"Hah!"
Ming Zhi Tian sprang up like a zombie! He came back to life, startling both Ou Huang Zun Huang and Yuan Qi Long.
They then became happy: "Xiao Tian! Are you okay?"
Ming Zhi Tian gagged slightly, shaking his head: "I... succeeded?"
Yuan Qi Long fed him a few ten-grade pills, the Void Origin Pills: "You succeeded. You're truly not human."
Ming Zhi Tian smiled faintly and swallowed the pills: "Don't praise me, I'll get arrogant."
Yuan Qi Long sneered: "You can still joke, so you're fine. Congratulations, you have learned my ten thousand layered pass's one thousand and one divine arts."
Ming Zhi Tian suddenly felt the information in his mind expand. The three major divine arts of Ten Hearts Gravity, Today's Bearing, and Endless Sorrow, appeared in his mind, along with one thousand and one minor ones.
Ming Zhi Tian cupped his hands in a bow: "Many thanks, Old Ancestor."
Yuan Qi Long greatly admired Ming Zhi Tian: "This is what you deserve."
Ming Zhi Tian said: "Let's not talk too much. Since Miss Yuan has not yet come out of seclusion, I will visit again another day. Farewell."
Yuan Qi Long said: "Wait, leave a personal token."
Ming Zhi Tian rummaged through his storage bag: "A personal token? Hmm... would this be acceptable?"
He summoned a battle axe. This was the token of love given to him by Hua Jia Shuang Jin. It shouldn't be an embarrassment to hand it over to the Yuan family.
"An ultimate divine-grade artifact, the Peerless Battle Axe?!"
Yuan Qi Long took it: "This is more than acceptable."
The two walked out of the secret chamber. Because Ming Zhi Tian's shout was so incredibly loud, it had already alarmed everyone in the Yuan family, disturbing their cultivation. They had been observing from outside for a long time.
Among them was a sweet-looking but mature woman with twin ponytails, wearing a silken skirt, standing there.
"Grandfather!"
Yuan Qi Long was surprised: "Ying Ying, you're out of seclusion? And you're already at Divine Might Realm Ninth Level?!"
Ming Zhi Tian seized the opportunity to slip away: "Old Ancestor, I have matters to attend to. I'll be leaving now. We'll talk again another day."
"Hey, wait..."
Ming Zhi Tian had already vanished. This was like finishing the ceremony and then discarding the monks.
Yuan Qi Long shook his head helplessly: "Alas..."
Everyone bowed respectfully: "Old Ancestor!"
Yuan Qi Long waved his hand: "Go about your business."
Yuan Ji Ying stepped forward: "Grandfather, who was that just now...?"
Yuan Qi Long said: "Let's talk about it later."
At Yuan Qi Long's cultivation place...
Yuan Qi Long took a sip of hot tea and said: "The person just now was Ming Zhi Tian, the new Divine Emperor of the Ancient Cultivation World. He is also your future husband."
"?!"
Yuan Ji Ying didn't understand. After thinking for a moment, she exclaimed: "Grandfather, while I was in seclusion, you actually sold me off? Did you ask Ying'er's opinion?!"
Yuan Qi Long was also helpless: "For many years, our Yuan family has been in seclusion because the Undying race repeatedly attacked us. For future development, our Yuan family must latch onto this Divine Emperor of Cultivation. Ying Ying, please comply."
Yuan Ji Ying, adopting the persona of a junior disciple, indignantly said: "If Master were still here, he would surely beat you to death!"
Yuan Qi Long was slightly taken aback and frowned: "Ying Ying, from what position are you speaking to me?"
Yuan Ji Ying felt a bit guilty, but she puffed out her chest and declared: "Naturally, from the position of junior sister!"
Yuan Qi Long felt a headache coming on: "Alas, Ying Ying, just listen to your grandfather, it's for the best. This little heavenly being is quite good. Following him, you will be able to enjoy a life of comfort."
"Still calling him 'little heavenly being,' how ridiculous." Yuan Ji Ying was very unwilling: "A mere Divine Luo Realm is worthy of marrying me, this great Buddha? What kind of intoxicating potion did he feed you, Grandfather?"
