Chapter 113: Quite a Lively Scene

The Golden Pill Cultivator was dressed in golden robes, exuding an elegant and noble aura. His appearance wasn’t bad, even somewhat handsome, but his unnaturally pale skin was unsettling, and his deep-set eyes were chilling. As a seventh-grade Alchemist and Spirit God Realm expert, his status was naturally superior. He was seated in a chair carried by two large figures. The two burly men had blank stares, like puppets, but their muscular limbs displayed their strength. On the huge chair, two women sat on either side, one fanning him and the other offering him fruit.

Most Spirit God Realm experts were low-key and had an air of eminence, but the Golden Pill Cultivator wasn’t among them. He entered the city quite ostentatiously.

“Bai family servants?” The Golden Pill Cultivator seemed to remember Bai Wu and Bai Liu.

“Yes... yes, that’s right,” the two felt as if they’d fallen into an ice cellar just from his glance. The pressure from this superior being was extremely evident.

“Has your young miss returned from her family visit?” the Golden Pill Cultivator asked, with an eerie smile on his face.

“She... she has returned,” The Bai family naturally hadn’t told the Golden Pill Cultivator that Baizhi had run away. Of course, he didn’t believe the Bai family’s excuse, but none of that mattered. The only thing that mattered to him was Baizhi herself.

“Good that she’s back. Go tell the Bai family head that I’ll come to propose marriage tomorrow,” the Golden Pill Cultivator said before entering the city, heading towards his mansion.

“Yes... yes...” The two nodded in agreement and immediately transmitted this news back.

In the Bai family compound, Bai Yulou was refining seventh-grade pills. When this urgent message reached his hands, he couldn’t help but frown.

“So urgent? Well, the sooner the better. I want to see how long sister-in-law can hold out. The ‘Sun illumination Scripture’ will be mine,” Bai Yulou crushed the message jade. He was determined to marry off Baizhi, obtain the eighth-grade pill formula, and get the ‘Sun illumination Scripture’. Neither Baizhi nor Cheng Lingxin had any ability to resist.

“Where is the young miss now?” Bai Yulou asked a servant.

“Reporting to the Family Head, the young miss is currently refining pills in the Tianzi No. 3 pill room,” the servant answered.

“Refining pills? At a time like this, she’s still thinking about refining pills? What a pity. If the Golden Pill Cultivator hadn’t offered so much, I’d be reluctant to give you away,” Bai Yulou thought, then instructed, “Send a message to Elder Bai, tell her to watch Baizhi. Let her stay in the pill room, don’t let her come to the meeting hall to cause trouble. We’ll settle everything tomorrow to avoid any complications.”

“Yes!” The person immediately left.

Pill refining was a tedious task. Both Zhanyue and Baizhi’s foreheads were covered in sweat as they finally completed a batch of pills.

“How have you improved so much?!” Baizhi exclaimed, recalling Zhanyue’s previous performances.

“What, are you the only one allowed to be a genius? Can’t I suddenly have an epiphany?” Zhanyue smiled.

Baizhi glared at him, then pinched him lightly, “Tell me quickly, don’t think I don’t know your previous level.”

Zhanyue pinched Baizhi’s pretty face, “You... don’t worry, nothing will happen to either of us, I promise.” With that, Zhanyue took Baizhi’s hand and walked towards the inner courtyard.

In the meeting hall, not only were Bai Yulou and the Golden Pill Cultivator present, but also a middle-aged man in gray robes, slightly plump with a kind face, wearing a playful expression. He was Gu Changfeng, the deputy city lord of Alchemy Capital. Although Alchemy Capital had a city lord, the lord rarely handled affairs, and Gu Changfeng actually controlled all administrative matters. He was here today naturally at the Golden Pill Cultivator’s invitation.

“Bai Family Head, I invited City Lord Gu here today to be a witness. Have you considered what I said before? The family ranking competition has already begun. If the Bai family wants to take the lead, you can’t do without me as your son-in-law,” the Golden Pill Cultivator said.

Both Gu Changfeng and Bai Yulou inwardly despised him. This guy was from their generation, yet he was so lustful. However, his conditions were indeed very generous.

“Joining the Bai family as a guest elder, with an eighth-grade pill formula as betrothal gift. The Golden Pill Cultivator is indeed sincere,” Gu Changfeng sighed. The conditions offered by the Golden Pill Cultivator were too generous for Bai Yulou to refuse.

“Well...” Bai Yulou was about to speak when he was interrupted by a stern shout.

“You’re marrying off my granddaughter without even notifying me?”

The newcomer was Cheng Lingxin, haggard-looking and sickly.

“Sister-in-law? Your health isn’t good, you shouldn’t be moving around. I’ll handle this matter properly. As they say, men should marry and women should be married off when they come of age. It’s time for Baizhi,” Bai Yulou said, then brought her a chair to sit on.

Cheng Lingxin looked at the Golden Pill Cultivator and let out a cold laugh, “I wondered what kind of person the Golden Pill Cultivator was. It turns out he’s just a lecher. You old fool, how could you be worthy of our Baizhi?”

With these words, the atmosphere instantly chilled. The three Spirit God Realm experts were momentarily speechless, feeling somewhat awkward.

“I don’t agree to this marriage. Alright, you should all leave now,” Cheng Lingxin continued, though feeling bitter inside. She hadn’t expected Gu Changfeng to be here too. If it were just the two pill dao Spirit God Realm experts, she could have forcefully broken through and fought them both. However, Gu Changfeng was a genuine martial arts expert with extremely strong power.

“Enough, sister-in-law! I am now the head of the Bai family, and every decision I make is for the family’s benefit!” Bai Yulou rebuked.

Cheng Lingxin sneered, “I can give you what you want, but on the condition that Baizhi gets to decide her own lifelong happiness!”

Bai Yulou’s face suddenly changed. He hadn’t expected Cheng Lingxin to mention this in front of others. Gu Changfeng and the Golden Pill Cultivator also changed expressions, their eyes showing confusion.

“Wow, the Bai mansion is quite lively today,” At this moment, a voice broke the awkward situation. It was Zhanyue, holding Baizhi’s hand as they walked in. Strangely, along the way, Baizhi hadn’t seen any Bai family guards, and they had walked in easily.

The three Spirit God Realm experts and Cheng Lingxin simultaneously turned their gazes to the two, or more accurately, to their joined hands. The four had varied expressions and thoughts, but the deputy city lord looked at Zhanyue with appreciation, “Daring to slap two Spirit God Realm experts in the face like this, quite interesting.”
