<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
After receiving Miao Qing Cheng’s 10,000 years worth of cultivationprehensions, Jun Mo Xie would save a lot of time trying to find his way alone! He only needed to understand theseprehensions ande up with his ownprehensions that were suitable for the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, and he would be able to create his own path!
That would be a cultivation technique that belonged to Jun Mo Xie... alone!
In fact, this cultivation technique might even be capable of being superior to the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune!
Of course, that was only a matter for consideration after he reached the Ninth level of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune.
But just this discovery right now was enough to cause Jun Mo Xie’s little heart to beat crazily with excitement!
This was a gift that was so huge that it was difficult to measure! Inparison to that minor bit of effort that Jun Mo Xie had used to heal his soul... it waspletely on a different scale. If that bit of life energy from the little tree was a light in the darkness, Miao Qing Cheng’spensation was like the dazzling moon in the nine heavens, or the midday sun!
Even with his great efforts so far, he had only managed to fumble out a rudimentary path to heaven. But this time, Miao Qing Cheng had pretty much given him a much more solid foundation!
Miao Qing Cheng had not mentioned why he did that, and Jun Mo Xie had not asked either. But in his heart, he had remembered this favor. The favor that he owed this time was simply too huge!
If he had the ability in the future, he would definitelye back to help Miao Qing Cheng and absolve the problem of the Heavenly Punishment!
Only that way, would he feel more at ease in his heart.
Although Miao Qing Cheng had not requested anything of him, Jun Mo Xie vowed this in his heart!
Back at the great hall, Miao Jing Yun spoke first. “Jun Ye ah, look here... the matter between you and Xiao Miao is more or less set now. If you don’t have any opinions, shall we settle the procedures first? Even if we don’t rush toplete the marriage ceremony first, we should hold an engagement ceremony first!”
Normally, since ‘Mo Jun Ye’ was just a junior, and he didn’t have any kin with him, it would be fine to simply look for Cao Guo Feng to discuss this matter. But he’d heard that this Mo Jun Ye still had a wife...
If it was before he met the old ancestor, even if Mo Jun Ye said that he had a wife, it wouldn’t be a problem no matter how many he had. He would simply act forcefully, demanding that he divorce all of them. Miao Xiao Miao could only be the biggest wife and the only wife! But now, since the old ancestor had ced such importance on thisd and had even told him not to provoke thetter, everything was different!
Especially now that this matter concerned an ‘inner court’, it was even more difficult to handle if Cao Guo Feng was involved...
And so, he could only deal directly with Mo Jun Ye.
Jun Mo Xie fidgeted for a moment and asked in a serious manner: “What does Senior mean?”
“It’s not that this old man is trying to boast. Our Xiao Miao is undoubtedly a match for you whether it be her looks, character, or intelligence. Do you agree on this point?” Miao Jing Yun stroked his long beard and asked with a faint smile.
“That is naturally so! Miss Miao is pure hearted and kind, like a fairy in human form. She is more than enough to suit even the most outstanding man in this world!” Jun Mo Xiepletely did not hide his admiration for Miao Xiao Miao.
“Hur hur, it’s good that you think so. But I wonder if that wife of yours... this old man doesn’t know if you’d officially tied the knot with her, but we’ll call her as such for now...” Miao Xiao Miao said with a light chuckle: “That girl... how is she, whenpared to Xiao Miao?”
Jun Mo Xie fell silent for a moment, and sighed heavily, saying, “Although Miss Miao is undoubtedly a rare beauty of the world, my wife... is an unsurpassed beauty of a generation, peerless and withoutpare! Although Miss Miao is as fair as a flower and beautiful as the moon, she... is ultimately still a mortal beauty! But my wife... is a fairy descended on earth, iparable among the mortal realm! I hope that Senior will not take offense... but if Miss Miao waspared with her, although she would not pale much inparison, there would still be a considerable gap between them!”
As Jun Mo Xie spoke, the dream-like image of Mei Xue Yan appeared before his eyes, and he felt a strange warmth in his heart. In that moment, a contented grin even appeared on his face.
Miao Jing Yun’s lips twitched, and the muscle beside his eyes spasmed uncontrobly.
He thought that since he’d taken the first step and asked, this Mo Jun Ye brat would at least say a few words in modesty... besides, old man Miaopletely did not believe that there was any woman more beautiful than his Miao Xiao Miao in this world. And that such a beautiful girl would just so happen to be this brat’s wife as well...
As long as Mo Jun Ye said any humble words, he could immediately follow up with countless undeniable words, forcing this brat until he had no paths for retreat! But to think that this fellow would talk like this the instant he opened his mouth! Not only was he not humble, he’d even directly propped his wife to the heavens...
In that instant, Miao Jing Yun suddenly felt the impulse to smack this hateful brat to death with a single p...
“So...” Jun Mo Xie continued in an unhurried manner. “If Manor Lord wishes to advise me to break off with my wife and remarry... there’s no need to speak about it any further. As for the engagement, I’m afraid it’ll have to be dyed.”
After saying that, Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and raised his head to look at Miao Jing Yun. His eyes were clearly saying: The n you have in your mind is definitely not going to work! Everything will only move ording to the will of this Young Master!
