"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Second worship high hall!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

It was used as a ring for martial arts competitions and recruiting relatives, but now it has become a temporary venue for Su Yu and Yu Nanshuang to get married.

Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, Su Yu wore a splendid red robe, and Yu Nanshuang married under the gaze of tens of thousands of warriors in the rivers and lakes.

Su Yu in the field has undoubtedly become the envy of all men at this moment.

This year's competition to recruit relatives, the final result exceeded everyone's expectations.

Although Su Yu was not the first person of the younger generation, he married the first person of the younger generation.

Such a result undoubtedly made many men present unable to accept this fact.

Especially under Sun Xichui's instigation, after everyone knew how Su Yu captured Yu Nanshuang's heart, they sighed even more.

If you want to marry Yaochi Holy Land, just because the barbecue is delicious?

And the news of Su Yu's marriage to the Yaochi Holy Land will also follow these warriors on the rivers and lakes to return to various parts of Kyushu, and under the competition for praise, Su Yu's name will also completely resound throughout the entire Great Wei Kyushu

"If eyes can kill people, I'm afraid I'm going to deserve death today, right?"

Facing all the envious and sour eyes, Su Yu couldn't help but snort in his heart.

It's just that what these people don't know is that he can marry Yu Nanshuang, but it's not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Without real strength as a qualification, how can he hold a beauty?

Do you really think you're just lying there, and then the giant pie falls on your head?

You must know that for the sake of Yu Nanshuang's spiritual essence, Xiao Jing and Zhou Qi are plotting against him.

If he is really just an ordinary person, does he really have a chance to marry Yu Nanshuang and get her spiritual essence?

"Licheng!"

"Send to the cave!"

After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, Su Yuze, under the eyes of countless people, pulled Yu Nanshuang, who was draped in a red hijab, to the arranged wedding room.

After sending Yu Nanshuang to the wedding room, Su Yu came out again, and saluted one table after another.

However, because he is the identity of the Zhenwu Division Qianhu, although many Jianghu warriors are extremely envious of him, they just drink sullenly, and do not show how familiar they are with him.

Su Yu was also happy to be like this, anyway, after today, he and most of the people present would not have any intersection, and he was too lazy to make a false deal with these people.

"Brother-in-law, I thought about it a lot, but I didn't expect that it would be you who would marry the Holy Maiden of Yaochi."

When Su Yu came over to toast, Wu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

The contest held by the Yaochi Holy Land to recruit relatives, my uncle has always been a person cultivated by various major forces participating in the contest and recruiting relatives.

Su Yu married the Holy Maiden of Yaochi as a thousand households of the Zhenwu Division, and since the Yaochi Holy Land held a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, this kind of thing has never happened.

Su Yu said with a smile: "Third brother, I didn't expect this kind of thing, don't say anything, third brother, you can have a few more drinks today, the hospitality is not good, and when the third brother returns to Tai'an City, let's talk about the wine again." ”

As for the eldest brother Wu Cang, because he didn't say much, he didn't say much, just said congratulations, and touched a glass with Su Yu, and then drank it all.

In this world, it has always been rich and powerful people who live a life of three wives and four concubines.

Ordinary people may be dissatisfied, but who cares about their voices, and they have to hold back if they are not convinced.

Therefore, there was no dissatisfaction with Su Yu's marriage with Yu Nanshuang in the Yaochi Holy Land, whether it was Wu Xuan or Wu Cang.

On the contrary, I will feel that this is a very lucky thing for Su Yu.

Outsiders don't know Lingyun, but the two of them definitely do.

Yu Nanshuang and Su Yu got married, and they can also improve Su Yu's cultivation, this kind of good thing falls in front of him like a pie, and he can eat it with his mouth open, can it still be pushed out?

As for the eldest prince and the second prince sitting on the side, looking at Su Yu who was surrounded by the crowd, his face looked a little complicated at this moment.

