Get Married? But I'm Underage! [First Update]

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan perked up.

This, a completely new Xianzhou?

Since its inception, the Celestial Ark Alliance has traversed countless Aeon Epochs, losing three of its nine Xianzhou, a loss that has had a profound impact on the entire alliance. If a new Xianzhou were to be acquired, the Immortal Celestial Ark Alliance's population would increase significantly in the near future.

Ji Yuan now has an eagerness to take it out.

However, after some thought, he felt it wasn't the right time yet and should wait for a more suitable opportunity to extract it. With the help of other Xianzhou, rebuilding the new Immortal Xianzhou for All Living Beings would likely be quite easy.

"I bet Jingliu- sensei will be very happy to rebuild the new Cangcheng Starfaring Vessel."

Ji Yuan glanced at his teacher, who was fast asleep beside him, and reached out to stroke her long, snow-white hair. It was so smooth and lustrous.

After lying there for a while, Ji Yuan stretched and walked into the courtyard. The courtyard was filled with bamboo and pine trees, and the air was exceptionally fresh in the morning. Standing in the courtyard, Ji Yuan felt much more relaxed and happy.

After stretching his body a bit, Ji Yuan didn't practice swordsmanship this time. Instead, he swung his fists and practiced according to Marshal Hua's fist techniques.

Marshal Hua's fist techniques flowed smoothly and effortlessly, possessing immense power and near-perfect flawlessness. They were so fluid and unpredictable that it was impossible to find any openings to attack. Marshal Hua's strength was among the top tier even among the Emanator, not only due to the abundant energy bestowed upon her by the Trailblazer of the Hunt, but also because of her near-perfect skill.

Ji Yuan inherited her style of boxing; although it wasn't perfect, others couldn't easily find any flaws in it.

He practiced his boxing for a while, feeling his muscles and bones were fully loosened. After doing a few stretching exercises, Ji Yuan prepared to go get some food for himself and his teacher.

However, before he even reached the door, he heard a knock at the door.

Hmm? Who's looking for me again? They're quite polite, though.

Hearing the knocking, Ji Yuan was puzzled.

He quickly went to the door and opened it.

After opening the door, he saw a male and a female Fox Folk standing outside.

Both men were middle-aged, but still quite handsome and good-looking. They wore the uniforms of Sky-Faring Commission Martial Armaments Officer, and if you looked closely, you could even smell the gunpowder lingering in their clothes. Ji Yuan guessed that these two had participated in the battle against the Buli Ren yesterday. At this moment, they were carrying some tonics and fruits, as if they had come to pay a visit.

The only thing that puzzled Ji Yuan was the look in the eyes of these two people.

No, uncles and aunties, why are you looking at me with such scrutinizing eyes?

Ji Yuan was puzzled.

Let's not even talk about how my position at the Sky-Faring Commission is practically meaningless. Even if it were, you're Martial Armaments Officer, and I'm Trade Official; we're not even in the same promotion system, so you wouldn't be able to investigate me.

But he still politely asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The next sentence from the middle-aged Fox Folk couple completely dispelled all of Ji Yuan's doubts.

"We came to check on you. After defeating so many enemies yesterday, we were a little worried about your health. Last night, my daughter Tingyun told us you were here, so we came to see you. It's also our first time meeting, so I wanted to take a good look at you."

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Upon hearing the middle-aged Fox Folk's words, Ji Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.

These two are Tingyun's parents.

That is, one's own father-in-law and mother-in-law?

Ji Yuan knew that Tingyun's parents were Martial Armaments Officer at the Sky-Faring Commission. They had always wanted Tingyun to become Martial Armaments Officer as well, but her personality was not suitable for that Martial Armaments Officer, so she became the representative of the Sky-Faring Commission group.

And now, Tingyun's parents, who were Martial Armaments Officer, actually appeared in front of him.

Ji Yuan's expression instantly changed from surprise to friendliness, a dramatic change in a second.

He immediately invited the two people in.

As she invited them in, she said warmly, "Uncle, Aunt, come in, come in and have a good rest. The journey from Sky-Faring Commission to Alchemy Commission was quite tiring."

These are my in-laws; it's impossible not to try and please them.

