that casting spells requires tranquility How can you remain calm with me here""Well, who let you be my only concern... You're still so silly to come after all this time. Don't you know a spell needs s...My dad didn't understand: "What do you mean"
"...You should address him as 'Elder Nephew' according to seniority, or if you go by age, calling him 'Grandpa' wouldn't be wrong..." I replied, feeling a headache coming on.
My dad glared at me: "Don't be silly, speak properly!"
"I touched my nose and backed half a step."
Mu Wanchen stood before my father and said in a deep voice, "I originally planned to visit in two years, but unexpectedly Yin Luo ran to the vicinity of our sect. After I saved her, I implanted the female gu worm into her... I ask for your understanding about this."
My father replied somewhat unhappily, “If something were to happen to Little Luo’er, how would you compensate me for a daughter”
"My master and Mu Xiaqiao looked into our fates, knowing that Yin Luo could become the host of the female gu. That's why I planted it; otherwise, I wouldn't have tried the gu again." Mu Wanchen frowned slightly.
My father knows more about the ins and outs of this circle than I do. When he heard Mu Xiaoqiao's name, his expression visibly softened.
"I've heard some rumors about Mu Xia Qiao... She is still the actual person in charge of the Shen family, but she has gone into seclusion to cultivate..."
Mu Wanchen nodded. "Well, she lives with me. I marked out a place for the Master to keep her safe and sound before."
My father heard that this influential figure in the industry lived on Muk Wanxin's territory. He seemed to relax a lot, nodding and saying, "That must be a blessed land of spiritual mountains, capable of attracting immortals to stay..."
"If you'd like, you can go take a look." Mu Wanchen said indifferently. "Last time Yin Luo copied some books, but I saw her holding the pen to write a few words and calling her hand cramps, you can go copy more medical books back."
I... I didn't say my hands were sore!!
My father gave me a look of disdain: "This child has been spoiled rotten, can't stand hardship. If I wasn't stretched thin, I wouldn't let her go so far... Ah, she's gone astray, gone astray."
"Not bad, although he's strong on the outside but weak on the inside, he's still sensible and knows that his life is precious."
This conversation's style feels a bit off, doesn't it
Dad and Mu Wanchen can use me as an opening act, no problem, but... why are they constantly criticizing me
My father always has this line: "My daughter here is a bit of a handful, I hope you'll take good care of her and not bully her. If she throws a tantrum, please be patient..." That sort of thing.
I rolled my eyes and turned away, pretending not to care.
"...If you agree, I will go back and prepare the ceremony for welcoming the princess. Yinluo carries the female gu worm on her body and cannot be too far from me. As I have to stay outside the Dharma Gate for a long time, it would be inconvenient, so I hope she can stay by my side." Mu Wanchen said in a deep voice.
My father looked at me, stroking his goat beard and asked, "Little Luo'er, what do you say"
"I, I, I... How can I say it They asked you!" My face flushed a bit, and I quickly blamed my father.
My father said slowly, “In the past, when people came to beg for a marriage, if the daughter was unwilling, they would say, ‘The daughter still wants to serve her father for a few more years’... If she was willing, they would say, ‘The daughter completely depends on her father’s decision.’ Which one do you want to say”
My dad's way of thinking is a bit unusual. He actually explained it like that right in front of me. What should I say to that
Don't I deserve some noodles!
Mu Wanchen let out a light chuckle, a hint of playfulness in his eyes, as if waiting for me to answer seriously.
This is too much! Am I supposed to just nod and agree, saying "yes, yes, of course, I'll marry you" As if I don't have a say in the matter. And besides, I've never loved anyone, yet he forced this poison on me!
When I was feeling awkward, Mu Wanchen spoke leisurely: "Yin Luo has the yin gu poison in her body. Besides, she and I have been intimate for a long time. If she insists on being stubborn, it might damage her reputation... The others are tough on the outside but soft on the inside. It would be difficult to get them to agree to marry willingly."
I'm dying of embarrassment. What does "intimate" and "strong on the outside, soft on the inside" even mean It made my dad look at me with pity.
"Little Lu'er, you've been seen through by everyone, your old father can't hold back anymore… If you're willing, I wouldn't be able to stop you... nor could I. With such an imposing son-in-law, how could I keep you Alas~~ I've always wondered what kind of man your future husband would be, but I never imagined that you would marry someone so extraordinary..."
Dad shook his head and sighed. I rubbed my nose, not knowing how to answer.
When talking about marriage, it seemed that the younger generation was always a little awkward. Mu Wanchen raised his hand and rubbed my head, and said to my father: "Although I hope to take Yin Luo back, I can't completely cut her off from her family. I will open a magical channel for her, allowing her to come and go freely, so that you can rest assured."
My father asked somewhat helplessly, "Well... your marriage isn't legally binding... I always feel a little uneasy about it... What if you take three wives and four concubines No one can stop you!"
Mu Wanchen replied faintly, "Faith is a constraint. Breaking the rules is a major taboo in cultivation. My master wouldn't allow me to do foolish things, and I wouldn't be so stupid either... A wife or lover, one is enough."
" ... No rules, no rules. Then I have no rules either. If I get wronged, I'll pack my bags and run away, finding a better husband. Who cares about being the Witch King's wife Love who I want.
Mu Wanchen coldly glanced at me upon hearing this: "I'm afraid you don't have that opportunity."
"Hmph." I curled my lip. "It's easy to win people over, but it's hard to win their hearts. If you want to take advantage of me, I'll definitely run away!"
He frowned slightly and whispered, "No."
"What won't" the old man immediately asked.
"I won't bully her, she's so small. What would I gain by bullying such a little one Besides, her name is inscribed on the mountain cliff by my master. Such a fated connection, I fear pampering her wouldn't be enough, how could I possibly bully her" Mu Wanchen seemed a bit perplexed as to why both I and my father kept saying he would bully me.
Just looking at the size difference, I'm afraid he might hit me. It's normal to worry about being bullied.
My dad raised an eyebrow, leaned in and whispered, “Well, she’s being pretty sincere. If you actually like him, I’ll just nod along and play nice, okay”
"...You're really unreliable."
“How can you say that's not reliable! Look, I asked everything I should have, and he also made his stance clear... Little Luo’er, all Father can do is this much for you! Love affairs, in the end, are always about two people. No matter how others meddle, it depends on your own feelings... If you feel safe and happy with him, what else can I say” Father looked at me innocently.
I looked at Mu Wanchen, his deep eyes gazing back at me.
Perhaps I was truly bewitched by him, his eyes held me completely spellbound.
Love, like a magic potion, can ensnare someone willingly.e were not ordered to leave the sect on our own accord. We would be severely punished, at least confined to solitary confinement, or worse, thrown into pits filled with ferocious insects." Liang Xiaog...
