Chapter 200 Becoming a Real Couple
Chapter 200 Becoming a Real Couple
The Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan.
"Clan leader, Qingqing of the Five Elements Heavenly Kui Clan and Jiuxin of the Kunpeng Clan have already left without saying goodbye."
Liu Ziwen came to report, his face showing a complicated expression, and said angrily, "These forbidden clans are going too far!"
The daughter of the ten clans left without saying goodbye and remarried, which aroused indignation throughout the entire Qianchuanyuan clan.
"What's there to be angry about?"
Li Lan smiled and said, "We were never really husband and wife to begin with, so it's fine if he leaves."
"Sect Leader Luo Yan is worried that once this happens, the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape) will change drastically, and this time, perhaps no one in the Celestial Court can stop it..."
He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Even within the pro-war faction, some people are wavering. Should we think of a way to stabilize morale...?"
Li Lan said calmly, "No need to worry about it."
"Let them choose whether to stay or leave."
He was extremely calm.
The more people choose the path of alienation, the cleaner the immortal realm will be in the end.
Amidst the clamor and uproar in the world, Li Lan saw it as a rare and precious cleansing!
No matter who it is or what choice they make, Li Lan will only stand by and watch this time!
"Zhuiyue has come to say goodbye."
Princess Zhuiyue has arrived. Unlike the others, she is quite solemn and courteous. Looking at Li Lan, there is a complex look in her eyes. She says:
"We were husband and wife, and now we must part ways. How shameful!"
"It was only for the sake of my people that I had to do this. I hope my husband can understand the difficulties involved."
Li Lan said calmly, "Princess, there's no need for that."
"I have received much kindness from the Yuan Clan during my year here, and I have no way to repay it. Zhuiyue has left 200,000 catties of Immortal Essence as a token of my gratitude. It is mainly to express my thanks to the Yuan Clan members who have served me over the past year. Please do not take offense, young master."
She was intelligent and acted with decorum. Even when everyone thought Li Lan was useless and had lost his power, she was unwilling to directly offend him.
Compared to others who leave without saying goodbye and show no respect, he's already much better.
But the Li family said calmly, "There's no need for that."
"see a visitor out."
Princess Zhuiyue sighed, then turned and left without pressing the matter.
"Clan leader, Bai Ruoling of the White Tiger Clan and Jin Muyun of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan, they haven't left..."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Didn't anyone from either of these clans come to pick us up?"
Liu Ziwen said, "They've arrived, but Jin Muyun told the people from the Golden-Winged Roc clan that she is focused on pursuing the ultimate in cultivation and will not leave the Thousand Rivers Land. She told the Golden-Winged Roc clan to find someone else to marry, as she will not remarry."
"Bai Ruoling didn't even see anyone from the White Tiger Clan. She even instructed me, in her capacity as the mistress, to activate the formation and blast them away if they came..."
When Bai Ruoling was mentioned, Liu Ziwen was both amused and exasperated. He was completely bewildered when he received Bai Ruoling's orders.
Of the ten Heavenly Maidens, did any of them truly consider themselves members of the Abyss Clan? No one!
But Bai Ruoling actually said fiercely that she was the mistress and demanded that a great formation be activated to bombard the White Tiger Clan...
Li Lan was stunned.
He was indeed quite surprised.
It's understandable that Jin Muyun is single-mindedly pursuing the Dao. She knows that Li Lan possesses the extremely forbidden techniques of the White Tiger Clan, so it's normal that she doesn't want to leave. But Bai Ruoling, this little tiger, is not quite right.
"I gonna go see."
Li Lan immediately stood up.
Before long, he arrived at Jin Muyun's residence—Lingyun Peak.
On Lingyun Peak, the power of immortals roamed freely, and powerful and domineering offensive techniques erupted continuously. Jin Muyun was practicing diligently without any distractions.
"It has an abundance of domineering presence, but lacks tact and diplomacy."
Li Lan observed for a long time before offering her comments in a calm manner.
How to reconcile shortcomings?
Jin Muyun, dressed in a golden outfit, showed off her tall figure like a Valkyrie as she turned to look at him.