As Ji Yuan invited Tingyun's parents into the room, he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute, is my teacher still sleeping in the room?

If they were caught red-handed...

Ji Yuan suddenly realized that the problem was quite serious.

Chapter 236 Marriage? But I'm underage! [First Update]

What should I do? Should I kick my in-laws out right now?

Such a thought flashed through Ji Yuan's mind.

Pshaw! That's impossible no matter how you look at it.

With the thought of torture weighing heavily on his mind, Ji Yuan led Tingyun's parents towards his room. Tingyun's mother watched from behind, puzzled. Wasn't her future son-in-law quite relaxed and cheerful when he invited them in? How could things have suddenly changed?

Ji Yuan walked to the door, gritted his teeth, and pushed it open.

But his tense expression instantly relaxed as soon as he pushed open the door.

Her teacher, Jingliu, wasn't sleeping in bed. Instead, she was sitting in a round-backed chair in the living room, dressed as a swordswoman. Even her crimson eyes were now covered by a black eyepatch, making her look like a mysterious and aloof female swordswoman.

This is completely different from how crazy she was last night.

Tingyun's parents were startled when they saw a woman suddenly appear in their son-in-law's house. However, they quickly recognized the woman.

Isn't this the female swordsman who fought alongside Ji Yuan yesterday? That's right, she's Ji Yuan's teacher, the former Sword Master Jingliu of the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

Tingyun's parents were much younger than Jingliu, but after yesterday's battle, they heard some of the older people from the Sky-Faring Commission talk about this former sword master of Luofu, so they also had some impression of their teacher Ji Yuan.

The Celestial Ark Alliance's Long-Life Species have this advantage: seven hundred years is equivalent to dozens of generations for Belobog, and the secrets of that time are deeply buried in history. However, for the Celestial Ark Alliance, the events of seven hundred years ago can still be witnessed by those who actually saw them.

Tingyun's mother couldn't help but imagine. "I was wondering why Ji Yuan was so nervous. It turns out he was worried that his teacher's status as a wanted criminal on the Xianzhou would be discovered. I thought he was having an affair behind my daughter's back. Hey, we're not that kind of people. Putting aside Ms. Jingliu's contributions to the Xianzhou, she's Ji Yuan's teacher, so we couldn't possibly have any ill intentions."

Thinking of this, she immediately addressed Jingliu in a respectful tone. "Is this Ms. Jingliu? You also came to see Ji Yuan this morning?"

Jingliu slowly nodded, stood up, and walked to the table in the living room, gesturing for Tingyun's parents to sit opposite her. She also pulled Ji Yuan to her side. Then, with a slight upturn of her lips, she adopted the demeanor of an elder and said to Tingyun's parents, "You must be Tingyun's parents. I am his teacher Jingliu. Come, sit down."

"Good."

Overwhelmed by Jingliu's imposing presence, Tingyun's parents sat down with trepidation.

On the other side, Ji Yuan's condition was also not good. Jingliu appeared calm and composed, like a hermit, but under the table, one foot had already slipped out of his boot and was inside his pants, playing with his calf.

How could this possibly be discovered...?

Ji Yuan forced himself to endure it.

At this moment, Jingliu hadn't let her student off the hook yet; she used her toes to write on Ji Yuan's calf:

[Do you think my reaction time is quick?]

Fast, it really is fast.

Ji Yuan nodded slightly, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Meanwhile, Tingyun's parents on the other side were unaware of the situation on Ji Yuan and his disciples' side. They were still marveling at how kind the previous leader of the Luofu Sword Champion was, not at all like the aloof person they had heard about.

Tingyun's father paused for a moment before asking Ji Yuan, "Well, although you are a hero of the Ji Yuan Luofu Starfaring Vessel, as Tingyun's parents, we also have some things we want to know."

"Yes, Uncle, please go ahead."

This was Ji Yuan's first time meeting his father-in-law, and he behaved very obediently.

Tingyun's father placed his hands on the table and asked Ji Yuan in a probing tone, "I've only heard some things about your family from Tingyun, so I don't know much about them. Could you tell us more? Of course, you don't need to talk about the unhappy things."

Ji Yuan's parents were both heroes of the Xianzhou who died on the battlefield, a fact they were aware of.

