The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands
Chapter 59 Meeting the Parents, the Soul-Nourishing Wood is in Sight!
After a short while, Ruan Qingzhu raised her head.
His eyes were still a little red, but his gaze had become very determined.
My sister made it very clear in her last words; she believed her sister.
That piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood can stabilize the soul and nourish the nascent soul; countless forces are secretly watching it.
The older sister used it as her dowry, both to find her a support and to try to find a way out for Ruanjiabao.
She took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Lin Yi. "Young Master Lin, Qingzhu understands my sister's arrangements."
"From this day forward, Qingzhu belongs to you, and my heart will never change!"
"puff……"
Mu Yun'er, who was standing next to her, had just taken a sip of tea and almost spat it all out.
She stared wide-eyed at Ruan Qingzhu.
What's going on?
This young lady from the Ruan family just took the initiative to get close to him like that?
What is it about this lecherous man that makes him so attractive?
Lin Yi was also taken aback by this confession.
He looked at the girl in front of him with slightly red eyes, his heart softened, and he coughed twice, "Ahem, Miss Qingzhu, matters of Daoist partners are not child's play, there's no need to rush."
"We can get to know each other first and let things take their course."
Although Lin Yi is a womanizer, he wouldn't stoop to taking advantage of someone in distress.
But Ruan Qingzhu seemed determined to keep him.
Next, she truly acted as his future Daoist partner, taking Lin Yi around Qingfeng City.
A faint smile occasionally appeared on her pretty face, like the first melting of ice and snow.
This is going to be tough on Mu Yun'er.
She followed behind like a maid, watching the two people in front chatting and laughing, feeling like an unwanted third wheel.
"Damn it... that pervert definitely did it on purpose!"
Mu Yun'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth inwardly.
Lin Yi felt a long-lost sense of ease when he was with Ruan Qingzhu.
This girl was innocent and pure, making him feel as if he had returned to his youth.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment.
"Hey, what are you thinking! I'm helping her all for the Soul-Nourishing Wood!"
A day later, Lin Yi and Ruan Qingzhu had become quite familiar with each other.
Now, it's time to meet the parents.
Ruan Qingzhu led him and Mu Yun'er to Ruanjiabao.
The three arrived deep within Qingfeng City, where they saw a cluster of tall buildings stretching along the mountain range, shrouded in mist and filled with spiritual energy.
"What an auspicious place!"
"Let's go, Brother Lin Yi, let's go home."
Ruan Qingzhu called his name softly.
Even she herself didn't expect that at first she would just think of it as a sacrifice.
But after spending just one day together, I was drawn to a certain aura emanating from him.
Although he was of average appearance, he was witty and gentle, and his composure made her feel at ease.
At this moment, she was convinced that the path her sister had shown her with her life was the best choice.
The three entered the main hall.
A burly middle-aged man was already waiting there, his eyes sharp as lightning and his aura very imposing.
"Father, I'm back."
Ruan Qingzhu quickly stepped forward.
"Nonsense!"
The man frowned. "You've sneaked out again! It's so dangerous out there. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your sister?"
His gaze swept over Lin Yi and Mu Yun'er. "Who are these two?"
Lin Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting, "Junior Lin Yi greets Senior Ruan."
Mu Yun'er remained aloof and motionless.
Ruan Qingzhu's father was none other than Ruan Yongchang, the lord of Ruanjiabao!
Ruan Yongchang was about to exchange a few polite words when his expression suddenly changed drastically!
"Lin Yi?! Which Lin Yi?!"
His pupils contracted, and his aura fluctuated.
Ruan Qingzhu quickly stepped forward, grabbed her father's sleeve, and secretly whispered something to him.
No one knows what she said.
Ruan Yongchang's expression went from shock to disbelief, and finally to a solemn look.
"It's that kid! Lin Yi, a disciple of the Pill Cauldron Sect. Although he's a talented individual, he's also a thorn in the side of the Soul Hall!"
"Putting Qingzhu and the family's fate on his shoulders, who knows if it's a blessing or a curse?"
