Chapter 2151
The lovers, who had waited for three hundred years, completely forgot about the thousands of eyes watching them. They rushed towards each other and embraced tightly.
Lu Xueqi wrapped her arms around Chen Xuan's neck, her fair, porcelain-like cheeks gently rubbing against his shoulder, her tears silently soaking his black clothes, as if she wanted to knead three hundred years of longing into this embrace.
Chen Xuan held her slender waist, the familiar cool fragrance lingering around his nose—three hundred years had passed, yet the scent remained unchanged.
"Cough, cough cough—"
This intimate scene was actually staged in front of all the elders and elite disciples of the Yao Guang clan. The Holy Lord of Yao Guang's face turned pale and then red, while Jue Wuqing was suppressing a laugh, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Finally, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang coughed a few times and spoke up to remind him.
Chen Xuan and Lu Xueqi then realized their rudeness and hurriedly separated, their cheeks flushed red.
"Disciple greets Master, Xueqi greets the Ruthless Immortal King!" Lu Xueqi straightened her skirt, bowed respectfully, her voice still tinged with a sob.
"Hmm." Jue Wuqing nodded in response. He had already investigated Lu Xueqi's background and was extremely satisfied with this marriage.
"Xueqi, let me ask you something," the Holy Master of Yaoguang said solemnly, "Are you willing to become Chen Xuan's Daoist partner?"
"This disciple is willing! I hope Master will grant my request!" Lu Xueqi nodded firmly without the slightest hesitation, her eyes filled with determination.
A hint of reluctance and melancholy flashed in the eyes of the Holy Lord Yaoguang. In the end, he sighed and nodded in agreement: "Since you are willing, I will naturally not stop you. From now on, you two can freely enter and leave the two holy lands, and no one will dare to stop you."
"Thank you so much, Master!" Lu Xueqi cried tears of joy.
Chen Xuan also bowed and said sincerely, "Thank you for your kindness, senior."
Just then, a discordant voice suddenly arose from the crowd—those Yao Guang disciples who had long admired Lu Xueqi could no longer contain themselves: "Our sect's first Holy Maiden, the Holy Master's personal disciple, is marrying out. Chen Xuan, do you intend to come empty-handed and leave laden with spoils?"
"That's right! Senior Sister Xueqi is now the Holy Lord's personal disciple. Chen Xuan, you haven't even shown any appreciation. That's far too disrespectful!"
"Senior Sister Xueqi has just rebuilt her foundation and her cultivation period is still short. Finding a cultivation partner is a matter of great importance. I hope Senior Sister will think it over carefully!"
……
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and tiny ice shards condensed at her fingertips. Just as she was about to lash out, Chen Xuan stopped her with a look.
If Chen Xuan hadn't stopped her, even in front of so many elders, Lu Xueqi would have retorted in public, "What's it to you?!"
Seeing that the two Immortal Kings and elders in the hall remained silent, and the Enforcement Elder only frowned symbolically, Chen Xuan laughed and took a step forward:
"Do you all think that I, Chen Xuan, cannot afford a betrothal gift?"
He raised his eyes and swept them across the crowd, his tone suddenly turning arrogant, "I—the number one ranked player in the Holy Land Ranking Battle, who single-handedly manipulated the geniuses of the Ten Great Realms and myriad races, how could I marry my Daoist partner empty-handed?"
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, these Yao Guang disciples would never have believed that these words came from Chen Xuan's mouth—just now he was a respectful "good boy" in front of the Immortal King, how could he be so arrogant and disdainful of his peers?
"Arrogant! Chen Xuan, do you dare to fight me right now!?"
"What are you so arrogant about in the main hall of the Yao Guang Holy Land?"
"Chen Xuan, if you keep acting tough, I'll make you fly!"
……
Clearly, those who shouted were second- or third-generation disciples who were not qualified to participate in the Holy Land Ranking Battle. As for Su Qingci, Lu Jinxiao, Mo Xingyan, and others who had witnessed Chen Xuan's cruel methods, they were already terrified and dared not even breathe loudly.
The high-ranking officials on both sides remained silent, and the law enforcement elder merely gave a light shout of "Stop being presumptuous," symbolically suppressing the situation.
In fact, the higher-ups are happy to see disciples of the same level competing with each other and vying for strength – only by refusing to admit defeat can they work harder to improve their strength.
Chen Xuan chuckled and shook his head, then looked up at the Holy Lord Yao Guang in the main seat of the hall, and with a flick of his wrist, said, "This is the betrothal gift that I, Chen Xuan, have brought. I hope it will meet your approval, senior."
