Chapter 295 The Cruel Fiancee 7
Chapter 295 The Cruel Fiancee 7
Knowing that he couldn't resist, Ji Yanli sat down obediently and followed the female cultivator's movements.
Of course, he felt that the treatment he received was entirely out of the old man's selfish revenge.
Humph, narrow-minded old man.
The old man with white beard sneezed again.
"Hey, Great Elder, didn't you come back with your little disciple? Where is he?"
"Oh, my little disciple is very ambitious. He locked himself in the stone chamber and said he would not come out until he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."
He grinned and said, "You guys brought a gift. Come on, give it to me. I'll give it to my apprentice first. This is a gift from his uncles. I can't refuse it. It would be awkward if I didn't."
The corners of others' lips twitched.
Due to the Great Elder's fighting power, no one dared to say anything.
Ji Yanli did have some talent, but even with this talent, he had to stay in the stone chamber for three full years before he could come out.
There was a restriction on the door to the stone chamber. Only when his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and he struck with all his strength could it be opened.
He looked at the clear blue sky and felt as if he was in another world.
"Not bad, brat!"
The old man with white beard stood on the edge of the mountain not far away and looked at him with a smile, "You didn't embarrass me, an old man."
Ji Yanli forced a hypocritical smile.
"It's all thanks to Master's good teaching."
The plastic master and apprentice had no chance to escape.
He spent another half a year to build his foundation. Although he no longer had to stay in the boring stone chamber, who could understand the feeling of closing your eyes and meditating one second and having the head of a smelly monster thrown into your mouth the next?
"Haha, you still need to practice more. Practice makes perfect. Otherwise, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will still be a fragile skin."
"Disciple, you must understand the good intentions of your master."
Ji Yanli bared his teeth, drew his sword and slashed at the roaring monster without hesitation.
At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you so much, Master."
After reaching the fifth level of foundation building, he left the sect, returned to the real world, and joined the law enforcement department.
On the one hand, he entered the world to practice cultivation, and on the other hand, he wanted to spend more time with his parents. Three to five years is the minimum for cultivation, and ten to twenty years is more common, but his parents cannot wait for him that long.
An ordinary person's life span is only a hundred years, and they have already lived most of it. Ji Yanli wants to stay with them for the rest of their life.
At the beginning, Wang Long was directly sentenced to death, and Geng Xue was sentenced to five years. The year Ji Yanli returned to the present world and joined the law enforcement department, Geng Xue was released from prison.
Wang Hongmei felt ashamed after she was arrested and never visited her once. When she came back, she had nothing nice to say.
Half a month after Geng Xue was released from prison, she began to arrange to find a marriage partner for Geng Xue.
Either they are remarried and have children, or they are very old. As for why they don't find younger ones, it's not that they can't find any, but those with wealthy families don't like Geng Xue, and those who like her have only a few money and can't afford much dowry.
How could Wang Hongmei be willing to do this?
"Second marriage is a second marriage. It will save you from being pressured into having children. Just raise the previous child as your own."
Otherwise:
"You know how to care for others when you are older. Mom has been through this before. You must listen to me—"
"Hey, Gengxue, I'm telling you, you have to marry me whether you want to or not, otherwise get out of here, and I'll pretend you're not my daughter!"
Geng Xue slammed the door, locked herself in the room, and covered her ears to avoid listening to Wang Hongmei's nagging.
She had once been the daughter-in-law of the wealthy Ji family. Wang Long might not be very good-looking, but he was a cultivator of high status. Now, how could Geng Xue agree to marry an ordinary person, especially one who was the least sought-after in the marriage market?
She is very ambitious!
Wang Hongmei didn't care about her. She made an appointment with the other party and dragged her out. Geng Xue was unwilling and struggled hard, but Wang Hongmei threatened her:
"If you don't go, I'll throw your things out right away. From now on, you can go wherever you want and marry whoever you want. I won't care anymore."
Geng Xue could only follow her first.
At worst, she can just say she doesn't want to go.
Geng Xue had a gloomy face throughout the whole process. The other party looked at her as if she were a commodity, and even bargained with Wang Hongmei in front of her.
Geng Xue couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood up, pushed the chair away and ran out.
"Hey! Xiaoxue!"
Wang Hongmei called her, but Geng Xue ignored her.
"This kid is still shy."
Wang Hongmei explained with a dry laugh.
The other party said sarcastically: "Your daughter looks down on me. She doesn't even look at herself. She's so picky. If she misses me, who would want her?!"
"Hey, she's just ignorant. You can talk to me, just talk to me. As long as the betrothal gift is agreed upon, even if she doesn't want to marry, I will force her to marry!"
Geng Xue's face flushed with embarrassment. She ran out of this small restaurant that didn't even have a private room. She didn't know where to go and just ran forward.
She ran all the way to the foot of the Ji family company building. She looked at the building that almost reached the sky and the crowded leisure square with a dazed look in her eyes.
If it weren't for Wang Long, she might have been one of the hostesses of this building.
Suddenly, her eyes focused and she saw someone coming out from inside, and she subconsciously hid.
It was... the person that even Wang Long tried to curry favor with.
When Geng Xue saw his immortal face again, she was afraid and avoided him, and she dared not have any other thoughts. Besides that, the other person beside him made Geng Xue suspicious.
Gu Shiqing walked in front and said helplessly to his junior fellow apprentice beside him: "Master sends me messages every day asking you to return to the sect, can't you just pay attention to him?"
Ji Yanli shook his head: "Do you think he missed me? He was just bored and had no one to bother him, so he asked me to go back and entertain him!"
He is not stupid, so he went back.
Gu Shiqing obviously knew his master's character very well, but he frowned in distress: "If you don't go back, my master will bother me every day."
Ji Yanli glanced at him and gave him a look full of meaning. Gu Shiqing refused: "No, if we ignore him, Master will definitely come to kill us."
Ji Yanli shrugged: "Then I can't help you."
The two got into the car while chatting and laughing.
Geng Xue bit her lip, not understanding why the second-generation rich man who she thought had accomplished nothing and relied entirely on his family would chat and laugh with such a big shot. Judging from the way they spoke, they were clearly interacting on equal terms.
Why is this happening?
She forced herself not to think any further, for she was afraid she would vomit to death.
She stood there stiffly searching for a long time until her cell phone in her pocket rang wildly and Wang Hongmei called to scold her. Only then did she move her numb legs and mechanically go home.
"Look, you still have to rely on me. If you have the guts, don't come back."
As soon as she entered the room, Wang Hongmei's harsh voice rang out. Geng Xue was in no mood to listen to her, so she changed her shoes and went back to her room.
"I've already agreed on a two hundred thousand yuan betrothal gift with him, and we'll get the marriage certificate next week. He's getting married for the second time and doesn't want a wedding, and your situation isn't one for a wedding. The real thing is to live a good life after you get married. Everything else is just empty talk."
"I won't marry!"
Geng Xue screamed, "No, no, no, no! How many times do I have to tell you this? Are you deaf?"
"Snapped!"
A slap hit her hard in the face.
Wang Hongmei grabbed her hair and locked her in the room, then moved a stool and sat at her door crying.
"You don't want to! If you don't want to, then why should I? I don't want my daughter to marry a rich man and live a life of abundance and happiness? Who ruined all this?"
