After surviving for three years in the apocalypse, Yan Qingyan was pit into the cultivation world by a suddenly upgraded space. Not only was her talent poor from a young age, but she also unfortuna...
Chapter 3
Marriage? Abandoned!
No matter how loud the slogans are, we must return to reality.
The first urgent issue to be solved is to repair the Dantian.
The wood-based ability does help repair the Dantian, but the effect is minimal and the speed is too slow.
Yan Qingyan lowered her head in deep thought, trying hard to recall the memories of this life. Is there anything that can repair the Dantian?
Thousand-year-old Fengwu flower, fifth-grade resurrection pill, thousand-year-old nine-color holy flower...
These were the only ones she could think of, none of which she could afford, and even if she could, she couldn't find a way to buy them.
The thousand-year-old nine-color sacred flower was a legendary holy medicine that could revive the dead, but it has long since become extinct.
Yan Qingyan took out the only three medium-grade spirit stones and twelve low-grade spirit stones left in her purse, sighed, and threw them into the spiritual spring space.
By the way, before she fainted, she was holding two low-grade spirit stones in her hand, and no one knows who picked them up.
At this moment, the ban at the door was activated.
"Go in...uh..."
Yan Qingyan was about to say "come in" but when she saw that the person standing outside the door was Elder Yan Shi, she immediately shut her mouth.
"Qingyan, why don't you open the door? I know you're awake. Let me comfort you."
Elder Yan Shi shouted loudly when he saw that the restriction at the door had not moved.
Most of the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation often go into seclusion. It is taboo to disturb someone who is practicing in seclusion, and it will lead to a mortal feud.
In the Yan family, it is an iron rule that you cannot enter other people's houses without their consent.
Seeing that the people inside had not spoken for a long time, Elder Yan Shi had no choice but to chatter outside.
The other party still heard Yan Qingyan's word "enter".
"Look at you. I told you not to go out. Now you're in big trouble, right?"
"After you get married, stay at home and don't offend important people like you did that day. Not only will you get into trouble, but you will also have to let the head of the family clean up the mess for you."
"I have a way to exchange spirit stones for more silver. Since you can't practice in the future, remember to find me. As an elder, I am naturally willing to help."
"Don't be angry. You don't have the aptitude to build a foundation. It's fine now. Just look at it calmly."
"......"
Outside the door, Elder Yan Shi kept chattering, and inside the door, Yan Qingyan had already entered the space and didn't want to listen to a word.
It’s easy to imagine what Elder Yan Shi would say given his personality, but Yan Qingyan still felt unhappy.
This person has reached the middle stage of foundation building and can live up to three hundred years.
But the Foundation Establishment Stage is already his limit.
Yan Qingyan thought to herself, 'In the future, she will also build a foundation, and come back to slap him hard in the face! '
......
After an unknown amount of time, Elder Yan Shi had left.
This time the person knocking on the door was an acquaintance.
"Come in~"
The person who came was Yan Qingyan's cousin Yan Le'er, who was the most well-informed person in the Yan family. Any movement inside or outside Qingyang City could be hidden from her eyes and ears.
She has fair skin and big, bright eyes. She looks like the girl next door and is very lovable.
"It's worthy of being a world of cultivating immortals. They are all so pleasing to the eye," Yan Qingyan thought.
She really didn't want to see those ugly zombies anymore!
"Qingyan~"
Yan Le'er walked in slowly, holding a vermilion contract scroll, and looked at Yan Qingyan with some sympathy.
"What's wrong? Just tell me, I can bear it." Yan Qingyan had a smile on her lips and looked at the other person with her crescent-shaped eyes.
Although Yan Qingyan does not plan to rely too much on space in this life like in her previous life, her mentality is different with her baby by her side, and she feels extremely safe.
Yan Le'er was stunned, obviously not expecting her cousin to be in such a good mood.
If her Dantian had been destroyed, her Taoist faith would have collapsed long ago.
Yan Le'er said bluntly, "The head of the family asked me to inform you of the future arrangements. You will marry Ling Mochen, the eldest son of the second branch of the Ling family, and you will settle in Yujiang Village from now on."
Yan Le'er finished speaking quickly, with an indignant look on her face. Most of the people in Yujiang Village were ordinary people, and it was a poor and remote place with no money. It was obvious that they had completely given up on their cousin Qingyan.
"Alas~ If it weren't for the incident with the envoy from the Biyue Sect, you would have stayed in the city and become a shopkeeper. I saw the housekeeper change it with my own eyes!" Yan Le'er continued.
Yan Qingyan was stunned. Marriage? Or with Ling Mochen?
"Wait!" Yan Qingyan interrupted Yan Le'er's mumbling and asked in confusion, "You want me to get married? Or with Ling Mochen? Are you sure?"