Who would have thought that in the end, it would be a town warrior Si Qianhu who escorted them to the Holy Land of Yaochi, and he could return with a beauty?

It is estimated that when the news returns to Tai'an City, it will be shocked.

However, as long as this year's uncle is not his competitor, then this result can be accepted by both of them, at least the two sides are still on the same starting line.

When Su Yu came over to toast, the two of them were smiling and saying words of blessing, but they seemed to have mixed feelings in their hearts.

I thought I would become the protagonist, but I didn't expect that Su Yu in the escort team became the one who was in the limelight.

You don't have to think about it to know that when these people who attended the wedding banquet go back, they will tell others everything that happened in the Yaochi Holy Land.

Su Yu may not be the first person of the younger generation, but he has become the man behind the first person of the younger generation

While the clone was entertaining everyone at the banquet in front, Su Yu's deity, who was hiding in the shadows, manipulated another clone to Yu Nanshuang's residence at the moment.

That's right, Su Yu, who is responsible for entertaining everyone, is just a clone of Su Yu.

He wasn't sure if Xiao Jing would take action, in order to avoid Xiao Jing from secretly breaking out, Su Yu's deity hid in a remote room and manipulated the clone to marry Yu Nanshuang.

The other doppelganger, as his elder, went to explain the last words to Yu Nanshuang and gave her a wedding gift.

"Ahem, ahem."

Su Yu coughed dryly.

Yu Nanshuang in the house heard the sound and lifted the red hijab on her head.

"Senpai?"

Yu Nanshuang couldn't help asking, "Why are you here?" ”

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Since you are married to the grandson of the old man, how can the old man give the granddaughter-in-law a congratulatory gift?" ”

Hearing Su Yu's words, Yu Nanshuang's pretty face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

The senior in front of him really has a great relationship with Su Yu.

Now I heard that he was Su Yu's grandfather, which also confirmed Yu Nanshuang's inner guess.

Presumably, he was worried about the safety of his grandson, so he secretly escorted Su Yu all the way to the Yaochi Holy Land.

Then, in a series of changes, he thought that he was qualified to be his daughter-in-law, so he secretly came to his rescue.

Yu Nanshuang said respectfully: "Now Nanshuang has married Su Yubaitang, and the predecessor is Su Yu's grandfather, and he is Nanshuang's grandfather." ”

"Grandpa has a life-saving grace for Nanshuang, grandpa's congratulatory gift, how dare Nanshuang accept it with shame."

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Now that Yu'er has grown up, the old man can finally let go of a lot of thoughts." ”

"Tomorrow, the old man will go out to travel the world, and he may never come back."

"Before leaving, the old man has something to give you, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the old man to congratulate you on your wedding."

With that, Su Yu flipped his wrist, took out a brocade box from the space ring and threw it over.

Yu Nanshuang caught the brocade box, and her pretty face couldn't help but be a little curious about the contents of the brocade box.

"Grandpa, what's in this brocade box?"

Yu Nanshuang asked tentatively.

Su Yu chuckled, "You can open it and take a look." ”

Seeing this, Yu Nanshuang opened the brocade box, and inside the brocade box, a Dan Pill glowing with colorful rays was horizontal, and its appearance alone already made people's eyes shine.

"This is a fixed face pill, and the user can keep the appearance when taking it until the day when Shouyuan is cut off."

Su Yu gave an explanation for this elixir.

Dingyan Dan?

Yu Nanshuang's eyes lit up, and her pretty face was full of shock.

For women, is there a more precious gift in this world than Dingyan Dan?

can withstand the changes of the years, but he can always maintain the same appearance.

It is said that not long ago, there was a Dingyan Pill in Tai'an City for auction, and it was even sold for a sky-high price of 21 million!

Now, the Dingyan Pill, which is worth 21 million, has appeared in front of her.

Even Yu Nanshuang, who has a cold temperament and little desire, has a strong desire in the depths of his eyes at this moment.

