Forced Marriage!
Forced Marriage!
That would be a cultivation technique that belonged to Jun Moxie… alone!
In fact, this cultivation technique might even be capable of being superior to the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune!
Of course, that was only a matter for consideration after he reached the Ninth level of the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune.
But just this discovery right now was enough to cause Jun Moxie's little heart to beat crazily with excitement!
This was a gift that was so huge that it was difficult to measure! In comparison to that minor bit of effort that Jun Moxie had used to heal his soul… it was completely on a different scale. If that bit of life energy from the little tree was a light in the darkness, Miao Qingcheng's compensation was like the dazzling moon in the nine heavens, or the midday sun!
Even with his great efforts so far, he had only managed to fumble out a rudimentary path to heaven. But this time, Miao Qingcheng had pretty much given him a much more solid foundation!
Miao Qingcheng had not mentioned why he did that, and Jun Moxie had not asked either. But in his heart, he had remembered this favor. The favor that he owed this time was simply too huge!
If he had the ability in the future, he would definitely come back to help Miao Qingcheng and absolve the problem of the Heavenly Punishment!
Only that way, would he feel more at ease in his heart.
Although Miao Qingcheng had not requested anything of him, Jun Moxie vowed this in his heart!
Back at the great hall, Miao Jingyun spoke first. "Junye ah, look here… the matter between you and Xiaomiao is more or less set now. If you don't have any opinions, shall we settle the procedures first? Even if we don't rush to complete the marriage ceremony first, we should hold an engagement ceremony first!"
Normally, since 'Mo Junye' was just a junior, and he didn't have any kin with him, it would be fine to simply look for Cao Guofeng to discuss this matter. But he'd heard that this Mo Junye still had a wife…
If it was before he met the old ancestor, even if Mo Junye said that he had a wife, it wouldn't be a problem no matter how many he had. He would simply act forcefully, demanding that he divorce all of them. Miao Xiaomiao could only be the biggest wife and the only wife! But now, since the old ancestor had placed such importance on this lad and had even told him not to provoke the latter, everything was different!
Especially now that this matter concerned an 'inner court', it was even more difficult to handle if Cao Guofeng was involved…
And so, he could only deal directly with Mo Junye.
Jun Moxie fidgeted for a moment and asked in a serious manner: "What does Senior mean?"
"It's not that this old man is trying to boast. Our Xiaomiao is undoubtedly a match for you whether it be her looks, character, or intelligence. Do you agree on this point?" Miao Jingyun stroked his long beard and asked with a faint smile.
"That is naturally so! Miss Miao is pure hearted and kind, like a fairy in human form. She is more than enough to suit even the most outstanding man in this world!" Jun Moxie completely did not hide his admiration for Miao Xiaomiao.
"Hur hur, it's good that you think so. But I wonder if that wife of yours… this old man doesn't know if you'd officially tied the knot with her, but we'll call her as such for now…" Miao Xiaomiao said with a light chuckle: "That girl… how is she, when compared to Xiaomiao?"
Jun Moxie fell silent for a moment, and sighed heavily, saying, "Although Miss Miao is undoubtedly a rare beauty of the world, my wife… is an unsurpassed beauty of a generation, peerless and without compare! Although Miss Miao is as fair as a flower and beautiful as the moon, she… is ultimately still a mortal beauty! But my wife… is a fairy descended on earth, incomparable among the mortal realm! I hope that Senior will not take offense… but if Miss Miao was compared with her, although she would not pale much in comparison, there would still be a considerable gap between them!"
As Jun Moxie spoke, the dream-like image of Mei Xueyan appeared before his eyes, and he felt a strange warmth in his heart. In that moment, a contented grin even appeared on his face.
Miao Jingyun's lips twitched, and the muscle beside his eyes spasmed uncontrollably.
He thought that since he'd taken the first step and asked, this Mo Junye brat would at least say a few words in modesty… besides, old man Miao completely did not believe that there was any woman more beautiful than his Miao Xiaomiao in this world. And that such a beautiful girl would just so happen to be this brat's wife as well…
As long as Mo Junye said any humble words, he could immediately follow up with countless undeniable words, forcing this brat until he had no paths for retreat! But to think that this fellow would talk like this the instant he opened his mouth! Not only was he not humble, he'd even directly propped his wife to the heavens…
In that instant, Miao Jingyun suddenly felt the impulse to smack this hateful brat to death with a single slap…
"So…" Jun Moxie continued in an unhurried manner. "If Manor Lord wishes to advise me to break off with my wife and remarry… there's no need to speak about it any further. As for the engagement, I'm afraid it'll have to be delayed."
After saying that, Jun Moxie smiled lightly and raised his head to look at Miao Jingyun. His eyes were clearly saying: The plan you have in your mind is definitely not going to work! Everything will only move according to the will of this Young Master!
