Chapter 95 – The Joy of Marriage Alliance

Five Peaks Pavilion and the Ghost Server Legion are forming a marriage alliance!

This news spread like wildfire on the very day Drink Till You Drop proposed, initially as a rumor, but by the next day, it had been officially announced—8:08 PM at the Matchmaker Temple on Immortal Wind Mountain. All friends are welcome to attend the ceremony. Limited red envelopes, first come, first served.

The entire Huaxia Summit server erupted in chaos. Most of the drama-loving crowd, hyped up, rushed to the Matchmaker Temple early to secure a spot. The red envelopes were a minor perk—what really mattered was witnessing a grand wedding in Huaxia Online, a game that didn’t even have a marriage system! And not just any wedding—one riddled with juicy drama, secret same-sex crushes, and tangled relationships. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, a small faction of players from other legions saw the bigger picture. The words of Big H, the former deputy leader and current leader of Meteor Blitz, summed it up: “You think this is just a simple marriage alliance? No! This is the prelude to a series of monopolistic violations! It disrupts the delicate balance of power among Huaxia Summit’s legions and plants a ticking time bomb in the thriving world of Huaxia Online!”

But, as always, those who cared about politics were in the minority.

What everyone really wanted to know was—how the hell did Drink Till You Drop manage to get Drink Your Sister 3X to agree to marry him overnight?

[Legion] 2nd to No1: Hmm, overnight…

[Legion] Milk is Mom: Diamond Bear, wipe that filthy look off your face.

[Legion] 2nd to No1: How can you even see that?!

[Legion] Refined Into a Demon 715: Commander, tell us, how did Drink convince Five Peaks Pavilion to let him marry Your Sister? Didn’t they all know it was her who used his account to repeatedly kill their warehouse alts back then?

[Legion] Milk is Mom: Yep, so I heard from Drink that his teammates were strongly against it at first. But then, someone in their legion dug up Your Sister’s Renren photo album…

[Thoughts: Who the hell said something like “Not everyone’s as weak to beauties as you” yesterday?]

Whatever. Forget about it.

As for the issues between Your Sister and Drink Till You Drop? Simple. One of them waited outside the other’s dorm, then wordlessly helped carry hot water, followed by a cozy meal at the student cafeteria, and then… cough, let’s not pry into the rest.

Right now, with just an hour and a half left until the wedding at the Matchmaker Temple, the two are still out watching a movie and haven’t returned.

Immortal Wind Mountain was a level 20 grinding spot for newbies, located in the northwest of the Huaxia map. Surrounded by towering peaks, the mountain itself was unremarkable, and the Matchmaker Temple was even more hidden—yet it was a place etched into the memory of every Huaxia player.

Aside from grinding, players could level up by completing main quests, especially at lower levels where quests gave more XP. Before level 30, almost every player would finish the main questline, and the level 20 quest was set at the Matchmaker Temple on Immortal Wind Mountain.

The quest was simple: a young couple, opposed by their families, eloped to the mountain. The man was killed by wild beasts, and the grief-stricken woman threw herself into the well in front of the temple. The player’s task was to find the man’s remains, toss them into the well to reunite the ill-fated lovers, then return to the temple to speak with the Matchmaker’s statue for XP and rewards.

The whole process was straightforward, with clear clues leading to the man’s remains. It was so smooth that players could hum along happily—until they tossed the bones into the well and a stunningly beautiful woman in white, half-flesh and half-skull, crawled out to thank them…

Note: The game even thoughtfully provided a close-up cinematic for this moment.

The guinea pigs of those days were now level 65+, but no matter if they’d become nobodies or big shots in the game, revisiting this place always brought back memories of that ghostly maiden’s… charm. Thus, every player stepping into the Matchmaker Temple couldn’t help but mutter, Who the hell picked this godforsaken place?!

Nicknamed White Dragon Horse sneezed countless times today.

