After adding up all the credit, he received 833,000 credits—a shocking number. Including what he had earned from reinforcing three cities, and the battle at the beginning of the year, he had earned 2.18 million credits in a year!
His ability to earn credit was close to that of a Marquis Godfiend.
My body and baneful aura cultivation require a lot of credit. Cultivation in the Divine Power realm required massive amounts of energy. Once he mastered the Divine Power realm, his physical body would have the strength of a half-step Marquis Godfiend! He might even acquire divine powers. However, the energy provided by the Thousand Star Pills would be too little. He would require the Scarlet Blood Divine Pills. The Scarlet Divine Pills were used by Marquis Godfiends to restore their Quintessential Essence during fights! Typically, only Regis Godfiends would use Scarlet Blood Divine Pills for cultivation.
Each Scarlet Blood Divine Pill costs 10,000 credits. It could recover all the Quintessential Essence of a Marquis Godfiend in half a minute. Cultivating in the Divine Power realm would require one pill a day. An Undying expert could also use the Scarlet Blood Divine Pool for cultivation. They would probably require ten such pills a day.
Of course, he could slowly cultivate his body by absorbing the Heaven and Earth powers. However, it would take a long time.
The more I strengthen my baneful aura, the rarer the required baneful aura I need for cultivation. It’s not easy for Archean Mountain to obtain those. Meng Chuan understood this point. He had spent 380,000 credits for the Darknether baneful aura. He required the Quiescence Frost Baneful aura next. Typically, only Marquis Godfiends with Lightning Devastator Fiend Bodies were able to absorb it. However, Meng Chuan’s body was strong, so perhaps he could absorb it before reaching the Darkstar realm.
However, Archean Mountain had a limited amount of Quiescence Frost baneful aura. Meng Chuan needed 30 percent of Archean Mountain’s stockpile to be finished with it. That would cost him 8,000,000 credits.
After he fused the Quiescence Frost baneful aura with his baneful aura, his baneful aura would suppress Marquis Godfiends and decrease their strength significantly. He could freeze third Firmament demon monarchs to death easily once he had fused the two together.
I can first exchange for a calabash of Quiescence Frost baneful aura and give it a try. I might not be able to absorb it with my current body.
Chapter 159 - Marriage
After December, it was the new year.
Godfiends visited each other as a new year tradition. It was a joyous occasion. In fact, many Godfiends didn’t care about the new year festivities, but the Godfiends stationed at city passes were different. They might die in battle at any time, so they paid special attention to New Year’s Eve. After 800 years, Godfiends at city passes had made it a tradition to visit each other and celebrate the new year together.
“It’s really lively during the new year.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue walked along North River Pass’s streets. Many hawkers had set up stalls along the streets, and many people were performing acrobatics. People wore their best clothes as they celebrated.
“North River Pass’s population is slightly lower than Eastcalm Prefecture, but the atmosphere during the new year is more vibrant,” praised Meng Chuan with a smile.
The two walked alongside each other.
“Ah Chuan, we’ve been here for more than a year. When do you plan on getting married?” asked Liu Qiyue softly, her face slightly red.
Meng Chuan was stunned. How could Qiyue take the initiative to ask such matters? Even Meng Chuan felt that he was silly for forgetting!
“Qiyue, didn’t we agree on this?” Meng Chuan immediately held Liu Qiyue’s hand and coaxed her. “After we gain a foothold in North River Pass, we can get married. We have fought two times in North River Pass, and we achieved great victories both times. Especially in the last battle, I killed a few demon monarchs like Demon Monarch Lion. Now, who doesn’t have faith in me? Since we have a stable footing, we can get married immediately.”
“Get married immediately?” Liu Qiyue’s face turned scarlet. She immediately said, “I’m not that anxious.”
“I am. How can I not be anxious?” Meng Chuan shook his head. “We have to write a letter to Dad and the rest immediately. We’ll let Dad and the rest set a specific date. After all, we have to discuss such important matters with Dad and the others.”
