30: She will be the young lady of the Jiang family in the future

“Congratulations, Host, for forming a match made in heaven with your Dao Companion of Fate! You are rewarded with the Heavenly Mandate Divine Ability ‘Heavenly Eye for Observing Qi’ and the Divine-Grade Puppet ‘Eighteen Ghost Guards’.”

“Heavenly Eye for Observing Qi: A Heavenly Mandate Divine Ability that allows you to see the Qi on a person, thereby discerning their intentions.”

“Eighteen Ghost Guards: Eighteen Divine-Grade Puppets, each with strength identical to your own.

If all eighteen Puppets appear simultaneously, they can activate the Eighteen Ghost Array, increasing their strength by one major Realm.

As long as one Puppet remains, the others can repair themselves.”

“Ding! Because you and your Dao Companion of Fate are a match made in heaven, the Affection Task has been converted to a Companion Task!”

“Companion Task: The Host only needs to accompany the Dao Companion of Fate. Reward: Cultivation speed increased tenfold, and a random gift box obtained every ten days!”

“May I ask, Host, if you wish to activate the Heavenly Dao Bond System?”

“Ding! This Opportunity completely adheres to the Host's voluntary principle. Aside from the confidentiality clause (this System must not be revealed to the outside world, or you will immediately suffer Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering), there are no negative penalties. You can choose to abandon this Opportunity at any time, and any rewards obtained previously will not disappear!”

“All the above terms are bound by the Heavenly Dao, so please rest assured, Host!”

“Activate!”

“Young Lord Jiang, he’s actually the Dao Companion of Fate personally appointed to me by the Heavenly Dao?”

“And he and I are a match made in heaven?”

“I just need to stay with him, that’s all?”

Xia Shirou’s face was flushed, and her heart was incredibly excited.

She didn't know what Divine Abilities or Bloodlines were, and she didn't care.

From the series of voices in her mind, she only remembered that she and Jiang Lin were a match made in heaven.

The task given to her by the Heavenly Dao was to accompany Jiang Lin.

As long as she accompanied Jiang Lin, there would be benefits.

“Even the Heavenly Dao acknowledges Young Lord Jiang and me, this is truly wonderful!”

“I will definitely accompany Young Lord well and make him happy every day!”

Thinking of this, she shyly burrowed further into the quilt.

This time, the Peerless Charm Body did not give Xia Shirou a test, nor did it involve any complex operations.

Because, at this moment, the pure Xia Shirou had completely fallen.

But Jiang Lin knew none of this.

He was still pondering the detailed plan.

In this world, he had to be cautious and careful, treading on thin ice.

This was his last chance to live!

Not a single step could be wrong!

Every step he took, he had to leave himself another path.

“Shi Rou, from now on, you are my concubine!”

Jiang Lin’s voice suddenly rang out.

Xia Shirou was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and waved her hands, saying, “Young Lord, no, Shi Rou knows your kindness to me, but this would make things difficult for you!”

“Even though it’s only a concubine, don’t mind it. Once I have more say, you will be my, Jiang Lin’s, wife. I promise you here!”

Jiang Lin looked at Xia Shirou, who was hiding in the covers, very seriously, without a hint of joking.

Among the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to attack the heart!

Xia Shirou was overwhelmed by the favor, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“Ah, thank you, Young Lord, Shi Rou is not worthy. I came from the Teaching Bureau, it would tarnish your reputation…”

Jiang Lin directly interrupted her: “Reputation? I never cared about that stuff!”

“Listen well, from today onwards, you are my, Jiang Lin’s, wife. You have no right to refuse!”

Jiang Lin’s attitude was domineering, giving Xia Shirou no room to refuse.

This was his backup plan.

Next, he would be outrageously good to this girl!

Even if Xia Shirou regained Xia Xuehan’s memories in the future, Jiang Lin wanted to make it so she wouldn't dare to act against him.

As a villain, if he couldn't even win people's hearts, how could he be worthy of living to the end!

“Someone, get a woman in here!”

“Go get my beloved concubine a gold-threaded Immortal Flowing Gown, the highest quality!”

Soon, an exquisitely beautiful garment appeared in the room.

“Ah, Young Lord, no need, I’ll put it on myself!”

Jiang Lin’s face revealed a playful smile: “Good girl, be obedient, don’t move!”

