Chapter 8: The Wang Family

This look was exactly what Su Chun wanted; a young girl should look like a young girl.

“Thank you, Mother. The way I looked before was too uncomfortable. If I had to go out looking like that every day, I’d rather die.”

After experiencing such a stimulating event, Su Chun was actually able to remain somewhat calm.

“Haha! Once you become stronger, that weight will be negligible. By the way, Chun’er, let me ask you: do you like those two girls from the Luo Family?”

Tantai Xuan suddenly asked.

Su Chun didn’t even have to think.

“I definitely like them.”

She didn’t need to overthink the matter because she had no prior experience in this area.

If someone gives you two beautiful wives for free, how could you say you didn’t like them?

“Is that so? Then it seems you still need to communicate and spend more time together. Once you get used to each other, your Yang Vein Power should manifest automatically.”

Soon, Tantai Xuan finished getting ready.

Although she was still as dignified and beautiful as ever, she seemed more relaxed and free-spirited today compared to her solemnity from the day before.

“Alright, that’s about it. Today, I might take you to the Wang Family in Wuliang Heaven. We’ll see Wang Yun while we’re at it. If you like her, you can marry her; if not, we’ll keep looking.”

Upon hearing this, Su Chun immediately cried out in surprise.

“Ah! Mother, I haven’t even gotten used to Luo Li and Luo Yu yet. Do you really have to shove another woman at me so soon?”

Having been a man in her past life, she had no reason to refuse.

Who would ever complain about having too many beautiful wives?

However, because of her past-life mindset, she felt that such matters required emotional connection.

She didn’t like these strange arranged marriages.

“Fine, fine. Even if you take a fancy to her, I won’t make you marry her immediately, okay?”

Tantai Xuan laughed.

Only then did Su Chun heave a sigh of relief.

‘That’s more like it. I’m not some stallion.’

“I’m leaving the house to you, my lady. I’m taking Chun’er with me now,” Tantai Xuan said to Lan Suxin.

“Mhm. Go ahead, and come back early.”

Thus, Tantai Xuan took Su Chun and boarded a very luxurious carriage.

The carriage was pulled by two spirit beasts that looked like a cross between fish and dragons, and they flew toward the sky at extreme speeds.

They even flew out of this world and into the universe.

The speed was much faster than a rocket.

When Su Chun entered space and looked back at Meng Hua Zhou, she discovered that the continent was actually just a fragment of land floating in the universe rather than a planet.

There were many similar mainland fragments around it.

They were all enveloped by a mysterious power.

Of course, there were also many planets nearby.

This universe was the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

The place they had come from was the Three Thousand Worlds, and there were ten regions like it.

They were flying toward an area shrouded in golden light.

Su Chun looked through the carriage window at the dreamlike scene outside, her heart filled with shock.

‘It’s unbelievable. No wonder those who practice Immortal Cultivation look down on technology.’

Soon, they entered Wuliang Heaven, where the Wang Family was located.

After passing through a boundary wall, they arrived at a place that resembled a celestial palace in a fairyland.

Floating islands were everywhere, with various magnificent buildings constructed upon them.

This was Wuliang Heaven, controlled by the Wang Family.

At that moment, a group of men and women dressed in golden robes stood before a solemn and majestic heavenly gate.

The noblewoman in a golden dress standing at the very front bore some resemblance to Tantai Xuan.

“Husband, they’re here,” the lady immediately said to the middle-aged man beside her.

“Mhm. I hope Chun’er will take a liking to Yun’er.”

The middle-aged man glanced at the exceptionally noble woman behind him.

She had golden eyes and carried an air of arrogance.

The carriage carrying Su Chun and Tantai Xuan soon landed in front of the Wang Family members.

A moment later, Tantai Xuan led Su Chun out.

“Second Sister, it’s been a long time.”

Seeing Tantai Xuan, the gold-robed noblewoman hurried over, lifting her skirt slightly as she walked faster to embrace her.

This noblewoman in gold was the co-wife of the current Head of the Wang Family.

Although not the primary wife, her status was equivalent, and her children were not considered of low birth.

She was also the younger fourth sister of Tantai Xuan, named Dantai Yu.

“Mhm, it has been decades.”

\After speaking, Tantai Xuan immediately greeted the middle-aged man.

“Head of the Wang Family.”

“Head of the Dantai Family.”

After the two heads of these long-lived families exchanged greetings, Tantai Xuan quickly called Su Chun over.

