Chapter 257: Brother Donghuang’s Fiancee?
“Donghuang has royal blood, and his martial art talent far surpa.s.ses yours, that is why that accident with him could allow your talent to increase so quickly.”
Li Yu told Luo Qinghan seriously, “Donghuang also said that he was abandoned by his biological father on the Ziyun planet. His biological mother must be somebody incredibly powerful to produce someone like him with such superior blood.
“Although you managed to attain your current level of talent through him, you can hardly be compared to him.”
With that, Li Yu’s gaze turned gentle as she continued, “Qinghan, Granny wants to know… what are your thoughts? Donghuang has already said that he will be responsible for you, and hence offered the dowry for your hand, and your father has already accepted the dowry that he brought.”
Li Yu’s words left Luo Qinghan speechless as her expression flickered.
Finally, she looked at Luo Wuchen and asked, “Father, you did not even ask me for my opinion on whether I wanted to marry him, how could you have accepted his dowry? Return it to him immediately!”
“I don’t want to get married to somebody just like that, without even knowing anything,” declared Luo Qinghan.
Her words made Luo Wuchen and Li Yu turn to stare at each other.
After a short while, Luo Wuchen then said with a sad smile, “My daughter, we cannot return the dowry.
“Donghuang is really outstanding, responsible and has incredible talent. There is surely n.o.body as outstanding as him in the entire Luohe galaxy or even the Hengliu galaxy.”
“It is your fortune to be able to marry him,” said Luo Wuchen.
“Father, what kind of drug did he give you to make you stand up for him like this?” Luo Qinghan frowned and asked.
With that, before Luo Wuchen could reply, Luo Qinghan turned to Li Yu again and said, “Granny, please get Father to return the dowry to him.”
“Girl.” Li Yu smiled bitterly. “That dowry, really cannot be returned.”
“Although I do not agree with most of what your father says most of the time, I totally and fully agree with what he said today!
“Donghuang is a good man, for you to marry him, it is his fortune. Girl, you have to know that I would never harm you.”
Li Yu’s words made Luo Qinghan tremble. What exactly did Zhou Donghuang do to make the two people who were closest to her and who cared the most about her say such things?
“Granny, I know that you will never do anything to harm me,” said Luo Qinghan seriously.
“But marriage is such an important matter, how can we settle it in such a manner? Although… although I had that little accident with that Zhou Donghuang, I cannot marry him just because of that.
“I am not such an easy person! The dowry that he gave must be returned immediately!”
As she spoke, her voice rose in volume, her att.i.tude firm and determined. “That dowry was meant for me, so I have the right to return it!”
“Qinghan, there is really no way to return it,” said Luo Qinghan with a sad smile.
“Donghuang’s gift was a technique… now, both your Granny and I have already been practicing that technique, so how can we return it?”
“A technique?” Luo Qinghan frowned. A technique that would make her father and her granny convert would most definitely be superior to the technique that they had been practicing previously.
Taking in a deep breath, Luo Qinghan said seriously, “I am now the inner sect disciple of the Ultimate Frost Sect of the Hengliu galaxy, and in the future, I will be able to get a technique from the sect.”
“I can promise to repay him with a different technique in the future,” suggested Luo Qinghan.
“Qinghan, do you think the technique that he gave us was just something slightly better than our Luo family technique?”
Although he had never heard of the Ultimate Frost Sect, Luo Wuchen still had a general idea of the supreme sects of Hengliu galaxy. For those sects, even their ultimate techniques would be far inferior to the “Technique of Everlasting Youth” that his son-in-law had given them.
“Technique of Everlasting Youth” was a superior Deity-level technique, which allowed one to train all the way till the ultimate Deity stage!
Deities were beings who were supreme in the entire universe, and a single deity had the power to destroy entire galaxies with just a wave of their hand.
“Is it?” Luo Qinghan had a terrible sense of foreboding.
“The technique that he gave us was a Deity-level technique, and an ultimate Deity-level technique at that. We can use it to train up to the ultimate Deity stage!”
Luo Wuchen asked seriously, “A Deity-level technique, do you realize what that is?”
“As far as I know, among the top sects in Hengliu galaxy, they all have Divine Transformation techniques at best and only inferior Divine Transformation techniques at worst, so you can only use them to train up to the early Divine Transformation stage.
“Only the two big powers of the Hengliu galaxy have techniques beyond the mid Divine Transformation stage.”
Although he had never been to the Hengliu galaxy, Luo Wuchen had done his research about it. Since his daughter had left for the galaxy, he knew some information about the sects of the Hengliu galaxy.
With that, Luo Qinghan was shocked once again.
A Deity-level technique?
In fact, an ultimate Deity-level technique?
She was well aware that as one’s skill progressed, each grade would become even more precious… in the Hengliu galaxy, even mid Divine Transformation techniques were rare and precious.
The supreme technique of the Ultimate Frost Sect was just an early Divine Transformation level technique, like her father had said.
