Master of Strange Dao
Chapter 868 - 229: Preparing Materials, Stone's Wedding (8k)
Besides the current minor issue of wanting to eat stones, it seems like the previous major issue of attracting enmity with sarcasm is gone.
Song wants his son to hurry up and marry and have children, and Yu Ziqing also wants to know if he can have children.
After all, everyone else on Jinlan Mountain has been unable to have children since a long time ago after arriving here.
Yu Ziqing summed it up.
It might be due to the alien power influence on Jinlan Mountain, or they used to eat Jinlan Mushroom as their main food, or perhaps both.
Nowadays, Jinlan Mushroom on Jinlan Mountain is not like before when they could have it for two meals every day.
Especially these younger ones, to prevent such occurrences, they haven't been allowed to permanently stay on the mountain.
The large area between the locust forest and Jinlan Mountain is free from the alien power of Jinlan Mountain.
Moreover, they didn't have the chance to eat Jinlan Mushroom as their main food.
This issue is a knot in the heart for many people on Jinlan Mountain, and Yu Ziqing certainly wants to figure out why.
Practice leads to true knowledge, as they say.
Coincidentally, this kid is of age, and quite reckless too. His father's will is strong, so isn't that just perfect?
Most importantly, Yu Ziqing fears that if they wait any longer, with this kid practicing the new Dharma Method and undergoing body refinement for too long, he might really be unable to have children.
When talking to Song about marriage, this guy was so excited he wished he could personally come, and even bring along seventeen or eighteen brides.
After being rejected by Yu Ziqing, he prepared a huge pile of betrothal gifts instead.
Yu Ziqing originally didn't care whether the kid gets married or not, but the environment and culture here are just like that.
More importantly, when people from Jinlan Mountain marry, it's not like just anyone can do it.
At least, they definitely wouldn't consider the major powers of Daqian.
Yu Ziqing fears that if those people get struck by lightning one day, they won't drag others down with them.
Yu Ziqing always feels that those major powers in Daqian have chances of crashing.
This was just discussed in the village, and somehow the message got to You Zhen.
Then, Yu Ziqing learned that King Xiang, despite his lousy appearance, had a large number of descendants.
He directly sent over his great-great-great-granddaughter.
Her dowry included three flying boats.
She's already residing at You Zhen's courtyard, and the hungry ghosts were invited to expand the yard a bit.
Yu Ziqing sat in You Zhen's yard sipping tea, sighing deeply.
"That turtle King Xiang, is there anyone else who would push their blood-related descendants into the fire pit like this?
Stone's that deadbeat, what kind of creepy appearance does he have, and you dare let her come?
Besides, with her sent just like that, shouldn't they at least meet face to face first?
If it doesn't work out, how's the young girl supposed to manage?"
"I saw Stone, he's just a bit talkative, but he's not a bad kid, he's a good match. Definitely better than many of the descendants of the kings in Dazhen."
You Zhen replied with a smile.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, it wouldn't have been their turn.
Most importantly, among King Xiang's descendants with a bit of looks and ability, unless you have shocking talent and potential for the Ninth Tier.
Otherwise, finding a suitable, decent person is already the best possible outcome.
Being able to marry someone on Jinlan Mountain is definitely better than marrying the descendants of the kings, and one day, those kings get wiped out and drag you down too.
And currently, the dismantling of territories is a given; it's just about how it will be executed.
There will definitely be deaths.
Yu Ziqing met King Xiang's great-great-great-granddaughter, a well-behaved and adorable girl, sensible and polite, quite smart, most importantly, she has Fifth Tier strength.
Her aptitude is good, with enough resources she should be able to advance to the Eighth Tier, but the Ninth Tier will depend entirely on her own capabilities.
The young girl didn't have any reluctance; upon hearing she could freely beat Stone after marrying, she couldn't help but laugh.
That's just great then.
Thus, everyone got to know that Stone was getting married, and Stone was the last one to find out.
Rapid action is prized, and in less than ten days, the wedding took place.
Initially wanting to invite You Zhen and King Xiang to Jinlan Mountain for the occasion, but neither were willing to come, sticking to the rules.
The wedding was held north of the locust forest, in a newly built house.
The village chief was grinning from ear to ear, You Zhen was happy, and King Xiang was smiling like Er Han.
Even Song Chengyue, far away in Daqian, unable to come personally, was happily drinking the celebratory wine sent to him.
Only Stone was bewildered throughout, did whatever he was told to do.
The next day, Yu Ziqing opened his eyes amidst the commotion.
Coming out, he saw Stone running in front, chased by his wife and bridesmaids from her dowry.
Seeing Stone's strong voice amidst his cries, Yu Ziqing smiled contentedly.
Seeing Stone running, Yu Ziqing seized the moment and sneered.
"Can't even beat your own wife and you dare seek help from your elders, aren't you ashamed?"
Stone kept silent, realizing it was shameful, he turned and ran off.
The villagers came out, lined up, eating breakfast while watching the fun, and cheering them on.
"Hit him hard, don't be scared, just leave him a breath."
"Flank him, yes, punch him in the chest, break his bones."
Amidst the clamor, Yang finally emerged from the lab.
Watching the lively village, he smiled with some relief.
"The village chief must be really happy, huh?"
"Yes, everyone in the village is happy, let alone the village chief. He's been hoping for this day for a long time. He said if they could have a child, he'd die content."
"Let's go, the time you planned with that Tao-named guy is almost here, perfect timing to slaughter him for some fun."
