NOVPUB"Alright, the three Elders stay, everyone else may leave," Chi Yuanbin waved his hand and said indifferently.
Watching as the people in the hall dispersed, a persistent worry clouded Chi Yuanbin’s brow as he lamented, "Our Chi Family has indeed faced a myriad of troubles lately."
"If it weren’t for the sealing formation in the Old Land having issues, tying up most of our clan’s fighting force, how would we have compromised with that brat," the Great Elder said with a cold huff.
"Great Elder, it seemed you were the quickest to back down just now," the Second Elder said with a light chuckle.
The Great Elder huffed coldly and said, "I did it for the sake of the family, setting aside my personal honor and dignity, wanting to settle this matter as soon as possible.
If a Divine Vein Realm Divine Beast were to go on a rampage, who among you could withstand it?"
"Enough, I didn’t ask you to stay to argue," Chi Yuanbin said indifferently: "Let’s discuss this matter, how should we handle it?"
"How else to handle it, that young man can’t possibly live in our Chi Family forever," the Great Elder said indifferently: "It would be wise to send this disaster away as soon as possible."
"I actually think this is an opportunity for our Chi Family," said the Third Elder, who had been silently listening.
"What do you mean?" Chi Yuanbin turned his head, asking with confusion.
"Since that young man possesses a Divine Vein Realm Monster Beast, why can’t we draw him to our family?" the Third Elder said with a smile: "Moreover, it’s just a little misunderstanding between us, there is no deep hatred."
"How to draw him in? What can we offer him?" the Great Elder asked.
"Chi Qianxue," the Third Elder said each word deliberately: "Young people, after all, can never resist beauty and fame.
Whatever he wants, as long as it’s not excessive, we will give it to him."
Hearing the Third Elder’s words, Chi Yuanbin slightly furrowed his brows, and began to ponder.
"Family Head, think about it, with a Divine Vein Realm Divine Beast, our Chi Family’s strength will see an earth-shattering increase," the Third Elder continued: "Among the six core Immortal Sects of the Eastern Continent.
Setting aside Taiyuan Heavenly Sect with its two emperors, just obtaining that Divine Vein Realm Monster Beast,
we could overpower the other four Immortal Sects."
Chi Yuanbin took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision.
He turned his head to look at the Third Elder and said, "Then this matter is yours to handle.
Tell Chi Qianxue, as long as she can win over that young man, we will agree to any condition she sets."
"Don’t worry, Family Head, I will persuade Chi Qianxue," the Third Elder confidently replied: "The family has raised her for so many years, it’s time for her to repay us.
Besides, she is the Saintess of this generation, soon to receive the ancestral heritage."
Chi Yuanbin nodded, his gaze deep as he looked off into the distance.
...…
"Boss, I didn’t embarrass you, did I," Chaos looked at Xu Zimei pleasingly, smiling, "My entrance was impactful enough, wasn’t it?"
"Mediocre," Xu Zimei replied.
"Then, boss, how about the promise you made to rejuvenate our Monster Race?" Chaos asked tentatively.
"What’s the rush, that’s not something that can be accomplished in a short while," Xu Zimei said: "I’m only giving you an opportunity, whether you can achieve it mostly depends on you.
Luck and strength are both indispensable."
"I understand, I understand," Chaos quickly nodded, saying, "I just can’t wait to try what it feels like to be a hero."
Xu Zimei chuckled lightly, his hands surged with Spiritual Energy, and the giant vortex reappeared in the sky.
Chaos looked at Xu Zimei pitifully and said, "Boss, it’s not easy for me to come out. Let me stay outside for a bit longer."
"I’ve always been curious about something," Xu Zimei said, "are you male, or female?"
"Boss, which do you prefer, male or female?" Chaos suddenly asked shyly.
"Do you want to die?" Xu Zimei narrowed his eyes.
"I’m male, pure man," Chaos quickly replied, seriously and without a change in his expression.
"That’s right, boys should take care of themselves when they’re outside. It’s safer for you to return to your different space quickly," Xu Zimei said.
After putting Chaos back into the different space, Xu Zimei also returned to his own room.
Not long after, Chi Qianxue came into Xu Zimei’s room holding a purple box.
Xu Zimei recognized the purple box at a glance—it was the relic from the Ice Snow Emperor’s inheritance that he had asked for before.
"Wasn’t the inheritance supposed to be accepted tomorrow?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.
"The family allowed me to take it out in advance," Chi Qianxue said after a moment of silence.
Xu Zimei took the purple box, and seeing Chi Qianxue’s curious gaze, he smiled, put the box into his Storage Ring, and showed no intention of opening it.
"Anything else?" Seeing Chi Qianxue standing still, Xu Zimei asked in confusion.
Chi Qianxue paused for a moment, and finally mustered the courage, her tone hesitant as she said, "What do you think of me?"
Hearing her words, Xu Zimei was startled, then burst into laughter, saying with interest, "It was some people from your family who asked you to come, wasn’t it?"
"That too, and also my own thoughts," Chi Qianxue looked into Xu Zimei’s eyes and said earnestly, "I think you’re very special."
Xu Zimei stood up slowly, sized up Chi Qianxue, and eventually leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Would you like to be my wife?"
Chi Qianxue was stunned. In that moment, she felt her whole body tense up, her heart seemingly beating twice as fast.
She forced herself to stop the inexplicable emotions.
It was as if Xu Zimei’s words carried an inexplicable magic power that made her irresistible.
She looked at Xu Zimei and said in a soft tone, "I don’t know, but if you’re willing, we can get to know each other slowly."
"Sure," Xu Zimei smiled, his look mischievous, and said in an especially aggressive tone, "You know, my favorite thing is to ’slay the spouse to prove the Way’."
As Xu Zimei’s words fell, in that moment, Chi Qianxue felt as if she had suddenly fallen into the icy snow of a cold kiln.
Her emotions went from initial excitement to fear.
She couldn’t help but tremble.
"Fool, I’m just joking," Xu Zimei smiled and said, "Now, are you still willing to be my wife?"
Chi Qianxue felt as though something was stuck in her throat, unable to speak for a long time.
She looked at Xu Zimei’s smiling face, and for some reason, her fear deepened.
"Leave now, don’t disturb my rest," Xu Zimei waved his hand, sat down on a chair to the side, and spoke lightly.
In that moment, Chi Qianxue let out a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and hurried out of the room.
Only after Chi Qianxue had left did Xu Zimei take the purple box out of his Storage Ring again.
