Starry Sky Railway, starting with a single draw of the Underworld

Page 145

However, this starting point is terrifying to normal people. When Fu Xuan came here to divine that he would become a Grand Diviner in the future, the Fu family celebrated for three days and three nights. Now that her husband will become a Commander, her family has been excitedly dancing with joy. In the future, it will definitely be a case of one person achieving success and all their relatives and friends benefiting. The family members of a Commander will feel extremely accomplished.

"Stay calm and don't make a fuss about this."

After his initial joy, Master Fu solemnly instructed his family that this was not a cause for celebration; they could only rejoice in secret. Since Qiong and Fu Xuan were not yet married, if other families of similar power found out, they would definitely try every means to snatch Qiong away.

This is the struggle between families skilled in divination. Unlike ordinary families, they can see the future of people and their future is clear in their eyes. For those who are destined for greatness, they either win them over or destroy them before they grow up. They have done this countless times. It can only be said that it is more cruel than the struggle between ordinary families. Some people are already involved without even knowing what is happening.

"Good son-in-law, I just casually consulted the oracle for an auspicious date. How about you two get married tomorrow?"

Master Fu patted Qiong on the shoulder and said that Fu Xuan, seeing his father so eager to marry him off, also displeased and called for a halt.

"Father! How could you do this? Are you selling your daughter?"

Fu Xuan understood his father's thoughts: to win over Qiong for the sake of the family's future glory. But while he understood, he still couldn't quite accept it.

"Nonsense, would your father harm you? Calculate for yourself whether tomorrow is an auspicious day."

Master Fu said with a stern face, leaving Fu Xuan speechless for a moment. She did not doubt her father's professional competence; if he said it was an auspicious day, then it was definitely an auspicious day. What she meant was not the date, but that it was too fast.

"That's true... but isn't this too hasty?" Fu Xuan said helplessly.

"Xuan'er, you've already let him stay overnight in your room, don't you realize that's wrong?"

Madam Fu tugged at Fu Xuan's hand and looked at her strangely, asking, "What do you mean?" Only then did Fu Xuan realize that the intimacy she had unconsciously shown with Qiong had been misunderstood. Her parents probably suspected that she and Qiong had already been intimate, which was why they were in such a hurry to get married.

"I... okay, I give up."

Fu Xuan opened her mouth, but after much deliberation, she resigned herself to her fate. After all, her identity was not simple, and if word got out that she was unmarried and living in the same room with a man every day, it would indeed cause gossip.

“Good son-in-law, you are still young and may not have much wealth. We will take care of the betrothal to Xuan’er. You just need to go through the motions.”

Master Fu said to Qiong that he was investing in something much longer-term. It might take Qiong a hundred or two hundred years to become a Commander. His father-in-law wasn't in a hurry. For now, Qiong was just a poor boy, so be it. Anyway, the family didn't lack these things.

"Father-in-law, what are you saying? I am quite wealthy!"

Qiong patted his chest and said that when he heard him speaking in the local dialect, his father-in-law and mother-in-law both laughed.

"Okay, okay, you have it."

Master Fu didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a man's pride. He was a man too, so he understood. Then he watched as Qiong started taking things out of the Rift Space.

When the fist-sized dragon ball was pulled out, Master Fu's expression became serious. When the extremely pure earth marrow ore was taken out, Master Fu couldn't quite figure out what it was. Gold, silver, jewels, and credit points were all pulled out by the pound, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the ground. Sometimes, if he accidentally pulled out the wrong thing, he would take out the dowry that Huaiyan was going to give to Yun Li, and he would have to put it back, otherwise Yun Li would get jealous again.

Qiong still felt something was missing, and on a whim, he took out the Alliance Jade Sign and wanted to give it to his mother-in-law as a precious token that allowed her to entrust Jing Yuan with a task.

"Mother-in-law, take this."

"No, no, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Madam Fu shook her head repeatedly, not daring to accept it. This was truly a huge joke. The Alliance Jade was the most precious token the General had given to his friend. She had never heard of anyone giving away the Alliance Jade, not even a family member. This thing was bound to the person who gave it away; if it wasn't used by the person who gave it, the General would surely chop it up.

"Idiot, take it back."

