[Year 52nd]
In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year again.
Li Wei's urging for marriage had indeed taken effect!
Among Li Yaotie's seven children, Li Yundou had reached the age of 17 and bore a striking resemblance to his father. Of course, it wasn't just his physique, as everyone in Li Yaotie's line was broad-shouldered and sturdy, including the women. Each one of them was remarkably similar to their parents in temperament.
Li Yundou was not only similar in appearance but had also truly taken Li Yaotie's words to heart.
[Your third-generation descendant, Li Yundou, fell in love at first sight with a beautiful woman in the village. He asked her on the spot to bear him a child and got slapped in the face. Someone also reported this to the Li family, and Li Yaowen punished him with three lashes and made him kneel before the ancestral tablets for seven days.]
[Li Yundou once again pursued the woman passionately, claiming he would die the next day and asking her to take him to her room. He got beaten up again and was punished by being hung up in the village for three days as a warning.]
[In October of that year, Li Yundou reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.]
[When the Azure Cloud City region power was harassing the Chen family of Tailin, he joined the Black Blood Hall to help the Chen family and fought alongside them against the enemy. However, they were pursued by a cultivator at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment. During their escape, he shared life and death with Chen Lin, a daughter of the Chen family, and they were ultimately saved by the ancestral tablet. During this time, feelings developed between them.]
[In November, the Li family proposed marriage to the Chen family.]
"Finally, someone from the third generation has made me proud!"
Li Wei jumped up in excitement!
No wonder he was anxious!
The third generation's Li Yunlin is already 31 years old, and there's no sign of any romantic activity. There are so many women in the Skyveil Sect who look like celestial beings, but this kid doesn't even glance at them. If Li Yunlin hadn't also shown little interest in handsome men, Li Wei would almost have misunderstood!
That kid Li Yunbing did listen, but he's naturally shy and reserved, and rarely interacts with people outside the family. There are some women who are attracted to Li Yunbing's status and appearance and throw themselves at him, but are those the kind of women you want?
Not long after.
In the scene, lanterns and decorations were already hung up. Even though it was chaotic outside, the Li family still brought people to Tailin Town for the wedding. The Chen family was even more anxious than the Li family because their family had almost been wiped out. They were able to maintain their foothold in Tailin Town only because of the Li family's loyalty and righteousness.
At this moment, the two families were happily united in marriage. The golden boy and jade girl were also deeply in love, and the Chen family was so excited that they almost changed their surname to Li on the spot.
At the wedding banquet, Chen Chuang, who had originally formed a bond with the Li family, now had white hair on his head. He was the current head of the Chen family and also Chen Lin's grandfather.
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but he couldn't help but frown. Taking advantage of the wedding banquet, he turned to Li Dalong and said, "Brother Li, the people from Azure Cloud City region are becoming increasingly arrogant. All of our Chen family's mines outside of Tailin Town have been seized by them, and their appetite will only grow larger. Our Chen family..., I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on much longer."
The head of the Su family, who was standing nearby, also shook his head and sighed. "My Su family is the same. A few months ago, they even sent two fake Core Formation cultivators to harass us in the middle of the night. Our Su family's grand formation was severely damaged. If it weren't for our hidden trump cards, the Su family would have been destroyed in my own hands, Su Tianyun."
Li Dalong narrowed his eyes.
He knew that these two families must have a request; otherwise, they wouldn't be complaining in front of him. He smiled and said, "You two, just speak your minds. Our three families have known each other for many years, and we know each other's ins and outs. We also share a common enemy when facing the outside world. There's no need to be evasive. You know my personality, Li Dalong."
"Alright, since you put it that way, in-law, I won't hold back either!"
Chen Chuang gritted his teeth and said, "I want the Chen family lineage to continue, Brother Li. I don't want Tailin Town anymore. Anyway, our foundation and heritage have been almost destroyed. I want to take everyone and everything and leave Sky Jade City region!"
Li Dalong's brows furrowed even deeper as he looked at Su Yun.
Su Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Me too."
"You want to leave?!?"
Having thought these two families had some requests, Li Dalong's eyes widened like copper bells upon hearing this news. "Can you really let go of your family's legacy built over many years?"
"What else can we do? Sit and wait for our demise?"
Chen Chuang downed a whole pot of wine in one gulp. "Lost businesses can be rebuilt, but lost lives are gone forever. After we leave, the Li family will need to be careful. Everything our two families leave behind, including the entire Tailin Town, will belong to the Li family. I hope the Li family can take good care of the people of Tailin. This place is not our roots, it's theirs."
Hearing this, Li Dalong also saw that their minds were made up and had no words to dissuade them.
Now that his old friends were leaving, he could only watch his grandson's wedding with a heavy heart, trying to distract himself.
At the wedding banquet.
Li Yundou looked at Chen Lin, who was wearing a red veil, and burst into tears on the spot.
The Li family members frowned, thinking, the bride isn't crying; what's with a grown man crying like this?
This man, standing nine feet tall, looked pitifully aggrieved and called out to his siblings, "Father really isn't a good person; don't believe him for a second, or you'll end up just like me!"
"He even said that if you just cling to a girl and tell her you're going to die tomorrow, you'll win her over."
"It's all lies, every bit of it! You have no idea how much I've suffered this past year..."
"Until I finally met Lin'er!"
Li Yaotie, who was sitting far away, seemed to be still smiling, but now he looked as if he'd turned to stone. His face darkened, and he was holding a cup of wine, unsure whether to drink it or put it down.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone at the wedding banquet, he glared at the newlywed Li Yundou with gritted teeth.
"Stop talking, don't fucking force me to beat you up on such a happy day!"
Instantly, the entire wedding banquet erupted in laughter.
Upon hearing her husband's complaints, Chen Lin lifted her veil, revealing a delicate face as pure as a snow lotus. She reached out and pinched Li Yundou's ear fiercely, "What did you say? You still dare to flirt with other girls?"
"Ah!" Li Yundou grimaced, "No, that was in the past when I was tricked by my father. I definitely haven't done that now!"
"Hahaha!" Both the Li family members and the banquet guests were filled with smiles.
Li Wei, watching everything from in front of the screen, saw the words 'The couple bows to each other and enters the bridal chamber' light up.
His grin stretched almost from ear to ear.
[Congratulations! Your third-generation descendant Li Yundou is married to Chen Lin!]
[Received Incense +100!]
As the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber, the candlelight from within shines through the window, mingling with the moonlight in the darkness.
[Your descendant, Li Yundou, newlywed and smitten, has discovered the joys of the marital bed. Seven times in one night! The legends are true. This feat even surpasses the number of enemies he and his wife, Chen Lin, slain together in Tailin Town.]
[As the rooster crows, heralding the dawn, Chen Lin, the third-generation daughter-in-law of the Li family, finds herself carrying the Li family's seed!]
