Chapter 1735 Forced Binding!
The most shocked were Ran Qianqian and Dong Chuyan!
"What did you say?!"
Ran Qianqian could no longer contain herself. She suddenly broke free from Leng Xi's hand, stepped forward, her eyebrows furrowed, pointed at Fairy Yueyao, and trembled with anger.
"You...you can forget about it! Mingchuan is one of ours! What right do you have to let him marry into our family?!"
Dong Chuyan's eyes also reddened with anxiety, "No! He can't go with you!"
Although Leng Xi forcefully pulled back the impulsive Ran Qianqian, her face was as cold as frost, and her eyes were full of vigilance and hostility as she looked at Fairy Yueyao.
She could accept Jin Man's existence because it was Ming Chuan's entanglement in the Spirit Realm due to circumstances. But this Fairy Yue Yao actually wanted Ming Chuan to leave them and marry into the Holy Realm.
Absolutely impossible!
They finally managed to get together, and only they know the hardships they endured!
They must never experience such hardship again!
The three women's fierce reaction instantly made the atmosphere in the hall extremely tense!
Fairy Yueyao seemed oblivious, merely glancing at them with a half-smile, her gaze indifferent and detached, like a deity looking down upon the squabble of ants. She then turned her gaze back to Mingchuan, awaiting his reply.
The pressure, like an invisible mountain, pressed down on Mingchuan.
Everyone's eyes were on him.
Mingchuan lowered his head, coughing violently, his shoulders shaking, as if his injury was acting up again, or as if he was struggling with extreme pain inside.
After a long while, he slowly raised his head and pretended to be hesitant to speak.
"Fairy...Fairy's kindness is too much for Mingchuan...I am humbled. But..."
After Mingchuan's "only," there was a long silence.
His face was pale, his gaze shifting between the unquestionable face of Fairy Yueyao and the angry and panicked faces of his three Daoist companions. His chest rose and fell slightly, and his coughs came intermittently, perfectly portraying the image of a sect leader who was seriously injured and facing a difficult choice.
Fairy Yueyao didn't urge him, but watched him leisurely, her fingertips still tapping the armrest intermittently, as if she were enjoying an interesting drama.
Finally, Mingchuan seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Fairy... with a celestial appearance, the Holy Domain Dragon Roar Temple is a place that we cultivators look up to. To be favored by the fairy is truly Mingchuan's... greatest fortune."
He paused, then changed the subject with difficulty, "However, Mingchuan comes from humble origins, but has been supported by three Daoist partners who have stayed with him until now. Their affection is deep and their vows to live and die together have been made long ago. To marry into the Holy Domain... is truly difficult to accept."
"Your Excellency is so magnanimous, could you... perhaps change the terms? If the Wan Chuan Sect can do it, Ming Chuan will do everything in its power to repay your kindness!"
These words were spoken with extreme humility, almost placing himself and the Wan Chuan Sect in the position of supplicants.
The smile on Fairy Yueyao's face faded slightly, and her eyes turned cold.
She slowly straightened up, her moon-white skirt flowing like water.
"Change the terms?" she repeated, her voice still melodious, but now icy. "Mingchuan, do you think... this fairy is here to bargain with you?"
She stood up and looked down at Mingchuan, who sat in the main seat and looked particularly weak. An invisible pressure spread out, which was not as sharp and imposing as Xuan Yangzi's, but was more vast and profound, as if the entire starry sky had fallen down, making people feel insignificant.
"I will give you two choices." Fairy Yueyao extended two slender fingers, her tone leaving no room for argument. "First, agree to the marriage proposal. I will smooth things over between Su Hongzhen and Qingcheng Yufa Sect. As for your injuries, Longyin Temple can also treat them."
"Second," she paused, then pointed lightly to the northwest outside the hall, where the Black Wind Mountains were located, "I refuse. This fairy will return to the Holy Domain immediately. As for this Spirit Domain Demon Abyss, and the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect that is secretly causing trouble... they will have nothing to do with your Wanchuan Sect anymore. Whether the seal collapses or remains stable, whether the living beings live or die, is entirely up to you."
She watched as Mingchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a cruel smile curved her red lips:
"With the protection of spatial laws and the full support of several confidantes and disciples of the sect, Sect Master Ming is sure to be able to protect this world. There is no need for me to overstep my bounds."
This is a blatant threat, and it forcibly links the potential enormous crisis in the Spirit Realm with Ming Chuan's personal choice!
If you agree, you will marry into the Holy Domain, lose your freedom, and may even betray your Daoist partner.
If you refuse, you will have to face the potential full-blown Demon Abyss and the frenzied counterattack of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect alone, putting your sect and loved ones in danger!
Fairy Yueyao has found the weakness in Mingchuan's serious injury, the newly established Wanchuan Sect, and its unstable foundation!
“Fairy…” Mingchuan seemed to still want to struggle.
"No need for further words." Fairy Yueyao interrupted him, her tone returning to its usual detached indifference. "I will give you three days to consider. I will return at this time three days later to hear your reply."
After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at anyone in the hall and turned to walk out.
Xuan Yangzi followed silently, never uttering a word, yet he remained as imposing as a mountain, upholding the majesty of the Holy Domain to the very end.
Ye Yan quickly followed and saw them off.
The suffocating pressure only gradually dissipated after the figures of Fairy Yueyao and her two companions disappeared into the radiance outside the palace gates.
"boom!"
Ah Xiong slammed his fist into the jade pillar beside him, his forehead veins bulging with anger. He cursed, "Damn it! This woman is too pretentious! I originally wanted to use her to deal with that old bastard Su Hongzhen, but instead she wants to steal you away, Ming Ge! What kind of Holy Realm Fairy is she? I think she's a reincarnated hungry wolf!"
Ji Zhou's face darkened: "She has calculated our current predicament. The threat of the Demon Abyss has not been eliminated, the Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect is eyeing us covetously, and Ming is seriously injured... She is trying to take advantage of our misfortune."
Jin Man bit her lower lip tightly, looking at Ming Chuan with worry and resentment in her eyes: "What do we do now? Do we really have to..."
Ran Qianqian gritted her teeth and slapped Mingchuan on the shoulder: "Mingchuan! You're not allowed to agree! If you dare to become that woman's son-in-law, I... I'll never forgive you!"
Dong Chuyan bit her red lips tightly: "Mingchuan, if you really do that, you'll be letting us down too much. We've waited for you in the human realm for so long, and then abandoned everything to come to the cultivation world with you without hesitation..."
The rest is self-evident.
Leng Xi didn't say anything, just stared at him coldly.
Mingchuan smiled helplessly: "Look how anxious you all are! It was just an act for outsiders in the first place. Since the Holy Domain won't get involved, why don't we just take matters into our own hands!"
"The Qingcheng Imperial Law Sect is practically drained of its resources. What are we afraid of?"
Ran Qianqian raised an eyebrow warily: "Are you serious? You really won't marry into the family?"
"What nonsense about me marrying into a family! A grown man should stand tall and upright, how could he marry into a family?!" Mingchuan scoffed.
