Chapter 994: One Resents Marrying, The Other Sincerely Wants To Marry
Sheng Zhou had no parents and was an orphan. When he was five years old, he was adopted from an orphanage by a commoner couple in Yufu City. Later, he awakened his beast form and caught Sheng Lingfeng’s eye with his talent.
In Sheng Zhou’s eyes, although he was Sheng Lingfeng’s eldest disciple, he was still an orphan with an ordinary background.
But who was Sheng Yang?
She was Sheng Lingfeng’s beloved daughter. She was a little princess who had been pampered since she was born.
A woman like Yang Yang would definitely marry a handsome and outstanding man in the future.
Therefore, even though Sheng Zhou knew that his feelings for Sheng Yang exceeded that of a brother and sister, he never dared to respond to the affection that Sheng Yang occasionally conveyed.
He couldn’t respond either.
Sheng Xiao shook his head when he heard Sheng Zhou’s words. He said, “It’s important to know one’s place and it’s rare for one to know one’s status. But Sheng Zhou, why do you think you’re inferior?”
Sheng Zhou was about to answer when he heard Sheng Xiao ask, “Just because you have no parents and were adopted by Yufu City, you think you’re inferior and unworthy of the little princess of Yufu City?”
Sheng Zhou looked embarrassed.
Because this was the truth. He couldn’t retort.
Sheng Xiao shook his head. “So what if you’re an orphan? How many orphans can be chosen by Prime Master Lingfeng through their talent and become his personal disciple?”
“Do you know what a personal disciple is?” Sheng Xiao asked Sheng Zhou.
Sheng Zhou looked at Sheng Zhou humbly and said in confusion, “Isn’t the eldest disciple the first disciple Mentor took in?” Sheng Zhou had always thought so.
“You’re wrong.” Sheng Xiao said, “Before he met you, my father was already a Grand Master. He met countless talented children, including children from outstanding families, but he was unmoved. But when he met you…”
“There must be something about you that caught my father’s eye. That’s why he made an exception for you.”
Sheng Zhou was stunned and flattered. He asked, “…Is that so?”
“Yes.” Sheng Xiao continued, “Among my father’s eight personal disciples, you might not be the most talented, the smartest, or the most handsome, but you are definitely the one who satisfied and reassured my father the most.”
“The position of the Patriarch of the Sheng clan has always been passed down only to disciples with the direct bloodline of the Sheng family. In this serious situation, he went against everyone’s wishes and hand over the management of the Sheng family to you so that you can be the acting Patriarch of the Sheng family. This is enough to show how important you are to him.”
“How can a man who is qualified to be the acting patriarch of the Sheng family not be worthy of the little princess of the Sheng family?”
Sheng Xiao patted Sheng Zhou’s hand hard. “Eldest Senior Brother, I’ll leave Yang Yang to you after I leave.”
Sheng Zhou nodded vigorously. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect her with my life!”
“Okay.”
Sheng Xiao thought of something and his expression suddenly became sinister.
Sheng Zhou felt uneasy when he saw Sheng Xiao’s expression change so quickly. “Young Master, is there anything else?”
Sheng Xiao stared at Sheng Zhou coldly as he snorted and said, “I didn’t mean to entrust Yang Yang to you forever. Sheng Zhou, I will come back. If you become my brother-in-law before I come back, you will become my sister’s late husband!”
Sheng Zhou was speechless.
Sheng Xiao’s words were ruthless. Sheng Zhou was so frightened that he felt a chill down his spine. “Don’t worry, Young Master. I will respect and protect Yang Yang.”
Sheng Xiao was relieved to hear Sheng Zhou’s promise.
When he returned to his room, Yu Huang had already taken a shower and was changing into her gown.
She chose a red dress with long white pearl chains on both sides of her shoulders. It was the finishing touch of this dress.
When Sheng Xiao entered, Yu Huang had just buttoned it to the back of her neck, but there was still a bow tie to tie.
Sheng Xiao quickly walked over to help Yu Huang tie the bow.
Yu Huang had heard Sheng Xiao and Sheng Zhou’s conversation outside. She put earrings on herself and couldn’t help but laugh at Sheng Xiao. “You got married at the age of 26, but you’re asking Sheng Zhou, who is almost 50 years old, not to get married. Isn’t that too overbearing?”
Sheng Xiao was so cruel to his brother-in-law. Yu Huang couldn’t imagine how strict he was with his future son-in-law. “You’re so strict. No man would dare to be your son-in-law.”
Sheng Xiao snorted. “Then, I can only say that he doesn’t love my daughter enough.”
That made sense.
“But when will I see my daughter?” Sheng Xiao felt that he and Yu Huang might not have time to have a daughter in their lives.
Yu Huang was stumped by Sheng Xiao’s question.
She had already seen their two children through the Eternal Eye.
Logically speaking, they had children.
“That day will come.”
Sheng Xiao had already tied the bow.
Yu Huang turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. Then, she smiled when she saw that the bow tie looked elegant and neat. She joked, “I’ll leave tying our daughter’s hair to you in the future.”
“Alright.”
Yu Huang reached out to push Sheng Xiao. “Alright, go take a shower. Xiao Shu and the others will come to pick up the bride later.”
“Yes, okay.”
Sheng Xiao changed into a black suit after showering. Just as he put on his watch, he heard Xiao Shu’s voice outside the hotel.
“I’m here to get married. Patriarch Yin, I hope you can bear the pain and part with your beloved clansman!”
Hearing that, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao quickly went downstairs to Yin Rong’s room. There were a few beautiful female disciples of the Yin clan standing outside the room. They were wearing bridesmaid clothes and applying makeup. There was a corsage on their chests that represented their status as bridesmaids.
Yin Rong and Xiao Shu held a modern wedding.
Seeing that Yu Huang had arrived, the bridesmaids pushed open the door and pulled Yu Huang in while letting her block the door. “Patriarch! When it’s time for you to compete with the groom, remember to show him your strength and let him know that Yin Rong’s family isn’t easy to bully.”
The so-called show of strength was to let Yu Huang and Xiao Shu compete in cultivation and use the door of the wedding room as the boundary. Yu Huang would guard the door inside while Xiao Shu would push the door open outside. If Yu Huang could hold on to the end, Yu Huang would win. If Xiao Shu could push the door open, Xiao Shu would win, and she would let Xiao Shu take the bride away.
Yu Huang thought to herself, “Although I’m the Patriarch, I’m only an ordinary Supreme Master.”
Although Xiao Shu was only a Supreme Master as well, he was the Lord of All Demon after all. If he transformed into his Fire Unicorn form, how could Yu Huang resist?
And this idea was Yin Rong’s.
How could a smart person like Yin Rong not know how powerful Xiao Shu’s main body form was?
She was clearly asking Yu Huang to go easy on Xiao Shu.
Forget it, forget it. One resented marriage, while the other sincerely wanted to get married. She just had to put on a show.
