Marriage Worries

Wang Xuan looked again and again, his Spiritual Heavenly Eye fully activated, but he couldn't detect anything unusual. His parents were perfectly normal, ordinary and unremarkable. He felt relieved; all sorts of troubles had arisen recently, making him overthink things.

He told his parents not to refer to Fang Yuzhu that way in public anymore, because she was a Super Peerless with a powerful background that was hard to explain.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I understand. She certainly won't talk about superhumans outside. But she's a really nice person. We chatted all night and got along very well."

"What family heirloom do we have? I don't know anything about it." Wang Xuan guessed that Fang Yuzhu was also amused and exasperated before accepting the gift.

Mother Wang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Have you forgotten? My bracelet, my favorite one, it's so beautiful, black jade with a sky full of stars, a rare gem that I've never seen before."

"Isn't that something you picked up from a street stall?" Wang Xuan asked suspiciously.

He recalled that when he was a teenager, his parents, as always, gave him a week's allowance to go to and from school on his own, and then the two of them went on a pleasant trip.

When he returned, his mother was overjoyed, saying that she had found a treasure at a street stall in a remote town and would keep it as a family heirloom.

When Wang Xuan took one look, he immediately knew that his mother had been deceived. There was no such thing as black jade covered with sparkling white spots. It was obviously a glass-filled craft, which was only pretty to look at.

But then his father, going against his conscience, said that Mother Wang had incredibly sharp eyesight, managing to find him after searching high and low. At that moment, Wang Xuan didn't even want to say anything more; they were showing off their affection in front of their son—unbelievable!

He was a little embarrassed, having given away a Super Peerless fake; even though he wasn't there, he felt ashamed for the two of them.

"Son, what kind of look is that? Fang Yuzhu said it's very beautiful, like a deep universe dotted with stars, and she put it on her wrist."

"Wait a minute, she put it on?" Wang Xuan was too surprised, and then sighed. She just knew how to behave and didn't want to make things awkward.

"Of course, we hit it off, so I gave her a gift. Why didn't she wear it? That's called being socially adept. Don't become so detached from worldly affairs that you've forgotten how to interact with others," Mother Wang scolded him.

"The world is a bit chaotic in this extraordinary realm. I wonder if what Master Wukong said is accurate," Wang Xuan's father said.

"Anyway, if anything unexpected happens, I'll have to get the bracelet back. I told her with a smile that it's a family heirloom!" Mother Wang said.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Wang Xuan felt it was too embarrassing to keep mentioning a broken bracelet, so he rummaged through the Blessed Land Fragment.

In the end, he chose a crystal bracelet and a purple bangle, both of which were rare treasures. He handed them to his mother, saying that she would no longer have to worry about them. These were true divine objects, which could be used for self-defense and passed down through generations.

"It's just a pretty face, all that shines. It's nothing compared to mine, like comparing heaven and earth!" Mother Wang's evaluation made Wang Xuan want to vomit blood. How could they even be compared? This was a mythical item, and a rare treasure at that.

"Indeed, it's far inferior to that black bracelet covered with sparkling white specks." His father nodded in agreement.

"If you don't like it, just keep it at home, don't throw it away. This is an extraordinary item!" Wang Xuan felt exhausted, but he still had to make it clear, otherwise his mother might just give it to the neighbor next door.

"Also, let's not talk about Fang Yuzhu. I know a girl at New Star who is my college classmate. Her name is Zhao Qinghan..." Wang Xuan briefly explained the situation.

He needs to correct this, otherwise it's really inappropriate for his parents to keep mentioning his Super Peerless. He's afraid it will attract attention and cause trouble later.

"Wasn't your girlfriend in college named Ling Wei? Oh, right, you two broke up later."

Wang Xuan really wanted to take them to the station as soon as possible. What kind of mother is this? It's heartbreaking, like a knife stabbing her son.

"How far have you gotten?" his father asked.

Wang Xuan said a few words briefly.

"More than friends, less than lovers? This kind of situation isn't very secure. Isn't everyone saying that myths will eventually dry up and everything will return to the ordinary? Think about it, the tycoons will definitely return from the Depths of Starry Sky. The girl's status and family background are high and mighty. At that time, how will you, an ordinary guy who has lost his divine halo, is getting weaker and weaker, has no extraordinary abilities, and needs to go to work on time, pursue her? You won't even be able to get close to her."

