Daughter-Marrying Syndrome
"You're just a bunch of trash! You know perfectly well I'm Bi Changchun's 'mastermind,' so how could I possibly scare you?" Yue Qianchou thought to himself. But aloud he said arrogantly, "Just a bunch of scum, no need to bring up my master."
That arrogance made Nong Zhu take a second look. She thought to herself, "Like master, like disciple. This kid may not be a very good person, but he is quite similar to Bi Changchun in some ways. No wonder Old Bi took him as his disciple."
When Nong Zhu heard Yue Qianchou say that he had killed more than two thousand cultivators without even blinking, she secretly spat in admiration. He was indeed as ruthless as Old Bi.
Upon hearing about the Ascension Platform, Nong Zhu was dumbfounded, shaking her head in disbelief. "The legendary Ascension Platform is actually in the Misty Forest! Unbelievable! The Seven-Colored Mist is called Spirit Transformation Smoke, tsk tsk! Even an immortal's cultivation level can't resist it. Truly vicious. By the way, why aren't you afraid of Spirit Transformation Smoke?"
"Who knows? You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Yue Qianchou said, munching on his chopsticks with something in his mouth. He stammered, "I reckon it might be related to the cultivation Method Formula I'm practicing. My master said that the Method Formula I'm practicing is the Supreme Saint Method Formula in the world, so a mere Spirit Transformation Smoke is naturally no problem for me."
"The Supreme Saint Method Formula in the world?" Nong Zhu asked with envy, the precious sword slung over her shoulder. She coaxed, "Yue Qianchou, what's the name of your Method Formula? Could you show Method Formula to me?"
"Go ask my master, I can't make the decision." Yue Qianchou smoothly brought up Bi Changchun.
As expected, Nong Zhu was speechless. However, Nong Zhu's gaze fell on the fine steel bracelet on Yue Qianchou's left wrist. He tossed his sword into his Storage Bag, and in Yue Qianchou could even understand what was happening, he discovered the bracelet was gone. He immediately roared, "Nong Zhu, what do you want? Give it back to me!"
Nong Zhu ignored him, took the bracelet, and examined it with his Divine Sense. He clicked his tongue and said, "You're really lucky, kid! You're covered in treasures! My god! A storage bracelet used by immortals, there's probably only one like it in the world. What a treasure! By the way, where's the stuff inside? Where did you hide it? Show it to me."
Yue Qianchou slammed his chopsticks on the table, making a loud clanging sound, and sneered, "Show them to you? What if you snatch them away? Who am I supposed to ask for them back?"
"Look at what you're saying, do you think I'm that kind of person? Take it out and let me see. I've seen a lot in my life, the only thing missing is the immortal Nong Zhu winking and making faces." His eyes were wandering all over Yue Qianchou, seemingly looking for a place to hide something. Recalling the scene of Yue Qianchou taking out a sword from his Storage Bag earlier, he flashed away without hesitation and grabbed the Storage Bag.
However, after shaking it for a while, there were only a few Spirit Stone. Nong Zhu asked in astonishment, "You kid didn't hide several Storage Bag on you again, did you?"
"I'm afraid of running into someone like you. You've already hidden away your valuables, "Yue Qianchou said disdainfully, holding out his hand. "Give me back the bracelet."
"Why be so stingy! You've got a whole bunch of treasures, and you don't even need this. Give it to me to play with for a while, and I'll return it to you later." Nong Zhu played with the bracelet with obvious delight, already slipping it onto his wrist, looking at it from left to right with great satisfaction. To be honest, he really liked it. Besides being from the Immortal Realm, it was also quite practical; what cultivator wouldn't like such a large storage space?
"Give it back to me later? Who knows when that will be!" Yue Qianchou looked on coldly. He said indifferently, "I can give it to you, but you have to exchange it for something. I heard from Ziyi that the purple bamboo in the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest can generate Spiritual Qi. I want to dig up half of it and take it with me."
"What?" Nong Zhu suddenly woke up and said, "No, not even one." Hmph! I knew you loved bamboo like your life. Yue Qianchou raised an eyebrow and said, "Now you know who's stingy! I traded treasures from the Immortal Realm for your bamboo, so I'm the one who's at a disadvantage, but you won't even give me a single one."
Nong Zhu smiled awkwardly, touched the bracelet on her wrist, and suddenly sighed softly, saying, "It's not that I want it, I just want to find a unique treasure in this world to give to Ziyi as her dowry."
"Uh..." Yue Qianchou looked at his somewhat dejected appearance, which didn't seem like he was lying. He opened his mouth, paused for a long time, and asked with great curiosity, "As a dowry for Ziyi? Does that mean Ziyi is getting married? Who is she marrying? Which family's young master is he? How could he catch your eye, Mr. Nongzhu? Tell me, and see if I know him. If I don't know him, at least let me know in advance, so I don't go too far and offend my own people."
"Bang!" Nong Zhu his hand on the table and half-roared, "Who she marries is none of your business!"
