"Actually, the marriage partner is okay, quite cute, but I am a loyal person, and I already have a lover who I am committed to spending my life with!" Hai Zian sighed, his face full of vicissitudes, which made Li Ran respect him.
The current era originated from the late Ming Dynasty, not the 21st century before awakening!
Especially in the long-term battles against strange beasts and taboos, too many men died, and the gender ratio was seriously unbalanced.
Therefore, the federal government encourages multiple marriages and multiple children. Even ordinary people who cannot afford the life pressure brought about by multiple marriages and multiple children will be raised by the federal government until adulthood, and there will be additional rewards.
Therefore, monogamy is extremely rare in this society. If it weren't for the fact that Li Ran's parents, his former uncle Shu and current father-in-law Shu Tianhe were all loyal people, he wouldn't have learned this information until he was about to get engaged.
"By the way, Brother Ran, we hit it off right away, you must help me, your brother!
I must seize the position of family heir, otherwise Xiao Miao and I will never again... woooo..." the little fat boy Hai Zian cried.
"Brother, I also think you are very nice, but you have found the wrong person. I am only in the Golden Core stage?" Although Li Ran felt that this little fat man was rare and touched his heart, this was another matter.
Hai Zian also said that the Sea God Palace is one of the top 100 forces in the world, and he is only at the third level now?
Hai Zian seemed to have overlooked the latter sentence, thinking that Li Ran felt that his cultivation was too low. After all, the competition for the heir to such a large family as the Sea God Palace must require at least high-level practitioners to participate!
Then he suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so that's it. Brother Ran, you misunderstood. You just need to help your brothers when it's critical. Ours is different..."
For example, this time, I have to take part in a family heir assessment, which is extremely important. As long as I get first place, I can be positioned as the family heir. As long as I keep it up before the seventh level, after I break through the seventh level and pass the last assessment, I can officially become the head of the family!
Then I can get rid of the marriage and marry my beloved Xiao Miao!"
The little fat boy seemed to be immersed in the beauty, fantasizing about the love he would have with Xiao Miao.
"Oh, this assessment has a cultivation limit?" Li Ran mercilessly woke up Hai Zian who was immersed in beauty.
"Ah..." Hai Zian woke up from his sweet dream: "It's said to be my assessment, but it's actually a competition among the people we recruited..."
At this moment, Hai Zian seemed to remember something, and his expression changed drastically: "Brother Ran, are you in the Golden Core Stage now? The third stage?"
"Yeah..." Li Ran looked at his dark face, somewhat puzzled.
"It's over, wuwu X﹏X my Xiao Miao..." Hai Zian lay down on the table and started crying.
Li Ran was overwhelmed. He was so great at the beginning, why did he become like this now?
You can’t judge a person by his appearance, and you can’t measure the depth of the sea…
However, this kind of innocent character is really rare, especially in this era.
Li Ran had no choice but to point at him with her index finger, then pulled out a few pieces of paper and asked, "What's going on? Tell me, maybe I can help you!"
Hai Zian choked up as he wiped his tears, saying, "I could have reached the third level seven or eight years ago, but I've been suppressing myself, trying not to break through, just to be able to take charge of my own life..."
"Stop..." Li Ran stopped Hai Zian when she saw he was about to start another long speech. "Stop, I know your ideals and your love, but... please get to the point!"
Hai Zian glanced at Li Ran with a resentful look, like a young wife, and said:
The assessment for the family head successor is divided into levels, with level two being the lowest. If I'm level two, I'll be assessed at level two, and level three will be assessed at level three! And so on...
I’m currently at the peak of the second level, and the only person who can accompany me to take the assessment is the second level. I originally thought that with you, Brother Ran, my assessment would be 100% guaranteed, but I didn’t expect my hopes to be dashed before it even started… wuwu…”
Hai Zian started crying again. Li Ran did not try to persuade him this time, because what he lost was at most some money, but what he lost was his youth and love!
Li Ran was also a little confused. He couldn't understand his family's adult assessment.
After Hai Zian finished crying, he asked, "Zi'an, what's going on with your family assessment? Why are you suppressing yourself? According to what you said, you should have been able to break through to the third level when you were eight or nine years old. Wouldn't it be easier to compete with a higher level of cultivation?"
Hai Zian was already in despair, and said weakly:
"The higher your cultivation level, the harder the assessment. In our family, cultivation strength isn't the most important thing; the ability to recruit people is!"
Li Ran curled her lips and said, "Your family is really weird. In this world, strength is the most important thing, right?"
"Although I used to think so, the reality is so cruel. If strength was the main factor, I would have already broken through to the seventh level and become a high-level powerful being!"
The little fat boy rested his fat face on the table, twirling his fingers boredly, like a mentally retarded child. It seemed that there was nothing more sad than a dead heart.
"Stop bragging. You are eighteen years old now. Even if you hadn't suppressed yourself eight or nine years ago, you would be at most mid-level now!" Li Ran rolled his eyes.
Hai Zian continued weakly, "Really? I'm the one whose bloodline is closest to our ancestor in the history of our Hai family. My cultivation speed in the ocean is incredibly fast, but it's useless. Strength is useless in our family!"
"Your family is really weird. Isn't strength the most important thing in cultivation? Yet you don't care about it. It's really weird!" Li Ran was puzzled.
"Forget it, I'll help you. Didn't you say you could break through at any time? Just break through to the second level and take the third level assessment!" Li Ran said in a deep voice.
Hai Zian was shocked at first, then speechless: "Ah, Brother Ran, you are only in the early stage of the third level now. I bet that all the opponents you meet in the assessment are half a step to the fourth level..."
"You're so long-winded. Let's go out and show you!"
Li Ran was getting impatient, so he took Hai Zian directly to the outside of the city. After running for thousands of miles, he finally found a fourth-level ferocious beast, the Purple-Eyed Violent Bear.
"Brother Ran, don't let your mind wander. This Purple Eyed Violent Bear is a fourth-tier beast. Even though it's only in the early fourth-tier, its strength is no less than that of an average fourth-tier mid-tier beast!"
Hai Zian was so frightened that his face turned pale. Although he had a protective spiritual weapon on him that prevented him from dying, he absolutely did not want to face such a ferocious beast that was far stronger than himself.
"Noisy!"
Since Hai Zian was contained by Li Ran's supreme power, the Purple-Eyed Violent Bear didn't notice them at all.
"Wind and Thunder Sword Technique!"
"laugh!"
The Purple Eyed Violent Bear didn't even have a split second to react before being split in half without any pain!
After Li Ran's sword energy killed the purple-eyed violent bear, it also left a crack on the ground that was fifty or sixty feet long and bottomless!
"Gurgle..." Hai Zian couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Brother Ran, I'm about to break through to the third level, please help me protect the law!"
