270: Chapter 270

Her eyes were vacant, and she was still muttering to herself.

We may never see each other again in this lifetime, but you can rest assured; I will definitely give birth to the child.

She was completely unaware that the Xuan Emperor had quietly stood by her side, curiously staring at the items in her hand. Fortunately, the object was quite obscure, and it was hard to tell what its purpose was.

Shuanger, what are you doing?

Ji Rushuang hurriedly stuffed the items under her pillow, pretending to be nonchalant.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Rise.

The Xuan Emperor gently flicked Ji Rushuang's pert nose. There are no outsiders here, so why are you being so formal with your brother?

Ji Rushuang beamed and hugged the Xuan Emperor's arm.

Brother, why didn't you let me know you were coming? I didn't even go out to welcome you.

The Xuan Emperor slowly reached out his hand. Shuanger, what was that in your hand just now? Can you take it out and let me see?

Ji Rushuang covered the quilt and shook her head hurriedly. It's nothing, just a little toy to pass the time when I'm bored.

After chatting casually about trivial matters and seeing that the atmosphere had become much more harmonious, the Xuan Emperor tentatively asked, Shuanger, what do you think of A Kun?

Not bad. He is handsome, very ambitious, and is a Genius rarely seen in the Immortal Realm in ten thousand years.

Ji Rushuang spoke objectively. She also knew that Ji Dakun was very important to the Xuan Emperor and dared not stir up trouble, fearing that they might fall out and give other Sects an opportunity.

The Immortal Realm is filled with countless Sects, and the competition is exceptionally cruel. It has always been survival of the fittest; only the strong can survive, and the weak are not sympathized with.

Often, for the sake of profit, it is even bloodier than the Demon, Ghost, and Spirit Three Realms.

Vicious schemes and plots are impossible to guard against, with no bottom line to speak of.

After some probing, the Xuan Emperor was unable to find out anything from Ji Rushuang, and he still did not know who the biological father of the child in her belly was.

Shuanger, go to sleep early. You need to keep a happy mood and stop all Cultivation during this period.

Alright, I will stay in the room and won't go anywhere.

Returning to his study, the Xuan Emperor focused entirely on his next layout; Ji Rushuang was still unwilling to reveal the child's father.

As time passed, Ji Rushuang's belly would grow larger and larger, and sooner or later, it would be impossible to hide.

At that time, an unwed pregnancy would be a great disgrace to the entire Xuantian Sect, and the Xuan Emperor would become the laughingstock of the Immortal Realm; how could he then command the masses?

After much thought, he decided to find Ji Dakun to be the scapegoat. Regardless of whether the child was his or not, this good fortune had to fall on him.

Ji Rushuang's objective answer led the Xuan Emperor to believe that she had a good impression of Ji Dakun; now he only needed to resolve his status as an adopted son.

Ji Dakun constantly weighed the benefits and decided to go to the Xuantian Sect to propose marriage.

Reporting to Your Majesty, Revered Yu has arrived.

The betrothal gifts were ready, and the carefully selected team was in place.

Suddenly, the Xuan Emperor's personal envoy arrived outside, leaving Ji Dakun flustered. He quickly ordered the steward to bring Revered Yu to the reception hall first.

You all hide these first. Without my order, no one is to act rashly.

Yes, subordinate obeys.

Ji Dakun was trembling with fear, thinking that the Xuan Emperor had learned the news in advance and had sent an envoy to hold him accountable.

According to seniority, he had to call Ji Rushuang Little Aunt. Although there was no blood relationship, this act was undoubtedly rebellious.

In order to develop and grow as quickly as possible, Ji Dakun could not care about so much. After Ji Rushuang left, he was lovesick and tormented every night.

He felt deep regret that his previous scheme had not succeeded, but it was not too late to remedy the situation. With his current strength, it was very likely that the Xuan Emperor would agree to this marriage.

First see what Revered Yu had to say; if the situation was bad, Ji Dakun would rebel directly.

Revered Yu was a chubby, endearing man who always greeted people with a smile; he was a well-known smiling tiger.

Congratulations, Young Master Kun, congratulations.

Ji Dakun was dumbfounded, really unclear what medicine Revered Yu was selling in his gourd; this guy always hid a knife in his smile.

Revered Yu, please don't tease this Junior. Where does this joy come from?

This Junior has been unable to expand territory for His Majesty the Xuan Emperor during this period, and I reflect on it every day, unable to sleep at night.

Facing Revered Yu, Ji Dakun was obviously much more polite than he had been with Revered Lei, speaking with caution.

Revered Yu took out a golden silk scroll stamped with the Xuan Emperor's seal.

As soon as it was opened, Ji Dakun led his subordinates to kneel respectfully on the ground, waiting for the order to be read.

Revered Yu scanned Ji Dakun out of the corner of his eye and gently stroked his long beard.

Effective immediately, the title of Young Master Kun is revoked. You are no longer the Xuan Emperor's adopted son. You are hereby conferred the title of Peerless War God.

This subject thanks His Majesty the Xuan Emperor.

Ji Dakun was happier than if he had eaten honey; he hurriedly took the scroll.

The Xuan Emperor's move directly paved the way for Ji Dakun's marriage proposal plan; if word got out, no one would call him rebellious.

He sent out a large number of internet trolls to hype it up, and soon a melodramatic story of Ji Dakun and Ji Rushuang being childhood sweethearts with a devoted, tortuous love spanning tens of thousands of years was playing out in the Immortal Realm.

