Chapter 209 Our Family
On the other side, in the courtyard where Zheng Wan was staying at the Prefectural Governors Mansion.
Although the beauty had left, her fragrance remained.
Yan Chu sighed; his fire still hadn't been fully vented, even though Zheng Wan could no longer bear it.
However, since she had begged him so earnestly, he decided to let her off for now.
In any case, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future!
For now, it was better to boost his strength first!
Since the great battle last night, from the Hidden Sword Palace to the Prefectural Governors Mansion, apart from the time spent traveling, he hadn't stopped for a moment and hadn't had the chance to convert last night's experience into strength.
Indeed, a bed of comfort is a hero's grave!
That was just a saying, but women really did affect the speed at which he drew his blade!
γ host: Yan Chu γ
γ Cultivation: Ninth Realm, Mountain-Shaking Peak γ
γ Cultivation Technique: Three Points Returning to Origin Qi (Perfection), Indestructible Vajra Divine Art (Ninth Level 153210/900000) γ
γ Martial Skill: Little Lis Flying Dagger (subtle realm 22635/45000), Immortal Flying from Beyond the Heavens (Minor Achievement 2239/7000), Unrestrained Ascension Step (Minor Achievement 9862/15000) γ
γ Experience Points: 510000 γ
"Five hundred and ten thousand experience points!"
Yan Chu grinned.
At the top of Heavenly Sword Peak, he had killed seven Great Grandmasters, plus Leng Hetong and two others. Afterward, the remaining members of the Hidden Sword Palace sought their own deaths, and he killed another eight or nine, including both Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, which ultimately transformed into a huge sum of experience for him.
After last night's battle, the Hidden Sword Palace had lost nearly seventy percent of its strength.
But as long as it could provide him with experience, it was all worth it!
"Now, first let's upgrade Little Lis Flying Dagger and Unrestrained Ascension Step to Perfection!"
Boom!
As Yan Chu finished speaking, countless cultivation memories flooded into his mind.
Little Lis Flying Dagger reached Perfection in an instant!
His flying dagger became truly infallible, hitting whatever he aimed at.
If before it was controlling the blade with spirit, now it was controlling the blade with his heart, reaching a higher level of flying dagger mastery.
Meanwhile, he felt his whole body become light, as if he were about to ascend to immortality at any moment.
Swish!
Yan Chu opened his eyes and took a step. It was silent, the air was directly pushed aside, and he appeared high in the sky. With another step, he appeared outside Tongzhou Prefecture.
"What a terrifying movement technique!"
Yan Chu couldn't help but exclaim. This speed exceeded the speed of sound, yet it didn't emit any fluctuations. It was worthy of being a technique created by the accumulation of martial arts from an ancient monster of a thousand years.
Although Di Shitian's martial arts talent was average, the methods he created had their subtleties.
If Unrestrained Ascension Step was already like this, what would the even more profound Seven-No-Desolation be like?
Shaking his head, he temporarily put these thoughts aside. Looking at the remaining 360,000+ experience points, Yan Chu added them all to Indestructible Vajra Divine Art.
Immediately, the feeling of countless muscles and bones being torn apart and reorganized came over him. Golden light began to cover his body, spreading to every inch of his skin, as if he were cast from gold. His body was filled with inexhaustible strength, as if he could uproot a mountain.
Yan Chu was stronger!
And harder!
...
...
In the front courtyard of the Prefectural Governors Mansion, the scene was lively and bustling. Jianghu figures and officials were drinking and toasting, filled with joy.
"Lord She, how is it? Is the First Prince's regard for you sufficient?"
Looking at the lively and boisterous scene in front, Eunuch Qiu teased She Zhijiu, who was beside him.
This Lord She had been terrified by a small blade devil these past few days; he really had no backbone! Although he, Eunuch Qiu, was just a eunuch, he didn't think much of cowardly people like She Zhijiu.
She Zhijiu's face was flushed with joy, and he said:
"Eunuch Qiu, you are too kind!"
