42: Chapter 42 is complete; he marries Wu Qingya.

After finishing the martial arts guidance...

Su Yingxue affectionately took Wu Qingya's hand and began a detailed tour of the entire Training Room.

"Sister Qingya, look, this is the strength training area. All these devices are the latest models. This high-frequency vibration strength trainer can deeply stimulate the muscles..."

"This side is the speed and reaction training area. Look at this transparent room; rubber balls will shoot out from all directions to train your evasion abilities..."

"And there's this blood-qi circulation recovery pod. Lie in it for a while after training, and your fatigue will vanish..."

Wu Qingya was dazzled, her eyes full of wonder.

Although the Martial Arts University had some Advanced equipment, it was reserved for top students or instructors; ordinary students couldn't access it at all.

But the equipment in the Lin Family...

Was countless times better than anything she could access at school!

Some she had only even seen in martial arts magazines!

"How many times gravity can this Gravity Chamber reach at most?" Wu Qingya asked curiously.

Su Yingxue led her to the most luxurious Gravity Chamber and gave a mysterious smile: "This one... can reach one hundred times!"

"One hundred times?!" Wu Qingya gasped, covering her mouth in shock.

The Gravity Chambers she could use at school could only go up to twenty times at most.

One hundred times... that was a concept completely beyond her reach!

Shen Youqing added "nonchalantly" from the side:

"It's a pity Yingxue and I have such poor cultivation; we can't use this Gravity Chamber to Cultivate yet."

"Otherwise, paired with the Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique 'Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method', the results would surely be excellent."

Wu Qingya keenly caught the keywords:

"Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method? A Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique?"

"That's right."

Su Yingxue nodded, her tone as natural as if she were saying the weather was nice today.

"Sister Qingya, you have no idea how good this Cultivation Technique is."

"Sister Wen Yan has even stopped the Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique she learned from the authorities to switch to this one."

Shen Youqing also chimed in gently:

"This Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method our husband gave us... Sister Wen Yan says it's the best Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique she's ever seen, better than those official ones that cost hundreds of millions to learn."

Wu Qingya was a bit dazed.

Better than the official ones?

The official martial arts repository included almost every technique on the market!

She had previously thought about learning an official Yellow-Grade Ultimate Guidance Technique once she saved enough money...

But now, Su Yingxue was actually saying the Lin Family's was better than the official ones?

However, considering Wen Yan was a second-stage Perfection Martial Artist, her judgment was naturally sharp; if she said it was good, it must be truly good.

Wu Qingya believed it.

Su Yingxue continued to "cast the bait," her tone relaxed and natural:

"If Sister Qingya marries into the Lin Family, we can Cultivate the Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method together."

"Cultivating together with more people allows us to discuss it with each other, making progress even faster!"

Wu Qingya asked blankly: "I... I can Cultivate it too?"

"Of course!" Su Yingxue said as if it were a matter of fact.

"We're all Family here. Not only can you Cultivate this, but the equipment here can also be used as you please. And..."

She leaned into Wu Qingya's ear and lowered her voice, smiling:

"And husband is very generous!"

"Since Youqing and I became Martial Artists, we've already consumed 2 first-grade blood essence pills."

"If it weren't for the fact that being pregnant makes it hard to refine blood-qi, we might have used even more."

Wu Qingya was completely stunned.

She was so overwhelmed that she didn't even notice the word "pregnant" in Su Yingxue's sentence; her mind was filled with "2 first-grade blood essence pills."

A first-grade blood essence pill... one costs twenty million!

In all her years, she had barely even seen them a few times!

Yet Lin Yun's two wives had already eaten 2 each?!

That's forty million!

Just... eaten like that?

Wu Qingya felt her worldview being shaken.

She Cultivated so hard, worrying over techniques costing millions and scrimping for pills costing hundreds of thousands...

While in the Lin Family... tens of millions worth of pills were just casual snacks?

After coming out of the Training Room, Wu Qingya's face was a bit flushed, and she began to frequently steal glances at Lin Yun.

With every glance, the scales in her heart tipped a bit further.

Lin Yun's handsome profile, his gentle smile, his consideration for his wives, his profound understanding of martial arts...

Plus the Lin Family's immense wealth and superior cultivation conditions...

All of it was like a meticulously woven dream, so beautiful she hardly dared to believe it.

Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing looked at each other and smiled, both seeing the words "it's working" in each other's eyes.

Su Yingxue took Wu Qingya's arm and, when she stole another glance at Lin Yun, whispered:

"Sister Qingya, how about we be good sisters together from now on?"

Wu Qingya's body stiffened.

She looked at Su Yingxue's sincere eyes, then at Shen Youqing's gentle smile, and finally, her gaze landed on Lin Yun.

The young, handsome man seemed to sense her gaze and turned his head, giving her a slight smile.

That smile was warm and clean, like spring sunshine.

Wu Qingya's heart rate suddenly accelerated, and she instinctively looked away.

Biting her lip and lowering her head, she replied in a voice that was almost inaudible: "Mm..."

That "mm" was as light as a feather landing on the ground.

But it reached the ears of Su Yingxue and Shen Youqing perfectly clearly.

Both of them simultaneously broke into joyful smiles.

It was done!

And Lin Yun, walking beside them, also received a notification from the System at this moment:

[Ding! Target character Wu Qingya's favorability has increased significantly. Current favorability: 85 (Infatuated)]

[Prompt: You may proceed with a marriage proposal; success rate is over 90%]

The corners of Lin Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

It seemed this marriage... was a sure thing.

When Wu De heard the words "I am willing to marry" from his daughter's mouth, he was so excited he nearly jumped up.

"Really? Qingya, you've really agreed?" Wu De asked in disbelief.

Wu Qingya nodded with a red face: "Mm... Lin Yun... he's a good person."

"Sister Su and Sister Shen are also very good to me. And... the Lin Family can provide me with better cultivation conditions."

She didn't say it very bluntly, but Wu De understood.

His daughter had been moved by the Lin Family's conditions.

"Good, good, good!" Wu De was overjoyed. "I'll go discuss it with Old Master Lin right now and pick an auspicious day!"

He immediately found Grandfather Lin Zhentian. The two Family heads hit it off instantly and began flipping through the almanac on the spot.

"The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, suitable for marriage!" Grandfather Lin Zhentian pointed at the almanac.

Wu De hesitated slightly: "The day after tomorrow... isn't that a bit rushed? The dowry and everything aren't prepared yet..."

"What's rushed about it!" Grandfather Lin Zhentian waved his hand grandly.

"When our Lin Family does things, efficiency is number one! Don't worry about the dowry; our Lin Family can send the betrothal gifts over first, and then you can prepare the dowry!"

Ultimately, both parties agreed to hold the wedding in three days.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Lin Family Manor was once again decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with a festive atmosphere.

This time, there were even more guests than before.

Not only did almost the entire upper class of Jiang City attend, but many families from the prefectural city, Tianshui City, also sent representatives to offer congratulations.

After all, this was an alliance between the Wu Family and the Lin Family of Jiang City, which held extraordinary significance.

The wedding proceedings were the same as before, solemn and joyous.

Wu Qingya, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, wearing a phoenix crown and a red veil over her face, slowly entered the hall supported by bridesmaids.

Though her face couldn't be seen clearly, her graceful figure and ethereal temperament already had the guests present sighing in admiration.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth—!"

"Second bow to the Elders—!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other—!"

With the three bows finished, the ceremony was complete.

"Escort them to the bridal chamber—!"