Fu Xuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to Qiong's side, stood on tiptoe, and punched him on the head. Only then did Qiong put away the Alliance Jade. This thing was really all show and no substance. It was useless for small things, and he dared not use it for big things. Even when he gave it away, people would complain. Qiong heard his mother say that it might be used to deal with Nanuk in the future, but that was too far away.

Now Master Fu and Madam Fu believed that Qiong was indeed quite wealthy. Afterwards, they invited Qiong to the living room and carefully inquired about their son-in-law. Everyone already knew that he came from the Starry Sky Train, which had a good reputation, so the two elders quickly accepted that their daughter had found a man from another place to be her husband.

As Fu Xuan watched Qiong chatting happily with her parents, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous about getting married. The scene she saw in the revolving lantern overlapped with the scene in front of her, which made Fu Xuan realize that she couldn't change anything afterward. Most likely, she would have to wear a wedding dress and be sent to the bridal chamber with Qiong. Thinking about it, she felt quite embarrassed.

"At that time, it roared like thunder and collapsed half of the prison. Fortunately, I was there to save the day and fought it for three hundred rounds. It was no match for me and fled. I let it go temporarily in order to save people."

Qiong Zheng stood in the hall and spoke eloquently, recounting all the crises Luo Fu had experienced. Although he wasn't the one who contributed the most, he had participated in the entire process. After he explained the details, Fu Xuan listened in astonishment.

The information Luo Fu provided only briefly outlined the general direction of events, unlike Qiong's detailed narrative. This was a great experience for Fu Xuan, who was concerned about Luo Fu's situation, as if he had personally experienced everything.

"Well done, you truly are worthy of being our son-in-law. Even a monster like Bu Liren Zhan Shou is no match for you. You are indeed my lucky son-in-law."

Master Fu looked at Qiong with satisfaction. He felt that Qiong was a completely different person now. Before, he felt that Qiong was a poor boy, but now he had become a promising son-in-law. He felt very at ease entrusting his daughter to such a young man.

Chapter 377 A real man has no shortage of wives

"I've wanted to ask this before, who is this child?"

After hearing the story, Master Fu looked at Yun Li, who was sitting quietly next to Qiong and eating snacks. She was very quiet, but her mouth never stopped. She didn't look like a maid or anything like that, but more like a relative's child.

"Oh, she is General Huaiyan's granddaughter, named Yun Li, and she is my wife."

Qiong casually agreed, and the two elders were quite satisfied with his honest answer. A good son-in-law speaks directly, even about something as simple as getting married...

"You mean, you're already married?"

Madam Fu asked Qiong with a surprised look on her face. Only then did her expression show surprise. This son-in-law in front of her didn't seem so likable after all.

“Yes, Fu Xuan even attended my wedding in Luofu. The bride wasn’t Yun Li, but the captain of the Tianbo Bureau from our area.”

Qiong didn't feel that anything was wrong with him at all, and even mentioned his other wife. Seeing his confident appearance, Master Fu and Madam Fu fell silent. After all, Qiong was from out of town, and the custom in his area was that one could have multiple wives. It was meaningless to talk about customs with someone from out of town. For people with different customs to get married, only when one side's power far exceeded that of the other side could they force the other side to follow their own customs.

"How many women have you married?" Master Fu asked.

"Would you like to hear the general idea or the specifics?" Qiong countered.

"Approximately the number."

Master Fu's eyelids were twitching. He had thought that the two that Qiong mentioned were the limit, but it seemed that this was just the beginning.

"There are about a dozen of them. If you are interested in them, I can introduce them to you one by one."

Qiong chuckled and said that he loved introducing his wives to others. Every woman was so outstanding and could do almost anything. He even had a notorious villain who was a wanted criminal.

"Never mind, I'm afraid my blood pressure will rise."

Master Fu waved his hand and said, "Now we're starting to struggle again about whether or not to marry Fu Xuan to Qiong. Qiong only took one sentence to make the two elders' attitudes change so quickly."

"There's an old saying in Xianzhou: 'A great man has no worries about not having a wife.' Obviously, as a great man, I should marry many wives, wouldn't you agree?"

Qiong still smiled as he spoke, his confident aura suggesting he was doing the right thing. Master Fu, being a man himself, somewhat agreed, but with his wife still nearby, he could only offer a small rebuttal.

No, no, that's not what it means.

