Chapter 294: Aunt, I’m Getting Married!
Pregnant?!
It didn't matter how much hardships Ye Guan had to endure, but a baby of the Yang Family couldn't be allowed to suffer. Babies were too young to experience any hardships, and the Yang Family wouldn't allow anyone to disturb their peace.
The mysterious lady froze and went silent. She's pregnant?
“You guys didn't use any protection?” she asked.
“What protection?” asked Ye Guan.
The mysterious lady was speechless.
Ye Guan didn't bother prying as he looked. He could feel two familiar auras—one belonged to his father, and the other belonged to his grandfather. Ye Guan could feel their auras, but he couldn't see them, leaving him perplexed.
Their auras are here but not them; what's the meaning of this?
The mysterious lady suddenly said, “Hold on, I’ll try again.”
She opened her palm, and a mysterious energy flowed out. Soon, countless motes of light converged under the mysterious lady's control.
Ye Guan started to feel slightly nervous.
Slowly, those motes of light formed a bigger mote of light the size of a fist. A scene appeared before Ye Guan and the mysterious lady, but it was too blurry to the extent that it looked illusory.
Ye Guan quickly walked up to the mysterious lady and asked, “Senior?”
The mysterious lady was silent for a little while before she waved her sleeve.
The motes of light spots disappeared, and she said, “I know where she is now."
“Where?”
“She's in the Stone Village!”
Ye Guan froze. Ba Wan is at the Stone Village? Why did she go there?
The mysterious lady had told him that the Stone Village was their childhood hometown. Without thinking too much about it, he asked, “How do we get to the Stone Village?”
The mysterious lady replied, “I don’t think we can go there.”
“Why?”
The mysterious lady sighed and explained, "The Stone Village is a special place," the mysterious lady said with a smile. "The most powerful Divine Spirits of the True Universe had come from the Stone Village, including the True God. The Stone Village can be considered the Divine Spirits' ancestral land, so I'm sure you can already imagine just how tight its security is.
"Others will have no issues going there, but you're an exception. Your status is special, so if you go there, they'll think that you're trying to do something untoward to the Stone Village, which will eventually lead to an all-out war."
"What if we make use of stealth?" Ye Guan asked.
"Stealth?" the mysterious lady asked, “Do you really think that you can do that? The True Universe's eyes are always on you, you know?"
Ye Guan thought for a little while before he asked, “Senior, do you have any ideas?”
“Yes, but you’ll have to wait. I’ve been repeatedly exerting myself recently, and my old injuries have come back to haunt me. I’ll have to rest for a while and recover.”
“Senior, will the Divine Tree of Nature be of any use to you?”
“Yes, but it’s not that helpful because my injury is related to a Universe Tribulation.”
A Universe Tribulation! Ye Guan was curious, and he asked, “Senior, did you participate in suppressing the True Universe's Universe Tribulation?”
“Yes, I was there," replied the mysterious lady.
“All right. You should return to the pagoda and tend to your injuries, then, Senior.”
“All right, once my injuries are healed, I’ll bring you to the Stone Village. As for Ba Wan, you don’t have to worry about her safety. Not many people in this world can hurt her.”
Ye Guan nodded slightly. He felt slightly indignant that all he could do was wait, but he had no other choice. He retracted his thoughts and opened his hand. A sword intent condensed into a sword in his palm.
He was now an Immortal Realm cultivator, and his strength had undergone a qualitative change, all thanks to his breakthrough. Ye Guan was convinced that he wouldn't have any issues defeating Divine Sovereigns.
At this point, he probably didn't need the Path Sword to do it.
Of course, he would still have issues defeating Great Sovereigns, but he was no longer afraid of Ordinary Great Sovereigns.
Just then, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
He turned around and saw Nalan Jia walking toward him.
Nalan Jia smiled. She was still as beautiful as ever. “You've been here for quite a while, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to barge in. I didn’t disturb you, did I?”
Ye Guan walked up to her and held her hands. “Of course not.”
Nalan Jia leaned forward and hugged him gently.
She nestled into Ye Guan's chest and said, “It’s good to see that you’re back.”
Ye Guan wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said, “It’s been hard on you.”
Nalan Jia shook her head, not saying much.
Suddenly, Ye Guan said, “Little Jia, I have something to tell you.”
Nalan Jia raised her head to look at him and smiled, asking, ”What is it?”
Ye Guan opened his mouth to reply, but Nalan Jia interjected and said, “Is it about a woman?”
