Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

Celestial Wonders Realm, Western Divine Continent.

Above the desolate wilderness, a vast celestial mountain stretches across the clouds, surrounded by countless ancient patterns of light and darkness, giving people a sense of reverence and solemnity as if they were looking up at ancient gods.

Suddenly, a resplendent divine sound, like thunder, shook the celestial mountain, causing the heavens and earth to churn, and all living beings in the desolate wilderness trembled.

"The Jiang family dares to go too far!"

At the peak of the celestial mountain, the Desolate Heaven God Lord sat high on the Desolate Heaven Temple. Upon learning of Jiang Xuan's refusal to marry, he immediately exploded with anger and shouted in rage.

The Desolate Heaven God Lord's face was full of killing intent, and his divine eyes emitted a cold light as he coldly shouted, "Send the Lord of the Dark Abyss to the Jiang family and ask that Jiang Xuan, what makes him think he's not worthy of our Desolate Heaven Goddess?!"

The entire Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, including all the geniuses and powerhouses, trembled in their hearts. The Lord of the Dark Abyss was a killing god. There was once a first-class power that did not respect him, the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect. When the Lord of the Dark Abyss emerged, he killed tens of thousands of their disciples, destroyed their lineage, and all three of their venerable ancestors fell.

The fact that the Lord of the Dark Abyss was being sent out meant... that they were truly angry!

But when they thought about it, the fact that the Jiang family's child dared to refuse the marriage proposal filled everyone with righteous indignation and anger.

They thought of the Desolate Heaven Goddess, not to mention the fact that she was backed by the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect and had an extraordinary background. Just in terms of talent, she possessed the Mystic Yin Sacred Body, with talent comparable to the founder of the sect, and had an invincible demeanor. Moreover, her stunning beauty could rival that of the Celestial Immortals, the geniuses of the various major sects and families of the Profound Heaven, all admired and loved her.

The Goddess had set her heart on Jiang Xuan, and they were already dissatisfied, thinking that he was far from being worthy.

But at the repeated request of the Goddess, they lowered their status and took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance with the Jiang family.

But that brat from the Jiang family actually dared to refuse?

The reason was that he already had an engagement?

They had also heard about that engagement. The woman was just a member of a small family on the border, and her meridians were severed, making her a useless person.

To refuse the Desolate Heaven Goddess for a useless person?

Did they think they were idiots?

Who the hell could believe such a lousy reason?!

They were all cultivators, and being heartless and ungrateful was the norm. To give up on great opportunities for the sake of a useless person?

Unless that Jiang Xuan was an idiot!

It was obvious that the Jiang family's child simply looked down on their Goddess and deliberately made up an excuse to brush them off!

"Hold on!"

At this moment, Luo Xinglan, the Desolate Heaven Goddess, who had been standing quietly on the side, quickly stepped forward to dissuade them.

First, she respectfully bowed to the Desolate Heaven God Lord, and then looked at the many elders and geniuses in the hall with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy, as if she herself was not the one being rejected.

"A marriage alliance should be a mutual agreement. Since Jiang Xuan is unwilling, then let it be. How can we force him?"

"If this were to spread, how would the billions of cultivators in the Profound Heaven view me, Luo Xinglan?"

"Can't get married? Or can't find a man?"

Luo Xinglan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, like a shooting star tearing through the sky, dazzling and radiant.

As soon as these words came out, it caused a commotion like throwing a stone into calm water.

All the elders and geniuses anxiously said, "Goddess, you must not!"

A black-robed elder with a fierce expression looked at Luo Xinglan and said in a low, stern voice, "Goddess, you must not show kindness to someone who doesn't know how to appreciate it!"

"Since Jiang Xuan looks down on you like this, obviously he is not a suitable match. Why would the Goddess still speak to him?!"

The Desolate Heaven God Lord stared at Luo Xinglan, his eyes also filled with confusion, and said in a deep voice, "Xinglan, do you know that if this matter were to spread, your reputation would also be tarnished?"

"Even our Desolate Heaven Divine Sect would be ridiculed by the major forces of the Profound Heaven."

"To actively seek a marriage alliance and be heartlessly rejected, when has our Desolate Heaven Divine Sect ever been humiliated like this?"

Luo Xinglan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, feeling somewhat helpless. How could she not know that this matter would damage the reputation of the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect?

But... Jiang Xuan, she absolutely couldn't offend him!

She had a secret that no one knew. In fact, she... was a reincarnated person!

In her previous life, with the unmatched talent of the Mystic Yin Sacred Body, she had swept through her generation's geniuses, achieving an unparalleled reputation. She had once led the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect to dominate the Celestial Wonders Realm.

But a hundred years later, the Desolate Heaven Divine Sect encountered a great calamity. Powerful enemies attacked, and the once mighty Desolate Heaven Divine Sect was overturned in an instant. Even she was powerless to resist and died in battle.

In this life, in order to prevent this from happening again, she had been seeking a way to break the cycle.

