Chapter 2233: Chapter 2330: Su Chen’s Intentions (1st Update)
"Su Chen, I’m going back now." Xue Hanyue walked up and quietly said in front of Su Chen.
If possible, she certainly wanted to stay with Su Chen, after all, they had just met. Moreover, Su Chen had just accepted her, and it was the time when she wanted to be close to him and let their feelings grow.
But Xue Hanyue had to return.
Xue Chi was already dead.
And she was extremely aware of Xue Chi’s status in the Cold Abyss Palace now.
If she doesn’t go back, once the Cold Abyss Palace gets the news, they will definitely go all out for revenge.
That’s not something she wanted to see.
If the Cold Abyss Palace and Su Chen are in an undying determination, she was uncertain whether the Cold Abyss Palace would be exterminated or Su Chen would die, but no matter the outcome, her heart would be broken. The Cold Abyss Palace had treated her well, and Su Chen was the person she loved deeply.
She had to intervene.
As for tomorrow’s battle between Su Chen and Nan Yunyi’s helper, she has a gut feeling that Su Chen won’t lose, or at least won’t die, so she won’t be watching.
"Okay." Su Chen nodded, roughly guessing what Xue Hanyue’s thoughts were, so he didn’t stop her. He had already decided to stay in the Tianheng Holy Realm for some time and then go to the Cold Abyss Palace to find Xue Hanyue.
"Let’s go as well." In the distance, Ye Zhi originally wanted to say goodbye to Su Chen, but bit her lip and decided against it, her eyes complex, she whispered.
"Zhi’er, you’ve fallen for him, right?" Ying Jin said in a serious tone. He admitted, he was jealous, incredibly jealous, but also acknowledged that any woman falling for Su Chen was being reasonable, right?
Compared to him, what did he have to compete with Su Chen?
He’s totally outclassed.
At this moment, Ying Jin had lost much of his spitefulness and hatred, replaced by a bitter acceptance.
"I don’t know." Ye Zhi shook her head. She only knew that Su Chen had left too many impressions in her heart, and now, even when she slept, Su Chen’s image would involuntarily appear in her mind.
But is this love? Or hate? Or some other emotion?
She wasn’t sure.
All she knew was that she’d never escape Su Chen’s shadow for the rest of her life.
"Leaving the Tianheng Holy Realm?" Ying Jin asked again.
"No. I’ll find a hotel and stay there. Tomorrow, he still has trouble ahead of him, and I..." Ye Zhi actually wanted to leave the Tianheng Holy Realm directly, but couldn’t bring herself to do it. Deep down she wanted to see the bet between Su Chen and Nan Yunyi tomorrow.
Ying Jin became even more bitter.
Indeed.
He was a man; he knew what it looked like when a woman fell in love with a man.
Ye Zhi clearly was.
It’s just that Ye Zhi herself hasn’t realized it, wasn’t sure yet, and didn’t dare to admit it.
"Then wait here. I’m going back to the Ying Family." Ying Jin sighed as if he had matured. He felt like he was behaving like a clown, not even a backup option. Even if he stayed by Ye Zhi’s side, so what? It’s not like it’ll increase their affection; sometimes Ye Zhi didn’t even acknowledge him.
If it were another woman, he would try to fight for her, maybe even use forceful means.
But now, he’s almost certain that in future, Ye Zhi will definitely be Su Chen’s woman. Does he dare?
No, he doesn’t!
Offending a peerless monster who’s younger than five hundred years, not even in the Divine Lord Realm, but could defeat Nan Yunyi.
Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare!
Even though he’s the young master of a Fifth Grade Power Ying Family, it’s still not enough!
The strongest in the Ying Family wouldn’t necessarily be Su Chen’s match now!
Not to mention, now Su Chen is already the son-in-law of Tianheng Holy Realm, with it backing him.
Competing for a woman with Su Chen was too desperate, with not the slightest hope.
Better to give up.