Ye Guan froze and went silent.
Nalan Jia chuckled and said, “I can feel how fast your heart is beating, you know?”
Ye Guan nodded in response. There were some things that he didn't want to hide from her. Once again, Ye Guan was about to say something when Nalan Jia said, “Let’s take a trip back to Nanzhou’s Ancient Desolate City first. What do you think?”
Ye Guan looked at her for a while before saying, “Okay.”
Nalan Jia grinned, and she nestled into his chest once again.
They stood like that for a while, hugging each other tightly.
Tomorrow, the two made their way to Nanzhou.
The Nalan Clan and the Ye Clan were still in Nanzhou. They could have settled in the Guanxuan Universe, but they chose not to do so. The main reason was that the two clans still had a very weak foundation.
Ye Xiao and Nalan Ming both knew that their clans were extremely weak compared to other clans in the Guanxuan Universe, even though they had Ye Guan and Nalan Jia.
The waters of the Guanxuan Universe were also murky and deep.
Their clans wouldn't be in any danger there, but their clan members would definitely get taken advantage of.
Ever since Nalan Jia and Ye Guan’s special statuses were made known to the world, their clan doors were almost torn down by the number of people who had come to the Nalan Clan and Ye Clan to propose marriage to their clan members.
Ye Xiao and Nalan Ming felt a sense of foreboding when the younger generation members of the two clans started to become arrogant, so they decided to keep their clans in Nanzhou to make sure that the clan would develop slowly but surely.
If they developed too quickly, it would come to bite them back in the end. This was especially so for some of the younger people in their clans who lacked self-awareness. They would easily get manipulated.
Ye Guan and Nalan Jia soon arrived at Nanzhou, and there was no grand welcome ceremony held for them. There wasn't anything else aside from a few elders who had come out to greet them.
Instead of returning to the Ye Clan, Ye Guan followed Nalan Jia to the Nalan Clan. The moment they arrived at the Nalan Clan’s gates, they saw that Nalan Ming had brought all of his clan members to welcome them.
Ye Guan was shocked. He turned to look at Nalan Jia.
Nalan Jia shook her head and said, “I didn’t know about this either.”
They walked up to Nalan Ming and the rest.
Then, the people behind Nalan Ming knelt down at the same time.
Nalan Ming was also about to kneel down to greet them, but Ye Guan stopped him in time with an awkward chuckle. "Please don't… You're my father-in-law, so you don't have to do something like this."
With that, Ye Guan swept his gaze across everyone else and said, “We’re all part of the same family, so please don’t stand on occasion. Please get up.”
The Nalan Clan members smiled, and they quickly got up.
Nalan Ming looked at Ye Guan with a smile and said, “Let’s go in and talk.”
Ye Guan nodded and said, “Okay.”
He held Nalan Jia’s hand and followed Nalan Ming into the manor.
Nalan Ming smiled brightly at Ye Guan in the grand hall.
Ye Guan suddenly got up and said, “Father-in-law, according to our contract, I was supposed to get married to Little Jia a long time ago, but it kept on getting delayed. Now that everything has been sorted out, I’d like to marry her as soon as possible.”
Nalan Jia was slightly taken aback.
Meanwhile, Nalan Clan members were extremely happy. Nalan Jia’s status as Ye Guan's wife was already cemented, but she had yet to marry Ye Guan, which made the Nalan Clan worry.
If Ye Guan were to get married to some other girl first, Nalan Jia’s status would be under threat. Thus, the Nalan Clan had been hoping to witness their marriage as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, they were the bride's family, so it was hard for them to bring it up first.[1] Fortunately, Ye Guan had brought it up first and voluntarily.
Great! Nalan Ming grinned and asked, “When would you like to hold the wedding?”
“In three days,” Ye Guan answered.
Nalan Ming froze and asked, “So soon?”
Ye Guan turned to look at Nalan Jia with a smile and said, “I don’t want to wait any longer.”
“Haha!” Nalan Ming laughed boisterously, and the Nalan Clan members laughed with him.
Nalan Jia blushed and smiled shyly. Ye Guan carved this moment in the retina of his eyes, as Nalan Jia simply looked incredibly beautiful at the moment.
“Where do you want to hold the wedding ceremony?” asked Nalan Ming.
Ye Guan said, “It’s up to Little Jia.”
All eyes fell on Nalan Jia. Nalan Jia stood up and walked up to Ye Guan. She looked at him and said, “Let’s have it here, in Ancient Desolate City. What do you think?”