"Can you please not be so materialistic?"

"I'm just being cautious and giving you a heads-up. This isn't just about the two of you; it also involves her family, relatives, friends, and the broader environment. There's a powerful trend at play, sometimes beyond our control. After the extinction of the supernatural, the power of conglomerates and capital will be amplified like never before. Don't think things are all that great!"

Then, Mother Wang added, "Of course, I was just saying it casually; it's all just unnecessary worry."

"Then you'd better not say it casually!" Wang Xuan felt that after being stabbed so many times today, he just hoped they would go home as soon as possible.

"Actually, after hearing what you said, I think that girl is pretty good. As your mother, I will definitely support you in pursuing her!"

"Which side do you support?" Wang Xuan rubbed his temples, not wanting to discuss this issue with them anymore.

"Are you stupid? You didn't catch any of them, of course you would have chased them all!" the Queen Mother said matter-of-factly.

"In ancient times, these things wouldn't have been a big deal, but times have definitely changed," his father said.

Wang Xuan was stunned. Other parents were afraid that their children would go astray, so why was his mother instilling values that were inconsistent with the present day?

He finally saw the two off and watched them get into the car.

Then, he couldn't help but use his Spiritual Heavenly Eye to observe, and everything was perfectly normal. Clearly, his thoughts were absurd and he was obviously overthinking things.

"What was the background of that man and woman last night? After Fang Yuzhu, Zhang Daoling, Yanyan and the others left, are there still such powerful people in the Old Earth?"

In particular, a pair of supreme experts who can walk together like this should be able to be identified immediately by anyone who has looked throughout the Immortal Realm.

By now, he had a certain understanding of the peerless powerhouse behind the Great Curtain; even if he had never met him, he had heard of his name.

"There aren't many female powerhouses. Apart from Fang Yuzhu, Yanyan, and Ling Luanxian, the remaining three or four have absolutely no connection to me. I've never met them, let alone had any dealings with them. They shouldn't be saving me. There's simply no one who fits the bill."

Afterwards, Wang Xuan went to Huang Ming's teahouse in Ancheng. Business was really good. Especially when he went up to the third floor, he saw some familiar faces, such as Zhou Qinghuang, Gu Mingxi, and Cao Qingyu.

Even the Mo Si was here. Upon seeing him, his handsome face was full of smiles as he greeted him warmly.

Wang Xuan really wanted to tell him that the Demon Emperor did not reside deep within his mind; he had mistaken the person for someone else!

"Forget it, let nature take its course. If I really tell him, I might end up fighting with him."

This place has become a gathering place for extraordinary people, all of whom are mythical figures; there are almost no ordinary people on this level.

Not long after, the schizophrenic patient, Qi Liandao, arrived. He was the son of the Demon Ancestor and vowed to devour his own father and his own original body.

Wang Xuan's heart stirred, and he beckoned to him, inviting him to have some tea.

Qi Liandao originally wanted to turn around and leave. In his opinion, Wang Xuan was the one who was Mental Illness and crazy, capable of anything, and dared to tear apart Zheng Jueshi and Heng Jun at the same time in the real world.

He believed that Wang Fengzi was just lucky; Zheng Jueshi had mysteriously died in the Immortal Realm, otherwise he would have dealt with this madman long ago.

Finally, the two sat down together and talked about everything under the sun, spanning five thousand years of history, from mythology to humanities and technology, and then to art and the changes in aesthetics from ancient times to the present.

In short, it's just nonsense!

The two talked about everything, naturally mentioning famous figures from ancient times, which also brought Zhou Qinghuang, Mo Si, and Gu Mingxi into the conversation.

Wang Xuan naturally mentioned the special Inner Scenery Realm. Now many people believe that he opened the Inner Scenery Realm as soon as he stepped into the extraordinary realm, and was only slightly inferior to those who had special Inner Scenery Realm.

Mentioning these things now is perfectly normal and won't cause any taboos.

Wang Xuan wanted to know some details about the three people in history who opened the special Inner Scenery Realm, and to understand their past!

Because he seriously doubted the identity of that terrifying shadow from last night!