Liu Qiyue smiled and nodded. “Alright, let’s discuss it with Dad and the rest.” She was feeling sweet right now.
Finally…
She was finally getting married to Ah Chuan!
…
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue sent a letter to Eastcalm Prefecture. Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai were overjoyed when they received the letter. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. However, it was not appropriate for them to rush the couple since they were defending North River Pass from demons.
Soon, the date was set. It was to happen on 26th January, a particularly joyous day for marriage based on the almanac.
…
26th January.
Meng Chuan was alone on the bed.
“Today is the day of my wedding.” Meng Chuan smiled when he saw no one beside him. This was because Liu Qiyue had moved to another manor last night, where Liu Yebai stayed temporarily.
Meng Chuan had requested a North River Pass Godfiend to bring his family from Eastcalm Prefecture on a giant bird. He and Liu Qiyue were extremely important to North River Pass, so they couldn’t leave as they pleased. It wasn’t a big deal for ordinary Godfiends to leave temporarily. North River Pass was 6,500 kilometers away from Eastcalm Prefecture. It was too far. Many guests couldn’t come by themselves. They had to be escorted via flying mounts.
The North River Pass’s flying mount was a third Firmament demon monarch. After being controlled by Archean Mountain completely, it was very loyal! It was large, and it had a wingspan of over 100 feet. It had a very wide back, allowing Meng Dajian, Liu Yebai, several Meng family members, Liu Yebai’s good friend, and Ge Yu—Mirror Lake Dao Academy’s dean—to ride upon it.
“Chuan’er, hurry up. There’s still a lot of things to do today.” The fat Meng Dajiang was very anxious. He dragged Meng Chuan to a group of women.
Meng Chuan smiled and obediently put on his groom’s gown. The women put some makeup on him, to which he said, “Don’t make it too thick.”
“Don’t worry, Lord Meng. Don’t worry.”
“Lord Meng, your skin is very good. You’re very handsome.”
The women were extremely excited. This was the first time they were involved in a marriage between two Godfiends.
The groom wore a white silk robe, but the outer robe was much more complicated. There were many tassels and accessories. Godfiends usually wore simple robes. If not, a robe with dozens of tassels and accessories would take them too long to wear during wartime. Now, Meng Chuan wasn’t in a rush. He allowed the women to dress him. He even wore red boots.
Even his hair was combed backward neatly. There wasn’t a single strand of messy hair at his forehead, and he wore a golden crown. This was the first time Meng Chuan had worn a crown since he was young.
After spending more than an hour, the women finally stopped in satisfaction.
Meng Chuan walked out of the house. There were quite a number of people in the yard outside. Zhang Yunhu, Fan Cheng, the other Godfiends, the Meng family clansmen, Dean Ge Yu, and company waited outside.
“Color me surprised.” Fan Cheng was eating some snacks when he saw Meng Chuan walk out. His eyes widened immediately. “What a handsome young master.”
Meng Chuan gave him a warning look.
“Quite the red face, I must say. You are definitely covered in quite a bit of rouge.” Shi Xiu couldn’t help but laugh. He was amused.
“Good, good. It’s pretty good,” echoed Zhang Yunhu.
“I watched Meng Chuan, and Liu Qiyue grow up. Liu Qiyue often visited Mirror Lake Dao Academy to look for Meng Chuan,” said Ge Yu,
the Meng family clansmen beside him. “I also watched them head to Archean Mountain together. Now that they are getting married, I’m very happy that I can attend their wedding. I’m glad my disciple still thinks of me as his master.”
“It’s not noon yet, and you’re already half drunk. Don’t drink too much. You can drink as much as you want tonight,” said a Meng family elder.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m not drunk at all. I’m still sober.” Ge Yu’s face was flushed red. He was a drunkard and loved alcohol. His joy today just made him drink more.
…
Meng Chuan chatted with everyone for a while.
“It’s time,” shouted Meng Dajiang immediately. “Chuan’er, hurry up. It’s time to receive the bride.”
“Receive the bride?” Meng Chuan immediately stood up.
