Chapter 168: Chapter 168: He Must Become My Son-in-law

"Ah?"

Wu Xia’s heart skipped a beat as he looked towards Xiao Nihuang and then at the overjoyed Lord Xiao.

He knew that father and daughter had played him, severing his potential relationships with other women of the Inner Court.

However, Wu Xia didn’t mind, and he simply smiled casually.

Women weren’t that important to him anymore.

As long as he broke through to the twelfth level of Joyful Union, he could rely on his own cultivation from then on.

Besides, in this world, reaching the twelfth level of Joyful Union meant reaching the pinnacle; he didn’t need to concern himself with anything else.

The union with Xiao Nihuang last night had already brought Wu Xia to the threshold of the Magic Door; he was just a step away.

As long as he cultivated with Xiao Nihuang again tonight, he was sure to break through successfully.

After that, Wu Xia wouldn’t be in a rush to cultivate; he needed to raise the strength of the women around him before continuing with his cultivation.

But when Wu Xia followed Xiao Nihuang and her father to the Inner Court, he immediately regretted it.

This Inner Court visit wasn’t about discussing affairs at all; it was basically a large-scale, high-end matchmaking event.

Daughters from the direct lines of the five Great Elders of the Inner Court had all come.

Their ages ranged from eighteen to thirty-eight.

All these women had grown up in noble environments, whether in terms of temperament, looks, or behavior, each was a rare beauty of a hundred miles.

Seeing Lord Xiao’s smile, almost too wide to close his mouth, Wu Xia was even more certain of the thoughts in his mind.

He frowned at Xiao Nihuang, who quickly shook her head, putting on an innocent face, "I really didn’t know!"

"I have no other demands on you, so if you really like someone, you can just pick one from here, I don’t mind!"

Xiao Nihuang made her stance clear, although it still carried a hint of sourness.

Wu Xia’s strength had completely conquered her, and since Wu Xia already had many women, she wasn’t surprised.

Wu Xia smiled awkwardly and gently pinched Xiao Nihuang’s cheek, "Silly, I promised your dad that I wouldn’t have other women in Capital City, a man should keep his word!"

Xiao Nihuang blushed, tenderly clinging to Wu Xia’s hand.

The five Great Elders were astonished to see that Lord Xiao could walk and had recovered his legs.

"Lord Xiao, what happened?"

Lord Xiao laughed heartily, "My son-in-law healed my legs, come, son-in-law, let me introduce you!"

As he spoke, Lord Xiao waved Wu Xia over, "This is my son-in-law, Wu Xia!"

"This is the Great Elder, Qin..."

"Stop!"

Before Lord Xiao could finish, a white-bearded elder interrupted discontentedly, quickly questioning in a cold voice, "Lord Xiao, when did Wu Xia become your son-in-law? We had agreed that after he arrived at the Inner Court today, he would choose for himself. How could you take the lead like this?"

All the elders glared at Lord Xiao with evident anger.

Especially after seeing that Wu Xia had healed Lord Xiao’s disability, they were even more enraged, as if they wanted to rush up and give Lord Xiao a beating.

Wu Xia looked at these elite figures arguing with flushed faces and bulging eyes, bewildered.

He was just a man of ordinary family background, and though he was somewhat capable, with his promiscuous nature and a horde of women around him, these people of high status shouldn’t be clamoring over him like this.

What Wu Xia didn’t know was that all his feats had spread to the Inner Court: bringing the dead back to life, single-handedly annihilating an Ancient Martial family, and even enabling ordinary people around him to enter the ranks of cultivation.

Any of these points was against the natural order.

Especially since he had no background, which was what these big shots valued the most, because it meant they didn’t have to worry about other behind-the-scenes powers, only needed to win over Wu Xia, would allow him to become an asset to their forces.

That’s why they spared no effort to have the women of the family come here, all to catch Wu Xia’s eye and have him choose one of them.

They had even agreed that if Wu Xia liked all of them, they were willing to let him have them all.

However, they never expected Lord Xiao to steal a march, actually cementing a relationship with Wu Xia first.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Lord Xiao, what you’re doing is not right, he must be my son-in-law!"

"Mr. Wu, look, this is my eldest granddaughter, she’s twenty-eight today, an actress, and you should know her, right?"

Wu Xia’s eyes widened as he then realized why the woman seemed so familiar—she was none other than the national goddess, Yang Xue.

"Mr. Wu, this is my younger granddaughter, eighteen this year, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and both lively and adorable. What do you think, are you satisfied?"

Another Elder also pulled his granddaughter along to introduce her to Wu Xia.

"Mr. Wu, this is my daughter, Fan Ruoruo. Although a bit older, she is one in ten thousand—a downright beautiful woman with great potential! Moreover, I have taught her personally since she was young, and she has already entered the Inner Court assessments. She will soon become the youngest Elder in the history of the Inner Court!"

"Mr. Wu, we don’t have a daughter at home, this is my niece, you can be assured, she’s no different from my own daughter. She is now a national treasure, having solved many technological challenges for us!"

...

Five Elders, introducing over ten women to Wu Xia.

Wu Xia was dazzled by what he saw.

Any of these women, taken out into the world, would be goddesses people clamor for.

Yet now, they were all smiling coyly, leaving the choice entirely to Wu Xia alone.

Wu Xia had never dreamed that the women he could only see on television, whom he looked up to and fantasized about, would all be appearing before him.

To say he wasn’t tempted would be a lie.

After all, he was a man.

And, furthermore, a man who survived by depending on his lower half.

In his eyes, the Spiritual Power contained within these noble women was not inferior to that of any ordinary cultivator.

Especially Yang Xue and Fan Ruoruo—one a national goddess and the other the youngest Elder of the Inner Court.

One with the power of the faith and worship of countless admirers, the other with an aura as formidable as Xiao Nihuang’s.

The only difference was that Xiao Nihuang’s was an aura of murderous Evil Qi, while Fan Ruoruo’s was that of a subdued royal authority.

These two auras, which Wu Xia had never before encountered, made him unable to resist giving the two women a few extra glances, driven by curiosity.

And just then, he happened to be caught red-handed by the Elder.

"Look, Mr. Wu likes my daughter!"

Grasping Wu Xia’s hand, Elder Fan said earnestly, "Mr. Wu, has Lord Xiao threatened you with something? Don’t be afraid, we can make decisions for you here!"

"Yes, Mr. Wu, a man of your caliber must not be controlled by him. You should take a look at this vast world outside!"

"I haven’t been threatened, I’m willing!" Wu Xia’s back was drenched with sweat as he quickly clarified his position.

But how could these Elders easily let go of Wu Xia?

"Mr. Wu, whether you’re willing or being coerced, now that you’ve come here today, we too should make our stance clear!"

"Since you’ve chosen to be Lord Xiao’s son-in-law, then you must also choose at least one woman from our direct lineage to become our son-in-law as well!"

"We can recognize the Xiao Family as the main house, then we can take turns in sorting out the rest!"

Boom!

"What?"
