1: Brother, do you want a wife or not?
“Su Tianshu, as a disciple of my Su Family, with only a Pseudo Spiritual Root, what right do you have to inherit the Su Family? You should just go to the Hidden Vein!”
“No, you can’t do this to me!”
The young man, his Face covered in blood, looked up in astonishment at these words.
But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't stop himself from being taken away by sword, crossing the vast sea, and delivered to the Wei Kingdom.
He was thrown down from mid-air… Sixty-seven years later.
Qingxuan Town, Xiao Clan Immortal Family.
【It’s been eighteen years, this Five Spiritual Roots can’t Cultivate at all!】
【The small seal in my mind finally reacted, I must find a way!】
【But Eldest Cousin is my biological Eldest Cousin, coveting my future sister-in-law… I truly deserve to die!】
Beside a stone table, the refined young man looked at the gurgling stream before him.
He threw fish food, handful after handful, his eyes vacant.
The fat fish scrambled, and before long, the edge of the pond was covered in white bellies.
They had flipped over!
Eighteen years after his Transmigration, the moment Xiao Qingyuan learned that this world allowed Cultivation, he completely forgot the unpleasantness of his previous life, when he was taken away by a large truck.
After all, in his previous life, he grew up eating from a hundred families, and lived to his thirties without any aspirations.
A virgin, all alone.
His only achievement was using an axe to kill the truck driver before he died!
He had seen enough of the coldness of human nature and the fickleness of the world.
At that time, to eat, he dared to do anything.
In this life, to be born into a Cultivation Family, even if his life wasn't so affluent at first.
But he was loved by his Family, and both his parents were alive.
If he wanted to make some soap and perfume, his Family was happy to support him.
This is how he came to have this elegant courtyard, with the best food and drink.
He had cultivated himself to be as handsome as jade, so that anyone who saw him would praise him as such a young man, truly handsome… If he could achieve Immortal Ascension in this life and live forever.
Then he would truly have no regrets.
However, at the tender age of six, reality quickly gave him a resounding slap.
He possessed the Five Spiritual Roots, which was one in ten thousand among Mortals, and as lowly as weeds among Cultivators.
Over the years, he had cajoled and acted cute, obtaining many resources from his elders.
He had put in a tremendous amount of effort.
And only managed to Cultivate to the Qi Training Stage 3 Realm.
The Bottleneck of the fourth stage felt like an iceberg blocking him.
His Spiritual Root, withered like a weed, was short and weak.
Like a file, no matter how hard he worked every day, he could only scrape off a bit of ice from the iceberg.
It was truly hard work ~
Seeing his path to Immortality hopeless.
He had come to terms with it.
After all, since he was already here.
Living like this wasn't bad; at least among Mortals, he was a high and mighty Immortal!
Who would have thought that just as this idea appeared.
The bronze seal that brought him through suddenly reacted, making Xiao Qingyuan's spirit stir.
This led to the current situation.
“Eat more, it’s better to be stuffed to death than starved to death!” Xiao Qingyuan murmured softly.
Suddenly.
Hearing a sound, Xiao Qingyuan turned his head and saw a young man in fitted clothes quickly walking from under the corridor.
He lightly touched the water with his toes, his figure ethereal.
Before he could react, the person had already entered the stone pavilion.
Only then did Xiao Qingyuan see the anxious look on the newcomer's Face.
“Eldest Cousin? What’s wrong?”
Xiao Qingyuan felt a little guilty, but his Face was calm.
His mind, however, was racing.
【No way, no way, Eldest Cousin couldn’t have found out about me meeting my sister-in-law in private, could he?】
However, he didn't know that his biological Eldest Cousin, Xiao Qingfeng, was actually even more guilty.
“Cough! Brother, hehe, I want to ask you for a favor, but I’m a little embarrassed to say it…”
Xiao Qingfeng was twenty-three years old this year, but looked like he was in his early thirties.
He had a very good personality, but his appearance mostly resembled his grandfather.
He looked a bit like a star from Blue Star, Xu Zhisheng, and smiled with an honest expression when he spoke.
Xiao Qingyuan felt that Eldest Cousin's appearance indeed needed to be well-balanced by a spiritual beauty like his sister-in-law.
