These words were earth-shattering, shocking everyone to the point that they were dumbstruck. Like wooden puppets, they stood there in a daze. D7%cF%D3%c4%B8%F3
Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched a few times. Then, his eyes widened as he stared at the Emperor Of Heaven. Seeing his serious expression, he really didn't seem to be joking. Only then did he know that the other party was serious.
But, are you kidding me?
Is this how you sell your daughter?
Although I'm very outstanding, you don't have to be in such a hurry to marry your daughter to me. No, you're asking me to marry into your family.
What era is this?
There's actually such a thing as marrying into your family.
If Tang Zheng liked someone, he would marry her officially. How could he marry into her family? Wouldn't that be a joke?
The Emperor Of Heaven didn't give him a chance to think. He looked at him aggressively, as if forcing him to agree immediately.
The Empyrean Fairy was dazed for a moment. She immediately understood her father's thoughts. The inheritance of the ancestors' Dao couldn't be passed on to outsiders. So, this was the only condition that Tang Zheng could fulfill.
However, marriage was as important as life for a woman. Fuxi had never thought that she would marry someone else.
She had lived for so many years and seen so many joys and sorrows. She had long since passed the age and state of mind of a little girl.
The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
The Emperor Of Heaven didn't even ask for his daughter's permission. In his opinion, although he loved his daughter, he had to make the decision on such a major matter.
He also believed in his judgment that Tang Zheng was the best choice.
What he didn't give to his daughter before, he was going to give it all to her now.
She opened her mouth and wanted to refuse, but when she saw her father's expression, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She had lived in modern society for so long, but many ideas were deeply ingrained in her bones. She was still no different from the ancient people.
This was the case regarding marriage.
Fang Shishi and Ye Dingdang looked at each other in dismay. They had no idea how things had turned out this way. Before the two of them could recover from the joy of Tang Zheng's words, they were so shocked by his words that half of their souls dissipated.
They were shocked. They looked left at Tang Zheng, right at the Emperor Of Heaven, not knowing what to do.
This was definitely enough bait. Very few people could resist this temptation. It was like reaching the heavens in a single step.
No matter how big the other families in the world were, could they be compared to the Emperor Of Heaven?
Of course not!
The Emperor Of Heaven's identity was too prominent, so much so that their self-confidence was shaken. [To read a book, please go to 520]
They encouraged and comforted each other with their eyes, silently believing that Tang Zheng would not abandon them.
This was a kind of absolute trust, mutual trust that could only be formed after going through trials and tribulations.
Tang Zheng did not disappoint them. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately retorted and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Senior, marriage is an important matter. How can you treat it so lightly?"
The Emperor Of Heaven did not understand Tang Zheng's thoughts and said, "It is precisely because marriage is an important matter that it is decided by the parents and spoken by the matchmaker."
Tang Zheng finally remembered that the other party had the mindset of an ancient person. He patiently explained, "My heart already belongs to someone else, so I can only accept your good intentions."
"Your heart belongs to someone else?" The Emperor Of Heaven frowned, clearly displeased.
Fang Shishi and Ye Dingdang became nervous. They did not know when, but the two of them had tightly grasped each other's hands. At this moment, the two of them shared the same fate.
"My Yao'er is so outstanding. Is there anyone else who can compare to her?" The Emperor Of Heaven questioned.
Tang Zheng was unmoved. He looked at the Empyrean Fairy and said, "She is indeed an outstanding one in ten thousand. Among the girls I have met, there is no one who is stronger than her. But when it comes to matters of the heart, it is important that both sides are in love. A melon that is forcefully picked is not sweet."
The Emperor Of Heaven automatically ignored the second half of Tang Zheng's words and casually said, "Since you also admit that she is outstanding, then all the more you should be together. There is no need for so many excuses. Moreover, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If you take my Yao'er as your wife and take other people as your concubines, I am an open-minded parent and will not object. "
Take a wife and concubines!
This word was like a bolt of lightning that struck everyone. This was a modern society, not an ancient society. How could there be such a custom?
Yan Liuyun looked at Tang Zheng with a smile that was not a smile. He thought to himself that if other people were to encounter such a good thing, they would have already eagerly agreed.
Three wives and four concubines, this was something that many men dreamed of.
Tang Zheng was not an ordinary man. Naturally, he would not agree to such a ridiculous proposal. He had feelings for several girls and it was not wrong to say that he was a romantic.
On the contrary, he was not a pervert. He did not want to sleep with every woman he met. That was not a human, but an animal.
The Empyrean Fairy had a prominent status and also had the Nine Yin Saint Body. However, he did not have feelings for the Empyrean Fairy, so it was impossible for them to be together.
This was the persistence and responsibility of a man.
He was together with other people because he had true feelings for them and was connected to their hearts.
He was very good at distinguishing between the relationships.
Tang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the endlessly pestering Emperor Of Heaven. He did not expect the dignified Emperor Of Heaven to be like this on this issue, which put him in a dilemma.
He did not hesitate and said straightforwardly, "Senior, I still have to say the same thing. I appreciate your kindness."
