Chapter 46[Way Out of Line!]

At this moment, how was Chen Yan feeling...

Surprised, curious, excited, and a bit complicated.

Wedding contract?

A betrothal decided by his dad in childhood?

So this enchanting beauty, Gu Qingyi, came from another world looking for him...

Delivered a wife from thousands of miles away?

Chen Yan couldn’t help but look up at Gu Qingyi again.

Big eyes, small face, delicate skin, every feature perfectly beautiful. And her slightly upturned brows added a touch of enchanting allure to her otherwise pure and gentle face.

This allure might add extra attraction for some men—yes, Chen Yan was one of those men.

From her appearance, compared to any woman he had met or seen on TV, from famous actresses touted for their divine beauty to real-life beauties like Lu Sisi or his boss’s wife...

All were outshined without any suspense.

A betrothed wife from childhood?

Is this like Gu Fairy Sister falling from the sky?

Lost in his thoughts, Chen Yan felt a bit conflicted.

He...

Was not planning on marrying so soon!

Damn... He was only twenty-two, just legally eligible for marriage.

With the secret manual from the old lady, he’d soon become a highly enlightened individual. Wealth and fame would come rolling in... Women? Would he lack them?

He planned to enjoy worldly pleasures for ten or eight years first!

Who wanted to get married now!

But, this Gu Qingyi’s appearance...

Chen Yan swallowed his saliva.

Not entirely impossible... right?

·

With chaotic thoughts, Chen Yan blinked hard, then said with a complicated tone, "I understand your intention...

But, you need to understand that this is too sudden for me.

I’m only twenty-two years old, never thought of marrying so soon... Miss Gu Qingyi, you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, and we do have a wedding contract...

But I’m not planning on marrying for now. If you don’t mind, we can try to get to know each other, cultivate em..."

Gu Qingyi initially listened calmly, but as Chen Yan continued, her face turned increasingly blue.

By the end, Gu Qingyi’s face turned red with anger, a flash of rage in her eyes.

Suddenly, she jumped from the chair and kicked Chen Yan directly.

Crack!

The bamboo chair beneath Chen Yan shattered instantly, and he fell to the ground, feeling his Primordial Qi scattered, his vision darkening, almost vomiting blood.

"Hey, not agreeing to marry doesn’t mean you can hit people!", Chen Yan clutched his chest and abdomen, shouting.

Gu Qingyi furiously replied, "Are you blind?!"

She lifted Chen Yan from the ground and threw him beside the transparent golden book: "Open your eyes and see clearly! Marry you? How dare you utter such absurd words!"

Chen Yan was stunned, then hastily looked closely, seeing the golden text floating on the translucent golden volume, it read:

... Seventeenth Prince Jue of the Chen Family, upon pointing out the betrothal, hereby makes this pledge. Betrothing the seventeenth legitimate daughter of the Gu Family, thus forming a good match, binding the red strings early, staying together till old age...

Chen Yan read it again and again...

Seventeenth Prince Jue of the Chen Family...

Seventeenth Prince Jue of the Chen Family...

Chen Jue? My father?

Chen Yan looked up at Gu Qingyi standing in front of him.

Gu Qingyi sneered, pointing to the line [Seventeenth Generation of the Gu Family’s Legitimate Daughter] coldly said, "This refers to me!"

Chen Yan swallowed, "So this contract isn’t my childhood betrothal with you..., seeing Gu Qingyi’s eyes flaring up again, he quickly added, "... the wedding contract is between you and my father?"

Gu Qingyi gritted her teeth, "Yes!"

Chen Yan: "..."

Wait, wait... This is confusing!

Let me, Mr. Chen the Benefactor, think this through!

Chen Yan widened his eyes, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-one."

"I’m twenty-two! So, when this contract was made, you weren’t even born yet? And my father, Chen Jue... he must be at least forty to have me, a great son?"

Gu Qingyi coldly said, "So what? This contract was indeed made many years before I was born.

It was made when your father Chen Jue was young, between your Chen Family ancestor and my Gu Family ancestor. As for age, our cultivators have long lifespans, twenty years is nothing."

Chen Yan, hearing this, actually felt relieved—not marrying me? Then it’s fine.

But...

Blinking his eyes, Chen Yan bitterly smiled, "Did you cross worlds just for this contract? Such an arranged marriage, you can just not fulfill it, right? And from your tone, you don’t seem to like Chen Jue, why bother?"

"If it were that simple..." Gu Qingyi gritted her teeth, her face cold, "This marriage contract was written by a Great Celestial Venerable himself with Supreme Mana, already fused into my fate. You’re a cultivator, you should know, once written into fate, then...

It’s a tribulation, it must be faced.

It’s fate, it must be fulfilled!"

Chen Yan couldn’t help but secretly curl his lips.

Damn it, invited a Great Celestial Venerable... using Supreme Mana, written into fate?

That Great Celestial Venerable, didn’t you have anything else to write?

You have such powers, you could write something else well!

"I broke into the Celestial Human Realm at nineteen. Since then, no matter how I cultivated, I couldn’t advance further! The realm beyond Celestial Human Realm requires severing ties and bonds, because my marriage fate is unresolved, Heavenly Dao won’t allow me to reach higher realms, unless I... resolve this marriage fate first."

