A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Li Taibai and Wu Xueying

Meanwhile, in the Northern Region, Wu Xueying was busy managing affairs for the Wu Commerce Association. Although she was already a Quasi-Emperor level powerhouse, she still personally took charge of matters related to the Northern Branch of the Wu Commerce Association.

For some unknown reason, the typically serious Wu Xueying had appeared with a rare smile, not just once or twice, but akin to a lovesick young girl.

This surprised everyone at the Wu Commerce Association; after all, she was the Grand Aunt of the Wu Family. Which big shot had managed to win her over?

It wasn’t until a figure slowly walked in from outside, sporting a smile as warm as spring, and said, “Xueying, are you done with your work? If so, let’s go out for a date.”

“Sure, Brother Taibai, I just need to wrap things up before leaving.”

Wu Xueying’s face lit up with a bright smile when she saw Li Taibai.

Only after Wu Xueying left with Li Taibai did the people at the Wu Commerce Association react, and they couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Whoa, so this Grand Aunt from the Wu Family has been won over by the Holy Lord of the Green Lotus Holy Land?”

“That seems quite reasonable; after all, Li Taibai is handsome, talented, and doesn’t have a Dao Companion. It’s natural that Wu Xueying would be attracted to him.”

“However, I’m very curious whether the Wu Family would accept Li Taibai. The gap in status seems a bit large.”

“Hmm, I originally agreed with that, but thinking about your words now, it’s true. While the Green Lotus Holy Land is still a top force in the Xuantian Realm, it doesn’t quite match up to the Wu Family.”

“All we can do now is hope for Li Taibai’s good fortune.”

Meanwhile, Wu Hao had brought his wife, Su Qiaoran, to the Northern Region. Seeing Wu Hao’s darkened expression, Su Qiaoran cautiously asked, “Husband, what happened?”

She knew that if it weren’t something serious, Wu Hao would never show such a demeanor.

Wu Hao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, before finally speaking up.

“Someone has stolen my family, and that brat Li Taibai actually dares to pursue my granddaughter.”

Su Qiaoran naturally knew about Li Taibai. Although in the past he had seemed far beyond her reach, she now thought little of him. As for her only granddaughter, Su Qiaoran was well aware it was Wu Xueying.

Upon hearing that Li Taibai was actually going to become her grandson-in-law, Su Qiaoran felt a strange sensation; she never imagined that someone so powerful in the past would become her grandson-in-law.

“Husband, please calm down. I know you cherish Xueying, but she has grown up and will eventually find her own place. You can’t keep her by your side forever.”

“Let’s observe the situation first. If Li Taibai deceives our granddaughter, then we can take action later.”

Su Qiaoran restrained Wu Hao, who wanted to take immediate action against Li Taibai, and spoke. What if the two truly loved each other? Wouldn’t Wu Hao’s actions cause his granddaughter to hold a grudge for a lifetime?

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness, “If that brat dares to bully my granddaughter, I’ll send him straight to hell—no, I’ll make him wish he were never born!”

At that moment, Li Taibai, standing next to Wu Xueying, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Seeing this, Wu Xueying expressed her concern, “Brother Taibai, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine; I probably just feel too happy being by your side,” Li Taibai said, waving his hand and lifting his head high, suppressing the unease he had felt earlier.

For some reason, after leaving the Wu Commerce Association with Wu Xueying, he had a vague feeling that something bad was looming over him, as if something was watching him.

Regarding his relationship with Wu Xueying, Li Taibai swore he wasn’t pursuing her because of her status; instead, they met by chance. The appearance of Wu Xueying made the single Li Taibai, who had been alone for hundreds of thousands of years, feel his heart race. After realizing that he could marry no one but her, he began passionately pursuing her.

Previously, because of Wu Xueying’s identity, no one dared to pursue her for fear of being torn apart by the Wu family, making this the first time she was pursued.

The young girl became smitten in this way, and soon their identities were confirmed.

After confirming their relationship, Li Taibai immediately informed Wu Xueying of his identity. Wu Xueying wasn’t very surprised, since Li Taibai was at the Quasi-Emperor Peak, and there were only a few forces in the Xuantian Realm at that level. However, after establishing their relationship with Li Taibai, Wu Xueying began to feel a bit of a headache.

If her brother, father, and grandfather found out that she had a partner, who knows how they would make things difficult for Brother Taibai. As one of the very few females in the clan, all the affection of the Wu Family had concentrated on her since her birth. Including when they first arrived in the Northern Region, if it weren’t for her standing her ground, her family probably wouldn’t have agreed.

Even so, whenever she was in the Northern Region, they would come to visit her every ten years or so to check on her well-being.

“Brother Taibai, I’m thinking about how to introduce you to my family. You should know that if they find out about my relationship, they will likely go to great lengths to make things difficult for you.”

Soon, Wu Xueying and Li Taibai arrived at the dating venue Li Taibai had previously arranged. After sitting down, Wu Xueying hesitated but finally spoke up.

Hearing this, Li Taibai reached out and tightly held Wu Xueying’s hands, his gaze serious and his tone incredibly earnest as he said, “I’m not afraid. As long as it’s you, it’s worth me doing anything. Throughout my cultivation journey, countless people have entered my life, but none of them have ever moved my heart. Only you have made me certain that the person I want by my side in this life is exclusively you, and only you!”

Wu Xueying felt shy at Li Taibai’s sudden confession of love, turning her head away and shyly replied, “Brother Taibai, please don’t say that, it’s so cheesy!”

“No, this isn’t cheesy; it’s just my heartfelt truth,” Li Taibai said as he let go of her hands and spoke earnestly.

Wu Xueying took a deep breath and looked serious, as if she had made some decision. “Alright, since you’re ready, let’s plan for when I can introduce you to my family.”

“Sure, just say the word, and I’ll be ready to brave any challenges for you.”

“Okay, let’s walk this path together!”
