Chapter 446: The Lotus is a Solitary, Hermaphroditic Flower

Gui Yutong glared up at Gui Delun. Ive chosen who I want to be with. Father, please.

A piece of filth who only wants your body, whos trapping you into marriage? Let me kill him. Ill adopt your child as mine, and this will have never happened, Gui Delun rumbled, scowling at Hui.

Is this how the Fu Clan happened? Wait, no. There was a lot more clan murder going on over there. Hui paused. Actually, that would be pretty useful for me, if Gui Delun decided to haul off and murder half his clan

No, no. I dont think I could ever convince him to do that. Or rather, itd take far longer than the ten years I have before Starbound Sects souls dissipate.

He isnt trapping me into marriage! Father, this is its what I want. Please. Just let us get married, and itll all be fine. You approved of him earlier. Whats different now? Gui Yutong asked.

Now, hes tainted you, Gui Delun snarled.

Father! We would have had children one way or another. Whats the difference if we have them before or after we get married? Gui Yutong argued.

This is unacceptable. I cannot allow this. Gui Delun crossed his arms.

Lying on the ground, Hui managed a smile. Er, Senior.

Gui Delun turned and glared at Hui.

Argh! Stop glaring at me! Im trying to fix this, but dammit, I dont understand this situation! Im also pretty sure that isnt actually my child, but for now, lets go ahead and pretend it is.

At the end of the day, I dont want to get kicked out of the sect. Id rather marry Gui Yutong as her beard rather than get attacked and thrown out by Gui Delun. If the whole world thinks thats Xie Haos child, then whatever. Xie Hao isnt even my real name!

And if it is my child somehow, against all odds then Ill step up and take responsibility. In that case, I have no problem with marrying Gui Yutong. She seems pretty reasonable, for an All-Heavens Sect Peak Lord. She might have some problems with me killing her father, but well work through it when it happens.

Gui Delun cleared his throat. His eyes narrowed dangerously.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Anyways, before I go on with imagining our lives together, lets go ahead and keep Gui Delun from killing me right here, right now!

Hui looked Gui Delun in the eye and gave him as serious a look as he could manage from his place prone on the floor. Senior, Im fully devoted to Gui Yutong. I, Xie Hao, am prepared to spend the rest of my life with her, Xie Haos life, anyways, and Im willing to marry her today, if need be, to prove my devotion.

Gui Delun twisted his lips. Then do it.

Sir. Should I fetch my finest robes, or?

Now.

Father, maybe a few moments for us? Gui Yutong requested.

No, it isnt. But we have to marry her anyways or else get thrown out of the sect, Hui explained.

Its Bai Jingwens, isnt it, Rogue chuckled, grinning.

Did you know that lotuses are hermaphroditic? Hui returned, rolling his eyes.

We all know it, now. Especially Gui Yutong, Rogue said.

In any case, theres no way youre officially marrying Bai Xue before I marry Gui Yutong. Were about to do things shotgun style, and I dont think the Bai Clan is going to marry off its heir without some pomp and circumstance, Hui pointed out.

Cant hear you, on my way to the Bai Clan, Peak Lord responded.

Gui Delun cleared his throat. Shall we?

Hui glanced at Gui Yutong. She sighed and shrugged. Id rather it was her, but

Yes, yes. Ill be your beard, and I will absolutely use this as blackmail material to keep you out of the way when I destroy All-Heavens, Hui thought, nodding back. I understand, Elder Sister.

I wont get in the way. If you she let her voice trail off. Her gaze fell to the floor.

Mmm, that is one benefit of this world, after all. I dont have to worry about monogamy getting in the way. So what if I marry Gui Yutong? Shes just another wife. Ah, being someones beard isnt so bad in this world. Hui nodded. I understand.

She nodded. Shall we exchange the three vows and pay our respects, then?

Hui nodded. Lets.

The two of them walked over to Gui Delun. He narrowed his eyes at Hui and crossed his arms, then nodded. Although this isnt very proper at least you didnt flee your responsibility.

Flee my responsibility? Im over here not fleeing Bai Jingwens responsibilities! Im taking on extra responsibilities, dammit! Hui nodded, smiling. I would never.

Gui Delun stepped back.

Gui Yutong took Huis hands. She leaned toward him. Thank you.

You owe me one, Hui whispered back.

Gui Yutong nodded. She squeezed his hands, then released them and began to kowtow. Hui followed her lead. My apologies, Li Xiang, Bai Xue. Dont worry. Ill marry you soon enough!

Though Im not really sure Li Xiang cares about marrying me, one way or another Ah, it is troublesome to love a sword, at times.

He snuck a glance at Gui Delun as he completed the three kowtows. When he realizes who I am oh man. I hope Im there to see his face.
