Chapter 216: 215: Marriage by Fingertip (Thanks to book friend Little Reindeer for the reward of the Alliance Leader)_1
“This is my house.”
“Then I’ll use the force behind me, making it impossible for you to move an inch!”
“I’m a disciple of the Seek Dao Sect.”
“Then I’ll accuse you in the Seek Dao Sect of forcing an innocent woman into debauchery!”
“Spreading rumors could get you imprisoned.”
“Then the two you brought with you today are in danger!”
“Be my guest, one of them is the fourth disciple of our Sect Leader, and the other is the eldest son of the Meng Family.”
“Then I will…”
Li Haoran’s parents didn’t expect Qin Yanyan to fight back so boldly. Despite their status as elders in the family, their Cultivation Level was the lowest among those present.
Su Yiren grabbed Qin Yanyan’s shoulder from behind, trying to calm her down: “Yanyan, I know that you are having a hard time accepting the marriage arrangement right now. Why don’t you give Haoran a chance? Maybe you…”
“There is no maybe!” Qin Yanyan threw off Su Yiren’s hand, her fury flaring like a small lioness.
“Mom, did you get my consent before arranging this marriage?!”
“You weren’t even born then.”
“But you didn’t inform me about it even after I was born, only telling me a few days ago!” Qin Yanyan recalled the shock she felt a few days ago when her gentle and soft-spoken mother suddenly informed her about the arranged marriage. It had hit her like a bolt out of the blue.
You could have at least told me earlier!
That way, I wouldn’t be caught off guard and not know how to retaliate.
Su Yiren was speechless. Seeing her mother like this, Qin Yanyan’s anger escalated: “In any case, I do not agree to this marriage!”
Qin Yanyan pointed at Li Haoran: “I’m leaving you some dignity. Call off the marriage now and we can consider the matter closed!”
Li Haoran was also angered. If they had discussed it calmly and she didn’t want to fulfil the marriage proposal, then breaking it off would be acceptable. But her high-handed, lawless attitude was too much: “Just because you say we should break it off, we break it off?”
He enunciated each word: “I’ll tell you this, I will never break off this marriage in my lifetime!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanyan was instantly incensed.
“Today, whether you want to break off this marriage arrangement or not, I will make you break it off! Sky Light Talisman!”
Qin Yanyan pulled out a talisman, which transformed into a beam of white light and sped towards Li Haoran.
Li Haoran donned his fist guards and with a punch, sent the beam of light flying.
“Let’s get out of the way.” Lu Yang called everyone to retreat a bit further.
“Shouldn’t we stop them?” Li Haoran’s parents and Su Yiren were all worried about the fighting parties.
“They are both angry. Let them fight it out and vent their anger.” Lu Yang said with a smile.
Su Yiren felt that Lu Yang made sense, and cast a spell to protect the Li’s new house from getting damaged in the fight.
Both Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan noticed Su Yiren’s gesture, and thus, they unleashed their full powers and fought in earnest.
Li Haoran took out a long lance from his storage space. This was his best-refined weapon. The lance sparks as it scratched the ground.
Qin Yanyan, unknowingly, had many talismans in her hand. She aimed at Li Haoran and launched one: “Dawn Talisman!”
Li Haoran took a step forward, lifted the lance, and the Dawn Talisman was cut off before it could unleash its power.
“Break!”
The lance moved like a swimming dragon in battle. Every move he made was exuding dominance. The speed at which he handled his weapon exceeded the speed of sound. The breaking sound occurred, and the spearhead was less than three inches from Qin Yanyan.
Qin Yanyan’s pupils contracted. She wouldn’t be able to dodge this strike: “Vajra Talisman!”
With a swift jerk of her head to the right, the spear tip grazed her shoulder, making a metallic impact sound.
Qin Yanyan bit her finger, drew a symbol in the air with her blood as a medium, and a large hammer appeared above Li Haoran’s head.
“Smash!”
Li Haoran had no choice but to raise his lance and resist. The hammer’s force was too hefty that it numbed Li Haoran’s hands and he dropped his lance.
“Drawing symbols in mid-air, what a strong talent for talisman crafting!” Watching Qin Yanyan use talisman after talisman like it cost nothing, Lu Yang initially assumed those were given by her family. Based on the talent she exhibited, these talismans were probably her own work.
“Now that you’re weaponless, how will you fight!” Qin Yanyan activated the Speed Talisman and turned into a flash of lightning. She leaned forward and rushed towards Li Haoran.
Li Haoran said nothing but swung out his fists. He was not the kind of cultivator who preferred fighting with a weapon. His true strength lay in Refining!
Qin Yanyan drew out three Vajra Talismans, intending to block Li Haoran’s punch, only to have her barrier, formed by the Vajra Talismans, refined by Li Haoran on the spot. He ripped apart the barrier and kicked Qin Yanyan away.
Qin Yanyan seized the opportunity to grab Li Haoran’s ankle and slammed it towards the ground.
She used the Power Enhancement Talisman to temporarily strengthen her body. Though her body would ache for a while afterward, she didn’t care about that now!
Li Haoran smoothly placed both hands on the ground to change his landing posture and performed a move called rabbit kicking hawk, kicking her back.
Qin Yanyan was no ordinary person either. Most Talisman Masters specialize in long-range attacks and would lose if engaged in close combat, but she was an exception, having practiced close combat techniques.
Both began to engage in close combat, going blow for blow, without showing any mercy.
Suddenly, Li Haoran feigned a move, then swiftly smashed his head against Qin Yanyan’s. Qin Yanyan, caught off guard by this abrupt strike, felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.
“Enhanced hair?!” Lu Yang was stunned. This scene seemed all too familiar. In the exchange meeting with the Five Elements Sect, Meng Jingzhou had used this shameless move to defeat his opponent.
Meng Jingzhou was even more shocked. Refining one’s hair was the unique skill of the Third Elder, and the training conditions were extremely rigorous. Where and how did Li Haoran learn it?
Noticing both their faces, Li Haoran smiled and took off his wig.
If one can refine their body to the level of hair, then refining a wig naturally follows.
“Seeing Senior Brother Meng use that move to defeat his opponent was quite enlightening, but I’m not a Body Refinement Practitioner. I can’t refine my hair. So, I shaved my head and created a wig. Looking at it today, it seems to work quite well.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
You’re pretty brutal to yourself.
Qin Yanyan laid on the ground, looking at Li Haoran shamelessly wear a wig, overcome with a mix of anger and sadness. She felt like crying but held back her tears.
“You’ve won. Go ahead and marry my mom! I won’t stand in your way! Do whatever you want! But I will never call you dad!”
Li Haoran: “!!!”
Before he could even enjoy his victory, he was dumbfounded by her heavy proclamation.
“Marrying…” Li Haoran murmured, before screeching, “Your mom?!”
Turning to his parents and a blushing Su Yiren, Li Haoran said: “Mom, wasn’t it agreed that this was to be a betrothal?”
Li Haoran’s mother avoided his gaze, unable to look at her son directly: “Yes, that’s right. Su Yiren pointed to my belly back then, saying that she wanted to marry you.”
“Is that how a pre-birth betrothal is interpreted?!”
“Hand me some sunflower seeds.” Lu Yang snatched half of the seeds from Meng Jingzhou’s hand, and the two began cracking them open like squirrels.
Lu Yang pondered: “A woman marrying younger than her, what do they call it again?”
