Many children, many blessings; my family helped me win over the ultimate fairy.

Phoenix Mountain, under the phoenix tree.

White flames leaped in the void, radiating a holy and powerful aura.

In the center of the flames, a stunningly beautiful figure sat cross-legged.

She wore a seven-colored feather robe, possessed an unparalleled beauty, yet her demeanor was as cold as ice. She was none other than Feng Ling'er, the current goddess of the Phoenix royal family.

"Goddess, something terrible has happened!"

A maid rushed in in a panic, interrupting Feng Ling'er's cultivation.

Feng Ling'er slowly opened her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly: "What's the matter that has caused such a panic?"

"The Jiang family, the Jiang family has come to propose marriage!"

"A marriage proposal?" Feng Ling'er asked indifferently. "That's a matter for our elders. What does it have to do with me?"

"But...but they've come to propose marriage on your behalf!" the maid exclaimed urgently. "The Jiang family patriarch and the Third Elder are here; they're in the council hall right now!"

Feng Ling'er's face instantly turned cold.

"The Jiang family? Which Jiang family?"

"Which Jiang family could it be? Of course, it's the Jiang family of Emperor Hengyu, the number one imperial family of the human race!"

"Are they insane?" Feng Ling'er suddenly stood up, her flames surging violently around her. "A bunch of humans, do they even dare to propose marriage to my Phoenix Royal Family?"

The maidservant said tremblingly, "I heard they've come to propose marriage for their imperial son, Jiang Yuan."

"Jiang Yuan?" Feng Ling'er sneered, "That good-for-nothing who can't even cultivate?"

Of course she had heard of Jiang Yuan's name.

Jiang, the son of the Great Emperor, is a born mortal and a useless person who cannot cultivate.

This matter is not a secret in the entire Immortal Emperor World.

"A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve to marry me!"

A flash of anger crossed Feng Ling'er's eyes.

She was exceptionally gifted from a young age, possessing the Phoenix Rebirth Divine Body, and was hailed as a genius that the Phoenix royal family rarely saw in ten thousand years.

Countless geniuses from the ancient races have tried to curry favor with her, but she has coldly rejected them all.

In her eyes, cultivation is the only true path, and romantic love is nothing but a stumbling block on the path of cultivation.

She never even paid attention to the Holy Body.

She believed that with her own talent, she was capable of becoming an emperor, or even surpassing an emperor!

"Goddess, where are you going?" The maid asked hurriedly when she saw Feng Ling'er walking out.

"The council chamber."

Feng Ling'er's voice was icy cold, "How could a mere mortal good-for-nothing who relies on his family be worthy of me?"

Feng Ling'er strode out of the secret chamber, a seven-colored divine light shooting into the sky behind her.

She wanted to refuse them face-to-face, letting the Jiang family know that she, Feng Ling'er, wouldn't rely on anyone!

……

……

Ancient Divine Mountain, Council Hall.

This grand hall is thousands of feet in circumference, cast from ancient divine stone, and its walls are covered with ancient runes, exuding the aura of time.

At this moment, the hall was packed with people.

At the very top, in the three main seats, sat the patriarch of the Phoenix Royal Family, the patriarch of the Golden Lion Clan, and the patriarch of the God Clan, respectively.

Below, the patriarchs or elders of the ten royal families were all present.

The fact that the three major royal families and the ten royal families could all show up at the same time demonstrates the scale of the Jiang family's operation this time.

In the center of the main hall, Jiang Zhan and Jiang Shouzhuo stood side by side, exuding composure.

"Patriarch Jiang, you just said you came to propose marriage for your son?" The Phoenix Ancestor sat in the main seat, his expression not very pleasant.

Jiang Zhan smiled slightly: "Exactly."

"Heh." The chieftain of the Golden Lion Clan couldn't help but chuckle, then pretended to cough to cover it up.

The father of Shenlin, the patriarch of the Divine Clan, also had a faint smile on his lips.

They were all waiting to see the Phoenix Ancestor make a fool of himself.

