"Sect Leader Shen, I have it."
"How dare you!"
"Su Meier, I am very disappointed in you. You do not care about the safety of the sect."
“Yu Yan, Yu Feng, what do you think? I suggest that this scourge be executed immediately.”
The Supreme Elder's expression turned bitter. She knew her sisters' reprimand of Mei'er was an act, but who was Shen Yuan? Mei'er had personally admitted to harboring murderous intent towards her disciple; she feared Shen Yuan wouldn't show any mercy. "Mei'er, you're so foolish. Even if you lied, the elders could have covered for you, given you some gifts, and maybe things would have been fine," she thought bitterly. Every disciple of the Joyful Union Sect was her sister, and she truly didn't want to abandon them unless absolutely necessary. But now, this desperate moment had arrived.
Shen Yuan stopped the elders of the Hehuan Sect from reprimanding Su Meier, and turned to Yu Yan, saying, "Sister Yu Yan, this is the Myriad Gods Cauldron that I used to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation. It's very useful. I'm giving it to you. It can help you withstand most of the lightning tribulations. With the help of your sisters, you will definitely be able to take that step." After saying that, she took out the Myriad Gods Cauldron from her storage space and handed it to Yu Yan.
Yu Yan was stunned. This was a sudden change in tone. She stared blankly at the cauldron, then asked blankly, "Sect Master Shen... why... why?"
Shen Yuan smiled and said gently, "Look at Mei'er's belly."
The elders then carefully observed Su Meier's body. Su Meier was stunned. She kept looking inward and found that there was a faint life force in her body. Knowing the principles of this, she immediately understood what this life force represented and also understood Shen Yuan's abnormal behavior.
"Mei'er, you..."
"Great news! Yu Feng, quickly give the order: Yu Lu Xing will celebrate for three days, and the entire clan will have a three-day holiday, with no make-up days!"
"Okay."
Yu Yan looked at Su Meier with surprise and said gently, "Meier, you've worked hard. You must take good care of this little life."
Su Meier still couldn't believe it—herself and that little brother?! The whole world felt unreal. Actually, it was thanks to Shen Yuan's arrival at the Hehuan Sect that Su Meier's anxieties on her return journey prevented her from noticing the life force within her; otherwise, she would have nipped it in the bud. This was Su Meier's usual approach. The Hehuan Sect's cultivation methods were like this: after thousands of years of practice, even though it was difficult for cultivators to conceive, there was always a time when they would get pregnant. Su Meier didn't want to be a sow giving birth to a huge litter.
Shen Yuan looked at Su Meier tenderly, almost wanting to take her back to the sect immediately. Yu Yan quickly put away the Myriad Gods Cauldron, understood Shen Yuan's thoughts, and said to Su Meier, "Meier, go with Sect Master Shen."
"Elder, I..." Su Meier was somewhat troubled. Whether it was giving birth to her and her younger brother's child or leaving the Hehuan Sect where she had grown up, neither was an option she wanted to choose.
"Mei'er, aren't you coming with me? You'll be the sect leader's wife someday," Shen Yuan continued gently, trying to persuade her.
The elders of the Hehuan Sect were somewhat bewildered. Yu Lu stammered, "Sect Leader Shen... what does it mean for Mei'er to become the Sect Leader and the Sect Leader's wife...?"
"It means exactly what you're thinking: Mei'er's child is the child of my sect leader's only personally taught disciple. Do you understand?"
The elders were overjoyed. A marriage alliance with the Tianquan Sect was something many sects would kill for, yet the Hehuan Sect had stumbled upon it by accident.
"Mei'er, go back with Sect Leader Shen!" As Su Mei'er's master's master, Yu Lu personally gave the order, and then she excitedly said to Yu Feng, "The three-day holiday is changed to a seven-day holiday! No make-up days!"
"Yay, long live Senior Sister!" Yu Feng hurriedly returned to the sect to arrange a holiday.
Afterwards, Shen Yuan tore through space, carrying a somewhat melancholic Su Meier, and set off back to the sect. This coincidental marriage, in which Shen Yuan bestowed upon them the Myriad Gods Cauldron, was already an immense blessing for the Hehuan Sect. After all, a Tribulation Transcending stage expert was far more precious than ten or a hundred Mahayana stage experts. The strength of the Hehuan Sect would also leap to a new level.
