Drink This Jug of Wine!

"Marriage Ceremony!"

As the voice of an old fox spirit spread throughout the White Emperor City palace with Spiritual Power, the crowd erupted in noise once more.

At the same time, the breathing of the nearly thirty lords who were preparing to rebel became heavier.

According to the plan Jiang Lin gave at the luncheon, the plan would begin when the Marriage Ceremony took place.

At the same time, many feudal lords began to secretly exchange hand signals, and their attendants, seeing this, would use excuses to sneak out of the palace.

Unbeknownst to the cultivators in the palace who were merely attending the wedding, troops were already beginning to assemble outside White Emperor City.

Under normal circumstances, scouts would have certainly issued a warning to the White Emperor City Palace, but after an incense stick's time, there was no reaction at all.

The garrison of White Emperor City seemed to be asleep, without making a sound.

At this point, all the feudal lords were basically relieved.

It seems that Jiang Lin is indeed on my side; he has indeed dealt with those scouts and successfully dismantled the defenders' defenses.

Inside the palace, Bai Jiu Yi had already arrived at the main hall.

The Bow to Heaven and Earth is about to begin.

Some of the feudal lords have even begun to fantasize about carrying her, dressed in her wedding gown, into their mansions tonight!

In their minds, Bai Jiu Yi was already one of their spoils.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

The Marriage Ceremony began with Jiang Lin and Bai Jiu Yi each holding a red ribbon tied with a large red flower, bowing to heaven and earth.

"Bowing to the parents again!"

Bai Jiu Yi's parents had both passed away, so Jiang Lin would never allow his master to accept his rites of paying respects to his parents.

Therefore, the two could only pay homage to the Ancient Sword God who led humanity to victory over the gods, and the portrait of the first Nine-tailed Sky Fox to Ascension.

After all, Jiang Lin is Sword Cultivator.

Bai Ling and Bai Qiao had previously discussed whether to become disciples of the most famous Flower-Picking Thief in the history of Vast and Righteous World, but Jiang Lin decisively refused!

For some reason, Jiang Lin Jiang Lin felt uneasy looking at the portrait of the legendary human sword god, and he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

After paying their respects to the portrait, Jiang Lin and Bai Jiu Yi bowed to each other.

"Send them to the bridal chamber!"

Led by a maid, Jiang Lin and Bai Jiu Yi were led into the bridal chamber.

However, according to custom, after Jiang Lin and Bai Jiu Yi were escorted to their bridal chamber, he was still required to come out and greet the guests.

So Jiang Lin reappeared...

Outside the palace, various noises rose and fell, and Jiang Lin, having completed the entire ritual, felt somewhat nervous.

These feudal lords are about to rebel under my leadership; how could I not be nervous?

"Young Master Jiang! You've won the heart of your beauty today, let's have a drink first!"

"Haha, one pot isn't enough! Zhen Di Sha, come over and put on a show to liven things up."

"Hey! Brother Flood Dragon? You can't hold your liquor!"

"Bi Fang Little Brother, do you know how to become a real Bifang? You'll have to break both of your legs first."

"Nonsense, I'm finished if I lose both legs!"

"Olive! Come on! Boil this pot of wine!"

At the palace banquet, without the constraints of a luncheon, the wine emboldened everyone.

After all, while tonight's outcome is certain, there's still a bit of excitement in rebelling.

This was especially true for Jiang Lin.

Panic! How can we not panic? These people are all at least at the Nascent Soul Realm stage... We need to drink more!

"Alright, you all get out of here, we'll pour the drinks ourselves!"

After drinking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Lin gave a "scolding" and ordered the fox-clan maids in the palace to leave.

The fox maids hesitated for a moment, but since Jiang Lin was now their master, they bowed and left.

After the palace maids left, Bai Ling Bai Qiao led them to a safe place.

In the side courtyard of the palace, Bai Ling Bai Qiao, and five Nascent Soul Realm white foxes were already resting, preparing to face the enemy at any moment.

As for the four or five little fans of Bai Jiu Yi, they naturally understood after Bai Ling and Bai Qiao secretly communicated with them, and then suddenly realized what was going on, and finally "fell" into a daze.

Then Bai Ling Bai Qiao led her into the backyard.

After the maids left, Jiang Lin and the guests continued their revelry, drinking heavily and indulging in the finest wines, until more and more people passed out drunk.

Even though Jiang Lin wasn't drunk, he put several packets of the Sun Moon Sect's secret sleeping potion, Bi You Du, into his wine pot. It was colorless and odorless, and if you used enough, it could put you to sleep for an hour even in the Jade Purity Realm.

As for why the feudal lords weren't given the poison...

Jiang Lin was just waiting for them to rebel, and then he would use that as an excuse to get rid of them. If he were to poison them to death, the situation would be completely different, and the various fiefdoms of the White Empire would be thrown into chaos.

This is also where the Empire faces more trouble than sects.

As for the advantages of cultivator empires compared to immortal cultivation sects, they naturally have their own.

For example, one aspect is that promising cultivators can be directly recruited without trading with the empire, eliminating middlemen and their markups.

"The magic array inside the palace will malfunction after two incense sticks have burned, at which point there will be a huge explosion."

During this period, I will reduce my attention to Bai Jiu Yi; I definitely want to try her taste too.

Upon hearing the explosion, you should rush directly to the backyard of the palace. Remember, the magical artifact I brought from the Demon Race World can only interfere with the palace's magic array for half an hour.

A swift and decisive victory!

There are also some unrelated cultivators who aren't drunk yet. Get them drunk first, I still have medicine here. You can kill these people if you want, if you're not afraid of being punished by their sects afterwards."

Slightly drunk, Jiang Lin staggered towards the inner palace.

Many warlords sighed as they watched Jiang Lin's figure.

What a pity, the Number One Beauty Under Heaven is about to be tasted by him!

But it's alright! As long as we breach White Emperor City tonight, that Bai Jiu Yi... hehehe... won't be able to escape my clutches.

At this moment, inside the palace, the woman lifted a corner of her Red Veil.

Looking at her empty yet familiar boudoir, which felt somewhat strange to her, Bai Jiu Yi got out of bed and walked to the table.

There is a pot of wine and two wine cups on the table, for the final toast.

After pouring two cups of red fermented rice wine, the woman circulated her Spiritual Power, her delicate, rosy lips slightly parted, and a drop of her Heart Blood floated from her mouth, eventually dripping into one of the cups.

The marriage of the fox clan is not just a simple marriage; it is a connection of the great Dao and a ritual.

After Jiang Lin completed each step of the wedding customs today, the Red String in Jiang Lin hand grew thicker and thicker, and now only this final step remained.

As long as Jiang Lin drinks the Heart Blood wine that Bai Jiu Yi poured into him, their Red String will be connected.

Similarly, if Jiang Lin doesn't truly love Bai Jiu Yi, then the Red String connecting them will break the moment they are connected.

For Jiang Lin, even if it were to be severed, it wouldn't matter.

But for Bai Jiu Yi, it wasn't just the Red String that was severed, but the very foundation of her Dao...

Just as Bai Jiu Yi finished reciting the Magic Arts, Jiang Lin arrived at the inner palace in the backyard.

Standing before the door adorned with wedding paper and red lanterns, Jiang Lin a deep breath, purchased a Sobering Pill from the system, circulated his Spiritual Power to dispel the smell of alcohol, and gently knocked on the door.
