241: Xiao Fan's Wedding
Qin Mengyao took the jade bottle. Feeling the heart-palpitating pure power within it, her eyes turned slightly red.
"Husband... you have sacrificed too much for this child."
She snuggled into Lu Yuan's embrace, her eyes filled with obsession and adoration: "Mengyao can never repay you in this life, only..."
...Two months later.
Time passed like a white horse crossing a gap, gone in an instant.
On this day, in the Central Region Qin Family, within a secret chamber shrouded by layers of Formations.
An astonishing surge of aura suddenly erupted, like a hidden dragon emerging from an abyss, shooting straight into the clouds.
"Hahaha! It's done! I've finally succeeded!"
Xiao Fan snapped his eyes open, golden light bursting forth from his gaze.
Deep within his Dantian, a smooth and flawless Golden Core radiating a faint golden glow was slowly rotating, releasing an aura of immortality.
An Immortal Golden Core could be called a true foundation of the Great Dao; having forged such a Golden Core, his future path would be smooth sailing.
Xiao Fan stood up, feeling the spiritual energy surging through his body, feeling full of heroic ambition.
"Two months! I, Xiao Fan, am finally no longer that Foundation Establishment ant who can be bullied by anyone!"
He clenched his fists tightly: "Lu Yuan! You stole my Opportunity and snatched my mother; this hatred is irreconcilable! Tomorrow is the day of my grand wedding with Ji Yaoguang. As long as I become the Ji Family's son-in-law and have the Ji Family as my backer, I'll see how you can still be so arrogant!"
Thinking of that Ji Family Second Young Miss who possessed peerless beauty and an Innate Dao Body, a strong desire for conquest and anticipation welled up in Xiao Fan's heart.
"Ji Yaoguang... you are mine! No one can take you away!"
...Meanwhile, at the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was somewhat flirtatious.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura deep as the sea. Although he hadn't intentionally cultivated during these two months, under the nourishment of various divine medicines, his cultivation had already approached the Mahayana Peak, just one step away.
Beside him, a beautiful young girl dressed in a purple gauze dress was snuggling against him; it was none other than Ji Yaoguang.
However, at this moment, Ji Yaoguang's face carried a few hints of lingering worry.
"Big Brother Lu... tomorrow is the wedding day."
Ji Yaoguang looked up, her watery big eyes full of concern: "I haven't been able to contact the clan these past few days. Father and the others must think something has happened to me.
If I still don't show up tomorrow, the Ji Family will surely use their hidden foundations to find me.
And... that Xiao Fan, if he doesn't see me, he definitely won't let the matter rest."
Lu Yuan reached out and gently smoothed her furrowed brows, saying warmly: "Rest assured, with me here, no one can force you to do anything you don't want to do.
Tomorrow, I will go to the Ji Family with you. This marriage, I will be the one to cancel it."
"Really?" A flash of surprise crossed Ji Yaoguang's eyes, but then she became worried again: "But... the Ji Family is a Longevity Family after all, with a Void Immortal Ancestor presiding. If things get ugly..."
"So what if they are a Void Immortal?" Lu Yuan smiled faintly, his tone carrying an overbearing arrogance that looked down on the world: "If I want to take you away, there is no one in this world who can stop me."
Looking at the domineering man before her, Ji Yaoguang felt her heart skip a beat. That deep sense of security made her fall completely.
"Big Brother Lu..."
Her face was flushed, and her eyes looked as if they could drip water.
Today, she had specifically changed into an exotic purple thin gauze dress. Her snow-white skin was faintly visible, and her long jade-like legs crossed under the dress, adding a bit more temptation.
"Big Brother Lu, Yaoguang wants to... discuss that Great Dao of Yin and Yang with you again."
She took the initiative to untie the silk belt at her waist, wrapping herself around Lu Yuan's body like a nine-tailed fox... After a bout of clouds and rain, it was already late at night.
Lu Yuan leaned against the headboard feeling refreshed, while Ji Yaoguang was already exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep.
11 PM - 1 AM arrived.
[Ding, Daily Intelligence has been refreshed.]
Three new pieces of intelligence appeared.
[Blue Intelligence: Today is the wedding day of Ji Yaoguang and Xiao Fan.
Because Ji Yaoguang has been missing for many days, the Ji Family Head, Ji Kongnie, has persuaded the clan Elders and decided to use the Ji Family's clan-protecting Transcendent Spiritual Treasure, the void mirror, before the ceremony begins today to reflect the Three Thousand Dao Domains and search for Ji Yaoguang's whereabouts.
Under the supreme Divine Might of the void mirror, as long as she is within the Three Thousand Dao Domains, Ji Yaoguang will have nowhere to hide and will be forcibly pulled back to the Ji Family directly by the void mirror.]
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
void mirror? Forcibly pulled back?
The Ji Family certainly has some tricks. If they really succeed, this wedding might actually happen.
Lu Yuan's gaze turned to the remaining two pieces of intelligence.
[Blue Intelligence: The Void Divine Island where the Ji Family is located is an independent grotto-heaven attached to the main space. Its peripheral Void Formation is said to be impregnable.
However, at the southwest corner of the Divine Island, there is a spatial node where an extremely tiny flaw has appeared due to the erosion of time.
The Host can rely on the power of the Great Dao of Space to slip in silently from here without being noticed by anyone.]
[Blue Intelligence: The Ji Family currently has three Great Ascension Stage Cultivators presiding. The Family Head Ji Kongnie is at the Late Stage Mahayana, and there are two other Grand Elders at the Mahayana Middle Stage.
As for that Middle Stage Void Immortal Realm Old Ancestor, Ji Wentian, he is currently at a critical moment of secluded meditation. Unless the Family faces the disaster of total destruction, he will definitely not easily come out of seclusion.

After reading the intelligence, the smile on the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth grew thicker.
Even the back door of the Void Divine Island and the weaknesses of the Ji Family's higher-ups have been figured out; this System is truly considerate.
"In that case, I'll be an uninvited guest."
Lu Yuan stood up and looked at the cold bright moon outside the window, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
The next morning, as the morning sun rose, golden sunlight flooded the Qin Family estate.
Xiao Fan stood before a bronze mirror, straightening out that extremely luxurious wedding attire on his body.
It was a bright red wedding robe woven from Scarlet Flame Cloud Brocade, embroidered with Dragon and Phoenix patterns in gold thread, with a white jade belt at the waist and Cloud-Ascending Boots on his feet.
His long hair was tied high by a Purple-Gold Crown, making his whole person look heroic and high-spirited.
"After today, I will be the Ji Family's son-in-law."
Xiao Fan looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation that were hard to hide.
Although it was a matrilocal marriage, for the current him, it was not a disgrace but rather a turning point for a comeback.
The Ji Family was a top Longevity Family in the Central Region with deep foundations. With this connection, he would have the capital to contend with Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan, you stole everything from me. Today, you won't be able to steal this Ji Yaoguang, will you?"
Thinking of the Ji Family's Second Young Miss who possessed an Innate Dao Body and peerless beauty, a heat surged in Xiao Fan's heart.
As long as he obtained her, he would not only gain the assistance of the Innate Dao Body but also make those who looked down on him shut their mouths completely.
"Young Master, the Ji Family's wedding procession has arrived!"
The report of a Qin Family servant came from outside the door.
Xiao Fan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
The Qin Family estate, inside and out, was already decorated with lanterns and streamers, with red carpets covering the ground, presenting a festive and peaceful scene.
