A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Recognition from Family

“Why would a Great Emperor take an interest in Xueying!”

Li Taibai’s heart was in immense pain. He didn’t understand why, after meeting Wu Xueying, his previously unmoved heart began to beat again. He swore that he would marry no one but Wu Xueying in this life, and ultimately, he got his wish and was with her.

However, he never expected that shortly after being together with Wu Xueying, a Great Emperor from the Xuantian Realm would suddenly appear, claiming to be interested in Wu Xueying, demanding Li Taibai to give her up; otherwise, he threatened to destroy the Green Lotus Holy Land.

Upon learning this, the Elders of the Green Lotus Holy Land began to pressure him to hand over Wu Xueying, warning that they would strip him of his position as Holy Lord. Even others from the Xuantian Realm insisted he give up Wu Xueying.

In that moment, Li Taibai felt as though he were at war with the entire world. Yet, despite this, he refused to compromise. Xueying was his woman, his one true love; even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would never allow anything to happen to her.

Just then, Xueying came to Li Taibai’s side and looked at his exhausted expression, saying, “Husband, why don’t you just hand me over? I don’t want to see you like this.”

“Fool, this is something a man should deal with. I am your man, and I will absolutely not let you face this alone,” Li Taibai forced a smile and reached out to gently stroke Wu Xueying’s hair.

Then, Li Taibai steeled himself. Even if it meant sacrificing himself, he would never allow Wu Xueying to suffer. So, after Wu Xueying fell into a deep sleep, his expression turned resolute as he gently kissed her goodbye and set off with the Green Lotus Sword towards the direction of that Great Emperor.

That Great Emperor, after emerging, had taken residence in the Central Region, and all Li Taibai could do was find him and confront him. He was willing to self-destruct, even risk mutual destruction if necessary!

“Interesting, you actually came knocking on my door. Are you prepared to offer your wife up?”

When the Great Emperor saw Li Taibai’s arrival, he was momentarily surprised, but soon a smile crept across his face, clearly feeling in control of the situation.

What he didn’t expect was that in the next moment, Li Taibai suddenly attacked, directly urging the Green Lotus Sword towards the Great Emperor.

A visible panic appeared on the Great Emperor’s face.

“How dare you! I am a Great Emperor, and even in the Initial Stage, I am not someone at your measly Quasi-Emperor Peak can match!”

Li Taibai’s expression turned cold as he scoffed and replied.

“How dare you covet my wife? No matter if you are a Great Emperor or a Mortal World Immortal, I will dare to wield my sword against you. In any case, prepare to die!”

With that, Li Taibai engaged in a fierce battle with the Great Emperor at the Initial Stage. Because Li Taibai had resolved to fight to the death, his techniques were reckless and desperate.

Though his injuries were worsening, the damage the Great Emperor sustained was also severe; Li Taibai couldn’t injure him, but the Imperial Weapon could.

“Damn it, Fellow Daoist, let’s put an end to this. I will no longer covet your wife, how about that?”

Li Taibai remained unmoved by the other’s plea for mercy. He could not leave even the slightest threat to his wife, not even a tiny bit!

Hence, the other’s fate could only be death.

“Damn it, even if you kill me, you won’t have it easy!”

With gritted teeth, the Great Emperor became increasingly ruthless in his attack, and soon Li Taibai felt he was on the verge of collapse.

With a resolute bite of his teeth, he directly controlled the Imperial Weapon to attack, and as he did, an aura far surpassing that of the Great Emperor erupted from the weapon, shocking the Great Emperor’s expression.

“What? You actually dare to self-destruct the Imperial Weapon!”

Not only Great Emperors could self-destruct; Imperial Weapons could do the same, and their power was not inferior to that of a Great Emperor’s self-destruction. The only drawback was that even the weapon’s owner risked serious injury or even death.

But Li Taibai was prepared, and even if it meant death and disappointment for the Green Lotus Holy Land, he could never betray Wu Xueying!

“From the day you coveted my wife, you should have been prepared for this! Die!”

After Li Taibai said this, he directly commanded the Green Lotus Sword to self-destruct. The terrifying force instantly obliterated the Great Emperor, while Li Taibai, as the weapon’s owner, was not much better off; half of his body was blown to pieces, and he felt extremely weak.

At that moment, he vaguely saw Wu Xueying rushing toward him while crying out, but Li Taibai lost control and could only close his heavy eyes.

Xueying, I will never be able to love you in this lifetime. In the next life, in the lives after that, I will continue to protect you, through all ages.

“This guy is really in trouble.”

Wu Hao watched this scene and let out a helpless sigh.

The good news was that Li Taibai truly loved his granddaughter, to the extent that he was willing to sacrifice his life for her.

The bad news was that he had passed all the tests, and it would be a bit unreasonable to continue making things difficult for him.

Sighing, Wu Hao exited Li Taibai’s illusion.

Li Taibai had gained Wu Hao’s approval and was set to become a son-in-law of the Wu Family.

Not long after Wu Hao left Li Taibai’s illusion, Li Taibai also woke up from the dream, feeling his heart. For some reason, he had an odd sense that something had happened, but he could not recall what it was.

Deciding to stop thinking about it, he focused on the most important matter: proposing to the Wu Family in fifteen days.

On the other side, after seeing Wu Hao return, Wu Rulong and the others eagerly approached him, their faces filled with excitement.

“Father/Grandfather, what happened? Did you find out that Li Taibai is only after the Wu Family’s power and doesn’t truly love Xueying?”

“Alright, let’s end this matter here. Li Taibai has passed my test, and I can be sure he genuinely loves Xueying, even to the extent of being willing to sacrifice his life for her.”

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s words, Wu Rulong and the others froze in place, disbelief written across their faces.

No, Grandfather, aren’t you on the same side as us? We wanted to fight to the death; why have you given in first?

When Wu Qiankun and Wu Xuanyuan were about to say something, they were stopped by Wu Rulong.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Rulong looked at Wu Hao with an extremely serious expression and said, “Father, are you sure about this?”

“Yes, I am certain. Li Taibai is indeed the perfect match for Xueying.”

Wu Hao nodded, his tone filled with conviction.

Hearing this, Wu Rulong could only sigh and nod in agreement.

He naturally understood his father’s character, known for his decisiveness. Now that his father had made a determination, it meant that Li Taibai was a good person. He only hoped his daughter wouldn’t suffer any grievances at his hands; otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate to let the entire Green Lotus Holy Land witness the anger of the Wu Family.

The last force to experience the Wu Family’s wrath was the Li Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Li Taibai was completely unaware that he had unwittingly earned the approval of Wu Xueying’s family.

At this moment, Li Taibai was still thinking about how much he should prepare for his proposal to the Wu Family.
