My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 410 is over; someone beat me to it!

In a corner of the hospital, Mi Hongzhi was conducting a thorough search, looking for any possible special passages, when suddenly the phone on her waist rang.

"You old geezer, why are you calling me?"

Mi Yuanbei's voice came from the other end of the phone: "You brat, can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Hmph, just say what you have to say. I'm busy investigating a case right now, and I'm not in the mood to argue with you."

Are you in the hospital right now?

Mi Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, then raised her voice and said, "You're spying on me?!"

"Heh, do we still need to monitor him? Ever since Li Wei was seriously injured, you've been taking care of him in the hospital every day. Do you know what people outside are saying?"

"what?"

"If I tell you you've already slept with that guy, are you ever going to get married?!"

Mi Hongzhi laughed and said nonchalantly, "I never wanted to get married in the first place. If those guys want to gossip, let them say what they want."

Mi Yuanbei sighed, "Gossip is a fearsome thing! After all, you are the only bloodline of our Mi family's main branch in this generation, and the sixth-generation granddaughter of the Environmental Protection True Lord. How can your reputation be ruined so easily?"

"So I think it's time to go to the hospital and talk to that kid Li Wei about the engagement!"

In fact, according to Mi Yuanbei's own wishes, he still wanted Li Wei to marry into the Mi family, but he was scolded by the Environmental Protection True Lord!
Once Li Wei becomes the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, you should abandon this idea and humble yourself to discuss marriage with him! Do you know how many gods now want to form a marriage alliance with Li Wei?

I won't go into details about his sweeping victories over the officials of the Selection Department, capturing the Confucian family, participating in the battle between good and evil, and defeating the second incarnation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
That brat actually dared to investigate Wuzhuang Temple?

They even overturned the ginseng fruit tree, killing Zhen Yuanzi!
Such terrifying combat power, such terrifying temperament, and such terrifying achievements!! — He is absolutely destined to climb to a high position in the Heavenly Court in the future, yet he is still single and does not have the background of a divine bloodline family!
How could the gods in Heaven not be tempted?
So environmental protection is truly admirable!
[At this rate of growth! In a few decades, even I might need to beg for his favor. How dare you let him marry into your family?]

[Did you know that dozens of gods have come to me subtly inquiring about marriage proposals lately? There are even some powerful families I can't afford to offend who are discussing marriage plans with me. I've even heard that Emperor Gouchen is considering sending someone to contact Li Wei!]

[If this precious son-in-law gets snatched away, you'll see what I do to you!]

Mi Yuanbei quickly realized that she was wronged.

Actually, when Li Wei became the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, he had thought about discussing the marriage with this kid, but Li Wei was busy going to Tianlang City to rescue people at the time, so he didn't urge him.

Who knew that they would encounter a series of events, such as the independence of the Elysium Demon Land.

Not to mention that Li Wei himself was too busy to take care of himself.
Even Xinhai City, the ancestral home of the Mi family, was invaded by the demons, and Mi Yuanbei had no choice but to focus his energy on the family and move to Zhongzhou City with his entire family.

Later, Li Wei also arrived in Zhongzhou City, and the two sides could have talked earlier.

But Mi Yuanbei thought that he could settle the family down in a month. Anyway, Li Wei had just taken office and it would only take at least a month for him to get used to the job, so it wouldn't delay anything.

But who could have imagined that Li Wei could accomplish so many great things in such a short time, attracting the covetousness of countless gods?

"The various families haven't yet figured out Li Wei's preferences or found a suitable candidate. Our Mi family must finalize the marriage agreement with Li Wei as soon as possible!"

That's why Mi Yuanbei called that brat to ask her about the engagement.

Upon hearing the word "marriage," Mi Hongzhi was taken aback, and her face immediately turned red: "Such an important matter should be decided by our parents, but I'm afraid Li Wei might not agree."

Mi Yuanbei's eyes widened immediately: "He dares!!"

"Now that your affair has reached the heavens, if he doesn't take responsibility, how will the Ancestor have the face to remain a god?"

"So before we came, His Majesty specifically said that if that brat dared to disagree, He would personally come down and break his legs!"

Mi Hongzhi's face lit up with joy: "Then where are you now?"

"At the hospital entrance!"

Mi Yuanbei couldn't wait any longer, so he arrived at the hospital entrance long ago.

When Mi Hongzhi rushed out and saw the scene of gongs and drums outside, she was immediately shocked and embarrassed: "Dad! Even if it's about discussing a marriage agreement, is such a grand affair really necessary?"

At this moment, outside the hospital gate, not only were there hundreds of people making a big fuss, but also hundreds more carrying all sorts of treasures and gifts. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Mi family was the one who was coming to propose marriage.

My brat, now you know to call me Dad?

Mi Yuanbei scoffed: "What do you know! To deal with someone like Li Wei who's so sentimental, you have to make a big show of it. That way, he'll be caught in a dilemma. Besides, we also need to take this opportunity to intimidate our other competitors and stop them from messing with Li Wei!"

Mi Hongzhi sensed something was wrong. Knowing Li Wei as she did, she knew this would only backfire, so she quickly advised, "You old fool! Li Wei hates being threatened the most, so please don't do this."

