The wedding ceremony proceeded unexpectedly smoothly.

The crowd below could do nothing but drink to congratulate them, albeit begrudgingly, wishing they could eliminate Jiang Xiaobai.

The moment the wedding was completed, Jiang Xiaobai received a reward from the system.

One-tenth of the Art of the Grand Supreme Elder of Potion-making.

This was the potion-making technique of the Grand Supreme Elder, even though it was only one-tenth, it was still an invaluable treasure.

Jiang Xiaobai saw a reward for potion-making skill before, but he did not take it, and this time’s potion-making skill of the Grand Supreme Elder was much stronger than the regular potion-making skill.

Feeling a wave of extensive information rushing into his brain, Jiang Xiaobai was momentarily dazed.

Suddenly, he saw what seemed to be a massive red point within Ao Yan’s body, just as he was trying to see it clearly.

A delicate little hand grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s arm and pulled fiercely.

“Don’t be in a daze.”

A cold and indifferent voice came from the side.

It was only then Jiang Xiaobai snapped out of it and realized that it was time for the toast.

He suddenly felt apprehensive.

The toast required him to drink with numerous people in the crowd.

Leaving aside whether he would be drunk to death by the tens of thousands of people, judging from his previous actions, he was afraid there wouldn’t be any good outcomes.

Fortunately, he did not trigger a choice this time, otherwise who knows how the system would have set him up.

As his thoughts ran rampant, Jiang Xiaobai had already arrived at the first table.

This table was filled with the top young elites of Dragon Valley.

“Hehe, happy wedding, big sister. I’ll down this cup in your honor first.”

“I’ll down my cup too.”

“Congratulations, big sister. Wishing you happiness.”

The outstanding young people of Dragon Valley stood up and emptied their cups.

Seeing this, Ao Yan nodded indifferently and casually finished her drink.

It was clear that Ao Yan indeed held an extraordinary status in Dragon Valley!

Jiang Xiaobai also raised his cup, but as he picked it up, he abruptly turned his head.

A dark gaze was directed at him.

“What are you looking at? Haven’t seen a handsome guy before?”

Ao Tianheng nearly spat out blood. He clenched both fists, ready to attack.

However, he eventually held back.

Before long, Jiang Xiaobai arrived at Ao Tianheng’s table, who chuckled coldly in his heart.

With a subtle movement of the hand under the table, an attack of spiritual energy was headed for Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai, with two rewards and currently at the intermediate level of the Yuan Infant cultivation level, felt the incoming surge of spiritual energy. However, the person who attacked, clearly, was more powerful than him.

He didn’t have time to react.

Thud.

Jiang Xiaobai fell solidly to the ground.

“Hahaha, serves you right, you arrogant dog. You got your just desserts!”

“Useless trash, can’t even hold his liquor after a few cups?”

“Trash will always be trash, only good at engaging in verbal battles.”

Without any hesitation, those surrounding him began to ridicule.

Ao Yan’s eyebrows knitted together, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

“What happened?”

Despite her lack of interest in this mortal being, they were still in the middle of their wedding, after all, she had chosen him because he was good looking.

“If you can’t drink, just stop.” Ao Yan said indifferently.

Jiang Xiaobai climbed up from the ground, showing no sign of embarrassment. Instead, he looked relaxed.

“Cheer up, we’ve barely started. I’m going to out drink them today!”

Jiang Xiaobai said, laughing. But in his heart, he felt chilly.

There were many people around, and although he knew that someone was attacking him, he couldn’t tell who it was based on his current level of cultivation.

However, while those people wished him dead, they wouldn’t dare to make a move right under Ao Yan’s nose.

The only one who would dare to do this must believe they were on the same level as Ao Yan.

So, it must have been Ao Tianheng.

“Hehe, if this dog dares to attack stealthily, he should wait and see.” Jiang Xiaobai thought coldly, lifting a new cup of wine and emptied it.

