“Jiang Tang, I…!” Lin Dandan’s eyes sparkled with tears as she became emotional.
“Dandan, my treasure, come here, don’t cry, your husband will feel heartache!”
Caught up in his excitement, Jiang Tang had forgotten that he was in the Cultivation World, in another time and space.
Here, people referred to their partners as Cultivation Partners or Husband; the term “husband” sounded too novel to others.
“Husband??”
Lin Dandan couldn’t grasp the meaning of the word “husband.”
Jiang Tang’s father, his father-in-law, had been told by Jiang Tang that after his parents were murdered, they were later found and had undergone ghostly cultivation.
At this moment, they still hadn’t been able to bring them out from some place during the daytime.
Lin Dandan and the other beauties, upon hearing Jiang Tang’s words, guessed that he must have kept his parents in some Magical Treasure for nourishment.
“Hmm, my treasure, ‘husband’ means the same as Cultivation Partner, it also means Husband.
You women call your husbands that, but I like to invent a word, I like it when my treasure calls me husband!”
“Will ‘husband’ be more intimate than ‘Husband’?” Lin Dandan felt quite fond of this new form of address in her sentimental life.
“Of course, wife, come over here quickly!”
Jiang Tang blurted out yet another new term.
“Wife?”
Having heard the explanation just now, Lin Dandan guessed that this term represented her own status, and felt as though it implied she was old!
“Jiang Tang, ‘wife’ doesn’t sound nice!”
Lin Dandan spoke her mind openly in front of a man!
Jiang Tang inwardly begged his comrade, “Bro, bear with it, bear with it!
Patience is key!
Impatience won’t get you hot tofu!”
“Dandan, how about I call you ‘my treasure’ when I call you in the future?”
“Mm,” Lin Dandan nodded shyly, then lowered her head again!
“Dandan, come over here quickly, we don’t have much time left!” Jiang Tang glanced outside the window, as it was almost dawn.
Wanting to win the beauty over quickly, he did not wish to become a “three-second man!”
Jiang Tang’s male dominance, male pride, and male determination were fully displayed while cajoling her, fully expressing a man’s character!
There was that impulsive feeling, wanting to burst into her room for his beloved.
Yet he felt his aggressiveness was too much, fearing that the woman might act coy!
In her silent bowing, Lin Dandan sneaked a use of her Divine Sense to transparently observe the rooms of the other eight women.
She wanted to know what they were doing, whether they had noticed their intimate conversation, the two of them in a secret affair!
Lin Dandan once again felt that this idea was exhilarating, she loved it!
“Dandan, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your agreement!”
Before Lin Dandan could react, she was already swept into the room by Jiang Tang’s Divine Sense transformed into a pair of large hands, dominantly carrying her without a sound and unbeknownst to others.
Jiang Tang finally managed to hold Lin Dandan in his room and didn’t feel like he’d wasted too many words previously.
Winning over a woman was not just about the body, but also the conquest of the heart.
Holding Lin Dandan in his arms, Jiang Tang no longer wanted to act lower than a beast.
Having been moved both emotionally and passionately, why care about so much?
Jiang Tang’s mouth descended in a kiss…!
As Lin Dandan saw the increasingly handsome face before her for longer, she got lost in Jiang Tang’s affection…!
Ten thousand words are omitted here!
…
In the General’s Mansion early in the morning, it bustled with an unusual flurry of activity as the day had just started to break.
Ye Tian returned to the courtyard, had just tidied himself up, and hadn’t had the chance to sleep yet when there was a knock on his door.
He opened the door to see the steward standing at the entrance.
“Young General, the General and more clan members are waiting for you at the ancestral hall!”
Ye Tian remembered that, traditionally, a man would go to the ancestral hall to offer incense before engagement or marriage.
To tell the ancestors that he had reached adulthood!
“Hmm, wait outside a moment!” Ye Tian said before the steward could leave.
From his Storage Bag, he manually changed into a set of new clothes, shoes, and hat that he would wear today.
These were specially prepared for the engagement day.
Ye Tian donned the outfit in an instant, these were the ceremonial clothes specially prepared for him by the family.