“Lord Meng, come, come. Wear the red flower.” Three women ran over and tied a red flower to Meng Chuan’s chest. It added to the joyous vibes.
Meng Chuan obediently followed.
After a while, the wedding entourage set off. Meng Chuan rode a tall horse, and the entourage played music along the way. The sound of firecrackers filled the air, and many people on the streets were watching.
“Two Godfiends are getting married?”
“Is that Lord Meng who killed several demon monarchs?”
The people at North River Pass watched from afar as the groom rode on his horse.
To begin with, Meng Chuan was not bad-looking. He had condensed an Essence Soul and cultivated his body. Be it his looks or bearing, he was extraordinary. Many women couldn’t help but blush when they saw him. They thought to themselves, If they were to marry such a handsome young master, they would probably be smiling in their dreams. Perhaps only a female Godfiend was worthy of Lord Meng.
…
About 2.5 kilometers away from Meng Chuan’s residence was the largest restaurant in North River Pass, White Cloud Restaurant. Today, White Cloud Restaurant’s ninth floor had been booked.
On the restaurant’s top floor, a gray-robed elder stood guard outside the private room. There was only one person inside.
A cyan-robed woman stood inside the room. Her face was covered in a thin veil. She stood by the private room’s window and looked in the direction of Meng Chuan’s manor. Although she was over 2.5 kilometers away, she could clearly see Meng Dajiang watching everybody leave as he stood at the manor door. She also saw the good-looking youth riding a tall horse.
Dajiang, you’ve gained so much weight. The cyan-robed woman watched from afar. Chuan’er has also grown up. Her eyes were filled with tears.
Chapter 160 - Decision (Final Chapter of Volume)
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
The cyan-robed woman studied Meng Chuan’s appearance carefully—his eyebrows, eyes, eyelashes, nose, mouth, ears, and even the mole on his face—she tried to see everything. She couldn’t see the mole on Meng Chuan’s face because she was over five kilometers away from him.
Chuan’er’s facial features are roughly the same as when he was young. His facial lines are more defined now. The cyan-robed woman smiled as she looked at him. His eyelashes are still quite long. I might be able to see the mole under his eye if I move a little closer.
All these years, Dajiang has raised Chuan’er. Chuan’er really hasn’t disappointed us. Though the cyan-clothed woman was happy, she couldn’t help but tear up.
She watched the wedding entourage arrive at Liu Qiyue’s temporary residence. After entering the manor for over two hours, the bride was finally received. Liu Qiyue—who was dressed in a red robe and a phoenix corset—got into the sedan chair.
Liu Yebai watched this scene with mixed emotions. His daughter was finally married; he was relieved that the groom was Meng Chuan. Liu Yebai only wished for his daughter to live well. He didn’t want his daughter to bear the burdens he had. He never told his daughter about how the Liu family was pressuring him.
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were extremely talented. The Liu family didn’t come and disrupt the marriage. Instead, they sent an Indestructible Godfiend with a congratulatory gift. They were very low-key. Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai didn’t make a big fuss either. They didn’t want to cause a commotion. With the Liu family’s actions of sending an Indestructible Godfiend, their attitudes were very obvious. They weren’t willing to anger Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue. They just wanted to mend their estranged relationships.
…
The cyan-robed woman clenched her fingers tightly as she watched the wedding entourage return to Meng Chuan’s manor with the bride.
After the bride got off the sedan, the groom and bride stepped over a fire basin and entered the manor. When they entered the manor, she was no longer able to see them.
“He’s getting married,” whispered the cyan-robed woman. “Chuan’er has finally gotten married. His wife grew up with him. It’s great, just wonderful.” The tears in the cyan-robed woman’s eyes vanished. She regained her composure and cold expression and left the private room. To the gray-robed elder outside the room, she said, “It’s time to return.”
“We have to return as soon as possible. We have to return by today; otherwise, it will be troublesome if we are discovered.” The gray-robed elder was somewhat worried.
“Don’t worry,” replied the cyan-robed woman indifferently.
She and the gray-robed elder silently left North River Pass. Meng Dajiang and Meng Chuan didn’t know about her presence.
