Chapter 100 Engagement Ceremony, Visitors from the Ji Family

Chai Xin looked serious, staring at Yan Ruyu with burning eyes, and the slight uneasiness in his heart suddenly disappeared completely.

No matter how beautiful Yan Ruyu is, no matter how many benefits she represents, that is only external.

He really doesn't need to use marriage to seek a future. If it succeeds, it's just icing on the cake. If the two are really not destined to be together, he can still reach the top on his own.

Although a protector is important, if you rely on him too much and lose your confidence and courage, you will not go far.

After figuring this out, Chai Xin's state of mind improved a step further and his temperament became even more noble.

Yan Ruyu watched helplessly as the other person suddenly became a different person. He was a little reserved at first, but now he seemed to be detached from the world and seemed to be floating up to the sky. She was shocked in her heart.

The two of them didn't say much to each other, so how could their moods change?
Surprise flashed in her bright eyes, and for the first time, she felt an emotion she had never felt before towards a man - curiosity.

"It doesn't really matter if two people are attracted to each other or not. As long as they don't hate each other and have the same ideals, they will eventually develop feelings after spending dozens or hundreds of years together... Besides, even if they are happy at first, if they have different ideals and ideals, how many years can they stay together?"

Yan Ruyu opened her red lips and spoke with profound words, which were very different from her otherworldly appearance.

Chai Xin suddenly felt like he had found a bosom friend, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, what you said is very true. There is a similar saying in my hometown, called 'Three Views in Harmony'."

"I've heard that Western Desert Buddhism has the saying 'One Mind, Three Views'. Could it be that you are from Western Desert?"

A look of interest flashed across Yan Ruyu's flawless face. She waved her hand, took out a square table and two cushions, and invited Chai Xin to sit down.

Chai Xin was not polite, he sat down cross-legged, smiled and shook his head: "Not really. The so-called 'three views' are 'world view', 'life view', 'value view'..."

The two talked for a long time, and Yan Ruyu mostly listened, occasionally asking a few questions, but always getting to the point. Chai Xin carefully elaborated on many new and novel ideas and viewpoints on Earth, and before they knew it, the sun was setting.

"After hearing you talk so much about your hometown, I can't help but feel fascinated." Yan Ruyu smiled, and unknowingly, she had become a lot more real and lively than when they first met.

Chai Xin looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "One day, there will definitely be a chance."

"After saying so much, you still don't know where your hometown is?" Yan Ruyu suddenly asked.

Chai Xin slowly shook his head and sighed: "Fate has brought us to this point, and we still don't know where to go back to. We can only hope for the future..."

He never mentioned the specific situation on the other side of the starry sky, but only talked about some opinions and systems that were different from those in the Eastern Wilderness.

"Why is Your Highness willing to date me?" Finally, Chai Xin asked the question in his heart.

After all, the other party is the descendant of the Demon Emperor. Logically, he should find a descendant of a demon giant to marry. This will be more beneficial for both his offspring and bloodline, as well as his own development.

In comparison, although Chai Xin is "notorious", he is only a true disciple of Wanchu Holy Land on the surface, so the two sides cannot be said to be well matched.

Yan Ruyu was slightly startled. She had never expected him to be so direct. She then smiled and asked back, "Then why are you willing to date me?"

"Your Highness is extremely graceful, and this alone is enough to attract all men in the world. Moreover, the power represented by Your Highness and the Demon Emperor's sacred weapon are coveted by countless people."

Chai Xin had a serene smile and spoke in a calm and natural tone as he stated the objective facts.

"Plus, Senior Qing Jiao Wang is willing to act as a matchmaker, so I really can't think of any reason to refuse. I think any other man would do the same."

Yan Ruyu's smile became wider. She was not angry at his frankness. Instead, she seemed to appreciate it. She nodded slightly and said, "Since you are so frank, I won't hide anything."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up, her eyes gradually becoming distant, as if she was recalling something that happened long ago.

"In the eyes of the world, I have been living a life of luxury since I was young, with everyone praising me. I was born into a noble family and have everything I want, as if all the troubles in the world have nothing to do with me. But in fact, I have had no freedom since I was born. No matter what I do, I must be cautious and not fall into the power of the Demon Emperor."

Yan Ruyu spoke in a light tone, as if she was not talking about her own experience, but telling someone else's story.

"However, I don't complain about this. On the contrary, since I am the descendant of the Demon Emperor and enjoy blessings that others cannot match, I should shoulder more arduous responsibilities... Many people envy me."

"Having said so much, why did I choose you... There is only one reason. I think you have the greatest potential among the younger generation in the Eastern Wasteland. Moreover... you don't have an overly complicated and large power background."

Speaking of this, a look of disappointment flashed across Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes.

"The person I marry cannot be an ordinary person, nor can she be a descendant of a noble family. An ordinary person cannot help me restore the glory of my ancestors, but a descendant of a noble family will backfire on me... You should understand, right?"

She also spoke these words very straightforwardly, without any so-called emotional factors mixed in, but this made them seem more real.

After saying this, she stared at Chai Xin with her crystal eyes, examining his changing expressions.

"Hahaha... Great! Your Highness is quick to speak and is as capable as any man. This is truly admirable!"

Suddenly, Chai Xin clapped his hands and laughed, then extended his right hand to the other party.

"In that case, how about you and I treat this 'marriage contract' as a 'covenant'?"

