Smelling that aroma, Nalan Jie's face changed, and he stared at the jade bottle in shock.
"What pill is this?"
Even Nalan Su and Nalan Yanran were astonished.
"Grandfather Nalan, have you ever heard of the Dou Ling Dan?"
Seeing the old man's reaction, Ye Chen's lips curled upward.
"What?"
"Dou Ling Dan?"
At those words, Nalan Jie's composure broke completely.
"You're saying that this pill is the Dou Ling Dan?"
Staring at the jade bottle, his tone grew urgent.
He had of course heard of the Dou Ling Dan...a sixth-tier pill! In the entire Jia Ma Empire, only the Pill King Gu He could refine it.
Back when he had been stuck at Three-Star Dou Wang for years, he had considered requesting Gu He to refine one for him.
But Dou Ling Dan was far too rare. The materials were extremely hard to gather, and persuading Gu He to act was nearly impossible.
Gu He had never refined such pills for outsiders....only occasionally for Yunlan Sect's high-level members.
Now Ye Chen claimed to have a Dou Ling Dan! Naturally, Nalan Jie was deeply moved.
Ye Chen smiled. "Yes, this is indeed a sixth-tier pill, the Dou Ling Dan."
Nalan Su was also deeply shocked.
This brat had really gone all out....even bringing out a sixth-tier pill. Such sincerity was beyond question.
Nalan Yanran, upon hearing this, covered her mouth in disbelief.
After the shock, her eyes turned soft with deep affection toward Ye Chen.
Her senior brother was even willing to sacrifice a Dou Ling Dan for her. How could she not be moved?
Nalan Jie swallowed hard, his eyes burning as he stared at the jade bottle.
The Dou Ling Dan! The very pill he had long yearned for!
Was this boy really willing to give it to him?
If not for his pride, he might have already shamelessly asked for it.
Finally, unable to bear it, Nalan Jie's gaze betrayed his desire.
Seeing this, Ye Chen secretly chuckled.
So, even a Dou Wang couldn't resist the temptation of a Dou Ling Dan.
Since the old man still hesitated for face, Ye Chen offered him a way out.
"Grandfather Nalan, this Xuan Yuan Dan and Dou Ling Dan are merely small tokens from me.
Think of them as Yanran's filial offering to you, for being raised by the Nalan family all these years. Please, don't refuse."
At this point, Ye Chen no longer bothered with subtlety...he made his intentions clear.
He was determined to marry Nalan Yanran.
If the old man remained stubborn, Ye Chen was prepared to use harsher methods to force him.
Nalan Jie's eyes flickered as he understood perfectly.
Accepting this pill would mean acknowledging the marriage.
But this was the Dou Ling Dan!
He simply could not refuse.
"Ye Chen, our Nalan family has seen your sincerity. I, as her father, can rest assured entrusting Yanran to you."
It was Nalan Su who stepped in, smoothly accepting the pill on behalf of the family. His tone was warm and approving.
At that moment, he was extremely satisfied with Ye Chen as a son-in-law.
After all, anyone willing to hand over a Dou Ling Dan had proven his sincerity beyond doubt.
Nalan Yanran was deeply touched. If not for her grandfather and father being present, she would have thrown herself into Ye Chen's arms already.
"Thank you, Uncle Nalan."
Hearing Nalan Su's words, Ye Chen finally relaxed and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
He had avoided having to force the matter with the old man, which was what he preferred.
"Enough, it's getting late. Ye Chen, you must be tired today. Go back and rest. Yanran, see him off."
Satisfied, Nalan Su dismissed them.
Ye Chen nodded and left with Nalan Yanran.
After they were gone, Nalan Su handed the pills to his father with a smile.
"Father, he was willing to give even a Dou Ling Dan. You should let it go."
Expressionless, Nalan Jie accepted the pill with a sigh.
"If Yun Yun comes to propose again, just say I'm recovering from illness and in closed-door cultivation.
As for Yanran's marriage, you handle it. Remember to inform me on the wedding day."
With that, he retreated into his cultivation chamber.
Nalan Su smiled faintly. His father's words had already revealed his stance.
The old man's pride would never change.
Shaking his head, he too left.
Outside the Nalan estate, two young figures embraced.
"Senior Brother, you're so good to me!" Yanran whispered emotionally.
"For you, what is one Dou Ling Dan?" Ye Chen smiled, finally relieved.
After so much effort, his marriage to Nalan Yanran was now secure.
