My ancestors were spiritual plant growers, so it's not surprising that I hunt demons every day,

"Liu, can't you speak human language?!"

"Liu, what did I just tell you?!"

"Mom! Please stop talking nonsense!"

After Liu finished speaking, Wang Rong, Gu Qinghong, and her second son Gu Shisheng all glared at her angrily.

Even Anita Mui, who was standing next to him, was stunned:

Didn't we agree on everything yesterday? Why did things change today? More importantly, if the two families can't reach an agreement on the marriage, not only will she have to return all the gifts she received, but even the fire fox pelt that Cui Ying just promised will be gone.

In a flash, she hurriedly stood up and tried to reassure him:

"Madam Gu, you know that the reason I'm a matchmaker is because I know a bit about divination passed down from my ancestors. I've carefully calculated the birth dates and times of Cui Ying and Young Master Gu, and they are a perfect match, destined for many generations to come!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu curled her lip and said disdainfully:

"Come on, do you think I don't know your reputation, Mei Rulan? You can even make the dead seem alive!"

"boom"

Gu Qinghong, already furious, slammed his hand on the table and pointed to the side hall next door, shouting:

"Liu, get back to your room. You have no right to speak here!"

"What do you mean I'm not qualified? Shi Yin is my child, whom I carried for ten months and gave birth to. I'm going to take charge of him!"

Liu remained unmoved, sitting in place and confronting Gu Qinghong without fear.

"you!"

Gu Qinghong was so angry that veins throbbed on his forehead. Just as he was about to say something more, Wang Rong, who was standing next to him, stood up angrily and reached out to pull the somewhat impulsive Gu Qinghong back, advising him:

“Madam Liu, Madam Gu! I, Wang Rong, would like to remind you that if you do not wish to agree to the marriage between Shi Yin and Cui Ying, you should have said so earlier! For this marriage, our family has built a new house and purchased ritual implements.”

“Yesterday when we invited Aunt Mei to your house, you agreed to the engagement! You asked us to come today to discuss the engagement, and we have come as promised!”

"But what about now? What nonsense are you spouting here?! My Cui Ying is a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator. What makes her inferior to your Gu Shiyin? If she weren't devoted to Shiyin, there would be a line of cultivators in Thundercloud City wanting to marry into our family!"

"If we can't reach an agreement, then we can't reach an agreement! And you're even cursing my daughter! Liu, listen to me! I'm not slapping you today only because I'm showing you some leniency out of consideration for my elder brother and Shi Yin! Besides, you're the one who ruined this marriage! When my daughter achieves Foundation Establishment, Qi Condensation, and the Supreme Dao, don't come crying to us!"

Wang Rong, who already had a fiery temper, finally couldn't take it anymore and completely exploded at this moment.

As Cui Ying's mother, she has witnessed the changes in her over the past few months firsthand.

Although she didn't know why Cui Ying had changed so quickly or become so capable, she knew that no matter what happened, Cui Ying would always be her proudest daughter!

Whether it's marrying a husband or becoming a wife, only her daughter has the right to choose others; no one else has the right to choose her daughter!

Since the Gu family is blind to talent, they will regret it sooner or later. With Cui Ying's looks and cultivation, why should she give up the whole forest for a small blade of grass?

“Come on, Third Sister! Let’s go home! What a waste of the gray leopard pelt you went to hunt for others! We’d rather take it back to Ta Xue to line her nest than give it to those ungrateful bastards.”

She had long disliked the Gu family, and after venting her anger, she ignored Liu's expression and pulled Cui Ying to walk outside.

Cui Ying only glanced back and saw Gu Shiyin's bloodshot eyes and his unwillingness to part.

In fact, even now, Cui Ying can't say for sure whether it's the lingering feelings of unrequited love from her youth in her past life that's causing her distress, or whether she really cares about Gu Shiyin so much that she completely disregards worldly opinions.

But having been given a second chance at life, she only wants to follow her heart.

Cherish the present and indulge yourself this once.

"mother!"

Thinking of this, Cui Ying suddenly stopped and grabbed the furious Wang Rong, saying:

"Mother, please let me say a few words."

After speaking, she looked at Gu Shiyin's mother, Madam Liu, and asked calmly:

“Aunt Gu, I don’t understand. I could easily provide the house and magical artifacts you asked for before. Now my cultivation has soared, and even Uncle Gu has agreed to our marriage. Why are you the only one who doesn’t agree? Is it just because I’m a rogue cultivator without any foundation?”

After Cui Ying finished speaking, Gu Shiyin, who was standing next to her, also knelt down in front of Liu Shi with a thud, looking at Liu Shi with bloodshot eyes and urging her:

"Mother, I don't understand either! Sister Ying is no less capable than anyone else, and she has already accomplished everything, so why won't you agree?"

At this moment, seeing Gu Shiyin's heartbroken appearance, Madam Liu felt her heart aching as if it were being torn apart. She reached out to help Gu Shiyin up, but he stubbornly refused to get up.

"Shi Yin, let me ask you one last time: are you truly determined?"

Liu sighed. Seeing Gu Shiyin kneel down and kowtow without hesitation, vowing to die for his principles, she could only look up at Cui Ying and say sharply:

“Cui Ying, as long as you agree to Aunt Gu’s last two conditions, I will immediately agree to your marriage with Shi Yin.”

"What conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Ying was not pleasantly surprised. Instead, she frowned slightly as she looked at the mother and son.

Because she believed that this last condition would definitely be more difficult than all the previous requirements.

"All I need is for you to promise that you will never go to the Phoenix Mountain Range to hunt demons again. With your current Qi Refining Level 5 cultivation, you can live a good life even if you continue to be a spirit plant grower, as long as you are willing."

After a pause, Liu looked intently at Cui Ying and continued, "I don't want you to one day perish in the mouths of those demonic beasts in Phoenix Mountain Range, do you understand?"

really!

Cui Ying sighed inwardly and shook her head without hesitation, saying:

"Aunt Gu, please forgive me for not being able to do it."

They were cultivators who were meant to fight against others for wealth, against the land for spiritual energy, and against the heavens for life. Only through constant battles could they acquire more resources.

If she gives up her fighting spirit, what difference is there between her and waiting to die?

Moreover, she cultivates the way of the sword, which is inherently a path of killing and conquest.

Only if she is strong enough can her family live a truly stable and comfortable life.

Compared to her marriage to Gu Shiyin, she cared more about her path to immortality and the safety of her blood relatives.

"You are honest."

Just when Cui Ying thought that she and Gu Shiyin were destined to be apart in this life, she heard Liu Shi snort coldly, but her tone was not as harsh as before:

"I know it's impossible to stop a cultivator from hunting demons and fighting."

Cui Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Liu Shi continue:

"Therefore, my second condition is that you must make a vow to Heaven."

"After you marry my Shi Yin, no matter how far you go on your life's journey, please treat him well."

"Furthermore, during the lifetime of Shi Yin in my household, no one is allowed to take another concubine."

After saying the last sentence, the once arrogant and domineering Lady Liu now clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
