123: Even the ancestor is getting married? The entire clan is dumbfounded!

“Bang!”

The gates of the Divine Island’s bedchamber were kicked open.

Su Xuanchen strode inside, carrying the struggling Phoenix Princess in his arms. With a back-heel, the doors slammed shut with a loud “Clang!”

“Let me go! Su Xuanchen! You bastard!”

In his arms, the Phoenix Princess was like a wild cat with its fur standing on end, opening her mouth to bite Su Xuanchen’s shoulder.

“Still making a fuss?”

Su Xuanchen sneered and directly threw her onto the large cloud bed.

The soft cloud silk sank deep under her weight.

Just as the Phoenix Princess tried to scramble up, a large hand pinned her shoulder down.

“Buzz!”

A golden light flashed from Su Xuanchen’s fingertips.

Several Restrictions were struck into the Phoenix Princess’s body, locking her Qi Sea and suppressing her Divine Soul.

This high-and-mighty Quasi-Emperor level Imperial Daughter was transformed into a weak Mortal girl.

“You... you sealed my cultivation?!”

The Phoenix Princess’s eyes widened in terror. She shrank into the corner of the bed, her hands clutching her chest.

“What are you going to do?!”

“What am I going to do?”

Su Xuanchen unhurriedly unfastened his outer robe and tossed it aside. His aggressive eyes scanned her body without restraint.

“Didn’t I say it in the Great Hall just now?”

“The wedding night.”

“And...”

He turned his head toward the True Phoenix Clan Twin Goddesses standing at the door, who were already shivering and dared not enter.

“What are you standing there for?”

“Come in and turn off the lights.”

The Twin Goddesses trembled. How could they dare to disobey?

Lowering their heads and blushing, they obediently walked into the room and lowered the layers of gauze curtains.

“No! I won't marry! I'd rather die than—”

The Phoenix Princess was about to scream again.

“Slap!”

A crisp sound rang out.

Su Xuanchen slapped her right there.

The force wasn't heavy, but it was extremely humiliating.

“Ah!”

The Phoenix Princess cried out in surprise, freezing in place.

From childhood to now, even her father had never hit her. This man actually... hit...?!

“From now on, in this room, there is no Imperial Daughter.”

Su Xuanchen leaned in, pinching her exquisite chin, his voice domineering.

“There is only an obedient bed-warming maid.”

“If you’re not obedient, you’ll be punished...”

“Do you understand?”

The Phoenix Princess’s eyes were bloodshot, and tears welled up—it was both humiliation and helplessness.

She bit her lip and stared intensely at Su Xuanchen, refusing to yield.

“You’re quite stubborn.”

Su Xuanchen smiled.

“I like stubborn ones.”

“Tonight, I have plenty of time to slowly smooth out your rough edges.”

The gauze curtains fell.

That night.

The pride of the True Phoenix Imperial Daughter was worn away bit by bit.

Though they did not take the final step, the feeling of being toyed with made the Phoenix Princess cry until her pillow was soaked.

As for the Twin Goddesses, they had already obediently submitted under Su Xuanchen’s methods, softening into a pool of spring water... Three days later.

In the Divine Island garden, a hundred flowers were in full bloom.

Su Xuanchen sat refreshed in a stone pavilion, sipping Dao-Enlightenment Tea.

Behind him, the Phoenix Princess had changed into a maid’s dress. With red eyes, she was reluctantly massaging his shoulders.

Despite her face full of resentment, the moment Su Xuanchen frowned, she would shiver in fear, and the strength of her hands would immediately become gentle.

It seemed the three days of 'training' were quite effective.

“Oh, isn’t this our True Phoenix Imperial Daughter?”

A teasing voice drifted over.

The Dragon Girl Ao Luan, wearing golden dragon-scale armor, walked over with a heroic air.

She looked at the Phoenix Princess serving him, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

“Tsk tsk tsk, where did the arrogant Phoenix Princess go?”

“How did she become a little shoulder-massaging maid?”

“You...”

The Phoenix Princess gritted her teeth in anger, about to snap.

“Hmm?”

Su Xuanchen gave a light snort.

The Phoenix Princess froze, and the curses at the tip of her tongue were forced back down. She could only lower her head aggrievedly and continue the massage.

“Alright, don’t bully the newcomer.”

Su Xuanchen reached out and pulled the Dragon Girl into his embrace, flicking her smooth forehead.

“I haven’t seen you in three days. Did you miss me?”

“Who missed you!”

The Dragon Girl’s face flushed as she turned her head away proudly, yet her body honestly leaned into his chest.

“Hmph, new love makes you forget the old.”

“Disappearing for three days without showing your face—I thought you’d died in your gentle village of pleasures.”

