Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, in front of the Pangu Hall.

Lin Xuan, dressed in a flamboyant white outfit and waving a folding fan he'd somehow acquired, was standing on a large rock giving a motivational speech.

Standing below were the Twelve Ancestral Witches and a massive, dark army of the Witch Clan. These guys were all muscular and exuded a menacing aura, wielding axes or maces; they certainly didn't look like they were there for any good.

"Ahem." Lin Xuan cleared his throat. "Brothers and sisters, what are we going to do on Taiyin Star this time?"

"Rob the brides!" Zhu Rong raised his fist, his voice booming like thunder, "Bring those two women back to our thirteenth brother as his wives!"

"Yes! Take it back!" Gonggong chimed in, "Anyone who dares to stop us will be beaten up!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan nearly fell off the rock. He helplessly rubbed his forehead, barely able to wave his fan.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! How many times have I told you? We're civilized people now! We have spirits! We need to be reasonable! Don't you understand?" Lin Xuan looked at the group of violent lunatics with exasperation. "We're going to propose marriage, to pursue love, not to snatch a bandit's wife from a bandit's den! You'll scare the girl away!"

Dijiang scratched his head, looking puzzled. "Little Thirteen, what's the difference? In the end, we'll bring the person back anyway. Besides, we Wu Clan always do things directly; reasoning with us is such a hassle."

Houtu chuckled softly, covering her mouth; she was the only one who listened. She stepped forward and tugged at Lin Xuan's sleeve: "Thirteenth Brother, don't blame your brothers. They're used to it. Tell me, what should we do?"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and put on his inscrutable expression again: "This time, we must win people over with virtue. When we get to Taiyin Star, everyone should tone down their fierce aura and stop acting like vicious demons. Especially Brother Zhurong, could you please stop spewing out so much fire? It might burn the flowers and plants."

Zhu Rong reluctantly extinguished the flames on his body: "Fine, fine, I'll listen to you. As long as I can help you get a wife, I'll even act like a grandson."

"That's more like it." Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, "Let's go! Remember, we're going to reason with them, but if someone doesn't..."

Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Then let's show him what it means to subdue someone with physical force!"

"Okay!"

The twelve ancestral witches responded in unison, leading their vast army as they surged into the starry sky.

The whole journey was chaotic and disorganized.

Although Lin Xuan said he wanted to "keep a low profile," how could the passage of hundreds of millions of Wu Clan troops be anything but small? Wherever they went, stars trembled and space shattered. Those demonic beasts and rogue cultivators who were originally wandering in the starry sky were terrified when they saw this dark, ominous cloud of evil energy from afar, wishing they had two more legs.

"Report—!"

A high priest in charge of reconnaissance flew back, carrying a half-dead crow spirit in his hand. "Thirteenth Master, we spotted some demon spies acting suspiciously up ahead. I've captured them."

The crow spirit trembled with fear, his pants soaked: "Gentlemen, please spare me! I was just passing by buying soy sauce!"

Lin Xuan glanced at it and waved his hand: "Let it go. We are civilized people and we don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Release them?" Zhu Rong's eyes widened. "These are demon spies! What if they go back and report?"

After saying that, Zhu Rong snapped his fingers.

"call!"

A burst of divine fire shot out instantly, burning the crow spirit and the hundreds of demon spies hiding in the asteroid belt behind it to ashes.

A burst of dazzling sparks exploded in the sky.

Zhu Rong clapped his hands and chuckled, "Thirteenth Brother, look how beautiful these fireworks are! Consider this a little something to celebrate! We call this... what's that word again? Oh right, reciprocity!"

Lin Xuan looked at the sky full of "fireworks" and his lips twitched.

What kind of reciprocity is this?! You've practically scattered their ashes!

"Brother, could you please not be so direct next time?" Lin Xuan said helplessly.

"Hey, I'm just worried they'll go back and talk nonsense," Zhu Rong said nonchalantly. "Besides, these bastards are just an eyesore. We can reason with our younger siblings, but what's the point of reasoning with these demons!"

Dijiang nodded in agreement, "Fifth Brother is right. Thirteenth Brother, you're just too soft-hearted. Let's hurry up and leave. I sense that Taiyi, that scruffy bird, is almost at Taiyin Star. If we're too late and our wife gets snatched away, where will I put my face?"

Hearing that Taiyi was almost there, Lin Xuan stopped worrying about the details.

"All troops, accelerate!" A glint of light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

Taiyi, you probably never imagined that we'd be right behind you the moment you left. Trying to steal our thunder? In your next life!

"Charge! Help the Thirteenth Master steal his wife!"

The Wu tribe army accelerated once more, charging towards Taiyin Star like a pack of hungry wolves pouncing on a flock of sheep. Their momentum shattered several asteroids in their path.

This is what the Wu tribe calls "reasoning".
