125: Chen Family Royal Family

Zhou Wu was furious, looking at his two daughters.

Then, his brows relaxed.

"It's not impossible for you to marry my daughters, but the betrothal gift is extremely demanding!"

"Father, our Imperial Dynasty isn't lacking in wealth, why must you make things difficult for him with this?" Zhou Jingyi pouted.

"Alright, alright, it's just some wealth, it's not like I can't afford these things!" Chen Xuan said, rubbing Zhou Jingyi's head.

"Heh heh, you probably don't know what I want!" Zhou Wu sneered.

"Oh? Then what do you need?"

"immortal spirit grass!"

"What?! Father, you want immortal spirit grass?! This is clearly just trying to prevent us from marrying Chen Xuan!" Zhou Jingqi exclaimed.

"Exactly! That's immortal spirit grass! Even after our Zhou Family has been in the Mountain and Sea Realm for so long, only an ancestor from a few thousand years ago ever used it! This thing only exists in records!"

"Boy, I just don't know how much you like my two daughters!" Zhou Wu ignored his two daughters and stared at Chen Xuan.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan was browsing the System's shop.

"immortal spirit grass... It's here, 10,000 Heaven's Mandate Value per stalk?! What in the world is this?"

So he clicked to see its effects.

"So it adds a bit of everything, and it has many functions, it's quite a good item. Ten thousand it is!" After a moment of exclamation, Chen Xuan exchanged for the immortal spirit grass.

"What, no words? It seems your feelings for my daughters are nothing special!" Zhou Wu looked at Chen Xuan disdainfully.

"Oh? Are you referring to this?"

Chen Xuan casually flicked his hand, and the immortal spirit grass appeared in his palm. He wasn't afraid of any accidents; by now, he had more than enough confidence!

"This, this is..." Emperor Zhou Wu looked at Chen Xuan with immense surprise.

"immortal spirit grass, I happen to have one here. I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied?" Chen Xuan said.

Emperor Zhou Wu was so shocked he couldn't speak. He had thought Chen Xuan would be in a difficult situation, but he never expected Chen Xuan to actually produce immortal spirit grass.

Zhou Jingyi and Zhou Jingqi were also surprised; they hadn't expected Chen Xuan to actually possess immortal spirit grass.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty!" Chen Xuan smiled and handed the immortal spirit grass to Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu took the immortal spirit grass, looking at the immortal spirit grass that exuded a rich aura of life, and felt a shock in his heart. He took the immortal spirit grass, somewhat disbelievingly, and carefully examined it.

Before long, he picked up the Formation plate on the table and immediately activated the Formation's protection.

"That's right! This, this is truly immortal spirit grass! How is this possible, only that place could... No, you said your surname is Chen?!" Zhou Wu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"I wonder if the Chen Family Imperial Dynasty from 20 years ago has anything to do with you..."

"It has nothing to do with me."

"That's impossible! If it has nothing to do with you, you couldn't possibly have this!"

"This item was indeed obtained by chance, and it's the only one. I didn't expect it to come in handy now! I am quite interested in the Chen Family Imperial Dynasty you mentioned." Chen Xuan's answer was ambiguous.

Zhou Wu looked at his two daughters, holding the immortal spirit grass without speaking.

"Father, since you already said that as long as Chen Xuan produced immortal spirit grass, you would let us marry him, you have nothing more to say now, right!"

"You girl, you haven't even married yet and your elbow is already turning outwards!"

"Isn't it true that a monarch's word is law!"

"Good, good! Since he can produce immortal spirit grass, I won't make things difficult for him anymore. Chen Xuan, right? As long as you treat my two daughters sincerely, I'll be at ease." Seeing his two daughters' elbows turning outwards, he lost all his temper.

The most crucial thing was that Chen Xuan really had this immortal spirit grass!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I, Chen Xuan, will cherish and protect the Princesses in every way, and will never allow them to suffer the slightest grievance." Chen Xuan said seriously.

"You'd best keep your word. If you dare to betray my daughters, I will make you understand the consequences of offending my Zhou Family, even if it costs me everything!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never let down the two Princess Your Highnesses!" Chen Xuan cupped his hands.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou Wu was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "If that's the case, then all the better!"

...

Then Chen Xuan asked the Princess sisters to wait for him outside, as he and the Emperor still had matters to discuss.

"Your Majesty, could you tell me about the Chen Family Imperial Dynasty? I saw you hesitating earlier."

"Alas, this is not a very secret matter, you can find out with a little inquiry!"

"I'm all ears."

"Twenty years ago, the Chen Family Imperial Dynasty was the most powerful Imperial Dynasty in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm. All the Sects and everything within the entire Central Continent had to obey their commands!

Sometimes, even we, the Imperial Family, had to obey them obediently when commanded!"

"And then?"

"And then? Then, in a single night, all their experts were wiped out, and the main branch was almost entirely slaughtered. I'm not very clear on the specific reasons. The very next day, a new emperor ascended the throne, still a Chen Family member, but from a collateral branch."

"So, what does this have to do with me possessing immortal spirit grass?"

"This is precisely what I wanted to conceal! Jingqi, as a Princess, I haven't told her some core things, planning to tell her when her strength is higher."

"What about Jingyi?"

"Her talent isn't high, and she'll eventually marry out, so I don't plan to let her know about this!"

"..."

"You truly are... free-spirited and uninhibited!"

"Bah! You brat, how could I not know what kind of temper Jingyi has? Just a little provocation, and she'll immediately blurt out everything she knows. If I let her know some secrets, then wouldn't our Imperial Dynasty have no secrets left?" Zhou Wu glanced sideways at Chen Xuan.

"Uh, that's true..."
