Three days later, in the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
On a long table made of Golden Nanmu Wood, a golden scroll several meters long was spread out.
The scroll was densely covered with detailed resumes of the top Prodigies from various major forces across the continent.
“Take a look. All the top Genius women on the continent, under eighteen or just over twenty, are here.”
“In three days, the intelligence department put in a lot of effort, using hidden agents, merchant associations, and even underground black market channels to ensure nothing was missed.”
“Everyone, speak your minds.”
Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, holding a cup of tea, a smile he couldn’t suppress on his face.
Sword Douluo sat on his left, Bone Douluo on his right, and below them stood the top five influential Elders of the Sect.
“Sect Master, look at this one from the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire, the Hell Civet Spirit, a top-grade agility-attack system.”
The Third Elder pointed to a name, spittle flying.
“If she were to combine with our Eldest Young Master, the offspring might just produce a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with wings, fast and able to heal!”
“Too narrow-minded!”
The Second Elder waved his hands repeatedly, pointing in the direction of Spirit Hall.
“Hu Liena, that one from the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall, the Charming Fox Spirit, a mutated spiritual System.”
“If we brought her over, our next generation would directly come with spiritual control amplification!”
These old men were discussing heatedly, their faces red and necks thick.
They weren’t discussing the Young Master’s marriage; they were completely planning a large-scale Spirit Bloodline Fusion experiment.
Of course, there were also different perspectives.
For example, the Grand Elder’s suggestion.
“Huo Wu of the Huo Family, with the Fire Shadow Spirit. This girl has excellent talent, and the Huo Family values her highly, so she’s not bad!”
Gu Rong interjected from the side:
“This girl has a fierce temper. If she’s brought back to the Sect, can Tian’er keep her in check? What if she sets the bridal chamber on fire?”
The Third Elder seized the opportunity to interject:
“No, no, no, men often like fierce tempers.”
“The fiercer she is, the more interesting she is to tame.”
Gu Rong couldn’t help but laugh and curse, “You old rascal.”
“You old rascal.”
“Why bother choosing?”
The Fourth Elder suddenly slammed the table, making the teacups clatter.
“What kind of wealth does our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School possess? We’ll just send people to the Star Luo Imperial Family, Spirit Hall, and those Families, and propose marriage simultaneously!”
“Agreed!”
Gu Rong loudly echoed from the side, patting the Fourth Elder’s shoulder with his withered hand.
“Old Fourth’s words are to my liking! Cast a wide net across the continent. For those who are willing, we’ll shower them with money. For those who aren’t, I’ll personally go to their homes to ‘reason’ with them and tie them all back as young mistresses!”
The Fourth Elder was greatly encouraged and high-fived Gu Rong on the spot, planning to form a group and go down the mountain to pull off a big one.
“Alright, alright, where did this conversation go?”
Ning Fengzhi rubbed his temples, interrupting their bandit-like remarks.
The deity demanded the propagation of excellent Bloodlines; making a big fuss was one thing, but simultaneously provoking all major forces across the continent was foolish.
Even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had broken through to rank ninety-seven, they couldn’t withstand making enemies everywhere.
Ning Fengzhi tapped the table with his finger, raising his voice:
“Marriage alliances require legitimacy.”
“Moreover, although we’re discussing it here, the most important thing is that Tian’er himself finds her pleasing to the eye.”
“If he doesn’t nod, he won’t be motivated, and a person won’t produce good offspring in bed, right?”
As soon as his voice fell, the heavy wooden doors of the main hall were pushed open.
Ning Tian walked in, yawning, his clothes loose, clearly having just climbed out of a maid’s soft couch.
“Tian’er, you’re finally here.”
Ning Fengzhi waved at him.
“All the suitable Prodigies we’ve collected are on the roster; pick one yourself.”
Ning Tian swayed forward, his gaze falling on the scroll stitched with gold thread.
The Elders nearby thought he was diligently reading the names, but in reality, the many children many blessings system in Ning Tian’s mind had been fully activated.
The System automatically extracted the names from the roster, converting them into lifelike 3D holographic projections of stunning beauties, arranged in a row directly before Ning Tian’s retina, accompanied by extremely detailed private data.
Ning Tian swallowed.
This scene was truly stimulating.
The first projection turned.
It was a cold and beautiful girl in a black tight-fitting leather suit, with an extremely exaggerated figure, her leather suit almost bursting.
[Name: Zhu Zhuqing]
[Rating: 93]
[Identity: Second Miss of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire]
[Spirit: Hell Civet]
[Data: 168cm, 92/58/98]
[Thunderbolt: E-]
[Interface Count: 0]
[Weakness: Not yet captured, cannot view.]
“A great catch.”
“Right now, it’s E-, but with a little more effort, wouldn’t it be E+?”
Ning Tian secretly marveled, but he quickly swiped past.
Then, he looked at the second projection.
Red high heels, fiery and wild, with very little fabric on her clothes, her curves almost spilling out.
[Name: Huo Wu]
[Rating: 91]
[Identity: Fire-attribute Family, Holy Maiden of the Huo Family]
[Spirit: Fire Shadow]
[Data: 172cm, 88/60/95]
[Thunderbolt: C+]
[Interface Count: 0]
[Weakness: Not yet captured, cannot view.]
Too hot-tempered, no thanks.
Ning Tian directly rejected her.
Then, the third projection popped up.