Ling Mochen knew that the Ling family and her Yan family were two of the three major families in Qingyang City. Although he was a legitimate descendant, his biological mother died early, and after that he had a stepmother and a stepfather. The second master of the Ling family favored the youngest son, and all the resources were invested in the youngest son. Even though Ling Mochen was talented, he could only go out alone to look for opportunities.
But the head of the Ling family seems to be very optimistic about his future. Logically speaking, he shouldn't use him for marriage, right?
Yan Le'er slapped her forehead, looking a little annoyed. Qingyan had not left the house for the past two days in order to recuperate from her injuries, so no one must have told her!
She said with the same indignant tone, "You don't know yet, something big has happened! Yin Siwen has taken a fancy to our cousin Yan Xinna, and he wanted to seize her right away. Sister Xinna must not be happy about that! She shouted 'I like Ling Mochen' while pulling her. Good guy, just one sentence angered Yin Siwen, and he actually ordered his men to destroy Ling Mochen's Dantian!"
"tear!"
Yan Qingyan gasped. My goodness, this Yin Siwen is truly lawless!
Yan Xinna is the daughter of the head of the family. She has a bright and charming oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry-red lips, and snow-white and translucent skin. She is very beautiful. She can be said to be the most beautiful woman in their Yan family except for her cousin Yan Siyu from the second master's family.
The Biyue Sect...what a crappy sect it is to have raised such a thing!
Yan Le'er couldn't stop talking for a while. She continued, "Ling Mochen was abandoned in his family, and the head of the Ling family didn't dare to say a word. Yan Xinna was taken away, and our head did the same. I realized that the three major families in Qingyang City are not as good as a servant in the eyes of those big sects. I'm so angry!"
Yan Qingyan nodded in agreement. The patriarch's cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation building, and the highest cultivation in the city was only the city lord who was in the early stage of golden elixir. But Yin Siwen who came from the Biyue Sect was not only in the late stage of foundation building, but all the guards around him were golden elixir!
Yan Le'er said that the Yujiang Village where she was exiled was a poor and remote place, but in the eyes of the people from the Biyue Sect, their Qingyang City was probably not much different from a poor and remote place.
Yan Le'er continued to complain, "After Yin Siwen left, the Ling family came to our Yan family to ask for an explanation. The head of the family must have been in the wrong and had to pay a large amount of immortal cultivation resources. Humph, I don't believe that even a single bit of this resource will fall into Ling Mochen's hands!"
As for the marriage between him and Yan Qingyan, anyone with a discerning eye could see that on the one hand, he didn't want to damage the harmony between the two families because of this matter. On the other hand, the Dantian of the two of them had been destroyed. If they were just thrown to the countryside to fend for themselves, it would seem too cruel and would also bring bad reputation. So he wanted to drive them away in an "elegant" way.
But she didn't say this directly, because the person involved was right in front of her, and she shouldn't provoke him as he had just recovered from a serious injury.
Yan Qingyan nodded in agreement. She also felt so. The styles of the two family heads were pretty much the same. No, this was the trend throughout Qingyang City.
As for what the situation is like outside Qingyang City, she has never traveled far, so she doesn't know for the time being.
Yan Le'er handed over the vermilion scroll in her hand, which was covered with golden characters.
It was a blank marriage contract.
"Qingyan, Yujiang Village was originally a subsidiary village under the jurisdiction of our Ling family. It was given to the Ling family as an apology three days ago. From now on, it will be under the jurisdiction of the two of you. You can sign this marriage contract when you arrive in Yujiang Village."
"The head of the family asked you to pack up and leave in the next two days, and it seems that Ling Mochen left yesterday."
I can't wait.
Yan Qingyan really didn't like the feeling of having her fate arranged. No one asked for her opinion in advance, and no one cared whether she was willing or not. Her sense of independence was completely ignored, but she had no ability to resist.
Even if this is the norm for the big families in Qingyang City, even if the custom here has always been like this, even if resistance will be labeled as ungrateful, I just don't like it.
But no matter how unhappy she was, she was only targeting the two family heads. She didn't want to transfer her negative emotions to Yan Le'er, who was just delivering a message, or to Ling Mochen, whose fate was also controlled.
Just wait and see, things may change over time. She is the girl of destiny in the Lingquan Space!
Yan Qingyan hesitated for a moment and replied softly, "Okay."
She is quite satisfied with the current situation. Compared with working as an assistant in those shops, farming is more suitable for her.
She is a wood-type mutant.
Yan Le'er breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible degree of relief. She was really afraid that Qingyan would get emotional, as she was not good at comforting people.
Yan Le'er took out a purse from her arms, which contained a token that could prove her identity and facilitate management.
The two chatted for a long time, and Yan Le'er left when it was almost sunset.
Yan Qingyan was the only one left in the room. She took out a spiritual plant seed, activated her wood-related abilities, and a sprout grew out instantly.
Yan Qingyan smiled.
The wood-related supernatural power and the spiritual spring space are the things that can bring her the greatest sense of security in this world of immortal cultivation full of dangers.