"The First Prince was even willing to send you, an elder, to personally preside over the Prefectural Governors Mansion. How could he not value my She family?"
"After the matter here is settled, you can go to the capital and pass a word to the First Prince: I, She Zhijiu, will surely follow the First Prince's lead in the future, and I will not hesitate to give my life for him!"
"Hmm!"
Hearing She Zhijiu's words, Eunuch Qiu nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, She Zhijiu faced the many Jianghu people in the front courtyard, cupped his hands, and said:
"Everyone! I am She Zhijiu. Thank you all for giving me face today and coming to attend my daughter's grand wedding. I am deeply grateful!"
The crowd of Jianghu people below was already noisy, and upon hearing this, they all started to jeer and respond.
"Lord She is too polite!"
"It is our honor to witness the marriage of the Young Miss She!"
"Where is the bride? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
"Hahaha!"
At the wedding, everyone was much more relaxed. Even though She Zhijiu was usually quite dignified, he laughed when he heard these words.
Not far away, the Cao Gang Protector, "Burning Heaven Flood Dragon Guest" Liao Tao, laughed and said:
"Lord She, the First Prince's eight-bearer sedan chair is already prepared, just waiting for the bride to board. The time has come, shouldn't the bride come out now?"
"As her father, don't be reluctant to let your daughter go!"
"Hahaha!"
On the other side, the Six Doors Golden Badge Commander, Xu Jingfeng, also teased:
"With your precious daughter getting married, Brother She is probably feeling sour in his heart. Brother Liao, don't rub salt into his wound!"
She Zhijiu laughed and said:
"What are you two saying?"
"It is my daughter's good fortune to be able to marry the First Prince. How could I, as her father, be reluctant?"
The Cao Gang headquarters was located in Jiangzhou, which was not close to Tongzhou Prefecture, but they had already defected to the First Prince, and now both sides were on the same front, which was why the Cao Gang leader had sent Liao Tao to attend the wedding at the She residence.
Seeing everyone urging him, She Zhijiu ordered his attendant:
"Go bring the Young Miss out!"
Saying this, She Zhijiu also felt a bit emotional. His daughter, whom he had worked hard to raise for over twenty years, was about to be married off. It was impossible not to feel a bit heartbroken.
However, as he had said, being able to marry the First Prince was already the She family climbing high. If it weren't for the other party wanting to win him over, he might not necessarily marry She Manman.
Before long, She Manman was carried out on the back of a sturdy woman, followed by the beautiful and alluring Zheng Wan in a purple palace dress, as well as two rows of maids carrying bamboo baskets filled with five grains.
She Zhijiu's gaze first fell on She Manman, who was covered with a red bridal veil, and a flash of sadness appeared in his eyes.
The next glance went to Zheng Wan, and he suddenly discovered that Zheng Wan looked a bit different today.
He couldn't quite put his finger on this change.
He only felt that she was somewhat... more charming and alluring.
After his wife passed away early, he had once had designs on Zheng Wan.
Unfortunately, she inherited the position of Shadow Moon Sect Sect Master, focused on cultivation, vowed to lead the Shadow Moon Sect back to its Peak, and sternly rejected him.
He could only suppress this thought.
Seeing Zheng Wan like this now, the flame in his heart could not help but burn again.
"My Lord!"
Zheng Wan did not know about the change in She Zhijiu's mindset. Her heart was pounding, but she suppressed her emotional fluctuations and bowed with a calm expression.
"Hmm!"
She Zhijiu's expression softened, and he said:
"Zheng Wan, I will leave Manman to you from now on!"
"After you go to the capital, you must protect her well and never let anyone bully her!"
"In a few days, perhaps I will also be transferred to the capital, and then we will be one family and can be reunited!"
"We are one family?"
"When did I become one family with you?"
A series of question marks appeared over Zheng Wan's head, but she tossed them aside in an instant, thinking that She Zhijiu had just made a slip of the tongue.
