Seeing that Ye Xuan was almost done eating, Xue Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Nephew, now that Qingqing's engagement has been canceled and the betrothal gifts have been returned, then you …"
"What us?"
Ye Xuan raised his head.
"Your marriage …" Xue Hai smiled.
If it was any other time, Xue Qingqing would definitely jump out to object. However, this time, she was surprisingly silent and just ate in silence.
"Uncle, I'm only here to help." Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly.
"Nephew, since you've already helped, why don't you accept her? I think you two are quite compatible." Xue Hai raised his eyebrows at Ye Xuan.
"Uncle, this isn't …"
Before Ye Xuan could finish, Xue Hai pretended to cry and said, "Sigh, I knew it. Nephew, you must be disgusted by the stench of money."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was helpless. He was already in his twenties. Was he supposed to marry a fourteen-year-old loli?
After all, fourteen-year-old was still underage!
At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve. When he turned his head, he saw Xue Qingqing leaning over and whispering, "Hurry up and agree to my father. If you want to help, then help until the end. What if the City Lord comes again?"
"The matter has already been resolved. What's the point of helping?"
"Then agree first. Moreover, I still have a lot of dowry. You can take it first and return it to me when you become stronger." Xue Qingqing whispered.
"What the f * ck, this girl can't have really fallen for me, right?" Ye Xuan was shocked. He'd already encountered several annulments of marriage recently.
Once for Lin Xue 'er, once for Xue Qingqing. If he agreed to Xue Qingqing, then he would have to cancel another engagement in the future.
However, Xue Qingqing said a very tempting condition.
Dowry!
"How much dowry do you have?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.
Seeing that Ye Xuan had taken the bait, Xue Qingqing hurriedly extended a slender hand.
"Five million?" Ye Xuan whispered.
"No, it's fifty million!" Xue Qingqing corrected.
What?
Fifty million?
When he heard this number, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up.
Fifty million taels of silver was enough for him to break through to the eighth stage of the martial path!
"As long as you agree, I will give you the dowry first. For now, you should become stronger and return it to me in the future." Xue Qingqing whispered again.
Ye Xuan had already fallen into the trap of money. If he went to the Shattering Cloud Sect as a mid-stage Eighth Stage Martial Path, he would definitely shock everyone.
"Alright." Ye Xuan nodded.
He immediately agreed to Xue Hai's proposal.
Seeing that Ye Xuan had agreed, Xue Hai was pleasantly surprised. He immediately ordered that the engagement would be held tomorrow.
Ye Xuan was also scared half to death. Xue Hai really wanted to marry Xue Qing Qing off, but if things didn't work out, he wouldn't be able to get the dowry.
…
The Zhang Family had just broken off the engagement and the news hadn't spread yet. The Xue Residence was already holding a wedding. This was a slap to Zhang Lie's face.
However, Xue Hai had already sent the fifty million taels of betrothal gifts back to the Castellan Residence. Furthermore, Zhang Lie wasn't sure of Ye Xuan's identity, so he couldn't do anything.
The next day, Ye Xuan directly set the engagement with Xue Qingqing. As for the betrothal gifts, they were Ye Xuan's martial arts.
This betrothal gift wasn't cheap. No one knew how to use the Frost Fist, Chaotic Star Arrow, Exploding Star Arrow. If they were auctioned, they could be sold for at least ten million taels of silver.
Now, Ye Xuan had directly become the son-in-law of the Xue Residence.
Ye Xuan wasn't sure either. If his father, Ye Chong, found out about this, would his butt be beaten to a pulp?
"Son-in-law, those martial arts of yours have all been sold. Here is fifty million taels of silver."
On the night of the engagement, Xue Hai sent over a large pile of treasures. These were all bought by Ye Xuan after he sold the martial arts.
Thousand Gold City was a big city and there were many wealthy families in it. Once the martial arts were taken out, they were immediately snatched up. After all, these were martial arts that had never appeared before. Furthermore, they were even better than martial arts of the same level.
At this moment, in Ye Xuan's house.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Fifty million taels of treasures. In addition to Qingqing's dowry, that's a hundred million taels of silver. This is a hundred Devour Points!"
Ye Xuan couldn't stop smiling as he hurriedly devoured all the items. However, what made him surprised was that the fifty million taels of silver was still not enough for him to break through.
"The system is too stingy. Fifty million taels of silver isn't enough for me to break through from the peak of the Seventh Rank to the Eighth Rank?"
Ye Xuan was helpless. Fortunately, he still obtained fifty Devour Points. This was because he had specially instructed him to choose something that was worth one million or two million taels. Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Ye Xuan opened the door and saw Xue Qingqing walking in alone with a large box.
"What is this?" Ye Xuan asked in astonishment.
Xue Qingqing placed the large box at the door and wiped her fragrant sweat. "My dowry is five hundred thousand taels of gold, so I went out and spent all the money."
One tael of gold was equivalent to one hundred taels of silver. Five hundred thousand taels of gold was equivalent to fifty million taels of silver.
"Hehe, it's been hard on you." Ye Xuan's eyes lit up as he hurriedly carried the box into the room.
"Devour successful!"
"Ding, the host has broken through to the early stage of the Eighth Rank!"
Ye Xuan didn't even open it and directly devoured the entire box. Then, he broke through to the Eighth Rank of the Martial Path.
"It's finally here. Damn it, the price is too high. One hundred million taels of silver is enough to create several Eighth Rank martial artists." Ye Xuan helplessly shook his head. Now that he had broken through to a new realm, the things he needed were probably calculated in hundreds of millions.
However, he was calm. As long as he entered the Shattering Cloud Sect, would he be afraid of not having enough money?
"Did you break through?" Xue Qingqing sat on the bed and asked.
"I broke through to the Eighth Rank of the Martial Path." Ye Xuan nodded.
Xue Qingqing looked at him with a face of worship. "I'm so envious. With your physique, as long as you have good things, you can break through without limit."
"Of course, I'm Ye Xuan." Ye Xuan also grinned. He turned his head and said, "Now that you've solved this matter, are you still going to the Shattering Cloud Sect?"
"Oh, I don't like to cultivate. Previously, I was preparing to go to the Shattering Cloud Sect to escape the marriage, so I'll forget about it." Xue Qingqing shook her head and said, "However, you are now my fiancé. When you go to the Shattering Cloud Sect, you have to restrain yourself. Otherwise, I won't forgive you."