Before Ye Zhi could say anything more, Ying Jin disappeared. He was going back to the Ying Family, from now on, no longer fantasizing about Ye Zhi, but continuing to be the rich son he was, at least enjoying a lifetime, which compared to losing his life, was much better.
"Did I really fall in love with him?" After Ying Jin disappeared, Ye Zhi murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes growing more complex, taking a deep, far look at Su Chen and leaving.
Very soon.
The crowd at Tianheng Martial Arts Field dispersed.
But Su Chen’s name was buzzing.
It spread like wings, at an incredible speed, expanding through all regions within the Four Clouds Sector.
Especially across all of Tianheng City, where discussions were fervent.
With great anticipation.
Because tomorrow, there’s an even more exciting spectacle.
Su Chen headed to the Domain Lord’s Mansion.
He was already the son-in-law of the Tianheng Domain Lord.
"Su Chen, when do you think you should hold the wedding with Mi Er?" As soon as Su Chen entered the Domain Lord’s Mansion, Shee Tianshi asked directly, with Shee Mi beside him bowing her head, her face blushing bright red.
"Well..." Su Chen was a bit helpless. He came for the Scarlet Demon Root, thus becoming Shee Tianshi’s son-in-law. As for the wedding...
How could it be possible?
Without finding his true identity, or reuniting with his mother and others, he would not hold the wedding.
"Father-in-law, your son-in-law actually has many women." Su Chen said reluctantly.
But Shee Tianshi and Shee Mi showed no change in expression.
It’s too normal.
In the martial cultivation world, those top-level mighty figures and geniuses having only one woman is what’s odd.
Take Shee Tianshi himself, he might have one wife, but his concubines, weren’t there more than a hundred?
"I haven’t found my biological parents yet, and the son-in-law vowed not to marry until he finds them." Su Chen continued.
Shee Tianshi frowned slightly.
Actually, he wasn’t worried about the wedding per se. He was more concerned about Su Chen as a person.
Too monstrous.
Too terrifying.
Without holding a wedding, he’s afraid Su Chen might not acknowledge it later!
Such a peerless genius must be firmly held on to, otherwise, given time, who knows to what extent Su Chen could soar? At that point, would Su Chen still look kindly upon his daughter?
Taking a deep breath, Su Chen hesitated for a moment, finally deciding to speak out: "Father-in-law, the main reason I wanted to participate in the marriage competition is because I need the Scarlet Demon Root!"
Su Chen said directly.
He doesn’t like conspiracies.
Nor does he like to beat around the bush.
Shee Mi became even more silent, bowing her head, biting her red lips tightly.
While Shee Tianshi frowned.
The next moment.
Shee Tianshi raised his head and stared at Su Chen, intently staring: "Are you saying you want the Scarlet Demon Root but don’t want to marry my daughter?"
"Father, stop saying..." Shee Mi’s face was already full of tears. Is she really so unwanted?!!!
She was wounded in her self-esteem.
"No, what I mean is that I’ll be upfront first, since I’ve won the marriage competition, Miss Shee Mi is my woman." Su Chen said seriously, this is the world of martial cultivation, since the marriage competition has been held, if he backs out now, Shee Mi and the entire Tianheng Holy Realm would become a joke, that would harm Shee Mi, harm Tianheng Holy Realm, and Su Chen wouldn’t stoop that low.
Su Chen continued: "But, Miss Shee Mi and I are not familiar with each other yet, we need time, time to get to know each other, I have faith that given time, Miss Shee Mi and I will reach a place of mutual understanding in feelings..."
The implication of Su Chen was very simple.
He currently didn’t want a wedding right away.
Instead, to cultivate feelings with Shee Mi first.
Then, when the day comes that he wants to marry, he definitely won’t forget Shee Mi, she will be among his wives.
"I see!" Shee Tianshi’s frown relaxed, and he chuckled: "Young boy Su, you are indeed a person of character."