Li Lan raised his hand, and the power of immortality circulated in his hand. He struck out with a palm towards her, but Jin Muyun let out a delicate shout and tried her best to block it. Two huge golden wings appeared behind her, and layers of magic power were stacked on top of each other. The power of Li Lan's palm strike was almost completely blocked.
"Ok?"
But at that moment, she felt a portion of Li Lan's palm force gently pat her chest.
He seemed to be able to pass through his own magical barriers and obstacles.
She was somewhat surprised and said, "You... you're already at the highest level of forbidden power!"
"The so-called harmony is formless, without form or substance, following one's heart, free and unrestrained."
Li Lan said something indifferently, and Jin Muyun immediately showed a thoughtful expression. Her cultivation level had already reached a certain level, and upon hearing this, she immediately understood the key point and showed a look of sudden realization!
"Yes, it is formless and intangible, and can do whatever it wants..."
Thank you!
She solemnly thanked Li Lan.
Why don't you leave?
Li Lan then asked a question.
"I promised you that I would master the method of guiding others to enlightenment in a year."
She said calmly, "It's not only you humans who value trust and promises. Besides, I, Jin Muyun, am not a commodity that can be traded repeatedly. Now that I've married you, I will never marry anyone else in this life."
Li Lan looked at her and said:
"This is the ancestral bone of your Golden-Winged Roc clan, and its mark still remains. You should be able to obtain what you desire."
A flash of light appeared in his storage ring, and an ancient, grayish-white skeleton flew towards Jin Muyun. Jin Muyun caught it, sensed it, and was instantly shocked.
"It really is the ancestral bone of my clan..."
There was a complex look in her eyes; she deeply understood the immense value of this thing.
It can become the most important foundation of the Golden-Winged Roc clan!
“The Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan is no longer of any value. If you stay, you might face life-or-death danger one day. Besides, we are only a fake couple. There is no need for you to waste your life on those empty promises.”
Li Lan spoke calmly.
But Jin Muyun was silent for a moment, just a moment, then suddenly turned around and said, "Then let's become a real couple."
"You may come to Lingyun Peak tonight."
After saying that, she stubbornly left, not giving Li Lan a chance to answer.
Li Lan was taken aback for a moment. What did she mean by that...?
Can Li Lan come to Lingyun Peak tonight... and become her real husband and wife?
Li Lan felt a little complicated. He had only intended to test people's hearts, but he hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered!
……
Upon reaching White Tiger Peak, the view was even more different.
The entire mountain peak was covered with beautiful flowers and plants, all meticulously tended. Bai Ruoling was directing her maids to prune the flowers and other plants. Li Lan, somewhat puzzled, asked, "What are you doing?"
"doing what?"
Upon seeing his arrival, Bai Ruoling said matter-of-factly, "Is it wrong for me to renovate my place to the way I want it to be?"
"Let me tell you, I planted all the flowers and plants here myself, and I also renovated these houses... You, you can forget about kicking me out!!"
She glared at Li Lan angrily, like a little tiger baring its teeth and claws.
Li Lan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why would I send you away?"
Bai Ruoling said, "I have now severed all ties with the White Tiger Clan and am no longer their Heavenly Maiden. To your Thousand Rivers Abyss Clan, I offer no benefit whatsoever. You will surely despise me..."
She looked somewhat sad as she spoke, biting her lower lip, on the verge of tears!
Li Lan was somewhat shocked by her thought process!
"I don't care anyway. Now that they're all gone, I'm your only lawfully wedded wife. Even if you want to divorce me, I won't agree. Hmph, I've learned your human customs and etiquette. If I don't make a mistake... you, you can't divorce me!"
She seemed confident and self-assured, but the unease and anxiety in her eyes betrayed her.
Li Lan couldn't help but recall Princess Zhuiyue's previous assessment of Bai Ruoling... "Love-obsessed."
When Li Lan married the goddesses of the ten clans, she was the only one who volunteered to marry into the clan...
Li Lan couldn't help but sigh, reached out and touched her hair, and said, "I won't send you away."
"From now on, Qianchuanyuan Clan, you can stay as long as you want. Treat this place as your home."