Standing at the temple entrance, playing the role of the groom’s family host, he was baffled—why were so many people thinking of him? But he didn’t have time to dwell on it. Between greeting guests, handing out red envelopes, and maintaining order in the YY channel, he was swamped.

[Five Peaks Pavilion Legion YY — Reception Hall]

White Dragon Horse: “All guests who made it inside the temple, please stand on either side and leave the center aisle for the newlyweds’ ceremony. For those who couldn’t squeeze in, apologies, but we’ll be livestreaming the event here. Due to the crowd, we’ll be using mic queue mode. Please understand. If you want to speak, type in the public chat. If you really want to use voice, message me privately, and I’ll consider moving you up the queue~”

Wind Through Wheat Fields: Then I’ll just type in chat… =_=

Sweet Little Sprout: But switching between the game and YY is such a hassle…

Wandering Chen: Five Peaks Pavilion really lives up to its reputation as a major legion. Aside from Huaxia Dominion, practically every big name in the server is here.

Demon Sealing Blade: Are you sure they’re not here to witness the Ghost Server freaks in action?

Wandering Chen: Now that you mention it…

War-God’s Follower: Meteor Blitz isn’t here either.

[Huaxia Online]

[Megaphone] War-Bodhi Patriarch: Calling Meteor Blitz, we’re waiting for you at the Matchmaker Temple, you you you you—

[Megaphone] Big H: Piss off! We’re sworn enemies with Five Peaks Pavilion now!

[Megaphone] War-Bodhi Patriarch: Dude, it was your former legion leader who cuckolded their rookie. And now you’re suddenly sworn enemies…

[Megaphone] Big H: I don’t care! It’s their fault Greatsword transferred servers! Waaah, my Greatsword!!!

[Huaxia] Hu Yifei 12138: Why do these megaphones always contain so much drama lately?

[Five Peaks Pavilion Legion YY — Reception Hall]

White Dragon Horse: “Now, let’s welcome the newlyweds!”

White Dragon Horse: “First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to comrades, third bow to each other—ceremony complete!”

White Dragon Horse: “Great! Next up—what? Send them to the bridal chamber? If we do that, how are we supposed to keep the party going?”

White Dragon Horse: “I’ve now moved the newlyweds to the mic queue. Let them speak their vows!”

After some suspicious rustling, Drink Till You Drop’s voice came through—

“Ahem, hello everyone, I’m Drink Till You Drop. To my wife, even though this is just an in-game wedding, I promise to give you a grand and romantic real-life wedding someday. I love you. Forever.”

This wasn’t the first time Fang Zheng and the others had heard Drink’s voice, but it was by far the most charismatic. Damn, their ears were about to get pregnant >_<

“Uh, hi everyone, Drink Your Sister 3X here…”

If there was a next life, Ning Xiaoke swore she’d never impulsively create an ID like this again. TAT

The wedding atmosphere grew even livelier, and soon Fang Zheng, as the bride’s family representative, was coaxed onto the mic—

“You want me to say a few words? What’s there to say? A perfect match, a union made in heaven—Five Peaks and Ghost Server, a powerhouse alliance! I’ve even thought of a combined name for our legions: Five Ghosts Wreak Havoc in Huaxia! Classy, right…”

Marilyn MengPing: Whitey, I’m begging you, drag him off!

Nicknamed White Dragon Horse: Nah, he’s family now.

Summit of Mount Tai: Drink, you see this? The boys are supporting you with their lives…

On the mic queue, the Ghost Server Commander grew increasingly hyped. “Alright, enough nonsense. You’re used to me spamming song lyrics—today, I’ll give you a live, unplugged performance!”

War-Six Souls: NO!

Suave Not Sleazy: DON’T!

Solitary Desert Blade: HERO, SPARE US!!!!