He flicked his hand, and the original clothes and shoes were placed back into the Storage Bag in an instant.
Just two seconds passed, and he was dressed impeccably head to toe in a perfect set of hat, clothes, pants, and shoes.
The Jade Pendant at his waist, a symbol of unique identity!
Ye Tian appeared at the doorway, and the old butler, seeing him, nodded silently to himself, his smile brimming with joy as he congratulated Ye Tian.
“Young General truly is a dragon among men, indeed the strongest elite of our clan; both your appearance and ability are top-notch.”
Ye Tian responded with a smile.
The old butler’s praise mattered to him, as it does to all, regardless of gender – everyone likes to be complimented.
To be praised by an elder was an affirmation for the younger generation!
He humbly said, “Thank you, old butler, but this can only be seen as self-praise.
I am aware of my own limitations.
Within the younger generation of the Cultivation World, I can only be considered among the top ten!”
By saying this, Ye Tian placed Jiang Tang, the strongest of the men, first.
Then there were the males from large clans; he had already figured some were not his equals.
Asserting to be in the top ten, he still carried confidence!
“Hahaha, in our hearts, Young General is stronger than anyone!”
Ye Tian made his way to the ancestral hall, where his grandfather, father, and some clan elders were already present.
There were also some young men present.
As inheritors of the younger generation within the family, this ancestral worship ceremony was very grand!
Only those with the highest authority in the family could participate in this witnessing.
Those with slightly lesser status could not enter.
They had to wait outside and watch.
Only men were allowed inside the ancestral hall; even the wives of the highest-ranking clan members were not permitted entry.
This might be because each ceremony is different; some they may attend, like Ye Tian’s mother and grandmother, who also could not join now.
The women had their own family temples for worship and places for chanting sutras and burning incense.
Ye Tian was unsure if other families did the same.
Before his rebirth, the customs of his own family were similar to the present etiquette.
Perhaps throughout history, women’s status has not been equal to men’s.
Often, the highest authority belonged to men.
It’s not that women were not strong, but they devoted themselves to family.
They sacrificed their careers, ensuring the happiness of their family members!
The undistracted pursuit of aspirations, with the support of the entire family, was reserved only for men!
Under the operation of his family’s elders, Ye Tian’s ceremony was completed!
After emerging from the ancestral hall, Ye Tian was surrounded by a group of young people, and then they entered a large hall for a boisterous breakfast celebration.
Young men didn’t gather every day; some had been summoned back from missions afar.
Some requested to return specifically for Ye Tian’s betrothal, not wanting to miss inquiring about how he met his future bride.
Everyone knew that Ye Tian rejected a princess and numerous daughters from Noble Clans for this woman.
After Ye Tian’s engagement news spread, reportedly, many women in the Capital City wept.
Ye Tian was no mystery about his love life; what he recounted was rather ordinary.
Meeting as fellow disciples, leading to romance.
Many in their family, like Ye Tian, ventured into the world in their youth, paying respects to other families or Sects as Disciples.
Some, like him, concealed their Cultivation for the sake of missions and experience!
“Not thrilling enough, could you tell us whether the Young General and the Young Madam have… you know?”
A man dared to ask.
Other men egged on, “Oh…!
Come on, spill the beans!”
How could Ye Tian admit to his kin that he had only kissed, held hands, and embraced?
Such gentlemanly conduct was expected of every honorable man.
He couldn’t discuss such matters, especially not in front of these brothers.
“Want to know?”
“Yes,” all the men chorused in unison.
“Keep it secret… I’ll tell you!”
Ye Tian’s mysterious expression only made everyone more eager to tease him, or perhaps to tease the groom.
“Young General couldn’t possibly still be a child, right?”
Someone asked audaciously!
“Whoosh… whoosh!”
Without responding, Ye Tian simply smiled as he elegantly ate his breakfast, his thoughts already at his junior sister Yan Weiwei’s side.
These were his clan’s men; could they really be gossips?
The young men felt today was a day that demanded a bit of fun; with Ye Tian not answering, they decided to save this question for when they met the Young General’s Wife.
