"Child, are you sure you want to go up the mountain to learn martial arts?"

"I still remember the day you were born, half the sky turned red! From then on, our family has risen steadily to where we are today, without ever experiencing any hardship..."

"Let's not take that risk, okay?"

After listening to her son's story, the woman spoke earnestly at the dinner table.

It wasn't that she didn't support Xu Ze pursuing the path of immortality; it's just that now that they had a stable life, this woman, born into poverty, only hoped that her son could live peacefully and safely, and asked for nothing more.

After a long silence, Old Xu, who rarely argued with his wife, finally spoke up:

"My dear wife, I support Ze'er in this matter."

He put down his teacup, his eyes bright, clearly having given this matter considerable thought.

“Ze’er has been blessed with the fortune of an immortal since childhood. It seems that he was born for this purpose.”

“The child has grown up, and this was his original intention, so we have no reason to object.”

The woman quieted down, and the air became still once again.

They were naturally reluctant to part with their son.

With my current family background, I've heard some of the secrets about immortals.

That was a path where people ate each other. Standing on the mountains of white bones, one could only imagine the suffering, torment, and danger one would encounter...

How can one stand on the platform of such a true immortal?

The path to immortality is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven.

Even if they are influential figures in this city, they can only hire two Qi Refining stage thugs at most, and they still have to be subservient to them.

What the two didn't know was that this good-for-nothing was even no match for Xu Ze when he was five years old.

"I have no other ambition than this."

The young man bowed and said sincerely, "I hope you two will grant my request."

Seeing her son's determined look, the woman could only sigh and tenderly stroke his face.

The old father smiled slightly, his hopes for his son to succeed.

It's not necessarily a bad thing that my son has such aspirations.

"When will you set off? Besides, when you go up the mountain to visit the immortals, the gifts can't be lacking, can they?"

The middle-aged woman thought to herself with great thoughtfulness.

"No rush, I need to choose an auspicious day, prepare all the gold, silver and valuables, and then buy the finest fabrics and silks, as well as a bronze dressing mirror and jade hairpins..." Xu Ze counted on his fingers, as if listing his treasures.

Upon hearing this, the two elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

This...sounds a bit like a betrothal gift, doesn't it?

However, the two of them naturally granted their beloved son's request without hesitation.

Now that I have quite a bit of wealth, isn't that what I'm saving for this?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could also marry my daughter-in-law while I was at it!

A few days later, everything was ready, and the day was indeed an auspicious one.

Early in the morning, a long procession of carriages lined up in front of the Xu residence, causing a sensation throughout the entire city.

"Such a generous gesture, truly befitting the Xu family!"

"The stuff here is almost as much as half the city's assets!"

"I wonder whose daughter she's marrying?"

"That can't be right. How could there be no news about something this big?"

"No matter who she is, she must be incredibly lucky. That young master Xu is both scholarly and martial, with an extraordinary air about him, like a celestial being who stepped out of a painting..."

"Ah, it's just a pity it wasn't me..."

On this day, countless young women in the city were heartbroken, crying and sobbing as if they had encountered a terrible tragedy.

Until this grand convoy drove out of the city and headed towards the Nanyue Mountains.

The people were dumbfounded.

The wedding procession... why are they heading into the mountains?

……

Xu Zecai didn't care about worldly opinions.

He secretly helped his family become so wealthy in this life, not only to ensure his parents could live comfortably, but also because of his own selfish motives.

Doesn't Ding Wan like money?

I don't know why, but... this time, there's plenty!!

Having suffered greatly in his previous life as a teacher and student, Xu Ze wanted to see if he could take things a step further.

He's going to propose marriage!

If you're the husband, you should be a little gentler, right?

Besides, marrying a female sword immortal is a win-win situation!

"Young Master Xu, we've arrived."

The familiar coachman, his aged and hoarse voice was exactly the same as in my previous life.

The difference this time is that it is led by two jet-black, gleaming horses, and the interior is decorated with luxurious deep purple silk, exuding an air of wealth.

The convoy behind them was even more impressive, with drums and gongs beating loudly.

They drove all the way to the foot of the nameless mountain until they saw the familiar three-story house.

The members of the Preparatory Gate were doing their daily, pointless 'cultivation' when they heard the commotion and rushed out to see what was going on.

"What happened?"

"W-Where did this grand wedding procession come from? My goodness!" Little Li was dumbfounded. He was born in the countryside and had never seen such a spectacle before.

"Wow, there are so many people?"

Only Sun Dehai's eyes lit up.

He thought to himself how wonderful it would be if all these people were willing to join the preparatory sect, so that Elder He could bestow the elixir of immortality soon.

Amidst the mountains and rivers, only Xu Ze ignored the stunned crowd, wearing a big red flower, straightening his clothes, and adjusting the groom's hat on his head.

He approached the counter alone, cleared his throat, and asked loudly:

"Is Miss Ding Wan here?"

"?"

The languid woman opened her eyes and looked coldly at the young man before her.

With a simple sweep of her divine sense, she immediately knew the situation outside, and her eyebrows furrowed instantly.

I thought there were already enough lunatics in Beiju Luzhou.

I didn't expect there to be experts in the Southern Continent.

Before Xu Ze could speak again, the cold blade had already touched his neck.

"From now until your head rolls, you have three chances to say something."

The atmosphere plummeted to freezing point; all the figures at the doorway seemed frozen in place, completely still.

Xu Ze broke out in a sweat instantly, his mind racing.

Holy crap, this is a disaster!

He immediately spoke, quickly explaining his purpose:

"It's like this, in my dream I was guided by an immortal who said that on an unnamed peak in the Southern Mountain, there is my destined goddess. Actually, I'm not a superstitious person..."

"This is the first sentence."

Ding Wan didn't even give him a chance to finish speaking before the sword's edge advanced another inch.

Xu Ze was drenched in sweat and had even placed his hands on the anchor point.

This isn't what I expected!

Oh no! Oh no!

Chapter 30 Marrying into the Family

Things progressed in a way that completely exceeded Xu Ze's expectations.

He had considered that Ding Wan might not agree, but he didn't expect her to be so angry!

And judging from her expression, she was definitely not joking.

At that moment, the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from his throat.

If he couldn't come up with a coherent explanation in his next two sentences, Ding Wan would really kill him!

How about saving the game using the [anchor point] first?

No, no, he's already stepped on a landmine. What if he's going to die no matter what?

That would ruin the file!

"I'm oversimplifying things. I can't treat this like a game anymore; I should treat it like the real world..."

Xu Ze took a deep breath and calmed down.

He had a premonition all along.

Whether it's Ding Wan or Bai Yuxi.

They are not NPCs at all, but living, breathing people.

If this maneuver truly ends his life, then he can only learn from it and consider it a lesson learned.