This was a stunning girl in a form-fitting ice-blue long dress.
In the projection, her skin was luminously white, exuding an extreme aloofness that kept people at a distance.
Her long black hair cascaded to her waist, her demeanor proud and pure.
Yet, the curves outlined beneath her form-fitting long dress were extremely exaggerated, especially the astonishing front-and-back proportions, which completely contradicted her aloof appearance.
[Name: Shui Bing’er]
[Rating: 96]
[Identity: Heaven Water Academy Chief, Holy Maiden of the Shui Family]
[Spirit: Ice Phoenix (Innate full spirit power, top-tier ice-attribute Spirit)]
[Data: 173cm, 96/55/105]
[Thunderbolt: D+]
[Interface Count: 0]
[Weakness: Not yet captured, cannot view.]
Ning Tian stared intently at the “D+” and the astonishing “105,” stopping completely.
“Could this be the feeling of lust at first sight… oh no, love at first sight?”
“It’s her.”
Ning Tian pointed to the “Heaven Water Academy” section on the scroll.
A group of heads immediately gathered around.
“Shui Bing’er?”
Gu Rong glanced at it, pouting with some disdain.
“Tian’er, this girl’s talent is indeed good; an Ice Phoenix is rarely seen in a hundred years.”
“But the Shui Family is just a second-rate Family, and she comes from the Shui Family.”
“For your first marriage, marrying her, wouldn’t the ceremony be a bit small?”
Gu Rong patted the other end of the scroll, earnestly persuading:
“Look at the Holy Maiden candidates from Spirit Hall, or that Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire, even a few princesses from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would do.”
“Pick someone with a stronger background, so our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have more prestige when we propose marriage!”
“Grandpa Gu, I just like this type.”
Ning Tian completely ignored that, “I just feel that my first wife, in the depths of my destiny, is her.”
Ning Tian was very firm, with no thought of changing his mind.
“Eldest Young Master, choosing this Shui Bing’er might be a bit troublesome.”
The Third Elder stepped forward with a worried expression.
“Spit it out.”
Ning Tian was a bit impatient.
“News from the Deacon Hall indicates that Shui Bing’er is a complete Cultivation fanatic.”
The Third Elder lowered his voice, afraid of offending this living ancestor.
“She once declared in front of the Shui Family’s higher-ups that if she doesn’t reach the Titled Douluo realm in this life, she will never discuss matters of love.”
The Third Elder sighed heavily:
“Moreover, the Shui Family has fully agreed to her request.”
“After all, they are only one Titled Douluo away from becoming a first-rate Family.”
“Now, the entire Shui Family regards her as their sole hope for ascending to a first-rate Family.”
“If we go to propose marriage, it’s highly likely that they, from top to bottom, will not agree.”
“Not agree?”
Ning Fengzhi tapped the table, seemingly contemplating the feasibility.
“What if we apply strong pressure?”
The Fourth Elder’s fiery temper flared up again, his fists cracking.
“Do not act rashly.”
The Third Elder quickly waved his hand to explain.
“Although the Shui Family is only second-rate, they are closely linked with other second-rate elemental Families like the Huo Family and the Feng Clan, advancing and retreating together. What’s more troublesome is that among these elemental Families, they have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a lightning-attribute backing them.”
“The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the Upper Three Sects, and that old Dragon Yu Yuanzhen is very protective of his own.”
“If our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to forcefully pressure the Shui Family for a woman, it would likely provoke a united backlash from these elemental academies and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.”
After these words, the hall immediately fell silent.
Several Elders exchanged glances, beginning to weigh whether this venture was worthwhile.
Ning Tian scoffed when he heard this.
“Father, I listened to your words and carefully picked one.”
Ning Tian casually dragged a chair over and sat down, crossing his legs.
“What? As soon as I finished choosing, you started giving me difficulties and setting conditions?”
Ning Tian spread his hands, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
“What Five Great Elemental Academies, what Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Do I really have to consider others’ opinions if I fall in love with a woman?”
“If it’s that much trouble, I won’t marry this wife, and I won’t have these children.”
Ning Tian leaned back in his chair, adopting a posture of giving up entirely.
Upon hearing these words, the Elders were even more terrified, not daring to breathe loudly.
And Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo’s old faces stiffened even further.
While other Elders might not know, how could these three not know?
This matter was demanded by a god!
Tian’er had made his choice; if it didn’t succeed, would it anger the god behind them?
If the god became angry, would they take back the miracle that evolved Spirits?
Would they stop liking Tian’er from then on?
At that point, there would be nowhere to cry.
“Tian’er is right!”
The three exchanged glances, and Chen Xin, who had been silent, stepped forward.
Chen Xin’s white robes moved without wind, and he drew a line in the air with his finger.
“What Shui Family, what Elemental Family alliance, what Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.”
Chen Xin’s tone was calm.
“If they dare to object, this old man will personally visit each of their families.”
Chen Xin turned his head, looking fixedly at Ning Fengzhi.
“Fengzhi, prepare the betrothal gifts.”
“If the Shui Family is sensible, they will happily accept the betrothal gifts and send the person in the bridal sedan. If they are not sensible…”
Chen Xin snorted coldly, and a phantom of the Seven Kill Sword, enveloped in dark red light, surged from behind him.
“My sword hasn’t tasted blood in a long time.”
“Let’s see if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan dares to go to war with me for the sake of a mere Shui Family!”
