EBE Chapter 627 Marriage
Chapter 627 Marriage
Despite his inner shock, Qingyuan Zhenjun remained outwardly calm and smiled slightly: "Could it be that the Demon Emperor has not yet received the invitation? Nephew Jiang has already made a marriage agreement with Sword Sect True Monarch Chonghua, and the marriage ceremony will be held soon."
Hu Xueji giggled, "As the saying goes, 'A family with a daughter will have a hundred suitors.' Jiang Xianzi is not yet married. Why don't we invite Jiang Xianzi out and ask her opinion?"
Qingyuan Zhenjun smiled and said, "Our human race also values the order of parents and the words of matchmakers. The marriage between Junior Nephew Jiang and Chonghua Zhenjun was arranged by their respective masters. An auspicious date has been set and invitations have been sent out widely. There is absolutely no reason for them to break off the engagement."
Hu Xueji smiled sweetly: "Is that so? I heard that the Sword Sect's initial choice of a Daoist partner for True Monarch Chonghua was not Fairy Jiang?"
"That's not true! Rumors circulating in the streets are unreliable."
Qingyuan Zhenjun laughed and said, "Junior Nephew Jiang and Chonghua Zhenjun met when they were training in the mortal realm. They fell in love and became husband and wife in the mortal realm. Now that they have rekindled their love, it is a wonderful story. Please invite the Demon Emperor and Senior Fox to come and have a drink at their wedding."
Hu Xueji's expression changed slightly: "Our clan's emperor is marrying Fairy Jiang with the title of Demon Queen. Isn't it more beneficial for your sect to form a marriage alliance with the demon race than with the Sword Sect? Sect Leader Qingyuan should think twice before acting!"
Qingyuan Zhenjun smiled slightly: "Junior Nephew Jiang is young and has low cultivation. He is not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Demon Queen. Please ask Elder Fox to report to the Demon Emperor and ask him to find another suitable match."
Seeing that he was unmoved by her words, Hu Xueji's expression changed abruptly: "I am only responsible for presenting the betrothal gifts. You, Sect Leader Qingyuan, can go and discuss these matters with the Demon Emperor yourself."
At her command, the servants stepped forward and placed the treasure boxes in front of the mountain, piling them up into a small hill.
The disciples who had crowded in front of the mountain gate to watch the excitement were all shocked when they saw the small mountain that was shining with precious light. The demon race had really made a grand gesture!
Just then, someone chuckled softly: "Is the Demon Emperor planning to force a marriage?"
The sound wasn't loud, but to the demon servants it was like thunder, knocking them to the ground one by one, blood spilling from their mouths and noses.
Hu Xueji narrowed her long eyes and saw a kind-faced old man with a ruddy complexion slowly walking down from the clouds.
“Venerable Bisong!” Hu Xueji’s expression changed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, how have you been?"
Venerable Bisong laughed heartily, "It's been a long time. Fellow Daoist Hu still has such a temper."
Hu Xueji was secretly alarmed. The Demon Emperor had only ordered her to come and offer betrothal gifts, without telling her the specific reasons.
It seems that the female disciple the Demon Emperor is going to marry must be exceptionally talented, as even an old ancestor like Venerable Bisong, who has long since retired from worldly affairs, has come out!
Hu Xueji said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Bisong, if the Beast Taming Sect and my Demon Clan form a marriage alliance, my Emperor promises that the Demon Clan will open the Demon Realm to the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect."
"The Mysterious Realm of Demon Realm?"
The disciples watching gasped, and even Sect Leader Qingyuan was slightly moved.
A junior disciple whispered to his senior brother beside him, "The Demon Realm Mystic Realm? Is it some kind of extraordinary place?"
His senior brother told him, "The Demon Realm is where the Demon Emperor's palace is located, which is equivalent to an imperial city. Ordinary demons are not allowed to enter! I've heard that it's full of rare treasures. More importantly, only noble children of the demon race can enter the Demon Realm!"
