Since learning that in just three days she would be married off to her own little troublemaker, Su Bai had attempted to kill herself eighty-one times! Damn it! She’d rather have this simulation fail than let that brat get his way!
She hadn’t even stolen anyone else’s precious “little cabbage” yet, and now she was about to be stolen by her own!
But the thrill of seeking death was short-lived—no crematorium for her.
Failing to die, she was forcibly pinned down on the bed by that little monster, tossed around as if fighting for her life. Except for the final step, everything else that should be done was done!
And in such a variety of ways that Su Bai, a seasoned veteran who had browsed countless websites, gasped, “You can actually do that?!”
To make sure Su Bai didn’t actually die, Su Xiaohei personally stepped in, inscribing numerous life-protecting formations all over Su Bai’s jade-like body!
Time flew by, and before she knew it, three days had passed.
Today, the San Shan Sect was bustling with unprecedented excitement. Endless streams of red silk and scarlet ribbons fluttered like a river of celebration, and every corner was adorned with lanterns and decorations that seemed to dye the entire world in festive red. Passing disciples hurried along with gifts in hand, meticulously embellishing every inch of the sect.
As the host, San Shan Sect showed no trace of petty stinginess. The arrangements were lavish and grand, made to the highest standards. A certain Nascent Soul True Lord even paid out of his own pocket, gathering precious spiritual treasures from the Five Domains, sparing no expense as if using up mud and sand!
One by one, Golden Core immortals gathered here. The Foundation Establishment elders, who normally held high ranks and great power within the sect, were now no more than mere attendants at this grand event, smiling politely as they obediently managed trivial affairs in the back.
The reason for so many True Lords gathering was none other than the formidable Divine Spear—Xuan Tian True Lord—who had been the talk of the cultivation world for nearly a century!
His Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment stages passed smoothly without incident, but upon reaching Golden Core, he mastered the Nine Methods of Pill Formation, controlling the elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Creation, Destruction, Yin, Yang, and Heaven and Earth. Truly a peerless prodigy!!
Later, he entered the Outer Domain battlefield like a dragon entering the sea, a hidden dragon ascending from the depths. In less than a hundred years, he not only forged a formidable reputation through countless battles but also continuously broke through cultivation realms, ultimately achieving the rank of True Lord!
As a Nascent Soul True Lord at the peak of his fame, the news he spread this time shook the entire Immortal Alliance with shock: he was going to marry the Sect Leader of Qingyang Sect!!
And who was the Sect Leader of Qingyang?
The master who had nurtured and taught Xuan Tian True Lord!!
She had raised him from youth and guided him onto the path of cultivation—calling her a second parent or savior wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
Yet, Xuan Tian True Lord was going to marry this woman who had practically given him a new life—uh… rumor had it that before reaching Golden Core, she had practiced Qian-style cultivation but had suffered a deviation in her path, turning her into what she was now.
But that didn’t change the reality!!
In Zhongzhou, where the system of master-disciple inheritance was highly valued, Xuan Tian True Lord’s actions were considered a grave act of rebellion—an insult to his master and ancestors!
Oddly enough, the Immortal Alliance showed no reaction. No punishment was given, no reward offered—only a strange silence prevailed.
This only piqued the curiosity of the cultivators even more. The number of attendees at the ceremony swelled, even adding dozens more Golden Core immortals. And where there are crowds, countless rumors sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain.
“Hey~ did you hear? Xuan Tian True Lord is marrying the Qingyang Sect Leader.”
“Of course, everyone’s heard. Xuan Tian True Lord’s act is blasphemous, so why hasn’t the Immortal Alliance—”
“I heard a bit about it. They say Qingyang Sect Leader has a special constitution, an excellent crucible. That’s why Xuan Tian True Lord dares to defy decorum…”
As time passed, more and more cultivators came to watch. Yet the two main figures themselves did not appear, and rumors grew even wilder, including things like, “Did you know? The reason Qingyang Sect Leader took in young Xuan Tian True Lord was because he sold secrets…”
At that moment, a radiant light shot in from afar, catching everyone’s attention.
“To celebrate Xuan Tian True Lord’s wedding today, Zhang Sanhong of the Heavenly River Sect and disciple of Xuanming Heavenly Venerable sends a gift of a [Spiritual Vein] as a token of respect!”
The light stopped above the crowd, revealing a dignified Taoist.
He held a glowing orb, singing aloud as he tossed it upward.
The orb expanded with the wind, then exploded to reveal a spiritual vein, serpentine and dragon-like, emitting a long howl before suddenly burrowing into the earth beneath San Shan Sect.
In an instant, a vast and pure spiritual energy radiated outward from the spiritual vein, rippling like waves and sweeping across the entire San Shan Sect!
“Hiss! A spiritual vein! What an extravagant gift!” Someone gasped, eyes filled with shock and envy.
“No wonder it’s the Heavenly River Sect. This single spiritual vein alone is enough to build a small San Shan Sect.”
“Rumor has it Zhang True Lord of Heavenly River Sect is close friends with Qingyang Sect Leader. Facing Xuan Tian True Lord’s rebellious act, could this be a sign from the Immortal Alliance’s higher-ups?”
Ignoring the chatter, Zhang Sanhong’s expression remained calm as he transformed into a streak of light and, under the watchful eyes of many Golden Core immortals below, casually picked a spot to sit.
“Congratulations to Xuan Tian True Lord on his wedding…”
“From the Celestial Palace, Taiyin Fairy’s disciple, Du Jue, sends a gift of a hundred bottles of [Nine Yin Precious Pills], as a token of goodwill!”
A young Taoist arrived from afar, placing down the gift before casually choosing a seat.
“Heavenly Secrets Pavilion…”
Before the words were finished, another young Taoist appeared from the horizon, delivering a congratulatory gift.
“So terrifying! Such a rebellious act, and yet Heavenly River Sect, Celestial Palace, and Heavenly Secrets Pavilion all came. Don’t the top three sects here represent the Immortal…” A cultivator said in horror, his voice rising involuntarily.
“Brother Fu, watch your words!” Another cultivator hastily interrupted, scolding quietly.
Meanwhile, Su Bai was staring blankly, utterly disheartened, being fussed over by the maidservants. The gorgeous wedding clothes felt more like shackles to her.
Her eyes glazed over as she muttered nonstop, “Ungrateful disciple, little troublemaker, beast… I raised you in vain! Ahhh, I haven’t even married yet, and here I am being married off to another man.”
“When I find the right time to die, if I don’t castrate you in the next simulation, I won’t be surnamed Su anymore. I swear I’ll grind your second brother into mince!”
“What is Master muttering about?” a voice came from behind her.
Su Bai rolled her eyes. “Nothing. That little demon—I’m just casually cursing your ancestors and hoping your sons are born without anuses.”
“I never imagined Master would speak such crude words.”
A gentle applause sounded as a man signaled for the maids to withdraw. He lowered his head, pressing both hands onto her fragrant shoulders and whispered into her ear, “Then how about I get a little cruder? For example…”
“Honey~~”
Su Bai shivered violently. She looked up and met Xuan Tian True Lord’s black eyes that held a faint, unreadable smile.