After thinking it over carefully, Mi Yuanbei realized that his daughter and that guy had been together day and night, so she really understood him best. Besides, he had already achieved his goal, so he quickly told everyone to disperse.

"Then let's leave it at that. Now all I have to do is wait for Li Wei's agreement, and I'll be able to put my mind at ease."

So the Mi family father and daughter went to Li Wei's ward, only to see three true gods waiting outside, each holding a silver dragon. "Waaah, sister! My dear sister! Why haven't you come out after more than an hour!"

A crunch!
The ward door opened.

Unsteady on her feet, Ao Zi slowly emerged, tidying her dragon scales. Her fair and delicate face was flushed pink, making her look almost...
Ao Huan's eyes widened suddenly, and the dragon collapsed to the ground as if its tendons had been pulled out, unwilling to accept the reality.

"Sis, are you alright?"

"Inspector Li is so kind to me, how could anything happen to me?"

Pity?!

Upon hearing those two words, not only Ao Huan, but even Mi Hongzhi couldn't help but clench her hands and grit her teeth, asking, "What did you just do in Li Wei's hospital room?"

Ao Zi raised an eyebrow, sensing the presence of a rival, and deliberately said, "I've done everything I should and shouldn't have done. In short, I'm now under Inspector Li Wei's command, and we'll be getting married soon!"

Mi Yuanbei couldn't sit still any longer: "Miss!! You can't just say things like that. Li Wei is our Mi family's son-in-law. There has to be a proper order to things, right?"

"Oh? Your Mi family's son-in-law? Does he have a marriage contract?"

"We're here today to sign!"

"Hehehe, you're too late. His Majesty Shanghao has just personally bestowed this marriage upon us. Even if she marries into the family, she'll have to call me 'elder sister' first."

As Ao Zi spoke, she took out the electronic marriage decree personally issued by Shang Hao.

Ao Huan felt as if he had been hit on the head with a heavy hammer. His eyes rolled back and he fainted from anger.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor's seal on it, Mi Hongzhi gritted her teeth, turned around, and left without looking back. Mi Yuanbei's face turned ashen, and he never mentioned the engagement again. He sent someone with gifts to return home and reported the matter to the Environmental Protection True Lord.

Even a dignified true god couldn't help but jump up and down in anger: [Damn the Dragon Clan!! Damn the Ao Family! You bastards dared to steal my thunder! I'm going to throw garbage in your East Sea and make you all get that Immortal Plastic Disease, you bastards!!!]

After his anger subsided, Mi Tianxing felt something was wrong again.

Hasn't His Majesty always favored loyal ministers? Why would He bestow a marriage upon Li Wei?

And it was a marriage arranged for a dragon?
You must know that Li Wei is not just an ordinary confidant, but someone who holds the key to the Holy Path Reform and is an important pawn in the hands of the Supreme Emperor Haotian. Isn't He afraid that his pawn will be kidnapped by the Dragon Clan?

Mi Tianxing couldn't figure it out, but he didn't know where the problem lay. Finally, he inexplicably recalled something, so he made a special trip to Nantianmen.

[Lord Giant Spirit God, is it your turn to be on duty today?]

【I've been on duty for the past few days, what's wrong?】

Has a dragon god come up here in the last few days?

[Haha! Old Mi, your perception is truly sharp! That's right, the Jing River Dragon King made a special trip here a few days ago to report on his duties, and even visited His Majesty at the Lingxiao Palace. Is there anything wrong with that?]

No, no, I was just suddenly curious. Now that my question is answered, I won't bother you any longer while you're on duty.

After Mi Tianxing turned around, his expression gradually became serious.

He just met the Dragon King of the Jing River a few days ago, and now he's suddenly bestowing a marriage upon Li Wei?
It seems His Majesty is plotting something again; this marriage agreement might be subject to change!

A day later, the news that Li Wei was to be engaged to Ao Zi, the Dragon Maiden of the East Sea Dragon Palace, swept across the entire Three Realms like a storm, instantly attracting the attention of both the righteous and demonic paths.

The gods in the Heavenly Court, in particular, instantly became tense.

[Shang Hao's confidant has formed a union with a dragon? Is the dragon clan about to side with His Majesty?]

[It shouldn't be that serious. The Dragon Clan enjoys a high degree of autonomy; why would they interfere in the power struggles within the Heavenly Court?]

[That's right! The Dragon Clan's current scale of development has reached its limit. Even if they win, the Heavenly Court will not lift the restrictions on the Dragon Clan. If they lose, they will suffer even greater calamity! It seems like it's all harm and no benefit.]

[Heh, don't forget His Majesty's personality! If He goes berserk, won't He really lift the restrictions on the dragon race?]

Upon hearing this, the gods fell silent.

Is His Majesty about to cause trouble again?

[Hmph! I think the Dragon Clan is restless too. It's already version 7.19, and these guys still act like they're the overlords of the primordial world. Their intentions are despicable.]

The dragons have been wronged!

We are merely secretly integrating the Dragon God's Way and the Pure Yang Way to prepare for the creation of the "Qianlong Nuclear Weapon." What gives you the right to doubt the Dragon Clan's loyalty?

This is blatant racism!
However, after careful consideration, the dragon gods suddenly realized, perhaps, maybe, could it be... that His Majesty really wants to help them rebel?
