"Thirty years, three thousand years, and then?"
"After that...."
Xu Qingqing gently touched her own belly with a tender expression: "After that, Qingqing may no longer be able to stay by your side, husband. It’ll be our child who will celebrate your birthday instead."
Chen Zhixing raised his head and glanced at Xu Qingqing upon hearing this, but he quickly turned away upon seeing the affection in her eyes.
After a moment, only a single voice remained.
"Then we’ll talk about it when the time comes. Perhaps you’ll outlive me."
...
Getting married seems to be a significant event for cultivators as well.
At least on Chen Zhixing’s wedding day, the entire Purple Gold Mountain, the whole Jiangzhou City, was occupied by tens of thousands of high-tier cultivators!
The True Self Realm is just the threshold to ascend Purple Gold Mountain, while the Nirvana Realm grants one a seat at the Chen Family’s senior table. So, on this day on Purple Gold Mountain, seventeen rarely seen Peak Realm experts gathered!
These seventeen Peak Realm experts came from the Three Great Sacred Lands and various Noble Families!
It wasn’t until today that Chen Zhixing realized the vastness of his family’s social circle! It was also today that he realized how famous he had become! So many people he had never even heard of came to celebrate his wedding!
...
[East Sea Floating Mountain, Dragon-Haunting Sect’s Changchun Master sends congratulations, gifting three pieces of thousand-year warm jade, one glazed heart lock, and a million spirit stones.]
...
[Eastern Wilderness Celestial Extreme, the Wang Family’s Master Wang sends congratulations, gifting one bottle of Nine Heavens Spirit Marrow.]
...
[Southern Domain Zeng Family....]
...
[West Desert.....]
...
[Northern Domain Ascetic Sect.....]
...
[Central State Daluo Taoist Lands....]
...
Three Great Sacred Lands, Longevity Families, Five Regions and Four Seas, Star River Archipelago, Nine Celestial Vault Sects!
As a result, when Chen Zhixing saw a congratulatory gift list signed ’Wui Duolong’, his heart barely stirred.
"Maybe I was really too hard on him back then, or else today, the one suffering here would be Chen Zhaosheng, not me."
A thought flashed by, and it quietly vanished within Chen Zhixing’s mind.
Yesterday is beyond recall, and how could there be so many "what ifs" in this world!
It is clearly written in the great cultivation game’s perspective that after he, Chen Zhixing, the Celestial Mandate antagonist dies, the entire Chen Family is exterminated!
Even the Peak ancestor, Chen Tianyuan, was implicated and died alongside....
Thinking of this, Chen Zhixing let out a soft laugh.
He rubbed Little Stone’s head, who was acting as the flower child in the grand hall, and whispered to him under the gaze of the little guy’s aggrieved eyes:
"Little Stone, if one day your master meets an untimely death, always remember, learn your skills well and come back to avenge me."
The little guy looked at Chen Zhixing bewilderedly, wondering what master was talking about.
"Did you remember?"
"Remembered."
"That character reads ’le’!"
"Le!"
"Good boy, come, eat a candy.... hahaha, start remembering now, these people who came to our home to celebrate, count them one by one, when the time comes, I want rivers of blood because of them."
"River!"
"River my ass, did you remember?"
"Remembered, make them rivers of blood!"
"Such a good boy, master hasn’t loved you in vain, look, there’s more candy, eat slowly, make sure to remember every family’s name, got it?"
"Remembered! Master wants to see rivers!"
"Hahahahaha...."
[Ding! The Celestial Chosen Protagonist has, under your guidance, changed their fate path, you will receive part of the other’s fortune value!]
[Your initial fortune value is 3100%, increased by 1500%, attacking fortune value is now 4600%!]
...
Wedding, two people, two families.
Ultimately, the two become one family, and the two families become one.
This is the essence of marriage.
For the Ziwei Chen Family, the small Xu Family naturally means little, so insignificant that it’s hardly worth noticing, perhaps gone with a careless flick.
In fact, that’s precisely the case; half a month after Chen Zhixing’s wedding, the Xu Family underwent a transformation, merging into the Chen Family.
Though they still carry the Xu Family’s name, they have wholly relocated into Jiangzhou, renamed Jiangzhou Xu Family, becoming one of the countless vines attached to the towering tree of the Chen Family.
In response, the Xu Family is overjoyed!
Their only hope is that the child in Xu Qingqing’s belly will be born soon, possess enough talent in cultivation, and establish the name of Crown Prince of the Purple Gold Chen Family’s Longevity Family!
Besides that, after Chen Zhixing’s grand wedding, the whole of Jiangzhou seems to have become peaceful, and no major events occur openly.
But is there truly nothing happening?
Purple Gold Mountain, main peak.
Chen Zhixing sat at the head seat, looking at the jade mirror passed over by Lii Shuang beside him.
"Are you certain they are people from the Daluo Taoist Lands?"
"Confirmed, the Dark Guards found symbols of the Daluo Taoist Lands on two of them."
Lii Shuang responded in a deep voice.
At this time, the eight Snow Demon Race members of Lii Shuang have fully integrated into Chen Zhixing’s Dark Guards and become the sharpest tools within the Chen Family and Jiangzhou’s territory.
"So, Daluo Taoist Lands, what are they trying to do?"
Chen Zhixing slightly frowned: "Did you detect the presence of the Purple Gold King?"
Lii Shuang shook her head: "No, it seems that those infiltrating Jiangzhou this time are some peripheral disciples of the Daluo Taoist Lands, most of their cultivation is below True Self, with only a few at the True Self Realm, and the two symbols were found on them."
"Interesting."
Chen Zhixing closed his eyes in thought for a moment, then opened them: "Indeed, over these days, my Chen Family has become a bit conspicuous, I considered this possibility before, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon, that even the Daluo Taoist Lands would disregard that Jiangzhou is a Celestial Saint Palace territory and intrude."
Knowing the cultivation materials, Chen Zhixing understands that the Three Great Sacred Lands have always been cautious and guarded against many Longevity Families, and compared to the Celestial Saint Palace, the Daluo Taoist Lands are undoubtedly the most aggressive; whenever they detect a family rising, they employ various methods to suppress them.