“How could I?”

Su Xuanchen laughed heartily.

“Wasn’t I working hard to expand the Family’s bloodline?”

Just then.

Tu Shan Qingqiu approached gracefully, leading Nine Moon and a group of fox maidens.

“Husband.”

Tu Shan Qingqiu glanced at the Phoenix Princess with sympathy, but more so with the composure of the 'Main Wife.'

“The sisters from the True Phoenix Clan have just arrived, so they must learn the rules slowly.”

“If Husband doesn't mind, let me guide them from now on.”

“That’s fine too.”

Su Xuanchen nodded.

Letting this ten-thousand-year-old fox train that arrogant little Phoenix was truly a case of 'one thing being conquered by another.'

While the group was chatting.

“BOOM—!!”

A terrifying aura, vast as the ocean, suddenly erupted from the secluded cultivation grounds deep within the Divine Island.

The heavens and earth changed color, and the clouds rolled back.

A brilliant blue pillar of divine light shot into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds of the entire Linggu Divine Domain.

“This is...”

Su Xuanchen’s eyes lit up as he stood up.

“Luo Li is coming out of seclusion!”

The divine light dissipated.

An incomparably beautiful figure arrived through the air.

Luo Li.

At this moment, her temperament had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

Her original immaturity had faded, replaced by the majesty of an Empress ruling the world.

Dressed in a blue-gold Imperial Robe and wearing a crown, she was surrounded by the terrifying Laws of the third heaven of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

The Luoshen Sacred Body had reached Major Achievement!

Ascending to the heavens in a single step!

“Husband!”

But the moment she saw Su Xuanchen, all her majesty vanished into thin air.

Like a little girl who had received candy, she lunged directly into Su Xuanchen’s arms.

“Luo Li missed you so much!”

Su Xuanchen spun her around twice. Sensing the powerful aura of the girl in his arms, he nodded with satisfaction.

“Not bad, third heaven of the Quasi-Emperor realm.”

“It seems that dao confluence flower wasn’t eaten in vain.”

“Hmph.”

A cold snort rang out abruptly.

The surrounding temperature plummeted.

A full moon manifested in mid-air, and Chang Xiyue’s figure, dressed in snow-white robes, appeared nearby at some unknown point.

She looked at the two of them cuddling together, her eyes filled with obvious jealousy.

“Hugging and clinging to each other in broad daylight—where is the decorum?”

Though she said this, her gaze remained fixed on Su Xuanchen, carrying a hint of resentment.

Su Xuanchen grinned, released Luo Li, and walked over to grab Chang Xiyue by the waist.

“What? Does the Imperial Consort want a hug too?”

“Come, let the favor be shared equally.”

“You... let go!”

Chang Xiyue’s face turned red. She struggled symbolically a couple of times before letting him hold her.

The Phoenix Princess was stunned by the side.

This... this is also Su Xuanchen’s woman?

That aura... it’s actually an Ancient Emperor?!

Just how many monstrous collections does this man have?!

...The night deepened.

In the Luoshen Clan Forbidden Ground, the moonlight was like water.

Su Xuanchen came alone to the ten-thousand-foot-tall statue of Luo Shen.

The Taiyin Jade Pendant in his hand was emitting a warm glow.

“Old Ancestor, it’s time to wake up.”

Su Xuanchen struck a strand of pure taiyin origin into the jade pendant.

“Buzz!”

The jade pendant vibrated.

An incomparably elegant phantom slowly condensed into form.

Luo Shen!

After this period of nourishment, combined with Su Xuanchen’s reckless investment of resources, her remnant soul had completely stabilized and even reshaped a portion of her True Spirit.

At this moment, she was no longer a phantom image, but had a certain texture of flesh and blood.

Beautiful.

That kind of beauty transcended time and transcended race.

Even Su Xuanchen, who was used to peerless beauties, couldn’t help but have his breath hitch.

“Little fellow.”

Luo Shen slowly opened her eyes. There was a hint of complexity and a hint of gratitude in them.

“Thank you.”

“If not for you, I would have already dissipated from this world.”

“We’re Family, no need for formalities.”

Su Xuanchen waved his hand, his eyes burning as he looked at her.

“Old Ancestor, now that your True Spirit is restored and your cultivation has returned to the Supreme Realm,”

“Shouldn’t that matter be put on the agenda?”

Luo Shen was stunned.

“What matter?”

Su Xuanchen took a step forward and suddenly knelt on one knee, pulling out a ring he had prepared long ago.

It was a diamond ring symbolizing a vow (though this world didn't have such a custom, he had specially crafted it).

“Marry me.”

Three words.

Simple, direct, and deafening.

Luo Shen was completely dazed.

