Parental Command, Matchmaker's Word

"Mother..." Wang Yuyan's eyes were teary. Why is this happening?

"Cousin, this marriage is a matter of parental arrangement and a matchmaker's word. You can rest assured and prepare for the wedding. A Bi, go help Miss Cousin pack her luggage. She'll be living with us from now on."

"Those who walk the jianghu don't care for so many formalities."

"Also, Cousin, it's not that Aunt doesn't love you. It's just that cousins are related by blood. Marrying within three generations of close relatives means your children might be born with deformities. You wouldn't want your future children to have crooked mouths, slanted eyes, or be prone to seizures, would you! Aunt is doing this for your own good. Cousins living together won't be happy." Li Hao smacked his lips and added a few more words.

"Nonsense, my grandparents were also cousin and cousin who got married." Wang Yuyan finally resisted for her own happiness.

"Yes, precisely because they were closely related, your father and my brother's mother died early. Short lifespan is also a manifestation of genetic defects. Besides, your father already had some issues to begin with." Li Hao pointed to his head, and anyone with eyes could understand what he meant.

"Then why am I fine?" Obviously, Wang Yuyan didn't believe Li Hao's nonsense.

"Whether you're fine or not, you'll have to ask Aunt. Aunt, tell me, why is Cousin Yuyan not having any problems?" Li Hao looked at Li Qingluo playfully.

"How can she not have problems? She's frail and weak, gasping for breath after just a few steps, just like your dead father." Li Qingluo was flustered. She couldn't possibly reveal in public that her daughter wasn't of the Wang family's bloodline!

"Miss Cousin, I think Second Young Master makes sense. In my hometown, a neighbor also married his cousin, and as a result, one son was blind and the other was deaf. And..." A Bi, true to her role as Li Hao's fangirl, immediately started helping him with his work.

"I don't believe you..." Wang Yuyan looked as if to say, I'm not an idiot. Don't think I don't know why I get breathless after a few steps – it's because I'm too well-endowed. You're just trying to fool me.

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. It's parental arrangement and a matchmaker's word. If you argue any more, we'll consummate the marriage right now," Li Qingluo said with a dark expression.

Daughter, if you don't marry him, your mother will suffer later.

Young people have a lot of energy. If I, your mother, get pregnant, neither of us will be able to show our faces! By then, what will this child call you? Sister or little mother...

And if you happen to get pregnant and give birth at the same time, your brother and child can even share some breast milk.

"I agree... Hehe, just trying to lighten the mood, don't all stare at me." Li Hao awkwardly scratched his head.

In the end, Wang Yuyan, unable to resist the stronger force, had to bid farewell to Murong Fu, the one in her heart, pack her things, and return to Canhe Manor with Li Hao.

Originally, Li Hao had strongly insisted that Li Qingluo accompany them, but Li Qingluo refused Li Hao's kind offer, citing inconvenience.

Finally, after two hours of Li Hao's persistent [persuasion] in Mrs. Li's bedroom yielded no results, he could only leave Mantuo Mountain Villa with Wang Yuyan, A Zhu, A Bi, and a piece of goose-yellow silk embroidered with two ducks.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully collecting the 516th ranked individual from the Compendium of Beautiful Women in the Martial World, the Duan family's princess: A Zhu. Reward statistics are being compiled...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Attribute-less Inner Force * 10, Bodhi Snake Gall * 9999, Villain Points * 1000]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the divine sword: Dragon Spring Treasure Sword]

[Congratulations to the host for completing 10 main quests within the specified time. The System has met the upgrade conditions. This System upgrade is estimated to take 12 hours. All System functions can be used normally during the upgrade process.]

[System upgrading...]

On the large boat returning to Canhe Manor, Li Hao stared blankly at A Zhu and A Bi, who were lying down.

Damn it, I was just bored and wanted to improve my cultivation, and the System upgraded.

Whatever, I can't be bothered to think about it. It's not like the System upgrading is bad for me. He scratched his head and habitually found two small diamond-shaped pieces of cloth among the clothes piled on the guest room floor.

One was pink, the other a light green. The pink one was embroidered with a cluster of roses, and the light green one with a plum blossom. The embroidery was exquisite and worth collecting and studying.

Li Hao habitually stored them in his System space. As for whether the two women would have any objections, that was outside his scope of consideration.

"Second Young Master, we're almost at the dock," A Bi said, looking at Li Hao, who was sleeping like a pig, her chest aching with anger.

She and A Zhu had felt sorry for Li Hao, who had watched the stars all night yesterday. After boarding the boat, they had voluntarily helped him massage away his fatigue.

As a result, this was how things were now.

"Uh, we're here already?" Li Hao asked groggily.

"Yes, Brother Deng is waiting for you at the dock. He seems to have something urgent," A Zhu and A Bi said while helping him dress.

"What could be so urgent for him?" Li Hao asked curiously.

"I don't know. Second Young Master, may I ask..." A Bi said hesitantly.

"Go ahead, I'm listening."

"Um, have you seen our undergarments! Both A Bi's and mine are missing." A Bi's pretty face turned red, and her small hands had nowhere to rest.

"Haven't seen them. Were you wearing them? I don't think I saw you wearing them!" Li Bai asked curiously.

System: I love watching the host tell blatant lies with a straight face the most.

"Young Master, how can you say that? You were the one who took them off, and you said they looked good too," A Zhu retorted to Li Hao's statement.

"Alright, alright, if I didn't see them, then you weren't wearing them," Li Hao said carelessly.

"It's really uncomfortable not wearing them, I feel like everything's jiggling around," A Zhu murmured.

"Anyway, they're all covered by clothes, and besides you, no one else will know. It's fine," Li Hao comforted the two girls, who were like newlyweds.

The previous experience had been very good, bringing both physical and mental pleasure, effectively relieving physical fatigue and improving sleep quality.

"Second Young Master, you're finally back. Ah, Miss Cousin, you're here too." As soon as Li Hao disembarked, Deng Baichuan, leading a large group of people, surrounded and protected Li Hao.

This is bad. Li Hao saw that the situation was not right. Could Deng Baichuan have found out I'm an imposter and brought people to cause trouble?

"Brother Deng," Wang Yuyan was in a bad mood and only greeted him verbally.

"Two young ladies, what happened to you?" Deng Baichuan asked curiously, looking at the two women supporting each other and walking with difficulty.

"It's nothing, Brother Deng, we just got leg cramps. Why did you bring so many people out today?" A Bi replied softly.

A Bi glanced at Li Hao, sighing. When will these injuries recover normally?