Seeing Tang Zheng refuse again and again, the Emperor Of Heaven's expression gradually became cold. His gaze toward Tang Zheng became somewhat unfriendly.
Tang Zheng straightened his chest without the slightest bit of fear or guilt as he faced the Heavenly Emperor.
Their eyes met and invisible auras collided in the air. No one was willing to give in to the other.
The Emperor Of Heaven had never met someone with such a stubborn temper. If he had thrown out this condition to others, they would have already scrambled for it.
Tang Zheng actually made all kinds of excuses. How preposterous.
The Emperor Of Heaven's heart was burning with anger.
Everyone could feel his anger.
The Empyrean Fairy's heart was filled with a bitter taste and even a trace of disappointment. She could not help but think of the scene when she saved Tang Zheng. Her lips pressed together and a trace of ripples appeared in her heart.
This kind of ripple had never appeared before. It made her feel a bit at a loss, a bit of resistance, and also a bit of liking.
Hearing Tang Zheng refuse without hesitation, that trace of ripple came to an abrupt end. All kinds of feelings welled up in her heart. She looked deeply at Tang Zheng and said to the Emperor Of Heaven, "Father, let's talk about this later."
She actually understood Tang Zheng's character quite well. Especially when Tang Zheng interacted with other women, she could see him more clearly.
He was a person who valued friendship and righteousness. He was not as emotional and cold as he appeared on the surface.
If she continued to force him, it would instead be counterproductive. She wanted to persuade her father, but in front of so many people, saying this would only make her father lose face and would only make the situation worse.
The Emperor Of Heaven did not understand his daughter's painstaking efforts and did not understand Tang Zheng's character. He insisted on his opinion and said, "There is no need to talk about later. We must talk about it now. Tang Zheng, you have already obtained the ancestor's dao inheritance. This matter is not up to you. "
Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior, you are twisting words and forcing logic. Why didn't you say it clearly before and only say it after the fact? Forgive me for not being able to comply."
"You must clearly think about what it means to refuse." The Emperor Of Heaven was furious.
Tang Zheng's expression did not change as he said, "I know. I do not regret it."
"Young man, you are still too young. Going against the Emperor Of Heaven will not do you any good. Moreover, the Empyrean Fairy is of great use to you. She has the Nine Yin Saint Body and you have the Nine Yang Saint Body. Don't you want to solve the problem of your Nine Yang Saint Body? Marrying her will only bring you benefits and no harm. "The Inner Demons suddenly persuaded.
There was no doubt that the Inner Demons' words were completely reasonable in terms of benefits.
However, Tang Zheng was not a person who only cared about benefits. If feelings could be exchanged for benefits, then what was the point of living?
He was not a cold-blooded animal, so he naturally would not agree to this.
"Thank you for your good intentions, but I will not compromise." Tang Zheng replied the Inner Demons.
The Inner Demons chuckled, "What a stubborn temper. However, you are very similar to me in the past. I actually found myself liking you a little."
In the past, who knew how many people from the Inner Demons had extended an olive branch to him, but he was alone in the world and did not bow to anyone.
It was precisely because of this that many people saw him as a thorn in their side and wanted to eliminate him from this world.
However, the Heart Demon was too powerful, and those people did not succeed in the end. Instead, they were led by the nose by the Heart Demon, and they were left in a sorry state.
Seeing that Tang Zheng was able to remain unyielding in the face of the Inner Demons, the Inner Demons felt a bit of admiration for him.
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Who is like you? We are not the same kind of people."
"Is that so? I feel that if you continue like this, you will definitely become like me. You will become a thorn in the side of all the powers. When the time comes, you will be hunted down. Hahaha." The Inner Demons mocked.
"Do you think everyone is like you? I am not a loner like you. So what if I am hunted down? Why would I be afraid? "
After a pause, Tang Zheng expressed his thoughts. "What is the point of cultivating if you can't do as you wish after cultivating your entire life? My goal is to not lower my head, to follow my heart, and to live a carefree life. "
"What a carefree life!" The Inner Demons praised loudly. "If there is wine, I will definitely drink with you."
The Inner Demons' praise came from the bottom of his heart. Tang Zheng could hear it and couldn't help but smile.
However, his smile disappeared when he saw the Emperor Of Heaven's gloomy expression.
The Emperor Of Heaven looked at this stubborn fellow. If it were anyone else, he would have long since attacked them with a storm. However, Tang Zheng's identity was not ordinary and he had inherited Fuxi's will. This made him feel somewhat helpless.
Their gazes met in midair, neither of them willing to lower their heads.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward and even a bit stifling.
Ye Dingdang and Fang Shishi held each other's hands, their palms sweating. They were both gratified by Tang Zheng's decision and lamented that they had not chosen the wrong person. However, they were also worried about Tang Zheng's risky choice.
What if the Emperor Of Heaven wanted to deal with Tang Zheng?
He'd just obtained the Fuxi Dao Insight and hadn't even had the time to be happy when he'd encountered this problem. The ups and downs of life were truly like a roller coaster that shook one's soul and stimulated one's nerves.
