When Are We Getting Married?
In the Demon Domain, the courtyard gradually quieted down.
The moon shone through the green eaves, frost soaked the tiles, bamboo shadows swayed and swept the stone steps, fireflies lingered around the well railing, and the flickering lamplight reflected on the window screen.
After eating, drinking, and having fun, the group continued their cultivation.
After witnessing the powerful extraterrestrial expert, everyone except Lu Qing'an felt a sense of pressure.
On the Cangyun Continent, their strength was enough to rival the world's best, but in the outer worlds, they were still as weak as ants, unable to offer even the slightest help.
After Lu Qing'an finished eating, he called Li Cangxuan and they strolled outside the courtyard.
It seemed like he was just trying to digest his food, but actually he wanted to talk to his apprentice about something.
"Master, is there anything I need to do?" Li Cangxuan followed behind Lu Qing'an with a smile, just like many years ago, but he was no longer that little kid.
But the way he looked at Lu Qing'an was still the same as when he was a child, full of admiration and worship.
Lu Qing'an took out thirteen Divine Cultivation Pill and handed them to Li Cangxuan: "Make good use of these pills. There are only four days left until your wedding day. In life, there are only a few things that are truly memorable, and this wedding is one of them. Try your best to improve your cultivation as much as possible, and don't disgrace your master."
Li Cangxuan took the pill bottle and sensed that there were thirteen Divine Cultivation Pill inside. His eyes turned a little red.
He practically gave him all the remaining Divine Cultivation Pill!
Master!!
"Stop with those sentimental words. Once you're married, you'll have your own family. You need to figure out how to be a good man," Lu Qing'an said with a smile.
Li Cangxuan tightened his grip on the pill bottle in his hand, then nodded solemnly. "Yes! Thank you, Master!!"
With these pills and the Time Cultivation Tower with a time flow rate of 1:500, he has a good chance of breaking through to the Chaos Emperor Realm before his wedding day!
Lu Qing'an gestured for Li Cangxuan to come closer, then placed his hand on Li Cangxuan's shoulder and said, "From now on, when you walk with me, don't always follow behind. Also, hold your head high, stand tall, and be more confident! After all, you are my most outstanding disciple!"
A surge of warmth filled Li Cangxuan's heart, and he nodded solemnly again. "Disciple will listen to Master!!"
"Haha, let's keep walking and chat with Master about your future plans! Also, what are your plans after having children...?"
The master and apprentice chatted as they strolled along.
The moonlight lingered on the two of them, lengthening their shadows until they merged into one.
After Lu Qing'an finished talking with Li Cangxuan, he returned to the stone pavilion in the courtyard and found that only Xue Tianfei and Xiao Qingyi were there.
As for Hu Xinxin, she discovered that her cultivation speed was a bit slower than Xue Tianfei's, and now she cultivates with all her might every day, much more diligently than Xue Tianfei.
Xiao Qingyi stared intently at Lu Qing'an and chuckled, "Did you just go to give Little Xuanzi some pills? Do you have any left? Can I have one?"
Lu Qing'an blatantly lied, saying, "They were all given to Little Xuanzi."
"Are you sure?" Xiao Qingyi asked.
Lu Qing'an: "Once I get a large quantity of medicinal herbs from the Pill Cloud Continent, I'll have that kid Xuanyu refine a lot more. You'll have plenty to eat then."
"Okay."
"Aren't you supposed to be dealing with your apprentice's affairs? Aren't you going to get busy? What are you doing sitting here?"
"Isn't this just about figuring out how to deal with those two traitors? Ugh!"
"What else is there to do? Just beat them up first, and then deal with the rest as things unfold."
"That makes sense. Well then, I'll go see them!"
"Go ahead, go ahead, just beat them to a pulp."
Xiao Qingyi: "..."
Watching Xiao Qingyi shatter the void and depart, Lu Qing'an looked at Xue Tianfei and smiled, "Little Xue, come closer, I have something for you."
Without Lu Qing'an needing to remind her, Xue Tianfei moved her bottom and pressed herself against Lu Qing'an as soon as Xiao Qingyi left.
When she saw Lu Qing'an secretly take out two Divine Cultivation Pill, her eyes lit up, and she covered her mouth with a smile, "Didn't you say you were giving them all to Little Xuanzi?"
"If we didn't say it that way, wouldn't Old Xiao have taken it all? You know how shameless that old guy is," Lu Qing'an said with a smile.
"You've given them all to me? Are you sure you won't give them to anyone else?" Xue Tianfei's eyes were full of tenderness.
"Once that kid Xuanyu can mass-produce Divine Cultivation Pill, they'll have plenty to eat. Aren't you eager to break through recently? Take this and have it."
"Hehe, as expected of the man I love most! Then I'll accept it! Hehe, how should I thank you?"
"With our relationship, there's no need for thanks."
"No way! How about tonight I..." Xue Tianfei stared intently at Lu Qing'an, her eyes practically drooling. She paused here, looking at Lu Qing'an's handsome face, and couldn't help but purse her lips.
Lu Qing'an's heart stirred slightly.
Is this what you call thanking me?
You're rewarding yourself.
Xue Tianfei didn't spell it out explicitly, but her meaning was quite clear.
The two have already kissed; now it's time to do something everyone understands.
But seeing that Lu Qing'an remained silent, she thought about it and held back, realizing that perhaps she had been too hasty.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. But, now that we're in this situation, shouldn't we start thinking about the future? Like, when to get married or something."
She felt she couldn't be too hasty; she should wait until after the marriage to avoid giving Lu Qing'an a bad impression of her.
Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "That's up to you. The children have already accepted your presence, and our relationship has progressed to the point where you can decide on a date after Little Xuanzi's wedding."
He stopped trying to steal the spotlight from his apprentice.
"Then let's wait until after Little Xuanzi's wedding and see!" Xue Tianfei nestled in Lu Qing'an's arms and said softly.
"OK."
"Mmm."
After obtaining the pill, Li Cangxuan did not immediately begin cultivating. Instead, he first entered the Time Cultivation Tower and found Xu Xuanyu, who was cultivating.
"Little Xuanzi, is there something you need?" Xu Xuanyu stopped his cultivation and asked with a smile when he saw Li Cangxuan arrive.
Li Cangxuan smiled and nodded, "I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"Given our relationship, saying 'please' would be too formal. Just get straight to the point. Are you here to refine pills? What kind of pills?" Xu Xuanyu asked with a smile.
"Yes, the kind of pill you mentioned last time that can quickly elevate someone below the Emperor Realm to the Emperor Realm. I want my younger brother Zhengran to break through to the Emperor Realm during this period." Li Cangxuan expressed his thoughts and told Xu Xuanyu that he wanted to inform all the guests on the wedding day that he would hand over the position of Demon Emperor to Lu Zhengran.
He had already asked Lu Zhengran, Lu Zhengran agreed, but Lu Zhengran's only concern was that he wasn't capable enough and others wouldn't recognize his abilities.
Therefore, he wanted to help Lu Zhengran quickly advance to the Great Emperor Realm.
Xu Xuanyu mentioned before that he could refine a pill that could help others quickly break through to the Great Emperor Realm, without any side effects or bottlenecks.
"Oh! I can certainly refine this kind of pill at will! However, the medicinal materials required for this pill are probably difficult to gather in the Cangyun Continent..." Xu Xuanyu said with a wry smile.
"Master said that there are many demonic herbs in the sealed ruins of the Immortal-Demon War. There might be enough medicinal herbs there. Just tell me what herbs you need, and I'll go find them!"
"Okay, I'll give you a list."
