A Soul Beast Husband?

Good grief!

Standing off to the side, Ye Xingchen nearly stumbled and fell when he heard that.

Ning Fengzhi was giving his daughter away far too quickly!

He actually found himself struggling to hold back!

Gu Rong scratched his head. Seeing Chen Xin and the Sect Master working together so smoothly, he did not know what to say!

"Shall we go, then?"

"Straight to the wedding bows, then off to the bridal chamber?"

Adding fuel to the fire, Chen Xin spoke with a chuckle, making Ning Rongrong swallow.

She glanced at the composed Ye Xingchen. No matter how she looked at it, something felt off!

A short while later, the bright moon hung high above the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"First, bow to heaven and earth. Second, bow to your elders. Husband and wife, bow to each other..."

Watching the two finish the brief ceremony with three bows and nine kowtows, Ning Fengzhi could not help shedding tears.

Ever since his wife had passed away, he had raised their daughter single-handedly.

Now that he had finally followed his wife's last wishes and arranged a marriage for their daughter, he said with a smile:

"Rise, Xingchen. From now on, I'm entrusting Rongrong to you..."

"She's my only daughter. You must take good care of her..."

Having hurried through the wedding rites, Ye Xingchen nodded slightly, thinking that old fox Ning Fengzhi really was crafty!

They had only just finished their wedding bows, and he had already stopped calling him Young Master. He had fully adopted the tone of a father-in-law and was actually calling him Xingchen!

"Ding! Mission rewards have arrived. Host, please check!"

Still, for the sake of the system rewards and Ning Rongrong, he let it slide.

Clearing his throat softly, Ye Xingchen smiled.

"Shall I head to the bridal chamber, then?"

The bridal chamber?

Beneath her red bridal veil, Ning Rongrong's bashful face burned at those words.

When those large, fair hands took her wrist, she could not help trembling.

It was as though, at that moment, she had truly become the wife of this man she had only met a few times!

As their figures slowly disappeared, Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, feeling as though something was missing from his heart.

He glanced at the two elders, Gu Rong and Chen Xin, drinking gloomily nearby, then approached them with a smile.

"Let me join you for a couple of drinks. It's Rongrong's happy day!"

Having had a few drinks too many, Gu Rong snorted softly, rose, and sighed.

"Sect Master, there's something this old man has to say, or I won't be able to rest easy!"

"Just what benefit does this man offer you that you had to drag Rongrong into it?"

"Old Gu, you've had too much to drink," Chen Xin, sitting beside him, hurriedly warned.

"Hurry up and apologize to Fengzhi. Have you forgotten what day it is?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a smile. Now that his daughter had married that lord, he no longer had much to worry about.

He smiled and said:

"It concerns becoming a god, and bringing my wife back to life!"

"This man is the key!"

At those words, the drunken Gu Rong immediately sobered up!

As a Titled Douluo, he had lingered at level ninety-five for years!

Even the slightest further advance was as difficult as crossing a vast chasm!

His longing to become a god had gradually faded beneath the wind and frost of the passing years.

But fading did not mean he no longer yearned for it!

"Really?"

Chen Xin glanced at Gu Rong and said calmly:

"Madam's great prophecy was unfailingly accurate. I doubt this could be false!"

"In this world today, aside from the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall, there are probably very few places with gods!"

"If one god, or several gods, appeared in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then..."

Ning Fengzhi lifted a cup of strong liquor and drank it down, then nodded slightly, his face full of smiles.

"Exactly. Rongrong was born with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. If this lets her break through her shackles, becoming a god won't be difficult!"

"And the key lies with this man!"

Now understanding everything, Gu Rong nodded. He finally understood why the Sect Master had been so eager to marry off his daughter!

So that being was a precious treasure. Anyone would feel uneasy if they did not claim him for themselves early!

"I understand now. It seems the day of our rise has come!"

"Hahaha! Drink! To Rongrong..."

Within a courtyard in the inner grounds of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,

Ye Xingchen stood with his hands behind his back and tilted his head slightly. Glancing at the crescent moon above, he smiled faintly.

With a casual wave, his personal system interface silently appeared:

"Host: Ye Xingchen!"

"Constitution: Chaos Body!"

"Sky Covering Realm: 0!"

"Douluo Realm: 0!"

"Martial Soul: 0!"

"Storage: million spiritual qi ×1! Martial Soul Lottery ×1!"

Looking at his blank-slate self, Ye Xingchen sighed softly, thinking how pitiful he really was.

The Sky Covering Realm was divided into Wheel and Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform, Great Power, King, Saint, Saint King, Great Sage, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, Mortal Immortal, Immortal King, Titan, Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Emperor!

The Douluo ranks, meanwhile, were Soul Master, Soul Master, Soul Master, Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, Ordinary Titled Douluo, Super Douluo, and Limit Douluo!

So many realms, and the system had not given him so much as a strand of yarn!

System: "Keep complaining, and I'll take it back. Try me!"

At the system's warning, the resentment in Ye Xingchen's heart vanished like smoke!

He coughed and said inwardly:

System, use the million spiritual qi!

The moment he finished speaking, without so much as a warning from the system, a suffocating sensation enveloped him from every direction.

Before Ye Xingchen could react, he froze, and a million spiritual qi poured straight into his body!

At that moment, he was like a balloon swelling without limit!

"Ding! Congratulations on opening the Bitter Sea. Spiritual qi is full!"

"Ding! Life Spring opened. Spiritual qi is full!"

"Ding! Divine Bridge established. Spiritual qi is full!"

Inside the room,

Ning Rongrong sat all alone on the bed, terribly bashful, yet that fellow still had not come inside.

She could not help feeling puzzled. Had he heard of her reputation as the Little Demoness and realized that consummating their marriage would be difficult, so he was unwilling to enter?

Ning Rongrong sighed softly. On any other day, she would have charged outside, punching and kicking.

But on a day like today, she simply did not dare move about recklessly!

Just then, a puff sounded outside the door.

Sensing something was wrong, Ning Rongrong froze, then hurried outside.

The moment she stepped through the doorway, she saw a huge mushroom cloud slowly rising above Ye Xingchen's head!

And that mushroom cloud was actually formed from immeasurable amounts of spiritual qi!

"Spiritual Qi Manifestation..."

"Is this guy a Soul Beast?!"

Her cherry-red lips slightly parted, Ning Rongrong could not help murmuring at the sight.

As far as she knew, any being capable of absorbing spiritual qi was undoubtedly a Soul Beast!

Humans, on the other hand, grew stronger by absorbing Soul Ring Power!

She swallowed, wondering whether her father had found her a Soul Beast husband.

While she was distracted, Ye Xingchen slowly opened his eyes.

Dressed entirely in white, illuminated by moonlight and spiritual qi, he looked even more like an Immortal!
