Chapter 846: A Difficult Wedding Process

After shouting, Ren Baqian heard Lin Qiaole uttering an “Ah,” then another “Ah” before the sound of bodies colliding together rang out. Following this, no sounds or movements were heard.

Ren Baqian was surprised to find that even the White Rabbit Creamy Candies weren’t efficacious anymore.

“Anyone interested in liquor chocolate?” (TLC. Not sure if this is supposed to be liquid chocolate like hot chocolate or chocolate liqueur as in chocolate flavored alcohol.)

There was no sound.

Ren Baqian finally realized that his normal tricks weren’t going to work today.

“What do you want?” Ren Baqian shouted through the door.

For a normal wedding, they would be seeking red packets, but that wasn’t the case here.

“Perform something interesting!”

This voice was a little mature and sounded like Jiang Nan’s.

It looked like Jiang Nan was inside.

“Perform what? Use my chest to break a rock?” Ren Baqian rolled his eyes. He could do this with some effort. As a matter of fact, he could even perform by using an electric drill to drill his private part, but who would dare to watch.

“I want to see you drink 1,000 cups of the ‘water of life’ and not get drunk.”

Ren Baqian was stunned. Drinking “1,000 cups of the water of life and not getting drunk?” Which bastard suggested this? Not getting drunk after drinking 1,000 cups of 96 ABV vodka? Was it possible to survive after drinking this?

Someone was deliberately disguising her voice. It was either Qing Yuan or Hong Luan and was most likely Qing Yuan.

Ren Baqian retreated a few steps and signaled to the winged cavalry warriors behind him, then said, “Break down the door.”

The photographers were stunned. Break down the door? Breaking the door during a wedding? Did they hear wrongly?

After thinking carefully about it, they still felt that they were mistaken.

Whatever the situation, breaking down the door shouldn’t be done during a wedding. They at least hadn’t seen this done before.

10 winged cavalry soldiers gathered noisily in the corridor, “Gan, lao, hei!”

Actually, they were playing “Rock, paper, scissors,” but they were used to calling it “Gan, lao, hei.”

“Gan, lao, hei!”

“Gan, lao, hei!”

“Gan…”

Ren Baqian’s face twitched a few times as he wondered how long it would take for them to finish the game.

At that moment, a miracle happened.

With a loud laugh, one winged cavalry warrior was pushed out from the group.

“Go!” Ren Baqian pointed at the new security door.

Since he was kicked out, the winged cavalry warrior accepted the loss willingly and asked proudly, “Tear it from the inside or outside?”

“From the outside!”

“Very well! Watch me!” He balled up his fists, which made a sound similar to beans being fried, and then punched the door on both sides.

Ren Baqian felt the whole building shake.

“Aiya!” It sounded like Jiang Nan had cried out.

Cracks could be seen on both sides of the wall. The parts that had been punched were broken through, revealing the human figures inside.

The photographers in the back were stunned.

Although many people were practicing the [Fifteenth Set of Initial Stage Cultivation] and had grown much stronger, breaking through the door with one punch was… This not only needed great strength, but what about his hand?

However, something unexpected happened.

The door flew open and a lady came forward to press down on the bald head of that winged cavalry warrior.

Boom!

The whole building shook again.

The tiles of the corridor cracked as half of the warrior’s bald head was pushed into the floor.

The door was slammed shut again with a loud bang.

The group of people outside were left floundering.

“Do we need to call for an ambulance?” The photographers were trembling because they had never seen such a wedding scene before. Why was there so much vengeance involved?

“Wow.”

The guy on the ground pulled his head out with both hands and shook his head until the blood from his nose dripped all over the floor.

Thoughts raced through Ren Baqian’s mind. The person who came out just now was Xin Zhe, and based on her character, she wouldn’t normally do such a thing in this situation. Obviously, it must be the empress’s idea.

Ren Baqian looked at the two holes in the door and discovered that he could put his hand through one of them to open the door from inside.

He assumed that they wouldn’t hit him.

Ren Baqian smirked as he put his hand through the hole to open the door.

Someone hit him on the back of the hand.

There was a loud slapping sound because that someone had hit him very hard.

“It’s swollen.” Ren Baqian stood there looking rueful.

“It’s swollen,” Xin Zhe said from inside.

“Aiya! It’s really swollen!” This was the voice of Qing Yuan.

Ren Baqian quietly pulled back his hand, which was swollen like a hoof.

