Su He laughed heartily, turned around, and ran, dodging the Fairy Sword with agile movements.
Su Huanian gritted her teeth, her sword falling like rain.
Su He cried out in alarm, but the corners of his eyes betrayed his hidden laughter.
Some things mattered too much to Su Huanian. Having been called the Sect Leader’s wife for decades, and now once again in his grasp, in such an era, she couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.
But what did that mean to Su He? Without the reality of marriage, she was a pure and untainted Fairy. Reputation? Su He didn’t care about that at all! He had hit the jackpot!
However, Su He couldn’t express his indifference following her words. She would become fixated and unable to let go, leaving both of them feeling inferior.
This was not what Su He wanted.
By making light-hearted jokes, he vented his feelings, and naturally, there would be no more obstacles afterward.
Su Huanian swung her sword, and Su He dodged with divine agility.
From a distance, Ya Ya tilted her head, puzzled. She had never seen her mother like this before, with such a strong aura of killing intent, yet without any real desire to kill.
Did Turtle Dad cause trouble?!
Ya Ya touched her chin, wondering whether to fan the flames. Then she saw Su He laughing loudly, suddenly turning around in his escape, bravely facing the myriad sword lights, and charging into the center of the Fairy Sword.
Su Huanian’s mind tensed, and she hurriedly retracted her sword. That Turtle took advantage of her scattered sword momentum and bumped into her. His claws hooked her once again into his embrace. The dragon head tightly encircled her.
Su Huanian stiffened instantly.
Since birth, aside from being held by her father as a baby, when had she ever been so close to a man? Today, she had been embraced by This Turtle twice.
Su He nudged closer, the warm feeling passing through the scales and into his heart, turning it soft.
Holding her tightly, feeling the delicate body in his arms, his scales relaxed. After who knows how long, Su He said earnestly, “Marry me!”
Su Huanian trembled slightly, lowered her head, and after a long pause, she whispered, “Okay!”
Her voice was soft, but her tone was resolute.
Without a moment’s hesitation, she was decisive.
Su He was stunned for a moment, then a long chant echoed throughout the entire Changyue Prefecture, and even the grass and snails within three hundred miles radiated joy.
“The Tian Shui clan, come meet the lady!” Su He exclaimed joyfully.
The Jiao people hidden throughout Changyue Prefecture leaped out of the water, each one joyous: “Greetings to the lady!”
“Lady is boundless!”
“Lady’s path of immortality is endless!”
Su Huanian’s cheeks flushed slightly.
At the gatehouse, upon entering and hearing the good news, the sacrificing Long Min, with the dragon-patterned staff on the ground, wept openly: “I wish our god and the lady will soon have a divine child!”
The lady had already given birth to a little Dragon Turtle, perhaps she could have another one.
In an instant, voices wishing for an early birth of a precious child and a house full of children rose and fell.
Su Huanian bit her lip, a small sword condensed between her fingers, and she jabbed it fiercely into Su He.
Su He laughed loudly: “Disperse, disperse, all of you disperse.” My wife is shy and can’t stand such excitement!
The Jiao people laughed, congratulating each other, and plunged into the lake water, disappearing from sight, leaving only the suddenly rippling lake water to declare the unrest beneath.
“Daddy!” In the small courtyard, Ya Ya tilted her head and murmured at Su He.
Then she became cheerful, running and jumping, calling out to Daddy and Mother. As she called out, she felt something was wrong. An early birth of a precious child… Oh no! Her status was at risk!
She sat down quietly, pondering. Indeed, parents are unreliable. One must have their own foundation! It’s better to run out early and carve out a piece of the world for oneself!
In a small courtyard of the garden, Green Snake woke up leisurely, her face in shock.
She was cultivating, having closed her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and did not hear Su He’s long chant or the Jiao people’s cheers. But suddenly, an endless power of marriage surged from the unknown, overwhelming her and waking her up.
This was… There was a highly esteemed presence around her, and a marriage was set with mutual affection! Moreover, the quality of the marriage was high, and the feedback she received was too strong; it was a red string she had personally tied.
There was no need to think further. Green Snake looked around and saw Su Huanian in the distance, embraced by Su He at the edge of the cliff.
A Fairy and a beast! Green Snake stuck out her little tongue, her cheeks blushing.
But it smelled so good!
This wave of marriage was enough for her to consolidate her cultivation level and advance a great, great step!
Moreover, marriage is not a one-time thing. As long as the two of them are well, Green Snake will continue to gain strength.
Indeed, it’s better to arrange marriages!
Green Snake raised her hand, and several water droplet-shaped jade stones appeared out of thin air in her hand. These were the powers of marriage, condensed due to the high quality.
This was not just about true love and deep feelings; it required both parties in the marriage to have a very high status.
Although Senior Sister is a Traverse Heaven, no matter how talented she is, she is still an ordinary person. Because of the Dragon Turtle?
Is the Dragon Turtle really that valuable? This is… too much.
Above Green Snake’s head, marriage stones fell like rain, pattering down into a small basket.
