164: System, I’m knocking!

“Why do you always compete with him? You drank so much.”

Su Qingwan helped Li Youqian back to the villa and settled him on the sofa.

“You don’t understand. This is the first confrontation between a son-in-law and his father-in-law. I absolutely cannot lose!”

There’s a saying: as long as you make your father-in-law happy with drinks, the bride price won’t be an issue!

“So, you directly drank my dad under the table?”

Su Qingwan couldn’t help but laugh remembering Su YanTian clinging to the table leg, refusing to let go.

This was the first time she had seen her father drunk; he had always known his limits before.

“Alright, you sit here for a bit. I’ll go see if the kitchen has the hangover soup ready.”

“Young man, feeling uncomfortable? Want to throw up?”

“Then take a Thousand Cups Undefeated Pill!”

“Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission! You are awarded one Thousand Cups Undefeated Pill.”

“The pill has been placed in your pocket.”

Li Youqian took out the small pill and then fell into deep suspicion.

This thing… why does it look so much like a death pill?

System, you didn’t just rub this off your body, did you?

“Are you f*cking kidding me? Do you think I’m Ji Gong?”

“Eat it if you want, throw it away if you don’t!”

Li Youqian put the small pill into his mouth, and immediately a stale smell permeated his taste buds.

“Ugh~”

He already wanted to vomit from the alcohol, and now he wanted to vomit even more.

“Don’t throw up, or you’ll have to eat the Vomit Pill later~”

Li Youqian swallowed with difficulty, but he couldn’t get the small pill down no matter how hard he tried.

This damn thing was just too disgusting!

“Why don’t you take a sip of water to swallow it?”

“I’m getting more and more curious, how did you even live this long?”

“With your IQ, you should have dug your own grave by now.”

Li Youqian took a sip of water and finally swallowed the thing down.

“Phew, much better.”

As expected of a high-tech product, as soon as the small pill entered his stomach, the alcohol in his body rapidly dissipated.

“Brother System, what era is this product from?”

“It’s quite effective.”

“Hmm… accurately speaking, this is not a product of technological civilization.”

“Uh… how do I put it, you can actually think of this as Ji Gong~”

“This was actually rubbed off a certain creature~”

So… he just ate a f*cking parasite?

Li Youqian covered his mouth and rushed into the bathroom. This time, he really couldn’t hold it down; it was already at his mouth.

“Ugh~”

System, I curse your ancestors!

“Heh, if I had told you in advance, would you have eaten it?”

“Besides, this thing is a treasure for you.”

“It can constantly nourish your spleen and stomach, and also help you grow some brains, so you won’t be as silly as you are now.”

...

“Get up, it’s time.”

“Don’t sleep anymore, you can’t be late today.”

At seven in the morning, Su Qingwan pulled Li Youqian out of his fragrant bed.

Today was the official ceremony, and the heads of all major families would be present.

“I know, I know.”

Li Youqian slowly put on his special “formal attire.” Calling it formal attire, it was actually just a plain white robe.

“It’s not a funeral, why wear plain white?”

Li Youqian didn’t like wearing white; he always felt it was unlucky.

“Alright, you’ll only wear it for a little while, it’s not like you have to wear it all the time.”

Su Qingwan was quite helpless with her fiancé.

If you called him childish, he was actually quite reliable.

If you called him mature, he often had a childish temper.

“Breakfast is ready. I’m going down first, you come down and eat quickly too.”

Even though she had already seen Li Youqian’s body, Su Qingwan was still embarrassed to watch him change.

“I know, I know, why are you like an old man, so nagging?”

“We’re not even married yet; what will it be like after we’re married?”

Li Youqian disliked being nagged the most; it was like chanting scriptures.

He wasn’t someone who couldn’t distinguish priorities. Even though he was usually very lazy, he knew exactly what to do and when.

“Heh, there are plenty of people who want to hear me nag, only you find me annoying.”

Normally, Su Qingwan was a complete ice queen, commonly known as having a poker face.

She rarely showed a good expression to others.

“Alright, alright, you go down first. I’ll get ready.”

Su Qingwan had just sat down at the dining table and taken two bites when Li Youqian came down.

“You… weren’t you going to get ready? How are you down already?”

How many minutes had it been? He was done getting ready?

“I’m done. Washing my face and brushing my teeth doesn’t take long, does it?”

“My skin is naturally beautiful, I don’t need skincare at all.”

Li Youqian had seen before that many people online used various skincare products daily, and washing their face was more troublesome than taking a bath.

He only used facial cleanser at most, sometimes not even that, and his skin was still perfectly fine.

As for hand cream, foundation, or hydrating serums, he had never bought any.

“You…”

Su Qingwan was speechless for a moment. She spent about twenty minutes getting ready every time.

She had never heard of anyone as fast as Li Youqian.

“Stop with the ‘you, you, you.’ Hurry up and eat, then let’s go.”

After Li Youqian sat down, he grabbed a large bun with his left hand and a fried dough stick with his right, drinking soy milk in big gulps, finishing the battle in three minutes.

He had specifically requested these breakfast items.

Soy milk with fried dough sticks, and meat buns with tofu pudding, simply delightful~

“Alright, I’m done eating, you eat quickly.”

Su Qingwan looked at the pastry in her hand, less than half-eaten, and nodded numbly.

This man… he had character.

Accustomed to slow, deliberate chewing, Su Qingwan had never seen anyone eat as quickly as Li Youqian.

She tried taking a big bite like Li Youqian, and the feeling was indeed quite good!

Li Youqian glanced at this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Although he usually didn’t pay much attention to his image, he rarely acted like this today.

His goal was to pull Su Qingwan, this “fairy,” down to earth.

...

“Young Master, this is the family’s ancestral hall.”

“The ancestral tablets of past patriarchs and those who made outstanding contributions to the family are enshrined here.”

Even though only the tablets of patriarchs and meritorious individuals were placed here, there were still hundreds of them.

Looking at the ancestral tablets before him, Li Youqian bowed deeply.

“They” were not only Li Youqian’s ancestors but also people who had contributed to Chinese civilization.

For example, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin; Flying General, Li Guang; and famous Qin Dynasty general, Li Xin, and so on.

“Young Master, today’s ceremony will take place here. In a moment, you…”

There was still some time, so Butler Fu explained the details of the upcoming grand ceremony to Li Youqian.

“Okay, I understand.”

Although it was called a grand ceremony, there wasn’t much he needed to do. It was nothing more than kowtowing to his ancestors, offering incense, and then pouring tea for his father and grandfather.

The rest would be left to the professionals.
