Chapter 1249: Marriage Proposal
"This-" Zhan Chen couldn't answer for a while, looking embarrassed.
Qi Wen on the side said: "Zhan Chen, listen to the seniors, you still have a good relationship in Cloud Swallowing City, why don't you introduce me to me?" β
"Wenwen, the seniors are just joking, Lin Mengdie and I don't mean that at all. Zhan Chen immediately denied it, and in order to prevent them from continuing to entangle on this issue, Zhan Chen said again: "By the way, Elder Lin, haven't you noticed that my cultivation has improved?"
Lin Xiaohan looked at it, his eyes were about to protrude, and he shouted: "Impossible, you actually broke through the Earth Star Realm, what a short time!"
Zhan Chen smiled: "You finally found out, I've been here for a while. β
"Great, Zhan Chen, you have become the second two-star alchemist of our Dan Pavilion, this is really the Lin family's luck!"
"I am willing to serve the Lin family. β
"Hehe, I have to report this news to those old guys in the clan immediately, they will all be happy!" Lin Xiaohan said and walked out the door.
Zhan Chen hurriedly asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, you go back and wait first, I'll be back this evening!"
Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly, and took Qi Wen back to his home in the Dan Pavilion first, and waited until evening, Lin Xiaohan really came, and as soon as he came back, he said to Zhan Chen with a smile: "Zhan Chen, you can go with me to visit the patriarch tomorrow, he is very interested in you." β
The patriarch of the Lin family was none other than Lin Chongwu, and Zhan Chen remembered that the last time he met him face-to-face was in the Lin family's arsenal, so he asked again: "I just broke through the Earth Star Realm, is it necessary to be so grand?"
"Hehe, you don't know, how important an Earth Star Realm powerhouse is to our family, our Lin family has a population of hundreds of thousands, but there are only more than 100 Earth Star Realm powerhouses who have cultivated in the Earth Star Realm, including your foreign surnames, it can be seen how important an Earth Star Realm powerhouse is to us, so Zhan Chen, as long as you join our family, your status is absolutely guaranteed. β
"Hehe, what are you talking about, I would have been the Lin family. β
"It's different, I advise you to marry a woman from our Lin family. β
Zhan Chen said: "Elder, we have talked about this matter many times, and what I mean is very clear, so don't mention it again." β
"Well, you can follow me to the patriarch tomorrow. β
On the second day, Lin Xiaohan took Zhan Chen to the City Lord's Mansion and met Lin Chongwu, Lin Chongwu glanced at Zhan Chen and immediately recognized him, and said, "You are the kid who entered the Lin family's arsenal with me last time." β
Zhan Chen hurriedly saluted: "Exactly, last time, I benefited a lot from the care of my seniors. β
"Hehe, the two of us are destined, it's not simple, an Earth Star Realm alchemist is a treasure to our Lin family, how can you consider officially joining our Lin family?"
"I joined a long time ago. β
"I mean to choose a family affair with you in the clan, otherwise you won't be considered a member of our Lin family. You also understand that a cultivator has a lot of experience outside the home, or even never returns, and if he doesn't have a wife and children, he doesn't really join a family. β
Zhan Chen had to say, "Let me think about it." β
"Okay, Zhan Chen, as long as you are willing to join our Lin family, I will allow you to enter the Lin family's arsenal again and choose a treasure you like. β
Zhan Chen was quite moved when he heard his words, he returned to the Lin family to earn money and then buy a worthy weapon, if he could enter the Lin family's arsenal, then wouldn't the problem be solved directly? But at the cost of adding another lady, the thought of this made him feel big.
Seeing that he was silent, Lin Chongwu said again: "This matter is not in a hurry, go back and think about it slowly, when do you decide, when will I take you into the Lin family's arsenal again." β
After leaving from Lin Chongwu, Zhan Chen was still thinking about this matter, but when he arrived at the door of his house, he met Lin Mengdie, Lin Mengdie saw Zhan Chen, and exclaimed in surprise: "Zhan Chen, you are finally willing to come back, where have you been all these years?"
Zhan Chen said with a smile: "I went to Star Pole City and practiced there. β
"You've been gone for hundreds of years, and people are worried about death. β
"Hehe, a few hundred years is a short time for us cultivators. β
"That being said, but you know what people think about you, in the past few years, I haven't been able to eat and sleep well for you, and I'm not even in the mood to cultivate. β
Zhan Chen was quite moved when he heard this, and said, "Mengdie, we are good friends, and I only have appreciation for you." β
Lin Mengdie pursed her lips and said, "Every time you use these old tunes to prevaricate me." β
Zhan Chen shook his head and said, "In short, a marriage without feelings will not be happy. β
"Hmph, it's all an excuse, it's just hypocrisy, in fact, which man doesn't like beautiful women? Do you have a relationship with that Qi Wen? I hate you the most than a man like you!"
