"Hmm?"
There's actually such a good thing?
Lu Chen hurriedly asked, "Xuan'er, are you serious?"
"Mm! Brother Lu, don't you believe me?"
Lin Yuxuan promptly pinned Lu Chen against the wall.
—
Lin Yuxuan wiped the saliva from her cheek, stood up, and straightened her clothes.
"Brother Lu, wait for me in the Purple Nether Sect!"
"Once I get home and explain everything to Father, I'll have you come marry me in a grand eight-carrying sedan."
After all, Lin Yuxuan was a young woman; while she adored Lu Chen, she also wanted a proper, blessed marriage.
"Xuan'er, the moment you have news, tell me right away!"
"Then I can go propose to Uncle Lin!"
Having tasted the sweetness, Lu Chen nodded in agreement.
He'd thought winning Lin Yuxuan would take tremendous effort.
He never expected her to propose marriage herself—that's the power of a first love!
After a few more words of blessing, Lin Yuxuan fled as though running away.
"Girl, be careful on the road!" Lu Chen called after her stunning figure.
Qingyang Sect and Purple Nether Sect were a thousand li apart; a round trip alone took two full days.
Once they were married, Lin Yuxuan wouldn't have to run so far to see him.
Back in his bedchamber, Lu Chen said nothing to Luo Shuangli about Lin Yuxuan, planning to wait a few days.
On his wedding night, he had to consider his bride's feelings.
"Wife, I'm here."
Lu Chen lifted Luo Shuangli's red veil. Today her cheeks were dusted with light blush, her lips a fiery red—utterly enchanting.
"Scoundrel, it's not even dusk yet; shouldn't you be entertaining the guests?"
Luo Shuangli's delicate hands clutched her skirt.
"Those two-faced hypocrites outside can't compare to a single finger of my wife."
"Wife, it's time for the nuptial wine. Once we drink, we two become one."
"Every pain you've suffered, Your Husband swears to repay ten-thousandfold to those who hurt you!"
Luo Shuangli's sword bone had been dug out, and there was more to the story, but since she wouldn't speak, Lu Chen wouldn't press.
Hearing this, Luo Shuangli's eyes reddened; betrayed by her Sect, her heart was full of grief.
Facing Lu Chen's deep affection, her long-suppressed emotions finally burst forth in tears.
After they drank the nuptial wine, Luo Shuangli lay in Lu Chen's arms and told him everything from beginning to end.
"Outrageous! Such a thing actually happened?"
"The Profound Thunder Sword Sect is supposedly a Fifth-Rank Sect—how shameless!"
Lu Chen was furious.
He never imagined that Luo Shuangli, as the Saintess of Profound Thunder Sword Sect, would have her sword bone gouged out by her Senior Sister and then be pursued by the Sect's Junior Brother demanding Dual Cultivation… simply intolerable!
"Lier, once I advance to Heavenly God, I'll vent this anger for you!"
Luo Shuangli's heart warmed, but worried about Lu Chen's low strength she quickly said, "Lu Chen, don't reveal my identity yet, or I fear the Sword Sect will send people…"
Profound Thunder Sword Sect was a genuine Fourth-Rank Sect!
It had a Peak Heavenly God presiding—its power could not be underestimated.
"In that case, I'm afraid my wife will have to endure for a while." Lu Chen gazed at her tenderly, brushed aside the stray hair on her brow, and kissed her.
"You saved my life. Now that we're married, I'm a member of your Lu family."
"Wife, it's time to rest."
Lu Chen swallowed the fertility pill Lin Yuxuan had given him… only after much pleading did he finally let her go.
"No good—I've got to find you a few more wives."
Luo Shuangli lightly bit her lip.
"Hmm?"
Hearing his wife offer to find him more wives, Lu Chen instantly hugged her. "My wife is so generous you'd push me onto other women?"
Luo Shuangli bit his arm, leaving two rows of bloody tooth marks, and snorted.
"Who told you to be such a beast. Anyway, remember: no matter how many wives you marry later, I'm always your first and official wife."
"With such an understanding wife, what more could I ask? In my heart, Lier will always be the most beautiful!"
Lu Chen laughed; she was the first woman he'd forcibly wed, yet the one who held his heart.
Even if someone prettier or more Heaven-Defying appeared later, in Lu Chen's eyes none could surpass Luo Shuangli.
"Lier-bao, there's something Your Husband needs to discuss with you."
Lu Chen confessed about Lin Yuxuan, saying outright he wanted to marry her.
"Great! That's wonderful news!"
"Hurry up and arrange to bring Sister Yu Xuan home!"
Lu Chen handed her the void god pills.
"What are these?" Luo Shuangli was baffled—five full bottles, five hundred pills. Was she supposed to eat them like candy?
"Three a day would still take half a year…" "void god pills, for raising cultivation," Lu Chen explained.
"What? Void… god pills? All of them?"
Luo Shuangli was stunned; even coming from a Fourth-Rank Sect, she'd never seen such lavishness.
"Husband, my monthly allowance in Profound Thunder Sword Sect was only three void god pills plus twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Huh? That little? But you're the Saintess!" Lu Chen was also dumbfounded—so a Fourth-Rank Sect was this poor? Even the Saintess got only that much.
"Although Profound Thunder Sword Sect controls five Spiritual Veins, it has over ten thousand Disciples; monthly consumption is staggering!"
"Plus we have to keep a Sixth-Grade Spirit-Gathering Formation running—just two hours a day burns two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, sixty thousand a month!"
Luo Shuangli felt Lu Chen had no idea how expensive things were; buying so many void god pills, had he emptied the Lu family coffers?
She grew embarrassed. "Husband, take these back; one bottle is enough for me."
Seeing her sensibleness, Lu Chen felt a pang and said domineeringly, "No! Right now you're the strongest in our Sect."
"Your Husband is counting on you to step into the True God Realm soon so I can live off your success!"