"Xuan'er, you have no objections to this?" Madam Fu asked her daughter.

"No, he's a womanizer. Just you wait and see, this number is definitely not enough."

Fu Xuan said calmly that she had no interest in Qiong's harem. If she cared about this, she wouldn't have allowed him to take advantage of her again and again. She had already acquiesced in her heart.

"As a pioneer of the Star Train, I must constantly explore new frontiers. This is my mission. Getting married is also a form of exploration. I establish connections with the women in each world I visit. This is my way of exploration."

Qiong attributed his philandering to the pioneering work of the Starry Sky Train. He was so sure that Akivili would be turning in his grave and give him a thumbs up. This was truly an unexpected path of pioneering.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all talk and no action," Fu Xuan said irritably.

"Alright, since Xuan'er has no objections, we won't say anything more."

Master Fu and Madam Fu exchanged glances. If Qiong had said such a thing before the divination, they would have definitely chased him away. But now their perception was different. What was wrong with the future envoy marrying a few more wives? He was already an envoy; shouldn't the whole universe revolve around him? However, this order seemed a bit off. It would be more reasonable for him to start building his harem after becoming an envoy.

As for offering opinions, General Huaiyan's granddaughter is here. Theoretically, her status is not much different from that of Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner. General Huaiyan has no objections, so how can they offer any?

"Father, Mother, we'd like to take our leave now."

Fu Xuan felt she had said enough and wanted to be alone with Qiong for a while, so she took Qiong's hand and said goodbye. She was currently adjusting to the identity of her fiancée. It was funny, she had never admitted to having any relationship with Qiong before, and now that she had just said he was her boyfriend, they were getting married.

"My husband, I'm going out to play."

Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do here, Yun Li left the time alone with the two of them. She was very curious about everything in the unfamiliar fairy ship and naturally wanted to wander around and do some bad things behind the scenes.

"Go ahead, but don't steal people's things, understand?"

Qiong could tell at a glance what Yunli wanted to do, but he only gave her a verbal instruction and did not force her not to do it, so Yunli felt reassured.

"Okay." (Jiulin Si: Tumor Qi Gong Er V [I*II])

Yun Li gave Qiong a flirty wink, then hurriedly ran out. Because the gate was quite far away, she skillfully used her lightness skill, leaping high like a nimble cat, covering hundreds of meters with each leap.

"You've already married her, why haven't you put shoes on her yet?"

Fu Xuan looked at Yun Li, who had run far away, and said that he had noticed that she was not wearing shoes. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she got pricked by something while running around barefoot.

"She likes to go barefoot, which is related to her fighting style."

Qiong held Fu Xuan's hand and told her how she met Yun Li and how she fought. The two sat down in a pavilion in the courtyard. Just as Fu Xuan was about to sit down, Qiong took advantage of her bending her legs and grabbed her knees, lifting her up and pulling her into his arms.

"What are you doing?"

Fu Xuan spoke words of reluctance, but his body did not struggle at all. He just waited for Qiong to sit down, and then sat on his lap.

"My wife is so beautiful."

Qiong looked at Fu Xuan's stunning profile and said that Fu Xuan was like a work of art. Just by standing there, she constantly attracted Qiong to like her. Looking at her, Qiong thought, how could there be such a girl in the world? She was pink, small, and so light to hold in his arms, yet she exuded such a sweet fragrance, making him infatuated with everything about her.

Fu Xuan was secretly observing Qiong's inner thoughts with her Dharma Eye. When she heard that Qiong thought of her this way, she was both amused and exasperated. Of course, she was happy that he liked her so purely, but it wouldn't do to say that she was too little.

"You scoundrel, all you do is tease me."

Fu Xuan suddenly spoke up. Qiong didn't know why she suddenly said that. He just felt her cheeks being hugged by her hands and her soft lips coming close. This time there was no exchange of milk tea, and he didn't ask Fu Xuan for any reward. She just took the initiative to kiss him. Qiong happily waved his hands on the side. After he was happy, he hugged Fu Xuan's slender waist and enjoyed her initiative.

P.S. I wasn't feeling well last night, so I went to bed early and didn't update. I'll catch up this morning (:∠)

Chapter 378 Just tell me if it's pioneering or not.