She forced herself to withdraw her gaze, and then said respectfully: "Grandpa, this gift is too valuable, Nanshuang is ashamed."

Su Yu chuckled and said, "As the old man's granddaughter-in-law, then don't talk about the two families, this Dingyan Pill is the wedding gift that the old man gave you." ”

"In the future, Su Yu will be handed over to you to take care of."

As soon as the words fell, Su Yu's figure disappeared.

Looking at the position where Su Yu was standing before, Yu Nanshuang was stunned.

Su Yu's grandfather, what kind of cultivation is it?

A Dingyan Pill, also say to give it?

She thought for a moment, took out the Dingyan Pill in the brocade box, and then stuffed it into her mouth.

After entering the abdomen, the Dingyan Pill dissolves, and the moisturizing matter dissolves silently in the body, and you can't feel any changes in the body.

Yu Nan came to the front of the bronze mirror to look at his appearance, and his appearance did not seem to have changed.

"The Pill just makes the user's appearance stay the same as when they take it."

"Whether it's useful or not, we'll have to wait months to find out."

Yu Nanshuang pondered for a moment and muttered in a low voice.

Until nightfall, Su Yu found an opportunity to leave the scene after socializing, and then Su Yu himself put on a red robe and went to the wing where Yu Nanshuang was.

"Squeak."

When Su Yu opened the door, Yu Nanshuang's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

The whole room was a little dim, only a dragon and phoenix candle was burning slowly.

Su Yu used a joy scale to pick the red hijab on Yu Nanshuang's head, and her face that was overwhelming the country and the city was revealed in front of him.

Facing Su Yu's scorching gaze, Yu Nanshuang's pretty face was involuntarily dyed with a layer of red, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Lady, it's time for us to drink a glass of wine." ”

"Hmm."

Yu Nanshuang nodded shyly and uttered a word in a nasal voice.

After the two of them finished drinking and exchanged glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the room became a little eerily quiet, except for the faint sound of the two of them breathing.

The smell of the man on Su Yu's body poured into his nasal cavity, and in the dim night, Yu Nanshuang's eyes were full of crystal, and his palms were nervously sweating.

The atmosphere was a little eerie.

Su Yu couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Lady, it's late at night, so let's rest?" ”

"Huh?"

Yu Nanshuang couldn't help but be startled, and the flush on her pretty face gradually spread towards her neck.

She lowered her head and said in a faint mosquito voice, "Hmm." ”

Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and with a flick of his fingers, a wisp of energy blew out the dragon and phoenix candle standing on the table.

Half an hour later, the bed made a 'creaking' sound.

In the end, it was finally overwhelmed, and it collapsed before the sky was about to turn white

When the sky was bright outside the window, Yu Nanshuang frowned, like a kitten, her pretty face looked a little tired, and she shrank in the quilt and fell asleep.

On the other hand, Su Yu seemed to be unusually energetic at the moment.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and looked inward at the changes taking place in his body.

In the dantian, six golden dragons with a body of ten thousand feet long had hideous and majestic faces, sneaking in the silver sea.

Open the System Panel.

Su Yu thought silently in his heart.

"It's really incredible, the spiritual essence in Nanshuang's body actually allowed me to go from the early stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm to the late stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm."

"No wonder Xiao Jing and Zhou Qi are willing to use the next three indiscriminate means, but also to help Xiao Lingsu get the spiritual essence."

"If Xiao Lingsu obtained the spiritual essence with the perfect cultivation of the Iron Bone Realm, it is very likely that he will skip the realm of the Fish Leap Realm and directly enter the Hidden Dragon Realm."

"And I get the spirit essence, from the early stage to the late stage, if I use attribute points to add points, I need at least twelve attribute points."

"Now that I have been promoted to the late stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm, it is equivalent to saving me twelve attributes."

"The result is similar to what I expected, the spiritual essence on Nanshuang's body does not allow me to obtain attribute points."