But when he thought of his eldest daughter's dying wish, his eyes hardened. "So be it! Qing Shuang, I believe you!"
Seeing Lin Yi's aura as deep as an abyss, standing there calmly, he secretly praised him.
"Hahaha! Excellent! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"
"Nephew Lin Yixian, welcome to my Ruanjiabao!"
"Now that we're family, just call me Uncle!"
"Uncle Ruan".
Lin Yi smiled and responded.
At this moment, a beautiful woman with graceful bearing walked out; she was Ruan Qingzhu's mother.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately.
No wonder Ruan Qingshuang and Ruan Qingzhu are so beautiful; they inherited it from their mother-in-law!
"Junior Lin Yi greets Auntie."
The beautiful woman already knew what had happened from her husband, and she looked at Lin Yi with very gentle eyes. "Good boy, no need for formalities, please sit down."
Ruan Yongchang was a straightforward man and got straight to the point, "Nephew Lin Yixian, since Qingzhu is willing to become your Daoist partner, I have no objection!"
"Your relationship is settled!"
He changed the subject, "As for the Soul-Nourishing Wood... it's a treasure of our family, and I'll have to use some persuasion to convince a few conservative elders."
"If you're not in a hurry to return to Dan Ding Sect, why don't you stay at my Ruan Family Fort for a few days?"
Upon hearing about the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Lin Yi felt a surge of satisfaction.
This future father-in-law is really efficient!
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle!"
When Ruan Qingzhu heard her father settle the matter, her heart pounded, and she lowered her head shyly, her face flushing red.
Now that they were family, Lin Yi no longer hid anything.
With a thought, his bones made a slight cracking sound, and his face, like ripples spreading across water, instantly returned to its original appearance.
With striking eyebrows and bright eyes, he was exceptionally handsome and possessed an outstanding presence!
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
Lin Yi clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, "I have quite a few enemies, so I disguised myself when I entered the city. Please forgive me, Uncle and Aunt."
Ruan Yongchang's mind was in turmoil. "What superb face-changing skills! Even I, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, couldn't see through it!"
The beautiful woman's eyes lit up, and she smiled kindly, "It's alright, it's alright, you've recovered! My son-in-law is truly a handsome man!"
Ruan Qingzhu was mesmerized, her heart pounding like a drum. "He's...so handsome..."
After saying this, her ears turned bright red, and she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Ruan Yongchang sighed, "Nephew, to tell you the truth, my Ruan family is also in dire straits right now."
Lin Yi's expression turned serious. "Uncle, rest assured! I swear here today that as long as I have a breath left, I will do everything in my power to protect Ruanjiabao and Qingzhu!"
These words put Ruan Qingzhu and her mother at ease.
Mu Yun'er thought to herself, "This guy is actually quite responsible."
Ruan Yongchang nodded heavily, but his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
Lin Yi is about to face the Soul Palace.
A super force spanning several states, with countless Nascent Soul stage monsters emerging!
But the Ruan family had been forced to the brink of despair, with no other way out.
Lin Yi handed over a storage bag, saying, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it as a gift, Uncle and Aunt."
Ruan Yongchang took it, probed it with his divine sense, and was suddenly jolted!
The pills were piled up like a small mountain!
There are several thousand second-grade Spirit Gathering Pills and at least a thousand third-grade Qi Cultivation Pills!
There were also many spiritual fruits and medicines that exuded spiritual energy, but even he couldn't name them!
What shocked him the most was...
These Qi-Nourishing Pills are all round and plump, and their medicinal properties have reached an astonishing 90%!
"A Grade Three Qi-Nourishing Pill with 90% medicinal efficacy?! And so many of them?!"
Ruan Yongchang's voice trembled, and his hands shook. "Nephew, this gift you're giving us... is too shocking!"
Lin Yi touched his nose, not expecting such a strong reaction from the other party.
With his ten spiritual roots, the effects of elixirs were negligible, so he had long since taken the shortcut of cultivating together with the fairies.