Yan Ruyu stared at his palm for a moment, then came back to her senses. A smile flashed across her red lips. She stretched out her pure and innocent hand, gently held it with Chai Xin, and said loudly, "Brother Chai's words are very much in line with my opinion!"

Both of them are very clear-headed people. They both know that if they don't talk it out and talk it out as soon as possible, they will not be able to be honest with each other in the future, and the so-called "engagement" will inevitably become a joke, so they took this action. Although the words have not been completely said, the intention of honest "cooperation" has been initially reached. As for the subsequent trust, further contact and observation of each other's actions are needed.

Chai Xin is not averse to discussing interests in a relationship. Instead, he hopes that both parties can be open and honest and make each other's wishes clear from the beginning.

This is much better than both sides concealing the truth, being suspicious, and taking advantage of each other, clearly having ulterior motives, but still playing the "emotional card" and standing on the "moral high ground" to accuse each other.

They have now reached a preliminary cooperation. Regardless of whether they can really develop feelings and get married in the future, at least they have an ally with similar ideals, which is a good thing.

If we drift further and further apart in the future, it won’t be a pity.

In the following months, the two often met in various scenic places, chatting with each other about their experiences or exchanging their cultivation experiences. Their relationship was not close, but it gradually warmed up. They were no longer as reserved and unfamiliar as at the beginning, and gradually became good friends.

In the blink of an eye, March has passed.

Recently, the Green Dragon King's small world has become increasingly lively. No matter whether it is the demon clan or the human clan, anyone who has any connection with the Green Dragon King, the Peacock King, and the Demon Emperor, even many beings who are not related at all, have all rushed here.

These people came here for one thing, of course, which was the engagement ceremony between the demon princess Yan Ruyu and Chai Xin, a true disciple of Wanchu Holy Land.

Needless to say, Chai Xin is the descendant of the Demon Emperor. He has also been gaining popularity recently, both among humans and demons. He first suppressed the Ji family's divine body, and then beat the Golden Winged Little Peng King. The title of "Chai Demon King" has been established.

The small world is decorated with lights and is full of joy and bustle.

"The Grand Elder of the Northern Region's Myriad Tribulations Sect has arrived, presenting a pair of jade ruyi to congratulate the newlyweds on their engagement..."

"The Lord of the Northern Region Five Elements Palace is here in person..."

"The White Ape King of the Central Region has arrived..."

"The deputy palace master of the Western Heavenly Demon Palace has arrived..."

Many important figures came to congratulate Chai Xin and Yan Ruyu in person, and powerful people from both the human and demon races came together.

King Qing Jiao and King Kong Que Wang received them personally, but Chai Xin and Yan Ruyu sat quietly in the hall, waiting for the ceremony to begin before going on stage - this was due to the latter's status as a demon princess.

After all, she is the emperor's descendant, and the only child of his. Even if numerous important figures come to give gifts, she will not be asked to personally greet them at the engagement ceremony.

Fairy Caiyun and Li Ying had already arrived. As the elders, they stayed in the inner room and were asked to leave last.

Fairy Caiyun was born into an extraordinary family and had seen countless big scenes, so she was naturally calm.

But Li Ying is only an elder of a small sect in the Southern Region, and has only reached the level of Taoist Palace cultivation. How could he have ever seen these many legendary great figures?
She was shocked and delighted, and was impressed by her own vision in accepting a disciple. She was even more impressed by Chai Xin's achievements today. At the same time, she was also moved that he did not forget her, his mentor, as he flew higher and higher.

Fortunately, Zhang Ziling also came, and he had already cultivated to perfection in the Dao Palace and could break into the Four Extremes at any time.

The talent he displayed was extremely rare. Although he had not yet officially joined the Holy Land of Yao Chi, he was noticed by a supreme elder of Yao Chi who was about to die, and was accepted into the sect. His status was even higher than that of most of the official disciples of Yao Chi.

Even so, logically he was still not qualified to come this time, but when the higher-ups of Yao Chi learned that he and Chai Xin were fellow apprentices, he was specially allowed to come as an accompanying member to congratulate them.

With Zhang Ziling by her side, Li Ying's nervousness was greatly relieved.

Finally, all the guests arrived. Chai Xin and Yan Ruyu had already changed into their dark red wedding dresses, which were solemn and elegant, luxurious yet simple.

The two walked out of the inner hall hand in hand. The man was tall and handsome, while the woman was elegant and beautiful. They looked like a perfect couple, and many guests praised them in secret.

The entire engagement ceremony was jointly presided over by King Qing Jiao and Deng Hong, the supreme elder of Wanchu Holy Land. It combined the rituals of the demon race and the human race, and the whole process was simple and solemn.

"The engagement is set, they are a perfect match!"

As the guests cheered in unison, Chai Xin and Yan Ruyu's engagement came into effect. If nothing unexpected happens, the two will become Taoist couples and spend the rest of their lives together.

But at this moment, a powerful wave swept across the entire Green Dragon King's small world, followed by several majestic voices that spread in all directions -

"The eighth ancestor of the Ji family is here to congratulate the princess of the demon clan on her engagement!"

"Yaoguang Holy Land, come to congratulate the princess of the demon tribe on her engagement!"

"King Jinpeng, congratulations to His Highness Yan!"

The moment these three forces introduced themselves, the lively and festive atmosphere of the entire small world came to a halt.

　First update.

　　This chapter was supposed to be from last night, but I’m really not good at scenes between men and women, so I deleted and revised it for a long time.

　　I just hope there are no poisonous points. I will try to write less about this part in the future. Haha.
