Betrothal Gifts and Congratulatory Gifts?
To Wu Rang Nong Zhu's surprise, the Wangyue Sect had a closely guarded secret: any lazy man could have children outside the sect, but if the daughter had the aptitude for cultivation, she must be brought back to the Wangyue Sect become a disciple. If it was a son, the Wangyue Sect would not accept him; he would have to be left to the male heir to carry on the family line! This was because the Wangyue Sect never accepted male disciples.
Fairy Qionghua told Nong Zhu with great remorse that she would take her daughter back to the Wangyue Sect to cultivate, and that Nong Zhu should find another virtuous wife. As for her, she would have to continue the great cause of the Wangyue Sect sooner or later, and it was impossible for her to spend her life with a mere mortal like him.
One can imagine how furious Nong Zhu was at the time. She had spent half her life carefree among women, and finally, after settling down and giving her heart to Ran, she never expected this outcome. She felt betrayed.
Besides, given his cultivation level and status in the Cultivation World, how could he tolerate his daughter joining a mere sect like the Wangyue Sect? It was utterly ridiculous. Did he think that with his Spirit Transformation stage cultivation, he couldn't even train a daughter as well as a small sect like the Wangyue Sect? Furthermore, Nong Zhu would never allow her daughter to follow in her mother Fairy Qionghua's footsteps. The sect leader of the Wangyue Sect was nothing to Nong Zhu.
Nong Zhu, Nongzhu wanted to storm the Wangyue Sect and raze the entire Wangyue Sect to the ground. But then she thought that would be too easy on Fairy Qionghua; she had deceived her so badly.
A man who is not easily moved by love, once he falls in love and discovers he has been deceived, faces terrible consequences. Especially when the man is exceptionally capable and ruthless. Nong Zhu, vengeful and vengeful, decides to make the Fairy Qionghua taste the bitterness of being deceived, making her regret it for the rest of her life.
Fairy Qionghua knew that Nong Zhu would be unhappy with her actions, but with her daughter in her hands, Nong Zhu, a mere mortal, couldn't take her away. She kept trying to persuade Nong Zhu, saying it was for their daughter's own good, to prevent her from ending up like him, a mere mortal for life. Nong Zhu just kept sneering!
But what she never expected was that Nong Zhu was actually a legendary Spirit Transformation stage expert. Taking her daughter away from her would be an easy task.
So, one evening at sunset, the Fairy Qionghua merely went out to fetch something. When she returned, she found her daughter, who had been on the couch, gone. She immediately guessed it was Nong Zhu and began searching everywhere. But for someone of her cultivation level to find Nong Zhu was nothing short of a pipe dream.
From then on, Fairy Qionghua never saw the man named Xiaoyao again, and her infant daughter also disappeared. Nong Zhu naturally took her daughter back to the Purple Bamboo Grove and carefully raised her. From then on, the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest had a new female disciple named Ziyi.
For her daughter's sake, Nong Zhu completely gave up her philandering ways. Of course, the Fairy Qionghua also played a part in this; she broke her heart so deeply that she resolved never to touch a woman again!
Yue Qianchou was speechless, his mouth agape, unsure what to say. So there was such a hidden story. It took him a while to recover, he swallowed hard, scratched his stiff chin, and looked at the dazed Nong Zhu, utterly speechless.
He initially thought it was Nong Zhu, that womanizer who started relationships and then abandoned her, getting her pregnant and having a child before running away without taking responsibility. Who would have thought that this most handsome man in the world was dumped by his sister? Unbelievable!
Looking back, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder Nong Zhu wanted him to find an opportunity to tell Ziyi about this. Just imagine Ziyi's bizarre background. How could Nong Zhu possibly tell Ziyi?
Even if I were to tell Ziyi, I would probably have to find a time when Ziyi would be receptive.
Damn it! Ziyi wouldn't be so foolish as to accuse me of talking nonsense and then try to kill me!
Wait a minute! That's not right! In that case, it would be more appropriate to have the man in Ziyi, who is my future husband, relay the message! Why did he come after me? This is just asking for trouble! Yue Qianchou pinched his chin, his expression twitching.
"Ahem! Um... that Senior Nong Zhu, I think, I think..."
Nong Zhu slowly turned around and asked, "What do you think?" Yue Qianchou scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "I think... well... these kinds of things! I think it's best to let Ziyi's closest person tell her. Think about it! How can anyone else find a good opportunity for Ziyi to accept? Only her closest person can find an opportunity. You know what I mean! For example, the man Ziyi is going to marry, yes! If I were to pass on the message, it wouldn't be appropriate! To be honest, I'm a little scared!"
"We'll see when the time comes! Just remember this for now. By the way," Nong Zhu chuckled coldly, "The man Ziyi is going to marry also has three or four women. I'm really worried about Ziyi, afraid she'll suffer in the future. What do you think we should do?"
Damn it! You might as well just marry Ziyi to me. Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? Yue Qianchou thought to himself. But then he thought, maybe in Nong Zhu's eyes, his future son-in-law was one of their own, while he, Yue Qianchou, was the outsider.