"However, being able to be promoted from the early stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm to the late stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm, this result is enough to make me very happy."

"This trip to the Holy Land of Yaochi is really not in vain, I can be said to have become the biggest winner."

Looking at the current realm displayed in the cultivation column, Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he muttered in a low voice in his heart.

Not only did he get the third piece of Heavenly Dao Jade, but his cultivation also went straight from the early stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm to the late stage of the Hidden Dragon Realm.

Yao Chi and his party, for Su Yu, can be said to have made a lot of money.

Su Yu stretched his pantothenic waist, then got up to get dressed and washed.

Today is the day when everyone is cleared of everyone in the Yaochi Holy Land, and Su Yu may have the opportunity to stay in the Yaochi Holy Land again.

But he had to go and order the people below to escort the eldest prince and the second prince back, and then he and Yu Nanshuang followed up.

Tai'an City.

Half a month has passed, and the sun is about to set.

The team of Zhenwu Division escorting the eldest prince and the second prince finally appeared in the eyes of everyone watching the excitement outside the city gate.

The news that Su Yu, the master of the Thousand Households of the Wusi of Jingzhou Town, finally married the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, had already spread to Tai'an City more than ten days ago.

The news that Su Yu married the Holy Maiden of Yaochi undoubtedly caused heated discussions among the people in the city.

Who would have thought that Su Yu, who had just joined the Zhenwu Division for more than a year, was just one of the people who accompanied him to guard the eldest prince and the second prince, but in the end he succeeded in holding the beauty?

When the news reached Zhenwusi for the first time, Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong looked at the letter for a long time and couldn't come back to their senses.

It wasn't until a long time passed that the two of them looked at each other when they lost focus, and they gritted their teeth and said in unison: "Brother Su is really damned." ”

The people who greeted him at the gate of the city at this moment, in addition to Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong, even Wei Lianyi was also present, and beside her was Wu Ling, who was already pregnant in June, and the four famous Oirans in the world.

Looking at the team walking towards Tai'an City under the sunset, Wei Lianyi's pretty face looked a little complicated.

The fact that Su Yu married Yaochi Holy Land was something she never expected.

And she also knows about the secret luck of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

The purpose of her coming here is naturally very curious, after Su Yu got Yu Nanshuang's spiritual essence, how is her current cultivation?

For her, Su Yu is undoubtedly a hero, after all, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince marrying Yu Nanshuang, it will have adverse consequences for her.

Su Yu's marriage to Yu Nanshuang undoubtedly broke the plan of the forces behind the eldest prince and the second prince.

As for the ordinary people who greeted them at the city gate, they mainly wanted to join in the fun, wanting to see if the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was as the world said.

"The lowly Su Yu (Sun Xitui) greets your lord."

When the team came to the city gate, seeing Wei Lianyi, who was already waiting there, Su Yu and Sun Xichui couldn't help but glance at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Hmm."

Wei Lianyi nodded, glanced at the two of them, and said, "It's hard work." ”

Then she looked at Su Yu, and said, "Su Yu, how are you cultivating now?" ”

Hearing Wei Lianyi's words, Liang Yuxuan and the three of them were all stunned, and they were all a little confused.

Isn't Brother Su a martial artist in the middle of the Copper Skin Realm?

Why did Wei Lianyi suddenly ask him how his cultivation was?

Seeing Wei Lianyi asking about his cultivation, Su Yu smiled and said, "Lord Hui, the humble position is now the consummation of the Fish Leap Realm. ”

Hearing Su Yu's words, Liang Yuxuan, Sun Xichui, and He Bohong widened their eyes suddenly, their hearts beat slowly, and their faces were incredulous.

The pinnacle of the Fish Leap Realm?

How is this possible?

Isn't he in the middle of the Copper Skin?

How did you suddenly reach the peak of the Fish Leap Realm?

