Hua Manlou looked at Zheng Shixun's eyes on her daughter, and her heart became more and more filled with strange feelings, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't find out what the problem was.
He shook his head, drove away the bad thoughts, and asked: "Mr. Zheng, why are there only three of us? Where is Chang Xu's child?"
Only then did Zheng Shixun turn his gaze to him, with a smile still on his face, but looking increasingly cold.
"Changxu went out to deal with a young boy who provoked him."
Hua Manlou frowned again. The Zheng family invited their father and daughter to come to the banquet, but asked Zheng Changxu to go out. This clearly showed some disrespect for them.
"Mr. Zheng, today is the first time the two children have met. Do you think we should call him back?"
"It's not necessary. It's the same with or without him." Zheng Shixun smiled sinisterly, "To tell you the truth, it's me who likes your daughter, and it has nothing to do with my great-grandson."
"What?"
The expressions of the father and daughter of the Hua family changed drastically. They never expected that the old man would say such a thing.
"Mr. Zheng, are you kidding us?"
Hua Manlou's expression was extremely gloomy. Even if it was a joke, it would be inappropriate for the two families to meet formally for the first time. Besides, Zheng Shixun's seniority was there, so he shouldn't make such a vulgar joke at all.
"Of course I'm not kidding, I'm serious."
Zheng Shixun smiled again, looking very good and eager to talk.
"Let me tell you a secret. The reason why I have been practicing so quickly for so many years is because I got a fragment of a technique decades ago, which can absorb yin energy to nourish my body and quickly improve my cultivation level.
It is precisely because of this that I was able to achieve breakthroughs one after another, and now I am already in the late stage of the Martial Saint."
"Later stage of the Martial Saint?"
Hearing these four words, Hua Manlou's heart suddenly sank. He thought that with his cultivation in the late Heaven level, even if he looked at the entire Bangbang country, he would not have too many opponents.
Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him turned out to be a late-stage Martial Saint. The gap was really too big.
Zheng Shixun still had a sinister smile on his face and continued talking.
"But the residual chapter is the residual chapter. This thing still has shortcomings. Although it improves my cultivation very quickly, it does not help my longevity at all, and too much Yin Qi will even affect my lifespan.
As a result, although I have the cultivation level of a late-stage Martial Saint, I do not have the longevity of a Martial Saint, and I see the end approaching.
Fortunately, there is another technique in the remaining chapters, which is to take another person's body and be reborn, so that I can extend my life with the help of other people's bodies."
Hearing this, Huamanlou pulled her daughter, took a few steps back, and said with a gloomy look: "What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, listen to me and finish slowly."
Zheng Shixun added, "It's just what you think, your daughter is the furnace I chose.
Since my technique is too yin-y, the best way is to find a woman to borrow my body to be reborn, so that the impact on my body will be smaller.
However, this cauldron has strict requirements and is really difficult to find. Based on the comprehensive conditions such as birth date and horoscope, it was finally found that your daughter fully meets the requirements. This is why our Zheng family traveled thousands of miles to China to propose marriage.
Okay, I’m done, there are some things that I’ve been holding in my heart for too long, so it’s easier to say them out.”
Hua Manlou's heart sank to the bottom of her heart. She originally thought she had found a good match for her daughter, but unexpectedly she fell into a big trap and was completely deceived.
Without any further hesitation, he grabbed Hua Ruyu and ran away. No matter what, he would take his daughter and escape from here.
"It's useless, you can't escape."
Zheng Shixun's gloomy laughter came from behind, and then a cold breath came towards him, hitting Huamanlou directly.
"I'll fight you."
Although he had already sensed the opponent's strength, Hua Manlou still did not hesitate and punched out with all his strength.
There was a muffled bang, and his punch was like hitting an invisible wall of air, knocking him back seven or eight steps, but it had no effect on the opponent.
"Don't struggle with a small heavenly step. Don't break my cauldron."
As soon as the words fell, a huge coercion suddenly came over, directly pressing Hua Manlou to death, unable to move at all.
"I will fight with you."
Hua Manlou's eyes were filled with hatred and he was trying his best to circulate his Qi. Unfortunately, the gap in cultivation was too big and could not be made up by all his efforts.
Then a wisp of finger wind came and directly sealed his acupuncture points.
"A mere ant actually dares to say that he will fight me to the death. Do you have the qualifications?"
Zheng Shixun laughed proudly, "I won't kill you now, but I will let you see with your own eyes how I took your daughter away.
Now there is still an hour until midnight, you two, father and daughter, enjoy the last period of your life, there will be no more in the future."
"Daughter, I am sorry for you!"
A line of old tears flowed down Hua Manlou's cheeks. At this moment, his heart was filled with regret, as he had personally sent his daughter into the pit of fire.
"Why, do you feel particularly regretful now?"
Zheng Shixun stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked proudly.
"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. The reason why you proposed marriage is to save some trouble and let you send the person over by yourself.
Even if you didn't agree at the beginning, I wouldn't let such a good furnace go. The most I can do is go to China in person."
Hua Manlou's eyes were bloodshot: "Don't you just want the cauldron? Then you can take the body from me. I will never resist and give this body to you voluntarily."
"You want to be my cauldron, but you don't have the qualifications yet."
Zheng Shixun shook his head, his face full of disdain.
"The best thing about my yin attribute skills is to use a woman as a furnace. Although your physical body is not bad, but the birth date and other horoscopes do not match it. The most important thing you practice is the yang attribute skills. For me,
Said it has no use value at all."
"Daughter, I am sorry for you. It is my father who is useless and cannot protect you."
The desperate Hua Manlou looked at Hua Ruyu again, filled with regret.
The thing he loved most in his life was his daughter. He was originally worried that no one would take care of Hua Ruyu's thoughtfulness in a hundred years, so he married into the Zheng family, but instead he killed his daughter with his own hands.
"Dad, it's okay. Maybe this is my fate. I don't blame others."
Now that things have happened, Hua Ruyu has no choice but to let two lines of pure tears flow.
At this moment, that handsome face suddenly appeared in her mind, Brother Xiaofan, it seems that I am destined to be a passer-by in your life.
I originally thought that man was just a temporary shield for me, but I didn't expect that in the last moments of my life, he would be the one I missed the most.
"You're right, being my cauldron is your destiny..."
Just when Zheng Shixun was feeling proud, suddenly there was an angry shout from above the Zheng family, "Old dog of the Zheng family, come out and die!"
The sound was like a thunder, completely breaking the peace of the entire manor.
Zheng Shixun's expression turned cold instantly: "Damn it, who dares to cause trouble for my Zheng family?"
After saying that, he strode out of the room. It was about to be time for him to seize the body. This important matter related to rebirth must not be destroyed by anyone.
