The World Where Only Yu Tianheng Was Injured Was Achieved (Seeking Follow-ups and Encouragement)

"Oh, stop being angry. Isn't Mom just worried about you?"

Looking at Ye Lingling, who was sitting there throwing a little tantrum, Ye Qinru wore an expression of helplessness.

"Son-in-law, help me persuade her. You see, I didn't do it on purpose; I was just worried that you young people wouldn't know how to exercise restraint, so..."

"You're still talking!"

Ye Lingling bristled. She had already been embarrassed enough, and now it was being brought up again.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lingling, don't get worked up. Mom is just concerned about you. Don't be angry, or you'll get pimples and won't be pretty anymore."

Seeing this, Fang Xuan quickly pulled Ye Lingling to his side and smiled to smooth things over.

"Look at how tactful my son-in-law is. By the way, when have you two decided to get married? I need to start making preparations."

The more Ye Qinru looked at Fang Xuan now, the more pleased she was.

It could be said that extremes meet; she liked him just as much now as she had disliked him before.

"So soon? Isn't that a bit too rushed?"

"Actually, there's no need to be in such a hurry for this kind of thing. Waiting another two years would be fine."

Fang Xuan knew that the current Douluo Continent was still in the era of feudal dynasties, so getting married at this age was indeed a very normal thing.

Furthermore, because they were Spirit Masters, their physical constitutions were strong, so there was no risk of life-threatening complications like childbirth difficulties.

Even so, he still felt it was too fast. After all, he had been focused on how to handle his mother-in-law at the time and hadn't had the chance to think about the aftermath.

Being brought up so suddenly, he was caught off guard.

"Fast? You should look at the reputation you have outside right now. Do you believe that if you don't marry my daughter before you go out, someone will immediately drag you back?"

"Ah?! No, what is going on here!"

He had only been unconscious for three days; how could such a situation have blown up?

Seeing Fang Xuan's confusion, Ye Qinru explained the current situation, which left him completely speechless.

Well, I've become the empire's benchmark for romance.

"Now you know why I'm urging you two to get married quickly. Besides, you've already done everything you were supposed to do, so what are you waiting for?"

"Isn't it better to get the certificate and start the job early? What? Do you just like the feeling of a free ride?"

Fang Xuan's mouth twitched. While the words were crude, they weren't wrong, but she was being a bit too blunt.

"Then... Mom, what about the betrothal gifts?"

Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well follow the rules.

"Betrothal gifts? What betrothal gifts? What do you need that stuff for? Just make a token gesture."

"Anyway, I only have this one daughter, and it will all be left to her in the end."

However, just after saying this, Ye Qinru seemed to think of something and looked at Fang Xuan, continuing, "Also, isn't Dugu Bo your master? They say a disciple is half a son. You should have him provide the betrothal gifts. Remember, it must be him. I don't want yours."

Are you kidding? She still remembered that Dugu Bo had tried to poach her son-in-law; she had to get revenge for that.

Besides, taking from Fang Xuan would just be moving money from his left hand to his right, and it would all end up in the same place anyway. She had to find other channels to make a profit.

As a shrewd and capable businesswoman, Ye Qinru had to plan carefully for her daughter.

"..."

He had inexplicably become Dugu Bo's disciple, and he didn't know who to complain to about that.

However, being the disciple of that person didn't seem too bad. At least he was a Titled Douluo, and having him as a backer wasn't a bad deal.

Moreover, Dugu Bo's character was decent, and given the relationship between Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, they would have dealings sooner or later.

"Right, there is one more thing I need to make clear to you two in advance."

At this moment, Ye Qinru shed her previous easygoing demeanor and became serious.

She first looked at Ye Lingling, then at Fang Xuan, and said word by word, "I allow you to see other people, but Lingling's children must carry the Ye surname."

Ye Qinru had thought about this for a long time. She had been pondering it during the days Fang Xuan was unconscious, and now she finally felt it was time to say it.

She didn't want Fang Xuan to have no heirs, but she didn't want her own lineage to end either.

Originally, she had wanted him to marry into the family, but given Fang Xuan's situation, that would be too much of an insult to him.

An eighteen-year-old Spirit King—what level of genius was that?!

Her family wasn't that arrogant. In fact, they were the ones who had gained from this; otherwise, given her daughter's situation, it would have been impossible to find someone with such qualifications.

In the current situation, even if Fang Xuan agreed, she wouldn't. They were already at a disadvantage, and making such a demand would seem too unreasonable.

In the end, she thought of this solution. In any case, it was normal to take multiple wives in this era.

Among the nobility, having three wives and four concubines was common. She trusted Fang Xuan; even if he took more wives, he wouldn't mistreat her daughter.

Besides, she was afraid of being condemned by others if she caused such a genius to have no descendants.

Even the children Ye Lingling might have in the future would be affected, so this matter had to be resolved.

"Mom, actually I..."

"I agree."

Fang Xuan had just wanted to say that he didn't need it, but Ye Lingling spoke up first.

"Lingling, you..."

"Ah Xuan, I know you love me very much, but my mother and I think the same way."

"You are a genius; the continuation of your lineage is very important."

"I cannot become a burden to you. Just do it for me, and for our future children."

Ye Lingling's attitude was exceptionally firm, leaving Fang Xuan completely speechless.

The limitations of the era had forged different ways of thinking; it was understandable that Ye Lingling and her mother felt this way.

It was just that he truly didn't care about such things; after all, he was aiming to become a god in the future.

But if he were to tell Ye Lingling and the others that, they would likely just think he was indulging in wild fantasies.

"Fine... fine then, but I have one condition: I must be the one to choose the people. Don't go arranging things for me at will."

People in this feudal society were quite terrifying. If they decided to bring him dozens of women for the sake of "continuing the bloodline," wouldn't he be drained dry?

"That's fine, but the people must be brought to me for inspection. Don't think about hiding beauties in a golden house."

Ye Qinru understood all too well what kind of thoughts men had.

Moreover, not just anyone could share a husband with her daughter.

Without some capability, relying on beauty alone wouldn't cut it.

In the world of spirit masters, strength was supreme; everything else was nonsense.

Finally, after some friendly communication between the three, a specific date was set.

The schedule was very tight—only three days away.

Ye Qinru had the servants deliver the wedding invitations she had prepared early to the various nobles in Heaven Dou City.

Having spent many years in Heaven Dou City, she had dealings with all sorts of factions.

There were quite a few people to invite, though whether they would actually show up was another matter; the formalities had to be observed regardless.

Dugu Bo naturally received one as well, though he received an extra one.

"Yo, you're moving fast, but what is this?"

Dugu Bo was just about to sigh as he looked at the invitation in his hand, when he saw the most bizarre thing he had ever encountered in his life.

"Are you kidding me? Why do I have to prepare a dowry for his wedding!"

"What do you mean 'a disciple is half a son, so it's only natural for a master to prepare the dowry'?"

"I haven't even received the apprenticeship gift from that brat yet, I..."

At this moment, Dugu Bo finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own feet, and also that one should never provoke women.

He had admitted Fang Xuan was his disciple in front of so many people; it was too late to expel him from the sect now.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to let him go, but Ye Qinru was asking for far too much.

"It's infuriating! Where is that brat Yu Tianheng? I must beat him up today to vent my anger."

"Is it really that hard for him to come over and kneel at the door? How is my Yan Yan any worse than that Ye girl? They clearly don't hold me in any regard."

"I see he already has the path to his own demise!"

From that moment on, a world where only Yu Tianheng was injured was achieved.