Xia Shirou was beautiful.

It was the beauty of a gentle and refined young lady.

Jiang Lin couldn't understand why the person known as the “Desperate Demonic Ancestor” could reincarnate into such a gentle and charming delicate woman.

Xia Shirou’s face was flushed crimson as Jiang Lin clumsily helped her put on the extremely complex Immortal Flowing Gown.

“Who designed this? It’s too troublesome… but my Shi Rou looks truly beautiful in it!”

Looking at the captivated Jiang Lin, Xia Shirou was filled with joy.

It had been a long time since she had been this happy.

At this moment, the man before her became the sole focus of her future life.

...

“Young Lord, Steward Jiang Liu has come looking for you five times already!”

Xia Shirou said softly and sweetly.

Jiang Lin flicked her nose and said gently, “Shi Rou, from now on, you are the mistress here. There’s no need to be so polite; just call them by their names.”

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted towards outside the pavilion:

“Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu, get your butt in here!”

“If you don’t explain clearly why you called me four or five times early in the morning, I’ll make sure you can’t stand up for the next two days!”

Jiang Liu ran into the room, sweating profusely. Seeing the ethereal Xia Shirou, he paused, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly.

“Young… Young Lord, Dao Heaven Sect has been urging you to quickly attend the Dao Child Conferment Ceremony!”

“What? Conferment as Dao Child? When?”

“To… today!”

“What the heck? When was this decided? Why didn't I know? Why didn’t you say anything yesterday?”

Jiang Lin’s head immediately swelled.

Wasn't it ten days later?

Had the plot changed again?

Was it related to Xiao Dong’s Good Fortune as the Heavens?

It shouldn't be related!

This is clearly beneficial to me…

It should be a problem on Jiang Zhiyi’s side.

He touched the bracelet on his left hand, and a message appeared in his mind.

“Perform well for me. If you dare to embarrass me, I won’t spare you when you return!”

Listening to Jiang Zhiyi’s voice, Jiang Lin was deeply moved.

Thinking of Xiao Dong’s entry ceremony, Jiang Lin wasn't too worried.

When the time comes, at worst, he would just yield the Dao Child position again…

Jiang Lin made up his mind not to confront Xiao Dong directly for now.

Once he had enough trump cards and strength, and the plan was set, who would win this script was still uncertain!

“Young Lord, I only found out this morning. It is said that your Revered Master, Hunmang Shangren, just returned from retrieving something from the Dao Heaven Secret Realm, and it was to prepare for your Dao Child ceremony.”

Jiang Lin was a little surprised.

Where exactly did things go wrong?

“Young Lord, don’t just stand there! The Sect Master has come out of seclusion, and everyone is waiting for you!”

“So urgent? Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“Ah, I was going to tell you earlier, but you said that even if the sky fell, I shouldn't disturb you, otherwise, you’d kill me…”

Jiang Lin quickly tidied his clothes, then turned to Xia Shirou and said:

“Shi Rou, come with me!”

“Ah, Young Lord, me going, isn’t it inappropriate…?”

Shi Rou asked, her face filled with surprise and a hint of panic.

“There’s nothing inappropriate. From today onwards, unless there’s a dangerous situation, you will always stay by my side!”

Jiang Lin’s gaze was steady, and his tone was firm.

This action even moved Jiang Liu.

The Young Lord had never given such an order to any woman before.

It seemed this girl was truly favored; he would have to curry favor with her more in the future.

Before he could think further, Jiang Lin’s words echoed in his ears again.

“I want to take Xia Shirou as my concubine. Go and handle this matter for me!”

“Also, tell all the stewards of the entire Jiang Family that Xia Shirou will be the Young Madam of the Jiang Family from now on. Don’t mind that the title is a concubine; this is only temporary!”

“Young Lord, this is against the rules. The Old Revered Master will…”

“Don’t worry about it. Just do what I tell you!”

“Your subordinate obeys!”

“Also, go to Black Yuan City now and make arrangements for me. I will tell you the specific details. I will go there immediately after participating in the Dao Child ceremony!”

Jiang Liu nodded hurriedly, his forehead covered in sweat.

“Shi Rou, let’s go to Dao Tian Mountain first!”

“Okay, Young Lord!”

“Shi Rou, what should you call me?”

“Hus… Husband!”
