523: This is great! This is life!

"After all, I already left the Xiao Family a long time ago and changed my name. I have no connection to the Xiao Family now. General Ye—no, I should say the New Emperor—shouldn't bother me over this. It wouldn't be worth the trouble," Xiao Se said, shaking his head.

"That's true. Besides, I think Brother-in-law knows your identity but has never acted on it. He won't specifically target you because of this," Lei Wujie nodded.

"So, you are worrying too much. Now I can relax and enjoy the rest of my life," Xiao Se said, smiling at Lei Wujie.

"Haha, you're right. What's the point of being an Emperor? Wouldn't it be better to live a life of freedom and vengeance in the Jianghu? Isn't that more enjoyable?" Lei Wujie waved his hand generously, picked up his wine cup, and drained it in one gulp.

"Tsk... Wonderful. This is life."

Watching Lei Wujie's unrestrained appearance, Xiao Se shook his head helplessly.

He was different from Lei Wujie; how could he be as unrestrained as him?

If he truly could, he wouldn't be sitting here, nor would he be friends with Lei Wujie.

His life would have taken a completely different turn, unlike how it was now.

"Alright, why do you have time to be here? Shouldn't you be at home preparing for your sister's wedding?" Xiao Se looked at Lei Wujie, confused.

"Uh, actually, everything is ready. We're just waiting for my sister and Brother-in-law."

"But it's been almost half a year, and the two of them haven't made a move."

"We don't know, and we wouldn't dare ask. You know my sister's temper."

"If I rushed her about this, she'd probably give me a good beating. And I definitely wouldn't dare ask Brother-in-law," Lei Wujie said, drinking moodily, looking depressed.

Xiao Se hadn't expected this result. Didn't this mean Lei Wujie had spent months having the people of the Lei Family Fort prepare for a wedding that ultimately amounted to nothing?

"So what are you planning to do now?" Xiao Se asked, looking at Lei Wujie curiously.

"What can I do? Just wait. It's already an internal arrangement, so I'm not worried. Since Sis is already designated, no one dares to harbor intentions toward her."

"I'm just curious how long Sis can remain reserved."

"Since it's inevitable, why be so reserved? Isn't she afraid that if she's late, her status in the Prince's Estate will drop?"

"I know that several of the Ladies in my Brother-in-law's Prince's Estate have already borne heirs for the Duan Family, and their status is unshakeable."

"Sis is already a step behind. If she doesn't hurry up in this regard, she might be overtaken by latecomers," Lei Wujie said helplessly.

"Why do I feel like you're more anxious than she is?"

"Don't tell me you have someone you like?" Xiao Se looked at Lei Wujie with a strange expression.

"How could that be? I'm just curious what kind of Betrothal Gift Brother-in-law will offer when he marries my sister."

When the Betrothal Gift was mentioned, Lei Wujie's eyes instantly lit up.

The first time they met, just because he called him Brother-in-law, he was given a dà huán dān. Now, for something as important as a wedding, the Betrothal Gift certainly wouldn't be shabby.

He wondered how valuable the Betrothal Gift Brother-in-law would bring out.

Hearing Lei Wujie's words, Xiao Se was also curious what kind of Betrothal Gift Prince Duan would offer, given his status, to marry the First Sword Immortal of Snow Moon City.

"Hmm, actually, I'm quite curious too," Xiao Se nodded.

After Duan Zhengchun left with Ye Ruoyi, they returned to the restaurant. Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings and thinking about what might happen next, Ye Ruoyi nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes, not daring to look at Duan Zhengchun.

"Wh-what did you bring me here for?" As Ye Ruoyi spoke, her gaze drifted towards the window, avoiding Duan Zhengchun's aggressive eyes.

"What's wrong? Nervous? Didn't This Prince say he would help treat you?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Ye Ruoyi with a smile.

"Can you really cure me?"

Hearing that he was going to cure her illness, Ye Ruoyi immediately raised her head to look at Duan Zhengchun.

"Of course. This Prince never lies and doesn't make promises lightly. If I agree, I will naturally follow through," Duan Zhengchun said.

"Good. As long as you can cure me, I will definitely fulfill the condition we discussed earlier." Ye Ruoyi took a deep breath and looked at Duan Zhengchun with determined eyes.

Duan Zhengchun nodded, snapped his fingers, and instantly, a large Bathtub appeared before them, filled with hot water.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Bathtub, Ye Ruoyi looked at Duan Zhengchun confusedly, momentarily unsure what he meant.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"You'll know in a moment."

As Duan Zhengchun spoke, a marrow cleansing pill appeared in his hand.

"This is a marrow cleansing pill. It can perform Marrow Cleansing. After Marrow Cleansing, all the negative issues in your body can be resolved."

"What? A marrow cleansing pill? Marrow Cleansing? It only takes one Medicinal Pill? Does such a Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill really exist in this world?" Ye Ruoyi looked at the unassuming Medicinal Pill before her, completely shocked.

Marrow Cleansing!

Martial Artists can also undergo Marrow Cleansing, but this requires someone who has at least reached the Grandmaster Realm to willingly give up all their power to perform Marrow Cleansing for a non-Cultivator.

A person who undergoes Marrow Cleansing will walk the path of Martial Dao more smoothly and travel further than others.

However, this requires sacrificing a Great Grandmaster Master, and it might not even succeed. If the person undergoing Marrow Cleansing cannot withstand the pain it brings, it will still fail.

This kind of act can be considered going against the heavens. After all, if you want to help someone who hasn't achieved much change their destiny, you must bear the consequences of their destiny.

Therefore, generally, people won't do this, unless they encounter someone near death or someone who wishes to leave behind a Legacy.

Such a difficult feat could actually be solved by this one Medicinal Pill right here?

This sounds somewhat unbelievable.

"Nothing is impossible. There are too many things in this world that you don't know about."

"Some people even possess the Art of Resurrection. What's so surprising about just one Medicinal Pill?" Duan Zhengchun curled his lip.

"What? There really is an Art of Resurrection?" Ye Ruoyi's eyes widened in shock.

"People can Cultivate to the Earth Immortal Realm. To ordinary people, such a person is a Deity. Why is it strange that someone can achieve resurrection?"

Duan Zhengchun's tone was calm, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.

Ye Ruoyi nodded thoughtfully. It seemed true. If Earth Immortals existed, what else was impossible?

"Alright, take it quickly. This Prince will personally act as your Protector," Duan Zhengchun urged.

"Ah? Really here?" Ye Ruoyi looked hesitant.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to recover? If you're unwilling, This Prince won't force you. The Medicinal Pill is right here; you decide whether to take it or not," Duan Zhengchun said, shrugging.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"It's just that I heard the process of Marrow Cleansing is very painful, and Filth will appear on the body." Ye Ruoyi shyly glanced at Duan Zhengchun.
