Chen Xuan was completely stunned.

Didn't you say you would respect my choices?

So it was just polite talk, but he was actually cursing her in his heart?

He hadn't even agreed to marry the four women from the demon race yet, and already one of them had a negative 40 points in favorability.

If I agree, wouldn't my favorability towards these two women immediately drop to negative 100?

At that point, the system will simply erase his consciousness!

A woman's terrifying jealousy...

Chen Xuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

No, absolutely not!

"Ahem, first of all, I am very grateful to the four seniors for their kindness to me, but to be honest, I am not a fickle person."

"I think that it is not a good thing for two people who do not love each other to be forced together because of a political marriage. It is painful for both parties."

"Moreover, I already have Yan'er and Luo'er, so please, seniors, do not bring up the matter of marriage again."

Chen Xuan politely cupped his hands in greeting and then spoke.

"What? You rejected us?"

These four quasi-supreme beings of the demon race never expected that Chen Xuan would directly refuse them.

One of them, who had a rather volatile temper, glared at him and said, "Boy, what do you mean by this? You're forming a marriage alliance with the Lin clan, but not with our demon clan. Are you looking down on our demon clan?"

Chen Xuan immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not that I look down on the demon race, but I really don't have the energy to marry a new wife."

The fox clan's quasi-supreme raised an eyebrow and said, "Young man, do you perhaps feel that humans and demons are different and therefore inconvenient? You can rest assured about that. My demon clan can transform into human form and be exactly the same as humans. You don't need to have any racial barriers."

Chen Xuan shook his head again and said, "Seniors, it's not what you think. I really don't want to take any more concubines. Please, seniors, let me go."

He kept bowing and begging for mercy as he spoke.

"No, why should they form a marriage alliance with the Lin clan but not with my demon clan?"

However, the other near-Supreme One was relentless.

“You kid, by marrying into the Lin clan, you've essentially forged a deep bond with them.”

"If you don't form a marriage alliance with my demon race, our relationship won't be as deep, and if something happens to my demon race in the future, you might not necessarily come to my aid!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan instantly understood.

Are the demons worried that he won't take action in the future?

Given the marriage alliance, he had to intervene no matter what, since they were nominally family!

"Hmph, you brat, you refuse to form a marriage alliance because you plan to take our Heavenly Treasure and then turn your back on it? After all, you humans are the most cunning of all, always going back on your word!"

The four supreme beings of the demon race all stared at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan burst into laughter, his smile full of pride: "So that's what you seniors were worried about. Rest assured, I, Chen, am a man of my word, and I mean what I say."

"I said I would protect your demon race from harm in the future, and I will never break my promise!"

However, even after all that had been said, some people still didn't believe it.

The sinister old man sneered, "Boy, your words are just empty talk and have no credibility whatsoever!"

To put it bluntly, they were still worried that Chen Xuan would break his promise and insisted on the marriage alliance.

They will only bring out the Heaven and Earth Gold if it is for a marriage alliance.

Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything.

"Since you are worried that I will break my promise, I have a good solution that can satisfy both parties!"

Chen Xuan chuckled.

As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way," and "When the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself."

Solutions are found by people; if there's no solution, then create one. He's not the kind of person who gets stuck on a rut.

"Hehe, handsome young man, do you have any good ideas? Tell me about them!"

The fox clan's quasi-supreme blinked his eyes. Despite his advanced age, which was that of an ancestor, his charm was far superior to that of a young woman.

In fact, for those who reach their level, there is not much difference between being a few hundred years old and a few hundred million years old; their physical appearance is that of a young woman in her early twenties.

Chen Xuan cupped his hands and smiled, "That's easy. I'll become sworn brothers with the four seniors, like brothers from different fathers and mothers!"

"When a brother is in trouble, we, being men of noble character, would never refuse to help!"

Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell into a brief, deathly silence.

Whether it was the four quasi-supreme beings of the demon race, or Lin Yan, Lin Luo, or even Dou Wu, they were all stunned.

They never dreamed that Chen Xuan would say such a thing.

To become sworn brothers with four ancient monsters from the four realms of the demon race?

Is this something a normal person could come up with?

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Kid, are you kidding us? We're older than your ancestors for 1,800 generations. You want to become sworn brothers with us?"

The short-tempered demon race quasi-supreme's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Lin Yan felt somewhat flustered and disoriented.

Even if Chen Xuan didn't want to marry a younger member of the demon race, he shouldn't have said something so outrageous, right?

Douwu burst out laughing, finding it extremely amusing.

"Kid, could you be any more outrageous?"

The gloomy old man spoke with a dark expression.

Should they be made to become sworn brothers with a younger person?

If word gets out, won't people laugh at them?

At his age, to become sworn brothers with a younger generation—isn't that a joke?

"Young man, this joke is not funny at all."

Even this near-supreme being from the fox clan shook his head.

Seeing their expressions of dissatisfaction, Chen Xuan remained calm and offered some words of advice:

"Everyone, in our cultivation world, we never care about age or seniority, but rather about strength. Those who are advanced are given priority."

"Even if you are tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years older than me, so what? As long as my realm is higher than yours, you have to call me senior and be respectful to me when you see me!"

"You have all seen my potential. Becoming a supreme being in the future is a foregone conclusion!"

"Just think about it, when I become the Supreme Being, you can tell everyone you meet, 'This is my brother.' Wouldn't that make you look good?"

"Believe me, having a supreme being as your brother will only bring you benefits, not harm!"

His words were quite tempting.

The short-tempered demon race quasi-supreme sneered, "You're sharp-tongued and eloquent, but everything you say is just empty promises. Can you guarantee you'll become a supreme being in the future?"

Chen Xuan replied decisively, "Yes!"

He didn't say anything unnecessary, just one word: Yes!

This is an invincible belief; only by possessing an invincible heart can one go further!
