Immortal Clan: Starting from Managing a Blessed Land.

Chapter 90 Return to the Family, Wedding Night (3k)

After the harvest, Shang Ting and his companions quickly cleaned up their traces and left the inheritance cave that was about to collapse.

When I came out of the flame channel again, I saw that the black fog outside had gradually disappeared.

Obviously, the inheritance was taken away, and the formation that maintained the operation of the cave began to be damaged.

"call"

The two quickly returned to the desert and looked back at the cliff with complicated expressions.

I was so excited that I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Summoning the spirit beast bag and mounting the black rhinoceros, Shangguan Li looked at Shang Ting with a smile in his eyes and said:
"Brother Ting, the matter is settled. I will go to pay respect to my parents and then go home to get married."

Shang Ting felt the affection in her eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement.

Along the way, the relationship between him and Shangguan Li had already reached its best point, and it was only natural for them to get married.

After leaving the Western Desert area of ​​Xia State, it took the two of them a full half month to get back to the capital of Xia State.

Shang Ting thought that her parents were still unjustly accused, so she and Shangguan Li went directly to the palace and gave orders to the Emperor of Daxia.

The old emperor had been executed by the immortal monks because he was found to be plotting to become an immortal.

The new emperor was his fourth son, who was in his forties.

Shang Ting made the situation clear. When the new emperor heard that the orphan girl of the Shangguan family had now become a monk with an extraordinary future, he was so frightened that he drafted an edict overnight.

The next day, the Shangguan family, who had been wronged for fifteen years and no one cared about them, was rehabilitated.

However, before the next day, Shangguan Li took Shang Ting back to the Shangguan family mansion that night.

The two saw that the vermilion gate had long lost its former glory, and the lonely copper ring on the door was covered with verdigris.

Shangguan Li took Shang Ting's hand, pushed open the door and stepped into the yard.

A sense of decay was overwhelming.

The prosperity of the past has been buried in the dust of time. The houses that were once decorated with carved beams and painted rafters now appear mottled and desolate due to the erosion of time.

Stepping into the courtyard, the gaps between the stone paths were filled with messy weeds, swaying gently in the breeze, as if sighing about the rise and fall of the family.

Exquisite carvings can still be seen on the surrounding corridors, but the delicate lines are also filled with traces of time.

Under the eaves of the main house, a broken red lantern was hanging, swaying slightly in the wind.

Although the rockery in the center of the yard still stands, the moss on the stone has spread, covering the rockery with a thick layer of green.

The water in the pond had long since dried up, leaving only cracked soil.

The blooming lotus flowers and playful fishes of that year have become phantoms in memories.

"Everything in this mansion has changed."

Shangguan Li stroked these things gently, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Every inch of land and every corner here carries the joy of her childhood and the warmth of her family.

And now, there is not even a tombstone left for our parents and relatives from that time.

Shang Ting looked at the dilapidated scene in front of him and felt a sense of regret:
"Its rise was sudden, and its fall was sudden"

He seemed to be able to see the prosperity of the Shangguan family in the past, and could also feel the grief of Shangguan's unjust death.

This is the case for mortal families, but isn’t it also the case for the immortal world?
If a business loses its foundation, it will decline overnight.

Since there was no grave, Shangguan Li found some rotten wood and clothes in the mansion and rebuilt it as a cenotaph.

The heads of the traitors Guan Yinlin, Guan Yan and Guan Lie were placed in front of the grave to comfort the spirits of his parents and relatives in heaven.

Shangguan Li had a complicated expression and offered incense gently:

"Father, mother, now that the treacherous prime minister has been killed by my own hands, the injustice of the family has finally been redressed. You can rest in peace in your grave."

The pleasure of revenge and the remembrance of the deceased were intertwined, lingering in her heart for a long time, and she could not calm down.

This quiet house witnessed the rise and fall of a family.

It also witnessed the end of a cause and effect, and a new beginning.

The wedding with Shangguan Li was arranged by my uncle Shang Yangde the day after I returned to Huangyan Mountains.

The sky is full of colorful clouds.

The breeze blows by, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, refreshing the heart.

The mansion was decorated with lights and red silk fluttering.

The courtyard was filled with banquets, the guests were laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was warm.

There is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Shangguan Li was wearing a scarlet phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head. Her face was rosy and her eyes were full of happiness and shyness.

She stood there quietly, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Her face is like a fine jade, her skin is whiter than snow, her lips are red without any makeup, and she seems to have a thousand words to say but cannot.

When she stood there, she was the most eye-catching thing in the surrounding world. Her peerless beauty and graceful temperament were unforgettable.

Shang Ting was dressed in wedding clothes, looking handsome and elegant. He held her hand with a loving look in his eyes.

The two walked into the ceremony hall amid the blessings of everyone.

The auditorium was decorated in a solemn and festive manner, with flickering red candles and interweaving lights and shadows.

At night, it’s a moonlit night in the bridal chamber.

Both of them closed their eyes and panted.

Shang Ting was still not satisfied and was savoring the wonderful feeling of flying side by side at that moment.

Under her fluffy hair, Li'er's pretty face was flushed, she was biting her thin lips, her eyes were tightly closed, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly. Her fair and delicate skin was covered with tiny beads of sweat. She was extremely excited and exhausted, lying in Shang Ting's arms.