Green Snake’s snake tail swayed back and forth, her heart extremely unsettled. Was Senior Sister hiding another identity from her? Like the darling of the world mentioned in the stories? The favored daughter of heaven?
Otherwise, why would there be so many?
…
“Do you want a bridal gift?” Su He whispered, now extremely regretful. After being congratulated by the Jiao people, Su Huanian’s face was too thin, and she had already struggled out of his embrace.
Su Huanian chuckled, glancing at him: “Will you give it?”
Among cultivators, what bridal gift was there to speak of? If it weren’t for half a year of mortal life in the Xuanqing View illusion, she wouldn’t even know what a bridal gift was.
The Dragon Turtle didn’t want to be a Dao companion; he wanted to be a husband and wife like mortals…
Su Huanian smiled sweetly, but tears slid down the corner of her eyes.
“Then… let’s have it!” Su He said slyly: “Ask for more, after all, the bridal gift should come from the family. I have thick skin, I’ll go to Uncle Lei later, which of the seven elders wouldn’t want to take a cut from them? Otherwise, it would take forever to save up my own worth.”
Who speaks so shamelessly? How is this different from those who mooch off their parents in the mortal world? Su Huanian chuckled.
Then a voice from behind them, dull, said: “This is not good!”
Both were startled and turned around abruptly, only to see Green Thunder opening a space channel at some point, with a dragon head poking out.
It was originally watching the broadcast given by the Toad. This was one of the Toad’s major sources of income, broadcasting Ya Ya’s daily life to Green Thunder, with a considerable broadcasting fee.
Today was special, Su He was courting, stealing the limelight from Ya Ya, so the Toad switched the view and broadcasted it.
Green Thunder intended to open the channel, congratulate them, and send a gift. As soon as the channel was opened, he heard Su He planning to take advantage of the entire Dragon Turtle clan.
Could such a junior be wanted? Not to be killed and kept for the New Year, right?
Green Thunder was furious.
Su Huanian bowed slightly, her ears slightly red as she stepped aside, watching Su He get beaten.
Green Thunder was fierce, a mountain-like object, smashing down on Su He’s head: Cold Light Pearl, Heavenly Emperor Wood, Stardust Sand, Frost Jade Bamboo…
Heaven and earth treasures formed a river, wielded by Green Thunder into a whip, and with each lash, it scattered into a pile of treasures on the ground.
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
Su He hopped around, his divine agility flashing, but to no avail. With each lash from Green Thunder, it accurately hit his shell, even if his divine agility was still in the unmanifested void, the whip would still probe into the void and pull him out.
In an instant, various treasures piled up on the entire cliff, flowing down the cliff like water.
Su He cried out, and as he did, he realized that the whip didn’t hurt much when it hit him, but it was majestic. Seeing Green Thunder’s posture, the whip seemed to carry some personal grudge.
Su He looked up at Green Thunder: “Uncle Lei, are you jealous that I have a wife?”
Among the Dragon Turtle clan, from the great ancestor to Green Thunder, seven Dragon Turtle elders, all old bachelors for generations.
Green Thunder was taken aback, then became even more furious, lashing out even harder with the whip, with a snap.
Su He screamed and fell down the cliff. This whip was genuinely painful.
Green Thunder snorted, as if to say, who can’t hit a sore spot!
With a whip, he sent Su He tumbling into the sea of treasures below the cliff, then Green Thunder turned to look at Su Huanian standing alone under the tree, his attitude changing from Su He’s irritability to extreme gentleness, even his dragon whiskers fluttering.
He looked at Su Huanian and nodded, satisfied with this niece-in-law: “Very good! If Su He ever dares to bully you in the future, just call me, any Dragon Turtle will do, not stopping until his shell is peeled off!”
The Dragon Turtle never cared about appearance, temperament, or cultivation level, but Su Huanian was Ya Ya’s mother!
Su Huanian bowed lightly: “Thank you, senior, for not despising me.”
“Call me Uncle Lei!” Green Thunder laughed heartily.
Su Huanian was taken aback, her cheeks slightly red, and she bowed again: “Thank you, Uncle Lei.” Her voice was a few degrees softer. Having just established a relationship, she was now meeting the parents, and even Su Huanian felt a bit uncomfortable.
Green Thunder looked at her and said with a smile: “Our Dragon Turtle clan has never married a wife, and you are the first. Now that the relationship is set, you are family. Let your soul beast out and come with me.”
Being called family verbally is not the same as being taken to the Mountain Sea Xuan Realm, which is when the Dragon Turtle truly recognizes the junior wife.
The Azure Bird couldn’t wait to fly out of Su Huanian’s forehead, wanting to come out earlier, but was suppressed by Su Huanian and couldn’t escape.
As soon as it came out, it started chirping, but before it could make a sound, it was caught by an owl and flew away, heading towards the Mountain Sea Xuan Realm.
The owl flew in the sky, sometimes turning into a Sparrowhawk, sometimes into a monkey; Green Thunder’s soul beast had no fixed shape.