He continued the toasts.

Soon, after finishing toasts with the many outstanding youths of Dragon Valley, he finally arrived at the other tables.

Just as he walked up, Jiang Xiaobai felt like he had a hair-raising sensation.

Tense glances bore into him from every direction.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t find this threatening, he used to be a bit nervous, but now, Ao Yan was standing beside him, he didn’t fear this rabble at all.

Those who dare to stir up trouble shall face the music.

Indeed, Ao Yan was quite the suppressive force, those around could only glare at Jiang Xiaobai with resentful stares, no one dared to utter a mocking word.

“What do you think, how long can our Boss’s ‘son-in-law’ last?”

“Him? He’s just a mortal, I reckon he’s about to give up.”

“Let’s bet, I say he can still chug for two more rounds.”

“Bet what?”

“How about… just a small bet, ten tertiary spirit stones?”

“Let’s make that bet, come on, anyone else want in on this?”

A swarm of young dragons from the valley came together, glaring hard at Jiang Xiaobai.

After one, then two rounds, Jiang Xiaobai still didn’t plummet.

“Hmm, this ain’t right. Let’s go again, if he survives three more rounds, he’s down!”

The person who laid the bet grunted.

But what happened next defied everyone’s calculations. Jiang Xiaobai kept drinking for a whole hour!

“Impossible, how can an ordinary person drink like this!?”

The young dragon who started the bet was stupefied. He grabbed at his hair in a frenzy.

“Keep it rolling, he’ll surely fall after ten rounds.”

He was determined not to back down today. Was Jiang Xiaobai going to keep drinking till the end?

After the ten rounds, Jiang Xiaobai was still standing remarkably upright.

“Ao Cheng, how about giving up?” someone chuckled.

From the beginning till now, Ao Cheng had lost tens of thousands at the rate of ten tertiary spirit stones per round.

Even though Ao Cheng didn’t believe in luck. He stubbornly continued, appearing to have descended into madness.

The crowd around shook their heads and stepped back from the game.

At this moment, Ao Cheng’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Jiang Xiaobai.

He couldn’t comprehend how a mere mortal could drink so much. He himself would struggle to do so without using his spiritual power!

In truth, Jiang Xiaobai had been using his spiritual power to counteract the alcohol. Otherwise, he would have blacked out after the first dozen rounds.

The fact that nobody knew of his powers till now was because Jiang Xiaobai had the system conceal his abilities.

And it worked really well.

Three hours later, Jiang Xiaobai had drunk every available drink!

The crowd made sounds of astonishment. What an impressive mortal, possessing such a high tolerance for alcohol?

Meanwhile, in a corner, Ao Cheng was nearly driven to madness…

Thud!

Returning to his room with a heavy alcohol breath, Jiang Xiaobai sat down and displayed a face of utter desolation.

Despite being able to dispel the drunkenness with his spiritual power, the bloating from all the liquid consumed made him uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ao Yan walked in with an indifferent expression.

As she stepped in, her aura gradually turned icy cold, re-establishing herself as the top dog of the valley’s younger generation.

“How are you feeling?”

Ao Yan asked calmly.

“I’m alright. It’s impressive that you would play along with my act,” he replied calmly. “Why did you have to make me act as your husband if you don’t want to be married?”

Ao Yan squinted her eyes. It seems this guy was quick on the uptake.

“Since it’s like this, let’s lay everything on the table. I indeed had a purpose when I asked you to marry me. Don’t get any ideas about our relationship. Our ‘marriage’ is just a cover,”

As she spoke, an icy aura radiated from Ao Yan: “As for your past insolence towards me, don’t dwell on it too much. I can let it slide. But if you overstep…”

“You shall bear the consequences.”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded. Though he was eager to win over this high-spirited ‘T-Rex’ lady, he knew the best approach was patience and persistence.

He decided not to discuss the subject further and instead diverged the topic.

“Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

“Come, let me feel your hand…”
