Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 47: New Achievements

"This is just a proposal, Fellow Daoist Lan and Miss Yue Ning don't have to force themselves!"

"..."

After Xu Mu finished speaking, there was a long silence in the tent.

A graceful lady and a gentleman are a perfect match!

Since they must establish a family and take wives and concubines, Xu Mu naturally hopes to find someone who knows their roots and is pleasing to the eye.

There's nothing to be coy about!

If he didn't have the strength, saying such things would be a joke!

Lan Shijin wouldn't even bother acknowledging him and would leave on the spot.

They might not even be able to remain friends in the future!

But now that he has shown enough strength.

Matching backgrounds!

It's only natural for men to marry and women to marry, it's human nature!

There's another reason, to prevent the other party from reaching Liyang Sect and leaking his information to the Luo family, he can only accept the other party.

Otherwise, for his own safety, he would have to kill to keep it a secret.

In fact, when Lan Shijin asked him for help, it was already destined.

This is the first time that Leng Yue Ning's face turned red, her hands clutching her clothes like a shy little girl.

She doesn't have any ill feelings towards Xu Mu, and even has some favorable impressions.

Especially when he decisively refused the invitation from the Chi family for their sake.

But...

How can this be acceptable?

Normally, they barely interacted, and she has a great relationship with Ye Yingying, who even has Xiao Ling call her sister every day.

Lan Shijin's eyes twitched.

She thought, this bastard really has ulterior motives!

He actually has his eyes on her daughter!

But...

It's not impossible!

Although she hopes her daughter can find someone better, Xu Mu is not too bad either.

In terms of strength and income alone, Xu Mu is already a top choice, and judging from his character, he will definitely not let Leng Yue Ning suffer. The only thing worth criticizing is his age.

It's not a problem for Leng Yue Ning to reach the later stage of Qi Refining in the future, and she even has the potential to achieve Foundation Building, while Xu Mu is already in his sixties, and the possibility of achieving Foundation Building is not high.

In a few years, he might become old and feeble.

So she is somewhat resistant!

But Xu Mu has done them a favor now, and he treats them well on a regular basis, so she can't directly refuse.

Looking at her daughter's expression, it seems like she's somewhat willing, which makes Lan Shijin even more troubled.

She has taken such good care of her daughter on a regular basis, so she hasn't had much contact with men, at most it would be Xu Mu.

It's normal to develop some feelings when they spend time together day and night.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how confident are you in achieving Foundation Building?" After a moment of silence, Lan Shijin suddenly asked.

"I dare not say it's a hundred percent, but I'm about seventy to eighty percent confident!" After all, he has the system, so he still has some confidence.

Lan Shijin's eyes suddenly lit up.

She didn't expect the other party to have such great confidence.

And isn't this the best reason?

"Fellow Daoist Xu isn't just talking big?"

"Of course not!"

"Then, Fellow Daoist, how long do you think it will take for you to break through?"

"Within ten years!"

Although Lan Shijin doesn't believe what Xu Mu said, she immediately showed a pleased expression.

"Since that's the case, let's make a ten-year agreement. If Fellow Daoist can advance to Foundation Building within ten years, I will marry my daughter to you. If not, please don't bother us anymore!"

Xu Mu remained silent for a moment before speaking, "That's not a bad idea! But it seems like I'm at a disadvantage in this agreement!"

If he can achieve Foundation Building, there's no shortage of women he can find.

Lan Shijin is basically just talking nonsense, finding an excellent backup for her daughter.

"What do you think we should do, Fellow Daoist?"

Lan Shijin also knows that her agreement is a bit unfair.

"How about this! If Fellow Daoist really intends to marry Yue Ning, let's sign a marriage contract first. It's just a formality, and if I can't advance within ten years, everything will be voided! Fellow Daoist knows my character, I will definitely not act recklessly!"

Of course, he wouldn't resist if the other party took the initiative.

Once they sign the marriage contract, they will be considered a family. If Lan Shijin leaks the information to the Luo family, she won't be able to escape either.

This is the biggest concession Xu Mu has made!

"Well..."

Lan Shijin looked at her daughter.

Leng Yue Ning's face had already turned red to the point of dripping blood.

"Ning'er, what do you think?"

"Mm!"

Lengyue Ning lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito, and softly responded with a "mm."

Lan Shijin felt annoyed.

Can't she be a bit more reserved?

Sigh!

A woman should not reveal too much!

"Well then!"

Xu Mu saved their lives. If it weren't for a marriage certificate, they would still have gained a great advantage.

