Chapter 220: Could the Nickname for Tianwai Island Be the Marriage Pavilion?

~7 min read 1,392 words

He didn't even use the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant or the Top-grade Spirit Stone, yet he just broke through so effortlessly.

Jiang Xun even doubted himself; he carefully tested it and found he had truly broken through, absolutely without any issues.

"Tian Zeyan." Just as Jiang Xun was preparing to strike while the iron was hot and continue cultivating, He Luyun's voice came from the doorway, and Jiang Xun immediately got off the bed and ran to open the door.

"Master, you're back." Jiang Xun looked at He Luyun and smiled.

He Luyun nodded, then walked into the room: "Close the door."

"Alright." Jiang Xun closed the door and turned around, only to discover that He Luyun was taking off her clothes, her fair and smooth back fully exposed.

"Hey! Master, what are you doing!" Jiang Xun hurriedly turned around.

He Luyun continued undressing, then a cyan-blue bodice fell into Jiang Xun's hands, and He Luyun put her clothes back on.

Feeling the fragrant bodice still warm in his hands, Jiang Xun couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This master is great! This master keeps her word!

Better than Ruo Lan.

"Master, I was actually just joking."

Jiang Xun turned around after He Luyun had finished dressing and smiled.

"It is nothing. Gufang Ninglin has already fulfilled the bet, and as your master, I naturally will not go back on my word." He Luyun shook her head, her expression as indifferent as always: "You performed very well in this Top Ranking Challenge."

Jiang Xun left with Gufang Ninglin, and a moment later Gufang Ninglin ran back looking shy; He Luyun had seen it all.

"Just luck, just luck." Jiang Xun said while quietly putting away the bodice.

"Do you have a marriage contract?" He Luyun then sat on a chair and looked at Jiang Xun to ask.

"Marriage contract? I don't think so." Jiang Xun shook his head; how would I know if I have a marriage contract?

"Are you willing to enter into a marriage alliance with the He Yu Dynasty?" He Luyun nodded and said again.

"Ah?" Jiang Xun was stunned upon hearing this.

"I mean, are you willing to marry me?" He Luyun looked directly into Jiang Xun's eyes, her words shocking.

Young, handsome, extremely talented, with a rare Spirit Root, shining brightly on Tianwai Island, and possessing a powerful background—Tian Zeyan was truly the best marriage alliance candidate for He Luyun.

Not to mention he had already taken that thing of hers.

He Luyun had always disliked dragging things out; if she wanted to do something, she did it without hesitation.

"Pfft." Jiang Yan, who was in the air, couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.

One didn't know whether to say this kid Jiang Xun had good luck with women or not; why did everyone want to marry him wherever he went?

"Uh... Master, stop joking." Jiang Xun was also startled upon hearing this, recalling his days in the Tianwu Sect Dungeon; why did this group of people always want to talk about marriage!

Isn't it good to be a bachelor?

"Don't misunderstand, this is not about feelings." He Luyun shook her head: "Your talent and aptitude, your background and status, along with my status and background—if our He Yu Dynasty and the Tianyu Dynasty can form a marriage alliance, it will be good for both of us."

"The Tianyu Dynasty is a top-tier dynasty in Nanwu, and the He Yu Dynasty holds a similar status in Dongming. In this way, it will be much more convenient for both our families to act in Dongming and Nanwu, and trade will become more frequent."

"In the days to come, I can provide you with many conveniences on Tianwai Island. With your ability, I believe you will soon be able to reach the status of a Dao Master."

"Of course, regarding your affair with Gufang Ninglin... if you truly have feelings for her, I will not voice any objections to you taking her as a concubine. If there are other women, it doesn't matter either; all I need is your status as a prince."

He Luyun looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"Master, is it because I took your bodice that you want me to take responsibility?" Jiang Xun pouted and said.

"My reasons are exactly what I just said." He Luyun shook her head: "If giving you a bodice could make you agree to a marriage alliance, then if there is anything else of mine you want, you can come and take it yourself."

As she spoke, He Luyun stood up, opened her arms, and closed her eyes, looking as if she were ready for him to take her.

"No, no, no, Master, please let me consider this matter. Can I finish the Top Ranking Challenge first?" Jiang Xun waved his hands repeatedly, stepped forward, and lowered He Luyun's arms as he spoke.

"Give me an answer before the Top Ranking Challenge ends." He Luyun nodded, and after saying this, she opened the door and left.

"Are you in such a hurry, Master?" Jiang Xun followed her and said helplessly.

"The one who should be in a hurry is you after the Top Ranking Challenge ends." He Luyun looked back at Jiang Xun and said, her words quite intriguing.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xun asked, puzzled.

"Given your performance today, I presume many people have already sent messages to the Tianyu Dynasty to propose marriage. At the latest, before the Top Ranking Challenge ends, your Imperial Father will choose one for you."

"The reason I came to you directly is that since your Imperial Father only sent one prince to Tianwai Island and even dispatched an Integration Realm protector to guard you, you must be very favored in the Tianyu Dynasty. If you take the initiative to propose marriage to me, I believe your Imperial Father will agree."

Favored, my foot...

I haven't even met the Tianyu Holy Emperor.

Jiang Xun was practically on the verge of tears upon hearing this; he couldn't possibly tell He Luyun that.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Xun currently didn't have a Communication Jade Tube to contact the Tianyu Holy Emperor, Jiang Xun suspected the Tianyu Holy Emperor would have already contacted him by now.

"Your Highness Princess, Prince Cang Xingyan is outside looking for Prince Tian Zeyan." The page at the main gate ran over quickly at this moment and said.

He Luyun looked at Jiang Xun upon hearing this: "It is likely about the marriage alliance between you and Cang Xingling. Will you see him?"

"Master, tell me the truth, could the nickname for Tianwai Island be the Marriage Pavilion..." Jiang Xun said helplessly upon hearing this.

"If you want to interpret it that way, that is also fine." He Luyun nodded.

"Sigh, I'll see him first." Jiang Xun said.

"Let him in." He Luyun looked at the page upon hearing this, then turned and walked toward her own room.

The page immediately went to call Cang Xingyan, while Jiang Xun stood in the courtyard waiting for him.

Before long, Cang Xingyan walked quickly to Jiang Xun: "Shall we talk inside?"

"Alright." Jiang Xun nodded, walked into the room with Cang Xingyan, and then opened the Soundproof Barrier.

"The Tianyu Holy Emperor sent a message asking me to hand this Communication Jade Tube to you so he can contact you." Seeing the Soundproof Barrier open, Cang Xingyan took out a Golden Communication Jade Tube and handed it to Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun took the jade tube and nodded: "Did he say anything else?"

"No." Cang Xingyan shook his head, then hesitated: "I have another matter..."

"Go ahead, I'm mentally prepared." Jiang Xun sighed and said upon seeing this.

"What do you think of my younger sister? It just so happens that your current identity is the Tenth Prince of the Tianyu Dynasty, you could arrange a marriage!" Cang Xingyan spoke, and sure enough!

"Big brother, they don't know, but don't you know? I'm a fake! Get a grip!" Jiang Xun placed his hands on Cang Xingyan's shoulders and shook him while shouting.

"No, that is where you are wrong!" Cang Xingyan said with a serious face: "Tian Zeyan is already dead; the only Tian Zeyan living in this world now is you!"
