After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Although it was just a luncheon, the Zhu family prepared an extremely lavish feast.

Old Madam Qin was of such high status that she could be considered one of the most distinguished figures in Jingzhou.

Moreover, they don't usually visit the Zhu family. After all, the two old ladies can see each other every day just by going to the park to listen to opera, so there's no need for them to make a special trip to visit.

The head of the family, Zhu Tianming, and his mother, Madam Zhu, personally accompanied them, along with many other important figures from the Zhu family.

Even Zhu Jiuyou came, staring intently at Ye Bai with a stern face and sinister eyes, like a wild beast ready to devour someone at any moment.

Unfortunately, looks can't kill, so Ye Bai simply ignored them and continued eating and drinking as usual.

He would occasionally chat with Old Madam Zhu for a few minutes, and spend the rest of his time drinking with Zhu Tianming.

Putting everything else aside, the Zhu family patriarch's drinking capacity is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, unlike the Qin family's high-ranking members who enjoy drinking red wine and foreign spirits in a pretentious manner, he has a particular fondness for baijiu (Chinese white liquor).

This suited Ye Bai's taste perfectly. He also liked drinking baijiu (Chinese white liquor) and had little interest in red wine or foreign spirits.

There was no other way; back in the mountains, he couldn't get any foreign liquor or wine, or even beer. The only option was baijiu (Chinese white liquor).

Moreover, they were all high-proof spirits; one sip and you felt like your whole body was on fire.

Only in this way can we withstand the cold and damp climate.

After a while, I got used to the taste.

So Ye Bai and Zhu Tianming finished a bottle of fifty-year-old Moutai in less than half an hour.

Zhu Tianming's face was slightly flushed, while Ye Bai's remained unchanged.

"Little Bai, you're really hiding your true abilities. Your alcohol tolerance is pretty good. Shall we open another bottle?"

A look of surprise flashed in Zhu Tianming's eyes as he smiled and said.

"I'll listen to you, Uncle Zhu."

Ye Bai looked completely indifferent.

He enjoys drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor), but only when he has to choose from several types of liquor.

In fact, he wasn't particularly interested in alcohol.

Normally, when he was at the Qin family home, he basically didn't drink any alcohol.

I only drink when I'm socializing.

If Zhu Tianming wanted to drink, he would drink with him; if the other person had drunk enough, it was fine to end the drinking session.

As a true foodie, his passion for food far surpasses his passion for alcohol.

"Then another bottle! I want to see just how much you can drink!"

Zhu Tianming waved his hand and ordered more wine to be served.

Clearly, when the Zhu family patriarch said in the study that he wanted to drink with Ye Bai until they were both drunk, he wasn't just being polite; he genuinely intended to do it.

First of all, he genuinely admired Ye Bai's attitude of regarding money as dirt.

Zhu Tianming didn't know that Ye Bai couldn't make money from him; he only knew that this young man had given up a small goal without hesitation.

As the head of the Zhu family and the leader of the Zhu Group, Zhu Tianming has come into contact with all sorts of people.

Among them are quite a few outstanding young people.

But someone like Ye Bai, who doesn't care about money at all, is still a rare find in his life!

This instantly elevated his evaluation of Ye Bai to the highest level.

Secondly, from Ye Bai's attitude, he could clearly sense that this kid had no interest in Zhu Daji whatsoever.

This is even more shocking.

While it's rare for a normal man to simply not care about money, such men do exist.

The world is vast, and there is no shortage of people who are indifferent to fame and fortune.

But at the same time, he is also indifferent to women, which is a bit strange.

What's the point of a man's life if he doesn't love money or beautiful women?

Is writing books and biographies meant to benefit the people?

Zhu Tianming believed that he was far from reaching that level, and he didn't think anyone could actually do it.

So the question is, is this kid deliberately faking it, or is he really not normal?

Zhu Tianming couldn't determine it for the time being, but he had the best way to do so.

That means getting Ye Bai drunk.

Truth comes out when one is drunk, and it is always the truth.

Those who haven't spoken the truth can only be said to be drunk enough.

So, if one bottle isn't enough, have another; if one jin isn't enough, have two jin!

Zhu Tianming refused to believe it. With his amazing drinking capacity honed over the years at countless drinking parties, he couldn't possibly defeat a mere kid!

As it turns out, the more beautiful the ideal, the crueler the reality often is.

After finishing all four bottles of Moutai, Zhu Tianming had completely forgotten his original intention of drinking with Ye Bai.

Instead, he grabbed Ye Bai's shoulder, his face flushed and neck thick, and slurred his words as he shouted, "Ye Bai! Brother Bai! Hiccup... From... from today onwards, you... you are my brother! We... we'll get some chicken blood later, today... today we must become sworn brothers..."

Zhu Tianming's maximum alcohol tolerance is two jin of Moutai, and that has to be done slowly, over a long period of time.

But today, the luncheon had only been going on for a little over an hour, and they had already drunk so much; the result was predictable.

In his drunken state, all sorts of nonsense and tests were meaningless; he just wanted to become sworn brothers with Ye Bai and have the other call him "Big Brother."

Zhu Daji, watching from the side, had a black line on her forehead and felt an urge to sever her father-daughter relationship with Zhu Tianming.

In the end, it was only because Madam Zhu couldn't bear to watch any longer that she quickly had Zhu Tianming taken to bed, thus ending the farce.

"Ye Bai, are you even human? How did you get my dad that drunk?"

Zhu Daji leaned close to Ye Bai's ear and angrily questioned him.

"...You're wronging me. It was your dad who kept making me drink!"

Ye Bai rolled his eyes, realizing that these women were all equally adept at distorting the truth.

When he finished the second bottle, he actually suggested that it was about time to stop drinking.

Because Zhu Tianming was already six or seven parts drunk at that time.

But Zhu Tianming, already in a state of excitement, wouldn't listen to any advice. Instead, he thought Ye Bai was scared, so he made even more excited arrangements.

"Something's not right. My dad's so drunk, but you look like you haven't had much to drink. Are you trying to fool him with water?"

After carefully examining Ye Bai, Zhu Daji noticed that although his complexion was somewhat rosy, his eyes were still very clear, and she began to have doubts.

"...Do you think Uncle Zhu is so easy to fool!"

Ye Bai was speechless for a moment, then said unhappily, "By the way, didn't you hear what your dad just said? From now on, we're sworn brothers, and you're my niece! So be polite when you talk to me from now on, I'm your uncle!"

"...'Uncle' sounds too awkward. From now on, when we're alone, I'll just call you Dad, okay?"

Zhu Daji's eyes were alluring as she extended a pink tongue towards Ye Bai and gently licked the corner of her mouth.

"Fuck!"

Ye Bai was instantly jolted awake, his whole body going numb.

He had long known that this great demon spoke without restraint, but he never expected that she would utter such wild and insolent words.

Coupled with those seductive and suggestive actions, even Ye Bai, the "Great Sage," found it hard to resist.

"Can't you two find another place to flirt like that? Am I so invisible that you treat me like I don't exist?"

A cold, murderous voice rang out; it belonged to Qin Wanqing, who was sitting on the other side of Ye Bai, her beautiful eyes practically spitting fire...