The three of them had strong doubts in their hearts and wanted to ask Su Yu, but they also knew that the occasion at this moment was not suitable, so they had to forcibly suppress their doubts.

Sun Xitui's heart is undoubtedly the most complicated at this moment.

Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong's promotion to the Leaping Fish Realm had already made him feel pressured, and he even did not hesitate to practice day and night for this reason, wanting to strive for an early breakthrough.

But now Brother Su, who was a big brother Sun, had also climbed on his head, and even shook it off far away, which made him feel a little discouraged.

Does this still make people live?

The reason why Su Yu set his cultivation to be perfect in the Fish Leap Realm was because this cultivation had a huge space for operation.

If one day he encounters danger and reveals his cultivation in the Hidden Dragon Realm, it can be explained that he just broke through a few days ago.

If there will be no changes in the future, he has to show his cultivation in the Hidden Dragon Realm, then the current cultivation realm is just right, and it belongs to a position that can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Hearing Su Yu say that his cultivation was already a consummation of the Leaping Realm, Wei Lianyi glanced at him with a complicated face.

At present, he is only a Fish Leap Realm Perfection, and when he Su Yu left Tai'an City, he was only a Bronze Skin Realm martial artist.

When he came back again just over a month later, he already had a cultivation comparable to his own.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

However, she also knew that someone like Su Yu who could quickly improve her cultivation with the help of the spiritual essence of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi would only appear in twenty years.

Su Yu is such a lucky guy, how many can there be in this world?

As for Ling'er on the side, the pretty face also thought a little complicated, not only pleased with Su Yu's rapid rise in cultivation, but also resentful of Su Yu's flowers and grass outside.

Obviously, on the night before Su Yu left, the four Oiran in the family tossed Su Yu in a welcoming way, just because they were worried that he would continue to bring women back outside.

Unexpectedly, he really married the Holy Maiden of Yaochi back home, and sure enough, he is an excellent man, no matter where he goes, he will be taken in by people at a glance.

This not only proves that she is not bad at picking men, but it also gives her a sense of crisis, after all, Yu Nanshuang's appearance is still very clear as a member of the Yaochi Holy Land.

"Ling'er, your belly is so big now, just stay at home, don't come to pick me up."

Su Yu walked up to Wu Ling and said with a smile.

"You've been away for so long, how can I not come and pick you up."

After Wu Ling finished speaking, he glanced at him, and then couldn't help asking, "By the way, what about Sister Nanshuang." ”

"Nanshuang."

Su Yuchao called Yu Nanshuang, who was sitting in the chariot.

Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong couldn't help but look at the curtains of the chariot together, and they were also very curious about whether Yu Nanshuang, the holy daughter of Yaochi, was really as beautiful and fragrant as the legend.

When the chariot was lifted, Yu Nanshuang's pretty face with a flowery face was revealed in front of everyone.

After all, Sun Xichui has seen it many times along the way, but he has a certain immunity.

But after all, Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong were seeing Su Yu's newly married lady for the first time, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes at this moment, and their breathing was a little short.

Such a woman who is captivating the country and the city, and the country is beautiful and fragrant, has become Su Yu's lady?

Brother Su, how can he de?

He's damned!!

If Yu Nanshuang was like a woman who didn't eat fireworks in the world before, as she became Su Yu's woman, her pretty face added a touch of touching charm, and her eyebrows looking at Su Yu also showed a moving brilliance.

Obviously, she is very full of her honor to be Su Yu's lady.

"Nanshuang, let me introduce you."

Facing Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong's sour gaze, Su Yu pointed at Wei Lianyi and said, "This is Lord Wei that I told you, and I am serving under her." ”

Yu Nanshuang bowed and said, "Nanshuang has seen Lord Wei. “

Wei Lianyi nodded and said, "Su Yu is a good man, congratulations." ”

Then Su Yu introduced again: "These two are my colleagues, Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong. ”

"Nanshuang has seen Brother Liang, Brother He."

