Chapter 306: If you do not wish it, even the Heavenly Emperor cannot take you away!

How could the Wang family possibly know about Jiang Daoxu's condition?

In recent years, Jiang Daoxu has never fought, and has remained in seclusion within the Qiankun Small World to recuperate.

Logically, the outside world should not have known about this.

"How did you find out?" asked a senior Jiang clan elder in a deep voice.

Previously, their attitude toward the Wang family had been courteous.

But now, it had turned cold and hard.

The Wang family's quasi-supreme chuckled and shook his head. "This is unimportant. What matters is that our Wang family has sincerity—we can restore Jiang Daoxu to health."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Jiang clan elders subtly changed.

They no longer needed to conceal anything, since the Wang family already knew the truth.

But if the Wang family truly could save Jiang Daoxu, it would be an immense favor.

After all, the death of a supreme would inflict enormous impact and loss upon an ancient clan like the Jiangs.

"Oh? The Wang family has a way to restore this old man to health?"

At that moment, an aged figure tore through the void, appearing before them—it was Jiang Daoxu.

Behind the clan grounds, Jiang Rou, Jun Xiaoyao, and others arrived in unison.

Jiang Daoxu exuded an aura of decay.

Yet the supreme-level pressure unique to him still caused the Wang family's quasi-supreme to stiffen.

Jiang Daoxu was a renowned top-tier powerhouse in the Huangtian Immortal Realm.

Even though he hadn't fought in recent years, his lingering aura remained formidable.

"Heh, for a powerhouse like Elder Jiang, to perish so quietly would indeed be a pity."

"Our Wang family is willing to exchange one Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Herb for the marriage alliance between your Jiang clan's divine maiden and our Wang family's young emperor."

The Wang family's quasi-supreme's words left every Jiang clansman in shock.

Even Jun Xiaoyao's face flickered with surprise.

The Wang family's young emperor had set his sights on Jiang Shengyi?

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing in his gaze.

Jun Xiaoyao had also heard of the Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Herb.

It was an extremely rare immortal herb, among the very top even among immortal herbs.

Legend claimed this Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Herb could completely transform one's body and soul, purge all illness, hidden ailments, and defects, purify flesh and primordial spirit, and bring one to a near-perfect state.

Of course, perhaps precisely because its effects were too prodigious.

Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Herbs.

Across the entire Huangtian Immortal Realm, perhaps not even one or two could be found.

If such a herb could be easily obtained, the Jiang clan would have already secured one for Jiang Daoxu.

Rumors even claimed this herb only appeared in perilous places like the Myriad-Era Burial Grounds.

That the Wang family possessed one was indeed surprising.

As if fearing the Jiang clan wouldn't believe him, the Wang family's quasi-supreme waved one hand.

A herb appeared in his palm.

The herb had seven leaves, each a different color.

Rich energy flowed around it, wreathed in an intensely fragrant aroma.

Merely smelling the scent gave one the sensation of ascending to immortality.

"It truly is the Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Herb!" The pupils of the Jiang clan elders trembled slightly.

The Wang family had actually been willing to produce such a top-tier immortal herb—something no one had expected.

"Well? Has our Wang family shown sufficient sincerity? We offer this Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Herb as a bride price."

"Moreover, our Wang family's young emperor is more than worthy of your Jiang clan's divine maiden. Elder Jiang can be restored to health. Why not embrace this mutually beneficial arrangement?"

The Wang family's quasi-supreme's words stirred some of the Jiang clan elders.

Indeed, the Jiang and Wang clans had never held grudges.

An alliance was not unthinkable.

And it would benefit the Jiang clan as well.

Even without considering alliance advantages, at least Jiang Daoxu could be saved.

Saving a supreme was extremely important to the Jiang clan.

Now, the only thing left to determine was Jiang Shengyi's stance.

At this moment, Jiang Shengyi bit her crimson lips, her celestial beauty pale.

She hadn't expected the Wang family to target her.

And to force her into marriage with the Wang family's young emperor.

To be honest, she had heard of the Wang family's young emperor's name.

But so what?

Her heart was already occupied by one figure—how could she make room for another?

Yet if she refused, Jiang Daoxu would have no hope.

From the clan's perspective, Jiang Shengyi should accept.

Jiang Rou's expression grew tense.

After all, Jiang Daoxu now had a chance at recovery.

Yet Jiang Rou did not speak, demanding Jiang Shengyi's consent.

This matter was truly unfair to Jiang Shengyi.

All the Jiang clansmen present turned to Jiang Shengyi, awaiting her decision.

"Shengyi-nie…" Jiang Luoli's face showed worry.

She did not know of the accidental events between Jiang Shengyi and Jun Xiaoyao.

But she didn't want Jiang Shengyi to sacrifice her own happiness.

Hua Yuanshu, however, his eyes flickering slightly, spoke: "The Wang family's young emperor is a true hero among men. For the divine maiden to marry him would not be a disgrace—she would gain the Nine Marvelous Reincarnation Immortal Herb and save the Supreme Elder. Why not accept?"

Hua Yuanshu's words found some agreement among the Jiang clansmen.

Indeed, marrying some nobody would have been a disgrace to Jiang Shengyi.

But the Wang family's young emperor was no nobody.

He was among the most prominent, powerful, and prestigious young suprema in the entire Huangtian Immortal Realm.

Marrying the Wang family's young emperor would not tarnish Jiang Shengyi's honor.

"To be betrothed to our Wang family's young emperor is your fortune. Do you still need to think about it?" the Wang family's quasi-supreme said coolly.

Hearing this, Jiang Shengyi clenched her jade hand.

Her peripheral vision involuntarily glanced at Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression utterly calm, devoid of any emotion.

This pierced Jiang Shengyi's heart with a sharp pain.

Didn't Jun Xiaoyao care at all?

Recalling that one absurd moment, Jiang Shengyi felt her heart tearing apart.

Perhaps such feelings were never meant to arise.

"I… agree." Jiang Shengyi spoke with difficulty, a self-mocking smile on her lips.

Hearing this, every Jiang clansman sighed inwardly.

They could all see the forced reluctance on Jiang Shengyi's face.

The Wang family's quasi-supreme nodded slightly. Whether Jiang Shengyi truly consented or not, she had agreed.

The Wang family's young emperor sought this marriage alliance primarily to use her innate Dao Body to ascend further.

As for such a luxury as emotion, its presence or absence was irrelevant.

At that moment, a calm voice spoke.

"Shengyi-nie… is this truly your own will?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shengyi's body trembled sharply.

A few glistening tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes.

She turned her face toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze met hers.

Their eyes locked, their gazes entwined.

"If this is truly your will, I will say not a single word."

Jun Xiaoyao paused, his tone calm yet brimming with dominance.

"But if it is not, then even if the Heavenly Emperor himself came, he could not take you away!"
