Chapter 200 - 199: Oh, Let’s Get Married Then

The climate in Southland is warm and cloth is expensive, so it’s understandable that the people of Southland dress more daringly than those from other regions.

We cannot impose our opinions on others, this would be an act of robbery.

The local environments raise its inhabitants, the clothing of Southland folks has regional characteristics, we cannot, nor is it possible to unify the clothing of all nine provinces, we need to learn to respect each other.

The above is a summary of the failure of the Confucian plan to increase the coverage of Southlander’s clothing.

Of course, “failure summary” is an internal term in Confucianism, what they proclaim to the outside world is a “research summary”.

Emperor Jiang Li’s first reaction upon seeing the Gu Clan was the Confucianism’s failure summary.

The men of the Gu Clan bare their upper bodies, displaying their strong physiques. The women cover only the essential parts with very little cloth, exuding an unusual charm.

“Brother Jiang, you’re finally here.” The physical presence of Jiang Li felt more substantial than his image in the communication symbol, thought the wooden leader.

The Gu Clan, upon hearing that the Human Emperor had arrived, came out to welcome him en masse.

Even though the Gu Clan hides from the world and knows very little about the outside, they not knowing about spiritual treasures, Liberty Council of Nine Provinces, or relations with other realms, they do know that the present Emperor Jiang Li is the strongest of all Human Emperors and the only one in the Mahayana Realm after the Stairway to Immortality ceased to exist.

“Your Majesty Jiang Li.” Yuan Wuxing bows with his disciples.

“Our paths seem to cross often,” Jiang Li finds it amusing upon seeing Yuan Wuxing and his disciples.

“Emperor Jiang Li, please save Qin Luan. The Gu immortal has been meddling witn playing matcnmaKer ana nas rorcea um Luan ana Aguna to marry,” song Ying anxiously pleaded, “Look, neither of them is happy about this.”

Aguna is the daughter of the High Priest.

Jiang Li couldn’t tell whether Qin Luan was pleased or not, but from the way Aguna was still clinging to Qin Luan, it seemed she was quite satisfied with the pairing.

Jiang Li, oblivious as he might be, would not think that Aguna was afflicted by a disease, which caused her to stumble and had to lean on Qin Luan for support.

After all, Jiang Li had scanned her with his divine sense and confirmed that she was healthy, free from any diseases.

Otherwise, it was hard to pinpoint any explanation.

“Sister Song, you mustn’t speak ill of the Gu immortal. She is still in the Immortal Realm. What if she senses your words?” Upon hearing Song Ying accusing the Gu immortal of meddling with their matchmaking, Aguna panicked. Whether the immortals have some sixth sense or due to the Gu immortal’s position in the Gu Clan, such words were inappropriate.

Song Ying realized that she had been careless with her words and quickly zipped her mouth.

As a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, she was in no position to discuss the immortals.

“No harm done, it’s all based on hearsay,” Jiang Li reassured Song Ying, who was looking quite nervous, with a smile. “If discussing the immortals could elicit a response from them, I would have long started discussing the rulers of the Immortal Realm.”

Jiang Li had tried all possible methods to ascend to immortality. The possibility of the immortals sensing discussions about them might had been true when the Stairway to Immortality was still functional. But now that the stairway was broken and no contact remained between the Nine Provinces and the Immortal Realm, the immortals wouldn’t sense anyone cursing them in the Nine Provinces.

Even though the wooden leader was the first to greet him, Jiang Li chose to ignore him for a while and continued chatting with Qin Luan.

“What about you, Qin Luan? Express your thoughts. Do you like Aguna? Do you want to get rid of the Gu worm?”

Song Ying, little white fox, and Aguna were all surprised by the bluntness of the Human Emperor’s question and anxiously awaited Qin Luan’s response.

Qin Luan smiled bitterly: “Mr. Jiang, I’ve only known Aguna for a few hours. If I fell in love with her in such a short time, what does that say about me as a person?”

Song Ying and the little white fox breathed a sigh of relief, while Aguna looked somewhat disappointed.

“Honestly speaking, Aguna is attractive and charming, and I do have some positive feelings towards her.”

“But these feelings are not strong enough to warrant marriage. The Gu immortal demands us to marry in ten days. How could we possibly develop the feelings for a marriage in such a short time?”

