Chapter 357

My heart is in turmoil!

Fu Yue quickly noticed the change in her emotions.

As a Seven Realms martial cultivator, she had extremely strong control over her body and mind.

So, immediately, Fu Yue cleared away all distracting thoughts with her strong martial will, allowing her to remain unmoving like a mountain even when faced with the gossip of many guests.

Her mindset thereby returned to normal.

All distracting thoughts in her mind were swept away cleanly.

"Brother Chen, will the Fu family accept that marriage letter?"

"That marriage letter was personally acknowledged and handwritten by Old Master Fu back then; how could they not accept it? Besides, the Fu family's strongest is only Nine Realms, and after our grandfather broke through to Nine Realms, Lu Xun is already not inferior to them."

"If Old Master Fu accepts it, who does Brother Chen want to marry?"

At this moment.

Among the several thousand guests, two people were secretly communicating via voice transmission.

One of these two people was none other than Lu Chen, who had suddenly stepped forward to present a gift to Old Master Fu before Lu Xun offered his congratulatory gift.

Lu Chen comes from the Lu family on the moon.

Development of the moon had already been underway over a hundred years ago.

Over a hundred years later, the moon has become extremely prosperous.

The entire moon, after over a hundred years of transformation, is no longer the same as it once was.

The moon can be regarded as a large aircraft.

When needed, the moon can also fly away from Lan Xing and operate independently in space.

On the moon there are not only Easterners, but also people from all over the world.

There is a unique set of survival rules and social system there, which can be seen as a new experiment.

That is a fully elite society where everyone is like a dragon.

On the moon now, everyone is a cultivator; there are no ordinary people.

Ordinary people... if, during childhood or even infancy, they fail the aptitude test, they are sent down to Lan Xing.

Lan Xing has specialized institutions that take in and cultivate these ordinary people.

Some families also adopt abandoned infants from the moon.

Especially families that cannot have children.

By adopting these abandoned infants, they can meet the state's birth quotas and enjoy various benefits.

The Lu family that Lu Chen belongs to, on the moon, is naturally a colossal family.

Originally they were an Eight Realms family.

Now, with the Lu family's patriarch breaking through to Nine Realms,

the Lu family has officially become a Nine Realms family, nearly on par with the Fu family.

That is why Lu Chen has undertaken this journey.

He has come to propose marriage!

That marriage letter was given by Old Master Fu to Old Master Lu when he was young.

At that time, the Fu family had not yet risen, and the Lu family had not yet gone to the moon.

The two families were neighbors, and their relationship was still good.

Then this marriage letter came into existence.

According to Lu Chen's understanding, the marriage letter came about when the two patriarchs got drunk together, and Old Master Lu proposed it, saying that a marital alliance would allow them to support each other.

Under the influence of alcohol, Old Master Fu impulsively wrote this marriage letter.

And he promised,

that in the future, descendants of the Lu family could bring this marriage letter to propose to any descendant of the Fu family.

The Lu family has always kept this marriage letter, and few people know about it.

Coincidentally, Lu Chen discovered it while helping Old Master Lu tidy his room.

He immediately had the idea.

That is why he made this trip to the Fu family.

Now, upon hearing his cousin's words, Lu Chen's gaze almost instantly fell on Fu Yue.

"I originally planned to marry Fu Yue, but I was a step too late; now I can only settle for second best and marry Fu Xue."

Lu Chen transmitted his voice.

More than ten years ago, he happened to see Fu Yue once and was instantly astonished by her beauty.

He had once tried to pursue Fu Yue, but she completely ignored him, and since she spent most of her time cultivating, he never got a chance.

Only when he saw that marriage letter stored by Old Master Lu did he find a way.

That was to use this marriage letter to marry Fu Yue.

But as soon as he arrived at the Fu family, he began hearing from other guests about Lu Xun and Fu Yue.

Lu Chen originally didn't really believe it.

Now, seeing Lu Xun present such a lavish gift, Lu Chen could not help but believe it.

If Lu Xun weren't the Fu family's son-in-law, he would have to be out of his mind to be so generous.

Thirty thousand cubic units of Dark Energy is no small number.

Do they really treat Dark Energy as if it weren't Dark Energy?

Although Lu Chen felt depressed, he had no other choice but to set his sights on Fu Xue.

Fu Yue's temperament is relatively gentle, making her the top choice for a wife.

Fu Xue is also peerlessly beautiful, but she is too cold-hearted; Lu Chen worries they won't get along.

But in the absence of alternatives, Fu Xue is also an option.

At least, she looks almost identical to Fu Yue.

"Brother Chen, actually I think Fu Xue is even better; this kind of outwardly aloof girl might turn out to be quite the contrast underneath."

Cousin Lu Fan said.

"Yeah! After the birthday celebration ends, we'll go find Fu Lao Yezi; our Lu family is this strong—if we join forces, it'll benefit both sides, and with the marriage contract in place, Fu Lao Yezi surely won't refuse."

Lu Chen's plan is very clear.

