Chapter 402 – Get engaged today, get married tomorrow

In the Hall of the God King, Chai Yundu took his seat, surrounded by tall and short golden deities, with two ancient golden deities among them.

As for the elders of the Chai family and other high-level members, they were seated on both sides, with solemn expressions.

Su Yun bowed and asked to take a seat, but Lou Ban shook his head and said, "I am already dead. You are the current head of the pavilion and can represent Yuanshuo even better."

He sat down on the lower left side.

Su Yun nodded slightly and took his seat.

Lou Ban looked expressionlessly at the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan, who could only sit on the lower right side.

This time, facing the God King Chai Yundu and the powerful figures of the Imperial Seat Cave, the seating arrangement was not arbitrary. It had to be determined according to rank. Lou Ban's concession was meant to enhance Su Yun's reputation and make him the representative of the Tian Shiyuan and Yuanshuo worlds.

And his seating position below Su Yun meant that his status was one level lower than Su Yun's, willing to be a stepping stone for Su Yun.

At the same time, he could also pull down the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan, making him one level lower than Su Yun.

As for Luo Wanyi and other members of the Tongtian Pavilion, they only had the right to line up on both sides and did not have the right to sit.

The Chai family elders and Chai Xirong and others came forward one after another, whispering to the God King Chai Yundu about their experiences during this time, focusing on Su Yun's young age and his achievement of turning the Dao Field into a halo behind his head, as well as defeating Chai Qingge, a rising star of the Chai family, with a single move.

The God King Chai Yundu's eyes flickered as he kept looking at Su Yun, nodding gently.

After a moment, the God King Chai Yundu said politely, "I didn't expect that Lord Su is also a descendant of the first generation of immortals with such a high bloodline. No wonder the Imperial Court has appointed you to come and negotiate with my Imperial Seat Cave."

Under Su Yun's seat, the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan looked puzzled. "How did this kid become a descendant of the first generation of immortals? When did this happen?"

Luo Wanyi was also astonished.

She had dealt with Su Yun many times, but had never thought about his bloodline.

Su Yun was also puzzled, but from the words and actions of the Chai family, he could see that they valued bloodlines. The higher the bloodline, the more respected one was, and the higher the status, the more resources one could control.

From Yuanshuo and Xitu, it was often the bloodline that determined the resources and future achievements. The children of influential families indeed had a better background and higher achievements. It was difficult for ordinary people to stand out.

The God King Chai Yundu smiled and said, "If Lord Su can marry into our family, it would be a win-win situation for the Imperial Court and the Imperial Seat, avoiding war."

With these words, not only Su Yun was stunned, but Lou Ban, Yu Daoyuan, and Luo Wanyi were also stunned. Even the Chai family, including the golden deities, spirits, and other high-level members, were all stunned.

Even the Lingxi, who was currently in Su Yun's spiritual realm and had been disdainful of the filthiness of Su Yun's spiritual realm, was also stunned at this moment.

The sudden change in the God King Chai Yundu's thinking and the speed of his transformation were truly unexpected!

Just now, they were worried that the God King Chai Yundu would definitely start a war and swallow up Tian Shiyuan and Yuanshuo.

After all, Chai Yundu had long harbored the intention of annexing the Imperial Court. This time, the two worlds were testing each other, and Chai Yundu had attacked the Yuanshuo world with the Elemental Magnetic Divine Light from outside the world, causing countless deaths and injuries among the common people. And Su Yun had killed Chai Yundu and taken away the ancestral treasure of the Chai family.

This was clearly an irreconcilable enemy. If it weren't for the fact that the fictitious Emperor of Tian Shiyuan could still threaten Chai Yundu, Chai Yundu would have probably already ruthlessly exterminated them!

How did it suddenly jump to the matter of marriage between the two worlds?

The God King Chai Yundu took in Su Yun's expression, smiled slightly, and said, "My Chai family is of the bloodline of the immortals, with an extremely high bloodline. I am of the first generation. Unfortunately, although I am a descendant of the first generation of exiled immortals, in order to pass down the bloodline of the immortals, I must marry a mortal. This is the tragedy of our first generation."

Su Yun's heart stirred, and he understood his meaning to some extent.

"Although later on, there were men and women among my descendants who could reproduce, the bloodline had already been diluted to a great extent. Now, my Chai family has even given birth to the bloodline of commoners."

Chai Yundu sighed, somewhat helpless, and said, "Now that I am already dead, if I were still alive, I could have had a few more descendants to elevate the bloodline. The only way for my Chai family to elevate the bloodline now is through marriage, by marrying a descendant of the first generation of immortals."

Su Yun was dumbfounded.

The God Emperor Yu Daoyuan suddenly felt a sour taste welling up from somewhere, thinking to himself, "This kid's luck is too good, isn't it? Even the God King Chai Yundu has set his sights on him and wants to take him as a son-in-law! Back then, I only had a fling with Pan Yang, and I was still secretly plotted against by Yu Jin..."

Lou Ban coughed softly and said cautiously, "Lord Su, when two tigers fight, one will be injured. Therefore, marriage is a common occurrence for two evenly matched forces."

Su Yun understood his meaning. Marriages between influential families were common in both Yuanshuo and Xitu. Besides avoiding conflicts, the marriage of influential families could also jointly resist external enemies.

However...

"Why should I sell myself out?"

The young man from Tian Shiyuan was quite resentful. "Forcing me to sacrifice my body for peace is an insult to me!"

However, he was helpless.

"I can only bear it myself."

He quickly convinced himself, sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but think of the pure-hearted Xiao Yao, the knowledgeable Yu Qingluo, the witch Wu Tong who made people hate her, and Luo Wanyi.

The young man's face couldn't help but darken.