Those who heard it were saddened, those who listened were moved to tears, and the uninformed onlookers were moved to a mess.

Ji Dakun was well-versed in the art of public opinion and took this opportunity to organize a team to go to the Xuantian Sect to propose marriage.

Chapter 364: Adopted Son Becomes Brother-in-law

Ji Rushuang knew the Xuan Emperor was probing her and was very clear about the rumors outside.

She pretended that nothing had happened and gently touched her smooth belly.

Little one, you really came at the wrong time. Since you are already a little life, no matter what happens in the future, Mother will definitely protect you.

After choosing an auspicious day, Ji Dakun led a massive wedding procession to the Xuantian Sect. He was no longer the Xuan Emperor's adopted son and had been conferred the title of Peerless War God.

The entire Immortal Realm knew this news, and no one would care about Ji Dakun's past because he was now strong enough and was an object that various Sects scrambled to win over.

The Xuan Emperor also knew this point well; as long as he married Ji Rushuang to him, he could firmly tie the Immortal Realm's once-in-ten-thousand-years Genius to his own camp.

As long as the wedding night passed, no matter whose child was in Ji Rushuang's belly, Ji Dakun would have to take the fall.

A wedding procession of nearly a thousand people appeared at the gate of the Xuantian Sect, quickly attracting onlookers from the Sect's Disciples.

There were also many Immortals who traveled thousands of miles from other Sects to watch the excitement. This was a major event in the Immortal Realm for the past hundred years, and the onlookers naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.

In the future, they would have plenty of conversation topics when drinking and bragging with their good buddies.

Ji Dakun took out the good things he had collected for many years; this time it had to be very grand.

Previously, he had been inexplicably robbed of many treasures, and to this day, he hadn't found the culprit. With no clues and no traces, he could only accept his bad luck.

Fortunately, he had hidden many treasures in other places; otherwise, Ji Dakun would have lost all face this time.

The Xuan Emperor showed sufficient importance to this grand wedding, and the Disciples had long since decorated the entire Sect very grandly, filled with red celebration everywhere.

Ji Dakun led the large group into the Xuantian Sect with his head held high. He secretly thought to himself: This is just the beginning; in the future, this place will all be mine.

The Xuan Emperor changed his previous low-key style and invited all major Sects to attend the wedding.

From being an adopted son to now becoming a brother-in-law, it left everyone greatly shocked.

As long as the relationship between the Xuan Emperor and Ji Dakun was unbreakable, the Xuantian Sect would have two Immortal Emperors guarding it, making it the undisputed number one Sect in the Immortal Realm.

It could also be considered to have completely cut off Ji Dakun's thought of setting up his own faction.

Greetings, His Majesty the Xuan Emperor.

The Xuan Emperor went up to welcome him warmly and asked the butler to greet the Disciples to take the betrothal gifts from the wedding procession, specifically instructing them to be careful.

A Kun, from now on we are all one family. There is no need to be so grand; your heart is enough.

Ji Dakun's ability to disguise himself had always been strong, and he was already well-versed in such polite platitudes.

He immediately put on a brilliant smile, not only bowing to the Xuan Emperor but also cupping his hands to the guests who had come from afar; his superficial work was quite thorough.

They had only discussed it privately a few days ago, and now they were holding the wedding ceremony impatiently to avoid complications; this was very much in line with the interests of both parties.

An elder brother is like a father. In the future, the Princess and I will definitely honor you well.

The Xuan Emperor beamed, his wrinkles fully exposed, and he bowed to all the guests.

Distinguished guests, thank you for your trouble. Please move to the main hall; the wedding is about to begin.

The massive stream of people poured into the main hall, where huge Dragon and Phoenix statues stood at the entrance, all made of pure gold.

Two maidservants were dressing Ji Rushuang; her phoenix crown and rosy cape displayed elegance and luxury.

Princess, you are so beautiful. This servant has never seen such a beautiful bride.

Ji Rushuang touched her belly expressionlessly. She knew very well that the brother she had once saved by risking her life had long since changed.

Humble and low-key on the surface, but calculating behind the scenes, he was extremely obsessed with power and dreamed of uniting the Immortal Realm and becoming the master of all worlds.

You two hurry up and don't delay the auspicious time.

Three days ago, the Xuan Emperor talked with her for a long time, recalling many past events from their childhood, and finally asked her if she was willing to marry Ji Dakun.

In fact, the Xuan Emperor had long reached a consensus with Ji Dakun; if Ji Rushuang did not agree, he would have to resort to special means.

He didn't expect her to agree so readily, which was truly unexpected.

This action made the Xuan Emperor even more convinced that the child in Ji Rushuang's belly was Ji Dakun's.

He had let Ji Rushuang stay on Kunpeng Mountain for twelve days, perhaps intentionally creating an opportunity for them, and now it had finally borne fruit.

The wedding officiant shouted loudly: The auspicious time has arrived!

Two fairies supported Ji Rushuang as she walked slowly into the main hall. At this moment, she was the most beautiful bride in the room.

Ji Dakun was grinning from ear to ear, while Ji Rushuang was very indifferent, with a poker face throughout.

The wedding ceremony lasted for more than two hours before it ended. The entire Xuantian Sect was extremely lively, and the sound of clinking glasses rose and fell.

Counting the main hall and the square outside, hundreds of tables were set up. According to custom, the Xuan Emperor had to take the groom to toast everyone one by one.