“After the Divine Transformation stage is the Separating Divinity stage, then followed by the Deity stage… a Deity-level technique is only found in the supreme sects and star clans of the galaxies,” contributed Li Yu.
Now, even if Li Yu had not added that, Luo Qinghan was clear what the words “Deity-level technique” represented a superior technique in the entire universe.
It may not be the most superior technique, but it was definitely among the best in the universe.
“He… he offered a Deity-level technique as dowry, to marry me?”
Luo Qinghan was in a state of shock.
Now, even she could sense the man’s sincerity.
But she could not understand why he was willing to do that for her. Just because of that accident?
After a while, Luo Qinghan sucked in a deep breath, then looked at Luo Wuchen and said, “Father, I need to see him.”
The man’s dowry was simply too much for her, and there was no way to return it to him. This put her under tremendous pressure, so much that she was on the verge of crumbling.
However, she had to settle this matter eventually.
She wanted to meet him to find out how to solve this issue.
“Sure! I’ll bring him here!” Luo Wuchen exclaimed.
“Father, I’ll go with you. Just now, you said that he was in the Hengliu galaxy? And in the Lightning Sword Sect of the Tielao planet? I know the Lightning Sword Sect, it is also one of the premier sects in the Hengliu galaxy,” said Luo Qinghan.
Soon, Luo Wuchen brought Luo Qinghan to a galaxy teleporter, and the two of them were sent to the Tielao planet of the Hengliu galaxy, arriving at a location not far from the base camp of the Lightning Sword Sect.
Then, the two made their way to the Lightning Sword Sect to find Zhou Donghuang.
…
“Who are you? What business do you have here at the Lightning Sword Sect?”
As the two neared the base camp of the Lightning Sword Sect, they were stopped by some disciples who were patrolling the borders. Two of the young disciples saw Luo Qinghan, and their eyes lit up immediately.
In the Lightning Sword Sect, there was no lady disciple as beautiful as her.
“I am the father-in-law of your inner sect disciple, Zhou Donghuang, and I brought his fiancée here to see him… he told me before that he was a part of the Summer Valley of the inner sect,” Luo Wuchen said.
Despite the fact that he was a late Dharma adept, Luo Wuchen was certain that his level of skill was considered nothing in the Lightning Sword Sect.
In fact, it was nothing compared to even an ordinary outer sect elder in the sect.
Precisely because of that, even though the power of these patrolling disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect were far inferior to his, he did not dare to look down on them.
These disciples had the backing of the immense power of the Lightning Sword Sect.
Luo Qinghan did not expect to be introduced as Zhou Donghuang’s fiancée, but before she could correct him, she already heard some chatter nearby.
“Zhou Donghuang?”
“Brother Donghuang’s future father-in-law?”
“This… is Brother Donghuang’s fiancée?”
The disciples who were on patrol were all outer sect disciples and had personally witnessed Zhou Donghuang protect the reputation of the Lightning Sword Sect by defeating the talented disciple of the Thunder Knife Sect.
After that battle, many outer sect disciples were amazed by Zhou Donghuang, including these disciples on patrol.
After discovering the ident.i.ty of Luo Qinghan, the two young disciples who had been staring at her because of her beauty now turned away, fearing to take another look at Luo Qinghan.
“So you are Brother Donghuang’s father-in-law and fiancée… please head inside, I will lead you to the Autumn Valley to find Brother Donghuang!”
Among the group of outer sect disciples, the middle-aged man in charge now came forward eagerly and spoke to Luo Wuchen and Luo Qinghan excitedly.
His eagerness was incredible for Luo Qinghan to witness, and surprised even Luo Wuchen.
Luo Qinghan’s eyes were filled with suspicion.
She could hardly imagine that Zhou Donghuang had only just entered the Lightning Sword Sect. How could he already reach a stage where even outer sect disciples were so respectful towards him?
It was only when the outer sect disciple leading the way excitedly told them about the recent battle between Zhou Donghuang and Han Yuzheng, the talented disciple of the Thunder Knife Sect, did the two of them understand the reason why these disciples on patrol held Zhou Donghuang in such high regard.
“That Thunder Knife Sect disciple, Han Yuzheng, was said to be a talent that appeared only once in a hundred years on the Tielao planet, so he had to be an outstanding person,” said Luo Wuchen.
“Is he not?” The outer sect disciple smiled and said, “At just twenty-four years of age, he is already at the mid Dharma stage, and his talent is simply incredible… most importantly, he’s the only core disciple of our Lightning Sword Sect who is at the mid Dharma stage was also defeated within three blows by him.”
“At that point, everybody was certain that this match between the mid Dharma adepts of the two sects would end in the defeat of our Lightning Sword Sect by the Thunder Knife Sect. It was only then that Brother Donghuang came out and defeated that rascal with just one blow!”
“In fact, before he did anything, Brother Donghuang had even declared that if he did not defeat Han Yuzheng in one blow, that would be considered as a loss for him… now that I think of it, Brother Donghuang is really quite arrogant!”
As he spoke, the outer sect disciple appeared especially excited.