But as a reincarnated person, her soul was damaged, and her memories were forcibly sealed. She only remembered sporadic events from her past life. Among them, the most memorable was... Jiang Xuan!

If she was the invincible genius of her previous life, then Jiang Xuan was the powerhouse who suppressed the entire Profound Heaven with a single hand!

Even before she broke through to the True God realm, Jiang Xuan had already broken free from the constraints of the Celestial Wonders Realm and ascended to pursue a higher path.

So... she wanted to seek Jiang Xuan's help.

And the most reliable method, of course, was marriage and becoming Dao companions.

For this matter, she had made numerous inquiries about Jiang Xuan, including his engagement. She thought that with her status and talent, marriage should have been a natural outcome.

But she didn't expect Jiang Xuan to be so loyal and devoted, even when the woman had become a cripple.

"A person with such loyalty and devotion, if they show goodwill now, they are more likely to help my Desolate Heaven Divine Sect overcome the great calamity." Luo Xinglan couldn't help but feel delighted, thinking that she had chosen the right person.

As for whether or not to marry, that is just a method, not the result. Even without marriage, she can still show goodwill.

"Perhaps... it would be more suitable to follow him." Luo Xinglan secretly pondered.

Immediately, Luo Xinglan raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the Desolate Heaven Divine Lord, respectfully bowing, "The fault lies not with the other party. If we insist on causing trouble, it will only make our sect appear too domineering and unnecessarily offend the Jiang family. It's not worth it."

"It was my own impulsiveness that caused this, not understanding the other party's intentions and insisting on marriage, which brought shame to our sect. I know my mistake and hope that the Divine Lord will punish me."

"You..."

Looking at Luo Xinglan, the Desolate Heaven Divine Lord sighed softly, somewhat helpless, and waved his hand to settle the matter.

"Since you put it that way, then let it be. Let's put this matter behind us and never mention it again!"

Luo Xinglan was the most promising goddess of their sect since ancient times, with a great chance of leading their sect back to its peak and dominating the Celestial Wonders Realm. How could he bear to punish her?

Although the hasty marriage caused this series of absurd events, in the end... it only damaged their reputation, which was not a big deal.

Moreover, even if the major forces in the Celestial Wonders Realm wanted to ridicule their Desolate Heaven Divine Sect, they had to consider whether they could withstand the wrath of their sect.

The elders and geniuses could only suppress their anger and swallow their grievances.

At this moment, the black-robed elder thought of something and bowed again, saying, "Reporting to the Divine Lord, when the elder of the Jiang family passed on this message, he also mentioned that one of the four outstanding talents of the Jiang family, Jiang Minghao, has had a close relationship with the goddess for a long time and wants to find an opportunity to discuss the Dao with the goddess."

"I wonder..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. They were not fools and could understand the implications of these words. A close relationship and discussing the Dao?

Was Jiang Minghao intentionally seeking a marriage with the goddess?!

If that was the case... it might not be a bad idea.

After all, as one of the four outstanding talents of the Jiang family, Jiang Minghao's talent and strength were not weaker than Jiang Xuan's. He was also a strong competitor for the position of the Jiang family's divine child and even the clan leader.

Marrying him would be equivalent to marrying into the prestigious Jiang family, which would naturally save face for their Desolate Heaven Divine Sect.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Luo Xinglan.

The Desolate Heaven Divine Lord also looked at Luo Xinglan. This method was feasible, but the prerequisite for its feasibility was... whether Luo Xinglan was willing.

Luo Xinglan frowned. Jiang Minghao? Who is that? I've never heard of him.

She didn't have any memories of Jiang Minghao from her past life, not even a hint of familiarity. It seemed... he was just an ordinary genius who wanted to discuss the Dao and marry her?

Did he really think she had no other options?

Luo Xinglan's face immediately turned cold, and she uttered disdainfully, "Is he even worthy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions froze for a moment as they stared blankly at Luo Xinglan, their faces filled with confusion. If Jiang Minghao wasn't worthy... then why did you insist on marrying Jiang Xuan?

Aren't they the same?

Seeing the goddess's cold attitude, everyone understood and didn't say anything more.

And so, they all left the main hall.

Luo Xinglan also took her leave and returned to her own Cave Mansion, but she couldn't focus on cultivation. She sat on the spiritual stone jade, lost in thought.

Since the method of marriage had already failed, what should she do? Should she take the initiative to befriend Jiang Xuan and follow him?

As she thought about it, Luo Xinglan remembered being rejected, and a trace of girlish resentment finally appeared on her cold face.

"Who rejects someone right off the bat? At least meet me first! What's wrong with me?" Luo Xinglan pouted and hummed angrily.

"Is Jiang Xuan really that loyal and devoted? He didn't abandon a person whose meridians were severed?" Luo Xinglan's beautiful eyes flickered, full of curiosity about Jiang Xuan.

"Wait... Nangong Mingyue?"

Luo Xinglan suddenly exclaimed, her eyes filled with deep confusion. Why did this name feel so familiar to her?

Could it be that this Nangong Mingyue was also a powerful figure in her past life?

A person with severed meridians... could it be?
