The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 277: Chapter 149: You’re Anxious, But Others Are Even More Anxious (2)

I’ve heard that last time, the senior sister went together with the senior brother to the East Sea, but soon returned, and immediately entered into a closed death meditation, refusing to see anyone.

Xiao Yue could already tell that she absolutely regretted it, but... sigh, she ruined a good hand! My sister, if you hadn’t refused the senior brother back then, none of this would have happened.

Jiang Yiyi cluelessly approached, "Have you thought about when to have kids?"

"Do you guys even understand this stuff? How about I teach you?"

Gu Haitang’s fists clenched upon hearing this, is it necessary for you to teach? How do you plan to teach? With a personal demonstration?

Chu Xuan shook his head with amusement, "We’re all adults, no need for you to teach us."

"Oh by the way, please ask the great master to help me with something. Regarding the betrothal gifts, we still need the master to set up a protocol, could you first help me consult him?"

Jiang Yiyi seemed a bit annoyed, "Are you trying to find an excuse to send me away?"

Chu Xuan was slightly surprised, "You can tell?"

"I’m naive and kind, not stupid."

So Chu Xuan changed his approach, "Look, Haitang is so nice, the betrothal gift should be generous, right?"

Jiang Yiyi shook her head repeatedly, counting on her fingers, "You child, when you’re not in charge, you don’t know the price of firewood and rice. Just a symbolic gesture will do."

Gu Haitang couldn’t help but add, "My family will provide a dowry, a share from the sect and another from the family."

Jiang Yiyi pretended not to hear, "Anyway, I’ll handle this matter, you young ones don’t need to worry."

Then she hurried off to find Master Fuyunzi, determined not to let the Daoist Palace suffer any loss.

Seeing this, Chu Xuan smiled, then waved to beckon the little girl Yue over.

After not meeting for half a year, the little girl was still as lively and cute as ever, but she seemed a bit sour, "Congratulations to senior brother on finding his true love."

Chu Xuan rubbed her head, "What, you’re not satisfied with Haitang?"

Gu Haitang also smiled, looking towards the little junior sister.

Yue recalled last time’s events and was a bit cautious of this woman, fearing she would speak recklessly again, so she just said:

"Not dissatisfied, just, just senior brother, I still think it’s a bit too fast, how about delaying the wedding a bit?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, "I also thought that way at first, but after thinking about it again, the feelings between Haitang and I have naturally developed."

"Although I’m not in a hurry, since she wishes for it, having the wedding sooner is not a problem."

Upon hearing this, Gu Haitang couldn’t help but quietly hold his hand tightly...

Seeing that she couldn’t stop it, Yue reluctantly accepted, "About senior sister, I originally wanted to comfort her, but now she refuses to see anyone, senior brother, please visit her when you have time."

Chu Xuan nodded seriously, "I will."

And so, after sending the little junior sister off, the two continued their discussion.

Haitang planned to send a flying sword message to the sect, inviting Uncle Li Yucheng to officially come and discuss the marriage alliance.

Chu Xuan also needed to consult with his master about the formal proposal, just in time to visit his future mother-in-law, and perhaps ask Senior Brother Xuanjizi or Uncle Lu Jianxin to accompany him.

In short, a marriage between two major righteous sects is a grand affair, it can’t just be decided today and held tomorrow, the preparation process takes at least a few months.

That’s considered quick, given the long lifespan of cultivators, preparations can take over a decade.

Additionally, Gu Haitang needs to secretly inform her mother, meeting half a month later at the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion.

The so-called "just happening to visit" is something she made up, how could she guess that Chu Xuan would agree to the marriage upon returning? She could only hurriedly arrange the process.

...

The news of the inter-sect marriage quickly spread like wind in all directions.

After all, whether it’s the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion or the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace, since they’re handling the wedding, the preparations need to be early, like printing invitations, setting the venue, preparing betrothal gifts...

Various aspects require a lot of manpower, and messages easily leak out. Besides, this is a joyous event, there’s no need to hide it.

Even the Purple Heaven side intends to use this occasion to enhance the sect’s influence, thus the news was released early.

They even planned to send an invitation to Primordial Monarch Taixu. When Li Yucheng visited, he specifically asked Chu Xuan about it, trying to subtly inquire about the relationship between the two.

Chu Xuan calmly refused, saying nothing more.

Li Yucheng, being a clever person, refrained from mentioning it again.

He continued to discuss some interest-exchange issues with Master Fuyunzi, even talking about which sect would have "priority in taking disciples" if children were born in the future.

Hearing this, Chu Ting found it amusing, as they hadn’t even laid the groundwork yet, and they were already arguing over this. He simply left it to the master to slowly debate with Realist Li.

...

At the Li’an Demon Sect, since Chu Xuan left, Qingqing secluded herself in the Scripture Pavilion.

Originally, Yao Yufei ordered a renovation of Yama Palace, hoping Qingqing would move there to live, but she had a psychological aversion to it, preferring to carry the demon fetus with her rather than live in that ghostly place.

Despite other matters, when it comes to the demon fetus, Yao Yufei indeed didn’t trick Qingqing; now it’s very obedient and no longer needs nutrients from the "mother."

Even last time, when Chu Xuan went to rescue Qingqing, had it been someone else, she could’ve stopped the demon fetus from devouring; unfortunately, Chu Xuan was too delectable, and it simply couldn’t bear to stop...
