My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

Zhao family meeting hall.

As everyone took their seats one after another, the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

Although Feng Wannian restrained his aura and did not display the overbearing pressure of a Saint Emperor, the Zhao family still felt a heavy sense of oppression.

Even Zhao Li felt a little short of breath at this moment, and his back was soaked with sweat from the tension.

Although they had won a great victory over the Thousand Thunder Sect today, and even Wang Heming, who was at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm, died at the hands of the Zhao family, the man in front of them was not Wang Heming, but the patriarch of the Phoenix Imperial Clan, one of the three major imperial clans in the Southern Region, and a genuine fifth-level Saint Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Even when the ancestor of the Zhao family was alive, his strength at the peak was only the third level of the Holy Emperor Realm.

Moreover, there was more than just Feng Wannian, who was at the Saint Emperor level, present.

After Feng Wannian, another imposing woman came. She was Huang Xi's mother, Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting's background is also quite impressive. She was originally an elder of the Jiang family, the first imperial family in the Southern Region. A hundred years ago, she married into the Phoenix imperial family and gave birth to three children, two boys and one girl, for Feng Wannian. They are Feng Qiming, Feng Xi, and Huang Xi.

When Jiang Ting was in the Jiang family, she was also a genius of her generation. Although she was not as famous as Jiang Muyao today, she was also a golden holy body.

After she married into the Phoenix Imperial Clan, she received a large amount of resources from the Phoenix Imperial Clan, and her cultivation level improved rapidly.

But breaking through the Saint Emperor realm is not that easy. Normally speaking, Jiang Ting doesn’t have much hope of breaking through the Saint Emperor realm.

But on the day she gave birth to Huang Xi, the bottleneck that had troubled her for many years was naturally broken through, and she stepped into the realm of Saint Emperor in one fell swoop.

Because of this, Jiang Ting loves Huang Xi so much.

Upon learning that Huang Xi was going to get married, she came out of her retreat without hesitation.

Jiang Ting originally thought that Huang Xi was being bullied outside, and she was filled with murderous intent, even ready to wipe out the Zhao family in one fell swoop.

However, after arriving at the Zhao family, Jiang Ting discovered that this was not the case.

So she called Huang Xiaoran immediately and learned from her everything that happened today.

Jiang Ting was deeply moved when she learned that Huang Xi had lost in a fair fight with Zhao Mu.

As a mother, she knows best what her daughter's abilities are.

Jiang Muyao, the peerless genius of their Jiang family, was only able to suppress Huang Xi by relying on her advantage in realm. If Jiang Muyao also had the cultivation strength of the Saint King realm, it would still be unknown who would win and who would lose.

But Zhao Mu is only at the Holy Spirit Realm!

How strong is this little guy?

Even with the help of imperial-level magic weapons, it is still exaggerated.

Especially after seeing Zhao Mu in person, the anger in Jiang Ting's heart completely dissipated into nothingness.

Not only is he gifted, but he also has an outstanding appearance.

It would be difficult to find another young man like him even if you search the entire Southern Region.

The more she looked at Zhao Mu, the more she liked him.

Although Huang Xi's decision was a bit too hasty and impulsive, it has to be admitted that her vision is still quite good.

"Ahem, since no one is talking, let me say a few words first."

Zhao Mu coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "First of all, I want to apologize to my uncle and aunt for marrying Huang Xi without their consent. I admit that Huang Xi and I were too impulsive."

"But matters of the heart are often impulsive and irrational. I hope you two elders can forgive us."

Huang Xi saw this and immediately stood up. She grabbed Zhao Mu's hand and said to her parents, "Mom and Dad, I'm grown up now. I have the right to decide my own future. We've already been married and are now husband and wife. No matter how much you try to stop us, it's useless. I hope you can accept the reality calmly and bless us both."

"Cough cough..."

Feng Wannian almost vomited blood, his face turned ashen, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.

He was afraid that his words would be too harsh and hurt his daughter's feelings, causing her to hate him, which would be counterproductive.

But asking him to bless Zhao Mu and his daughter... this is more painful than killing him.

Feng Wannian felt helpless and could only turn his gaze to Jiang Ting beside him, wanting her to persuade Huang Xi.

Jiang Ting thought for a moment and said, "In principle, as a mother, I don't want Huang Xi to get married so early. She's only sixteen and still has a lot of prime years ahead of her. If she becomes a wife too early, she'll lose a lot of opportunities."

Hearing this, Feng Wannian quickly nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Xiaojiu, your mother is right. You're only sixteen, and it's too early to get married now. Even if you have feelings for Zhao Mu, you've just met and don't know each other very well. You shouldn't make such a hasty decision on such an important matter."

Jiang Ting frowned slightly, and suddenly glared at Feng Wannian.

Feng Wannian was stunned.

Huh? Did I say something wrong?

Madam, I am just saying what you want. Isn't this wrong?

Jiang Ting didn't bother to pay attention to Feng Wannian and continued, "But after meeting Zhao Mu today, I really like him. Since you two have already been married, if I force you to separate now, it will only damage Huang Xi's reputation if the news gets out. I can agree to your marriage, but..."

Jiang Ting's eyes narrowed as she looked at Zhao Mu and said, "You have to agree to my three conditions before I can safely betroth Huang Xi to you."

Zhao Mu nodded: "Aunt, please speak."

"First, my Huang Xi is ranked ninth on the Southern Territory's Tianjiao Ranking. If you want to become her husband, you can't be an unknown person. I want you to be ranked first on the Southern Territory Tianjiao Ranking within a year. Only then will you be worthy of Huang Xi."

"Secondly, although the Zhao family was once an imperial clan, it has now fallen on hard times. This is an indisputable fact. My daughter, Huang Xi, is in the Phoenix Imperial Clan, where she can receive top-tier resources. She cannot live in poverty after marrying into your Zhao family. I want you to guarantee that the amount of cultivation resources Huang Xi receives each year after marrying into the Zhao family will not be less than that of the Phoenix Imperial Clan. In other words, you can only provide more resources to Huang Xi, not less."

"Third, since you're married, I don't object to you living together, but if Huang Xi gives birth to a child, I demand that the first child belong to the Phoenix Imperial Clan, and the Zhao family is not allowed to compete for it."

Zhao Mu listened attentively, then nodded solemnly: "Aunt, I can agree to all three of the points you mentioned."

To be honest, among these three requirements, the only difficult one is the first one.

Being ranked first on the Southern Territory Prodigy List was not an achievement that anyone could easily achieve.

But for Zhao Mu, this is actually the easiest to achieve.

"Madam, what are you doing???" Feng Wannian looked at Jiang Ting in disbelief.

Could it be that she really intends to let Huang Xi marry into the Zhao family!

"Stop talking nonsense and listen to me on this matter."

Jiang Ting glared at him, and Feng Wannian was so frightened that he suddenly became silent and didn't dare to say a word.
