67: Chapter 67 She's just a child

Inside a residence in the Azure Dragon Palace.

Yuan Da paced back and forth, sighing repeatedly.

Fu Xue was still off to the side, sobbing softly.

"This is too much."

Since marrying into the Azure Dragon Palace, she had never suffered such grievances.

With the two masters like this,

the other servants were naturally also filled with gloom and despair.

"Stop crying!"

Yuan Da said irritably.

His son had been captured, and his wife had been beaten.

Now, no one was more depressed than he was.

But what could he do about it?

He had just gone to see the Grand Elder, hoping for justice.

He hadn't expected the other party to tell him to wait patiently for Yuan Man to return.

Upon asking, he learned that when Yuan Man had left, he had actually sent a voice transmission to every Elder.

After he left, everyone had to ensure Yuan Chen's safety.

At this point, Yuan Da also sensed that something was wrong.

Why had his father's attitude toward Yuan Chen changed so drastically in just one day?

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to act rashly regarding rescuing his son.

However, despite that, he still couldn't forget the grievances he had suffered today.

The couple could only stay at home and sulk.

While things were full of sighs and gloom over there, Yuan Chen's side was filled with laughter and joy.

Yuan Chen had finally begun his marriage ceremonies.

Luo Xinyi and the others had already held theirs.

So, the first day was held with Lu Mingming.

Yuan Chen had ordered the little cattle of Qingye City to act as guests.

Yuan Chen was now the master here.

The cattle did not dare to refuse.

However, up until now, the high-ranking members of the Green Cattle Yao Race had not come to see Yuan Chen.

They had always been sycophants of Yuan Da.

It was likely to avoid suspicion.

Yuan Chen didn't have time to pay attention to them.

As long as they didn't delay his business, it was fine.

However, what Yuan Chen hadn't expected was:

When he married Lu Mingming on the first day, some Elders of the Dragon Clan even sent congratulatory gifts.

It was understandable that the Ninth Elder, who was on good terms with Yuan Ji, sent one.

But even the Grand Elder and Second Elder had sent people over.

Yuan Chen guessed that Yuan Man must have told them something before he left.

But he definitely hadn't revealed the matter of the Top-tier Divine Beast.

Otherwise, these Elders would certainly have come in person.

Yuan Chen did not refuse the gifts.

He pocketed them all.

These guys were quite generous.

The Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine alone were enough for Lu Mingming to eat for a month.

But, well~

He was going to marry over a dozen wives in a row.

You gave a gift once; would you have the nerve not to give one afterward?

While thinking this, he walked over to Luo Li to discuss it with her.

"Mother, I think it would be better for Xin Yi and the others to hold the ceremony again."

"After all, it wasn't to our residence at the time, so it wasn't formal enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xinyi and the others' eyes lit up, and they nodded in agreement.

Seeing their expressions, Luo Li couldn't refuse and, after some thought, agreed.

Yuan Chen nodded with a smile, then turned to his wives.

"From now on, all the congratulatory gifts you receive every day will belong to you."

Hua Tong and the others immediately jumped for joy.

When they had just seen the congratulatory gifts received earlier, they were practically drooling.

Now, they were actually all being left to them.

"Husband, you are so good!"

Yuan Chen nodded with satisfaction.

How could he not be good?

In any case, he was fleecing these guys from the Azure Dragon Palace.

Over the next ten-plus days,

Yuan Chen kept marrying wives.

It completely bewildered the Elders of the Azure Dragon Palace.

When they heard about another marriage on the second day, they thought it wouldn't be appropriate to give a gift on the first day but not the second.

By the third day... he had already married two.

This must be the last one.

Might as well give it!

If others gave and he didn't,

wouldn't his previous two attempts to build goodwill have been for nothing?

Then the fourth day, the fifth day...

In any case, they had already been giving for ten days.

This must be the last one... right!

Then they tearfully presented over a dozen congratulatory gifts.

When they presented gifts the first time, to show their friendly attitude,

they gave a truly large amount.

Although the subsequent ones were a bit smaller in quantity,

adding up over a dozen portions still made their hearts ache!

...

Yuan Chen walked into a storage room in the front courtyard.

He walked up and opened his wardrobe.

Because he needed to handle things in his own room for the wedding,

having a person lying in a coffin nearby was a bit unsettling.

So, he had people move it to the front courtyard and just put it somewhere.

Now, over ten days had passed.

He wanted to see if there were any results.

Behind Yuan Chen, Yuan Ji also curiously followed.

The father and son pried open the wardrobe.

Then, Yuan Ji used his magic power to levitate Yuan An out of the wardrobe and place him on the ground.

Both of them leaned in.

Yuan Chen held a small axe in his hand.

He tapped on various parts of Yuan An.

With every tap, the axe emitted a crisp sound.

A series of numbers would also appear on the handle at the end of the axe.

This was a Spiritual Artifact specifically used for testing the strength of weapons.

It would display the weapon's own toughness, rebound rate, mass distribution, weight... and so on.

This was what Yuan Ji had given Yuan Chen over ten days ago after seeing this specimen.

At that time, the two of them had made a record.

Originally, Yuan Chen thought it would take a long time to feel the difference.

Now with this Spiritual Artifact, he could see slight changes over ten-plus days.

Yuan Ji was also off to the side, properly taking out a small notebook to keep statistics.

Every time Yuan Chen tapped, he recorded all the data for each part of the body.

After a while,

the two compared the previous data and looked at each other.

It was truly effective.

The mass distribution was more coordinated and perfect, and the hardness had also significantly improved.

Looking at it this way, this wardrobe was indeed a Magic Treasure for body forging.

Since that was the case...

"Go!"

Yuan Chen kicked Yuan An's statue-like body to the side.

What right did a piece of trash like you have to lie in such a treasure?

And you just kept lying there for over ten days!

What a waste of a treasure!

Yuan Chen cleaned the wardrobe thoroughly, even specifically washing it several times with the Dragon Clan's purifying water.

Only then did he turn it back into a small box and return it to his hand.

In a great mood, he and Yuan Ji went out.

He would try using it tonight.

As for Yuan An, neither of them paid any attention to him, just tossing him there and ignoring him.

"Chen'er! Come here!"

As soon as Yuan Chen stepped out, he heard his mother's angry roar.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Luo Li stepped forward.

"What's wrong? You're going to marry that Little Strawberry tomorrow too?"

Yuan Chen nodded.

He had just married Zhu Ke today, and only Little Strawberry was left.

Under the influence of the past ten-plus days, Little Strawberry had also made the correct choice.

Luo Li took a deep breath.

"She is still a child!"

Yuan Chen pondered for a moment.

A trace of attachment and gratitude appeared in his eyes.

"Mother! In front of you, I will also always be just a child."

Luo Li: "???"

Who is being sentimental with you?

She said, gritting her teeth.

"Be serious, I'm talking to you about serious business!"

"Hey! Mother, Little Strawberry is just curious for a moment. Let's just let her play along. Could we really let her sleep with me right now?"

By then, the matter would be settled...

"Really?"

Luo Li asked suspiciously.

Yuan Chen nodded.

"Mother, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"I didn't originally intend to marry her; it was Little Strawberry who thought it was interesting and begged me to let her go through the motions for fun!"

Luo Li pondered.

Why was it that looking at Yuan Chen's face, she just couldn't bring herself to believe it?