Bai Ruoling was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly realized what she meant, grabbed Li Lan's hand, and said, "You, you, you're serious? You said it!"
Li Lan smiled: "I really mean it."
"Ahhh, this is great! This is so great!"
She was so happy she almost spun around. Ever since she received the news from her clan, she had been anxious and worried, fearing that she would be forcibly taken back by her clan. So she refused to see any of her clansmen and even asked Liu Ziwen to use a large formation to bombard the White Tiger clan.
However, her biggest worry was Li Lan.
If Li Lan really wants her to leave...
"As long as you don't kick me out, I... I can temporarily take the position of concubine. Hmm, I can accept Sister Shangguan. She's such a kind person, she definitely won't mind me..."
She spoke incoherently, which was utterly shocking.
Li Lan couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "You should focus on cultivating the Guiding Technique and stop having all these wild thoughts!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Bai Ruoling was overjoyed: "Starting today, I will go into seclusion every day to cultivate the Guiding Technique. I will accompany you to save the world!"
Li Lan sighed and said, "Come with me."
He led Bai Ruoling into the secluded cultivation area of Baidi Peak and said, "From now on, you will cultivate here."
The main problem is that Bai Ruoling's cultivation progress is really too slow. This love-struck fool spends all her time planting plants and flowers. Li Lan was hoping to use her to travel the Ancient Path of Time again.
It's good to have Longbao watch over her!
"Is this the place where the White Emperor cultivated?"
Bai Ruoling was extremely excited. My God, he actually brought her to a place like this... Did this mean she had finally gained his approval? Did he have feelings for her? Her face flushed red and her heart raced.
Seeing her appearance, Li Lan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, so he said, "I forgot to tell you, it's not just you who's staying, Jin Muyun is too."
"If she had mastered the Guiding Technique before you... she would have been the third concubine, and you could only be the fourth concubine!"
Li Lan unleashes her ultimate move!
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoling was immediately stunned and said, "Ah, what's she doing staying here? It's so annoying!"
"Also, why are she and I only the third and fourth? There are two others before us? You, besides Sister Shangguan, who else do you have?"
She stared at Li Lan with her big eyes, her expression full of gossip and concern.
Li Lan: "..."
……
A few days later.
"Here comes Old Sun!"
Sun Wukong, the Stone Man Clan's Pilgrim, has arrived!
"I heard your summoning technique failed? No problem. Do you want to storm the Heavenly Palace or wipe out the Ten Forbidden Clans? I'll accompany you!"
Upon meeting, Sun Wukong spoke with boundless pride.
In his view, Li Lan had truly suffered a great injustice this time, and he wanted to stand up for her.
Li Lan shook his head and smiled, saying, "Neither. I want to go to the ancestral land of the Stone People."
……
Celestial Court.
“Master, the celestial maidens of the Xuanwu, Five Elements Tiankui, and Primordial Heavenly Wolf clans have left the Thousand Rivers Land as you requested and entered into marriage agreements with the ten great human clans.”
Gu Ling came to report: "It seems that the celestial maidens of the White Tiger Clan and the Golden-Winged Roc Clan have developed genuine feelings for Li Lan and have not left. The two clans have no choice but to find other core women within their clans to marry into the human race."
Upon hearing this, Xun Yuan Tianjun nodded and said, "Very good."
"Furthermore, with all the forces of the Immortal Realm gathered here, the number of people who come to pay their respects to you every day is countless, and the visiting cards are piling up like mountains. There are just too many people who want to participate in the great trend of mutation..."
Xun Yuan Tianjun smiled and said, "I'll leave these matters to you. I need to leave for a while."
"The situation is settled, and I can now go and see my master."
Gu Ling couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, where exactly is Grandmaster?"
The Supreme Immortal Emperor has not shown his face for over a thousand years.
"In the ancestral land of the Stone People, he is following a senior to comprehend the Dao."
Xun Yuan Tianjun did not hide anything.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ling was immediately taken aback. The Supreme Immortal Emperor... comprehended the Dao with a senior?
Is he an existence even stronger than the Supreme Immortal Emperor?
How could there be beings of this caliber in the celestial realm?