Zhan Chen's heart jumped suddenly, and said: "That's because of an accident, I have to be responsible for her, there are so many beauties in the world, I can't like them all, Mengdie-you are actually quite good, but my man doesn't know anything at all, you and I won't have any happiness." β
"I don't care, I've already identified you, this time you don't want to disappear from my field of vision, I will chase you to any corner of the universe!"
Zhan Chen sighed, he accepted Qi Wen so much that he fell into the truth, and now he can't tell, to be honest, he did have a heart for Lin Mengdie, but when he thought that he had enough women, he didn't want to owe others anymore, so he had always been very reluctant to foreign sexual encounters, but even so, there were still more and more women involved with him, and the life of the star magician was infinite, he didn't dare to imagine how many women would be added to his life if he lived again.
He was very confused, so he said to Lin Mengdie: "Anyway, I haven't thought about the matter between you and me yet, let me think about it for a while." β
Zhan Chen turned around and entered the Dan Pavilion, who knew that Lin Mengdie followed in, and the two were entangled all the way, but they were bumped into by Qi Wen.
Qi Wen was amazed when she saw Lin Mengdie, stepped forward with a smile, and said, "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to have a wife here, why don't you introduce me?"
This tone was flat, and he couldn't hear the slightest sourness, Zhan Chen saw that it was Qi Wen, and said angrily: "You misunderstood, I am friends with Mengdie, not the kind of relationship you imagined." β
Lin Mengdie looked at Qi Wen and asked, "This isβ"
Qi Wen introduced herself: "My name is Qi Wen, one of Zhan Chen's wives. β
Lin Mengdie's heart suddenly became unbalanced, although Qi Wen was beautiful, she was not as glamorous as herself, why did Zhan Chen accept her but refuse herself?
Zhan Chen immediately said, "Mengdie, have you seen it? β
"Zhan Chen, you are so hateful!" Lin Mengdie stomped her feet and turned to leave.
Looking at her back, Zhan Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Qi Wen said, "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to also have a ruthless side." β
Zhan Chen couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, I'm doing it for his good." β
"Hmph, don't make excuses, I'll just say that you weren't honest enough and suppressed your emotions, and you did the same to me at the beginning, if it wasn't for that incident between us, I'm afraid you wouldn't have accepted me, right?"
Zhan Chen smiled embarrassedly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and explained: "But I can't always see one and love the other, right?"
"If the two are happy, why not? We women are different from you men, most women are very persistent in their feelings, I can see that the dream butterfly just now is the same, you have been rejecting her, and wishful thinking that she can empathize with her, I am afraid that it will backfire in the end. β
"And what do you say you want to do?"
"Of course, live a more chic and manly life, have the courage to admit your feelings, if you don't mean anything to Lin Mengdie, you have to be decisive, don't be ambiguous, and leave her hope, or marry her. β
"Do you want me to marry her?"
"I don't care, you have other women anyway, but I want you to be honest with yourself, otherwise you'll be too tired to live. β
"Wenwen, what you said makes a lot of sense, let me think about it. Zhan Chen muttered.
"Okay, you think it carefully and tell Mengdie your true feelings, so that she can understand you, then I won't bother you for now. Qi Wen turned around and left when she said this.
Zhan Chen, on the other hand, returned home alone and fell into deep thought, he recalled his past interactions with Lin Mengdie, especially the scenes where she accompanied him to cultivate the mysteries, and her kindness in helping him enter the Gong Pavilion to watch the exercises, as well as her experience of accompanying him to be born and die in the Red Flame Valley, all of which were still vivid.
He began to ask himself, if he really let Lin Mengdie marry someone else, would he be willing? The answer is unwilling, it seems that he likes Lin Mengdie deep down in his heart, maybe he likes it a little more than Qi Wen, he has more of a duty and a commitment to Qi Wen in addition to love.
Thinking of this, Zhan Chen's gaze became firm, he stood up and went out of the door, first came to the Fang Market and selected a few valuable gifts, and then went straight to Lin Gutian's mansion and saw Lin Gutian.
Lin Gutian was very happy to see Zhan Chen coming, and congratulated: "Zhan Chen, the day before yesterday, Xiao Han told me that you broke through the Earth Star Realm, and I still have some doubts, but today I saw that it was true, congratulations." β
Zhan Chen arched his hand and said: "I can break through it without the help of my predecessors." β
"Zhan Chen, are you here to see the old man today, or are you here to see our butterfly?"
"I'm here to see you, and it's for Butterfly. β
"Oh?"
Zhan Chen took out the gift, bowed down, and said, "Senior, I have already thought it through, I am willing to marry Die'er as my wife." β
Lin Gutian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly helped him up from the ground, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time for this sentence, Die'er follows her mother, she is stubborn and admits death, she won't change when she likes you, I see that you have always rejected her before, and also persuaded her to find a new love, but no matter how many times I persuaded her, she always said that she would only marry you, and now that you have finally relented, I am also relieved." β
Zhan Chen raised his head and asked, "Senior, did you agree?"
"Hehe, agreed, of course I agreed, and I immediately told Die'er and her father the good news. β
