Chapter 645 - 381: Jade Dragon’s Oceanic Drunkenness
Unlike Luo Zhenzhen, who had caused some trouble afterward, Luo Gang wasn’t dissatisfied that Zou Feng had deliberately hidden his abilities during the matchmaking.
Even after learning of Zou Feng’s various achievements while hunting Tribulation Cultivators, he never asked to change his son-in-law.
This was understandable. Marriage was a serious matter, not something to be changed on a whim.
As a hegemon in his own right, Luo Gang couldn’t afford to lose face like that.
Besides, no matter how unimpressive Zhao Feixiong’s performance had been lately, he had still established a Celestial Tier Dao Foundation and had the clear makings of a True Inheritor. There was nothing to regret.
Moreover, Luo Gang was surely aware of his daughter’s improper conduct and her many flaws. Only a super "loli" fanatic like Zhao Feixiong would willingly and unreservedly take her on.
As for the Ninth Princess, Luo Zhenzhen, she had not yet arrived either.
Before long, the groom, Zhao Feixiong, walked in, surrounded by a crowd of Cultivators.
His face was flushed, and he looked incredibly excited.
Zou Feng even saw the man’s hands trembling slightly from time to time.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhao!"
Taking a few steps forward, Zou Feng naturally had to congratulate him in person.
"It’s all thanks to Junior Brother Zou for making it happen!" Zhao Feixiong said sincerely.
On the day of the matchmaking, Zou Feng had deliberately hidden his abilities, not wanting to be chosen. Zhao Feixiong had, of course, seen it all.
"Not at all, not at all. Let’s have a few drinks later!" Zou Feng said with a couple of coughs.
Zhao Feixiong immediately shook his head upon hearing this. "There will be plenty of opportunities to drink later. Right now, I just want to get to the bridal chamber."
"Why go through all this trouble? Just come out, bow, and head straight to the bridal chamber. It would be so much simpler!"
So, the guy was trembling uncontrollably with excitement at the thought of finally consummating the marriage with his ideal woman.
Just as Zou Feng was wondering how to respond, the bride, Luo Zhenzhen, slowly walked into the hall, led by a group of Maids.
Although Cultivator weddings didn’t typically follow mortal customs, Luo Zhenzhen was still dressed in magnificent attire, her face hidden by a red bridal veil.
Seeing this, Zhao Feixiong wasn’t impressed by Luo Zhenzhen’s attire. Instead, he said impatiently, "Tsk, why wear so much? It’ll be a pain to take off later!"
Zou Feng couldn’t help but glance at Zhao Feixiong. ’I never realized this guy was so repressed...’
’Could it be that because he couldn’t find his ideal type for a hundred years, he’s really been bottling it all up?’
’After being repressed for so long, once it all bursts out...’
’When they’re finally sent to the bridal chamber, I’m afraid the entire Celestial Hearing Tower will shake nonstop, as if hit by an earthquake.’
’In the worst-case scenario, Luo Zhenzhen might even cry and demand to annul the marriage afterward.’
But Zou Feng wasn’t about to meddle in such affairs. He turned his attention to the wine jugs on the tables.
Just by scent alone, he could tell that although the quality of this wine was quite good, it was far from the "thousand-year vintage" that had been mentioned.
So, he looked over to the head table, the one where Luo Gang was seated.
Luo Gang would definitely be sitting with Jiang Wanzhao and Yu Lingxiao.
So the Spirit Wine at the Golden Core Realm table...
First of all, the wine jugs were a different shape from those at the other tables. They were completely sealed, obviously to prevent the aroma from escaping.
’No doubt about it. If the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race really did bring a thousand-year vintage, it must be in one of those jugs.’
’I thought everyone would get a share, but it turns out there’s only one jug, and it’s at the head table?’
This gave Zou Feng quite a headache. After all, the seating was arranged by Realm. That was the "adults’" table for the Golden Core Realm experts, while he could only sit at the "kids’" table.
’Looks like I’ll have to give Jiang Wanzhao a meaningful look later.’
Just as he was pondering how to snag a few cups of the thousand-year vintage, Jiang Wanzhao and Yu Lingxiao arrived side by side.
The current Jiang Wanzhao was tall and voluptuous, in her mature "big sister" form. Her gaze was imperious, and her aura was at its maximum.
It was as if she were showing off to everyone that she could be "grown up" again.
Another reason for her high spirits was that Jiang Wanzhao felt she had accumulated enough accomplishments. Before long, she would be able to return to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect and join the campaign to conquer the Outer Realm.
Her Cultivation path was finally back on track.
The vast majority of the Cultivators present couldn’t help but be captivated by the charm of her mature form—with the obvious exception of Zhao Feixiong.
