Betrothed as Infants

"If you refuse, you won't be leaving this room today!"

"This is my home."

"Then I'll use the power behind me to make it impossible for you to move an inch!"

"I am a disciple of the Ask Dao Sect."

"Then I'll go to the Ask Dao Sect you forced a woman into prostitution!"

"Spreading rumors can land you in jail."

"Then the two people you brought today are in danger!"

"Please proceed. One of them is our Sect Master's fourth disciple, and the other is the eldest son of the Meng family."

"Then I'll..."

Mr. and Mrs. Li were surprised by Qin Yanyan's fierce resistance and didn't know what to do. Although they were elders, their cultivation level was the lowest among everyone present.

Su Yiren pressed down on Qin Yanyan's shoulders from behind, trying to persuade her daughter, "Yanyan, I know you're having a hard time accepting this engagement right now, why don't you try to get to know Haoran? Maybe you..."

"There's no such thing as a certainty!" Qin Yanyan shook off Su Yiren's hand, her anger like that of a little lion.

"Mom, did you get my consent before you arranged this marriage?"

"You weren't even born yet back then."

"You never told me about the engagement after I was born, and you only told me a few days ago!" Qin Yanyan was thunderstruck when she recalled her gentle and refined mother suddenly telling her about the engagement a few days ago.

You should have said so earlier!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so clueless as to not even have a threat in mind.

Su Yiren was speechless, and Qin Yanyan, seeing her mother's reaction, became even angrier. "In short, I do not agree to this marriage!"

Qin Yanyan pointed at Li Haoran: "I'm giving you some face. You should quickly rescind the agreement, and this matter will be over!"

Li Haoran also got angry. If they had negotiated amicably and the other party was unwilling to fulfill the engagement, then it could be dissolved. But this person came up so arrogantly and lawlessly. "You think you can just dissolve it like that?"

He said, enunciating each word clearly, "I'm telling you, I will never break off this engagement in this lifetime!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanyan immediately flew into a rage.

"This engagement is off today, whether you like it or not! Heavenly Talisman!"

Qin Yanyan took out a talisman, which transformed into a beam of white light and shot towards Li Haoran with a whoosh.

Li Haoran put on his boxing gloves and punched the white light away.

"Let's go, let's go, let's watch from a distance." Lu Yang called out to everyone to move away from this spot.

"Shouldn't we stop them?" Li's parents and Su Yiren were all worried about the two sides in the conflict.

"They're both hot-tempered, let's calm them down," Lu Yang said with a smile.

Su Yiren thought Lu Yang's words made sense, so she took action to refine the Li family's new residence to prevent it from being damaged.

Both Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan noticed Su Yiren's actions, so they unleashed their full power, adopting a more aggressive and sweeping fighting style.

Li Haoran took out a long spear from his storage space. It was the best weapon he had ever crafted. The spear slashed across the floor tiles, sparks flying everywhere.

Qin Yanyan suddenly had many talismans in her hand, and she cast one at Li Haoran: "Dawn Talisman!"

Li Haoran took a step forward, his spear thrusting upwards. Before the Dawnbreaker Talisman could activate, it was split in two by the spear.

"Break!"

The spear moved like a dragon in battle, each move exuding dominance. The speed at which it was swung exceeded the speed of sound, and with a whooshing sound, the spearhead appeared less than three inches away from Qin Yanyan.

Qin Yanyan's pupils contracted slightly; there was no way to dodge this attack. "Diamond Talisman!"

She jerked her head to the right, the tip of the gun grazing her shoulder with a metallic clang.

Qin Yanyan bit her finger and used her blood as a medium to draw a talisman in the air, and a huge hammer appeared above Li Haoran's head.

"Smash it!"

Li Haoran could only raise his spear to withstand the blow. The heavy hammer struck with such force that Li Haoran's hands went numb, and the spear fell to the ground.

"Drawing talismans in mid-air, what amazing talent in talismans!" Lu Yang saw Qin Yanyan using talismans as if they were free and assumed they were given to her by her family. But given her displayed talent, she probably drew all of them herself.

"How are you going to fight without a weapon!" Qin Yanyan used her speed talisman, her figure turning into lightning as she leaned forward and charged towards Li Haoran.

Li Haoran remained silent, throwing out his fists. He was not a cultivator who fought with weapons; his true skill lay in refining!

Qin Yanyan took out three Vajra Talismans to block Li Haoran's punch, but unexpectedly, Li Haoran refined the barrier formed by the Vajra Talismans on the spot. He tore the barrier apart and kicked Qin Yanyan away.

Taking advantage of the situation, Qin Yanyan grabbed Li Haoran's ankle and slammed him to the ground.

She temporarily strengthened her body with a strengthening talisman. Although she would feel pain for a while afterward, she couldn't care less about that now!

Li Haoran used his hands to brace himself on the ground, changing his posture, and kicked back with a move called "Rabbit Kicks Eagle".

Qin Yanyan was no ordinary person. Most talisman masters were good at ranged attacks and would lose once they got close. But she was different; she had specially trained in close combat techniques.

The two began close-quarters combat, their punches landing with resounding cracks, showing no mercy.

Suddenly, Li Haoran made a feint and slammed his head into Qin Yanyan. Qin Yanyan was stunned by the sudden blow and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Strengthened hair?!" Lu Yang was surprised. This scene was so similar to the one Meng Jingzhou used to defeat his opponent at the exchange meeting with the Five Elements Sect.

Meng Jingzhou was even more surprised than Lu Yang. Body tempering down to the hair was the Third Elder's secret technique, and the conditions for its cultivation were extremely demanding. Where did Li Haoran learn it? And how did he learn it?

Li Haoran noticed the two of them, smiled, and took off his wig.

If body refinement can affect hair, then weapon refinement can naturally affect wigs as well.

"Senior Brother Meng's move to defeat the enemy was very inspiring to me, but I'm not a body cultivator, so I can't refine my hair. I can only shave my head and make a wig. Looking at it today, the effect is quite good."

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

You're really tough on yourself.

Qin Yanyan fell to the ground and saw Li Haoran shamelessly wearing a wig. Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, she wanted to cry but forced back her tears.

"You win. Go ahead and marry my mom. I won't stop you! Do whatever you want! I will absolutely never call you Dad!"

Li Haoran: "!!!"

He hadn't been basking in the joy of victory for long when this bombshell news left him reeling.

"Get married..." Li Haoran muttered softly at first, then suddenly raised his voice, "With your mother?!"

Li Haoran turned to look at his parents and Su Yiren, whose cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. "Mom, wasn't it supposed to be an arranged marriage since we were little?"

Li's mother avoided eye contact, not daring to look her son in the eye. "That's right, it was Yiren who pointed at my stomach and said she wanted to marry you."

Is this how you understand arranged marriage?

"Give me some sunflower seeds." Lu Yang snatched half a sunflower seed from Meng Jingzhou's hand, and the two of them started cracking them open like hamsters.

Lu Yang pondered for a moment, "What was she supposed to be hugging, three thousand older women?"
