Chapter 148 The Divine Child of Earth Wants to Marry Jihulan

"Elder, if I marry Jihulan, does that mean—she will become my complete protector?"

"Didn't you say that favors diminish with use? But if she becomes my wife, the issue of favors will disappear. What relationship could be stronger than having her as my wife?"

Diluo Shenzi suddenly spoke to the Supreme Elder, his voice low as if he didn't want a third person to hear.

But his eyes betrayed him; a hint of madness flashed in them, the greed of a hunter locking onto his prey.

This idea had been in his mind for a long time.

From the moment he first heard that the Supreme Elder had found a successor, this idea was like a seed that fell into the soil, took root, sprouted, and grew more and more luxuriant.

Jihulan.

A rural woman from Jiuzhen.

He had inquired about her background. She was the daughter-in-law of Andali of Jiuzhen, from a declining Kshatriya family who had fled to Jiuzhen. She had never seen much of the world and had nothing particularly remarkable about her. Her only highlight was her appearance; she was quite beautiful, with some charm in her light blue eyes.

But so what?

What kind of outstanding people could emerge from a poor and remote place like Jiuzhen?

In his view, Jihulan was just a village woman who had gotten incredibly lucky. She was suddenly found to have the bloodline of the Nine Silkworm Goddess, was suddenly brought back to the Buddhist sect, and was suddenly to inherit the Supreme Elder's lifelong cultivation—all of this came too suddenly, like a beggar suddenly being told that he was a princess who had been lost for many years.

This kind of person is still that village woman at heart.

Deep down, she's still that unsophisticated country woman.

And what about him?

Di Luo Shen Zi, the number one prodigy of the Great Sun Brahma Sect. Seventy-two martial arts seeds in his dantian. The bloodline of the Earth Mother, blessed with sixfold divine favor. He is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, making him the focus of attention wherever he goes.

If he uses a few tricks, how could he not win over a village woman? How could he not win over Jihulan?

You should know that many noble ladies and noblewomen wanted to marry him, the Di Luo Di Zi, but he didn't like any of them.

"Elder, if I marry Jihulan," his voice grew faster, as if afraid of being interrupted, "a powerful expert at the peak of the third realm will fully support me, and the position of sect leader will be 100% mine. Moreover, her marriage to me will benefit the Nine Silkworm Clan. I have always considered the Nine Silkworm Clan as my own. When you were alive, Jihulan certainly said she supported the Nine Silkworm Clan, but who knows what she will think after you die? If she becomes my wife? She and I will definitely take care of your clan with all our might—"

"No." The Supreme Elder looked at the Earth God Child with an indescribable gaze as he spoke eloquently, then slowly shook her head. Her voice was not loud, but it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him.

Di Luo Shenzi's words caught in his throat, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Why?

He doesn't understand.

This marriage is a great thing for Jihulan. She is a country woman who can marry Diluo, the God of Earth. It is a great honor for her. He is willing to marry her. Why should the Supreme Elder object?

Di Luo Shenzi has completely ignored the fact that Jihulan will become a powerful expert at the third realm in the future. Marrying the number one expert in Napur is a step up for you.

Di Luo Shenzi really knows how to pat himself on the back.

"For no reason." The Supreme Elder was silent for a moment, looking at him with light blue eyes, his gaze filled with an indescribable complexity.

"I've thought about that idea of ​​yours too."

Her voice was very soft, as if she were recalling something.

"I also think that if you marry Jihulan, I can rest in peace after I die. A granddaughter-in-law who has reached the third realm of perfection is better than anything else."

Di Luo Shenzi's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, but she shut him up with her next words.

"pity----

'

The Supreme Elder paused, then sighed.

"I tested her. She seems to already have someone else in her heart, so you shouldn't even think about it."

Is your heart already with someone else?

Di Luo Shenzi's expression changed.

"Is he her ex-husband?" His voice was filled with undisguised anger. "That country bumpkin from Jiuzhen? What makes him worthy of marrying a powerful expert at the peak of the third realm?"

He felt it was unfair.

What makes someone from a small town like Jiuzhen so special?

He, the divine son of the Luo Sect, the number one prodigy of the Buddhist sect, actually had to compete with a country bumpkin from the Nine Towns to marry a village woman.

Moreover, he felt he had been taken advantage of. Originally, a powerful expert at the peak of the third realm was his backer, but now he had become the backer of a country bumpkin from Jiuzhen. He felt as if something of his had been stolen from him.

"Never mind who it is."

The Supreme Elder's tone suddenly became more serious, his light blue eyes staring directly at him with a hint of warning.

"You absolutely mustn't do anything reckless. She's going to be a powerful expert at the peak of the third realm in the future. Don't ask too many questions about her love life, and don't offend her."

She paused, as if choosing her words carefully, and then continued, "This child has a very good personality and is grateful. I told her to support you in becoming the head of the Brahma Sect, and she definitely will. But you've acted recklessly—well, that's another story."

"Feelings can't be forced," the Supreme Elder said. She was very sensible in her actions. In fact, when she first brought Jihulan here, she had considered marrying Jihulan to Diluo Divine Child for the sake of Diluo Divine Child's future. However, after a brief test, she learned that Jihulan had someone else in her heart, so she stopped bringing it up.

She was very sensible and didn't want to ruin the relationship she had worked so hard to build with Jihulan over something like this.

The Divine Child of Earth understood the weight of those words.

The Supreme Elder was warning him.

Don't have any ulterior motives, and don't offend Jihulan. Just accept her support peacefully.

But he was not willing to give up.

"Please let me try."

He raised his head, his eyes resolute, as if making a final stand.

"I'll have a chat with Jihulan. I refuse to believe that I, the dignified Diluo God, am inferior to a nobody from a small place like Jiuzhen."

The Supreme Elder looked at him and remained silent for a long time.

The hall was quiet, the candlelight flickering, casting the shadows of two people on the wall, one tall and one short.

Finally, she sighed.

"That's enough."

She waved her hand, signaling the maids in the hall to go to the secret room to call someone.

"Gihulandevi, the elder is calling you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The door to the secret room opened.

When Jihulan came out, the divine light of the Diluo God immediately locked onto her.

She wore a light blue long dress, the hem of which trailed on the ground and swayed gently with her steps. Her long, black hair was draped behind her, with slightly curled ends, which made her look gentle and graceful. Her light blue eyes shone faintly in the candlelight, like a calm lake, gentle and without a ripple.

-

Her pace was neither fast nor slow, and her posture was not particularly elegant, but she possessed a natural ease.

The Divine Child looked at her and nodded inwardly.

She is indeed very beautiful; I never expected such a beauty to come from a small place like Jiuzhen.

He stood up, a perfectly timed smile on his face—neither too enthusiastic nor too cold, displaying both grace and dignity.

"Girl Jihulan".

His voice was deep and magnetic, in his signature tone: "I've heard so much about you."

Jihulan was slightly taken aback, then nodded politely: "Greetings, Divine Child."