At the foot of the mountain, a little red ball shot over: “Turtle Grandpa, Turtle Grandpa! Take me to catch a soul beast!”
Everyone had a soul beast and could enter the Xuan Realm. Only she didn’t. Ya Ya was very frustrated. She jumped up and grabbed the Azure Bird, only to feel the scenery change in front of her, instantly switching to a different scene.
Mountain Sea Xuan Realm, Su He’s island.
Above the treehouse, the Toad appeared, and below the treehouse, the Azure Bird fluttered, and with it, Su Huanian, who landed here, turned into a turtle.
In the Mountain Sea Xuan Realm, aside from soul beasts, any creature that enters will turn into a turtle.
Su He’s consciousness woke up, roaring at Green Thunder.
Old turtle, you’ve gone too far! It’s one thing to whip him, but the last whip actually had a suppressing effect, pinning him under the cliff, unable to fly out.
Green Thunder looked at him and snorted twice, but was already ignored by Su He. Su He stared straight at the frosty white turtle in front of him, his eyes wide.
Su Huanian, upon entering the Mountain Sea, turned into a white turtle, but unlike Bai Ling’s White Jade Dragon Turtle, she seemed to be a snow turtle made of frost and snow, crystal clear, with a faint fragrance of wintersweet.
Su He was dumbfounded.
With his mouth open, he didn’t know what to say. Beside him, the sound of the orphaned Toad’s croak came: “Eh? Eh? How did you get in here too?”
Su He turned his head and saw a little Dragon Turtle behind him, flashing with electric sparks, looking around curiously.
Ya Ya had no soul beast, but she followed in.
Not the physical body, but the consciousness. Her physical body was still on the cliff of Changyue Prefecture, lying beside her mother, at a loss.
Suddenly controlling two bodies was a bit confusing.
Su He looked at her doubtfully, because Bai Ling’s soul beast reincarnated, retaining some characteristics of her previous life? Like the attribute of thunder, her previous life was a small soul beast shaped like a bolt of lightning.
Unexpected, yet reasonable.
Green Thunder seemed to have anticipated this and was not surprised. He chuckled and hummed to Su Huanian: “The other elders of the Dragon Turtle clan are still in seclusion and cannot come out to meet you for the time being. There will be opportunities to meet in the future. I won’t disturb your good days with this annoying fellow.”
Su Huanian didn’t understand beast language, but she had a soul beast to translate simultaneously. She looked up at Green Thunder,
And saw Green Thunder laughing heartily, his form dissipating. Even the huge dragon head that probed out of the channel in Changyue Prefecture retreated, and the space healed.
Outside the space, Green Thunder pondered.
Changyue Prefecture did not resist the Dragon Turtle breaking through space to enter and exit, and even seemed a bit pleased. But this place was no longer just Su He’s territory, now that he was married, as an elder, he should be more considerate.
He exhaled a breath, turning it into a Talisman that merged with the space where Changyue Prefecture was located.
It was a warning. If another Dragon Turtle came over, they would naturally sense the Talisman’s warning, trigger the runes, and could knock on the door knocker of Changyue Prefecture, and the master inside could open the door to welcome guests.
Green Thunder left, and Ya Ya, discovering a new world, excitedly explored, her entire consciousness transferred to the Mountain Sea, and her physical body completely fell into a deep sleep.
The suppression on Su He disappeared, Green Thunder was just playing with him and didn’t really want to suppress him. Su He flew to the top of the cliff and saw Ya Ya lying on the bluestone, a point of spiritual light separating the drizzle, sleeping soundly.
Su Huanian stood quietly at the edge of the cliff, looking at the distant mountains.
Su He put down her Fairy Sword and walked to her side.
The drizzle fell from above, with dark clouds overhead, and the full moon was not visible.
It was night, and the power of the Basalt constellation became more apparent. But Su He didn’t want to spoil the mood by cultivating at this moment.
Cultivation is never in a hurry.Su Huanian stood in the rain for a long time before her red lips slightly parted, “Ya Ya was born under special circumstances, and my grandfather did not acknowledge her. It’s only in these past twenty years that his attitude has softened a bit. If you meet him, will it cause conflict?”
Feng Yiju was the son-in-law he had personally chosen, yet he was suppressed by Su He. Su Huanian even followed him. If the old man found out, who knows what he would think of Su He.
Su He pondered for a moment and earnestly replied, “I’ll try to restrain myself, but I probably will!”
An old man he had never met, if he bullied his own woman and daughter, he probably wouldn’t stand for it. At most, due to the relationship, he would take his wife and daughter and hide somewhere far away.
If it really came down to it, he could leave the matter of the elders to the elders, and let them argue with Uncle Lei and Uncle Luo?
Su Huanian fell silent, then perhaps it’s better not to meet. It’s normal for cultivators and Divine Beasts to not see each other for hundreds or thousands of years.
She turned her head to look at Su He, gently gathering her hair as if it were an afterthought, “Can you tell me about the Grand Princess of Yunmeng Ze?”
Danger!
Su He instantly became fully alert, even retracting the consciousness of Qianjiang and Shanhai.
