Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 63 I Went to See Father-in-law Two More Times
Simar Yan's face suddenly turned bright red, and in her excitement, she had brought him to her own boudoir. She quickly led Yue Cheng to the guest room to rest.
Yue Cheng was taken to a nearby guest room by Sima Yanran, who had a red face and hurriedly ran out. Yue Cheng looked around the guest room of the Sima family, which was clean and comfortable, with luxurious decorations inside, much better than the inn he stayed in Twin Town yesterday.
"I didn't expect something like this would happen, it's really unbelievable." Yue Cheng muttered: "However, Sima Yanran is indeed a beauty among women."
Yue Cheng immediately sat down on the bed with his legs crossed, and the true energy quickly circulated through the meridians in his body. As long as he had time, Yue Cheng would seize every opportunity to practice. In a month's time, it would be the Alchemist Grand Competition, and Yue Cheng was actually quite eager to go and gain some experience. Now that the Ten Thousand Year Xuan Steel had been found, Yue Cheng no longer had any burdens on his body.
The next morning, Yue Cheng heard Sima Yanran calling him at the door. He let out a mouthful of turbid air from his throat, slowly withdrew his true energy after stopping his cultivation, tidied up his clothes and hat, opened the door and walked out of the room.
"How was your rest? By the way, I still don't know what your name is." Sima Yanran asked softly.
Looking at Sima Yanran in front of him, Yue Cheng's eyes lit up involuntarily. Last night's dark night had not allowed Yue Cheng to see Sima Yanran's face clearly. At this moment, Sima Yanran had a curved eyebrow and big eyes, with skin as white as snow, especially those bright and spirited eyes that would make people be deeply captivated at first glance.
Under a green magnificent long dress, a pair of jade breasts look straight and full, squeezed out a deep and seductive cleavage, slender waist as willow, the hem of the skirt slightly raised, it's not hard to see the round and plump buttocks inside, and those slender and high-heeled sexy legs.
Yue Cheng looked a bit distracted, and couldn't help but think of Murong Xiaoxiao. The two women's temperament was somewhat similar, their appearance and figure were also on par, but the feeling they gave people was slightly different. Murong Xiaoxiao gave off an otherworldly beauty that made one dare not approach her, a cold elegance that was unmatched in this world, with an invisible nobility emanating from her body. In contrast, Sima Yanran gave off the feeling of a refined and elegant lady, with a noble and cultured air about her.
"My name is Yue Cheng." Yue Cheng replied, such a beautiful woman would be fine even if she were his fiancée.
"What are you staring at me for?" Looking at Yue Cheng who had been staring at her all along, Sima Yan felt a little shy. After sending Yue Cheng to the guest room last night, she suddenly realized that she was holding hands with him all the way back to the Sima's house, and many servants seemed to have seen them. Thinking about it, her face turned even redder. She had never been touched by a man before, let alone held hands with one.
"You're really beautiful, it would be great if you were really going to be my fiancée." Yue Cheng said with a smile.
"You think you're beautiful, now let's go see my father. You pretend to be my fiancé, and don't tell anyone about this, even in front of my father, you have to say we are privately engaged. There are many traitors from the three families in our family, so don't slip up." Sima Yan reminded Yue Cheng.
"I understand." Yue Cheng smiled slightly and immediately pulled Sima Yanran's jade hand, saying: "Then let's go see your father."
"What do you want to do, let go." Sima Yan's jade hand was pulled by Yue Cheng and she was startled, her face turned red, and she quickly tried to struggle free from Yue Cheng's hand. This guy was just pretending to be her fiancé, but unexpectedly dared to hold her hand.
Yue Cheng squeezed the soft clay in his hand and whispered into Sima Yanran's ear, "Didn't you say that there might be spies from the Sanmen and Liujia families among us? If we don't show some affection, it'll be easy for others to suspect us. Even your father won't believe us."
"You, then you don't need to hold my hand either." Sima still heard Yue Cheng's words and stopped struggling. What Yue Cheng said seemed reasonable.
"If you're not afraid of others finding out that we're pretending, and the Sima family gets disqualified as a result, then I won't hold your hand." Yue Cheng let go of Sima Yanran's hand and gazed at her seriously, without a hint of joking.
Simmering under Yu Cheng's intense gaze, Si Ma Yanran felt a little shy and hastily lowered her head, the hand held by Yu Cheng not withdrawing.
"Lead the way, I'll go see my father-in-law." Yue Cheng looked at Sima Yanran's expression and already knew that she had been intimidated by him. In his heart, he secretly thought: "Pretending to be her fiancé who doesn't take advantage of the situation would be unfair to myself, lest I regret it later."
Simar Yanran didn't expect to let Yue Cheng pretend to be her fiancé, and she was even pulled by the hand. For a moment, her face turned red all the way to her neck. But listening to Yue Cheng's words seemed very reasonable, so she had no choice but to reluctantly take Yue Cheng to the main hall of the Sima family, where her father usually stayed.
