Chapter 653 Impress Everyone by Drinking
Li Jiumei could tell what was on his mind. She did not know whether Qin Haodong was a drinker, so she said worriedly, “Haodong, our wine has a strong delaying effect. You don’t have to drink too much if you’re unused to it.”
The three brothers seemed to have finally found the weakness of their brother-in-law. Li Jiugao shouted, “No! Of course not! Today is a big day and as a man, you have to drink. We have to get thoroughly drunk today!”
“Yes! We have to get thoroughly drunk today!”
Qin Haodong also agreed. He picked a jar of wine next to him, knocked off the seal and poured the wine into his mouth like a whale sucking in seawater.
He finished the five-pound jar of wine within a minute and all the people present were astonished. In fact, as a man of 100% wood property, this jar of wine was no different from water for him.
“Wow! Great! No wonder Holy Virgin chose him as her husband...”
“He’s both a great drinker and a good man...”
The people of Hmong Village were simple and honest. They respected capable people and those who were good at drinking. So Qin Haodong completely won the approval of everyone here.
After finishing the wine, he turned the jar upside down and said to Great Bear, “Bro, I’ve finished mine. Now it’s your turn!”
Great Bear wanted to share the jar of wine with others, but he did not expect Qin Haodong to finish it all by himself. He had never seen such a thing before.
He was straightforward and since Qin Haodong had finished the wine all by himself, he did not want to be outdone. So he directly picked up the jar and drank it.
But it was the pure grain wine made by themselves. It tasted good, but it had a strong delaying effect. He fell to the ground with a bang and was stone-cold drunk before he even finished his wine.
Li Wanquan waved his hand and someone immediately came over and brought Great Bear back to his home. Li Wanquan looked at Qin Haodong and felt even more satisfied with him now.
After drinking Great Bear down, Qin Haodong opened another jar of wine and said to the three brothers, “You’ve said that we must get thoroughly drunk today. So let’s do it and I’ll finish mine first!”
Then he drank up the whole jar of wine.
The three brothers were astonished. If they hadn’t seen Qin Haodong open the jar, they would have thought that he was drinking water rather than wine.
They were quite good at drinking, but each of them could only have two or three pounds of wine. If they finished all the wine in this jar, they would definitely pass out like Great Bear.
Li Jiugao said quickly, “Brother-in-law, you’re really good at drinking. But we’re a family and there’s no need to drink like this...”
Li Jiufu also put down the jar and said with a big smile, “Yes! Bro, please stop drinking and have some food!”
Li Jiushuai said, “Grandpa has taught us to drink less and eat more since we were kids. We’re grown men now, but it’s better to control ourselves and drink less...”
Song Ying realized that her sons were giving up, so she said to Qin Haodong, “Young man, you’ve been on the road for the whole day. Just have something to eat.”
She was also satisfied with her son-in-law now. At the same time, she was curious and wondered how he could finish two jars of wine without getting drunk. It was amazing.
Other young men in Hmong Village were also astonished by his drinking capacity and no one dared to challenge him anymore. Qin enjoyed the rest of his meal without being disturbed.
After dinner, Li Wanquan asked Qin Haodong to come to his room.
“Take a seat, young man!” Li Wanquan asked politely, “What do you do?”
“I’m a Chinese medicine practitioner.”
While speaking, Qin Haodong also scrutinized him carefully. Li Wanquan had reached the ninth level of Covert Power and it seemed that he had been stuck at this stage for a long time.
Li Wanquan asked another question, “Qin, have you ever practiced martial arts?”
“Yes, I’ve learnt it for some time.”
Li Wanquan asked, “You’ve reached the level of supreme power, haven’t you?”
Qin Haodong nodded. He wanted to keep a low profile and thus he did not explain that he was now at the ninth-level supreme power.
Li Wanquan changed the topic and continued, “I guess that Jiumei has told you that we will open the Forbidden Area tomorrow.”
Qin Haodong said, “Yes. I’ve heard about that.”
“Then you have to be prepared. You and Jiumei are the last hope of our village. As the descendants of the Jiuli tribes, we have been waiting for thousands of years, but we have not been able to open the forbidden area yet.”
“Oh! Okay...” Qin Haodong answered vaguely. But suddenly he realized something and asked, “Grandpa, isn’t it Jiumei’s task to open the Forbidden Area? What does it to do with me? Why do I have to make preparations?”
Li Wanquan asked with surprise, “Hasn’t she told you?”
Qin Haodong immediately felt that something was wrong. He said, “No, she just said that her blood was required for opening the Forbidden Area, but she did not mention that it had anything to do with me.”
“It seems that this poor girl did not tell you the truth. Well, listen to me.”
Li Wanquan said, “The blood of the Holy Virgin alone is not enough to open the Forbidden Area. We also need the blood of the Divine Son.”
