CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 4 WILL YOU MARRY ME!?

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Tian Yiyi, Chen Jiuge planned to find a **cave mansion** to settle down first, as the study of the **Sea God Bloodline** would take at least a few years. If he continued to stay in an inn, the expenses would be too great.

After tipping the inn servant, Chen Jiuge quickly found a peaceful residence.

This house was quite decent, with three courtyards, an **Alchemy Room**, an **Artifact Refining Room**, and two **Cultivation Rooms**. Outside the small courtyard was a pond, and the **Cultivators** living nearby were quite amiable. Except for the lack of a **Secret Realm**, one could say it was very suitable for Chen Jiuge.

"The current selling price for this small courtyard is ten thousand **Top Grade Spiritual Stones**, which is very cheap. If it weren’t for my little uncle being in a hurry to go out and develop, it wouldn’t be sold for such a low price," the inn servant said with some regret.

After all, this was the safest **Immortal City** in the territory of the **Tidal Heaven Sect**, and it even had protection from **Ba Xia**, so the price was truly not expensive.

Once the payment was completed, Chen Jiuge settled in smoothly.

After assigning rooms to the two beasts, Chen Jiuge then took them to his **Personal Cave Heaven** and held a brief meeting. "Next, I need to verify some thoughts, so I will be staying in **Sea Pearl Immortal City** for a while."

"**Ao Li**, **Li Kui**, do you two still want to stay in the **Grotto Heaven**?"

The two beasts nodded in unison. "Okay, then you two can stay here."

"**Yue Meng**, **Da Bai**, when you two are free, you can start **alchemy** and **artifact refining**. I will see how things go and consider whether to open a shop to make up for the consumption of **Spiritual Stones**."

"No problem."

Tian Yiyi arrived three days later, bringing ten **Merfolk** with her, while also chiding Chen Jiuge for moving without sending someone to inform **Lingbo Pavilion**, almost causing her to be unable to find him.

After apologizing, Chen Jiuge inquired about the shop situation in **Sea Pearl Immortal City**.

In the end, Tian Yiyi generously offered to give Chen Jiuge a shop, and after several refusals, he still accepted it.

He was quite grateful to Tian Yiyi in his heart. This woman is really generous.

Chen Jiuge named the shop "Cute Spiritual Material Shop" because two children around five or six years old were watching the store.

Over the following three months, Chen Jiuge, by using the **Merfolk** provided by Tian Yiyi, managed to extract the **Sea God Bloodline** within them and reactivated the dormant **Sea God Bloodline** inside **Jiao Yue**.

Watching the **Sea God Bloodline** that had reactivated and began to devour other **bloodlines**, Chen Jiuge still couldn’t understand the principle behind it. Why couldn’t the **Spiritual Beast Bloodline** be activated without the power of the **Golden Finger**?

Not until the **Sea God Bloodline** calmed down did Chen Jiuge shift his focus from the **Bloodline** research. Looking at **Jiao Yue’s** increasingly delicate features, Chen Jiuge had an unpleasant premonition; could this **Sea God** be a **Great Cultivator**?

**Body Seizing** is a very common tactic among **Cultivators**, including **True Spirit Body Seizing**, Soul **Body Seizing**, and so on, but I’ve never heard of **Bloodline Body Seizing**. I must trouble Senior Zhu to help me investigate. **Jiao Yue’s** changes are too significant. I’d better be cautious, Chen Jiuge felt it was better to be safe.

During this period, aside from researching the **Sea God Bloodline** in the **Merfolk**, Chen Jiuge also manufactured some **Spiritual Beasts** with high potential as products for the Cute Spiritual Material Shop. After all, aside from **Yue Meng’s High-level Elixirs**, **Da Bai’s** level of **Artifact Refining** was indeed not quite up to par.

Early in the morning, he heard a knock on the door. Chen Jiuge was puzzled. Who is it? I barely know anyone here in **Sea Pearl Immortal City**, let alone others knowing my address, beyond my partner, Tian Yiyi.

