Chapter 111: Exceptional Beauty Moonlight

"Lily, I have to say, your boyfriend looks quite charming when he drinks," her roommate said with a smile, standing beside Lily Lin.

Lily's roommate was dressed in a Chanel V-neck satin waist T-shirt, rush-dyed straight jeans that flattered her legs, and snow boots. Her short hair gave her a dashing appearance.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Leon Chen to handle alcohol so well," another girl nodded in agreement.

Lily Lin didn't say anything. She stood quietly in the corner, watching Leon Chen carefully. Sometimes, she found it hard to believe that this senior could give her such a sense of security. It was as if even when he forcefully kissed her, she felt he must have had a compelling reason.

Since then, Lily often thought about understanding this senior more, but every time she looked, Leon always seemed harmless, yet he constantly surprised her with his actions.

Thinking this, Lily suddenly smiled. It is said that when a woman becomes curious about a man, she is not far from falling in love with him.

By the time they were halfway through the third bottle, the short-haired guy couldn't hold on anymore. His eyes were blurry, and he looked at Leon Chen, who was drinking white liquor like it was water. His head spun, and with a thud, he collapsed. If it weren't for the people around him catching him, he would have fallen flat on his face.

Seeing the short-haired guy collapse, Leon Chen stopped drinking and smiled at Max Tu. As he was about to wipe the alcohol from his mouth, Lily Lin rushed over, took a wet wipe from her bag, and gently wiped his mouth.

"Leon, are you really okay?" Lily asked nervously.

Everyone else looked at Leon as if he were a monster. That was 70-degree liquor, not water. How could someone drink that much without turning red or having their heart race?

Their first reaction was to question if the liquor was fake.

But after taking a small sip, Henry Sun felt dizzy and unsteady.

Max Tu, known for his drinking capacity, was also shocked. "Let's go again!" he demanded, his eyes practically spitting fire at Leon.

Ethan gave Leon a thumbs-up. Hearing Max's challenge, he scoffed. "Max, what happened to your integrity?"

"This is impossible!" Max's eyes were bloodshot. "I won't give up today!"

"You..." Ethan's tone grew cold.

Leon interrupted him, shrugging indifferently. "It's fine. Let's go again."

"Bold! But I don't want to take advantage of you. If I lose again," Max snapped his fingers, "you will be the supreme VIP of 'Yutian Company'."

"Yutian?" a girl exclaimed.

"That's a good offer," Ethan nodded. Although he didn't like Max's business in entertainment venues, 'Yutian' was well-known in the Red Nation.

Leon seemed indifferent to such things. "Just don't bother Lily anymore."

"Sure thing!" Max agreed.

"Alright."

Leon casually picked a bottle of Luzhou Laojiao from the box, opened it, and started chugging. Max didn't hesitate either, grabbing a bottle and gulping it down.

Their drinking posture was astonishing. Max's bear-like physique was understandable, but Leon's figure didn't seem to match the scene.

Max's drinking capacity far surpassed his subordinates'. He drank three bottles without losing momentum, while Leon leisurely kept pace.

Soon, over ten bottles were stacked on the table.

The strong smell of alcohol filled the room, making everyone feel dizzy. Naturally, it attracted curious onlookers from other rooms, even some beauties from the KTV came over to cheer.

After downing the seventh bottle, Max's vision blurred with golden stars. He resisted the urge to vomit and looked up at Leon.

Is this guy an alien??

Nine empty bottles were already in front of Leon.

"Why don't we call it a draw?" Leon shook his head, placing the half-finished tenth bottle on the table. He had no interest in continuing. Drinking a dozen bottles of water was pointless, and he wondered about the specifics of his ability 97, 'nutrition absorption'.

Max's face was flushed red, and he was drenched in the scent of alcohol. "I give up!!" he yelled before rushing to the KTV restroom, where sounds of vomiting soon followed.

"Wow, we witnessed a god of drinking today!!"

"He's so cool!!"

Cheering erupted around them. Leon was embarrassed, realizing how many people had been watching.

Max's subordinates looked at Leon with reverence and backed away. Ethan said lightly, "Take care of your boss. Remember, he owes my friend Leon a supreme membership card!"

They nodded quickly, not daring to refuse.

Achieving such a level of drinking prowess certainly marked someone as extraordinary.

Leaving the private room, the class reunion ended for Lily Lin. Her former classmates whispered to her, making her blush. As they said their goodbyes, the girls gave Leon meaningful looks.

