Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

The heads of the Duan and Su families, the guests who came to the courtyard, and even the experienced Forging Saint and Chu Aotian were all momentarily confused.

That old bastard (senior) is really something else...

……

The white-robed youth, standing in the center of the shadows, continued under the disbelief of his apprentice:

"However, the betrothal gifts we give are a little different from others."

"Because we're sending—"

Before he could finish speaking...

boom!

Now everyone knows why the sky suddenly darkened.

Dozens of dragons, each over twenty meters long and covered in pure black, armor-like scales, flapped their enormous wings—enough to blot out the sky and obscure the sun—and, as the overlords of the sky, slowly descended, completely surrounding the Duan family compound, which was as large as a town.

This is not a convoy at all!

Instead, it is a dragon team composed of the king of the black dragons, legendary creatures from the ancient and human emperor era!

Each of them had several gift chests tied to their backs, and one of them even had a huge red flower around its neck. Its terrifying dragon wings flapped slightly twice, stirring up a terrifying storm, before it crashed down beside Yun Ping.

At the same time, the old rogue broke into a broad smile.

"These are the betrothal gifts!"

28. I'm supposed to play along with your act...

That's why they say when you entrust some tasks to an old rogue, sometimes some really weird things just pop up...

Jiang Shaoguang was well aware of his teacher's desire for him to make a name for himself, so he specially arranged an entrance that would attract the attention of both the Duan and Su families.

But what he never expected was...

The caravan that the old rogue summoned to propose marriage wasn't a horse caravan at all, it was a damn dragon caravan!

The sky above was a vast expanse of darkness, with dragon wings covering the sky as far as the eye could see. Although the black dragons present did not appear as large as those in the legends, they still exuded an aura of dominance over all things and reigning supreme over all living beings.

The reason for this is that the old rogue did not allow the adult black dragons from the Blackwater Abyss to descend here, but instead had Little Black summon some young black dragons to help.

If the Black Dragon King were to unleash his full power, let alone the Duan and Su families, most of the guests and cultivators present would likely be terrified to death by the sheer might of the dragon's might.

Even so, many people present were still trembling with fear. The huge Duan family compound, where countless guests had gathered, was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to the black dragon standing beside Yun Ping, a crimson flower encircling its neck and a majestic expression on its face. They were all speechless with astonishment.

This silence was broken only after Su Wubin, the head of the Su family, recovered from his shock.

He stared tremblingly at Yun Ping, though deep down he didn't want to believe that this terrifying black dragon was summoned by this man, but at the moment there seemed to be no other explanation: "Your Excellency... Your Excellency, what is this...?"

—Even the way they address each other has changed.

Su Wubin is very strong. He is a rare martial arts genius. If he can master the techniques he created, his body will surely have the power to split mountains and seas.

However, at this very moment, that indestructible body was trembling slightly, simply because it sensed the dragon's might of the legendary creature before it.

However, looking at Su Wubin's expression, which seemed as if he had seen a ghost, the old rogue's face was not so pleasant.

—Because he realized that he seemed to have inadvertently gone too far.

"Calm down for a moment... These are just young black dragons, they can't cause any trouble."

Seemingly to dispel everyone's panic and fear, Yun Ping gently patted the dragon scales covering the front claws of the black dragon beside him, and looked at the Duan and Su family heads, whose bodies were trembling slightly, with a somewhat helpless gaze.

The reason he asked Blackwater Abyss for help was indeed to give our third brother a grand entrance, preferably one that could somewhat intimidate the Duan and Su families. If it were just an ordinary carriage, the other party wouldn't take our third brother seriously at all, and the subsequent negotiations probably wouldn't go smoothly.

So the old rogue felt that he had to make sure that the third brother had a place that the Duan and Su families would take seriously from the very beginning. After all, if they ignored you, what was the point of proposing marriage?

But then he thought, he couldn't make too much of an appearance. What if he scared the Duan and Su families? Wouldn't that be no different from the old rogue taking action himself? The third brother had specifically told the old rogue not to interfere too much in this matter...

After all, if force were to be used as a deterrent, Jiang Shaoguang would likely be rumored to be someone who abuses his power and forcibly takes other men's wives, and the reputation of Yuntian Academy would inevitably be tarnished.

Moreover... under the threat of force, who knows what kind of suicidal actions the Su family might take? If Su Yu were to be in danger... that's something no one wants to see.

Judging from the current results...

It seems like we've gone too far?

They're just black dragon larvae, so why do they all look like they've encountered a ghost?

Perhaps it was because he had been in contact with legendary creatures like the Black Dragon for so long that the old rogue had forgotten that among everyone present, there were probably only a handful of people who could defeat a newly hatched Black Dragon.

"These...these..."

Duan Duxiu also snapped out of his daze and looked around again. Looking at the silent black dragon in his line of sight, which was quite majestic just by standing there, he could hardly speak.

"These are all... invited by Your Excellency?"

“I suppose so—” Yunping scratched his head, pondering how to explain: “Just pretend I bought it.”

"purchase??"

Duan Duxiu and Su Wubin exchanged a glance, clearly neither of them believing this explanation.