The young disciple opened his eyes wide. The noble demon race were all ancient species passed down from ancient times, such as the dragon race, the phoenix race, the qilin, the black tortoise, the bifang, the nine-tailed fox, and so on.
The Demon Realm, which only nobles of the demon race can enter, must be teeming with rare birds and exotic beasts.
After disciples of the Beast Taming Sect reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they all begin to search for their own natal spirit pet. Who wouldn't want a rare and exotic beast?
It would be even better if it were a mythical beast!
The quality of a disciple's destined spirit pet determines their minimum potential and their maximum potential.
Mingxuan Zhenjun originally wanted to find a little phoenix for Jiang Li so that she could possess the phoenix's rebirth power, which would be equivalent to having an immortal body.
I never expected she would actually get a blue dragon!
As the king of divine beasts, dragons have lifespans of thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Jiang Li has formed a life-bound contract with a dragon, so she can also live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, the dragon's formidable fighting power is unmatched by any other mythical beast.
The meaning of the demon race opening up the Demon Realm to the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect is self-evident.
Even Qingyuan Zhenjun felt that if he were a woman, he would definitely try to win the position of Demon Queen!
Venerable Bisong remained unmoved: "Jiang Li is my grand-disciple, there's no need to mention this matter again. Fellow Daoist Hu, please return."
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Hu Xueji sneered and stopped pressing the matter, waving her hand: "Let's go!"
The servants then took the treasure box and left as before.
Venerable Bisong stood on a cloud, his brows furrowed.
Qingyuan Zhenjun stepped forward: "Senior Uncle..."
The Venerable Bisong looked worried: "I'm afraid the Demon Emperor already knows that Xiao Lili is a flawless spirit."
Jiang Li's physique was a secret within the Beast Taming Sect, known only to the sect's elders.
A flawless spiritual body is a great tonic for the demon race, and an even rarer cultivation partner for the human race.
Once this secret is exposed, the threshold of the Beast Taming Sect will surely be flattened by suitors, and it might even cause a bloodbath!
The reason why Venerable Bisong agreed to let her become Daoist partners with True Lord Chonghua at an early age was so that True Lord Chonghua, who knew the truth, could protect her and let her grow up safely.
Once that little green dragon grows up, Jiang Li will basically be able to do whatever she wants in the Tianyan Realm.
Qingyuan Zhenjun also frowned and said, "According to what Chonghua said that day, his junior sister was always accompanied by the Soul-Seizing Insects when she was in the small world, so she must have known about it."
Needless to say, it was that female cultivator who informed the Demon Emperor!
"Now that the Demon Emperor has learned of this, things will not end well. We should inform the Purple Sun Sword Master as soon as possible."
"Yes," Sect Leader Qingyuan replied.
Venerable Bisong then sent a message to True Lord Mingxuan, instructing him to bring Jiang Li to the Cloud Recesses.
Before the grand ceremony of marriage registration, Xiao Lili should stay quietly in the forbidden area, so that she can keep her natal spirit pet company.
Upon learning of this, Xie Chang'an felt a mixture of anger, guilt, and profound helplessness.
His rivals in love, whether in the small world or the upper realm, remain as numerous as ever!
Little Tanuki has lost all its memories from before!
Will she firmly choose him?
Xie Chang'an took out a communication jade talisman and contacted Jiang Li.
"Little Tanuki, are you there?"
Jiang Li was in the Dragon Palace with Dan Dan, touching his little horns and pinching his little chubby hands, having a great time.
Upon hearing Xie Chang'an's voice, she happily opened the communication jade talisman.
"Senior Brother Chang'an, guess where I am right now?"
Xie Chang'an laughed and said, "In your Dragon Palace?"
He was a little surprised. Could it be that she didn't know about the Demon Emperor?
"Yes, yes! My master told me to spend more time with Egg so he can wake up sooner, so I'll be staying in the Dragon Palace for a while!"
Sure enough, Xie Chang'an thought to himself.
Presumably, her elders did not want to cause any trouble before the ceremony, so they did not tell her the truth and simply hid her in the forbidden area.
He thought about it and decided to tell the truth.
