Seven days later, you are comfortably reclining on a soft couch, a spiritual fruit between your fingers, slowly putting it into your mouth.

The warm sunlight falls on you, making you feel cozy and comfortable. At this moment, you suddenly realize that cultivating immortality is actually quite blissful.

[During these seven days, you did not practice dual cultivation techniques, but instead focused all your energy on the dual cultivation secret technique "Dual Radiance Transformation Chapter," and the results were gratifying.]

If we consider the difference between superior three spiritual roots and dual spiritual roots as a distance of a hundred steps, you have only taken about twenty steps so far.

[But in just seven days, you've improved by nearly five steps.]

[The cultivator's vital essence and previous contributions seem to provide an additional boost to this secret technique.]

[It seems we need to adjust our strategy from now on. There's no need to practice secret techniques and dual cultivation methods simultaneously. Choosing the right time and practicing them at different times might yield better results.]

"Lianhuan, we'll be in the territory of Yuhua Sect tomorrow."

[The eldest disciple, who hadn't shown up for seven days, pretended to go out for a patrol, but then slipped back into your room.]

"Senior brother~ Junior sister is getting married tomorrow, aren't you sad? Don't you have any thoughts of stealing her away? Don't you have any impulse to fight for your beloved?"

You pursed your red lips, looked at him with a pitiful expression, and blurted out three soul-searching questions.

Jiang Jibai sighed and rubbed his forehead, then said seriously:

"Junior sister, I've really taken out all the spirit stones and pills I have. Shall I let you check my storage bag?"

【"Waaaaah~"】

You feigned tears, a hint of ambiguity in your eyes.

"Senior brother, that's not what I meant."

【"cough!"】

Jiang Jibai blushed.

"Stop fooling around. Take the Source-Tracing Dew, or we won't be able to explain to our master."

[The Source-Tracing Dew can repair severed limbs, not to mention the red pills on the female cultivator's body.]

"Tsk~ You're such a hypocrite. You've been having so much fun these past few days... Waaaaah!"

Jiang Jibai quickly stepped forward and covered your mouth to prevent you from saying any more inappropriate things.

He finally understood. This junior sister wasn't a little lamb at all; she was clearly a cunning fox who had lured him into her trap step by step before revealing her true colors.

[She's completely unrecognizable from her previous heartbroken state!]

Seeing that you were being unreasonable and trying to cause trouble for yourself again, Jiang Jibai helplessly pulled you into his arms, forbidding you from acting recklessly any further.

【"Hehe~"】

[You've figured out this senior brother's personality; he's frighteningly righteous!]

A talent as exceptional as him should be cultivating at the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect; choosing the Joyful Union Sect was truly a mistake.

[When he discovered your deception, instead of being angry or imagining things, he felt even more sorry for you and promptly gave you all his possessions.]

【Hi~ For such a thoughtful senior brother, all I can say is that I have no way to repay him but to offer myself in marriage.】

And so, provoked by you, a new storm has arisen once again...

【...】

The following day, the airship hovered above a giant city.

This city is called Jade Annihilation City, and it is a city ruled solely by the Jade Demon Sect.

It has intricate connections with the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, which is why this sect is confident enough to cooperate with the Joyful Union Sect.

You stand atop the flying boat, dressed in your finest attire, overlooking the city gates. There are no lanterns or decorations, only a few cultivators on their daily patrols.

It seems the other party doesn't take this so-called marriage alliance seriously.

Ugh, another troublesome task.

[You sighed inwardly, about to turn and return to your cabin, when suddenly a streak of light flashed from the city and landed abruptly on the mainship's deck.]

The light faded, and an elderly man in magnificent robes slowly emerged. His gaze, calm and serene, swept over the crowd before finally settling on you.

"But was it Miss Shen in person?"

The tone was calm and even, neither arrogant nor servile, showing neither excessive familiarity nor deliberate disrespect.

This left you a little unsure of what the other person was thinking, but you still agreed.

"Exactly."

"The lady has sent this old servant to greet you."

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression softened slightly, and he bowed gently in greeting.

Knowing that once you arrive here, you have no other choice, she nodded slightly and glanced at Jiang Jibai.

"You all go back. I can go alone."

The old man made it very clear that he was simply there to welcome you.

"Junior sister."

[Jiang Jibai's voice came from behind, and you paused slightly as you were about to step off the flying boat.]

"Be careful. If you encounter any difficulties, please send a message back, and I will definitely ask my master to come and help you."

This kid! He's actually pretty loyal.

He deliberately said this in front of the old man, intending to let him know that he was not a helpless person.

You didn't turn around, but casually waved your hand behind you before following the old man into the city.

A short while later, the two of you landed before a magnificent mansion.

The magnificent plaque bore three large, elegantly carved characters: "Jade Gate."

Outside the mansion gate, two rows of people stood at attention: one row of men in blue robes, and the other row of young women.

Upon your arrival, everyone immediately bowed in greeting.

"Welcome, young mistress."

Looking at the scene before you, you raised an eyebrow. Why the sudden change in tone?

In a daze, it felt as if I had fallen from a world of cultivation filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood into a domestic drama novel...

[Immediately afterwards, a woman in fine clothes walked out from inside the mansion. She first sized you up from a distance, then a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.]

"Is that Lianhuan? Come to me quickly."

[The person speaking to you like this immediately makes it clear to you that the woman before you must be that "cheap mother-in-law."]

You instinctively straighten your back and walk towards the other person with a composed yet elegant gait.

To be honest, this is the first time in both my lives that I've met my future in-laws, and I'm a little nervous.

Just as you approach the other person and are about to bow in greeting, they grab your wrist.

The woman scrutinized you carefully again, nodding frequently in the process.

At the same time, a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy quietly circulated around you, and only then did the woman's smile become much more genuine.

"Good child, from now on, treat this place as your home."

[Hiss~ You said it!]

A surge of excitement welled up within you. How wealthy the Jade Lotus Sect must be to cooperate with a second-tier sect like the Joyful Union Sect!

But your pretty face flushed slightly, and you lowered your head, softly replying:

"Thank you, senior."

"I am Ikegawa's mother. Ikegawa is your husband's name."

After saying this, the woman looked at you with a smile.

Your fingertips curled slightly as you gently clutched the hem of your clothes. After a long while, you finally managed to squeeze out a soft, barely audible whisper:

"Mother... Mother."

"Good, good, good, what a good child!"

The woman withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and led you slowly into the mansion.

Looking around at the magnificent buildings and spiritually rich mansions, you can't help but sigh inwardly:

Is this someone trying to infiltrate the upper-class cultivator circle and start living a good life?