She had lived through endless ages and seen countless storms, but she had never seen such an... absurd scene.

This junior who saved her, this man who had married her descendant...

Was actually... proposing to her?!

“You... do you know what you’re saying?”

Luo Shen’s voice trembled slightly, and two red clouds rose on her peerless face.

“I am Luo Li’s ancestor!”

“You are Luo Li’s husband!”

“This... this ruins the seniority!”

“Seniority?”

Su Xuanchen stood up, looking entirely indifferent.

“In the cultivation world, the capable are teachers, and the strong are respected.”

“As long as there is mutual love, are age and seniority really issues?”

“Besides.”

He leaned in closer, looking into Luo Shen’s flustered eyes, and grinned mischievously:

“I told you when I saved you.”

“I am a greedy man.”

“I want Luo Li, and I want you too.”

“Buy one get one free—this is the ‘grand gift’ you promised me yourself.”

“You... rogue!”

Luo Shen glared at him in shame and annoyance, but her heart didn't feel much repulsion.

During this time, while she was sleeping in the jade pendant, she could perceive everything in the outside world.

This man, to save her, did not hesitate to consume taiyin origin.

For the Luoshen Clan, he had covered the sky with one hand and suppressed Emperors.

That kind of dominance and tenderness had long ago cast a stone into the lake of her heart, which had been stagnant for billions of years.

“Old Ancestor.”

Su Xuanchen struck while the iron was hot, grabbing her hand.

“You’ve slept for so long, don’t you want to try a new way of living?”

“Being a pampered little woman is better than being a cold, high-and-mighty statue, isn't it?”

Luo Shen’s heart trembled.

Being pampered... this word was too foreign to her, yet too enticing.

She looked at Su Xuanchen’s sincere (greedy) eyes and, as if possessed, she... nodded.

“You’re my bane...”

She sighed, allowing Su Xuanchen to slide the ring onto her finger.

“If Luo Li finds out...”

“She will laugh her Old Ancestor to death.”

“Don’t worry.”

Su Xuanchen pulled her into his arms with grand ambition.

“I’ll be the one to tell Luo Li.”

“Our Family should be together, whole and complete!”

...Three days later.

A piece of news caused a massive uproar throughout the Three Thousand Heavenly Realms.

Su Xuanchen, the Head of the Su Family, would hold a grand wedding at the Luoshen Clan!

Not only was he marrying the True Phoenix Imperial Daughter, the Heavenly Fox Supreme, and the Sea God Palace twins... but also a 'mysterious bride'!

Once the news broke, the world was shocked.

Countless forces swarmed in, wanting to catch a glimpse of this unprecedented wedding.

The day of the wedding.

The Luoshen Clan was decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with auspicious energy.

Guests gathered, and powerful experts were as numerous as trees in a forest.

“Congratulations, Head of the Su Family!”

“Best wishes to the Head of the Su Family!”

Su Xuanchen, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, stood proudly at the entrance of the Great Hall to welcome guests.

Luo Tianheng, leading the high-ranking members of the Luoshen Clan, was also full of joy, busy with preparations.

“The auspicious hour has arrived! Please invite the brides to enter!”

Following the master of ceremonies’ loud shout,

Flower petals drifted through the sky.

Several brides, wearing Phoenix Coronets and Cloud Scarves, walked over gracefully, supported by maidservants.

Luo Li walked at the very front, her face full of happiness.

The Phoenix Princess followed behind; though her expression was awkward, she had accepted her fate.

However,

When the final bride appeared,

The entire venue fell into dead silence.

The wine cup in Luo Tianheng’s hand fell to the ground with a “clatter,” shattering into pieces.

His eyes widened as he looked at the bride walking last—her temperament was noble and peerless, and her appearance was exactly the same as the statue. His eyes almost popped out of his head.

“Old... Old Ancestor?!”

Luo Tianheng screamed, his voice cracking.

“You... why are you wearing a wedding dress?!”

Luo Shen’s face flushed red as she gave her descendant an embarrassed look.

“Ahem.”

She coughed twice, trying her best to maintain her dignity as the ancestor.

“Well... Tianheng.”

“Don’t call me Old Ancestor from now on.”

She pointed to Su Xuanchen beside her and spoke shocking words:

“Call me Mistress.”

“Pfft—!”

Luo Tianheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted directly.

All the guests were completely dumbfounded.

Insane!

The world has gone insane!

This fellow Su Xuanchen... actually married their Old Ancestor too?!

Is this the legendary... taking the whole pot?!

Su Xuanchen watched this scene, the corners of his mouth curling up in pride as he laughed wildly in his heart.

Are you shocked already?

Wait until I marry that Empress of the Underworld in the future... won’t you all be scared to death?
