Nie Li was extremely depressed. It didnât matter whether they made a good match or not. You should still get peoplesâ opinions before you try to marry them off. Was she even aware of the saying âunwillingness cannot produce desired resultsâ?
Nie Liâs thoughts whirled. How could he deal with Long Yuyinâs forceful old lady?
Nie Li felt extremely depressed under the threat of the cold dagger. Heâd heard that Long Yuyin had wasted her own fiancĂŠ, Hu Yong, twice. Had she learned that from her mother?
Long Shuyun stared at Nie Li as she coldly said, âSo, will you?â
The chilling aura made Nie Li shiver.
Nie Li immediately opened his mouth. âWait! I have several questions. Why do you and Long Yuyin have the same surname, Long?â
At Nie Liâs words, Long Shuyun blankly stared at him for a moment. This subject was a bit too much of a leap. After a brief moment, she said, âWe belong to the Dragonseal Family; therefore, we are surnamed Long. If youâre married with my daughter, your surname will, of course, have to be Long as well!â
So it turned out that heâd have to go and live with his âwifeâsâ family1!
âHaving the chance to take on the surname Long. You should feel proud!â Long Shuyun said, as if it was a natural thing.
âThatâs impossible!â Nie Li shook his head. âMy surname was bestowed by my ancestors. Forget about being wasted. Even if I was killed, I wonât change my surname. This is disrespect towards my ancestors!â
Long Shuyun shrugged. âAlright then. If youâre unwilling to take the surname Long, then I wonât force you to. Itâll be fine as long as the first child you have with my daughter bears the surnamed Long!â
Nie Li dumbfoundedly looked at Long Shuyun. She compromised so quickly? Didnât she have principles?!
âBefore you marry my daughter, go ahead and voice any requests you have. As long as they arenât too unreasonable, Iâll agree to them!â Shunyun looked at Nie Li and said in a meaningful tone, âI know your ambitions are quite large, and the foundations that youâve laid out are quite solid. However, if you really want a chance at the Sect Masterâs position, it wonât be enough with just Hierarch Skycloudâs support. If you marry Long Yuyin, youâd be able to gain the support of another big five. At that point of time, even Sect Master Situ would have to consider you carefully as your chances of winning are too high! Furthermore, our Dragonseal Family will do our best to help you win the position! But whether youâll be our ally or our enemy, thatâs your decision to make!â
Hearing Long Shuyunâs words, Nie Li was depressed in his heart. That was a naked, straightforward threat! Was there anyone like her, marrying her daughter off in this manner? These people of the Dragonseal Family⌠how were their brains wired?
Nie Li was depressed; however, he understood Long Shuyunâs thoughts. With Long Yuyinâs strength alone, the chances that sheâd win the Dragonseal Familyâs Patriarch seat were rather small. However, if Nie Li married Long Yuyin, then the outcome would definitely be different.
Two members of younger generation whoâd integrated with a Dragon Bloodline God Level demon spirit. And one of them had a mutated one at that. Surely, the resources of the Dragonseal Family would lean towards Nie Li and Long Yuyinâs side.
âSpeaking of which, I still have to thank you. No matter how I tried to persuade her, that daughter of mine wasnât willing to fight for the Patriarchâs position. I never thought that after following you, sheâd actually change her mind about that. In this world, there are many things that require you to compete before they can belong to you! I can tell that this daughter of mine is fond of you. Since thatâs the case, then as her mother, I definitely have to help her. Nie Li, if you betray Yinâerâs hopes⌠Hmph! Donât preach to me about the rules of Divine Feathers Sect. Iâve never cared about those rules, anyways!â Long Shuyun said with a domineering attitude.
Nie Li felt a headache from just how much Long Shuyun loved her daughter. Heâd been trying the change the subject, but she still drove on.
âAunty, this doesnât seem like a good idea. After all, both Long Yuyin and I are still young. Marrying right now doesnât seem too good of an idea. Why donât we wait five years? By then, if Long Yuyin still likes me, then Iâll marry her!â Nie Li said after pondering for a brief moment. Who knows what things would be like in five years? By then, even if Nie Li was going to shamelessly claim ignorance of the matter, thereâd be nothing that Long Shuyun could do to him.
Long Shuyin briefly considered Nie Liâs words, then said, âItâs not too good of an idea? There are many people who get married at your age! But alright. I can wait five years for the wedding. But youâll have to go ahead and get engaged and have your first child. Iâm very free anyways, Iâll take care of the grandchildren for you!â
Nie Li blankly stared at Long Shuyun. He was dumbfounded.
ThisâŚ
Sheâs truly unparalleled! Nie Li didnât know how to reply to her at all.
âAunty, marriage is such a big matter! Shouldnât we consult our parents first? My parents live in the Tiny World, but the door to the Tiny World only opens every five years.â Nie Li quickly replied. Even he couldnât help being convinced by his own quick-witted reply.
Long Shuyun hesitated for a moment, but then sharply glared at Nie Li, and said, âAre you trying to stall?â
âWhy would I dare to stall Aunty?!â Nie Li immediately followed. âMy parents really are still in the Tiny World!â
âYou donât have to bother about that. You can just let your parents know in five years. After your child is born, of course.â Long Shuyin said firmly.
âI canât do that! Without my parentsâ approval, how could I dare to commit such an unfilial act2?!â Nie Li righteously replied on the spot.
Long Shuyun was so enraged that her chest was heaving up and down. âI get it. You donât want to marry my daughter. If thatâs the case, then donât blame me for being ruthless! Letâs see how long you can hold out for!â She raised the dagger and brought it down towards Nie Liâs crotch.
Nie Li sensed that chill in his crotch, but firmly replied, âIâve put my words on the table. Itâs not that Iâm unwilling to marry Long Yuyin. But before I do, I have to seek my parentsâ approval! Otherwise, I definitely wonât yield, regardless of what Aunty does to me!â
Just as her dagger was just about to cut into Nie Li, she stopped. Long Shuyun had been caught in a rather awkward position. After all, Nie Li hadnât thoroughly refused her. And if she went ahead and actually wasted this boy, Long Yuyin might get angry with her. However this kid was too crafty. Who knew if he was actually delaying on purpose?
Just as Long Shuyun hesitated, the door to Nie Liâs room suddenly opened and Xiao Yu walked in. Xiao Yu was stunned on the spot.
âYou guysâŚâ Xiao Yu dumbfoundedly looked upon the scene. Heâd heard a female voice when he passed by Nie Liâs room. When he thought that it was Long Yuyin again, he became enraged, so he pushed the door open and witnessed the scene before him instead.
Nie Li was suspended in mid-air with his limbs splayed in all four directions, looking extremely ambiguous. Who knew what this mature and fiery woman was doing to him?
âWho are you?â Xiao Yu stared at Long Shuyun as he tried to guess her identity. After all, it was weird that there was a stranger in Nie Liâs room.
Long Shuyun patted Nie Li and chuckled. âNie Li, how was it? Has Big Sister served you well?â
She glanced at Nie Li as her charming eyes flashed with a chilling light.
Seeing Long Shuyunâs eyes, Nie Li felt depressed in his heart. This woman seriously wanted his life3! But he knew that if he didnât cooperate with her, then the consequences would be extremely heavy.