His eyes, as he looked at Jiang Wanzhao, were filled with nothing but endless regret.
’Such a perfect ideal type, ruined just like that...’
In fact, the reason Zhao Feixiong had fallen for Luo Zhenzhen so quickly was that after his disappointment with Jiang Wanzhao, his past obsession had simply transferred over.
Next to Jiang Wanzhao, Yu Lingxiao was not in good shape.
It was obvious she had been tied up with various matters recently and was extremely troubled.
Right now, she was just forcing a smile.
Of course, this was normal. After all, even her own Commander-in-Chief had run into trouble. She would definitely be held accountable by the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect later, so it would be a wonder if Yu Lingxiao had been sleeping well recently.
Next, the three hosts—Jiang Wanzhao, Yu Lingxiao, and Luo Gang—each said a few polite words, and the wedding banquet officially began.
As for the ceremony the bride and groom had to perform, it was as simple as could be.
First, there was no need to bow to heaven and earth.
Instead, they bowed from a distance toward the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, then bowed toward Yu Long Lake.
Finally, they bowed to each other as husband and wife, and the ceremony was complete.
However, to Zhao Feixiong’s great annoyance, he still couldn’t go directly to the bridal chamber. He had to go around and toast everyone present, one by one.
Then, he could only watch helplessly as Luo Zhenzhen was escorted to the bridal chamber first.
Regarding Luo Zhenzhen, no matter how many rumors there were about her, they were mostly due to her own actions. Others wouldn’t dare to fool around with her.
So Zhao Feixiong’s judgment wasn’t wrong. At least during their time at the Celestial Hearing Tower, it would be impossible for Luo Zhenzhen to cuckold him.
Zou Feng, however, stopped paying attention to Zhao Feixiong, whose impatience was written all over his face. He immediately used his Token to send Jiang Wanzhao a message.
’There’s no point in beating around the bush. I might as well just tell Jiang Wanzhao directly that I want to drink the thousand-year vintage.’
Jiang Wanzhao replied quickly, "Are you sure? This wine is a fine vintage for a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, but for a Dao Foundation Realm Cultivator, it could be poison!"
"Poison? Even better!"
At that, Jiang Wanzhao immediately stopped trying to persuade him. She stood up and waved Zou Feng over.
Zou Feng, of course, went forward at once.
"Zou Feng, your contributions during this time have been immense. You deserve to drink this wine to the dregs!" As she spoke, Jiang Wanzhao handed her own freshly filled cup of the thousand-year vintage to Zou Feng.
Seeing this, neither Luo Gang nor Yu Lingxiao said anything to dissuade him.
After all, Jiang Wanzhao had just drunk some of this wine and knew very well how potent it was.
Since she still chose to bestow the wine upon Zou Feng under these circumstances, there was naturally no need for them to worry.
"The Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect is truly full of talent. With these two juniors assisting you in the future, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you will surely advance even further!" Luo Gang’s eyes were filled with admiration for Zou Feng.
’Advance even further?’
’Beyond a True Inheritor is a Direct Disciple—a designated successor to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s top leadership.’
That flattery truly hit the mark with Jiang Wanzhao.
She had turned the tables on her difficult situation and would soon be making a powerful return to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. In this process, Zou Feng had indeed played the role of a "lucky general."
And as for Luo Gang’s auspicious words, there was actually a real chance...
"Come, this king will have a cup with you!"
Seeing that Zou Feng had already taken the cup, Luo Gang also raised his. "This wine is called Jade Dragon’s Abyssal Intoxication. Its brewing method is a secret of my Yu Long Lake Dragon Race, passed down to none. If one can withstand the domineering potency of its spirit, one can comprehend the True Dragon Power!"
’He’s really hyping it up. I wonder how it compares to the boost from my Evil King’s Flame-Slaying Black Dragon Wave?’
After thanking him, Zou Feng and Luo Gang drank it all in one gulp.
The moment the "Jade Dragon’s Abyssal Intoxication" entered his mouth, Zou Feng felt as if hundreds of dragons were roaring in unison within his sea of consciousness.
At the same time, a strange fire seemed to ignite within his body, threatening to burn him to ashes.
However, the uncomfortable sensation only lasted for a few breaths. After Zou Feng circulated the Heart Skill of the Drunken Immortal Moon Chasing Step, only a pleasant, tipsy warmth remained.
But after a moment, he could feel the wine performing some kind of transformation on his body.
Just as Zou Feng was about to savor it, the roar of a hundred dragons in his sea of consciousness came to an abrupt halt!
Black smoke immediately billowed up, and he found himself once again in that gloomy courtroom.
The Judge’s originally blurry face actually began to clear up.
At the same time, another name appeared on the List of Gods: Luo Gang!
