Liu Yanyan nestled tightly against Fan Siyang's broad chest, gazing at him with tender affection.

The two were like dry wood meeting a raging fire, indulging themselves to the fullest.

Only after everything returned to calm did a sense of emptiness and loneliness arise.

"well--"

Fan Siyang sighed softly and gently caressed the woman's delicate body in his arms.

"What's wrong, Siyang? You look so sullen."

Liu Yanyan asked, puzzled.

Fan Siyang took a deep breath: "The thought that you are about to marry my senior brother makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Liu Yanyan buried her head even deeper: "Siyang, don't worry, I'm your person. Although your senior brother and I are getting married soon..."

But my heart will always belong only to you. We can still see each other often in the future, so don't think too much about it.

"But the thought of my senior brother sleeping with you makes me feel very sad."

"Siyang, that's right. At least you got my first time, didn't you? After that, I'll marry him."

"We still have a chance to be together. That fool is completely clueless and would never know that."

Upon hearing this, Fan Siyang felt much better.

There was even a hint of anticipation.

After all, it would be incredibly prestigious to cuckold the holy son of the dignified Tianyan Holy Sect.

Liu Yanyan continued, "Actually, the reason my mother wanted me to marry that fool was because she coveted his position at the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock."

As you know, the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock is brimming with natural wonders; the profits from just one medicinal herb field in a year exceed those of the entire Heavenly Evolution Sacred Sect combined.

If my Liu family could establish a connection with the Seven-Colored Saintly Monarch Rock through Liang Hao, our family would surely rise to the ranks of even higher-class cultivation families.

"At that time, I can also find opportunities for you, Siyang, to improve your cultivation. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Fan Siyang nodded upon hearing this: "Ayan, you are so thoughtful."

"So Siyang, will you still look down on me for spending time with that idiot? Will you still think I'm dirty?"

"How could that be? I like Ah Yan the most."

"Siyang..."

The two hugged again, ready for another round.

Just then, a thunderclap resounded outside the cave.

"Hey, what time is it? You two are still doing something shady here!"

A sallow-faced woman stood at the entrance of the cave, pounding her chest and stamping her feet.

The two immediately separated and hurriedly began to get dressed.

"Mother, what brings you here?"

"Auntie, we..."

"Stop talking, hurry up and get dressed. I have something to say to you when we come out."

After saying this, Mother Liu turned her back and walked out of the cave.

The two quickly dressed and tidied their clothes, and came to Liu's mother together.

Liu's mother crossed her legs, hugged her arms, and looked at the two of them with a sharp-mouthed, monkey-like face.

Liu Yanyan took the initiative to break the awkward silence: "Mother, what did you want to see me about?"

"What's going on? Do you know what you're doing? What kind of time is this? You two are still doing such shameless things. If word gets out, where will the Liu family put their face?"

Liu's mother looked at the two of them with a face full of disappointment and disappointment.

Fan Siyang remained silent and did not mention the matter at all.

Liu Yanyan, however, felt no shame whatsoever. Instead, she knelt down in front of her mother, took her hand, and said:

"Mother, I'm getting married soon and will be separated from Siyang. I want to spend one last tender moment with him, so please don't be angry, okay?"

After being coaxed by Liu Yanyan, Liu's mother softened a little.

"Forget it, you two should keep your affair well-hidden, and whatever you do, don't let that idiot Liang Hao find out."

The reason I called you here is to ask you to tell Liang Hao that you want to get married.

"You'll need to bring another 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, otherwise this marriage won't be so easy."

Upon hearing this, Fan Siyang, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.

As a core disciple of the sect, he only earns two hundred mid-grade spirit stones a month. If he wants to obtain more resources, he must do so through sect missions and other means.

But now the Liu family is demanding an additional 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones as a bride price, which truly shows how poverty limits his imagination.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan frowned: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Sect Leader Xu has already given quite a lot in betrothal gifts. If we ask for more like this, won't we be looked down upon?"

"What do you know?"

Liu's mother poked Liu Yanyan's head hard with her finger.

"I've already inquired about it; the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock where that fool lives is unimaginably rich."

The two already-exploited veins alone bring in at least tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones a day.

As a member of Saintly Monarch Rock, is it unreasonable for him to ask for 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones?

“But Mother, the current owner of the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock is Su Yunying, not him.”

"Su Yunying is that idiot's adopted sister. Do you think Liang Hao would be short of money?"

"Listen to me, just go and ask. I'll have Sect Leader Xu put pressure on him; I'm not afraid he won't give it to you."

"this……"

"What are you hesitating for? This matter must be done, and there's also the time until you marry that idiot."

We must seize control of his cash cow no matter what.

In time, my Liu family will also become a true part of the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock.

I'll whisper sweet nothings in his ear again, and get his sworn sister to gravitate all the resources of the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock towards my Liu family.

It would be even better if her sister relinquished the top position so you could take it over.

Clearly, Liu's mother was completely unaware of the true situation of the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock, naively believing that controlling Liang Hao was equivalent to controlling the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock.

"Yes, Mother, I understand."

Liu Yanyan didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
