Su Mei certainly knew what this lake meant.

It was personally created by the Immortal King, incredibly magical, and anyone without the Immortal King’s permission couldn’t fly over or swim across; they would simply sink to the bottom, making it extremely difficult.

Just like her, although she had already advanced to Jade Immortal, she was still restrained, without a hint of suspense.

Seeing Shi Hao earlier, one foot had clearly stepped into the water, with no leverage, so clearly, the Illusionary Sea Immortal King didn’t intend for him to cross so easily.

Then, in the next moment, Shi Hao performed Swift Footsteps.

This, how could she believe it?

No wonder the Illusionary Sea Immortal King held a son-in-law choosing contest for this young man; indeed, this young man possessed mystical abilities and had limitless potential.

As a father, marrying his beloved daughter to such a promising talent should be reassuring.

Indeed!

Su Mei sighed slightly, but this guy is really troublesome; he has already killed seven descendants of Immortal Kings, and there might be others undiscovered. If those involved Immortal Kings were pulled out, it would surely give the Illusionary Sea Immortal King a headache.

However, the ultimate decision on who Su Manman marries was in the hands of the Illusionary Sea Immortal King. If he insisted, he would have prepared to face off with a group of Immortal Kings.

...

Shi Hao walked over the water, mist swirling around, clear yet hazy, with a strong disorienting effect, causing Shi Hao to almost circle back several times.

The fact that the Illusionary Sea Immortal King was titled with "Illusion" showed his expertise in this field.

But after a while, Shi Hao finally saw a giant golden lotus blooming at the center of the lake, and within the lotus sat a handsome middle-aged man.

He had seen him before.

Illusionary Sea Immortal King!

"Son-in-law greets father-in-law!" Shi Hao hurriedly saluted, shamelessly assuming the role of son-in-law.

"Did I agree to marry my daughter to you?" the Illusionary Sea Immortal King spoke, his voice calm, without a hint of emotion.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Father-in-law set the test, and I passed it, naturally becoming your son-in-law!"

The Illusionary Sea Immortal King didn’t speak immediately but looked at Shi Hao as if trying to see through his heart. After a moment, he said, "Indeed, you are outstanding, but mere talent is not enough!"

"Of course, there’s also the most important point." Shi Hao said with utmost seriousness, "I love Manman, and Manman loves me!"

The Illusionary Sea Immortal King couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Manman is my only daughter, and you want to marry her so casually?"

Shi Hao presented the Immortal King Gold he had obtained earlier, offering it to the Illusionary Sea Immortal King, "As a son-in-law, I present this piece of Immortal King Gold as a bride price, asking father-in-law to marry Manman to me. I will protect Manman for life and not let her suffer a bit."

The Illusionary Sea Immortal King also showed surprise, realizing that acquiring Immortal King Gold wasn’t easy, many requiring thousands of years of fortune.

After all, the amount of Immortal King Gold was extremely rare, needing both strength and fate to obtain.

Yet, Shi Hao had unexpectedly acquired two pieces of Immortal King Gold, and he was still just a Golden Immortal, such fortune was truly heaven-defying.

"You are very good." The Illusionary Sea Immortal King’s tone softened, and even his face revealed a smile, "When I first saw you in the Mortal Realm, I never imagined someday you’d stand here asking for my blessing."

Inwardly, Shi Hao quipped, "I am not marrying you!", but he said nothing and simply smiled.

Evidently, the Illusionary Sea Immortal King appreciated him, and he just needed to listen, fearing if he said something wrong, the Immortal King might misunderstand him as arrogant.

"To reach this step from a mortal body is truly remarkable!" The Illusionary Sea Immortal King smiled, "The key point is, you are only an eight-star in cultivation!"

That’s simply terrifying, even the Illusionary Sea Immortal King felt inferior.

What combat power did he have at eight stars back then?

Limitless but not breaking the limit.

No way, what is a limit?

If it could be easily broken, would it still be called a limit?

But Shi Hao?

Clearly, he was just an eight-star Golden Immortal, yet his combat power surged past fifteen stars, he was simply abnormal.

—He was an Immortal King, happenings in his domain were under his control, so-called inspector departments only proved useful when he was too lazy to pay attention to the underlings.

What happened in the Blue Mongolia City of the Dead, the Illusionary Sea Immortal King "saw" clearly, gaining a full understanding of Shi Hao’s power.

This young man was extraordinary, clearly just a Golden Immortal, yet breaking his rules and flying when even Jade Immortals could not.

This son’s future achievements are limitless!

However, precisely for this reason, the Illusionary Sea Immortal King hesitated.

Advancing to Immortal King, especially since he reached the rank of seven-star, naturally qualified him to know certain top secrets.

For instance, wanting to become an Immortal Venerable would mean facing the danger of opposing other Immortal Venerables.

Don’t mind the supremacy of Immortal Kings, before Immortal Venerables?

Being one-hit KOed!

So the more monstrous Shi Hao was, not only could an Immortal King be expected, but even Immortal Venerable wasn’t impossible to strive for, yet for the Illusionary Sea Immortal King, the more he worried if such qualifications might alert Immortal Venerables?

Stand out in the forest, and winds will destroy, hasn’t such a thing happened often?

But if not befriending such a genius as a son-in-law, would it be cheap for others?

The Illusionary Sea Immortal King laughed heartily; he was decisive as expected, only hesitated due to his only beloved daughter.

But now, he had made his decision.

"I accept your bride price!" He said softly.

He naturally agreed to marry his daughter to Shi Hao.

"Thank you for making it happen, father-in-law!" Shi Hao respectfully saluted, smiling as well.

Actually, when the Illusionary Sea Immortal King referred to himself as "I" before him, Shi Hao knew the marriage was secure.

"Go, prepare yourselves, after a few days you’ll be wed," the Illusionary Sea Immortal King said.

Shi Hao wanted to say something but didn’t.

—He wanted to bring his father over, but Shi Feng was in the Hongwu Immortal Domain; if he went back, it would inevitably alert the Hongwu Immortal King, so could he still go there to ask for marriage later?

Oh, does the Immortal King disregard face?

It’s just a ceremony, talent is what matters most.

"Go ahead." The Illusionary Sea Immortal King waved his hand.

Shi Hao nodded and turned to leave.

At the lakeside, Su Mei was still waiting for him. Seeing Shi Hao return, she immediately asked, "What did the Immortal King say?"

Shi Hao beamed with a smile, "Naturally, waiting for the wedding!"

Su Mei showed excitement, clenched her fist hard.

This time, Shi Xiuxiu should be greatly affected.
