Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 614 - 190: Forgetting the Wedding Night, Tempering the Soul for a New Beginning

Xie Jian’an said, "Two men having a chat, no need for women to join. Speaking of which, this is my first son-in-law, hahaha."

Xie Yu’s cheeks turned even redder, as if on fire.

But Xie Jian’an had already left with big strides, drunkenly arriving at the courtyard and then looking up at the young man sitting under the moon.

At first glance, he was full of praise, exclaiming, "Like a man from heaven."

Li Yuan turned his head to see a drunken man next to him with the data "1405~15256" floating beside him.

This data was very peculiar, and Li Yuan felt that even his own "500-year Lifespan Weapon" might not reach such a level.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he coldly asked, "Who are you?"

"The Hanzhou Marshal, Xie Jian’an."

Only then did Li Yuan stand up, respectfully saying, "Ximen Gucheng greets the Marshal."

"Old Fang praises your sword skill as being divine, but I have yet to see it.

How about this: let’s each draw a sword and strike at each other... If you pass, there’s no need for a tournament match.

Your master must have sent you here to gain worldly experience.

If you succeed, you will be my son-in-law."

As Xie Jian’an spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately someone brought two fine Sixth Grade swords. He held one himself, and handed the other to the young man in white opposite him.

Li Yuan carefully wiped the handle before gripping it, then looked at the sword in Xie Jian’an’s hand and suddenly sighed lightly.

Xie Jian’an curiously asked, "Why the sigh?"

Li Yuan didn’t answer, just raised his sword and struck.

Xie Jian’an knew it had begun.

In that instant, he swung wide and fast, the cold blade in his hand stretching to its limit, Source Blood surging through his veins, his muscles swelling and turning red, even emitting a faint white mist.

Soon after, a gust of wind whirled in the courtyard, as the blade was hurled down with reckless force.

Li Yuan swung his sword casually, with ease and grace.

The two blades collided.

Thunk!

Ssss...

After a brief sound.

Xie Jian’an saw that the sword in his hand had turned into metallic fragments scattered in the air, leaving a few sparkling drops under the galaxy.

He abruptly looked up, only to see Li Yuan’s sword unharmed.

"The sword had a spirit, yet has passed without choosing a master, and it’s truly worth a sigh."

Li Yuan finally softly answered the earlier question.

Feeling somewhat forlorn, he sheathed his sword and then handed it back to Xie Jian’an, saying, "Find a good master for this sword."

Xie Jian’an accepted the sword and said, "Three days from now is an auspicious day. How about getting married then?"

Li Yuan replied indifferently, "Okay."

Xie Jian’an asked, "Will any of your masters be attending?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

Xie Jian’an nodded, then suddenly changed his expression, smiling and asking, "Son-in-law, want to go for a drink?"

Laughing again, he asked, "Want to have fun with some girls?"

Li Yuan: ???

Xie Jian’an laughed, "I know you haven’t had fun yet, coming from overseas, you haven’t seen the true splendor of the Central Plains, come... your future father-in-law will show you around!"

Saying this, he patted Li Yuan on the shoulder and hooked him by the arm to take him away.

Li Yuan frowned, showing just the right amount of disdain, but seemed restrained due to Xie Jian’an’s position as both Marshal and elder.

...

That night, Li Yuan experienced an unexpectedly surreal night.

He had imagined many possibilities, but never this one.

That night, he was dragged by the "Hanzhou Marshal" he had just met to drink with courtesans.

Xie Jian’an outwardly claimed he instantly hit it off with his future son-in-law and wanted to show him the splendor of Mingyue Prefecture, but in reality, it was just an excuse to go out drinking with courtesans...

Xie Jian’an, taking Li Yuan with a straight face out of the mansion, soon transformed into a sneaky look, detouring to the Golden Lotus Building, and spending lavishly, taking over the entire place, inviting his future son-in-law to indulge in the revelry.

Li Yuan immediately drew his sword, and any girl who dared approach had the blade placed against her neck.

Until late at night, Xie Yu, Fourth Madam, along with Fang Tong and some experts from the residence, stormed into the Golden Lotus Building. They saw their disheveled and drunken lord amidst a heap of rouge and powder, and the untouched, sword-wielding, vigilant future son-in-law, and were all speechless.

Xie Yu drew her sword, scattering away the women surrounding Li Yuan, then grabbed Li Yuan’s hand, glaring at those women fiercely, and angrily said, "Let’s go!"

Li Yuan got up and followed her.

As soon as they exited the Golden Lotus Building, they boarded a carriage.

In the carriage, Xie Yu then realized their fingers were interlocked, and suddenly her heart raced.

However... she gently felt the grip, the warmth of the hand, and imagined this hand touching and caressing her untouched body, a tingling sensation seemed to surge through her skin, the excitement from her heart making it beat faster, even her breath became slightly rapid in the darkness of the carriage.

She managed to squeeze out two words with a dry mouth, "Back home."

As the carriage wheels turned, she vaguely heard Xie Jian’an’s voice from afar.

"Son-in-law, don’t go!

Let’s have fun together, hahaha..."

Fourth Madam, Fang Tong, and others watched the scene speechlessly.

Fang Tong turned his head, solemnly saying, "No one is to speak of tonight’s events."

As he finished speaking, they saw the scantily clad, disheveled master rush out of the Golden Lotus Building, running into the street, chasing the already distant carriage, shouting as he ran, "Son-in-law, don’t go, let’s have fun together."

Fang Tong was caught off guard, and when he regained his composure, he witnessed this absurd scene.

Fourth Madam covered her face and screamed.

Fang Tong hurriedly waved his hand, "Quickly bring the master back!"

He led the experts of the mansion in pursuit, but Xie Jian’an, barefooted and with disheveled hair, ran down the street like a madman, laughing and chasing after the carriage, spouting nonsense.