"Little brat Mo, according to your words… are you intending on letting this old man's granddaughter, the princess of the Misty Illusory Manor, become your concubine?" Miao Jingyun stared at him, his eyes blazing with rage.
"Manor Lord is too speaking too seriously. That was not my intention." Jun Moxie shrugged his shoulder and said. "Truthfully, I had not planned for this matter to reach such a step originally! The reason I'd been so harsh this afternoon, was precisely because of this. I didn't want to hurt Miss Miao, and I didn't want to be unfair to my wife, which was why I had decided to do that. But I hadn't anticipated that Miss Miao would because of this matter, nearly… As such I had no choice but to change my initial plans. I simply cannot watch by the side as a country toppling beauty and such a kind hearted girl… perish because of me. Moreover, I do have some good feelings towards Miss Miao as well…
"It was precisely because of that that I came here this afternoon!" Jun Moxie said in a stern manner. "However, I did not come because of her beauty, and moreso…" He looked steadily at Miao Jingyun's eyes: "… not for the power and influence of the Misty Illusory Manor!"
"Then you tell me, what should we do? You need to give me a concrete arrangement at the very least!" Miao Jingyun was so angry that his beard was completely straight. However, there was nothing he could do at all. This fellow refused to accept both gentle and harsh methods, and even had a powerful backing. On top of that, his granddaughter was dead set on not marrying anyone else but him! To only be able to watch as his beloved granddaughter was fiercely chomped up by others like this, Miao Jingyun felt an intense sense of powerlessness…
"The only thing I can promise you is that with me, there will be no differentiation of big or small positions!" Jun Moxie said in a serious manner. "Whether it is the daughter of a rich and powerful family or a common girl, as long as I've approved of them, their positions will be the same after entering my family! They can call each other elder or younger sisters based on age, but in terms of position, there will be no discrimination!"
Miao Jingyun's mouth hung wide open, and he couldn't speak at all for a long time. "No differentiation of positions, can refer to each other as sisters… so, you're saying… that there's not just one or two wives in your harem?" This reaction was not from shock, but from anger…
"Isn't it a normal thing for a capable man to have many wives and concubines? Why is there a need for Senior to be so surprised?" Now that Jun Moxie could finally say those words that every man dreamt of being able to say, he felt a great satisfaction in his heart!
Although he had only said that to make preparations for himself in the future, those words were not contradictory to his heart…
Miao Jingyun was completely speechless with rage!
Although those words were the truth and were even the dream in every man's heart, to actually say it in front of the grandfather of a girl he was intending to marry… Young Master Jun could possibly be the first in this world to do that!
Too utterly shameless…
"You… you brat… simply shameless to the extreme!" Old man Miao was so angry that he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, and he pointed at Jun Moxie with a shaky finger. "You're dreaming!"
"It's not my business how you think." Jun Moxie shook his head. "Dare I ask Manor Lord… how many wives and concubines do you have?"
Miao Jingyun was instantly stumped, unable to reply.
Miao Jingyun indeed had quite a few wives and concubines. In this 500 years, he'd at least taken the role of a groom for 70, 80 times by a conservative estimate. Just the number of wives he'd taken for the sake of political marriage alliances were not few. So Manor Lord Miao completely did not know how to reply to this question.
"How can you compare yourself with the Manor Lord?" Miao Dao looked coldly at Jun Moxie and asked in a cold voice.
"Why can't I be compared with him?" Jun Moxie asked in an incredulous tone. "All of us are men here, so what words cannot be said? I was only speaking frankly…"
"Speaking frankly? You were only speaking frankly? But your words are a little too straightforward?!" Miao Jingyun finally managed to catch his breath.
"This is something that cannot be helped as well! While this junior was residing in the Mystic Mystic Continent, the world out there was very chaotic, with wars raging all around constantly! Every year, the number of soldiers that died in the battlefield would exceed tens of millions! And these people, were in majority, men! In other words, countless orphans and widows would be created every year, and there would also be large numbers of young girls at the appropriate age to marry. With the accumulation of such a long time, the disparity between the number of men and women grew exceedingly huge! That was the situation in the entire continent, and it's not something that I alone can change!
"In that kind of situation, any guy that was slightly more outstanding would instantly win the admiration of many young ladies. It's only natural that a capable young man would have many beautiful women by his side! Does Senior intend to deny this point?"
Jun Moxie continued without the slightest embarrassment. "Could it be that you would rather these girls die alone on the shelf than allow them to pursue their own happiness?"
"But Miao Miao is the princess of the Misty Illusory Manor; how can her status be comparable to those other girls?" Miao Jingyun said with a fierce snort.
"I've said it before just now; the power and influence of the Misty Illusory Manor does not mean anything to me! It is but floating clouds in my eyes. If you insist on making me choose, I can only tell you that I'm sorry!" Jun Moxie refused to budge a single step. He could already tell that there was no way to get through to this old man by reasoning, and so he completely cut to the chase, kicking the ball back into his court.
