu Nan's turn. He figured the questions from the previous people weren't too difficult to answer, so he casually picked up a slip of paper: "Do you have any unusual hobbies in your life?"
Upon seeing this question, he almost cried out, "Why are other people's questions so easy, while mine is so difficult?"
Bi Ziang and Zu An looked at him with schadenfreude. "You drew the question, which proves that you really have character issues."
Yu Nan thought for a moment and then said directly, "I'll drink."
How could he possibly reveal his shameful secrets in front of others? Rather than making up a story before drinking, he might as well just start drinking from the beginning.
Nanxun poured him three cups with a smile.
Yu Nan picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then his eyes widened instantly, and with a "pfft," he spat it all onto the ground, exclaiming in horror, "What kind of wine is this? How can it be so strong!"
Nanxun replied, "This is a famous wine from the northern demon tribes, called Zhaotian Shao, which is known for its strong flavor."
Bi Ziang laughed: "Is Young Master Yu feeling unwell lately? He can't even drink such a small cup of wine."
The other party had just mocked him; now he could retaliate tenfold.
Yu Nan glared at him resentfully, and immediately realized that the other party had deliberately kept quiet just to see him make a fool of himself.
Suppressing his discomfort, he downed three glasses of wine in one gulp, feeling a burning sensation in his stomach and as if fire was about to burst from his mouth.
Next, it was Bi Ziang's turn. This time, the slip of paper he drew read, "If you had a crystal ball that could tell you everything about yourself, your life, or your future, what would you want to know?"
