Shen Youling spoke coldly.
"What the heck? Trying for a baby? When did I say I wanted to do that? Why are you so fond of making your own decisions?" Lin Tang glanced at her sideways.
"The space is cleared out. Whether you want to try for a baby is up to you. That's it. I'm tired. Don't say another word."
Shen Youling lay down as well, turning her back to him.
"I'm going to talk anyway! Shen Youling is a big dummy! Shen Youling is a little piggy! Shen You—"
"Get out!"
「Late at night.」
In his dream, Lin Tang and Lee Encai were chatting wildly.
"Haha, since the First Wife has given the green light, wouldn't I be wasting a golden opportunity if I don't get pregnant with the legitimate son?" Lee Encai said with a giggle.
"What era is this? Still talking about legitimate sons..." Lin Tang shook his head.
Lee Encai's eyes darted. "So, are you going to take my previous suggestion?"
"What suggestion?"
"Stop playing dumb! I'm talking about your wedding with the princess. Send and Shen Youling an invitation! If you won't give a wedding, can't I at least attend yours as a guest?"
"It's not impossible if you want to join the fun. But Youling can't go. She's seen Princess Mulu once in real life..." Lin Tang recounted how Jiang Mulu had recklessly run up to Shen Youling and declared she was going to snatch him away to be her husband. "If she goes and sees what Mulu really looks like, it'll blow our cover."
"So what if it does..."
"Wouldn't that ruin the fun?"
After the two discussed it, their plan was set.
「The next day.」
The invitations actually arrived!
Just then, Li Weihai and Pei Huixian happened to co over, hoping to spend more ti with Lee Encai. To their shock, the person delivering the invitations was none other than Jiangbei's Chief, Yin Changjian.
"Oh my God!"
"Chief Yin, you... why did you co in person?" Li Weihai and his wife were flattered and astounded.
What kind of invitation was this that would make Yin Changjian willing to act as a ssenger? They opened it and saw it was for the wedding of State Preceptor Long and the Princess...
The couple was dazed, looking at their daughter with even greater shock. They never imagined that Encai's joke from yesterday would actually co true today!
Shen Youling was also astonished. Even though Tianxiang Doukou had beco a corporate behemoth, her boss, Zhu Yingning, still wouldn't qualify to attend as a guest, let alone her, the CEO. Why could Lee Encai go? But the most unbelievable thing was that Lin Tang was also on the guest list!
Compared to Lin Tang, I've had far more interactions with State Preceptor Long, right? If anyone was going to be invited, it should have been , not him... Could it be because Long Tianji once publicly said he wanted to marry ? Did he think it would be awkward in front of his new wife, the princess, so he deliberately didn't invite ?
Shen Youling was utterly baffled.
"Lin Tang, and my dear niece Encai, you two are the only guests from our Jiangbei attending this wedding! You represent Jiangbei's honor, and you are the pride of Jiangbei!" Yin Changjian spoke earnestly, his words laced with emotion.
Of course, he was also incredibly envious, as he couldn't even go himself. He subtly hinted that if they managed to speak with State Preceptor Long, they might find a chance to ntion his na. Yin Changjian patted Lin Tang on the shoulder and departed reluctantly.
Lin Tang leaned toward Lee Encai's ear and said in a voice just loud enough to be overheard, "Setting other things aside, Chief Yin is quite daring. Even Xiao Xuanye and Guo Jufeng are too afraid to touch , worried about being poisoned, but he doesn't seem to fear it at all."
CLANG!
Yin Changjian, who had just reached the door, walked headfirst into the doorfra. His attention had been so focused on the invitation that he had completely forgotten that this kid, Lin Tang, was a walking vessel of poison!
Why did I have to be so careless and pat him? I hope I don't actually get poisoned, especially not with that diarrhea-inducing kind that afflicted Xiao Xuanye. That would be too socially disastrous.
Sohow, the news that Lin Tang and Lee Encai had miraculously received invitations to State Preceptor Long's wedding spread like wildfire. Everyone in Jiangbei's upper echelons knew!
They were fully aware that Lin Tang's poisons were terrifying and that he was not soone to be trifled with. Yet, so couldn't resist the temptation and ca to visit one after another, nearly wearing down the doorstep. A few made generous offers, expressing their willingness to pay any price, asking only that Lin Tang transfer his invitation to them.
Lin Tang was confused. What? Is it really necessary to be this dramatic? It's just attending a wedding. Anyone who didn't know better might think Long Tianji was adopting a godson.
However, these people saw things differently. This was the War God! A god among n, on a level so far beyond the Heavenly Kings that it was incomparable. If he were still just a Heavenly King, people would try to curry favor if they could, but let it go if they couldn't. But he had beco the War God. Even if they couldn't get close to him, just basking in a "god's" aura would be incredible! What if, by so stroke of dumb luck, he rembered their face or na? That could be a life-changing opportunity...
Across the nation, and even across the globe, who wouldn't want an invitation to State Preceptor Long's wedding banquet? They would fight tooth and nail for one!
But everyone was smart. Anyone personally invited by State Preceptor Long likely had so connection to him. To kill such a guest and steal their invitation to attend in their place was tantamount to suicide.
Thus, while countless people coveted the invitations, not a single one dared to make a move. Everything remained calm and peaceful.
「Volcano.」
「Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance.」
Jiang Mulu's nose was red, and she kept a large stack of tissues at the ready—she was allergic to the sll of sulfur here. The constant sneezing and runny nose were seriously affecting her image. Nevertheless, she refused to leave, striving to overco the physical discomfort.
"The wedding is tomorrow, so why is State Preceptor Long still in seclusion? Will he really be able to co out tomorrow?" Jiang Mulu felt a rising anxiety, worried she would be stood up again.
I had originally guessed that Brother Lin might co in his real body to marry . But then I heard he sent an invitation to his real body... What kind of twisted sense of humor is that? Since his real body will be there as a guest, the one going through the ceremony can only be his law body.
"Don't worry, Uncle Long is a man of his word. Since he made a promise, he won't go back on it," Wei Zichu said, comforting her with a smile.
"Mhm, I believe in him too!" Jiang Mulu nodded vigorously.
The two walked hand in hand, looking for all the world like intimate best friends, though it was hard to tell if it was genuine or just an act.
Inside the magma, Lin Tang's law body hung suspended, allowing the blazing flas to pass through his body, inside and out. His injuries had completely healed, and he had simultaneously broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage. His every movent now contained incredible power.
Before him, his personal flying sword and the Asura Sword were overlapping. But every so often they would drift apart, forcing him to imdiately push them back together again. As the Asura Sword gradually lted and was absorbed by the flying sword, it let out a mournful wail, as if it had finally given up completely.
A faint smile touched the lips of Lin Tang's law body as he changed the spell. "rge!"
Just as he was on the verge of success, sothing happened. Suddenly, the incarnation of the Blood Ancestor from Langhuan Holy Land burst forth from the Asura Sword. Clad in a bright red cloak, its body was composed entirely of blood-red liquid, its hollow features shifting and changing.
"You think my sacred sword is so easily consud? You've been fooled, junior!" the Blood Ancestor sneered.
With lightning speed, it lunged viciously at Lin Tang's law body.
However, the concept of National Fate was a mystical thing. Even though the dal was with Lin Tang's real body, his law body was still under its protection. Moreover, a law body has no soul and thus inherently fears no possession.
Therefore, Lin Tang's law body didn't even bat an eye at the Blood Ancestor's surprise attack. He was just about to channel his True Qi to annihilate it!
But right at that mont, the unexpected happened...