"What a pity, those people all died too tragically at a young age. Now even their friends from back then have grown up, some of them are already peerless powerhouses in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan felt a heaviness in his heart and became even more wary of that shadow.

There was no other choice. In this era, in the end, one still had to rely on oneself to face all threats! He secretly reminded himself that the future was not scary. As long as he became stronger fast enough, he could break through all laws!

Not long after, Wang Xuan saw that the Little White Tiger — Round-faced girl —was also in Ancheng and appeared on the third floor of the Zh Xian Tea House.

"You liar, there's something wrong with the crystal you gave me!" Wang Xuan stared at her immediately. There was no complete Demon Immortal Dance in that crystal; it was just a hoax.

"Crystals must be inspected carefully before leaving the counter; we are not responsible for anything after you leave." The Round-faced girl raised her chin, looking like she was determined to renege on her debt.

"Do you think you're a bank?!" Wang Xuan glared at her.

"Hmph!" The Round-faced girl pouted proudly and turned her back on him, but then she slowly turned back and teased, "Half a month ago, didn't you go to outer space with the Demon Lord? Didn't you invite her to jump in front of you?"

"Little White Tiger, shut up." Wang Xuan was genuinely guilty; how could he say something like that?

However, looking at the Round-faced girl, he thought of something. In the alien space in outer space, the Little White Tiger went there with a mission and even wanted to cooperate with Wang Xuan for help.

Thinking about this, he was shaken. He also thought about the man and woman from last night and wondered if he was about to solve the case.

"Come over and have some tea, it's on me," he transmitted telepathically.

"It's not like I can't afford to drink it myself. Let alone this lousy tea, even the First Immortal Tea of Heng Jun's family, the Demon Lord once took me to pick it!" Her round face was full of pride.

"You said that the Demon Lord's parents once tried to return from the Immortal Realm by passing through that strange Mental World adjacent to another outer space..."

With a whoosh, the Little White Tiger came over, shoved Qi Liandao aside, and said, "Make way, don't you have any sense of propriety!"

The Demon Ancestor's Progeny cursed in his heart, thinking how utterly disrespectful he had become. This white tiger... well, she was the Demon Lord's most trusted confidante, and seemed to hold a higher position in the demon race than he, the Demon Ancestor's Second Son.

The Round-faced girl moved a chair, shooed Qi Liandao away, and sat down herself. She stared at Wang Xuan and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"I saw a man and a woman, very strong, but they were both in shadow form..." He said a few things, but he couldn't tell her everything.

"What shadow? I thought you'd found a real clue," the Little White Tiger said, displeased.

"Those two shadows are no weaker than the current peerless masters, and their identities don't match those of the existing supreme experts!" Wang Xuan solemnly reminded.

"I'll tell her when the Demon Lord returns," the Round-faced girl said lazily, slowly sipping her tea, not in a hurry.

Seeing her like this, Wang Xuan felt it was necessary to find her something to do!

Do you still remember the Ghost Monk?

Instantly, the Little White Tiger bristled and stood up abruptly. How could she have forgotten!

"Where is he?!"

Back in the Inner Scenery Realm, when the Ghost Monk saw the Demon Lord Yanyan, he turned and ran without saying a word. But when he saw the Little White Tiger alone, he became incredibly brave, rushed up and started beating Little White Tiger mercilessly, almost smashing her to pieces, and finally nearly dragging her away.

"He's in Ping City, his Buddhist name is Wukong," Wang Xuan said leisurely, blowing on his hot tea.

"Aww, I'm going to settle the score with him! Ahhh, I'm not done with him yet!" The round-faced white tiger turned and ran away at incredible speed, disappearing in an instant.

On that day, Ping City, the White Tiger War God Monk, causing a great commotion, but in the end, the White Tiger was no match for him and fled.

The Ghost Monk didn't dare to actually pursue her, as he couldn't afford to offend the demon lord behind her, and even wanted to resolve their old grudges.

"Esteemed benefactor, some time ago, several powerful figures visited this Old Monk, inquiring about the Demon Lord's whereabouts. They were quite concerned and even asked whether the Demon Lord was doing well in the Immortal Realm and whether he had ever had a love interest. It was very strange..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Baihu, who had just failed to vent his anger and was beaten up again, was already furious, but after hearing this, he still ran back.