These pills were just for fun; the medicinal herbs in his spiritual spring space kept growing, and he was almost out of space to store them.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be envious of a Grade 3 Qi-Nourishing Pill with 90% medicinal efficacy!
He threw out thousands of them at once, which was absolutely terrifying!
Lin Yi said without changing his expression, "These were all given to me by my master. He is an alchemist, and I can hardly contain them all."
"Master? An alchemist?!"
Upon hearing this, the Ruan family members all gasped in shock!
The fact that Lin Yi's master could casually produce so many top-grade pills suggests that he was probably a reclusive Nascent Soul cultivator and a highly respected alchemy master!
No wonder Lin Yi dared to challenge the Soul Palace; it turns out he had such a powerful figure standing behind him!
When Ruan Yongchang looked at Lin Yi again, his eyes completely changed. His previous worries vanished, replaced by ecstasy!
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
He was so excited that he exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row, "With your words of encouragement, son-in-law, and with your master as my backer, my Ruan family is saved!"
Lin Yi pressed his advantage, "Uncle, use these resources as much as possible to improve our strength as quickly as possible."
"The Soul Palace won't be able to deal with us for the time being."
"I see!"
Ruan Yongchang nodded heavily, looking intently at Lin Yi, "My dear son-in-law, I've heard that you... have quite a few female companions, and already have several Daoist partners."
He paused, then added, "We cultivators don't concern ourselves with such trivial matters!"
"As long as you treat Qingzhu sincerely from now on, your uncle has no objections to anything else!"
Lin Yi sighed inwardly.
What a wonderful father-in-law! You understand me so well!
He immediately straightened his posture and said, "Uncle, rest assured! I will never betray Qingzhu in my life! The affairs of Ruanjiabao are my affairs!"
Lin Yi settled down temporarily in Ruanjiabao, where he enjoyed good food and drink every day.
Mu Yun'er remained like a wooden figure, never leaving her side and never uttering a word.
Lin Yi ignored her, sensing that this girl still had a rebellious streak.
Then let's work on her temperament a bit more.
One night passed.
Lin Yi opened the window, and outside the window, the sea of clouds rolled in, a breathtaking sight.
Ruan Qingzhu brought over some spiritual tea and asked softly, "Brother Lin Yi, are your older sisters... easy to get along with?"
Lin Yi smiled knowingly.
An Xinyue is poised and elegant; she won't mind.
Xin Zhilei had long been completely obedient to him.
Ye Qingwan didn't have a chance to mind, as he was still considering whether to go back to his ex.
Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly as he turned to Ruan Qingzhu and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my Qingzhu is so well-behaved and cute, they will definitely like you."
"That's good." Ruan Qingzhu smiled sweetly, relieved.
Looking at the face that was so similar to Ruan Qingshuang's, Lin Yi was filled with mixed emotions.
Ruan Qingshuang was shrewd and calculating, but in the end, she even got herself caught up in it.
If it weren't for obtaining the Soul-Nourishing Wood to save Wei Xian's life, Lin Yi really wouldn't have bothered getting involved in this mess.
Unfortunately, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease.
Ruanjiabao had finally had a couple of days of peace and quiet when trouble came knocking.
Led by the Third Elder Ruan Yongnan, several clan elders banded together and openly opposed the marriage, not to mention submitting the Soul-Nourishing Wood.
The council chamber reeked of gunpowder.
Ruan Yongnan puffed out his beard and glared, "Lord of the Fortress! How can the reputation of my Ruan Family Fortress, built up over hundreds of years, be ruined in an instant?"
"A legitimate heiress marrying a poor boy from the Pill Refining Sect—aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Will our Ruan family still be able to hold our heads high in the cultivation world?"
"The Soul-Nourishing Wood is a family heirloom passed down from our ancestors. Why should it be given away to an outsider for nothing?"
"In my opinion, this kid is clearly after the treasure. He's all talk and no action, he's up to no good!"
He spoke with righteous indignation, but his eyes darted around erratically, and anyone with eyes could tell that he had something to hide.
