Pan Long was a transmigrator.
Though he had lived in this world for many years and mastered martial arts that would let him pass for Superman back in his previous world, deep down, he still held mostly to the ideas he had grown up with there.
Marriage, for example.
In his previous world, marriage was a matter between two people. Marriages that neither family supported were everywhere. Unless life was hard, no one saw a problem with them.
To get married, the two people simply applied at the civil affairs bureau, obtained a medical examination certificate, and went to a designated hospital for genetic screening. Once the hospital confirmed they were not a "genetically incompatible pair," they could exchange the test report for a marriage certificate.
If they moved quickly, the whole process could be finished in six hours.
But if they were a genetically incompatible pair, at least one of them had to undergo genetic adjustment before they could marry. Insurance would not cover it, and it was quite expensive.
That was why, in that era, a man and woman who truly wanted a steady relationship often checked their genetic compatibility first.
It was a ritual of sorts, proof that they intended to build a family and have children together.
But throughout the entire process, neither family—not even the parents—needed to do a thing.
Of course, many people held a grand wedding after registering their marriage. They invited parents, relatives, friends... crowds of people, and the celebration was lively.
Pan Long was no exception.
But that was no problem.
Even if the Wu Family elders got in the way and prevented them from completing the so-called Six Rites, surely they would not travel a thousand miles to the Northlands just to disrupt the wedding banquet?