Leon pretended not to notice.

Since Ethan was taking Wendy back to H University, the recent events had brought them closer. Leon and Lily didn't hesitate to accept a ride in Ethan's Audi.

On the way, Wendy asked Lily about her contract signing. Learning about this, Ethan smiled and said, "Leon, thanks for helping me out today. I won't forget this favor."

"No need. I was just looking out for Lily," Leon said candidly.

Ethan nodded, then hesitantly asked, "Are you really okay?"

"No problem. No matter how strong the liquor, it turns to water in my stomach," Leon laughed.

Wendy was amazed, calling him a monster.

…

Back in the dorm, Leon found only John Wu there. "Where are the other assholes?"

"They went to the observatory for the event the day after tomorrow," John replied without looking up from his computer.

Leon wondered since when those guys were interested in astronomy. "Is there a beautiful girl in the astronomy department?" he joked, not expecting John to laugh.

"Maybe there really is!"

Leon suddenly remembered Michael Fang's call and asked, "Could it be that the exceptional beauty is from the astronomy department?"

John pointed to his computer, showing a post on H University's campus network with over ten thousand replies. "A exceptional beauty has appeared!!"

Leon realized why his roommate was so engrossed in the internet. It was all about the gossip on the stunning beauty.

The post was made by a junior in the astronomy department, claiming to have seen a breathtakingly beautiful girl while observing constellations at the observatory. Since the "U University Four legendary Beauties" appeared, many claimed to have seen the most mysterious exceptional beauty, but this time the impact was greater because the student had taken a photo.

Seeing the photo, Leon was also taken aback.

The photo showed a beautiful girl's profile, standing gracefully on a high platform. Although the figure was somewhat blurred due to the distance, the beauty was undeniable. The most striking feature was her cascading hair, shimmering like gold, even in the dark.

Her bangs covered her eyes, but no one doubted her beauty.

The girl was bathed in moonlight, giving her an ethereal, unreal beauty.

"This..." Leon was amazed.

"Quite dreamy, isn't it?" John sighed.

"Is it possible we have such a dreamy girl at our school?" Leon blinked. But the girl was clearly from H University, as seen from the school emblem.

Such a dreamy girl couldn't possibly be the most mysterious existence at H University.

"After investigation, there's no sign of photo editing. Unfortunately, after taking the photo, she disappeared," John said regretfully.

Leon frowned, feeling the surreal quality was too strange.

"Do you think she's the exceptional beauty?"

"Most likely," Leon nodded, acknowledging her unparalleled beauty.

The door opened, and Michael Fang and Daniel Zhang returned, with Michael holding a camera and looking dejected. It was understandable for Michael to be excited about photographing the stunning beauty, but it seemed even Daniel was dragged along.

"Damn, the observatory was packed. It was like the Leonid meteor shower all over again," Michael complained.

"But you did get some pictures of pretty girls," Daniel retorted with an eye roll.

Michael's mood lifted instantly, "That's true... but compared to the exceptional beauty, they lack that ethereal quality... so mundane."

Hearing Michael's Beijing accent, the brothers rolled their eyes.

"The exceptional beauty isn't that foolish. She probably won't appear again. It might be better to go through all the records at H University to find her true identity..."

"The detective club has analyzed it," Daniel said. "They believe the exceptional beauty might be a mixed-race or even a noble..."

"Even after searching all the international student records, no one matches this exceptional aura," Michael said helplessly.

"Moreover, when the Four Legendary Beauties were selected, no one knew her name. Only a few had a fleeting glimpse of her under the moonlight, hence the name 'Moonlight'. It probably has nothing to do with her real name."

Leon nodded. This mysterious girl seemed adept at hiding her identity. Unless she had some high-level makeup techniques, it was indeed extraordinary. He suddenly thought of the "Thousand Faces" ability. Could it be related?

Anyway, Leon had to admit he was beginning to take an interest in the stunning beauty.

....

On the shore near a grove of maple trees, a man was running frantically. His eyes glowed red with fear. If Leon saw him, he would recognize him as Liam Li, the guy he fought with at the KTV.

Liam fled in panic, but a golden figure followed swiftly.

The figure, like a beam of light, landed gently in front of Liam, a white sword gleaming.

"Who are you..." Liam's lips trembled,

The girl's golden hair, shimmering like sand, covered her eyes, but her lips curved into a mysterious smile.

"Your enemy!!"

The sword flashed, and blood rained down!
