Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law

Chapter 244 245: Drinking Must Be Done With Bowls!

Liu Mingtao took a sip of tea, his expression filled with concern.

"It would be even better if we could invite your mentor!"

"About how much would that cost? Can you tell me?" Tang Xuewu asked, visibly excited and rubbing her hands together.

"Xuewu," Liu Mingtao said, "talking about money is so crass. We're good friends! Let's enjoy the party first. How about I contact my mentor personally after it's over?"

Sensing the moment was right, Liu Mingtao quickly motioned for Tang Xuewu to sit down.

"Then I'll be counting on you." This time, Tang Xuewu happily sat down.

I'm so excited I could scream! Liu Mingtao thought.

However, Qin Long had already seen through this subtle change.

"If the nano-assisted therapy is so amazing, why hasn't it restored your vigor?" Qin Long asked with a smile, eating a leg of lamb as he looked at Liu Mingtao.

BOOM!

Liu Mingtao's face instantly flushed crimson. He glared at Qin Long, gritting his teeth in fury.

How dare this low-class cripple provoke me again and again? Is he not afraid to die?

"Qin Long, don't push your luck," Liu Mingtao snarled. "If it weren't for Xuewu, I wouldn't give a damn if you lived or died!"

He slammed his hand on the table, his face ferocious.

"Alright, Long, that's enough," Tang Xuewu said, giving him an angry push just as he was about to put Liu Mingtao in his place.

"Oh..." Qin Long shook his head with a wry smile and said no more.

I know exactly what this kid is up to. I won't give him any chance.

"Alright! Everyone, please, help yourselves to my collected red wine and other vintages," Liu Mingtao announced. "I'll make sure there's more than enough for everyone. Afterward, I'll arrange rooms for you all at the Longquan Hotel."

"Alright, I'll lead the toast!" Liu Mingtao scanned the room and drained his glass of red wine.

"Count me in!" Bai He exclaimed. "It's not often we all get together like this!"

He immediately followed suit, fawning over Liu Mingtao. To people like him, even Liu Mingtao's farts would smell sweet.

"Beautiful Xuewu, Mingtao is offering to get his own mentor to help you. Shouldn't you show a little appreciation?" someone teased.

"That's right, Xuewu! You have to drink three glasses in a row!"

The crowd was egging her on. Only Jiang Tiantian was trying to protect her. "Don't you all know Xuewu can't hold her liquor? Why are you trying to force her to drink?"

Seeing Jiang Tiantian's angry expression gave the others an idea.

"Well, in that case, Tiantian will just have to drink for her."

Just as they were about to force the glass on Jiang Tiantian, a large hand snatched it away.

It was Qin Long's.

Tang Xuewu was touched. Even Jiang Tiantian had to admit that Qin Long was being very manly today.

Tang Xuewu knew that with his leg injury, Qin Long shouldn't be drinking much. A wave of happiness washed over her. But he still stepped in to protect me…

"Qin Long, are you going too far?" Bai He's eyes flashed with anger as he stared coldly at Qin Long. "This is a gathering of friends. What right do you have to drink?"

"She's my wife," Qin Long retorted.

His direct comeback made Tang Xuewu's pretty face flush crimson. She lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks burning.

"Fine! You've got guts!" Qin Long's words instantly infuriated Bai He. "Alright then! In that case, let's switch to whiskey. Dare to compete?"

"A real man never says no!" Bai He sneered, taking off his jacket, clearly not about to back down.

"Bai He, Qin Long's health, he can't…" Tang Xuewu immediately tried to refuse.

"Don't worry. They're all your friends," Qin Long said, gently patting her shoulder. "I'll spar a few rounds with them tonight."

"Long, your leg…" Tang Xuewu glared at him, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

"It's fine. My right leg won't be a problem."

Qin Long smiled wryly to himself. My alcohol tolerance is actually incredible. In the army, I could down a whole flask in one go. Besides, with my Taiyi Golden Needle, even the God of Wine himself would have to bow before me.

"Excellent!" Liu Mingtao sneered, his hostility toward Qin Long obvious. "Qin Long, if you can outdrink me today, I'll cover the full cost of the nano-assisted therapy for your right leg. I'll even personally ask my mentor to perform the treatment."

Bai He and a few others quickly brought over four bottles of whiskey.

"Qin Long, you better not back out later. That would be pathetic!" Bai He said, grabbing a tall glass and preparing to fill it. Their plan was to get him wasted and humiliate him properly.

"That glass is too small," Qin Long said. "Get a bowl."

He popped the cap off the whiskey bottle with a flick of his wrist. It landed on the floor with a crisp clink.

Bai He's expression changed. "What?"

A petite girl beside him whispered, "Bai He, this kid wants to drink from a bowl..."

"What the hell?" Bai He cursed under his breath, completely bewildered. Has this kid lost his mind?

"What's wrong, Bai He? If you can't handle it, just admit defeat!" Qin Long taunted, pausing his pour.

"Damn it! I don't scare easily! Keep pouring!"

How could I back down, especially in front of all these girls? That would be the ultimate humiliation!

"I don't drink whiskey often—I usually prefer my collected Maotai," Bai He boasted, "but today, I'd like to test your mettle, Qin Long."

He shot Liu Mingtao an "OK" sign. Everyone understood the unspoken agreement. A small collection of Maotai was nothing to them.

"I'll drink a bowl first to see what it's like," Qin Long said. He immediately grabbed a large bowl and began to chug.

GLUG! GLUG! GLUG!

Before anyone could react, he had finished the entire bowl of whiskey.

BURP!

He turned the bowl upside down, showing it was completely empty. It was as if he'd just been drinking soda.

Bai He and his friends were stunned. Had he really just downed an entire bottle's worth of whiskey in seconds?

Even for them, guys who were used to drinking while chasing women, it was a shocking sight. Qin Long's move left them completely baffled.

"Holy shit! He's a badass!"

The few men next to Bai He, who prided themselves on being master drinkers, gulped hard, their eyes wide. They knew drinking that much whiskey would be pure agony. They could only handle about two bottles each at most; they were starting to get scared.

"Let's drink!" Bai He forced himself and started chugging, his Adam's apple bobbing. The alcohol had a powerful kick, and he instantly felt like he was hitting his limit. Liu Mingtao also felt light-headed and dizzy after finishing his drink.

"It's really strong!" Bai He exclaimed, grabbing a large piece of beef to line his stomach.

But Qin Long gave them no chance, picking up another bowl.

"There's plenty of meat, so take your time. Allow me to go first."

With that, he tilted his head back and chugged it all down.

GLUG! GLUG! GLUG!

Once again, he flipped the empty bowl over. Not a drop remained.

Tang Xuewu and Jiang Tiantian stared with wide, beautiful eyes, while the others cried out in astonishment.

A cripple on crutches could drink like that? He was a bottomless pit!

GLUG! GLUG! GLUG!

Qin Long picked up yet another large bowl and finished it in an instant.
