The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 211: Back to back marriage proposals

"What are you talking about? And who is this Jian Shen? I've never heard of his name until now."

Rolling her eyes, Xiao Meilin said, "That's why everyone considers you an idiot. Jian Shen is the boy who my daughter brought here with her."

Turning and glaring towards Jian Shen, the man let out his Saint Realm pressure and tried to make Jian Shen run away from fear.

Unfortunately, such a thing didn't happen.

Instead, Jian Shen whispered, "Do I need to act as if I'm being affected by this weak pressure?", into Zheng Niu's ears and managed to make everyone else inside the house hear those words.

As Xiao Meilin began chuckling, her husband however had an ugly look on his face which was part shame as well.

Jian Shen didn't do such a thing intentionally and truly wanted to know if that was what he needed to do, and since Zheng Niu understood this as well, she didn't feel too bad about it.

Turning back towards his wife, "You can't do this. Zheng Niu is already engaged to Yan Bo. And, what's so special about this brat anyway? He hasn't even entered the Saint Realm yet!"

"Humph! Jian Shen has entered the Sage Realm before even reaching 20 years, not in his 40s like Yan Bo did."

"But... But I promised Yan Bo's parents!"

"Does it look like I care?"

After she said those words there was no longer a conversation between the husband and wife as they just kept on looking at each other. And the more they looked at each other, the more ugly Xiao Meilin's husband's face had turned.

In fact, Jian Shen who was seeing all of this for the first time ever felt like the man would soon start crying.

Luckily, before something like that happened the man walked away by stomping his legs and saying, "Do whatever you want! I won't have anything to do with the wedding!"

"Do whatever you want, this marriage is going to happen."

Looking towards her daughter for confirmation, Xiao Meilin chose to stick with her words and not change them.

Once the man who had just come back had once again left the courtyard, Xiao Meilin said, "Since the two of you want to get married, I've got no problems at all. But now that I've lost my husband due to helping you two, what would happen to me after my daughter marries and leaves me as well?"

Jian Shen truly didn't have an answer and therefore looked towards Zheng Niu telling her that the question was hers to answer.

"Ummmm... Do you want to stay with us?"

"The wife's mother living with the newly married couple wouldn't be good, right?"

'That's not what your excited smile is saying!'

Not saying those words out loud, Zheng Niu spoke while her lips were twitching, "I didn't mean in the same house!!!"

Letting out a disappointed sigh, Xiao Meilin asked, "Then what did you mean?"

"Jian Shen has a treasure which can let you live inside it without any problems."

"But living all alone would be very boring. Can I bring my friends over? Not many, just a few fif..."

Throwing her head back and loudly breathing, Zheng Niu was just about to say something with Xiao Meilin shook her head and said, "That was a joke. Lighten up, girl."

"Now tell me more about Jian Shen."

"I can tell you more about him than your daughter can. What do you want to know about him?"

"Oh, let's starts from the beginning shall we?"

Feeling a little awkward from the three women talking about him, Jian Shen chose to slip out of the courtyard when Wuying spoke to him.

"Now that you're free, let's go and meet my father."

This time it was Jian Shen who felt like crying. He had just finished meeting with Zheng Niu's obviously weird parents, and now he had to meet with Wuying's father?

How weird would that man be?

As if seeing through Jian Shen's thoughts, Wuying said, "My father isn't as weird as those two that you just met."

And indeed her words were true. As someone who had already heard about Jian Shen when he was in the Wu Yun Continent, Wuying's father had zero troubles is giving his daughter away to Jian Shen who was the disciple of a False Immortal Cultivator.

Now all that was left to do was decide on a date for the wedding and actually do it, but seeing how tired Jian Shen looked right now Wuying chose to not say anything about it for the time being.

Reluctantly going back to the courtyard where Xiulan, Zheng Niu and her mother were at, Jian Shen found the three of them still talking about him.

Seeing Jian Shen come back, unlike Zheng Niu who tried her best to not ask the question, Xiulan directly asked him, "Did Wuying's father give you permission to marry her?"

Looking towards Xiulan who was whispering something into Xiao Meilin's ears, Jian Shen understood that she was deliberately doing this.

"Marrying another woman? What status do you plan on giving my daughter after you marry her?"

With his mouth wide open, Jian Shen who had just entered the courtyard turned around to leave while not showing any indication that he was going to answer the question.

"She was just.. "

Pushing her daughter down, Xiao Meilin chose to personally run after Jian Shen.