Gu Qingyi said, glancing at Chen Yan, sneering, "Otherwise, do you think I’m willing to marry Chen Jue, a notorious Chen Family’s son in the entire Domain Realm?"

Seeing Gu Qingyi’s anger, Chen Yan cautiously got up from the ground, retreating two steps, "But... my father Chen Jue is already dead. He’s gone, how can you complete the marriage?"

Gu Qingyi’s expression turned increasingly bizarre upon hearing this.

"Regarding this, I already thought about it before coming. If I find him, I’ll marry; if he’s dead..." Slowly, a sentence emerged from the girl’s mouth:

"Nether Marriage is also a marriage!"

Holy crap? Chen Yan was stunned!

·

After several seconds of dumbfoundedness, Chen Yan widened his eyes, "Wait, your speech rhythm is hard to follow... What do you mean?"

Gu Qingyi squinted her eyes, "Even if Chen Jue is dead, as long as you, a Chen Family descendant, act as the marriage witness, help me hold a Nether Marriage, and as a legitimate descendant of the Chen Family write down the marriage testimony on the contract... I’ll consider the fate resolved!"

Chen Yan widened his eyes, greatly shocked!

"Hey, sister, you’re truly crazy!!"

Chen Yan rarely admired anyone in life but couldn’t help genuinely giving this Miss Gu Qingyi a thumbs up at this moment.

Gu Qingyi heard Chen Yan’s heartfelt exclamation but suddenly frowned, "What did you call me?"

"Huh?"

"You can’t call me sister."

Gu Qingyi took a deep breath, slowly stepped back two steps, and sat down again on her bamboo chair, looking at Chen Yan, slowly saying, "Alright, I’ve said everything clearly, you can salute me now."

Chen Yan: "What salute?"

Gu Qingyi waved her hand, her young face trying to hold a dignified posture, clearing her throat, in a tiny voice, she pretended to be calm, "My wedding contract with your father was written by a Great Celestial Venerable himself, already fused into fate.

So, regardless of how many other women your father had later, even if he had ten thousand women, those women could only be considered concubines at best.

Fate is supreme. I, Gu Qingyi, am the legitimate wife of the seventeenth prince of the Chen Family.

And you Chen Yan..."

At this point, Gu Qingyi paused, making Chen Yan feel uneasy.

Sure enough, Gu Qingyi continued, "Chen Yan, you were born of a concubine, thus you are a concubine’s son.

According to the law, as a concubine’s son, you should address me, your father’s legitimate wife, as Consort Mother!"

Chen Yan: "............"

What the hell is this concubine legitimacy nonsense!?

·

Chen Yan had lived for twenty-two years.

In a blink, he became a legendary concubine’s son?

And a girl younger than him, sat there, wanting him to salute and recognize her as mother?

Alright, alright! This world is truly crazy!

"No way!" Chen Yan rolled his eyes, "Do you have any idea how absurd your words are?"

Gu Qingyi slowly stood up, "I also think this is absurd. But there is no other way, I need you, Chen Jue’s descendant, to recognize me as Consort Mother. I need you to help me complete the Nether Marriage ritual, to write your name in blood and as a Chen family descendant write down the marriage testimony on the contract, so I’m forced to trouble you..."

She took a deep breath, then stood there and flexed her wrist.

"Wai-Wait! What are you trying to do?" Chen Yan immediately retreated, quickly forming a Fingerprint with his hand, the Law Order·Escape Rune Technique incantation already ready, "Talk nicely, no violence!"

Gu Qingyi squinted her eyes, pointing towards a corner of the courtyard.

"I mentioned earlier, I am at the Celestial Human Realm, you probably don’t understand what Celestial Human Realm is."

Chen Yan widened his eyes looking at Gu Qingyi!

Under the Celestial Eye Gaze, he could "see" the Primordial Qi around Gu Qingyi surging like thunder!

With a point of her finger, a ray of light shot out from her fingertip.

In the northeast corner of the courtyard, there was a decorative Taihu stone.

A nearly three-meter-tall Taihu stone, weighing at least a ton...

Under Gu Qingyi’s point, the light merged into the Taihu stone, and then, under Chen Yan’s gaze, the ton-heavy stone shattered bit by bit, turning into powder like dry flour!

Chen Yan: "..."

Gu Qingyi’s tone seemed calm: "I’ve said before, you can either believe me or not— for me, it’s simply beating you until you believe, beating you until you submit."

Chen Yan: "..."

Gu Qingyi’s tone suddenly softened, "Before I left, my third uncle told me to handle things tactfully, not always using force.

I thought about it, so, if you don’t comply, I’ll beat you.

If you comply, the situation will be different.

Then we’ll have a mother-son relationship, if you encounter trouble, as your Consort Mother, I’ll protect you; even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you!

From now on...

Those you dare not provoke, I’ll provoke!

Those you dare not hit, I’ll hit!

No taboos, maternal love like a mountain!

This is my promise to you, from Gu Qingyi!"

Chen Yan dumbly said, "What do you mean?"

"I can let you walk sideways (fearlessly)."

"...," Chen Yan wiped his face, his expression becoming sincere:

"I’ve wandered half a lifetime... if you don’t mind..."

·

[Hmm... no one saw this twist coming, right?

In a blink, a childhood betrothal turns into a stepmother.

So, did I unknowingly write stepmother romance? (manually inserting a doge head emoji)]
