"Young Madam, you cannot go out!" one of the two guards watching Xiao Jingwen's courtyard exclaimed as she ran out.
"My boyfriend is here, I'm going to the main gate to pick him up. Someone go inform the Family Head to bring people to the martial arts arena to wait," Xiao Jingwen said coldly.
The two exchanged glances. One guard followed Xiao Jingwen, while the other ran off to inform the Family Head.
After saying this, Xiao Jingwen ignored the guards and sprinted towards the main gate. Although she had only begun cultivating recently, she had already reached the early stage of the Profound Martial Realm. She had started practicing even earlier than Ouyang Yixue.
Precisely because she had cultivated for such a short time yet progressed so quickly, upon returning for this vacation, the Xiao family had tested Xiao Jingwen's physique. This test brought great joy to the Xiao family; she possessed a rare constitution, one in a million: the Moon Spirit Body.
The Xiao family, believing themselves powerful, naturally did not hide this. Thus, the Yang family learned of it and came to propose marriage.
In fact, the relationship between the Yang family and the Xiao family was quite close. When the old ancestor of the Xiao family celebrated his birthday, the Yang family had sent representatives. Yang Zhenyun, one of the top figures among the younger generation of the Yang family, had taken a liking to Xiao Jingwen. However, although Yang Zhenyun's cultivation was decent, the Xiao family did not truly take him seriously, as he was at best a top-five contender among the Yang family's younger generation.
The top three among the Yang family's new generation were Yang Qingyun, Yang Kai, and Yang Fantian. Besides them, there were several others similar to Yang Zhenyun who could contend for fourth or fifth place.
When the Yang family revealed that Xiao Jingwen's constitution was the Moon Spirit Body, they began to take it more seriously. They directly dispatched a rather impressive delegation, bringing Yang Qingyun to propose marriage. This was because Yang Qingyun and Xiao Jingwen's physiques were exceptionally compatible; to use a single phrase, they were a match made in heaven.
However, the Xiao family still refused. For the Yang family, this union offered many benefits, but what benefit did it bring to the Xiao family? If Xiao Jingwen were still uninterested in cultivation and unaware of her Moon Spirit Body, the Xiao family would absolutely have agreed. Yang Qingyun's future was boundless, and he was destined to become the next leader of the Yang family. Marrying such a young and outstanding talent would bring immense benefits to the Xiao family. But now that Xiao Jingwen was ambitious, her cultivation speed, despite starting late, was incredibly fast due to the Moon Spirit Body. This was unacceptable. They wanted a son-in-law to join their family, or if the suitor was a prodigy from the Spirit Realm, then perhaps it could be considered. Otherwise, they would have to think of something else.
Before long, Xiao Jingwen spotted a car with a Blueseas City license plate parked not far from the main gate of the Xiao family. She had ridden in this car many times and naturally recognized it as her boyfriend Yang Feilong's car!
Upon seeing Xiao Jingwen arrive at the gate, Yang Feilong emerged from the car.
Seeing Yang Feilong, Xiao Jingwen rushed towards him, tears welling up involuntarily.
"Don't cry. What happened?" Yang Feilong asked with concern, seeing Xiao Jingwen's distressed appearance. He could tell she was genuinely heartbroken.
Clearly, the situation might be more complicated than what was mentioned on the phone.
"Husband, my family has abandoned me!" Xiao Jingwen sobbed.
"What's going on?" Yang Feilong's brows furrowed, and he spoke in a deep voice. He felt the situation was not as simple as he had imagined.
Xiao Jingwen then quickly recounted the entire incident.
"The Yang family." Yang Feilong's eyes narrowed slightly. "The Yang family again!"
Yang Feilong was also quite surprised by Xiao Jingwen's constitution, calling it the rare Moon Spirit Body. It was on the same level as the Snow Lotus Body, second only to extremely rare constitutions like the Sun Body and Moon Body.
Of course, compared to the Glazed Body or the Yin-Yang Body, the gap was slightly larger, but even so, it was still an exceptionally extraordinary constitution.
At this moment, Yang Feilong understood why Xiao Jingwen's cultivation speed was so fast. She hadn't cultivated for long, yet she had already broken through to the Profound Martial Realm!
Everything made sense now!
Similarly, although he disliked the Yang family's proposal, he had to admit that if the Moon Spirit Body and the Sun Body were combined, their offspring could indeed possess the Sun-Moon Body, which was not much inferior to the Yin-Yang Body and slightly stronger than the single Sun Body or Moon Body.
Furthermore, with dual cultivation techniques, the Moon Spirit Body and the Sun Body could achieve twice the results with half the effort.
But if you wanted to find other women, that would be one thing. Finding *his* woman? Yang Feilong found the Yang family's actions utterly repugnant!
While he had some dissatisfaction with the Xiao family, he understood that the union offered little benefit to them. Of course, it wasn't entirely without benefits; at the very least, they could gain a powerful ally. However, for the Yang family, this ally was more of a disadvantage than an advantage.
It was true that they would have help, but this help was only dominant in the secular world. In the Spirit Realm, they were insignificant. The Xiao family was already a top-tier family in the secular world. With this marriage alliance, they could easily become subordinate to the Yang family. Even if they didn't become subservient, their situation wouldn't improve compared to before.
Thus, it was better not to have the alliance!
"Let's go!" Yang Feilong took a deep breath and said.
"You think so too?" Hearing this, Xiao Jingwen's face lit up with joy. "Then hurry into the car, while our family hasn't reacted yet, let's elope quickly!"
"Elope?" Yang Feilong almost choked upon hearing Xiao Jingwen's words.
Nearby, a guard watching the two affectionately, holding a walkie-talkie, spoke with a melancholy expression. Young Madam, are you not considering me human? If I let you elope successfully, I fear I will face immense punishment when I return home!
Moreover, this is the Xiao family's territory. If I just shout, where could you two possibly escape?
Soon, the entire city would be hunting you down, and even experts of the Overlord Martial Realm and Venerable Martial Realm would be dispatched to capture you!
"Didn't you say you would elope with me?" Seeing Yang Feilong's astonished look, Xiao Jingwen asked, confused.
"When I said 'let's go,' I meant to go to your house and persuade your family!" Yang Feilong said with a helpless shrug.
"Persuade them?" Xiao Jingwen said with a sigh. "If they were easily persuaded, it would be great. Yesterday, I cried and threatened them, saying I would commit suicide if they dared to marry me off, but they remained unmoved!"
In reality, the Xiao family members were not entirely unmoved; they were all in a state of panic. However, they had not abandoned the idea, only attempting to change their strategy by persuading Xiao Jingwen.
Of course, in Xiao Jingwen's eyes, if they hadn't given up the idea, they were indeed unmoved.
"Don't worry, I wasn't here then. Now that I'm here, I'm confident I can persuade them!" Yang Feilong said with a smile. If persuasion doesn't work, then force them to submit. What else can be done?
Seeing Yang Feilong's confident demeanor, the anxious Xiao Jingwen felt greatly reassured. Her husband had never let her down, and this time would be no different. She believed in him!
"Then let's go to the martial arts arena, they should be waiting for us there!" Xiao Jingwen said.
With that, she linked her arm with Yang Feilong and walked towards the Xiao family's main gate.
The guard who had been watching nervously nearby breathed a sigh of relief. It was good they weren't eloping, otherwise, the situation would have escalated significantly!
"Sixth Brother, the Young Madam and her... boyfriend have gone in, towards the martial arts arena. Inform the Patriarch," the guard said into the walkie-talkie.