Upon opening the door, Chen Jiuge looked at the somewhat disheveled **Nian Yu** with surprise and said, "Boss lady, what brings you here?"

"Of course I’m here to see you. Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit down?" **Nian Yu** fluttered her eyelashes flirtatiously.

In the small courtyard pavilion, Chen Jiuge asked again, "Boss lady, what do you need me for?"

**Nian Yu** hesitated for a moment, actually feeling a bit regretful. It was as if she had acted in desperation, but by the time she realized it, she had already arrived at **Sea Pearl Immortal City**. Holding the thought that since she was already here, she might as well give it a try, she finally found Chen Jiuge.

"I was hoping you could do me a favor," **Nian Yu** said softly.

Chen Jiuge was a bit startled. He didn’t recall being that close to **Nian Yu**. However, considering she had reminded him and not betrayed his information, he didn’t refuse outright. "Tell me, boss lady."

"I..." **Nian Yu** was very hesitant.

Chen Jiuge grew somewhat impatient. He’d been quite nice not refusing her right away. What was up with **Nian Yu**?

"I want you to marry me!!!" **Nian Yu** blurted out with a flushed face.

"Ha, what did you say?" Chen Jiuge was stunned.

**Nian Yu** began to explain. She had a brother named **Nian Dragon**, an **Inner Sect Disciple** of the **Tidal Heaven Sect**. The **Nian Family**, however, was just a family of **Loose Cultivators**, and their father had died when the siblings were very young.

Fortunately, **Nian Dragon** was recruited by the **Tidal Heaven Sect** that year, becoming a **Sect Disciple**, and **Nian Yu** was able to grow up smoothly.

But because **Nian Dragon** was mostly at the **Tidal Heaven Sect**, their brother-sister relationship had gradually become indifferent. If that was all, **Nian Yu** could have tolerated it; after all, thanks to her brother, she had opened the Purple Inn and had enough to live on for a lifetime.

However, fate had other plans. Three years ago, **Nian Dragon** suddenly came back and said that **Nian Yu** should prepare to marry his **master** as a concubine, striking her like a bolt from the blue. Marrying her brother’s **master** as a concubine was something **Nian Yu** could never accept.

After spending a large amount of **Spiritual Stones**, **Nian Yu** got a piece of news: **Nian Dragon’s master** was a **Heavenly Immortal** of the **Yin-Yang Dao**, which meant if she married him, she would simply become a **Furnace**.

Heartbroken, **Nian Yu** had thought of many ways to resist, but anyone she turned to for help immediately fled upon hearing her adversary was a **Heavenly Immortal Elder**.

"So, you’re asking for my help???" Chen Jiuge said, trying not to laugh.

Was he supposed to make an enemy of a **Heavenly Immortal Elder** for her?

"I have a **Pure Yin Body**, and if you marry me, just by taking my **Red Pill**, the probability of you **becoming immortal** can increase by five percent," **Nian Yu** said hastily, noticing that Chen Jiuge was about to reject her.

"Five percent?" Chen Jiuge laughed. Did he look like someone who needed that extra five percent?

At that moment, a cold sneer came from outside: "My dear sister, what kind of riff-raff have you found? Wouldn’t it be better for you to just come back with me?"

Looking at the shadowy youth who had broken the **Array** and entered just to taunt him, Chen Jiuge was baffled. Aren’t you rather brazen? Breaking in just like that, looking down on me?

"Wow, what a lively scene! Seems like I’ve come at a bad time," Tian Yiyi said, observing the broken **Array** and the three people who did not look too pleased.

"Ha ha ha, **Junior Chen**, how come you didn’t tell me you were coming to **Sea Pearl Immortal City**?" The hearty laughter of **Wudao Tian** echoed in the courtyard.

Chen Jiuge was completely bewildered by the sudden appearance of his Senior Brother and **Die Luowu**. Senior Brother, where did you even appear from? Didn’t you just get back from your travels?
