Of course, the explosion wasn’t a real one—it was just that kind of intense sensation.
Nonetheless, Yun Mu’s clothes were already blasted into shreds.
Lying on the bed, drenched in sweat, Yun Mu felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and strength.
Could it be that he had already succeeded?
Without any delay, Yun Mu clenched his teeth, sat back down in meditation, silently recited the “Heavenly Dragon True Technique,” and returned to his cultivation space.
There, the vibrant Spiritual Power flowed through his meridians like water, converging in one particular place, which was brimming with energy.
There was no need to guess—this was the Qi Sea.
But much to Yun Mu’s astonishment, perhaps because he had used the top-grade spiritual stone for Foundation Establishment, his Qi Sea was now twice as big as it had been on the Star Continent!
How wonderful!
The larger the Qi Sea, the more Spiritual Power it can contain, and the brighter the cultivator’s future will be!
Yun Mu was exhilarated, and just at that moment, the door to the room was kicked open with a bang.
“Yun Mu, what are you doing in there?”
It turned out that Qingcheng had heard the noise from the room.
The moment of successful Foundation Establishment had compressed a massive amount of Spiritual Energy into a tiny space, causing an explosive noise, so it was no wonder Qingcheng was startled.
Upon pushing the door open, Qingcheng saw Yun Mu lying there, naked, with fragments of clothes and an odd stone scattered across the floor.
“Ah, pervert!” Qingcheng’s face flushed with embarrassment.
Suddenly, someone burst into the room, startling Yun Mu as well.
Having just endured the painful process of Foundation Establishment, he started to hallucinate.
The beautiful Qingcheng, who looked like an angel in front of him, suddenly transformed into his senior sister in Yun Mu’s eyes, stirring his emotions.
“Sister, sister…” Yun Mu climbed out of bed, relentlessly advancing towards Qingcheng.
In the past, Yun Mu, the bumpkin, would have scurried away obediently at the sound of her scolding.
But now, he was approaching her as if he had the audacity of a leopard and would not back down.
Out of desperation, Qingcheng grabbed an ashtray from nearby and smashed it hard onto Yun Mu’s head.
Yun Mu reeled from the pain and snapped back to reality.
Seeing Qingcheng standing before him and realizing he was completely undressed, Yun Mu felt embarrassed and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Just then, a voice came from the direction of the main door.
“Uncle Qing, you’re back?” The voice belonged to Wen Jia.
“Oh, I ended the vacation early because I was worried about you and Chengcheng. Where is Chengcheng?” A robust male voice rang out, aged yet full of vitality.
“She’s in the guest room!”
Hearing this voice, Qingcheng panicked, “My dad is back, hurry up and get dressed!”
Soon after, a middle-aged man about one meter eighty tall appeared at the doorway, smiling warmly at the two people inside.
The man sported a neatly trimmed beard, wore a well-tailored casual suit, and his fine-framed glasses added both a scholarly touch and a spirited look, clearly a man who cared about the finer things in life.
Upon seeing Yun Mu inside the room, the man was slightly taken aback.
“Chengcheng, who is this?” the man asked.
Qingcheng couldn’t help but smile awkwardly as she introduced, “This is the childhood sweetheart I mentioned to you before, the son of the Yun Family from the capital, Yun Mu.”
“So you are Yun Mu, truly a handsome talent, welcome!” The man quickly extended his right hand politely, wanting to shake hands with Yun Mu.
Yun Mu hadn’t expected Qingcheng to introduce him this way, so he had no choice but to also shake the man’s hand, forcing himself to say, “Hello, uncle.”
“Oh, such a sweet greeting; I am Qingcheng’s father, Qing Ke. In the future, we’re all family, so there’s no need for such formality.”
Yun Mu was relieved to see that although the man had elegant manners, he was lively and easy to talk to.
However, what neither of them expected was that Qing Ke’s next words would shock them both.
“Um… Since you and Chengcheng have been engaged since childhood, why not… why not just get married and have children as soon as possible!” Qing Ke said with a smile.
“Dad, what are you saying?” Qingcheng was almost furious with her father’s words.
What kind of father is in such a rush to marry off his daughter?
When Yun Mu heard Qing Ke say this, he almost choked.
He thought to himself how direct this old man was— they had just met, and he was already pushing his daughter to marry and have children with him?
“You two have been childhood sweethearts, and now that you’re both in your twenties, it’s the perfect time to get married. Is it wrong for an elder to urge you a bit?”
Qing Ke sternly scolded Qingcheng, whose mouth was pouting high. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“Impossible, I would never marry this little ruffian!” Qingcheng snapped, unable to take it anymore: “I won’t marry him, unless the sun rises in the west.”
Fuming, Qingcheng stormed back to her second-floor bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Even Yun Mu found it unbelievable: “Qing…
Uncle Qing, I think we should take our time with this…
Isn’t everything moving a bit too fast?
We’ve just met!”
“Ha ha…
This was decided when you and Qingcheng were very young, so how could it be too fast?”
Qing Ke then solemnly said, “Since it’s a childhood engagement, if you are a man, you should take on a man’s responsibility.
I plan to entrust Chengcheng entirely to you, so you can protect her for a lifetime!”
Yun Mu was clearly moved by Qing Ke’s sincerity and reluctantly agreed.
Yun Mu thought to himself that it wasn’t such a bad deal, having such a beautiful wife was the good karma of his eight lifetimes, a dream he couldn’t even have.
“Better today than on some later date; you two should consummate the marriage today, as for the wedding and all its complicated procedures, we can sort that out later!” Qing Ke cheerfully said.
Hearing this, Yun Mu almost had a nosebleed, thinking to himself how understanding his future father-in-law was.
Could it be that he was in a hurry to have grandchildren?
Even if he was eager to have grandchildren, that would still take at least ten months, right?
At dinner time, because Qingcheng was still angry, she didn’t come downstairs.
Qing Ke had the kitchen prepare some of Qingcheng’s favorite snacks and had Yun Mu take them upstairs.
“Go and take some snacks to Chengcheng, have a good chat, and then…” Qing Ke patted Yun Mu’s shoulder and said, “You don’t need to come back down!”
Bringing food was one thing, but for this old man to tell him not to come back down?
It was practically having Yun Mu fill in the blanks himself!
“Uncle Qing… is this, is this really okay?” Yun Mu said with an embarrassed look.
Normally, he was never this soft with girls, especially those who came knocking on his door; Yun Mu would always gladly accept.
But faced with his future father-in-law’s kind intentions, Yun Mu felt as nervous as a little rabbit hiding in his heart.
“What’s there to fear for a young man?” Qing Ke summed up: “With uncle’s many years of experience dealing with women, you need to be steady, accurate, and ruthless.
As long as you manage these three steps, you can basically seal the deal.”
Yun Mu listened to this advice only half understanding, but unable to withstand his father-in-law’s “courtesy,” he still entered Wu Rou’s bedroom.
