"Fourth brother! What are you still hesitating for?"
Seeing that Shui Dai was still hesitating, Hua Tiegan became anxious and said to his other two sworn brothers, "Eldest brother, third brother, you must persuade fourth brother! Such a good match should not be missed!"
The elder brother, Lu Tianshu, advised, "Fourth brother, it is Sheng'er's good fortune that someone like Young Master Murong has taken a liking to her!"
The third brother, Liu Chengfeng, said with great distress, "Fourth brother, Sheng'er's fiancé has already died. Do you want Sheng'er to be a widow from now on? She's only eighteen!"
After several people took turns persuading him, Shui Dai finally wavered.
Shui Sheng's initially astonished gaze turned blank. Yes, she was only 18 years old, but her cousin was dead. Was she destined to remain a widow?
Thinking about it this way, marrying Murong Fu isn't entirely unacceptable.
Shui Dai said in a deep voice, "Young Master Murong, I agree. I will let Sheng'er become your concubine. Please release her pressure points!"
"In that case, everyone please excuse us."
Murong Fu showed no sorrow or joy, and nodded slightly.
Seeing Murong Fu so calm, Shui Dai's heart sank again.
He was about to have his daughter, but showed no joy whatsoever.
This suggests that in Murong Fu's eyes, Sheng'er was probably not a particularly beautiful woman.
This filled Shui Dai with inexplicable sorrow. After all, this was a daughter he had raised for eighteen years, and now he was just handing her over to someone else, who was not very satisfied.
Murong Fu, unaware of his complex psychology, took out a tent from his bundle to provide cover.
Then, the acupoints on Shui Sheng were released.
During this time, she inevitably made some attempts, which made Shui Sheng blush.
For quite a while.
Success!
Shui Sheng excitedly clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you so much for saving me, Young Master Murong!"
Murong Fu's eyes shone brightly, and he smiled faintly, "Miss Shui Sheng, you are too kind. Anyone would do the same when they see injustice on the road, and it is just a small favor."
Upon hearing this, Shui Sheng's face fell, and her eyes instantly reddened: "Young Master Murong... do you mean you want to divorce me?"
"Why are you crying? Don't worry, I didn't say I didn't want you."
Murong Fu was both amused and exasperated. He helped her wipe away the small pearl, held up three fingers as if making a vow, and said with utmost seriousness:
"I, Murong Fu, swear that I will never betray Miss Shui Sheng in this life. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated!"
After Murong Fu finished making his vow, he looked down at Shui Sheng and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"
Shui Sheng burst into laughter through her tears, her eyes filled with Murong Fu, and she threw herself into his arms.
Silence speaks louder than words.
Outside.
Hearing Murong Fu's vow.
Hua Tiegan stroked his beard with satisfaction and laughed, "Fourth brother, are you satisfied with this? Murong Fu has sworn a solemn oath that you will be the father-in-law of the Southern Murong family from now on."
"Congratulations, Fourth Brother."
"Fourth brother, once this news gets out, your reputation as Leng Yuejian Shui Dai will surpass ours."
Lu Tianshu and Liu Chengfeng both offered their congratulations with smiles.
Shui Dai finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "What use is my reputation? As long as Sheng'er finds a good man, I will be satisfied."
A long time passed.
They noticed something was off about the sounds coming from inside the tent, so they all turned away and took a few steps back.
Hua Tiegan patted Shui Dai on the shoulder and comforted him, "Fourth brother, young people are like dry wood and hot fire, it's understandable."
"Yes, I can totally understand. Back in the day, my wife and I were just as anxious."
"Fourth brother, don't overthink it. Sheng'er is already Murong Fu's concubine. What they do is in accordance with propriety."
The brothers were all trying to persuade Shui Dai.
Shui Dai was at a loss for words. In front of his father-in-law, his ex-wife's body was still warm... What could he say? Of course, he wished them a long and happy life together.
Inside the tent.
Murong Fu was dispelling Shui Sheng's internal energy.
Although her internal energy, honed through more than ten years of arduous cultivation, was only at the late stage of the Acquired Realm, it was still the result of hard work, and Shui Sheng felt very sorry for her.
At the same time, she felt waves of bitterness, which made her utter an embarrassing sound.
Murong Fu said earnestly, "Sheng'er, I will pass on the Northern Darkness Divine Art to you. This is the ultimate skill of the Free and Unfettered Sect. From now on, you must cultivate it well and not disgrace the reputation of the Free and Unfettered Sect."
Shui Sheng knelt on one knee: "This humble servant thanks you, young master."
Murong Fu helped her up and said with a smile, "We are husband and wife, there is no need for thanks."
"Hmm~"
Shui Sheng nodded shyly.
A long time passed.
The two then left the tent.
Seeing Shui Sheng's rosy cheeks, the four brothers, Luo Hua Liu Shui, exchanged glances, all of them having been through similar experiences.
But.
Seeing that Shui Sheng's walking posture had not changed, they couldn't help but wonder if she was just testing her skills.
Murong Fu glanced around, then clasped his hands in greeting and asked, "Uncles, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to pursue the Blood Blade Demon, or something else?"
Hua Tiegan clasped his hands in greeting and replied, "I dare not lie to you. We were originally planning to go to Shaoshi Mountain to participate in the martial arts tournament, but we encountered the Blood Saber Demon on the way and fought with him, seriously injuring him. We then chased him all the way here."
Shui Dai sighed, "Second Brother, you're just flattering yourself. That Blood Blade Demon was already injured. We were only chasing after him, and we still lost quite a few men."
At this point, Shui Dai glanced at his nephew's corpse. If he hadn't been killed by the Blood Blade Demon, the person who married his daughter would have been his nephew.
"Ahem!" Hua Tie coughed and said seriously, "Fourth brother, why flatter that Blood Blade Demon? Even if he wasn't injured, would the four of us brothers be afraid of him? It's just that he's rather cunning, running away all the way without confronting us head-on."
None of them refuted it; it was indeed true, we were just that powerful.
"I see! My uncles are truly benevolent, righteous, and chivalrous; I admire them greatly!" Murong Fu nodded.
"I happen to be heading to Shaoshi Mountain as well, so how about I travel with you uncles?"
"Perfect!"
The group readily agreed.
