Dragon-Marked War God

Helian Changtian was determined in his heart. Right now, he absolutely would not let either the Ximen Family or the Dongfang Family get what they wanted. Helian Yue Er could only belong to their Helian Family!

As for the marriage alliance, never mind that Helian Yue Er could not marry two men at once. The rise of the Helian Family was in sight, and Helian Changtian naturally could not let the Helian Family’s hope be ruined in his hands. Even when the Family Head woke, it would probably be the same. He would never let Yue Er be married off. The Gate of Heaven’s Will only opened once in tens of millions of years, and only one person was qualified to enter it, and that was Yue Er.

At this moment, in front of the Heaven-Praying Hall, two figures as beautiful as a painting arrived quietly. Their long skirts fluttered, graceful and lithe, wreathed in an immortal aura, like goddesses of ten thousand ages.

“It’s Yue Er! Yue Er is here!”

Helian Zhangyang’s eyes lit up. As one of the two strongest geniuses of the Helian Family, he had also admired Yue Er for a long time. But Yue Er seemed untouched by the dust of the mortal world and treated everyone the same.

“Yue Er is simply too beautiful. She’s the goddess of my dreams.”

“Tch, someone like you, forget it. Even those two freaks Zhangyang and Fengchao can’t hope to match Yue Er’s talent. What right do you have to stand beside Yue Er?”

“Yeah. I wonder what kind of man would be worthy of standing beside Yue Er.”

“I think Rong Er is quite beautiful too. I don’t dare hope for Yue Er’s favor. Even if I could be with Rong Er, I’d be very happy.”

Many members of the Helian Family were discussing it. Marriage within the same clan was not impossible either. Beyond the five degrees of kinship, people could completely marry. Many coveted Yue Er. Who would not be moved by such a peerless genius, such a peerless goddess?

Compared with Yue Er, Helian Rong Er was still a step behind. Yue Er drew almost everyone’s eyes. Ximen Xiongkui and Dongfang Lianshuo’s gazes both landed on her, and they could not tear their eyes away for even a moment.

“Simply too beautiful. Such a woman should exist only in heaven. How many times can one see her in the human world? Hahaha! Helian Yue Er, I’m determined to have you!”

Dongfang Lianshuo narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering with a hint of covetousness. Who would not want to marry such a woman? Moreover, Helian Yue Er’s talent was now known far and wide. In just ten years, word of it had spread across almost the entire Eastern Victorious Divine Land. Helian Yue Er’s talent could be mentioned in the same breath as Dongfang Lianshuo and Ximen Xiongkui.

“Good, good, good! Miss Yue Er is as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, filling my heart with love and admiration. I’ve long heard that Miss Yue Er’s beauty is as startling as a swan in flight. Seeing you today, your reputation is truly well deserved. I, Ximen Xiongkui, was struck at first sight, as if seeing a goddess. In this life, I will marry no one but Miss Yue Er.”

Ximen Xiongkui said without the slightest concealment, full of admiration for Helian Yue Er, as if she were the moon surrounded by stars!

“What virtue or ability does Yue Er have to deserve everyone’s favor? Yue Er only wishes to cultivate in peace. My father is in danger. How can I talk about romance between men and women? Please, both of you, go back.”

Yue Er said indifferently. Instantly, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the whole Heaven-Praying Hall became extremely lively. The people of the Helian Family were all extremely happy. Helian Yue Er was the goddess in their hearts, and now the goddess had made her position clear that she absolutely would not be with them. This kind of polite refusal practically made Dongfang Lianshuo and Ximen Xiongkui lose all confidence, without leaving them any face. But the two of them did not look the least bit discouraged, because they were already prepared for a prolonged campaign. The Ximen Family and the Dongfang Family had always been like fire and water, but here in the Helian Family they were unusually calm, because they had the same goal.

“Miss Yue Er is so astonishingly beautiful that the whole world falls at her feet, and I am no exception. For Miss Yue Er, this young master is willing to go up to the nine heavens to pluck the moon and down to the depths of the five oceans, just to win Miss Yue Er’s heart.”

Dongfang Lianshuo said with a narrow-eyed smile, also without holding back. What he wanted to express was his admiration for Yue Er. Before Yue Er, it seemed any woman would pale in comparison.

“Miss Yue Er has already made her intentions clear. Please, two young masters, go back for now. Miss Yue Er is now wholly devoted to cultivation. Even though there is a marriage contract, everything must wait until our Family Head comes out of seclusion to be decided. I hope the two young masters will understand.”

Helian Changtian said indifferently, neither humble nor overbearing. Although these two great families were both mainstays of the Eastern Victorious Divine Land, at this moment he was completely fearless. The Helian Family’s Helian Yue Er was no worse than them either, and Helian Yue Er had already become an existence surrounded by admirers like the moon among the stars across the entire Eastern Victorious Divine Land.

Peerless talent, unrivalled beauty. Such a woman was destined to stand at the top of the pyramid.

“Hahaha, the Great Elder’s words have really shown me the Helian Family’s methods. Fine, today I, Dongfang Lianshuo, won’t argue with you. I only want to know how much longer it will take for the Helian Family Head to come out of seclusion.”

Dongfang Lianshuo pressed aggressively. He took a step forward, met the Great Elder’s eyes, and shouted in a deep voice.

The Great Elder’s face was grave. He pondered for a moment and said:

“Three months at the least, half a year at the most. The Family Head of our Helian Family will surely come out of seclusion. By then, I believe the Family Head will give Young Master Dongfang and Young Master Ximen a satisfactory answer. And our Yue Er is even less a piece of goods. I hope the two young masters will conduct themselves with dignity. Yue Er’s own wishes are what we value most.”

The Great Elder’s words convinced everyone. Neither Dongfang Lianshuo nor Ximen Xiongkui could find any fault with this result. At this point, all they could do was back off and silently wait for Family Head Helian to come out of seclusion.

“Fine, then I’ll wait for you. If Family Head Helian still can’t give me an answer in half a month, don’t blame me, Dongfang Lianshuo, for turning on you.”

Dongfang Lianshuo snorted coldly. At this moment, he did not say the Dongfang Family, but Dongfang Lianshuo. That was to let the Helian Family know that even without the Dongfang Family, he had another identity: a disciple of the Buddha Zhongsheng Hall. How strong was the Futu Pagoda? It stood at the very top of the whole Divine World. Even though the Buddha Zhongsheng Hall was only one of the Eight Buddhas, it was still not to be underestimated. The Buddha Zhongsheng Hall was not something the Helian Family could easily offend.

Dongfang Lianshuo’s words put the whole Helian Family in a precarious position and were almost unbearable. This was obviously coercion, and coercion using the prestige of the Futu Pagoda at that. But the Helian Family lacked confidence, and on top of that they were in the wrong. Even the Great Elder was left speechless.

The people of the Helian Family were filled with anger, but they did not dare to speak out.

“When the time comes, I, Helian Zhangyang, am willing to meet Brother Dongfang.”

Helian Zhangyang said in a deep voice, his gaze blazing, pointed straight at Dongfang Lianshuo.

“You? Heh heh heh, you’re still no match for me. I hope the Great Elder will remember today’s matter. I, Dongfang Lianshuo, will surely be back. Miss Yue Er, until we meet again.”

With that, Dongfang Lianshuo turned and left.