…
“Kowtow to Heaven and Earth!”
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue held a red silk ribbon. Currently, they were extremely happy and satisfied. They kowtowed to Heaven and Earth under many people’s eyes.
“Kowtow to the parents!”
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue turned around and kowtowed to Meng Dajiang.
Meng Dajiang chuckled as he watched them. However, his heart ached a little when he saw the empty chair beside him. He quickly composed himself and continued to smile at Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.
“Kowtow to one another!”
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue kowtowed to each other.
After the ceremony, they were officially husband and wife. From now on, he was her husband, and she was his wife.
“Send them to the nuptial chamber!”
Meng Chuan brought Liu Qiyue to their newly-decorated house.
…
The bride, Liu Qiyue, could rest in the room and wait. Meng Chuan removed the red flower from his chest and went out to receive the guests. As the groom, he had to drink with every guest.
The moon illuminated the dark sky; the guests began leaving the manor after having their fill.
Originally, the guests had planned on teasing the newlyweds in the nuptial chamber; however, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were Godfiends! Godfiends enjoyed special status; thus, they didn’t need to follow ordinary customs. Some Godfiends got married by only kowtowing to Heaven and Earth—they did nothing else. Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue underwent most of the official rites but had decided to skip the nuptial chamber teasing.
After all the guests left, Meng Dajiang drank alone in his own room. His vision blurred as he swayed tipsily. It was as if he had returned to the day he got married.
When he got married, he wasn’t fat at all. He had been a young man in his prime. At that time, his wife had the beauty of a fairy. However, he had raised his child alone for many years, until Meng Chuan entered Archean Mountain.
Nianyun, Chuan’er is married. In the future, Chuan’er and Qiyue will have children. Meng Dajiang stared out the window silently. Twenty-five years have passed by so quickly. Nianyun, I really miss you…
Meng Dajiang was in great pain. His wife’s secrets were unknown to the public, but he knew about everything. For his wife and son, he could only keep them secret forever.
…
In the newlyweds’ room, a red candle was lit. Under the candlelight, everything appeared hazy.
“Qiyue.” Meng Chuan looked at Liu Qiyue, who w
as still wearing a red veil. He picked up a steel rod and gently lifted the red veil, revealing her flushed face.
Liu Qiyue’s skin was like milky-white jade. After her phoenix bloodline had awakened, her appearance had become even more outstanding. Under the candlelight, she looked more beautiful in her red robe. She was so beautiful that even Meng Chuan couldn’t take his eyes off her.
So beautiful. Qiyue is so beautiful. Meng Chuan knew that he would remember this moment for his entire life.
“Why are you staring at me?” asked Liu Qiyue softly.
Meng Chuan smiled and put down the steel rod. “Qiyue, it looks like you can’t wait any longer.”
Liu Qiyue glared at Meng Chuan. “Who are you talking about.”
“My wife, I was wrong. I’m the one who can’t wait,” said Meng Chuan immediately.
Upon hearing Meng Chuan say “wife,” Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but smile again. Meng Chuan took off his robe and helped Qiyue remove her complicated wedding gown. He whispered, “It’s our nuptial night. Time passes quickly, so we can’t afford to waste it.” With that said, he pulled Liu Qiyue onto the bed and lowered the bed curtains.
…
After Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were married, they became lovey-dovey and intimate.
Meng Dajiang, Liu Yebai, and the other guests all had matters to deal with in Eastcalm Prefecture; thus, they stayed in North River Pass for only seven days. Meng Chuan arranged for a Godfiend to escort his father and company back to Eastcalm Prefecture via flying mount.
“Live well with Meng Chuan in the future,” said Liu Yebai to his daughter before looking at Meng Chuan. “Meng Chuan, Qiyue is more important than my life. I’m handing her over to you. Don’t disappoint me.”
“Don’t worry, Father-in-law. To me, she’s also more important than my life,” said Meng Chuan.
Liu Yebai nodded slightly. “I’m at ease since it’s the two of you.”
