Chapter 361: Chapter 304 My First Wing (Request for Monthly Ticket Recommendation)_1

In the nearly collapsing room, Li Xuan stared triumphantly at Xue Yunrou beside him, who was as soft as mud.

Thinking to himself, although your cultivation is higher, my combat power is undoubtedly much stronger! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Why is the Divine Blood Azure Phoenix named Niulang? That’s because of a folk tale. In ancient times, Zhinv, the granddaughter of the Heavenly Emperor, was good at weaving and would weave colorful clouds in the sky. She didn’t enjoy this dull life and would sneak down to the mortal realm, secretly marrying a man named Niulang from the west side of the river, and living a simple life of farming and weaving.

However, this angered the Heavenly Emperor. He abducted Zhinv back to the Heavenly Palace, decreeing that they should live apart, only reuniting once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Magpie Bridge—"

Xue Yunrou expressed doubt. "Is there such a folklore? From which area? Why haven’t I heard about it?"

She then shook her head, smiling softly. "Surely you made this up, didn’t you Xuan? But this story is beautiful. If your Divine Blood Phoenix is called Niulang, then my Huoyun Phoenix will be named Zhinv from now on."

Li Xuan looked up at the ceiling, feeling somewhat disdainful of Niulang’s ability,

In his world, the men named Niulang weren’t so weak.

At this moment, Xue Yunrou flipped her body and lay on top of him again.

This made Li Xuan’s blood surge again as he remembered the previous scene where Yunrou was demanding him to proceed fast, her slender soft torso getting shaken.

However, Xue Yunrou didn’t seem interested in another round, she looked at Li Xuan with mixed emotions: "But I don’t like being Zhinv, who can only meet her love once a year."

"Of course." Li Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, if he really were Niulang and Zhinv, he wouldn’t be able to stand it. "I’ll ask my mother to propose a marriage on my behalf, with traditional formalities, gifts, and all."

Meanwhile, he pondered over how to bring up the matter of Hanyun. Today certainly wasn’t the right time. He wanted to give Yunrou a perfect evening at least.

However, at that moment, Xue Yunrou suddenly took a bite on his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

Li Xuan looked at her puzzled, "What are you biting me for?"

However, because of the presence of Taotie, Yunrou’s bite didn’t hurt him at all, not even leaving a mark. All her strength got absorbed by Taotie.

Thank goodness this didn’t interfere with his ability to perform certain activities, otherwise Li Xuan would have been upset.

"Unleash Taotie’s power," Yunrou ordered, glaring at him. "Hurry!"

"You can’t bite me then, let me try," said Li Xuan. After hesitating for a moment, he attempted to withdraw Taotie’s protective power. Instantly regretting it, he let out a scream.

Yunrou bit with full force until she left a bloody mark on his shoulder.

Li Xuan moved his arm, soothing the pain while complaining, "Yunrou, why did you do that? Are you a dog or something?"

"This is marking my territory! Yunrou sat up, looking quite satisfied at the bite mark, "You’re not supposed to use any medicine on the wound. Let it scar up, okay? If you ever have another woman, she’ll see this and know that I was here first."

"Another woman?"

Li Xuan became more confused. He thought this might be a trap set up by Yunrou. He couldn’t fall for this.

"Stop it, I, Li Xuan am a gentleman. Once I marry, I will be faithful and pure."

But he must marry both, even if he must face a kitchen knife. He couldn’t lose either one—

"Pure?" Yunrou let out a scoff, her eyes showed suspicion.

She had long stopped believing in the Heart Asking Bell. She thought Master Yu’s infamous ’ash stealing’ was true. Therefore, the gentlemen selected by Yu’s ’Heart Asking Bell’ seemed insufficient.

As soon as Yunrou thought about being deceived, she felt indignant. She grabbed Li Xuan’s waist, executing a 360-degree turn.

Seeing Li Xuan screaming, she huffed: "What are you pretending for? Look at your skin, it doesn’t even bruise. You activated Taotie’s power, didn’t you?"

Soon after, Yunrou tied her waterfall-like hair with a hairpin. For an unknown reason, her eyes started to get red: "I used to like the fact that you were a man of honor. But I don’t think that so anymore. No matter who you end up marrying, they must agree to me being with you, and not interfere with our affairs. Ideally, you would marry my cousin Hanyun, and you could help her prevent the fox mutation."

No! It must be my cousin. Otherwise, I won’t accept it. No other woman is acceptable, not even Yu Hongshang."

Yunrou knew that her best friend was usually generous in other matters, but when it came to love, she was the most petty.

Only her cousin was kind-hearted and was easy to be tricked by Li Xuan.

"What do you mean?" Li Xuan frowned, increasingly confused. "So Yunrou, you mean to not marry and let me marry Hanyun?"

"Don’t marry!"

At these words, Yunrou’s tears suddenly fell, large droplets dripping onto Li Xuan’s body: "Do you see this?"

She then pointed to a pair of black and white flying swords floating beside her. Her voice was hoarse as she forced herself to speak, "Having inherited this immortal artifact, neither my uncle nor the members of Tianshi’s mansion would allow me to marry someone outside."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan immediately sat up, puzzled. "But where did your uncle’s two sons come from then? I heard that your Zheng Yi Sect doesn’t prohibit marriage."

"We don’t prohibit marriage," Yunrou confirmed with teary eyes shaking her head. "But I could find someone to marry into my family. I couldn’t marry into someone else’s. Can you think about why? How could they allow these two immortal artifacts and the foundation of Tianshi’s mansion to fall into the hands of outsiders?"

Li Xuan thought that this was really troublesome. He frowned and pondered: "I’m not coveting anything of theirs. Even If I marry you, our children could still take their surname, Zhang."

If Yunrou’s child can’t inherit his Earl Jingan, there’s still Hanyun right?

"Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Yunrou trembled. She didn’t realize as a modern man, Li Xuan didn’t really care about things like surnames or lineage.

But for him to make such a huge sacrifice for her-

She bit her lips with her teeth, slightly shaking her head: "It’s impossible. If you were a member of the Zhang family, would you rest assured? Even if I were to take someone into the family, it would have to be from a far-off branch of the Zhang family. They can’t be too outstanding, they must be honest, humble, and easy to manipulate."

Seeing Li Xuan turn pale and his eyes burning with anger as she spoke, Yunrou felt a tinge of satisfaction and sadness. "Don’t worry, I’ve made up my mind not to marry anyway. From now on, I’ll just continue to be with you, Xuan. If there are children in the future, they will inherit the position of the Heavenly Master from me. Otherwise, I’ll return the position of the Heavenly Master back to them after a few years."

Li Xuan was dazed for a while, feeling as if ten thousand wild horses galloping through his mind.