Otherwise, the appearance of their descendants would be worrying.
He was probably not just hearing some rumors and rushing over to demand an explanation.
Therefore, he sighed deeply: “Alas!”
“Eldest Cousin, what are you saying? Between us brothers, there’s no need for a ‘favor’?”
“Hehe!” Xiao Qingfeng scratched his head, thought for a long time, and then whispered:
“Brother! Some time ago, didn't our grandfather bring back a Mortal woman? The key is that her grandfather's generation and our grandfather were good friends, and they made a marriage pact when they were young. After her Family declined, there was no reason for our Family to break the agreement.”
“They said if there were descendants of suitable age, they would match a pair. Originally, according to the agreement, this woman should have gone to the eldest branch, and the marriage pact was for Eldest Cousin. But Eldest Cousin refused to agree no matter what, preferring to marry into Apothecary Wang’s Family than to marry a Mortal without a Spiritual Root. So it eventually fell to our father. You know what kind of person our father is, all that reading… *cough* filial, in short, it’s really not me messing with you, it’s all dad’s fault!”
“At most, blame Xiao Qingduo, you can’t resent Eldest Cousin in your heart!”
Xiao Qingfeng’s voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and when he finished, he grinned foolishly, scratching the back of his head guiltily.
Xiao Qingyuan was stunned after hearing this, and couldn’t help but exclaim: “Wait, Eldest Cousin means you also didn’t fancy that Young Miss Zhao, and then pushed her to me?”
Elegant!
Too elegant!
Now there was no need to be conflicted.
Seeing him not speak, Xiao Qingfeng felt even more guilty.
【That’s right, second brother has been smart since he was a child, and he’s handsome. He was destined to marry a Fairy as his main wife. With good luck, he might even marry someone with a four-attribute Pseudo Spiritual Root, and their children’s Aptitude would definitely be much better. It truly pains my dear brother, but brother, don’t worry, you’re helping Eldest Cousin avert disaster, and Eldest Cousin will definitely compensate you well!】
“Brother, don’t get agitated. This matter has indeed wronged you. For the reputation of our Xiao Clan Immortal Family, our father and the Family will definitely give you compensation. If you are willing to give Young Miss Zhao the position of main wife, then the Family will definitely find you a suitable co-wife. If you are unwilling, I will try my best to exchange a wife for a concubine. After all, Young Miss Zhao has no dowry, she’s just coming over as a person, and our Family will just provide her with good food and drink.”
“To be honest, I also think the Family didn’t handle this matter very well. Your brother is about to enter an Immortal sect, and with your brother’s current Face, I will definitely help you settle this matter before I leave…”
However, the next second, the expected complaints and anger did not appear.
Instead, Xiao Qingyuan’s expression suddenly became serious.
“Eldest Cousin! There’s no need to say more about this. I am willing to marry Sister Zhao, and she will be my main wife!”
... “Whoosh!”
Having received the good news, Xiao Qingfeng hastily grabbed his brother and rushed to his uncle’s place to report, looking very anxious as he sped along.
Xiao Qingyuan was quite speechless; so this was where the urgency came from.
He was rushing to amend the marriage contract!
He had wondered why the marriage contract, which had clearly been for Eldest Cousin a few days ago, had inexplicably become his own.
Eldest Cousin was not taking any responsibility for his own mistakes.
Xiao Qingyuan, whose feet were off the ground as he was dragged along, thought glumly, although Eldest Cousin was at Qi Refining Stage 5, only two Realms higher than him.
But the early phase of Qi Refining and the Middle Stage of Qi Refining were completely different Realms.
The total amount of spiritual power was about five times his, and the intensity was also incomparable.
Especially the magic arts that could be learned in the Middle Stage of Qi Refining; he, in the early phase of Qi Refining, couldn’t practice a single one.
For example, the movement technique Eldest Cousin was currently using was quite fast.
Otherwise, renting a Spiritual Field and using the Spirit Rain Technique every day would allow him to earn Spirit Stones.
This was the life an Immortal should lead.
Unlike him, even if he earned gold and silver, he couldn’t always exchange it for Spirit Stones…
