Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

The night breeze on Buzhou Mountain carried a slight chill, but the atmosphere inside the venue was incredibly lively.

Zhu Rong, quite drunk, was pulling Tongtian Jiaozhu aside to spar, insisting that his fire was faster than Tongtian's sword. Tongtian, not to be outdone, grabbed a chopstick as a sword and began sparring with Zhu Rong, the clinking of the chopsticks scattering empty wine jars all around.

Lin Xuan sat at the stone table, fanning himself with a folding fan, looking quite content.

But sitting opposite him were three female immortals.

Yunxiao remained dignified, though her cheeks were slightly flushed, indicating that she had also drunk a few glasses of the specially brewed fruit wine.

As for Qiongxiao and Bixiao, those two girls had long since let themselves go.

"Brother-in-law! Let me toast you!"

Bixiao, carrying a bowl bigger than her face, came over excitedly, "You're so interesting! Much more fun than my master! And your cooking is so delicious! I'm following you from now on!"

He called him "brother-in-law" so naturally.

Yunxiao almost spat out the mouthful of wine he had just drunk, and quickly kicked Bixiao under the table.

"Bixiao! Stop talking nonsense! Call me senior!"

"Oh dear, why did you kick me?" Bixiao rubbed her leg, looking aggrieved. "I don't think Brother Lin Xuan was angry. Besides, we've been eating and staying here for free for several days now, what's wrong with calling him 'close'?"

Qiongxiao, peeling peanuts beside her, chimed in with her own words: "That's right, big sister. I think Brother Lin Xuan is a really nice guy, handsome, and incredibly skilled. Besides... doesn't our Jie Sect believe in doing whatever you want? I've noticed that the way you've been looking at Brother Lin Xuan these past few days has been a bit off."

Yunxiao's face turned bright red instantly, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

Those two brats! They're pushing their own sister into a fire pit!

Lin Xuan was overjoyed to see the three sisters interacting.

That assist was fantastic!

I must give each of these two girls a big red envelope later!

He put down his folding fan and sighed deeply, feigning seriousness.

"Sister Bixiao, you can't say such things carelessly. What virtue or ability do I, Lin Xuan, possess to be worthy of a celestial being like Fairy Yunxiao?"

This is called retreating to advance.

As expected, Bixiao was displeased upon hearing this.

"How can you say we're not a good match? I think we're a perfect match! Look, you're one of the Thirteen Ancestral Witches, and my sister is the chief disciple of the Intercepting Sect. We're a perfect match! You know formations, and so does my sister. We share the same goals! Most importantly..."

Bixiao let out a hiccup, "My sister loves the food you make!"

This logic is impeccable.

Lin Xuan shook his head with a wry smile, poured himself a glass of wine, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if he were lost in some kind of memory.

"Actually... over the years, I have thought about finding a partner again."

His voice was deep and tinged with a sense of vicissitude, "But, once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; once you've seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison. This primordial world may be vast, and there may be many female immortals, but there are very few who can truly understand what I'm thinking and with whom I can have a meaningful conversation."

At this point, he slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the wine glass and landing directly on Yunxiao's face.

That look in his eyes was so deep and affectionate, as if it contained a thousand unspoken words.

"unless……"

Lin Xuan paused, his voice softening, "Unless one is like Fairy Yunxiao, possessing both great wisdom and a delicate heart, able to see through the illusions of this world and understand the suffering of all living beings."

The entire room fell silent.

Even Zhu Rong and Tong Tian, ​​who were fighting over there, stopped.

Zhu Rong raised her fist, blinked, and whispered to Tongtian, "Is this kid... confessing his feelings?"

Tongtian let out a drunken hiccup and nodded with a silly grin: "Seems so. That's a pretty strong word, I need to learn it too, and then I'll talk to Nuwa about it... Oh wait, Nuwa seems to be his too."

Yunxiao sat there, feeling all the blood rushing to her face.

Lin Xuan's words struck her heart like a hammer blow.

You understand me.

These two words were incredibly impactful for a top student who spent years studying in solitude.

She looked into Lin Xuan's deep eyes, which reflected the starry sky and her own panicked reflection. Suddenly, she felt that if she could truly be with this person, even facing this chaotic and desolate world wouldn't seem so terrible.

"Formerly...Brother Lin Xuan..."

Yunxiao lowered her head, her voice barely audible, "Yunxiao... is not as good as you say."

This "Big Brother" marked a complete change in how he addressed me.

No longer a distant senior, but an older brother with a touch of intimacy and shyness.

Lin Xuan was incredibly pleased.

Steady!

This wave is stable!

He was just about to strike while the iron was hot and grab a little hand or something.

Suddenly, a loud snore broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

"Snoring—snoring—"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was lying on the ground asleep, and he even turned over and put his feet on Zhu Rong's stomach.

Startled awake by the noise, Yunxiao stood up like a frightened rabbit.

"Um... it's getting late, and Master is drunk. I... I'll go take care of Master."

After saying that, she ran away as if fleeing.

After running a few steps, she stopped and looked back at Lin Xuan.

In that glance, there was a hint of shyness and timidity, like ripples on water.

"Um... will there still be a formation lesson tomorrow?"

Lin Xuan smiled broadly: "Speak! You absolutely must speak! I'll speak all night long!"

Watching Yunxiao's departing figure, Lin Xuan felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

[Ding! Yunxiao's affection level +20. Current affection level: 80 (Not quite lovers).]

"Hehe, with a little more effort, I'll be able to win the heart of my beauty."

Lin Xuan picked up his wine glass with a satisfied smile, just about to take a sip.

Suddenly, an extremely ominous premonition surged into his heart. This wasn't directed at him personally, but at… the Pangu Palace!
