When King Ning went to find the Drinking Immortal, the Drinking Immortal was in its temple, drinking jubilantly and merrily.
Seeing King Ning appear, the thoroughly drunk Drinking Immortal thought he was hallucinating and staggered over to King Ning, slurring, "King Ning, you've come! Let me tell you something, I don't need your help to have my revenge!"
"Smack!" With a sound, King Ning slapped the Drinking Immortal across the face, immediately waking him from his drunken stupor.
Once sober, the Drinking Immortal's eyes popped open, and he immediately fell to his knees in front of King Ning, weeping and begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty, spare my life! I had no idea Your Majesty would grace my humble abode and thought it was just a hallucination from my drunkenness!"