“I don’t believe in what the Gu immortal did.”

“I believe Aguna feels the same.” Qin Luan turned to Aguna and seriously said, “I don’t know much about love, but I do know that being forced to bed someone will not lead to true love. Only companionship over a long period of time, developing feelings as time goes, can result in the most reliable kind of love, right?”

Aguna nodded in a daze.

“And if the Gu tribe is reclusive and I marry into it, I would never be able to leave here my entire life, wouldn’t that be a betrayal of your expectations of

“So, you agree to kill the bug?” “Agreed. ”

“Aguna, how about you?”

“As a member of the Gu tribe, I cannot defy the wishes of the Gu Immortal. I ask the Human Emperor to decide for me.”

Jiang Li nodded, indicating understanding. Aguna’s meaning was very clear she wanted him to kill the bug.

If Aguna didn’t agree, she wouldn’t have said that she couldn’t disobey the Gu Immortal’s intentions.

Jiang Li drew his sword, waved it lightly, and the love bug lying on Qin Luan and Aguna’s heart was cut off by the Heart Sword, which was activated by intents and ultimately returned to the heart.

Even in the transcendance tribulation stage, the bugs left by the Gu Immortal were considered troublesome, but in Jiang Li’s eyes, they were nothing.

Without the love bug, Aguna felt empty, as if she had lost her only connection with Qin Luan.

At that moment, she noticed a figure standing in front of her, blocking the sunlight.

“Aguna, you have good talent, but the Gu tribe’s seclusion is limiting you. If you are willing, you can leave the Gu tribe and experience the vast landscapes of the Nine States. However, you lack experience in the Jianghu world and are not suitable to travel alone. Fortunately, Qin Luan and the others have some experience, and you can travel the Nine States with them.” Jiang Li said.

Upon hearing this, Aguna’s eyes lit up and she immediately replied, “I am willing.”

Song Ying and the little white fox immediately become alert. They had thought that Emperor Jiang Li was on their side, they didn’t expect this turn of events.

Yuan Wuxing nodded. Aguna joining the team would inhibit his good disciple’s cultivation speed. It turned out Emperor Jiang was on my side after all.

The High Priest came over, hesitating, “Emperor Jiang Li, this…”

“What, you want to watch your daughter get trapped here and be satisfied when she reaches the Nascent Soul stage?”

The current Aguna is in the early Golden Core stage, and is the best among her peers in the Gu tribe. Being able to reach the Golden Core stage at this age, her future achievements will certainly not be ordinary.

However, the Gu tribe is reclusive, lacking external exchanges and resources.

If Aguna is made to never leave the Gu tribe, then the Nascent Soul stage would be the limit.

The High Priest sighed, “Alright then. The Gu tribe wants to emerge from seclusion anyway. You’ll be the first tribe member to do so.”

“Actually, we also feel that the Gu tribe can’t just avoid things. At the beginning, we decided to hide because we were afraid that the Gu technique would decline, so we chose to hide in order to preserve the last soil of the Gu technique. ”

“Now we feel that we were wrong. This isn’t working. With cut-off information, rigid thinking, and scarce resources, the Gu tribe is in worse condition now than when we first secluded ourselves. If we continue like this, the Nascent Soul stage will disappear and the Golden Core stage will be the strongest in the Gu tribe. By that time, it’ll be too late.” The High Priest said.

The secluded Gu tribe sounds a bit like a hidden clan, as if it were some kind of powerful organization, but in fact, the situation of the Gu tribe is precarious.

“So, I discussed it with the Clan Leader and thought we should let the Gu tribe emerge. Coincidentally, you came by, so we wanted to hear your opinion.”

“Isn’t the Clan Leader of the Gu Tribe the fiancée of the Wood Leader?”

“Exactly.”

“Oh, then get married. If a combined peak cultivator marries into the Gu Tribe, it can ensure your smooth emergence in the world.” Jiang Li sincerely suggested.

With one less trouble in the Imperial Palace, the Gu tribe gets an opportunity to emerge in the world. Both sides have nothing to lose and both gain benefits. This is a win-win situation.

The Wood Leader?

Where did the Imperial Palace get a Wood Leader?
