“Chu Feng, the family has given you a good life and protected you for so long. Surely you are not the kind of person who would be ungrateful, right?”
“Besides, marrying Ji Rui is not an ordeal by fire. If you just look at our city, you can tell how many people are trying to find means and ways to replace you..”
The head of the family, Chu Lie, had almost talked himself hoarse.
At this moment, both the honor and disgrace of the Chu family were tied to Chu Feng alone. Only if he was willing to marry Ji Rui could the Chu family welcome a turning point in their predicament.
If the Chu family could obtain the protection of the Dual Polarity Sect, no one would dare to have any designs on them anymore!
Aye!
Chu Feng lowered his eyes, thinking that his father was not wrong in saying all that.
Ever since I was young, I had been living an extravagant life in the Chu family and my family had never treated me harshly. Now that the Chu family was in trouble, I couldn’t really ignore it, right?
In Chu Feng’s mind, he could not help but think of the historical dramas on television where the princess was sent off for a royal intermarriage in order for two countries to form an alliance. However, this was just forcefully tying together two people who did not love each other.
However, one had very little free will in life.
When the Chu family members saw that Chu Feng’s determined expression had loosened a little, their eyes immediately lit up and they patiently urged him on again.
“Chu Feng, do you still remember a joke you made when you were three years old?”
Chu Feng was stunned and asked curiously, “Three years old? How can I remember what I said at such a young age?”
“Hehe, you may not have any recollections,, but I remember it very clearly. At that time, you said that a woman at three years old hugs a golden brick; a woman at 30 years old gives a kingdom; a woman at 300 years old gives the elixir of life; a woman at 3,000 years old ranks among immortals.”
“What? Did I really say those words..”
Chu Feng was instantly petrified on the spot. After thinking back carefully, it seemed to be a joke he had made to Er Ya next door! How did it reach the ears of the Chu family?
Now the Chu family must think that he is a materialistic man. Is it too late for him to explain himself now..
A woman of 3,000 years old ranks among immortals, I certainly didn’t expect this to be so spot-on!
I can’t hold it in any longer!
Chu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood.
“You said it yourself. How could it be false?”
Chu Lie stroked his beard and smiled.
There was a sudden buzzing in Chu Feng’s head.
“I don’t have any other intentions towards you even though you’re entering the Ji family three days later, so you can rest assured.”
“I sent the betrothal gift to the Chu family just to fulfill my father’s wish to see me start a family. In the future, if you’re unwilling to stay, you can naturally leave.”
“If you agree to the proposal, I promise to protect the Chu family for generations to come!”
Chu Feng was almost frightened badly upon suddenly hearing this cold voice.
However, the domineering tone in Ji Rui’s voice made his heart surge.
Protect the Chu family for generations to come.. What a promise!
He does not expect the Sect Master of the Dual Polarity Sect to be so tough and straightforward.
However, the Dual Polarity Sect is thousands of miles away from the Chu family. Why cand I hear her so clearly?
Exactly how strong is Ji Rui’s cultivation?
Chu Feng pursed his lips and looked up at the vast sky.
“In that case, I agree. You can’t go back on your word.”
“Yes, I promise you.”
After Ji Rui said this, Chu Feng did not hear her voice again.
I agreed..
When the Chu family members heard these words from Chu Feng who was in a trance, they immediately burst into an uproar.
“Men, immediately make arrangements. In three days, Chu Feng will marry into the Dual Polarity Sect!”
“Sure thing!”
Accompanied by cheers, the Chu family members went to work with smiles on their faces.
Chu Lie heaved a sigh of relief. At least in the next 1,000 years, the Chu family would not have to be afraid of other sects.
“Ding dong..”
What is that sound?
“The Divine-level son-in-law system is sensing the host..”
It’s the system, the system that is 18 years late!
“Ding-dong. Congratulations to the host, you have been bound to the divine-level son-in-law system. You have to complete the check-in mission every day from now on!”
“Of all times, why did you have to come now? You made me wait so long! Wait, what the hell is your name? Divine-level son-in-law system?”
Chu Feng almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
Never mind, it does not matter. Having a system is better than nothing, right?
“Check me in!”
“Beep, beep——check-in failed.”
The system jangled.
“How did the check-in fail?”
Chu Feng froze in place.
“The host can only check in after you marry Ji Rui!”
“What the!”
What kind of lousy system is this? It is actually an out-and-out freeloader system?
The Dual Polarity Sect.
Being flanked by mountains on both sides, the Dual Polarity Sect was said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. This was also one of the reasons why it could stand tall in the Divine Continent.
The Dual Polarity Sect occupied an area of about 200,000 hectares. There was no sect in the entire Divine Continent that was larger. The building structure had steps made of beautiful jade and beams made of rosewood, and it was constructed out of top-grade glazed tiles. Being situated among the clouds, one could vaguely catch a glimpse of its magnificence where the clouds parted.
Three days ago, news came from the Chu family that they were going to marry off their youngest son. Today, the Dual Polarity Sect was decorated meticulously and the entire house of the Dual Polarity Sect was dressed up in red.
As early as three days ago, the news that Chu Feng was going to marry the sect master of the Dual Polarity Sect, Ji Rui, had spread throughout the entire Divine Continent.
The entire Divine Continent was discussing this matter. When the heads of all the sects heard this news, they all used their Divine Techniques to shrink the ground into inches and came to the Dual Polarity Sect to investigate the truth of the matter.
Even the old monsters who were in seclusion came to watch the ceremony..
“Report! The sect master of the Fire Cloud Sect, Hu Fu, is here!”
“Report! The sect master of the Boundless Sect, San Si, is here!”
“Report! The sect master of the Qingyun Sect, Miao Yuan, has arrived..”
..
Three streaks of light came from as far as the eye could see and landed on the mountain peak. At this moment, the two mountain peaks of the Dual Polarity Sect were covered with red carpets. Looking closely, it turned out that three old monsters who came out of seclusion had landed on them.
“So you guys are here.. Cough, cough..”
When the old sect master of the Dual Polarity Sect, Ji Zheng, saw those shadows, he could not hide his surprise and there was curiosity in his eyes.
Hu Fu, San Si and Miao Yuan were all-powerful figures who commanded the world back in the days. They were also old fellows around his age.
However.. no one expected that the old sect master, Ji Zheng, who could cover the sky with one hand in the past, would suffer a backlash and damage his foundation because he was in a hurry to break through the bottleneck of the Martial Emperor realm..
These three sects were originally competing with the Dual Polarity Sect and always balancing and restricting one another. For many years, they had never been close. It could even be said that there were always surging undercurrents in their relationships.
“Why did these sect masters descend on our Dual Polarity Sect together? Could it be that they have other intentions?”
Ji Rui frowned, her eyes showing unhappiness.
Ji Rui had long changed into a custom-made red robe with dragon patterns embroidered in gold thread. She had a small oval face, beautiful almond eyes and delicate skin. She was also much taller than ordinary women. At a glance, one could not take their eyes off her.