"This is a reward for you. Although you didn't mention it when you were telling the story before, you were always the first to rush in when there was danger. Thanks to you, a major disaster was averted."

After Fu Xuan and Qiong parted ways, she said that she was such a smart woman that she had already figured out how dangerous Qiong had done. If he hadn't been there to protect her homeland, many people in Luofu would have died. As his fiancée, Fu Xuan naturally had to give him some reward.

"It's my duty, and that's also my wife's family," Qiong replied with a smile.

"What do you mean by your maternal family? Did you find a few more women when you went back to Luofu this time?"

After her gentle approach, Fu Xuan began to interrogate Qiong. She didn't even need to do a quick calculation to know that this guy was definitely having another romantic entanglement. She just didn't know how many women in Luofu could catch his eye.

"Um... three." Qiong honestly admitted.

"Yun Li is one, but what about the other two?"

"And there is the newly appointed Dan Ding Yi Ling Ni Ba Si Qi Si (5) [Liu Si Si Ding, Ling Sha].

"Oh, I've heard of her. Her medical skills are superb, and her methods must be quite good as well, otherwise she wouldn't be here to clean up this mess."

Fu Xuan found himself completely unsurprised. The position of Si Ding was similar to that of Tai Bu, so it was not unreasonable for him to be tricked into it by Qiong.

"There's another one named Feixiao."

Seeing that Fu Xuan could easily accept the existence of the spirit sand, Qiong Jian revealed the last heavyweight.

"Feixiao, Feixiao, what a familiar name. I seem to always hear her name in battle reports..."

Fu Xuan subconsciously touched her small chin and said that the name was very familiar to her. However, when she realized that she had heard the name in a battle report, she jumped up from Qiong's lap.

"Yao Qing's general?!"

Fu Xuan's tone was so surprised it sounded almost like a scream. She hoped Qiong would tell her that it was just Fei Xiao with the same name, not the Yao Qing General she knew.

"Ah."

Qiong nodded heavily, indicating that Fu Xuan's guess about her identity was correct. Fu Xuan thought for a moment, then pinched Qiong's face and twisted it up and down.

"Qiong! How did you manage that? That's a general! Shouldn't a general only have the protection of the Immortal Ship on his mind, instead of having any romantic feelings?"

Fu Xuan would rather accept Jing Yuan's abdication and hand over the general's position to Qiong than accept that a general from a celestial ship would be willing to be Qiong's wife. What merit does Qiong have?

"What are you saying? A general isn't a war machine. Why should she suppress her emotions and desires? It's her freedom to like whomever she wants."

Qiong held Fu Xuan's hand and comforted her with a smile, then pulled her to sit on his lap, resting his chin on her shoulder as he chuckled.

"What can I say? It will be so awkward when we meet again."

Fu Xuan poked Qiong's head with his finger and said, "It's a good thing I didn't tell my parents about this before, otherwise they would have been scared to death. From another perspective, this is Fu Xuan stealing the general's husband."

"No, you all belong to the same Immortal Boat family, and you will definitely be able to support each other in the future," Qiong comforted her.

“I’m not saying you’re a womanizer, but you’ve established connections with so many immortal ships now. You certainly won’t just stand by and do nothing if something happens, right? This undoubtedly increases your burden. As your wife, I still feel sorry for you.”

Fu Xuan sighed, beginning to worry about Qiong's future. She also wanted to know why Qiong had suddenly become involved with the four immortal ships and their families. Before, there was only one ship, Luofu. You have to know that there are only six immortal ships in total. If anything happened on these four ships, Qiong would definitely have to go and solve it.

"Then tell me, am I expanding the Immortal Ship like this? It's already gone from one to four."

"Idiot, moron, what are you so smug about!"

Fu Xuan gave Qiong a slap in annoyance. The soft palm touched his face, and it felt like a gentle breeze. He was naturally reluctant to really hit him.

"They don't even think about me. Who would want to watch their husband go out and take risks?"

Fu Xuan made her stance clear: as a diviner, she would always put the safety of the immortal ship first, but as his wife, it was different; she selfishly wanted to hide Qiong behind her.

"Don't worry, I always manage to escape danger. There's still the position of Commander waiting for me."

"That's just your best future; if you're reckless, it might still end prematurely."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could I bear to leave such a beautiful wife like you to be a widow?"