However, Yunping deliberately steered the conversation in this direction: "The Desolate Heaven Domain has been a gathering place for black dragons since ancient times. Even now, black dragons are not an unavoidable race in the Desolate Heaven Domain. Besides, you business people should know about the so-called black market, right?"

Yunping tapped the scales of the little black dragon beside him and smiled: "I told you, our Yuntian Academy doesn't have much power, strength, or connections. We just have a little money, so we can still manage to buy some black dragon hatchlings on the black market."

black market?

Upon hearing this, the heads of the Duan and Su families were momentarily stunned.

They are all families from the Extreme Heaven Domain, and only Dark-level families at that. Unlike the Heaven-level families that control the entire Extreme Heaven Domain, they have no intention of expanding beyond the Heaven Domain.

This resulted in them having almost no knowledge of the Desolate Heaven Domain. If they had the chance, they would have gone to curry favor with the Lantian Empire long ago. Unfortunately, the cost of establishing friendly relations across heaven domains was too high, and they simply could not afford it. That's why they gave up the idea of ​​seeking allies in the Kuntian Domain or the Desolate Heaven Domain.

They were stunned when Yunping said those words.

So the black market in the Desolate Sky Domain has started selling black dragons?

This sounds so unbelievable!

"Your Highness the Prince..."

Su Ziyan stared at Chu Aotian beside her, her face pale. The latter's expression was slightly tense—in fact, he was suppressing a laugh.

Black market, black dragon hatchlings, that's all bullshit!

These black dragons were clearly created by the old master himself in the Blackwater Abyss...

The reason for saying this is clearly to show weakness to the Duan and Su families...

"Cough cough..."

Chu Aotian coughed twice to suppress the smile that was about to burst onto his cheeks, and then began his performance with a serious expression.

“He’s right, such a black market does exist in the Desolate Sky Domain.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chu Aotian was unaware of the existence of the black market, then it proves that what Yun Ping said was just nonsense, and there would be no way to explain the origin of these black dragons.

This would unconsciously lead people to think of Blackwater Abyss. Wow—a sect associated with Blackwater Abyss must have a completely different status.

Now that Chu Aotian has cooperated with the old rogue to put on a show, Yun Ping and his Yuntian Academy are completely different in everyone's eyes.

From a mysterious force that was once so mysterious that it could be associated with the Blackwater Abyss, it has now become a black market merchant with a little money (countless mountains of gold in its storage ring).

This shift in status is quite significant.

"call……"

Su Wubin let out a long breath, his gaze sweeping over the guests around him, but he didn't hear any of their questioning voices.

Qianxun Novel Free Transfer Group 255595300 After all, the guests present were only of a certain level, and they naturally could not afford to establish diplomatic relations across the heavenly realms. As for the development of the Desolate Heavenly Realm, they knew at most a little bit of information, and they had never even heard of the black market.

But since Prince Chu Aotian of the Empire had spoken up himself, they naturally couldn't question this prince of the Lantian Empire. Whether the black market actually existed or not, in their minds it had already become a foregone conclusion.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the way everyone looked at Yun Ping and Jiang Shaoguang changed completely.

Yunping clapped his hands again, and the next second, the gifts on the backs of the black dragons suddenly detached from their backs with a burst of magic light, and floated into the Duan family compound.

There were about fifteen gift boxes, which was relatively few compared to the gifts given by other sects.

"Alright, thank you for your help."

Yun Ping spoke calmly, his words reaching the ears of every black dragon. These young black dragons, who had just been born from the Blackwater Abyss, all looked at Yun Ping with reverence, then flapped their wings and flew away swiftly.

After the black dragon, which was enough to intimidate the entire audience, disappeared, the heavy pressure that had been weighing on everyone's hearts finally vanished.

Inevitably, their attention was drawn to the fifteen boxes of betrothal gifts.

Just now, everyone's attention was focused on the Black Dragon Army, but they almost forgot what Yunping said at the end.

Duan Duxiu took a deep breath, recovering from his shock. When he looked at Yunping again, his gaze was no longer so contemptuous, but it was not exactly respectful either.

"Your Excellency...you just said...you've come to propose marriage?"

"Exactly."

Yunping clasped his hands in a fist and bowed slightly to Duan Duxiu: "To be precise, it is my disciple who has come to propose marriage to Miss Su Yu of the Su family."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Su Yu.

A look of panic and fear gradually appeared on her stunning face. Su Yu didn't even dare to lift her delicate face, nor did she dare to look directly at Jiang Shaoguang, as if she was afraid that her emotions would burst out.

"Yu'er".

Su Wubin's rather intimidating words rang in Su Yu's ears.

Su Yu, who could never refuse her father, suddenly raised her head. Her eyes, filled with tears, trembled twice. She bit her lower lip slightly, as if to prevent the tears from condensing into her eyes.

"Yu'er is here..."

Do you know this person?

Su Wubin turned around and pointed at Jiang Shaoguang.

Following her father's finger, Su Yu's gaze met Jiang Shaoguang's in mid-air.

The blond-haired youth in the black robe was even more handsome than when they last met. His skin was slightly darker, but he looked more masculine. A gentle smile was always on his lips, just like the expression he had when they watched the fireworks from the wall years ago.

But the moment Su Yu saw that face, she felt waves of intense pain rising in her chest.