Feeling somewhat indignant, he steeled himself and patted his chest, saying, "That's easy. Just say the word, and I'll find a way to handle it perfectly. It's just three or four women! Killing a woman..." Chuan continued, "I guarantee I'll do it without anyone knowing. Your son-in-law will definitely suspect something, so from now on he'll have to live a quiet life with Ziyi. If he dares to take another concubine, as soon as I find out, I guarantee I'll make sure Ziyi is one of a kind. If he keeps doing it, I don't mind making him a eunuch."
"Uh," Nong Zhu's lips twitched violently, and he smacked his lips, saying, "I believe that. You're the best at this kind of petty theft. You'll definitely be able to do it without a problem."
These words displeased Yue Qianchou. What did he mean by being best at petty theft? He pursed his lips and said, "Senior Nong Zhu, I never do such things. I only do what I'm told, even if it's difficult. That's called keeping promises and valuing integrity!"
"Alright! It's enough that you have the intention." Nong Zhu waved her hand and asked again, "If I want to marry my daughter to this person, shouldn't they send betrothal gifts first? How much do you think I should accept in exchange for marrying my daughter to him?"
"Yes, yes." Yue Qianchou nodded repeatedly. "You're joking, Mr. Nongzhu is famous Cultivation World. Your daughter is even more precious than a golden branch and jade leaf. How can it be acceptable if the betrothal gifts are not generous? By the way, is your future son-in-law's family well-off?"
After a moment's thought, Nong Zhu slowly said, "Yinshi has plenty of treasures; any one of them would be a rare gem. However, that guy is a miser, so it might be difficult to get him to produce a substantial gift."
Any one of these items could be a priceless treasure? Yue Nianchou's eyes lit up as he listened, and he swallowed hard.
He clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking, "I knew it! The son-in-law that Nong Zhu has taken a liking to must come from a very powerful family. I wonder which guy he is. I'll have to try and build a relationship with him someday. Even if he's a real tightwad, I'll still try to get some money out of him."
"Damn it!" Yue Qianchou said indignantly, "It's true that the richer people are, the stingier they are. They won't even spend a lot of money on a wedding gift. It's understandable for a poor person like me, but why won't they spend money even though they have it? How can you swallow this? Tell me whose bastard this is, and I'll get revenge for you sooner or later."
He was already starting to plan in his mind that after messing with the Tianping Chamber of Commerce, his next target would be Nong Zhu's wealthy son-in-law.
"Speaking of him, I'm so angry, let's not talk about it! By the way, what about you?" Nong Zhu asked.
"Uh... what's wrong with me?" Yue Ganchou didn't know why he asked this question.
With Nong Zhu said, "I'm marrying off my daughter, aren't you going to give me a gift?"
Damn it! You can't even get your son-in-law's betrothal gifts yourself, so why are you asking me to give them? Is this how you ask guests for gifts before the wedding even starts? Do you think I'm easy to bully? Yue Qianchou pouted and said with a forced smile, "That person came in such a hurry that they didn't bring anything nice with them. How about this, when Ziyi gets married, I will definitely bring gifts to congratulate her."
"No, this gift must be received before the wedding," Nong Zhu said seriously.
"Accepting congratulatory gifts in advance?" Yue Qianchou scratched his head, looking suspicious. "How come I didn't know there was such a rule in the Cultivation World?"
"This is the rule of my South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest." Nong Zhu's face hardened, then she thought of a suitable reason to explain, "Besides, you're very busy, and I won't even know where to notify you when the time comes. It's better to accept the gift in advance while I'm here. You're not going to tell me that you're so stingy that you won't even give a gift when Ziyi gets married!"
"Hehe! Do you think I'm that stingy? I was just thinking about what to give as a gift." Yue Qianchou replied perfunctorily, but considering his close relationship with Ziyi, giving an ordinary gift would really be inappropriate.
He subconsciously touched the Storage Bag at his waist, only to find it gone. He then remembered that Nong Zhu had dragged it away, and it was now lying on the ground. Nong Zhu had already checked it, so taking anything out of it now would be a bit unreasonable.
He then grinned at Nong Zhu. He reached into his shirt and pulled out another Storage Bag from under his arm. Nong Zhu's eye twitched; he thought to himself, "So he really does have Storage Bag hidden on him."
Yue Qianchou reached into his Storage Bag and pulled out a sword with an ancient design. He examined it closely. His regretful expression quickly turned decisive, and he said crisply, "This sword is the same style as the one given to my master; both are treasures of that immortal. Since Ziyi is getting married, I have nothing more to say but to offer a generous gift. Senior Nong Zhu, you won't think I'm stingy anymore!"
He then presented the item with both hands, saying, "My sincere wishes to Ziyi for a happy and fulfilling life."
Nong Zhu's eyes lit up. He took the sword and touched it repeatedly, examining it closely. It was indeed no less impressive than the one he had given to Bi Changchun. He couldn't help but exclaim "What a fine sword!" before nodding with some satisfaction and saying, "You still have some conscience, sir."