“Chun’er, this is your Fourth Aunt, Dantai Yu. And this is the Head of the Wang Family, Wang Yu, who is also your uncle.”

Startled, Su Chun quickly bowed to the two of them.

“Greetings, Fourth Aunt. Greetings, Uncle.”

“Haha, so this is Chun’er. She really looks exactly like Second Sister did when she was a child. She truly is Second Sister’s own daughter.”

Seeing Su Chun, Dantai Yu felt as if she were looking at Tantai Xuan’s younger self.

Su Chun had a smile on her face, but in her heart, she was thinking, ‘I’m afraid there are many relatives in the Tantai Family.’

Su Chun had guessed correctly.

In the current Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, almost every slightly larger power likely had a marriage alliance with the Tantai Family.

This was the foundation of the Tantai Family’s existence in this universe.

“Head of the Dantai Family, let’s go inside to talk. This is Little Chun’s first time at the Wang Family, so why don’t we let the younger generation take her for a tour of Wuliang Heaven and get to know her? How does that sound?”

Tantai Xuan nodded.

“That’s fine. We’ll do as the Head of the Wang Family suggests.”

Wang Yu also glanced at a young man in his early twenties by his side.

“Wang Yang, take Wang Yun and the others to show your cousin around. Because of bloodline issues, your cousin is temporarily unable to practice Cultivation. Take good care of her. There mustn’t be even a single mistake, or I won’t forgive you.”

The handsome young man named Wang Yang smiled and nodded immediately.

“Yes, Father.”

With that, the elders flew up and headed toward the interior of the Wang Family.

This left only a slightly bewildered Su Chun and a group of young Wang Family descendants.

“So this is the Ancestral Bloodline of the Tantai Family, Tantai Chun? I heard she was born through the Head of the Dantai Family’s self-pregnancy during an accident in her Cultivation.”

“The customs of the Tantai Family are too strange. Women marrying women, and even making other women pregnant… I’m afraid this is the only case in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.”

Once the elders were gone, the young men and women of the Wang Family immediately began whispering.

They looked at Su Chun as if she were a monster.

*Cough, cough!*

Hearing this, Wang Yang coughed a few times to interrupt their conversation.

At the same time, he warned them with his eyes to stop talking nonsense.

Although Wang Yang was not Wang Yu’s eldest son, he was one of the descendants with the purest Wang Family bloodline.

This was also thanks to the physiological effects of the Yin Vein women from the Tantai Family.

“Cousin Chun’er, allow me to introduce myself. I am Wang Yang, and my mother is your Fourth Aunt. Therefore, we are close cousins. Rest assured, being at the Wang Family is just like being in your own home.”

Hearing that the person in front of her was her cousin, Su Chun felt her anxiety ease slightly.

This was a blood cousin, the closest relative she had besides her sisters from her own family.

“Mhm. This is also my first time in Wuliang Heaven. It feels like a celestial palace; it’s truly magnificent,” Su Chun responded.

“Hmph! Naturally. Although the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands are within the same universe, the territory occupied by the Nine Heavens cannot be compared to a place like the Three Thousand Worlds.”

Just as Wang Yang was about to speak, a haughty and inappropriate female voice suddenly interrupted him.

Su Chun looked toward the sound and saw a tall, noble woman.

This woman’s gaze and her tone were clearly barbed — or rather, hostile.

“Yun’er, how can you speak to Chun’er like that? Don’t you know she is your future Husband?”

Hearing this, Su Chun instantly understood what was happening.

She thought to herself: ‘So this woman is the Wang Yun my mother mentioned.’

Upon hearing those words, Wang Yun reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her fur standing on end.

“Brother Wang Yang, I never agreed to this! I am a legitimate young lady of the Wang Family. Why should I marry another woman, and as a concubine at that? On what grounds? I’m telling you, I will never agree to this, even if I have to die! I’m leaving; you can host this little girl yourself.”

Wang Yun was filled with shame and anger.

She turned to leave.

However, Wang Yang’s next words made it impossible for her to move.

“Third Sister, don’t forget what Father said to you earlier.”

These words caused Wang Yun to freeze in place instantly.

“Alright, Brother Three, Brother Four, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister… the rest of you stay. Everyone else, disperse. There are too many people, and you’re scaring my cousin.”

Soon, the large crowd cleared out, leaving only a few people behind.

These few were closely related to Su Chun, though only Wang Yang was her direct cousin through blood.