The Phoenix Ancestor took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm: "Patriarch Jiang, it's not that I'm disrespecting you, it's just... I'm afraid I'm trying to climb the social ladder by associating with the Jiang family."

This was said very politely, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

It's your good-for-nothing imperial son who's unworthy of my goddess.

Jiang Shouzhu frowned, about to lash out, but was stopped by Jiang Zhan raising his hand.

"Senior Feng, you misunderstand," Jiang Zhan said with a smile. "Although Yuan'er has a special constitution, he..."

"Special physique?" The patriarch of the First King Clan couldn't help but interject. "Patriarch Jiang, stop deceiving yourself. Born with a mortal body, unable to cultivate—who in the entire Emperor Immortal Great World doesn't know this? Even if your Jiang family has a deep foundation, you couldn't possibly let a mortal marry the goddess of my Primordial Divine Mountain, could you?"

"Yes, what benefits would such a marriage alliance bring to our ancient races?"

"Although the Jiang family is powerful, they cannot bully others!"

The patriarchs or deputy patriarchs of the ten royal families, especially those siding with the Phoenix Royal Family, spoke up one after another, their tone filled with dissatisfaction.

Jiang Zhan's expression remained unchanged, and he was about to continue speaking.

boom!

The doors to the main hall were suddenly pushed open.

A beam of seven-colored divine light rushed in, transforming into an exquisitely beautiful figure.

It was none other than the Phoenix Goddess, Feng Ling'er.

"Ling'er? What brings you here?" The Phoenix Ancestor's expression changed.

Feng Ling'er ignored the ancestor and fixed her gaze directly on Jiang Zhan, her voice icy: "You are the head of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Zhan looked at the goddess before him and nodded: "Indeed."

"Very well." Feng Ling'er sneered, "I heard you're here to propose marriage for your good-for-nothing?"

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent instantly.

No one expected that the Phoenix Goddess would dare to directly insult Jiang Yuan in front of Jiang Zhan.

Jiang Shouzhuo's face darkened, and he was about to lash out.

Jiang Zhan's smile turned serious.

"Goddess, you are mistaken. Although Yuan'er has a special constitution, but..."

"Clan Chief Jiang," Feng Ling'er interrupted him, her tone haughty.

"I, Feng Ling'er, have only one goal in this life: to cultivate and become an Emperor. Romantic love is nothing but a stumbling block on the path of cultivation. Even if your Jiang family is powerful, and even if Jiang Yuan isn't a good-for-nothing, I will never marry him!"

"Besides..." A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, "What right does a mortal who can't even cultivate have to marry me?"

"I, Feng Ling'er, would rather die than marry a good-for-nothing!"

Her voice echoed throughout the hall, each word resounding.

The Phoenix Ancestor's face turned ashen. He was about to reprimand her, but then he stopped.

Although Feng Ling'er's words were harsh, they did express what he was thinking.

The Golden Lion Clan and the God Clan were even more gloating.

"Well said!" The Golden Lion Clan Chief clapped his hands and laughed. "The Phoenix Goddess truly has backbone!"

The chieftain of the gods nodded in agreement: "Truly worthy of being the pearl of our ancient myriad races."

The two exchanged a glance and began to fan the flames.

They were just hoping the Jiang family would fly into a rage and start a fight, so that the Phoenix Royal Family would suffer a loss.

They didn't believe that a single member of the Phoenix Royal Family could stand against the Jiang Family, the Imperial Family.

However, after hearing these words, Jiang Zhan finally realized where the problem lay. Instead of getting angry, he smiled.

How can someone with a score of only 85, who was immediately eliminated by Jiang Yuan, have such confidence?

"It seems I haven't made myself clear. My visit is not for the Phoenix Goddess. Yuan'er's proposed marriage is to someone else."

"As for you, you are far from qualified to be a match for my clan's imperial son."

His voice was calm, but his gaze toward the Phoenix Goddess was filled with disdain and coldness.
