Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Inside Tianbao City.

Xiao Yi and Little Lin had dug up the Ninth Grade Spirit Vein beneath Tianbao City and simultaneously slain the lord of Tianbao City, who was in the Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, obtaining a considerable amount of treasures from his vault.

More importantly...

They had obtained a secret letter from the hands of the lord of Tianbao City.

This secret letter was sent by Long Sihai to the lord of Tianbao City, and under Long Sihai's matchmaking, the young valley master of Galaxy Valley was to be engaged to Princess Qingping, Nantian Wen's daughter, with Galaxy Valley scheduled to send the betrothal gifts to the imperial capital in three days. In addition to the exact time and the route taken by the engagement delegation, the letter also listed the betrothal presents to be offered in the engagement.

Among them were a thousand Ninth Grade Spirit Veins!

Galaxy Valley is one of the oldest powers in the Nantian Dynasty, with a history that is said to predate the Nantian Dynasty.

All along.

Galaxy Valley has relied on its strong power and has always disregarded the royal family of the Nantian Dynasty.

Not until Nantian Wen took charge of the Nantian Dynasty did the royal power become highly centralized.

He even built the Nantian Holy Institute and gathered countless talented individuals, causing Galaxy Valley to experience increasingly difficult times.

That's why they reached out to Long Sihai through the lord of Tianbao City.

With Long Sihai mediating, they arranged this marriage.

Little Lin said, "Boss, if we snatch the engagement delegation, Nantian Wen is probably going to explode!"

"Not just Nantian Wen..."

Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head. With a wave of his hand, the secret letter burst into flames, and his eyes glinted with a cold fierceness, "This marriage is personally arranged by Long Sihai himself. If we ruin this marriage, it will be enough to give Long Sihai a really hard time."

He well remembered how overbearing and flamboyant Long Sihai had been in the Great Qian Dynasty.

If it hadn't been for Fang Qingzhu's timely appearance, both he and Little Lin might have fallen into the hands of that old man.

This was a vendetta of life and death!

It was not to be forgotten!

"Hahaha, I can't wait to see that old guy's face now..." Little Lin said excitedly.

"Let's go. We'll set an ambush right now on the route that the engagement delegation must take!" Xiao Yi said in a firm voice.

Little Lin nodded in agreement.

The two immediately flew towards the location indicated in the secret letter.

About half a day later,

they arrived at the place mentioned in the secret letter—the Stone Dragon Mountain, where the Galaxy Valley's engagement delegation must pass through.

"Boss, according to what the letter says, the people from Galaxy Valley will be able to reach Tianbao City in three days, which means they should arrive here tomorrow. We can rest easy for a day!" Little Lin, leaning against the treetop with a weed in his mouth and his legs crossed, said lazily.

The engagement delegation would certainly not travel at full speed.

And they would not travel at night either.

The two had come from Tianbao City to Stone Dragon Mountain, which had taken them half a day.

Based on the estimated speed of the Galaxy Valley's engagement delegation, they would indeed pass Stone Dragon Mountain around tomorrow afternoon. Xiao Yi nodded and said, "We have been running around a lot these days and are indeed quite tired, so let's rest up well. In this period, the chaos we've caused has been intense; the number of cities you and I have destroyed exceeds a hundred, which is enough to give Nantian Wen a headache. Once this is over, we'll head back!"

What he wanted to refine was the all-attribute Elixir of Life.

The number of Ninth Grade Spirit Veins required reached tens of thousands, and it clearly couldn't be achieved in a short period.

To take advantage of this trip to Nantian and seize all the Spirit Veins was obviously not feasible.

It must be done slowly and deliberately.

Little Lin nodded his head, and under the starry night, the two drifted into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Noon.

Between the trees, the faint chirping of cicadas could be heard. Suddenly, Xiao Yi opened his eyes and gently nudged Little Lin beside him. The pair looked under the tree and saw a Human Race couple sitting in the shade, the woman heavily pregnant, a picture of serenity. The man, with an honest face, was carefully attending to his wife.

With his large palms fanning her, he asked with concern, "My dear, would you like some water?"

"I'm not thirsty right now, husband. You should drink more yourself!" the woman said softly, gazing tenderly at the man before her, gently rubbing her belly and laughing, "Baby, half a day more and we'll be at your grandparents' home. You have to hold on, don't come out halfway!"

The honest man chuckled, "That's right, baby. If you come out early, daddy's going to spank your bottom!"

"Husband..."

The woman glared, pretending to be angry.

The honest man laughed sheepishly.

At that moment...

From ahead came the sound of horses' hooves, clearly a procession for a marriage proposal, and sitting atop the grand horse was Su Yi, the young master of Galaxy Valley. He lounged lazily on his horse, with a sharp-faced and a potbellied attendant on either side, followed by a hundred carriages laden with gifts for the marriage proposal.

Of course.

The truly valuable gifts were concealed within the groom's storage ring.

The carriages were just for show to impress common folk.

The couple under the tree watched the luxurious procession with wonder, and the honest man, holding his wife's hand, said, "My dear, I will work hard to earn money and give you and our baby a better life!"

"Silly husband, as long as our family is safe and sound, that's all that matters," the woman said gently.

Their conversation, however, reached Su Yi's ears.

The sharp-faced youth beside him chuckled and said, "Young master, look, on the way to propose, we've encountered such a loving couple. Doesn't this bode well for your match with Princess Qingping?"

"Hmm?"

Su Yi's eyes involuntarily narrowed, a flash of annoyance in his gaze.

The others were unaware.

But he knew all too well that Princess Qingping was the least favored among the Nantian Wen daughters and the most promiscuous princess.

It was said that in the capital, there were no less than a hundred talented young men who had had affairs with her.

Why would he marry such a woman, if not for Galaxy Valley?

And now a subordinate was talking about marital bliss in front of him?

Wasn't this a slap in the face?

This thought crossed his mind.

A hint of coldness spread across Su Yi's face, his look at the couple now filled with indifference and ferocity. His gaze suddenly fell on the woman's bulging abdomen, and with narrowed eyes, he smiled and said, "This journey is quite dull. Dare you make a bet with this young master?"

"Hmm?"

"A bet? On what?"

The sharp-faced and potbellied youths exchanged glances.

Su Yi pointed at the pregnant woman and spoke somberly, "Let's bet whether she's carrying a boy or a girl. If I win, after reaching the capital, you two will have to pay out of your own pockets to make arrangements for me... If I lose, all expenses in the capital will be on me!"

Hiss!

The two looked at each other.

They were very clear about Su Yi's personality. This trip's arrangements would cost at least tens to hundreds of millions of silver.

They were not willing to spend such money.

The sharp-faced youth hesitantly said, "Young master, the woman shows no sign of childbirth. How can we determine the gender inside her belly? We can't possibly wait until she gives birth, can we?"

The corners of Su Yi's mouth lifted slightly, a hint of cold light in his eyes as he said slowly, "If we cut open her belly and take out the child, won't we know whether it's a boy or a girl?"
