126: Marry Zhou Jingqi

“Then let’s not talk about her. Let’s continue discussing the immortal spirit grass!” Chen Xuan said.

“According to my royal ancient records, this immortal spirit grass is a unique product of Zhongzhou! It was precisely by coincidence that my Zhou Family ancestors obtained an immortal spirit grass, greatly increasing their strength, and only then did they establish the Imperial Family!”

“So our Imperial Family has such a record?”

“You brat, you haven’t even married the Princess yet!” Zhou Wu glared at Chen Xuan.

“Cough, cough, aren’t we about to become a family? You old man, don’t mind these details!” Chen Xuan said with a grin.

Zhou Wu glared at Chen Xuan, then spoke again:

“But later, after about a thousand years, the Mountain and Sea Realm no longer had immortal spirit grass appearing. No one knew where they were.

Later, spies sent by various major Sects to the Chen Family revealed that immortal spirit grass still appeared in the Chen Family Imperial Family! Only one appeared each time, and there were huge time gaps between appearances! The Chen Family likely cultivated an immortal spirit grass in secret!”

“So, the downfall of the Chen Family is related to this immortal spirit grass? And you guessed I was from the Chen Family because you saw I had this item?”

“That’s right. Under the massacre back then, only one direct descendant of the Chen Family escaped. At that time, he was only about five or six years old. I’m not very clear on the specifics, but he is now wanted by all of Zhongzhou! As for whether it’s related to this immortal spirit grass, I don’t know.”

“Still wanted now? He must have grown up long ago. How can he be found?”

“Indeed, that’s why Zhongzhou has been turning a blind eye to this matter, but it still cannot be mentioned; it’s very taboo.”

“I see. But why are you, old man, willing to tell me such a secret?”

“You brat are too ungrateful. Not to mention your surname is Chen, you even dare to flaunt such a treasure! If some observant person sees it, you won’t even know how you died!

Even if you didn’t ask me about this, I would still warn you! Otherwise, if you die, implicating my Zhou Family would be a huge loss!”

“…”

Upon learning this information, Chen Xuan immediately had a guess about Chen Wenwen’s identity. But he did not voice his guess; instead, he expressed his gratitude to Zhou Wu.

“Thank you for Your Majesty’s reminder. I will be careful in the future.”

“Hmm, then I have nothing more to say.”

“In that case, I won’t disturb Your Majesty’s rest.” Chen Xuan stood up to bid farewell.

“Wait a moment!” Zhou Wu called out to him.

“Is there anything else?” Chen Xuan asked.

“Regarding you, I have some understanding. Your talent is good, and I hope you will treat my two daughters well.”

Chen Xuan nodded: “Don’t worry about that. I will definitely protect the Princesses. And Jingqi is so formidable, even if I don’t treat her well, I might not be able to get away with it!”

“Cough, cough, that’s good. I hope you two will be happy.” Zhou Wu said.

“En, thank you, Your Majesty.” After speaking, Chen Xuan walked out of the Imperial Palace and returned with the Zhou Jingqi sisters.

Along the way, the two sisters chattered, asking Chen Xuan questions. They were very interested in his conversation with their Imperial Father. Chen Xuan simply gave a casual explanation.

A few days later, Chen Xuan chose an auspicious day for his grand wedding with Zhou Jingqi.

And Zhou Jingqi’s grand wedding was naturally the most lively event in the entire Imperial Palace. The entire Imperial Palace, inside and out, was decorated with lanterns and streamers, full of joy.

On the day of the wedding, guests were like clouds. Important figures from various major Sects and forces throughout Zhou State gathered together to witness the happy moment of the newlyweds.

Of course, Chen Xuan received plenty of gifts; he absolutely would not let anyone off!

During the wedding ceremony, Chen Xuan and Zhou Jingqi, dressed in magnificent ceremonial robes, walked hand in hand into the grand hall. Chen Xuan’s face was handsome, and Zhou Jingqi was as beautiful as a flower. Standing together, they looked like a match made in heaven.

This made Han Wanqing feel a pang of jealousy. She pulled her best friend Lin Yunhan to a corner and complained about Chen Xuan’s promiscuity.

However, Lin Yunhan was truly not in the mood to listen to her complaints at this moment. She even let go of Han Wanqing’s hand, fearing it would be disastrous if she discovered the baby in her belly!

“Yunhan, you, what do you mean?! You’re not usually like this; you always listen to me finish!” Han Wanqing was clearly deeply hurt by her.

“Bah, don’t I know what kind of person you are? Don’t think I don’t know, you and Chen Xuan are always secretly, secretly… Ugh!”

Yun Han hadn’t finished speaking when her mouth was covered by Han Wanqing’s hand. Both girls’ faces were flushed.

“Yunhan, you, how did you know? I clearly did it very secretly with Chen Xuan!” Han Wanqing was extremely flustered.

“I… How I knew is none of your business. If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it! You really are something, actually kneeling to your disciple! This is truly, truly too…!” Lin Yunhan’s face grew redder as she spoke.

She seemed to have knelt too…

“Stop! No, it’s not what you think. I, I did it all for Cultivation, really! If you don’t believe me, I’ll have Chen Xuan come over and prove it to you!” Han Wanqing was too ashamed to face anyone. She hadn’t expected Lin Yunhan to know everything!

“No, no need. Your master-disciple… between you two, don’t involve me!” Lin Yunhan, with a red face, was about to leave.

“Ugh, no, no, you have to tell me how you knew today!” Han Wanqing refused, chasing after her and pulling Lin Yunhan away.

…

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan and Zhou Jingqi, witnessed by the Imperial Family elders, bowed to heaven and earth, then to each other as husband and wife, and finally entered the bridal chamber.

And the moment he stepped into the bridal chamber, Chen Xuan Broke through to Golden Core second level.

“Chen, Chen Xuan, how did you Break through so easily?”

“Still calling me by my name?” Chen Xuan picked up the Ruyi scepter and lifted Zhou Jingqi’s red veil.

In an instant, the beautiful woman’s exquisite face was revealed.

Her eyes sparkled like stars, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings.

She was stunningly beautiful, with features like a painting, like a Fairy descended to the mortal world.

Chen Xuan looked at Zhou Jingqi’s face, momentarily lost in thought. Every smile and frown of hers stirred his heart.

“Husband…” Zhou Jingqi looked at Chen Xuan shyly and timidly, her face flushed, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

“That’s more like it, my Princess.” Chen Xuan smiled and took Zhou Jingqi’s hand, “As for why I Broke through, it’s because I have a treasure that allows me to continuously improve my Cultivation, which is why I was able to Break through so quickly.”

“This, this treasure is so powerful?” Zhou Jingqi asked in surprise.

“Yes, it’s a treasure I obtained by chance. This treasure can not only improve Cultivation but also allow me to avoid many detours on the Dao of Cultivation.” Chen Xuan smiled wickedly.

“I see. Then this treasure is truly very precious.” Zhou Jingqi sighed.

“Exactly, this treasure is indeed very precious. However, I hope you don’t tell anyone. It’s best if only we, as family, know!” Chen Xuan said seriously.

Zhou Jingqi nodded earnestly: “I understand, Husband. This is our secret, and I will definitely keep it, not telling anyone.”

“That’s good.” Chen Xuan smiled contentedly, then gently pulled Zhou Jingqi into his arms, “Today is our wedding day. Let’s celebrate it well together, and I’ll also show you this good treasure!”

“En! Husband, please take out the treasure and show it to me first. I’m really quite curious!”