He Bohong and Liang Yuxuan hurriedly greeted each other with a smile: "Hello brother and sister, good brother and sister." ”

Looking at Yu Nanshuang's face, infinite regret surged in the hearts of the two.

If Su Yu in the accompanying escort team is replaced by himself, then maybe he will marry the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and return to Tai'an City.

Brother Su is really damned!

The two of them thought indignantly.

Su Yu continued: "Nanshuang, this is Ling'er, you must already know each other. “

"She is Mei Ji, this is Shi Shi, this is Fei Xuan, and this is Piaoxi."

Yu Nanshuang greeted them one by one.

Shi Shi, the master of tea art, immediately grabbed Yu Nanshuang's hand and said affectionately: "Sister Nanshuang is so beautiful, when you get home, Shi Shi will teach you to play mahjong." ”

Seeing Shi Shi's appearance, the corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched, and she knew that she was preparing to pull Yu Nanshuang into her camp to deal with the two of them.

On the other hand, Piao Xu and Concubine Xuan, the smile on her pretty face couldn't help but stiffen at this moment, and she scolded Shi Shi for not talking about martial arts.

Mahjong?

Yu Nanshuang's face was puzzled, but she nodded.

Then there was a period of greetings, Yu Nanshuang was taken back to Su Mansion by Wu Ling and a few people to settle down, and Su Yu and Sun Xitui returned to Zhenwusi first to report everything that happened on this trip to Wei Lianyi.

When they heard that most of Penglai City had been destroyed under the heaven-level martial arts urged by the Soul Palace Realm martial arts, Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong both widened their eyes, secretly hating their bad luck and not having the opportunity to go to the Yaochi Holy Land to appreciate the beauty of the ruins left under the heaven-level martial arts.

After Su Yu and Sun Xichui finished reporting, Wei Lianyi motioned for the two to go back and rest first.

After Su Yu and Sun Xizhui left, He Bohong and Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but look at Wei Lianyi.

"My lord, Su Lao. When Master Su left Tai'an City, he was only in the middle of the Copper Skin Realm, why did his trip to the Yaochi Holy Land allow him to have a perfect cultivation in the Fish Leap Realm? ”

Liang Yuxuan was puzzled: "How could he directly skip the Iron Bone Realm and directly promote to the Fish Leap Realm, and even have the cultivation of the peak of the Fish Leap Realm?" ”

Facing the gaze of the two, Wei Lianyi said slowly: "This is going to talk about the black water pool of the Yaochi Holy Land, as well as the Yaochi Holy Maiden cultivated by the Yaochi Holy Land."

When Wei Lianyi told all the secrets of Heishuitan, Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong both widened their eyes and lost their minds.

Co-author Su Yu can step into the Fish Leap Realm out of thin air, all thanks to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi that he just married?

The faces of the two of them had a thick sourness, they had cultivated for most of their lives, and now they were only in the early stage of the Leaping Realm.

But Su Yu is good, just accompanying the eldest prince and the second prince, and after he comes back, he already has the perfect cultivation of the Fish Leap Realm.

Where does this make sense?

Liang Yuxuan and He Bohong glanced at each other, and their hearts were complicated.

Who would have thought that Su Yu would catch up with them, or even catch up with them.

Now that Su Yu has a perfect cultivation in the Fish Leap Realm, his promotion to the Hidden Dragon Realm is almost a sure thing.

What the two of them didn't know was that Wei Lianyi's thoughts at the moment were not the same as theirs.

She originally thought that she had cultivated to the peak of the Fish Leap Realm, and her speed was already very fast.

Now it only took Su Yu more than a year to catch up with her footsteps, even if she couldn't accept such a fact for a while, but it just happened.

"I have to say, this guy's luck is indeed very good."

Wei Lianyi couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

She waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's not too early, you can go back and rest." ”

"Yes!"

He Bohong and Liang Yuxuan responded, then glanced at each other, turned around and exited the study.