From the familiar formula and the familiar smell, it was obviously the empress who had done this.

“Elder brother!” Ren Wannian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He squeezed past Ren Baqian as he entered with a pile of red packets.

From inside, a low voice was heard asking, “Shall we open the door?”

It was the voice of Jiang Nan. She wasn’t sure of the situation and didn’t want to go overboard.

“No!”

This time, it was the voice of the empress, and she didn’t attempt to disguise it at all.

It looked like using force wasn’t going to work. The red packets were also useless, and he had to outwit them.

“Tell me, what do you want? Give a reasonable demand. Don’t talk about the ‘water of life.’ Even if I dared to drink, would you dare to let me drink it?” Ren Baqian asked.

“I dare!”

“Forget about the water of life. It isn’t easy to get married, and everyone suffers as well. Be more realistic.”

“This is the second time.”

“Cough! That was us and no one else. Furthermore, it was the first wedding. Can we have a nice chat?”

Ren Baqian coughed and looked at Ren Wannian, Chen Qing, and the photographers who were looking embarrassed. Was the filming of today’s wedding suitable for others to see?

The wedding planner was beginning to wonder whether these people were here to mess up the wedding.

Ren Baqian glared at Chen Qing. This idea of torturing people must have come from Jiang Nan, and the empress had been influenced by her.

Otherwise, the empress wouldn’t know of such nonsensical stuff.

“How about I recite a good poem?” Ren Baqian was thinking of one with low difficulty for this occasion, such as “The moonlight shines in front of the bed, two pairs of shoes on the floor.”

“How about matching our lines? If everyone is satisfied with your answers, we will open the door.” Jiang Nan’s voice was heard.

Ren Baqian glared at Chen Qing again. Jian Nan was already in her mid-thirties, yet she was still so frivolous.

“Fine!”

Ren Baqian focused and waited to see what wicked ideas these females had in store for him.

“Shall we start?” Jiang Nan shouted from inside.

“Let’s start.”

…

“You have come.”

What did these three words mean?

Next, he answered, “I am here.”

“You shouldn’t be here!”

This was nonsense. If he wasn’t supposed to be here, where should he be?

However, he was confident. This looked like the style of Gu Long[1.Gu Long: Taiwanese wuxia novelist] and was easy to rebut.

“But I came.”

“Since you are here, you have to leave the thing behind!”

Ren Baqian turned to look at Chen Qing as if to ask him, “What thing?”

He casually answered, “I can leave the thing behind, but I must bring the person along!”

Chen Qing waved his hand to signal that he didn’t know.

Ren Baqian’s gaze said, “That’s your wife!”

“Bring the thing over first!” Jiang Nan said.

Ren Baqian thought for a while and threw a bunch of White Rabbit Creamy Candies inside.

“Wrong!”

Ren Baqian took a pile of red packets from Ren Wannian and threw them inside.

“Still wrong!”

Ren Baqian was getting frantic. Only heaven would know what they wanted.

“Leave behind the Six Flavors Foxglove Pill!”

Ren Baqian almost vomited blood. Where was he supposed to get the Six Flavors Foxglove Pill!? Who would bring a Six Flavors Foxglove Pill?! When preparing for a wedding?

Jiang Nan laughed and said, “Next! We’ll consider him to have passed!”

This time, it was a disguised voice, “Ying ying, yan yan, cui cui, hong hong, chu chu, rong rong, qia qia. 1 Your Highness, you can pass if you can answer this!”

This sounded familiar to Ren Baqian.

He turned to look at the few people behind him and noted their blank expressions.

Ren Baqian hit his forehead to remind himself not to panic. He was a famous village teacher and should not be stumped by this.

He answered, “Hua hua, ye ye, kai kai, luo luo, nian nian, zhao zhao, mu mu.[2.Hua hua, ye ye, kai kai, luo luo, nian nian, zhao zhao, mu mu: The flowers and leaves bloom and fall year after year, day after day.]

Qing Yuan stuck out her tongue and said happily, “You pass!”

Even though she didn’t know any poems or couplets, she was happy to know that although Ren Baqian’s answer was slightly different, it still meant the same thing.

Ren Baqian heaved a sigh of relief because he had passed another round.

The people behind him gave him the thumbs-up. He looked strong and fierce, giving them the impression that he was a bad guy. However, his knowledge exceeded their expectations.
