Chapter 727: "If You Marry Her, the Bai Family Will Only Rise Higher"

"We, the Bai family, would never fear a few lightning bolts!"

As soon as Bai Xiangyu finished speaking, the members of the Bai family had already prepared to defend against the lightning.

But Nanli glanced at the sky and, with a flick of his hand, pushed forward. The bolt of lightning didn’t strike down but instead rumbled in the sky.

At first, Bai Xiangyu thought Nanli hadn’t controlled it properly, but his expression quickly changed. "Father, watch out!"

But it was already too late.

"Hahahaha—"

With a loud, mad laugh from Cinian, he landed, and the Buddhist beads in his hand bound Bai Peng tightly.

As long as Bai Peng struggled, the beads would flash with light and constrict even tighter.

Bai Peng’s anger caused smoke to rise from his head. "This is cheating! Old bald donkey, when did you become so shameless, asking others to strike lightning for you!"

Cinian stroked his beard, looking completely indifferent.

"We didn’t agree on a one-on-one fight. The old monk didn’t cheat."

Bai Peng became even angrier.

His eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to slice Cinian into pieces.

Cinian turned his head away, pretending not to see, and praised Nanli again. "Nanli, you’ve handled that lightning strike perfectly. Without it, we might still be fighting without a clear winner."

Although they were fighting, neither of them had taken a life-threatening blow, and it was difficult to determine the victor in such a short time.

Nanli lowered his hand and smiled. "No need to thank me."

Bai Peng glared at Nanli, swearing under his breath, "It’s you!? You, a child, helping that old bald donkey play dirty tricks! Shameless to the extreme!"

Bai Xiangyu’s temper was a bit better than Bai Peng’s, but he could still be easily provoked.

He frowned. "This is too much! Father, I will immediately summon Uncle Ancestor to come out and deal with them!"

He was determined to slaughter them all.

Lord Meng felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

If the Bai family’s ancestor came out, it would not be a trivial matter.

Cinian might not be able to block the ancestor’s attack even with all his strength.

This was also the foundation of the Bai family’s dominance in Jiuzhou Town.

To everyone’s surprise, Bai Peng turned to his son and swore, "Did your brain get kicked by a donkey? Such a trivial matter, and you want to bother your Uncle Ancestor!"

Bai Xiangyu looked aggrieved. "But... but Father..."

Aren’t you tied up right now?

Isn’t this a life-or-death moment?

Bai Peng couldn’t be bothered to listen to his son and shouted to Cinian, "Old bald donkey, why don’t you remove your magic tool!"

"Alright, don’t make another move. It’s quite draining on my spiritual energy."

Cinian stretched out his hand, and the Buddhist beads shrank, hanging back around his neck.

Bai Peng snorted and stretched his body, giving Cinian a sharp glare. "You can’t even handle one person properly; who else should I hit?"

Cinian helplessly responded, "How could I have anticipated that she would be so vicious? But don’t be too sad, after all these years, your biological daughter may no longer be alive."

"Old bald donkey!"

Not only Bai Peng but also Bai Xiangyu and the rest of the Bai family could not stand to hear this. They used their spiritual power, ready to attack.

The oppressive pressure almost suffocated the onlookers.

Chu Yang, who had just begun Base Building, paled.

Zhou Zida and Qiao Erbao, who were still in the Qi Refining stage, couldn’t bear the pressure and had blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.

Lord Meng was thrilled at the sight, silently chanting, "Fight, hurry and fight!"

But at that moment, Nanli’s crisp voice interrupted.

"Lord Bai, your Triple Yang is full, your Tears Hall is rich, which means your biological daughter is still alive. In the future, you will meet her again."

The tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Bai Peng stared at Nanli with a scrutinizing gaze. "You can read faces too?"

"Yes." Nanli nodded. "Feng Shui, face reading, fortune-telling, astrology, exorcism, and demon-slaying are all side jobs of mine."

Bai Peng raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me, when will I be reunited with my daughter?"

Nanli frowned as if lost in thought.

Bai Xiangyu interjected, "Father, she’s just a street hoodlum. She doesn’t have such abilities; don’t believe her!"

Bai Peng grew angry again. "You dare trick me!"

Nanli’s lips twitched. "Are you really the head of the Bai family? You don’t seem like it."

How can you have such a short temper?

You believe others’ words so easily and don’t have any judgment at all?

Cinian sighed and said, "It’s because the Lord Bai was the only heir. His father only had this one son. It’s not surprising."

Nanli looked as if he understood, "Well, then it’s no wonder."

"What did you just say?!" Bai Peng shouted. "Old bald donkey, you’ve defamed me!"

"Well, I wouldn’t exactly call it defamation," Nanli responded. "After all, having good luck in reincarnation is a skill in itself. Not everyone can be born with a fortune that includes vast wealth and the title of family head to inherit."

Bai Peng changed his expression, becoming more amiable. "You, little girl, actually have some insight."

He then added, "Xiangyu, give her some reward money."

Bai Xiangyu rolled his eyes slightly but reminded, "Father, she’s a street hoodlum, she was even teasing me earlier."

Bai Peng looked Nanli up and down, then glanced at Bai Xiangyu. "With such a beautiful girl teasing you, aren’t you secretly happy?"

He paused before continuing, "Heh, little girl, I see your Dao bones are extraordinary. You really have some qualifications to be my Bai family’s daughter-in-law."

Nanli could only feel helpless.

No wonder the younger generation is so self-absorbed; they’ve learned it from the old generation.

Cinian clicked his tongue twice and said, "What are you talking about? Nanli is already married!"

Bai Peng, knowing Nanli’s background, raised his eyebrows. "You’ve embarked on the path of cultivation. Your previous husband is no match for you. You should divorce him and find another partner."

He pulled his son over and introduced him seriously, "Look, my son is only 231 years old, but he’s already at the Golden Core mid-stage. His Golden Core cultivation is different from those ordinary people. He’s built his strength step by step. If you don’t believe it, you can spar with him and see how powerful he is."

Bai Xiangyu’s face turned red, feeling extremely awkward. "Father, what are you doing? She comes from the Human World and has offended several major sects. She is not a good match for me."

Bai Peng gave him a stern look and said angrily,

"Shut up! So what if she comes from the Human World? Back then, there were no formations or barriers here, and it was all part of the Nine States!"

"You’ve been single for so many years, and now that I’m arranging a marriage for you, you shouldn’t be complaining."

"Remember, her origins don’t matter. What matters is her abilities! Our Bai family lacks a Talisman Cultivator. If you marry her, the Bai family will rise even higher! Even if several major sects want to target her, the benefits outweigh the risks!"

The Bai family valued talent, not family background.

It was because Nanli came from the Human World but had already broken through to the Golden Core stage, and the thunderbolt she wielded earlier was incredibly powerful. That had truly surprised him.