"Damn it! They stole my stuff and now they're turning on me!" Yue Qianchou was also furious. He slammed his hand on the table, his voice even louder. "What's it to me? Give me back my bracelet! Why should you take my precious item as your daughter's dowry when you're getting married? What kind of logic is that?"
"Who cares about your treasures? Even if you bring ten thousand treasures, they wouldn't compare to my Ziyi." Nong Zhu's face was stern.
Yue Qianchou caught the bracelet with one hand, his arm immediately going numb from the shock. He gritted his teeth and slipped it back onto his wrist. He sneered, "It's fine if you don't care. I don't have so many treasures I don't know what to do with them. I don't believe anyone would complain about having too many treasures."
While the two were arguing, Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu downstairs were chatting with Man Hu and others, completely unaware that the two upstairs had already fallen out.
After the argument, Nong Zhu sat in the private room, his face blank and silent.
"You old bastard, you're going to be the death of me!" Yue Qianchou grabbed another pair of chopsticks and started eating with gusto, thoroughly enjoying himself. The only sound in the room was his loud, smacking chewing.
"Uh!" It wasn't until Yue Qianchou let out a burp that Nong Zhu came to her senses and looked at Yue Qianchou helplessly, saying, "Yue Qianchou, tell me the truth, what do you think of the Ziyi?"
Damn it! It's not like she's marrying me, so what do I care if she's good or bad? Yue Qianchou licked the grease off his lips, put down his chopsticks, and shook his head at Nong Zhu. He thought to himself, "This handsome old man is suffering from 'marriage syndrome.' I'm not going to argue with a patient like you."
She picked up the teacup, gulped it down, and rinsed her mouth, washing away the residue. Tilting her head, she silently pondered for a moment. Looking at his uncouth and unrefined manner, Nong Zhu felt a surge of resentment. She thought to herself, "My whole life, I've been unparalleled in elegance in the Cultivation World, and now I've run into this guy. Karma!"
Yue Qianchou thought for a while, then suddenly stuck his head out and asked suspiciously, "Ziyi really getting married? How come I didn't hear a thing before?"
"Hmm! A daughter is like a tree that cannot be kept at home forever. I can't keep her here forever." Nong Zhu nodded slightly, then asked expressionlessly, "Judging from your expression, you seem to care about Ziyi quite a bit. What? What are your thoughts on her getting married?"
Yue Qianchou rolled her eyes, giving him a "What could I possibly think?" look. But she still clicked her tongue and said, "A daughter grows up and leaves home! That's true. You finally understand, that's the way it is. Seriously, who are you going to marry? Tell me first. You know, I often get into conflicts. If I run into your son-in-law and go too far, I might accidentally hurt him..." "Well, you know what I mean." But in her heart, she was thinking, "Damn, I wonder whose young master is this? Nong Zhu has taken a liking to must have some powerful background! I can use Nong Zhu to build a good relationship with him; he might be a valuable ally later. Wait! Why did Nong Zhu suddenly come to the Biyuan Kingdom? And now she's inexplicably talking about marrying in Ziyi. Could it be that Wen Lanfeng has a son or grandson? I've never heard of that! Uh, it shouldn't be a grandson. If it were, wouldn't the generational gap between Nong Zhu and Wen Lanfeng be lowered by a generation for nothing!"
If Nong Zhu and Ziyi knew about this idea, they would probably torture this guy to death on the spot!
"Oh!" Nong Zhu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You're quite cunning. You didn't already have some designs on Ziyi, and now you're trying to get information out of me about who Ziyi is going to marry so you can harm her!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Qianchou was stunned, then clapped his hands and exclaimed, "My goodness! Senior Nong Zhu, you really dare to think of such things. But don't overthink it, let me tell you this!"
Yue Qianchou stood up and said frankly, "Ziyi, she is indeed quite good-looking. Since she is getting married, I will honestly admit that I did have a little bit of a crush on her back then. But don't misunderstand, it wasn't anything romantic. It was purely because she was pretty. Well... we're all men, you know, and I was a little tempted."
Seeing that Nong Zhu was showing signs of going crazy, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't misunderstand, let me finish what I have to say."
Yue Qianchou shook his head and sighed, "Let me put it this way! I had that thought at first, but it quickly faded away. To be honest, I'm not afraid for you to know, I have three or four women, not just Furong. Because I know that even if I had feelings for Ziyi, you definitely wouldn't agree to Ziyi having several women with a man like me. Plus, given your relationship with my master, I really can't afford to offend you, so I naturally gave up that idea early on. So, don't worry, no matter who Ziyi marries, based on our relationship, I will only sincerely wish her well and would never do anything to harm your son-in-law. That whole thing is a bit too far-fetched. After all, I'm an upright man, and my character isn't as bad as you think!"
"Crack." Nong Zhu's hand, which had somehow found its way to the teacup on the table, suddenly crushed it to pieces. Startled, Yue Qianchou asked, "What's wrong?"
Nong Zhu's face turned ashen, and she trembled uncontrollably as she said, "What did you say? You said you have more than just Furong, you have three or four women? Is what you said true?"