He and Lu Fan naturally communicated via voice transmission.

His ability is actually not bad; he also has cultivation at the Seventh Realm—otherwise, how could he have dared to pursue Fu Yue back then?

At such close range, their voice transmission is extremely hard for others to detect.

However,

Lu Chen didn't notice, but while they were communicating via voice transmission, the green-clothed man glanced at them briefly.

"This is the last one."

At this moment.

Fu Lao Yezi swallowed the last Saint-grade Longevity Pill.

This one is precisely a sixth-grade Saint-grade Longevity Pill.

After swallowing it, Fu Lao Yezi pressed his hands down, circulated his true qi throughout his body, causing the pill's medicinal power to spread through his entire body.

"Old Fu really did finish it all."

"Yeah, I was still hoping to beg him for one."

"To be frank, I also planned to use the favor of saving him from a pile of dogs when we were kids to beg him for one."

"We actually came up with the same idea—no wonder Old Fu is so eager; he's just guarding against us old fogeys, haha."

Fu Lao Yezi's old buddies started joking.

They aren't really trying to beg Fu Lao Yezi for a pill.

There are only six Saint-grade elixirs, and they're a complete set.

With so many of them, everyone wants one—how could it be enough to go around?

About a quarter of an hour later.

Finally, Fu Lao Yezi opened his eyes again.

When those eyes reopened, the previously cloudy pupils glimmered with a clear, glass-like light, and beneath the wrinkled lids burst forth the sharp keenness only a youth possesses.

His once-dim irises now resembled obsidian soaked in a spiritual spring, reflecting the hall's candlelight and actually showing the image of revolving stars.

"A century of gloom dissipates in an instant; the galaxy in his pupils mirrors the jade heavens—this is the sign of returning to youth, Old Fu has reaped a huge gain this time."

"As expected of a Saint-grade elixir."

"Such an elixir, though 30,000 is a bit steep, it's absolutely worth it."

"30,000 is still too expensive; around 10,000 to 20,000 would be about right."

Fu Lao Yezi's old comrades were filled with envy.

The Saint-grade elixir actually gave Fu Lao Yezi the signs of returning to youth.

This alone has increased Fu Lao Yezi's lifespan by at least a century!

That's a hundred years of lifespan!

How could they not be envious?

"Hahaha."

Fu Lao Yezi couldn't help bursting into loud laughter.

Today he is especially happy.

The birthday gift Lu Xun sent is exactly to his taste.

This made Fu Lao Yezi's gaze toward Lu Xun become extraordinarily warm.

He was about to speak,

at this moment,

the green-clothed man suddenly sent him a voice transmission.

Fu Lao Yezi's expression didn't change, but his gaze instinctively flicked to where Lu Chen was.

Just a glance.

Fu Lao Yezi then withdrew his gaze without a hint of emotion and looked toward Lu Xun again.

"Little Xun, you've given Grandfather such a precious gift; Grandfather hardly knows what to give back in return."

Fu Lao Yezi said gently.

"He actually calls himself Grandfather... is he treating Lu Xun as family?"

Fu Lao Yezi's form of address made many guests who still doubted Lu Xun's relationship with Fu Yue instantly dispel their doubts.

Lu Xun sending such a precious gift would have been enough,

but Fu Lao Yezi treating Lu Xun so affectionately—what else could it be but regarding him as family?

"Grandfather, what's wrong—you're not forgetting again, are you?"

Fu Yue has a headache.

She feels Fu Lao Yezi is getting into character again.

"Senior..."

"We're about to become one family, and you still call me Senior?"

Lu Xun was about to finish speaking, but was interrupted by Old Master Fu.

Whoa~

Wow, really!

Now, all the guests in the main hall burst into an uproar.

Old Master Fu's words completely confirmed the relationship between Lu Xun and Fu Yue.

Damn it!

Li Chao's teeth were about to shatter.

Impossible...

Liu Mei was about to cry.

This Lu Xun, where does he get such good peach blossom luck!

Wei Guangyao's face was grim.

Impressive!

Jin Yuhua gave a thumbs-up.

If Xinghe knew about this, I don't know what he would think.

Liu Changfeng thought of Liu Xinghe, who had remained at the previous ancient road node.

Grandfather!!

Fu Yue panicked, hurriedly sending a voice transmission to Old Master Fu.

Afraid her father would hear, she merely sent the two words 'Grandfather' in a coquettish tone, to remind Old Master Fu not to get too carried away.

But Old Master Fu seemed oblivious, as if he hadn't heard at all, still gazing at Lu Xun.

Grandfather, regarding your words, this junior only wishes you boundless blessings and longevity, seeking nothing in return.

Being watched by Old Master Fu, Lu Xun had no choice but to change his address.

This address pleased Old Master Fu quite a bit.

He slightly shook his head and said, 'Etiquette requires reciprocity; how can there be no return gift?'

Having said that, he suddenly broke into a smile, gazing at Lu Xun, and said with a grin, 'I'll betroth my two granddaughters to you—how about that?'