Shang Ting held her soft and fragrant body in his arms, turned his head to look out the window, and it was already dawn.

Before I knew it, time had passed from midnight to now.

Looking at the deep fatigue on Li'er's beautiful face, Shang Ting felt infinite pity in his heart.

Shangguan Li suddenly opened her misty eyes, was slightly startled, and then said softly:
"Husband, do you know that I have extraordinary luck?"

The breath of his words was as sweet as musk and orchid, fragrant and pleasant, blowing into the ears and making people feel numb and tingling, making it difficult to control themselves.

But Shang Ting felt a chill on his back when he heard this, "Madam, why do you say that?"

"When I was eight years old, a Taoist priest once said that I was a red phoenix sent from heaven."

"He also said that the Shangguan family would prosper because of me, but would also perish because of me. Later, it really came true."

"And you said that you married me because of my beauty, but you have never asked me for anything in the past eleven years. You have devoted yourself to cultivation and devoted yourself to the Tao. How could you be a person who covets beauty?"

Shangguan Li smiled faintly.

Shang Ting was stunned. It was the first time he saw Li'er like this.

It's different from the naivety when they first met, and it's also different from the cold-blooded killing when they seek revenge.

Her eyes were like a deep ancient well, without any ripples in them, revealing a calmness that saw through everything.

Shangguan Li stretched out her jade-white arms and hugged Shang Ting's neck.

She held out two green fingers with a faint smile and said:

"You lied to me twice. The first time was about your reason for marrying me, and the second time was about the old patriarch's life span."

"I know, I've always known."

"But you never lied to me about the most important things. You taught me how to practice and avenged me."

"When I first entered the business world, I thought that after you avenged me, I would follow the agreement and spend the rest of my life as a young wife. But after spending eleven years together, I've probably fallen in love with you."

After saying that, she opened her red lips and kissed Shang Ting hard.

Only then did Shang Ting realize it deeply.

The Li'er in front of me is not a vase doll, but a simple girl.

Her family was destroyed, and she bore a deep hatred for her life. She fled alone from Daxia to Daliang after several years.

Although he experienced many hardships due to the tragedy of his family, he always held the belief of revenge and was determined to take revenge.

How could one trust others so easily? How could one not be smart and resilient?
Back then, under the Yan Yang Sect, he pretended to be the young Mu Ai from the family. Wasn't she also pretending to be an ignorant girl who had never experienced the world?

Shang Ting sneered in his heart:

"And Li'er has great luck. She will at least achieve Golden Core in the future. With such talent, my mindset is wrong. I was a Golden Core in the past, and Li'er will be a Golden Core in the future. How can I regard her as a mere luck vase?"

Shangguan Li kissed for a long time before she was willing to separate.

Shang Ting looked at the stunning beauty in front of him and said with a smile, "Have you changed your mind?"

Shangguan Li's eyebrows were as dark as distant black, gently stretched, as if hiding endless thoughts, and murmured:
"I used to be obsessed with revenge, but I never thought about how to live my life after getting my revenge."

"Once, revenge was my only motivation to survive and become stronger, but now that this goal has been achieved, I feel an unprecedented emptiness."

"The day I came out of Master Huoyu's cave, I began to think about the rest of my life and why I was living."

Shang Ting asked with a smile:
"So, it seems that you have figured it out now, Li'er? What is it?"

Shangguan Li nodded, staring closely at Shang Ting, and said very seriously:

"When I was worshipping at my parents' grave, I realized that I wanted to pursue the pinnacle of cultivation!"

When these words came out, Shang Ting was shocked.

Shangguan Li gently stroked Shang Ting's handsome face with her jade hand and said in a deep voice:
"Whether in the mortal world or in the world of immortal cultivation, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only absolute power can protect you and me, my husband."

"When I was eight years old, that Taoist told me the fate of my family. Now, thanks to you, my husband, I have finally gotten my revenge."

"But what if the same thing happens again?"

"If one day the business is destroyed and you die, will I have to rely on marrying someone to seek revenge?"

"Of course not! I don't want to have such an experience again!"

Shangguan Li said this, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.

Thinking back to what my family had gone through and those days when we were powerless to resist, I realized deeply the importance of strength.

When I was an orphan, I watched my family destroyed but could do nothing.

But now, as a cultivator, he can directly break into the palace and give orders to the emperor!
She deeply felt the power of this practice, so how could she not devote herself to it, break through her own limits, and pursue a higher realm?

After hearing this confession, Shang Ting was filled with emotion.

The hardships this little girl experienced were not in vain, nor did her strong will be worn away under the protection of her family.

"Okay, madam."

Shang Ting promised.

Shangguan Li's eyes were bright, and she leaned forward, suddenly smiling:
"Husband, you have been obsessed with cultivation for the past eleven years and have never opened my door in the middle of the night. However, I have been craving you for a long time."

Another half an hour later.

After a cry like a nightingale's cry, Shangguan Li lay down exhausted and said slowly:
"That Taoist also said that because I am Hongluan, the master of marriage, my husband will be like an emperor in the future, with countless noble wives and concubines. My husband, the woman you marry in the future cannot have a higher status than me, and before you marry her, you are not allowed to do that!"

"Okay, madam."