“Little brat Mo, ording to your words... are you intending on letting this old man’s granddaughter, the princess of the Misty Illusory Manor, be your concubine?” Miao Jing Yun stared at him, his eyes zing with rage.
“Manor Lord is too speaking too seriously. That was not my intention.” Jun Mo Xie shrugged his shoulder and said. “Truthfully, I had not nned for this matter to reach such a step originally! The reason I’d been so harsh this afternoon, was precisely because of this. I didn’t want to hurt Miss Miao, and I didn’t want to be unfair to my wife, which was why I had decided to do that. But I hadn’t anticipated that Miss Miao would because of this matter, nearly... As such I had no choice but to change my initial ns. I simply cannot watch by the side as a country toppling beauty and such a kind hearted girl... perish because of me. Moreover, I do have some good feelings towards Miss Miao as well...
“It was precisely because of that that I came here this afternoon!” Jun Mo Xie said in a stern manner. “However, I did note because of her beauty, and moreso...” He looked steadily at Miao Jing Yun’s eyes: “... not for the power and influence of the Misty Illusory Manor!”
“Then you tell me, what should we do? You need to give me a concrete arrangement at the very least!” Miao Jing Yun was so angry that his beard waspletely straight. However, there was nothing he could do at all. This fellow refused to ept both gentle and harsh methods, and even had a powerful backing. On top of that, his granddaughter was dead set on not marrying anyone else but him! To only be able to watch as his beloved granddaughter was fiercely chomped up by others like this, Miao Jing Yun felt an intense sense of powerlessness...
“The only thing I can promise you is that with me, there will be no differentiation of big or small positions!” Jun Mo Xie said in a serious manner. “Whether it is the daughter of a rich and powerful family or amon girl, as long as I’ve approved of them, their positions will be the same after entering my family! They can call each other elder or younger sisters based on age, but in terms of position, there will be no discrimination!”
Miao Jing Yun’s mouth hung wide open, and he couldn’t speak at all for a long time. “No differentiation of positions, can refer to each other as sisters... so, you’re saying... that there’s not just one or two wives in your harem?” This reaction was not from shock, but from anger...
“Isn’t it a normal thing for a capable man to have many wives and concubines? Why is there a need for Senior to be so surprised?” Now that Jun Mo Xie could finally say those words that every man dreamt of being able to say, he felt a great satisfaction in his heart!
Although he had only said that to make preparations for himself in the future, those words were not contradictory to his heart...
Miao Jing Yun waspletely speechless with rage!
Although those words were the truth and were even the dream in every man’s heart, but to actually say it in front of the grandfather of a girl he was intending to marry... Young Master Jun could possibly be the first in this world to do that!
Too utterly shameless...
“You... you brat... simply shameless to the extreme!” Old man Miao was so angry that he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, and he pointed at Jun Mo Xie with a shaky finger. “You’re dreaming!”
“It’s not my business how you think.” Jun Mo Xie shook his head. “Dare I ask Manor Lord... how many wives and concubines do you have?”
Miao Jing Yun was instantly stumped, unable to reply.
Miao Jing Yun indeed had quite a few wives and concubines. In this 500 years, he’d at least taken the role of a groom for 70, 80 times by a conservative estimate. Just the number of wives he’d taken for the sake of political marriage alliances were not few. So Manor Lord Miaopletely did not know how to reply to this question.
“How can youpare yourself with the Manor Lord?” Miao Dao looked coldly at Jun Mo Xie and asked in a cold voice.
“Why can’t I bepared with him?” Jun Mo Xie asked in an incredulous tone. “All of us are men here, so what words cannot be said? I was only speaking frankly...”
“Speaking frankly? You were only speaking frankly? But your words are a little too straightforward?!” Miao Jing Yun finally managed to catch his breath.
“This is something that cannot be helped as well! While this junior was residing in the Xuan Xuan Continent, the world out there was very chaotic, with wars raging all around constantly! Every year, the number of soldiers that died in the battlefield would exceed tens of millions! And these people, were in majority, men! In other words, countless orphans and widows would be created every year, and there would also berge numbers of young girls at the appropriate age to marry. With the umtion of such a long time, the disparity between the number of men and women grew exceedingly huge! That was the situation in the entire continent, and it’s not something that I alone can change!
“In that kind of situation, any guy that was slightly more outstanding would instantly win the admiration of many youngdies. It’s only natural that a capable young man would have many beautiful women by his side! Does Senior intend to deny this point?”
Jun Mo Xie continued without the slightest embarrassment. “Could it be that you would rather these girls die alone on the shelf than allow them to pursue their own happiness?”
“But Miao Miao is the princess of the Misty Illusory Manor; how can her status beparable to those other girls?” Miao Jing Yun said with a fierce snort.
“I’ve said it before just now; the power and influence of the Misty Illusory Manor does not mean anything to me! It is but floating clouds in my eyes. If you insist on making me choose, I can only tell you that I’m sorry!” Jun Mo Xie refused to budge a single step. He could already tell that there was no way to get through to this old man by reasoning, and so hepletely cut to the chase, kicking the ball back into his court.
