Chapter 1505 - A Proposal
âYe-zi!â This had come out of the blue, so even the Great Sage was blushing in a rare display of embarrassment.
The other Zi Clansmensâ eyes widened in shock and confusion. Only then did they notice that Zi Xia and the Great Sage were wearing matching clothes.
Ye Zichen tittered and, without any regard for his friendâs embarrassment, he turned to the Zi Family Head. âPerhaps most of you donât recognize him, but you ought to have seen that this shy fella is my good brother. Donât let his bashfulness fool you; as I said earlier, he is indeed a divine sovereign-level expert. Wait, thatâs not right: in the Yao Realm, you donât say âimperial-levelâ, do you? Based on how you rank experts in the Yao Realm, I ought to call him a âYao King.ââ
The gathered Zi clansmen were too shocked to even speak!
In the Yao Realm, even the kings of the four kingdoms had to treat an expert on that level with respect. In Jadewave City, even diviners were considered experts. There were less than three rulers in the entire city!
A Yao King!
They didnât even dare imagine it!
To their surprise, the Fairy Zi Xiaâs face reddened too. She stood shyly by the Great Sageâs side, too embarrassed to even meet her familyâs gazes.
Ye Zichen, meanwhile, had made up his mind. If he was going to play the good guy, heâd see it through until the end.
âMy bro and Fairy Zi Xiaâs love is mutual, and although theyâve run into obstacles along the way, theyâve long since given each other their hearts. Senior, having an imperial sovereign for a son-in-law makes you look quite good too, doesnât it? Donât you think my good bro is a far better choice than the son of that city lord?â
A Yao-King son-in-law? Nevermind their Zi Family; even Jadewave Cityâs city lord wouldnât dare imagine such a thing.
The Zi Family head couldnât deny it; the Great Sageâs cultivation left him stunned. But he soon recovered his senses, then sighed. âI see. Zi Yun, this is the âSupreme Treasureâ you told me about, isnât it?â
âThatâs right, Father.â Zi Yun nodded.
âIâm the one who interfered in my daughterâs happiness,â said the family head, his eyes filled with bitterness. âI wonât lie to you, either: keeping Zi Xia and Supreme Treasure apart was always my idea, and Zi Yun did it at my orders. In private, however, he tried to convince me to relent more than once. I always refused.â
âFather.â Zi Yun knit his brows.
âZi Xia, Zi Yun, donât let my mistakes ruin your relationship. The future belongs to the young.â The family head smiled.
âBrotherâŠâ Zi Xiaâs eyes brightened, and she turned to look at her brother.
At the same time, the Zi Family head grimaced, then turned to face the Great Sage. âYou donât blame me, do you?â
âFor you to put it like that says your heart contains resentment. But thatâs fine; I can understand why.â The head of the Zi Family let out a long sigh.
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense. Ye Zichen was inwardly frantic.
I canât let them go on like this!
âWhy bring up all that? Why fuss about a happy ending? Allâs well so long as this ends well.â Ye Zichen laughed, then pointedly changed the subject. âI trust that you are a doting father, but that there is a heavy burden on your shoulders, and you acted on behalf of your clan. Itâs inevitable, and understandable, that a man in your shoes would have to make hard choices. But now, youâre in the God Realm, and you donât need to fear for your clanâs future. The burden on your shoulders has lightened, so I trust you wonât interfere in Zi Xiaâs love life any longer, yeah?â
âIndeed.â Zi Xiaâs father let out a hearty laugh. He was keenly aware that Ye Zichen was trying to give him a way out of this awkward situation, and he happily seized the chance.
Zi Xia and the Great Sageâs eyes lit up. Ye Zichen immediately seized the opportunity, saying, âSince all thatâs in the past, and you no longer wish to separate Fairy Zi Xia and the Great Sage, let me take this opportunity to propose marriage on my good brotherâs behalf.â
Ye Zichen waved, and suddenly, multicolored lights filled the courtyard. âHere are three thousand sets of demigod battle armor, as well as one thousand sets of divine artifact armor.â
âHere are twenty thousand bottles of recovery pellets, spirit nourishing pills, and other ȧssorted medicines.â
âHere are talismansâŠâ
âAnd here...
âThese are betrothal gifts. Iâm offering them to you on my good broâs behalf, so please, accept them.â
The head of the Zi Family stared at the spatial rings in a daze, but after Ye Zichen urged them on, the hovering rings flew right up to him.
âThisâŠ.â
âAlthough I donât have much, consider this a show of my sincerity.â Ye Zichen laughed.
Did he just say he doesnâtâŠ
Have much?
When the Zi clansmen heard that, they felt as if their hearts were about to explode. In Jadewave City, these resources would have been enough to turn them into a top-rate family clan.
With these resources in hand, they could multiply their comprehensive strength in just a hundred years.
Yet in Ye Zichenâs eyes, this âwasnât much.â
The Zi Family couldnât even speak!
The Zi Family Head was the leader of his clan, in charge of the entire clanâs resources, but compared to Ye Zichen, he was nothing but a beggar.
Zi Yun gulped and fidgeted with his ceremonial blade. He was at a loss, and had no idea what to say.
âWhy arenât you saying anything?â Ye Zichen arched his brows. âIf you donât object, Iâll just take your silence as agreement.â
Ye Zichen glanced pointedly at the Great Sage and Fairy Zi Xia.
âThank you, father!â
âThank you, uncle!â
âAlright!â Without waiting for the family head to speak, Ye Zichen agreed on his behalf. He laughed, âNow, our star-crossed lovers will finally have their happy ending. As for the Zi Family, youâve only just arrived in the God Realm, and many of you are still injured, so I wonât disturb you any longer.â
âYe-zi, Iâll go with you!â said the Great Sage.
After leaving the Zi Familyâs new home, Ye Zichen was in high spirits. Heâd helped Supreme Treasure and the Fairy Zi Xia get together. This wasnât just for their sake; heâd wanted to do this for a long time.
Ye Zichen hummed a tune and pulled his phone from his pocket, then sent the group a message.
Only Idealism: Heh, you might not know this, but I just did something huge.
Only Idealism: Are you back in Heavenly God City yet?
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Yes, weâre back.
A long time passed, but they sent no more messages. Ye Zichen was baffled; based on his understanding of Pu Jingwan, this meant she was in a bad mood.
Only Idealism: @Invincible Adorable Beauty, why are you in such a bad mood today?
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Iâm busy!
Only Idealism: With what?
âYumei, whatâs going on? Why does Pu Jingwan seem so upset?
Roughly a few minutes later, Xiao Yumei sent back her response. âItâs not that sheâs upset; we really are a bit busy.â
âWhat happened?â
âDo you still remember Spirit City?â
âOf course!â said Ye Zichen.
âThe Four Direction Palaceâs Third Highness stayed behind to clean up the mess, but heâs since disappeared, and all the subordinates he brought with him are dead. Furthermore, their souls have been suÄkÄd dry!â