Along the way, many servants and relatives of the Sima family saw that the noble lady who didn't take any man seriously was actually being pulled by a black-robed man, which was simply unbelievable. And when Sima Yan saw the surprised eyes of the servants and relatives, she became even more shy and stuck closer to Yue Cheng's side.
The Sima family had a group of guests arriving early in the morning, consisting of an old man in grey robes and a young man in white clothes, accompanied by six middle-aged men dressed as attendants. The old man in grey robes had small eyes and a broad forehead, with a wispy goatee on his chin, giving off a somewhat despicable appearance, yet he was a high-ranking master of the Dou Wang level.
The young man in white clothes looked quite handsome, but there was a hint of sinister aura in his eyes, and he didn't seem like a good person. Judging from the aura emanating from him, he was actually an alchemist.
The Sima family had over ten people present, including the patriarch Sima Changping, several elder members of the clan, and direct descendants. Among them, a few elders and Sima Changping were all Dou Wang-level experts, while the other clan members were all Dou Ling-level cultivators.
"Head of the Sima clan, I and my young master have come again today to ask for your response, which is enough to prove that our Liang family attaches great importance to yours. As long as my young master and Miss Yanran get married, my young master will become the son-in-law of the Sima family and can represent the Sima family in the Alchemist Grand Prix. At that time, the Sima family will no longer need to be expelled from the three major families." The old man in gray robes said to Sima Changping.
"Uncle, I have long had feelings for Yanran. After Yanran and I get married, I will definitely represent the Sima family in the Alchemist Grand Prix." The young man in white clothes said softly. He was Liang Yu of the Liang family, already a 4th-grade alchemist at the age of 24.
"This..." Sima Changping looked at the crowd in the clan, and it seemed that no one was opposed to it. The expressions of the two elders seemed to be strongly supportive. On one hand was the family's interests, on the other hand was his daughter's lifelong happiness, and Sima Changping didn't know how to decide for a moment.
"Head of the clan, I think that the marriage between the Sima family and the two families is undoubtedly a great thing. Mr. Liang Yu and Miss Yanran are also a perfect match made in heaven. In the future, with the cooperation of the Sima and Liang families, even the Three Gates will not be our opponent." The second elder said, seeing that Sima Changping was hesitant for a moment, his face changed.
Simachangping looked at the second elder, this second elder had always been biased towards the Liang family. In fact, Simachangping had already made up his mind, but thinking of his daughter, he hesitated again. Now, for the sake of the Sima family's interests, he could only agree.
"If the Liang family is so sincere, then I..." Just as Sima Changping was about to reluctantly agree to the marriage between the two families, two figures suddenly walked into the hall. Looking at the two people who came in, Sima Changping blinked his eyes in extreme surprise, thinking he had seen wrongly.
Others looked at Sima Changping's expression and also hurriedly looked towards the outer hall, instantly everyone had the same eyes as Sima Changping, Miss Yanran of the Sima family was actually being held hands with a strange black-robed young man, the two people's demeanor looked like a pair of intimate lovers.
The Liang family, especially Liang Yu's face turned ugly. The Sima Yanran they had long wanted to get was actually pulled into the hands of a strange man. A thick and intense killing intent shot out from their eyes.
"Yue Cheng, the man in white is Liang Yu of the Liang family. The old man in grey beside him is called Liang Hanwen, a master of the Three Star Fighting King technique. Be careful how you deal with them later." Sima Yanran had seen the people from the Liang family from afar, they must be here to propose marriage, fortunately she had arrived early.
"What's going on here?" Sima Changping looked at the black-robed man who was with his daughter in confusion, having never heard Yanran mention such a person before.
The elderly person beside Sima Changping also looked at Sima Yanran and Yue Cheng with suspicion, seeing the intimate state of the two, as if they had been together for a long time. How come I've never heard Miss mention it before? Is she afraid that the family won't agree?
"Xiaozi Yuecheng has seen Uncle."
"The daughter has seen her father." Yue Cheng and Sima Yanran slowly walked to the front of Sima Changping under the extremely surprised eyes of everyone, and when they reached Sima Changping's side, Yue Cheng also had to let go of Sima Yanran's jade hand, which was almost done.
"Yan Ran, what's going on..." Sima Changping asked Yan Ran in confusion, he really couldn't figure out the situation.
"This..." Sima Yan's delicate face turned slightly red, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say or do. She couldn't help but look at Yue Cheng, her expression becoming somewhat flustered.
"Xiaozi and Lingyuan have already secretly agreed to marry, today they specially came to ask Uncle to fulfill their wish." Seeing Sima Yanran's flustered expression, Yue Cheng had no choice but to speak up.
"What kind of person are you, our Miss Sima is not someone who can be matched with just anyone." The second elder of the Sima family saw Yue Cheng and Sima Yanran enter, his face already looked unpleasant, coldly scolding Yue Cheng.
