Jiang Qingyao smiled mysteriously:

"The wife I want to introduce to the Ninth Prince is myself."

"I wonder what the Ninth Prince thinks?"

!!!

!!!

The whole venue fell into a deathly silence.

No one said a word!

Everyone continued to stare at Jiang Qingyao without blinking.

No shock.

No surprise.

No exclamation.

It was as if they had turned into stone.

It was as if they hadn't heard anything, waiting for her to repeat it again.

In the vast Ascension Hall, you could hear a pin drop.

After a long while,

Ji Changsheng asked again, "Princess, what did you say?"

It turns out...

What Jiang Qingyao said just now was truly unbelievable.

To the point where everyone couldn't help but think that they must have misheard.

Or maybe they were experiencing auditory hallucinations.

Jiang Qingyao blinked.

Her face immediately turned slightly red.

Just now, the atmosphere was right, so it naturally slipped out of her mouth.

Now, asking her to repeat it again alone was indeed a bit embarrassing.

But considering her situation, there was no time to waste.

She took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile.

In a tone similar to Zheng Erzhong's, she said, "Master Ji, what I meant to say is: I, Jiang Qingyao, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, want to marry you and become your wife, Ji Changsheng!"

"I wonder what your thoughts are?"

Gudong!

Ji Changsheng swallowed hard. He looked around and saw that everyone around him was looking at him with disbelief written all over their faces. He turned back to Jiang Qingyao and spoke in a deep voice, "Princess, are you joking with me?"

Jiang Qingyao's smile grew even brighter. She understood very well the impact her words had on Ji Changsheng.

Then she shook her head and said, "Young Master Ji, I would never joke about my own reputation with you!"

Ji Changsheng continued, "But as far as I know, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi is not allowed to marry, right?"

Jiang Qingyao replied, "Rules are dead, but people are alive. I have already discussed this with the Holy Master, and she has her own arrangements."

She didn't dare to reveal the truth. After all, she was the number one beauty in the Eastern Province, the number one dream lover of countless male cultivators. If Ji Changsheng married her, he would surely face endless troubles and even become the enemy of male cultivators in the Eastern Province.

If she didn't have the support of the Yaochi Holy Land behind her, Ji Changsheng would likely be afraid of becoming an enemy and refuse to marry her. That's why she had her identity as the Holy Maiden canceled after she persuaded Liu Manyun to agree to the marriage.

To prevent Ji Changsheng from dwelling on this issue any further, Jiang Qingyao waved her hand immediately after finishing her words.

Behind her stood...

Eight young female cultivators, equally beautiful, who followed her immediately stepped forward and formed two rows.

Each of them held a rare and extraordinary item in their hands.

Among them...

There were precious robes emitting mysterious light, intoxicating elixirs with captivating fragrance, extraordinary techniques with cover fonts exuding powerful sword intent, and terrifying killing swords...

The eight women held eight treasures!

For a moment...

The Ascension Hall was filled with shimmering pearls and divine radiance.

Under such circumstances, anyone would likely become lost and unable to extricate themselves.

But it didn't end there...

Finally, Jiang Qingyao herself personally held a fist-sized, fragrant pink spirit peach that exuded a refreshing aroma, and gently handed it to Ji Changsheng.

"This is... the Chi Peach?!"

"Could this be the number one treasure of the Yaochi Holy Land, the legendary Chi Peach that can make one ascend to the realm of the Great Power with just one bite?!"

"I didn't expect that the Yaochi Holy Maiden would actually bring out such an unparalleled divine fruit, which shows her sincerity."

"I remember, fifteen years ago, His Majesty personally went to the Yaochi Holy Land to request this fruit, but the Yaochi Holy Land refused without even considering it."

"Yes. His Majesty was seeking it for the Ninth Prince. Unexpectedly, after twists and turns, this Chi Peach ended up in the hands of the Ninth Prince. It seems that there is indeed a divine arrangement."

"Besides the Chi Tao, the other eight gifts are also extraordinary, all of them being treasures of the God King level or above."

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred place. Even the worst of the gifts are of the God King level. The generosity is astounding."

"This is truly envy-inducing to the point of madness!"

"..."

In the Ascension Hall, the entire court was in an uproar.

Everyone was shocked by the gifts Jiang Qingyao had presented and couldn't help but discuss them in hushed voices.

Jiang Qingyao paid no attention to the discussions around her.

At this moment, her eyes were only on Ji Changsheng.

"Master Ji, we don't need to follow the traditional customs of marriage."

"These nine treasures are the gifts I have prepared for you. Whether it's a dowry or a betrothal gift, it doesn't matter what we call it. I just hope you won't find it lacking."

"As long as you have no objections, please accept these nine treasures, and then we can immediately set a wedding date and get married!"

"I wonder what your thoughts are?"

Seeing this scene, everyone finally understood that Jiang Qingyao was absolutely serious.

She was incredibly earnest!

And incredibly sincere!

So earnest to the point of devotion!

So sincere to the point of humility!

The esteemed Saintess of the Yaochi Holy Land truly wanted to marry the Ninth Prince Ji Changsheng!

This...

Everyone's hearts completely exploded.

As if the heavens and earth were collapsing!

The number one dream lover of countless cultivators in the Eastern Province, the extremely noble Saintess of the Yaochi Holy Land, a future unparalleled powerhouse, was actually going to marry an ordinary mortal?!

Not only was she going to marry an ordinary mortal, but she even directly offered nine precious gifts, including the "Chi Tao," an unparalleled spiritual fruit?!

This was completely incomprehensible.

It was also completely unacceptable!

Many people felt that even if they combined all the shock and disbelief they had experienced in their lives, it would probably not compare to one-thousandth of the shock caused by this event!

This kind of shock tore apart their worldview.

But it also made them have a few more awe for this world.

After all, it's true that "nothing is impossible in this world."

At this moment, Ji Changsheng...

His whole body went numb.

He never expected...

As a man, an ordinary mortal in the world of cultivation...

He could actually enjoy such treatment!

Originally, he suspected that someone was playing a conspiracy, wanting to use him as a breakthrough point to infiltrate the Great Feather Dynasty and cause trouble.

Now he realized that a little more of this kind of conspiracy would be troublesome!

However, Ji Changsheng did not lose his rationality.

He asked again in a deep voice, "Princess, you should know that I am just an ordinary mortal."

Jiang Qingyao said, "Of course I know, but I still want to marry you."

Ji Changsheng asked again, "Why?"

Jiang Qingyao said, "Because it is destined! Because it is the will of heaven!"

Ji Changsheng was stunned.

He never expected Jiang Qingyao to give such a reason.

Of course, he didn't believe it was true.

There must be another truth.

But should he refuse Jiang Qingyao because of this?

Of course not!

Not to mention the nine great gifts sent by the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool that he couldn't refuse.

The most important thing is that if he can marry this number one beauty in the Eastern Province, the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool, who is unparalleled in talent among her peers, the rewards from the system will undoubtedly be astonishing.

No matter what, he couldn't refuse!

"Is this reason enough?"

"It's enough! It's the greatest arrangement by heaven!"

"Then, do you want to marry me?"

"I do!"
