Shi Gang had actually long since selected several candidates for his son. They were all Shi Clan women of Shi Kang's generation with outstanding Dou God Bloodlines.
He had not mentioned them because Shi Kang had always had his own ideas since childhood, and he wanted to hear what Shi Kang thought.
Shi Kang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father, my principal wife doesn't necessarily have to be a Shi Clan member, right?"
Generally speaking, the woman with the strongest bloodline among the Shi Clan members of his generation would be chosen as Shi Kang's principal wife.
But Shi Kang had his own plans.
Shi Gang frowned in confusion and asked, "Hm? You want to form a Marriage Alliance with another Dou God Clan?"
As fellow Dou God Clans, both possessing Dou God Bloodlines, a Marriage Alliance was certainly possible. It could also strengthen their cooperation, making it a decent choice.
But that would be somewhat more troublesome.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Kang shook his head and said, "No, Father. I was just asking."
In truth, Shi Kang had just wanted to suggest a Marriage Alliance with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
Because of their body cultivation, the Shi Clan women were generally rather sturdily built... Shi Kang did not particularly like that. Besides, the grade of their Dou God Bloodlines was quite low, so he had long since ruled them out.
Since he was not choosing a woman from his own clan, a Marriage Alliance was his only option.
And if he was forming a Marriage Alliance, he had to find someone of roughly equal strength.
What Shi Gang valued was the other party's bloodline and potential for cooperation, but Shi Kang's foremost consideration was whether they could help the Shi Clan resist the Soul Clan.
