In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

As the two walked forward, a towering mansion gradually came into view.

That was where Liu Rumei's husband's family, the Sun family, lived. The gate of the mansion was carved with intricate totems, demonstrating the family's prominence and majesty.

However, beneath this glory and majesty lies unknown darkness and oppression.

Li Zimo and Liu Rumei stood side by side in front of the mansion, both of their eyes filled with determination and resolve.

They knew that what lay ahead would be a difficult struggle, but they also believed that as long as they relied on each other, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

When Li Zimo and Liu Rumei stepped into the residence of Liu Rumei's husband, the air was filled with depression and tension.

When the servants in the mansion saw Liu Rumei, some of them looked at her with sympathy, while others avoided her gaze coldly, obviously not being friendly towards this unmarried widow.

They walked through the winding corridor and came to the main hall.

In the main hall, the patriarch of the Sun family, the powerful fifth-level warrior, was sitting on the main seat with a gloomy face and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Beside him, several family elders also had unfriendly expressions, obviously they had learned of the arrival of Li Zimo and Liu Rumei.

"Humph, Liu Rumei, you finally brought a man back."

The clan leader sneered, his voice full of obvious disdain and ridicule.

"Do you think this will change anything?"

When Liu Rumei heard this, her body trembled slightly, but then she straightened her back and bravely met the gaze of the patriarch.

"Chief, I don't want to change anything. I just hope you can respect my wishes and let me freely choose my own destiny."

Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

"Freedom? Humph, as long as you are in our Sun family, you are a member of the Sun family. Your fate will naturally be determined by our Sun family."

The clan leader snorted coldly, his tone full of arrogance and undignified attitude.

At this time, Li Zimo stood up, his eyes flashing with determination as he looked directly at the patriarch.

"Clan leader, I respect you as the elder of the Sun family, but I must also tell you that Liu Rumei is my friend, and I will never sit idly by and watch her suffer any injustice."

"If you insist on forcing her to do something she doesn't want to do, then I, Li Zimo, will definitely not stand idly by."

Upon hearing this, the clan leader's eyes narrowed, and he was obviously surprised by Li Zimo's provocation.

He looked Li Zimo up and down and sneered:

"Hmph, a mere first-level warrior dares to speak so arrogantly in front of me? Do you think you can change anything?"

"So what if he's a first-level warrior?"

Li Zimo responded without flinching,

"The way of a warrior is to protect and uphold justice. If I can't even protect my friends, then what's the point of my high level of cultivation?"

"On the contrary, no matter how low my cultivation is, as long as I am doing what is just, I will have no fear!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the eyes of both sides were full of hostility and provocation.

At this moment, a family elder stepped forward and tried to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Chief, I think this matter still needs to be carefully considered. After all, Liu Rumei is also one of our clansmen, so we can't be too forceful."

However, the patriarch was not moved at all. He slammed the table and shouted angrily:

"Enough! I have made up my mind on this matter and it cannot be changed! Liu Rumei must marry that man!"

Faced with the patriarch's arrogance and unreasonableness, a hint of determination flashed in Li Zimo and Liu Rumei's eyes.

They knew that a conflict was inevitable.

Li Zimo once again firmly put forward his conditions:

"Patriarch Sun, I am willing to pay these 100,000 spirit stones for Liu Rumei."

"But my condition is that from now on, the Sun family will not interfere with or attempt anything against Liu Rumei and her shop."

"At the same time, Liu Rumei must completely sever ties with the Sun family and no longer be involved in any way."

Everyone in the Sun family was surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary warrior was willing to pay such a huge price for a widow who had not yet married into the family.

The clan leader narrowed his eyes and looked Li Zimo up and down, as if assessing his strength and determination.

"Huh, you think you can buy out our Sun family with just 100,000 spirit stones?"

The clan leader sneered, his tone full of disdain.

"I want 150,000, or no deal!"

Li Zimo's face darkened when he heard this, but he did not get angry immediately.

He looked at the patriarch deeply, his tone calm but with a threat that could not be ignored:

"Patriarch Sun, you are playing with fire. One hundred thousand spirit stones is the greatest sincerity I can offer. If you insist on one hundred and fifty thousand, then I will have no choice but to ask the Divine Guards to judge the matter."

“By then, not only will you not be able to get the 100,000 spirit stones, but your reputation and that of the Sun family will also be damaged.”

"Are you really willing to put your entire family into unnecessary trouble just for a mere 50,000 spirit stones?"

The clan leader's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

He naturally knew the majesty and power of the Divine Guards. Once they intervened, things would become complicated and difficult to control.

He looked at the family members around him, and they all looked worried.

After some inner struggle, the patriarch finally nodded and compromised:

"Okay, then one hundred thousand spirit stones. But you have to remember that this is something you gave voluntarily, not something our Sun family forced you to do."

Li Zimo smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

"Of course, this is my own free will. I just hope the Sun family can keep their promise and stop interfering with Liu Rumei and her shop."

And so, the two sides reached an agreement.

Li Zimo paid 100,000 spirit stones on the spot, and the Sun family officially severed ties with Liu Rumei and no longer had any intentions towards her and her shop.

Liu Rumei looked at all this, her heart filled with gratitude and relief. She knew that she had finally escaped from this cage that had bound her for so long and ushered in a new life.

Just as Li Zimo and Liu Rumei, accompanied by everyone from the Sun family, walked out of the gate, they were stopped by an old man.

The old man stood at the gate and blocked the way of Li Zimo and Liu Rumei with a stern look on his face.

His eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, finally landing on Liu Rumei, his tone filled with dissatisfaction and anger:

"Liu Rumei, what do you mean? I gave the Sun family 50,000 spirit stones as a betrothal gift, and you left with this man? The Sun family is breaking their promise!"

When Liu Rumei heard this, her face turned pale. She looked at Li Zimo, a hint of helplessness and apology flashing in her eyes.

Li Zimo frowned, obviously angry and disdainful of the Sun family's behavior.

But he did not get angry immediately. Instead, he looked at the old man calmly and asked in a deep voice:

"Who are you? Why did you say you gave the Sun family 50,000 spirit stones?"

The old man snorted coldly and introduced himself:

"I am Wang Kun from the Wang family. I paid the Sun family a betrothal gift of 50,000 spirit stones, and she became mine. I never expected such a change to happen."
