If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

After finishing these matters, Zong Ze glanced at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon. He had no desire to return to the library, so he turned and headed out of the academy. Since he still had time, he decided to visit the Divine Machine Camp, as he hadn't been there for several days!

Everything in the Shenji Battalion remains in good order. The 50,000 soldiers have completed the basic training of special forces, and now they have begun to prepare for high-altitude parachute training!

Naturally, this was also Zong Ze's doing. He brought the parachute from Earth to the Holy Word Continent. Although he had never made a parachute before, he had at least seen how it worked. After proposing the principle of the parachute and making a small parachute from memory, the eyes of several battalion commanders lit up!

In the days that followed, the battalion commanders and some soldiers began to study the manufacture of parachutes repeatedly. Hard work pays off, and after a month of repeated experiments, they actually managed to make a parachute!

After inspecting the troops, it was already evening, so Zong Ze headed back home. Strangely, although the Zong family members were still awake at this time, the place was relatively quiet. But tonight, before he even got close to the Zong residence, Zong Ze heard a noisy commotion!

When Zong Ze arrived at the entrance of the Zong Mansion, he found that the entire mansion was brightly lit, and he could see people coming and going inside. The servants and guards all had happy faces on their faces!

Upon seeing Zong Ze, the guards at the gate saluted, while another guard ran into the Zong residence shouting, "Young Master is back! Young Master is back!"

The guard who had finished saluting greeted Zong Ze with a bright smile and said, "Congratulations, General!"

"What's the good news?" Zong Ze asked curiously.

"Hehe!" the soldier laughed. "General, you'll know once you go in. I wouldn't dare say anything more, or the old marshal and the general won't forgive me!"

Completely bewildered, Zong Ze stepped through the gate and immediately spotted several magnificent and elegant carriages in the courtyard of the Zong residence. The striking hexagonal ice crystal patterns on the carriages made Zong Ze finally understand why the Zong residence was so lively today!

People from the Jade Kingdom have arrived, and judging from the jade flower next to the icicle pattern on the carriage, it seems that the people who have come to the Zongfu this time are members of the Jade Kingdom's royal family!

Suddenly, a cheerful and bright voice rang out in the hall. It was Zong Kuang, the father. Zong Kuang's words made Zong Ze's heart pound: "Haha, you little rascal, you still know how to come home? Come on over and meet your wife!"

"My wife?" Zong Ze was dumbfounded: "Brother, when did I get a wife?"

"What are you standing there for?" Zong Kuang waved from the entrance of the hall: "Come in quickly!"

"Oh!" Originally, Zong was unwilling to attend this kind of banquet. In his opinion, rather than wasting time on banquets with young masters and scheming young ladies, it would be better to do something meaningful, such as reading books, studying history, or even cultivating.

But this time, when Zongze heard his father say that he had suddenly had a wife, he couldn't help but become a little interested.

To be honest, Zong Ze wasn't really that fond of women. In his previous life, as the son of the Prince of Pingnan, what kind of women hadn't he seen? But back then, he was engrossed in cultivation and didn't even know that his father's attempt to usurp the throne had failed. How could he have any interest in women?

After that, Zong Ze lived for more than 500 years as a wandering immortal, and saw all kinds of women. Unfortunately, by then he was already a wandering immortal and had no physical body, so naturally he had no women!

In this life, the woman he had the most contact with was Princess Hanli. To be honest, Zongze had some feelings for Princess Hanli, but whenever he thought that Hanli was an imperial princess and might even become the empress of the empire, Zongze would subconsciously avoid her.

Now that his father said he had a wife, and considering the carriage in the garden, Zong Ze could easily guess that his family had probably found him a wife in the Duchy of Jade, and that this wife's status was probably not low, and that she had come to meet him for a blind date!

Following his father's summons, Zong Ze stepped into the hall. In that instant, the previously noisy hall fell silent. Clearly, Zong Ze was the protagonist of the evening, and with the protagonist arriving, everyone naturally had to show him respect! Especially since those present were all nobles!

However, this silence lasted only a moment. A few seconds later, a hearty voice rang out with laughter: "Haha, I say, barbarian, is this little fellow your son Zongze? Hmm, not bad, not bad. He has delicate features and exudes the elegance of a nobleman. He's much better than you, barbarian!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Zong Kuang. Judging from his clothes, this middle-aged man was a nobleman of the Jade Kingdom, and even a member of the royal family!

"Damn it!" Zong Kuang retorted without any politeness, "Don't you know whose son he is? My son is both scholarly and martial, and he's much better than you, you pretty boy. If it weren't for how much I like your daughter, I wouldn't have agreed to be related to you by marriage!"

From their tone, Zong Ze realized that the royal family of the Jade Kingdom was his father-in-law, and that this person seemed to have a very close relationship with his father!

While he was pondering, his father-in-law suddenly pulled a girl out from behind him. She appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old. In the Holy Word Continent, fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls were already fully grown up, and Zong Ze was momentarily stunned when he saw her!

Zong Ze had seen quite a few women in his two lifetimes, but when he first saw this girl, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words. All the positive terms he knew for praising women, such as "the moon hides its face in shame," "fish sink and geese fall from the sky," "a beauty that could topple a country," and "a woman who could bring ruin to the nation," were insufficient to describe the girl in front of him!

After a long pause, Zong Ze murmured softly to himself, "Hands like tender shoots, skin like solidified cream, neck like a cicada's, teeth like melon seeds, a beautiful forehead and arched eyebrows, a charming smile, beautiful eyes that could topple a city with one glance, and a nation with a second. How can one word describe such beauty?"

Although Zong Ze spoke softly, the little girl opposite him heard him perfectly. Her eyes lit up as if she had seen something new and interesting!

"Alright, kid!" the father-in-law said, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. You've got my beautiful daughter by your side. You young people can chat it over. We old folks are just here to play matchmaker. Whether it works out or not is up to you!"