“Brother stands before a winding river~ Sister sings a sweet song on the other shore~~~~~~~”

Four minutes later—

2B Fighter Jet: Jolin in the house, DT in the house~~~~

Three minutes after that—

Diamond Bear: No matter how bitter the road with you~~~

And then—

Crossplayer’s Blessing: You’re so fine, you’re so sublime, you’re so fine, fine, fine, fiiiiine~~~

438: Gotta love till you die~~~ Can’t stop till it hurts~~~

Mad Lad: When mountains lose their edges~~~ When rivers stop flowing~~~~

Your Uncle: You’re my sister~~~ You’re my baby~~~

Fifth Brother: You must be happier than me~~~ Or my retreat was all in vain~~~

Blood Bulls Don’t Graze: The mortal world’s a joke~~ Love’s but folly~~ Why must night fall so soon~~

Polly: Oh, I’m not here to sing. I’m just explaining that Fifth Brother and Blood Bull’s performances do not represent this server’s stance.

Humanity… could no longer stop the Ghost Server Legion.

The atmosphere was set ablaze by the Ghost Server crew. Soon, the audience didn’t even need White Dragon Horse’s encouragement—they took turns jumping on the mic to sing, whether the songs were relevant to the occasion or not. Most had no backing track, and even those who did sounded absolutely horrifying. Finally, a girl took the mic and sang on-key, her voice soft and pleasant, perfectly in sync with the music. The chaotic YY fell silent, with even the chat slowing to a trickle—mostly just roses being tossed—

“…I said I’d bless you all after we broke up~~ So why does your happy news silence me now~~ My eyes redden, my face darkens, yet I keep talking~~ What do you see when you look at me? Why even ask~~ What’s wrong? Are you okay…”

At first, the silence was because her singing was genuinely beautiful.

Then, the silence was because the lyrics were genuinely unsettling.

The girl’s YY ID was Heartbroken, clearly a deliberate choice. Not everyone might know who she was, but everyone present understood her intent—she was here to crash the wedding! But with the newlyweds still on the mic, no one wanted to be the first to tear off her mask, lest it embarrass Drink and Your Sister even more.

White Dragon Horse was the first to react. Without caring about politeness, he yanked her off the mic.

The singing stopped, but the echoes hung in the air.

Fang Zheng was furious. How dare someone come here and bully them like this? He spammed the chat, demanding Whitey put him on the mic so he could tear into her. Whitey was pissed too, planning to fire off a few shots before letting Milk is Mom take over. But someone beat them both to it—

“Since everyone’s in such high spirits, I’ll sing a song too.”

No one expected Drink Till You Drop to speak up at this moment. While stepping forward to defuse the situation showed remarkable composure and courage, given the bombshell just dropped, the audience was skeptical of his crisis management skills.

“Go ahead,” Whitey said, since Your Sister was still on the mic with him. “What will you sing?” He’d almost said groom, but given the awkwardness, he switched back to legion leader.

“Just listen,” Drink replied calmly. “I’m not great, so don’t laugh.”

The backing track started.

Then, Drink’s deep, heroic voice flowed out with the music—

“Pretty girls who love me, listen up~~ I’ve already got a wife at home~~ Your love hurts her and hurts me too~~ So quit being a homewrecking homewrecker~~“

……

This was what a marriage alliance was about—not just uniting two players, but blending the essence of two legions!!

Later, who even remembered what Heartbroken had sung? The chat was flooded with heartbroken fangirls, their messages boiling down to three key sentiments—

Male god, what happened to you?!

Male god, wake up!!!

Male god, stooooop!!!

At the same time, explosive news broke in the World channel—

[Huaxia] Leveling Maniac: For the Cliff quest, if you jump to your death 30 times, you can skip the horn! Your corpse auto-revives!!

Tonight was destined to be a legendary page in Huaxia Summit’s history—

Five Peaks and Ghost Server’s powerhouse alliance,

Cliffs and grasslands packed with players,

Hordes breaking past level 69,

And the viral hit: “I’ve Already Got a Wife.”