“Divine Son? Who is the Divine Son?”
Qin Haodong asked in surprise.
“Of course it’s you. As the husband of the Holy Virgin, you’re the Divine Son chosen by our village.”
Li Wanquan explained, “According to the ancestral records, opening the Forbidden Area requires the blood of both the Holy Virgin and the Divine Son. You need to enter the place together to get the inheritance of the Jiuli tribe.”
Qin Haodong did not expect that Jiumei had kept so many things from him. He would have to spank her when they went back home later!
But he understood why Jiumei did it. After all, they had been together for a short time and the whole process was a little unusual. She must be afraid that he would not come with her if she told him everything.
“Grandpa, how do we open the Forbidden Area?”
He was afraid that Li Jiumei might also have lied about this. If they needed three liters of blood rather than three drops, he would definitely die from excessive loss of blood and become the sacrifice.
Li Wanquan told him the way to open the Forbidden Area, which was the same as what Li Jiumei had described. She did not lie to him about this.
After speaking, he suddenly threw away his crutch and knelt in front of Qin Haodong, “Qin, on behalf of tens of thousands of people in Hmong Village, I beg you to help us to open the Forbidden Area and get the inheritance of Master Chiyou.”
Qin Haodong was shocked and he immediately helped the old man up, “Grandpa, please get up. We can talk about it.”
Li Wanquan said excitedly, “Our Jiuli Tribe is the descendant of Chiyou, but the power of his inheritance is locked in the Forbidden Area.
“We’ve tried so many times for the past thousands of years, according to the rules of getting the inheritance, but we failed every time and could not open this place to get the inheritance. Therefore, our tribe gradually declined.”
“We only know some general methods of cultivation, so we could only reach the ninth-level of the Covert Power. We can’t go any further because of the lack of methods.”
“We only have some Witchcraft and poison techniques to rely on now, which is only a small part of Chiyou’s omnipotent skills. It’s far from enough and we need to open the area and get the inheritance to make our tribe strong again.”
“I know you don’t belong to our Jiuli Tribe and Jiumei must have used some unknown means against you.”
“But as the patriarch of the Jiuli Tribe, I beg you to help us to open the Forbidden Area. You will be a great benefactor of our tribe if you help us this time.”
“Don’t worry, grandpa, I’ll do whatever I can do for you.”
Qin Haodong was responsible and since Li Jiumei was his girlfriend now, he would do his best to help her.
Li Wanquan said gratefully, “Thank you, young man. Thank you so much. But we have no idea what the Forbidden Area looks like or if there’s any danger inside. No one has ever entered this place for thousands of years.”
“It’s nothing. I’ll bring Jiumei back safely.”
He had visited ancient ruins of famous mountains and rivers everywhere when he was still in the Cultivation World. So he was not too bothered about the dangers with his current ability.
But he soon added, “Grandpa, I don’t understand. This is the Forbidden Area of your Jiuli Tribe and I’m just an outsider. Why are you entrusting me with this task?”
Li Wanquan explained, “According to the ancient records of our Jiuli Tribe, we need the blood of the Holy Virgin and the Divine Son to open this place. But it doesn’t give us much information about the Divine Son.”
“In the past few years, we have chosen the Divine Son from our own tribe, but we had never succeeded.”
“This time I took the risk to let Jiumei enter the outside world. If she can find a suitable man, he will be the Divine Son; if not, we’ll still choose the man from our tribe.”
“I did not expect that you were such a wonderful young person. I feel that you’re better than any other Divine Sons. Maybe it’s time to open the Forbidden Area.”
“Grandpa, if possible, I will do my best to help you open the Forbidden Area.”
Qin Haodong was in possession of the Xuanyuan Sword, which was also the inheritance of the Yellow Emperor. He was also curious about Chiyou and wondered what he had left for his descendants.
They talked for a while and Li Wanquan told him everything about the opening of the Forbidden Area. Then he was sent back to his room.
He locked the door and saw Li Jiumei sitting on the bed, looking very pitiful. She looked like a cute baby and said, “Has grandpa told you everything?”
“Yes. How dare you lie to me? I have to punish you.”
Then Qin Haodong pulled Li Jiumei over and spanked her on her butt. There was a crisp slapping sound as she blushed and looked at Qin affectionately.
Li Jiumei explained, “I did not mean to lie to you. I was afraid that it would scare you and you would not come here with me.”
“I know there may be dangers in the forbidden area, so I don’t want you to go with me. You just need to open the Forbidden Area and I’ll go by myself.”
Qin Haodong knew that she was sincere. He kissed her on the cheek and said, “Silly girl, you’re my girlfriend and I will ensure your safety. How can I let you face this alone?”