Ji Yuan frankly said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with saying this. My parents died in the war between Yaoging Star-skiff and Abundance Followers. Later, they were adopted by my parents' comrades-in-arms, namely my adoptive mother Suyi and adoptive father Li Shen. Currently, my adoptive parents are both alive, and I also have a younger sister Sushang."

"Hmm..." Tingyun's father nodded. "I have no further questions. Now, let's move on to the second question."

"Please speak."

Ji Yuan asked nervously.

After asking about family, the next step should be to ask about income and work.

"My second question is, when are you and Tingyun getting married?"

Tingyun's father said with a smile.

"Ah!?"

Upon hearing Tingyun's father say this, Ji Yuan nearly fell off his stool. He looked at Tingyun's father with a puzzled expression.

No, sir, is that how you ask me?

Jingliu shook his head and smiled to the side.

Although she had just had a very intimate relationship with Ji Yuan, she didn't really care about his marriage. After all, marriage wouldn't stop her from doing enjoyable things with her student.

She's insane, she has no morals.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't the second question be about work or something?"

Upon hearing this, Tingyun's father rolled his eyes at him.

"Work? I don't want to be discouraged, nor do I want to hear your boasting."

Favored by the three star gods, Trailblazer of the Hunt, Heaven -Keeper of the Celestial Forge, Omniscient Lord, he is the Marshal's Special Envoy of the Celestial Ark Alliance, the Chairman's Secretary and Deputy Minister of the Strategic Investment Department at the Interastral Peace Corporation, a member of the Genius Society, a hero who saved the Xianzhou twice, and the Grand Inquisitor Jarilo-VI.

I could choke to death if I said it all at once.

Jingliu couldn't help but laugh.

Ji Yuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Then another question came to his mind.

"No, shouldn't we also consider the feelings between the two people before getting married?"

"Feelings? That's less important than your job." Upon hearing this, Tingyun's father rolled his eyes so much that Ji Yuan almost felt he was undergoing a strange change. "If her mother and I dared to disagree with your marriage today, she would dare to run away from home the next day. As for your feelings for my daughter, if you didn't truly love her, would you risk going against the Lord of Destruction to save her?"

To be honest, knowing that Ji Yuan was just an ordinary Trade Official at the time, yet he dared to risk defying the Lord of Destruction to save his daughter, Tingyun's father felt that it would be ungrateful of his daughter not to marry him. Fortunately, his daughter was also in love with Ji Yuan, so there was no need to worry about that aspect.

Seeing Ji Yuan's approving expression, Tingyun's father spread his hands and said to him, "See, there's no problem. Now we can talk about the marriage. Although we can't compare to you, I only have one daughter, Tingyun, and we'll try our best to cover all the expenses."

"No need for that..." Ji Yuan waved his hand subconsciously.

Then, a question suddenly occurred to him.

"Wait, I can't marry Tingyun yet."

He immediately spoke to Tingyun's parents.

"Um?"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's refusal, Tingyun's parents both stood up.

"Why?"

Tingyun's father's eyes held a hint of accusation.

Although he knew that Ji Yuan could easily defeat him with one hand, he was still extremely indignant at Ji Yuan's behavior.

Do you intend to play with my daughter's feelings and then shirk your responsibilities?

"Um, Uncle, please calm down. There's a reason why I can't get married."

"What's the reason?"

Tingyun's father was still angry.

"I'm not an adult yet."

Ji Yuan defended himself in a low voice.

As for the fact that he would die within the next hundred years, Ji Yuan was not so confused now that he knew the murderer was the Star God.

Tingyun's father. "..."

Tingyun's mother. "..."

The couple looked at each other, both somewhat dumbfounded.

Tingyun's father asked dryly, "You, you're still a minor?"

Ji Yuan nodded. "Yes, I'm just over 170 years old, not even 180. Xianzhou People usually don't have a coming-of-age ceremony until they're 200."

You beast!

Tingyun's parents cursed inwardly at the same time.

This time, however, their target wasn't Ji Yuan, but their own daughter. "That child is only a little over 170 years old, how dare you harm her? No matter how strong she is, she's still just a child. Tingyun, did you pick up some bad habits while you were out playing?"
