Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 561: The Wedding Day!

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In these three years, Chen Lan’s Xiao Yao Medical Hall became the top in Luo Huang City and even the best for a million miles around. Countless people traveled from afar just to have Chen Lan treat them.

The original Cyan Wood Medical Hall challenged Chen Lan three years ago and was conquered by Chen Lan’s medical skills, admitting defeat willingly and becoming a branch of Xiao Yao Medical Hall.

In just three years, Xiao Yao Medical Hall’s physicians have grown to a thousand, all coming to learn and apprentice, hoping to learn even a fraction of Chen Lan’s techniques.

Chen Lan did not keep secrets and taught various acupuncture techniques and medical knowledge, earning the title of Divine Doctor Chen.

To him, these acupuncture techniques and medical knowledge were very ordinary things, treasures to ordinary people, but trash to him.

Cultivation does not require these; an elixir, a stroke of Life Dao Power, or certain Divine Medicine can heal. Acupuncture is too ordinary, so publicizing it has no impact on him because his medical skills remain unparalleled in the entire Cyan Wood Realm.

Today, as usual, Chen Lan arrived at the medical hall prepared to consult, but there were barely a handful of patients lately, very few indeed.

Perhaps it was because he made some small illness prescriptions public; those with minor ailments would find other branches for medicine, so very few came to him now.

This was also a good thing, allowing for much leisure. Otherwise, why open so many branches if not for some free time, especially since he had already made enough money.

"In three years, I’ve reached mastery in the Dao of Time. This speed is indeed quick, and after sealing all my cultivation, I can clearly sense the changes time brings to my body."

Chen Lan murmured to himself, picking up a mirror on the table and looking at his reflection. Due to fatigue, wrinkles had appeared at the corners of his eyes—a testament to time’s ravages that no one can escape.

"You’re being vain again."

At this moment, a young girl approached. She walked up to Chen Lan, pushed the mirror aside, sat on his lap, and touched his cheeks with her hands, laughing.

"This face is still so handsome, no wonder you look at it every day."

"Lily, someone’s watching," Chen Lan said with a helpless smile.

A year ago, he agreed to Li Lili’s pursuit. He had no choice; she pursued him relentlessly for two years, and he also thought she was a good girl, so he agreed.

Who knew Li Lili would become more and more audacious? Previously, she only got affectionate during the hall’s closed hours, but now she did it openly, truly unafraid of being seen by others.

He wasn’t afraid, as his mindset was far ahead of these people; he just didn’t expect Li Lili to be so forward-thinking as well.

"What are you afraid of? Everyone knows about our relationship. My father supports me, and I’ll see who dares to gossip behind our backs—I’ll have my father and grandfather take care of them!"

Li Lili suddenly turned her head towards the outside and saw a couple of passersby looking in. She immediately shouted angrily, "What are you looking at? Keep gawking, and I’ll have my father deal with you!"

With these words, the few people quickly left, not daring to offend the Li Family.

"Alright, come down now."

"No, I want to hold you." Li Lili suddenly hugged Chen Lan’s waist, laid down on his chest, and felt utterly warm, wishing to stay like this forever.

Looking at the girl in his arms, Chen Lan laughed, but his heart was filled with concerns because he was immortal, and Li Lili was not. She would die, and perhaps in a few decades, she would leave, and he would have to find another place to continue living.

Assuming a new identity, changing his appearance, disguising himself anew.

Initially, he didn’t want to agree to Li Lili’s pursuit, but seeing her sincerity, he thought she might regret it if he didn’t agree. Rather than let her live with regret, it was better to accompany her and make her life beautiful.

So he agreed to accompany Li Lili through her life, perhaps gaining insights into the Dao.

...

Another two years passed.

Chen Mansion.

The day of the grand wedding!

People came endlessly, with over a hundred tables set and each table full of guests.

But strangely, there was no traditional wedding ceremony; the marriage was held just like that.

Because Chen Lan had no parents, and besides, the ceremony required three bows and nine kowtows. If he were to bow to heaven and earth or Li Lili’s parents, it might trigger upheavals in this realm, leading to its destruction.

After all, he was a Dao Ancestor, and the Heavenly Dao of this world knew from the start that he had arrived and could not withstand his kneeling.

Though his request was odd—whoever heard of a wedding without a ceremony?—the Li Family respected Chen Lan, as did Li Lili, so nothing was said; they simply held a banquet.

At night, in the bridal chamber.

"You’re not angry, are you?" Chen Lan asked, holding Li Lili on his lap, smiling.

"No, I believe everything you do is right, so how could I be angry?" Li Lili replied, smiling.

Over the years, she discovered many of Chen Lan’s virtues but also noticed something different—Chen Lan knew a lot and often said things she couldn’t understand, making her feel he wasn’t from this world.

Especially his ideas, which led the Li Family to develop many products, like black silk stockings, compasses, and many more, solidifying their status as the number one family in Luo Huang City and gaining fame in Qingzhou.

Moreover, his unique martial arts manuals led everyone in the Li Family to practice martial arts, strengthening their bodies and spreading throughout the city’s officials.

Not having a wedding ceremony wasn’t a big deal for Li Lili; she didn’t care for such things as long as she was with Chen Lan.

Hearing Li Lili’s understanding words, Chen Lan laughed and hugged her tighter.

"So...when will we consummate the marriage?" Li Lili suddenly blushed and quietly asked.

Hearing this, Chen Lan was taken aback. He had made the girl so eager that he wondered if he was still a man.

"Right now!"

Chen Lan leaned back, holding the girl as they lay in bed, pulling the bed curtains closed.

...(Here ten thousand words are omitted)

Another two years passed.

In the courtyard, Chen Lan was playing chess with Li Daming. Now in his middle age, he remained handsome.

"Son-in-law, speaking of which, it’s been two years, and you two still don’t have a child?" Li Daming suddenly asked.

This question made Chen Lan’s body tremble, his gaze becoming unfocused.

His constitution was that of a Dao Ancestor, making it very difficult for a woman to conceive, especially since Li Lili was a mortal, making it impossible.

What was destined to come had finally arrived, and Chen Lan could no longer avoid it after two years but had to face it.

But how should he speak of it?

Should he say he’s a cultivator, unable to have children with a mortal? It seemed he needed to find a way to muddle through—what way could he let Li Lili have a child?

"Father, what are you two talking about?"