Ye Guan smiled and agreed, “I want to get married here, too.”
He had grown up in Ancient Desolate City, so this place truly felt like home to him.
It would be great if he were to get married here as well.
Nalan Ming got up and exclaimed, “Let’s begin the arrangements, then!”
With that, he turned around and left. The other Nalan Clan members left together with him. Since Ye Guan wanted the wedding to happen in three days, they had to be quick. They had no time to waste.
Ye Guan plucked the white cloth sachet hanging from his waist and said softly, "I'm getting married, Mother. Will you come and be a host of our wedding?"
The cloth sachet quivered lightly.
Rumble!
The spacetime above the Ancient Desolate City was torn open, and a woman walked out of the resulting rift. The woman's figure blurred, and she appeared right in front of Ye Guan and Nalan Jia in the blink of an eye.
Ye Guan smiled and greeted, “Mother!”
Qin Guan’s eyes watered as she said, “Yes, I’ll be one of the hosts…”
Ye Guan asked, “Will Father come as well?”
Qin Guan smiled and said playfully, “He’s dead meat if he doesn’t show up.”
Ye Guan boisterously laughed.
Moments later, Qin Guan left. Three days wasn't a long time, so she had to make the necessary arrangements right away.
Her son was getting married!
The wedding had to be grand—No, it had to be magnificent!
Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Path Sword appeared in his hand. He looked down at the Path Sword and muttered, “Grandfather will definitely come, but Aunt… Master Pagoda, what do you think? Will Aunt attend my wedding?”
Little Pagoda was silent before saying, “Invite her first.”
Ye Guan hesitated as he looked down at the Path Sword and said, “Aunt, I’m getting married. Would you like to come to my wedding?”
He received no response, making him feel slightly disappointed.
Buzz!
The Path Sword abruptly trembled ever so slightly.
Ye Guan broke out into a grin.
He was looking forward to seeing his family members at his wedding.
Soon, the news about Ye Guan's marriage spread like wildfire throughout the All Words and the universes.
Ye Guan was the King of the Guanxuan Universe, and his recent exploits at the True Universe had propelled his reputation to exceed his father's reputation. In addition, he had recently fought the Heaven Seizing Clan, and he had emerged victorious against them, which became solid proof of his fierceness and bravery!
Meanwhile, the members and cultivators of the Heaven Seizing Clan finally emerged from the boundary in the Heaven Seizing Universe. The entire clan was in a mess after the supreme elites of the Guanxuan Universe had massacred most of them.
Their expressions were dark and gloomy; the humiliation dug deep.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao's eyes were cold as he stood quietly, seemingly in deep thought.
Just then, an old man appeared and bowed toward Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao before saying, “Clan Leader, I’ve just received news that Ye Guan will get married in three days.”
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao frowned. He looked bewildered as he said, “He's getting married?”
The old man nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Where?”
“In Nanzhou.”
“Not in the Xuzhen Battlefield?”
“No.”
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao’s eyes narrowed. A few seconds later, he smiled sinisterly as he muttered, “The heavens are on my side.”
Everyone looked at him, slightly confused.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao explained, “On that day, the supreme elites of the Guanxuan Universe will definitely stand on guard at the Xuzhen Battlefield to prevent anyone from the True Universe from trespassing and disturbing the wedding.
"In other words, those supreme elites won't be in Nanzhou, so if we launch an ambush…" Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao trailed off, but the sinister smile on his lips got wider.
A member of the Heaven Seizing Clan chimed in, “Clan Leader, shouldn't we be more careful? The Guanxuan Universe has proven that they are indeed quite powerful.”
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao asked, “Scared?”
“No, no!” the member of the Heaven Seizing Clan replied frantically.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao stared coldly at him and said, “We have to avenge our clan members, and we must also get our hands on the Yang Family’s Mad Demon Bloodline!”
The Heaven Seizing Clan member didn't dare to object, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement, saying, “Yes, we must take revenge!”
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao nodded and ordered, “Awaken ten more Great Time Sovereigns. This time, we'll bring down the Guanxuan Universe in one blow!”
He turned to look in the direction of the Guanxuan Universe. A menacing light fleeted in his eyes as he muttered, "I'll give the Guanxuan Universe a big surprise and turn that wedding into a funeral at the same time!"
1. According to traditional Chinese customs, usually the groom’s family initiates the marriage and organizes the wedding. ☜