"There's one more thing! Regarding my strength, Blue Fellow Daoist and Miss Lengyue, please do not disclose it to anyone, otherwise it may cause big trouble!" Xu Mu said solemnly.

Both nodded, thinking that Xu Mu was afraid of trouble from Xiao Yi's relatives and friends.

Then Xu Mu walked out of the tent, borrowed ink and brushes from Zhang Shouren for drawing talismans, as well as animal skin paper. He quickly wrote the marriage certificate, and both parties signed their names and pressed their handprints.

"From this day forward, we are bound in marriage, becoming a couple. The red string is already tied, and we will be together until old age. May the flowers bloom and the moon be full, and may we be happy together. Let the sea dry up and the rocks crumble, we pledge our love before the mandarin ducks. This is our solemn agreement."

Looking at the contents of the marriage certificate, Lengyue Ning blushed and her heart raced.

Although it was just an agreement, with no legal effect, and couldn't impose any constraints, Lengyue Ning suddenly felt a special place for the other person in her heart. It was a strange feeling.

And at the moment the marriage certificate was established, Xu Mu didn't expect that the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Achievement Obtained - Blessing of the Matched Pair!]

[Blessing of the Matched Pair: Increases Luck value by 20 points every day!]

[Luck value: Can be used to improve skill proficiency, but cannot directly improve cultivation!]

"I didn't expect it to work like this!"

Xu Mu was overjoyed, feeling like he had found a loophole in the system.

Seeing Xu Mu's happy appearance, Lan Shijin suddenly felt a bit worried. Could this guy be intentionally deceiving me and looking for an excuse to attack?

What should I do? Should I resist?

Or should I comply?

Fortunately, Xu Mu didn't transform into a beast and attack her. He just said hello and left, giving Lan Shijin a false alarm.

However, Lengyue Ning felt a little bit of disappointment in her heart.

Due to last night's incident, the team didn't set off until close to noon and walked slowly, resulting in a considerable distance between them and the other teams.

The four of them, all in the late Qi Refining stage, had become extremely cautious, not daring to separate for fear of being individually defeated by Xu Mu.

If it weren't for their relatives and friends in the team, they would have probably abandoned the team and run away on their own.

To increase their defensive strength, the four of them contacted other teams and decided to camp together at night.

"Sister Su, are you okay?"

On the way, Xu Mu asked Su Qing, who seemed absent-minded.

After losing the protection of Xiao Yi, Su Qing joined Xu Mu's team with her family to have someone to rely on, but her mood was obviously not good.

There was no way, anyone who lost their husband wouldn't be in a good mood.

However, Su Qing was more concerned about the road ahead.

Without Xiao Yi's protection, it would be difficult for her to reach Liyang Sect on her own.

"I'm fine!"

Su Qing forced a smile.

She didn't really care about Xiao Yi's death. After all, they were just acting together and had a cooperative relationship.

When Xiao Yi died, she even breathed a sigh of relief. But considering the road ahead, she couldn't help but worry.

"If Sister Su is worried about the road ahead, why not follow us? I have some means to take care of you, Sister Su!" Xu Mu had already considered this when he killed Xiao Yi.

He had a good impression of Su Qing and wouldn't mind helping her.

"Oh? Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist, but I can handle it myself. I don't want to trouble you!" Su Qing smiled awkwardly.

Xu Mu's team consisted of the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. It would be a problem for them to take care of themselves, let alone taking care of her.

It sounds ridiculous!

Could this guy have any ideas about me?

He's really old but not mature!

Isn't one enough?

Tch!

I'm not interested in you!

She knew Xu Mu's true age and thought he was still at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

In her eyes, Xu Mu, apart from alchemy, didn't meet her requirements in other aspects. This old cultivator without potential was simply not worth her attention.

The slight favor she had towards Xu Mu in her heart was completely destroyed by his enthusiasm.

On the following journey, she intentionally or unintentionally distanced herself from Xu Mu, so as not to give others the wrong impression and make it difficult to find another partner.

Before entering the depths of the jungle, she wanted to find another backer, preferably someone in the late Qi Refining stage.

Seeing her attitude, Xu Mu was speechless.

Do I have to make a move again and accept her?

After a day of traveling, the two teams gathered together, forming a larger group, and set up camp by a small stream.

With some free time, Xu Mu told Lan Shijin to take care of the team and eagerly entered the tent. He took out Xiao Yi's storage bag and the storage bags of Zhou Chong and the others from last time, and began to sort out the gains.
