587: Coax again, marry

“So what if I threatened you? You attacked me without asking any questions. If I didn't understand the Fire Law, I would have been frozen to death by you, old man! If you know what's good for you, let us go quickly. Otherwise, I'll argue with you here every day, and let's see where you'll put your old face!”

Chen Xuan acted shamelessly, completely disregarding that he was still under the other party's control.

Seeing the two at a stalemate, Leng Ruoyun cried even louder: “Father, Chen Xuan Gege, please stop arguing. If this continues, I’m really going to break down!”

The two people in the field stopped arguing when they saw Leng Ruoyun crying so fiercely and began to comfort her.

After all, she was not alone at the moment; there was still one in her belly. Being too sad now might harm her body, which would be a bit of a loss.

Chen Xuan was the first to comfort her. He hugged Leng Ruoyun, gently patted her back, and said softly, “Alright, Ruoyun, don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have argued with your father and made things difficult for you.”

As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears that were continuously rolling down her cheeks.

Xuanbing Immortal King Leng Liang looked at his daughter, so sad, his heart filled with both heartache and anger. But in the end, he still sighed, and his voice softened a lot:

“Girl, don’t cry anymore. Father was too impulsive just now and scared you.”

He stepped forward, wanting to reach out and touch his daughter’s head, but he was afraid that Chen Xuan, that scoundrel, would make him lose face, so his movement stopped in mid-air.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan voluntarily moved to the side, making space for Leng Liang.

“Alright, my dear daughter, since you like this boy, Father will no longer object. But if he dares to bully you, Father will certainly not let him off lightly.”

Leng Ruoyun listened, sniffled, and looked up, her eyes still brimming with tears, asking with a hint of surprise and expectation, “Father, is what you said true?”

“True, true, of course it’s true! When has Father ever lied to you?!” Leng Liang said quickly.

Actually, he had known about the identity of this boy in front of him from the very beginning.

Being able to appear silently, and with his daughter not objecting at all, meant that he himself was the scoundrel who had tricked his daughter!

But after sensing that this scoundrel only had the cultivation of the Tianxian Realm, he became furious and directly moved to suppress him.

A low-cultivation Ascendant could only succeed by deceiving his naive daughter who had not seen the world.

However, he later discovered that even as a Heavenly Immortal, he could operate some Fire Law, which suggested he had Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability. Only then did he slightly acknowledge Chen Xuan.

But then, when he thought about his daughter's belly being big and him still being such a scoundrel, he couldn't help but get angry.

This was like on Earth, where an old man’s carefully nurtured daughter was coaxed away by a punk. Who wouldn't be angry?

More importantly, his daughter’s belly was also doing well…

He, Xuanbing Immortal King, had dominated for a lifetime, but because his wife died too early, he only had this one precious daughter and no other descendants.

And his daughter was also incredibly talented, so her chances of having offspring were even more remote.

Now… he knew he had a grandson, so he was naturally overjoyed. He brought his daughter back. As for the Chen Xuan that Time Immortal Venerable told him to kill, he didn’t… Wait?! Chen Xuan?!!

Leng Liang froze, staring blankly at Chen Xuan, not saying a word.

“That’s great, Chen Xuan Gege, my father, he… he’s not stopping us anymore!” Leng Ruoyun said, looking excitedly at Chen Xuan.

“Mm, I heard. Actually, I didn’t mean to do anything else today. I came to take you… *cough cough*, I came to marry you.”

Seeing Leng Liang’s threatening expression, Chen Xuan still changed his words.

“Marry me?!” Leng Ruoyun’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief. The next second, tears welled up again, but this time, they were tears of happiness.

She had thought she would marry Chen Xuan Gege, but she hadn’t expected… it would be so soon!

“Chen Xuan Gege, is what you said true? Are you really coming to marry me?”

Chen Xuan nodded solemnly, took out an exquisite small box from his Storage Ring, and opened it. Inside was a necklace emitting a soft glow, with a dazzling blue gemstone as its pendant, surrounded by tiny diamonds, like the most brilliant star in the night sky.

“Ruoyun, I specifically found this for you. I hope you like it.”

Chen Xuan said gently, carefully placing the necklace around Leng Ruoyun’s neck.

Leng Liang watched this scene from the side, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He snorted coldly:

“You brat, marrying my daughter isn’t that simple. Although you have some Comprehension Ability, with your Tianxian Realm cultivation, which is not even as high as my girl’s, how can you protect her?”

Leng Liang crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze sharp as he stared at Chen Xuan.

“Old man… Uncle, I know my cultivation is still shallow now, but I have the determination and confidence that I will definitely become stronger. For Ruoyun, I am willing to give everything.”

Chen Xuan’s eyes were firm, showing no sign of backing down.

Leng Liang stared at Chen Xuan for a long time, and finally sighed.

There was nothing he could do; after all, he was the father of his grandson. However, he could still get some benefits, for example…

Leng Liang suddenly became serious: “Boy, remember what you said today. Ruoyun is pure and kind. I’m entrusting her to you. You must treat her well, otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will make you pay the price.”

Chen Xuan nodded quickly, his face earnest: “Uncle, rest assured. My heart for Ruoyun is witnessed by the sun and moon. I will definitely protect her and not let her suffer the slightest grievance.”

“Also, you are marrying my daughter, and I don’t need anything else, but…”

“But what?”

“But the child in Ruoyun’s belly must take her surname! And I will raise it!”

“Father! You… how can that be?!” Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoyun immediately became unhappy.

“Chen Xuan Gege, no, my husband’s and my child, how can it take my surname?! After it’s born, it must take my husband’s surname!”

“You… unfilial daughter! You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already thinking about things with this brat? If you really marry him later, I’m afraid your father will never see you again!”

Leng Liang was so angry that he was puffing and glaring.

His carefully nurtured little flower was so willingly stuck in cow dung!

“Hey, Ruoyun, how can you talk to your father like that! I just think that if your father, this old man, loses you, his future life will definitely be lonely and miserable. Why don’t we have a son and give him to… *cough cough*, foster him with him, and let him keep him company!”

“Hahaha, good, good, you brat, you have some sense!”

“Husband, you are so kind… ♡”

“Cough cough, alright, alright. But old man, after I marry Ruoyun, I’ll take her to my territory first. After she gives birth, I’ll bring the child back. I need to tell you this in advance.”

“How do I know you won’t run away?”

“Because if I don’t want to, you probably don’t have a better way.” Chen Xuan tightened his embrace around Leng Ruoyun.

“Father, what are you saying! How could we possibly run away? Your daughter isn’t stupid. Even if your daughter gets married, she will definitely come home to visit!” Leng Ruoyun said coquettishly.