In the spiritual realm, Lingxi was quite uneasy and tried to escape, but Ying Ying quickly comforted her, "It's not impurity, it's just the agitation caused by the development of the body... Not that kind of agitation, but this kind of agitation. The meaning is different... Yes, it's just pure lust!"

Lou Ban smiled at the God King Chai Yundu and said, "The marriage of the two families to avoid war between the two worlds is indeed a double blessing and a win-win situation."

Chai Yundu smiled and said, "My physical body is dead, and my spirit is without support. I am worried that my Chai family's bloodline will decline as a result. I have no choice but to resort to this last resort. I wonder if Lord Su is willing to resolve this conflict?"Su Yun's face showed difficulty as he thought of Chi Xiaoyao, Wu Tong, and others.

God Lord Chai Yundu, understanding the situation, smiled and said, "Su Pavilion Master is an extraordinary young man, naturally attracting many admirers, and perhaps there are those he fancies. However, my Chai family is the descendant of immortals, and in terms of beauty, we may not necessarily be inferior to the beauties of other races. Bring forth Chai Chuxi to the hall."

One of the four elders of the Chai family, Chai Yi, agreed and bowed before exiting the hall.

Chai Yundu continued with a smile, "Chuxi is the holy maiden of our clan, ranking second in terms of cultivation strength among the younger generation. In our Chai family, some descendants are tainted by the blood of commoners, but there are also those born with an extremely pure lineage of immortals. Chuxi is one of the outstanding ones, her lineage tracing back to the second generation."

Su Yun remained silent, his gaze constantly drifting towards the entrance of the Divine King's Hall.

In the realm of spirits, Ying Ying could no longer bear it and was about to flee. She hurriedly advised, "...what an old lecher. Yes, looking at the pot while eating from the bowl, but that's not the way to put it, he hasn't tasted it yet... Don't leave yet, it's not dirty!"

As she spoke, Chai Yi's voice came from the entrance of the Divine King's Hall, "God Lord, Chuxi has arrived."

Everyone turned to look, and a young girl entered. Her figure and appearance, bathed in the divine light of the hall, seemed to be enveloped in a layer of hazy sacred light, pure and inviolable.

Yet her figure was so enchantingly beautiful, as if it encompassed all the beauty of the women in the world.

Upon seeing her, Su Yun felt as if he had been struck by Master Lingyue's thunder, his heart racing and his blood boiling, with ancient poems and verses describing women flooding his mind, yet none seemed capable of capturing the beauty of this woman named Chai Chuxi.

Ying Ying quickly warned, "Scholar, be careful of deceit! What if this woman is a master of spatial distortion?"

Su Yun's heart grew cautious, scrutinizing her closely, but he saw no twisted space around Chai Chuxi.

The young girl gracefully approached, paying her respects to God Lord Chai Yundu, then to the golden ancient god Chai Keji, the golden spirit gods, and the high-ranking members of the Chai family, her demeanor neither humble nor arrogant, but naturally graceful.

Chai Yundu nodded and smiled, "Su Pavilion Master, this is Chuxi, the pearl of the Chai family! She won't disappoint you, right? If our two families were to be united in marriage, two realms would become one, and there would be no more disputes. What do you think?"

Lou Ban laughed, "I think this marriage is good. Yu Daoyuan, what do you think?"

Yu Daoyuan snorted and said dryly, "I'll follow the old Pavilion Master's wishes, it's fine."

Su Yun's gaze fell on Chai Chuxi, unblinking, and he hesitated, "I'm just afraid Miss Chuxi might not be willing..."

Chai Yundu laughed heartily, "Chuxi, I've chosen a good husband for you, are you willing?"

Chai Chuxi bowed her head slightly, with a modest bow, "How could Chuxi dare to be unwilling when the ancestor chooses a spouse for me?"

Chai Yundu smiled, "She's willing, Su Pavilion Master, you can rest assured now, right? It's better to choose a date than to collide with one, since all the elders are here today, let's settle the marriage, and tomorrow you shall marry, and tomorrow night enter the bridal chamber!"

Su Yun was startled, "God Lord, isn't that too fast?"

"Not fast, not fast at all."

God Lord Chai Yundu smiled, "After you have children, the first son must carry the Chai surname, belonging to my Chai family. The second and third, I won't mind."

He waved his sleeve, "Alright, alright, on this joyous day, shouldn't you all be preparing?"

Everyone dispersed, busying themselves with preparations, hanging lanterns and decorations for the wedding ceremony the next day.

Su Yun felt dazed, surrounded by the young men of the Chai family, who called him 'son-in-law' amidst the lively atmosphere.

All of this seemed bizarre, yet he was indeed about to be married.

"I'm only fifteen years old..." The young man squinted his eyes, while the young men of the Chai family continued their clamor around him.

Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down, the Chai family's young men stepped back, and Su Yun looked up to see Chai Chuxi approaching.

Su Yun smiled, about to speak, when Chai Chuxi came to his side and said indifferently, "My heart is only for the path of immortality, nothing else. I agreed to marry you at the behest of my ancestor, but while marriage is acceptable, you cannot touch me."

Su Yun smiled, about to reply, when Ying Ying burst out, scoffing, "Your heart is not what the scholar desires, but your body, the scholar must have. Isn't that right, scholar?"

Su Yun smiled without answering.

Chai Chuxi turned her head slightly, whispering, "I am different from the others in my clan, my bridal chamber is the thunder pond." With that, she walked forward.

Ying Ying trembled with excitement, hugging Su Yun's head and shaking it vigorously, "Scholar, I really like this girl! Tomorrow night, let's storm her thunder pond!"

Su Yun's head spun from the shaking, and he quickly agreed.
