Chapter 1429: Demon Clan Son-in-law
The news that Chen Nan was about to marry Yuan Sensen left the Demon Clan feeling incredulous, but after giving it some thought, they realized it was indeed a good idea.
Because with this, Chen Nan would become one of their own in the Demon Clan.
"There’s no time to lose, let me prepare the wedding for you, and hopefully, you’ll have a child soon."
Ao Hao laughed, appearing just like an elder eager for offspring, especially since for the Demon Clan, the next generation is extremely important.
Chen Nan helplessly twisted his mouth: "How could it be so quick?"
"But you’re not tricking me into marrying a Demon Clan woman, are you?"
"Do I need to trick you?" Ao Hao chuckled: "Alright, just prepare to be the groom."
The Divine Calculator squatted to the side, feeling extremely dejected: "Do you all think so little of this Daoist? Even if I’m a bit older, and even if less attractive, this Daoist doesn’t mind!"
A simple and hastily arranged wedding was held on the Flying Boat.
The ceremony was very simple and followed the rituals of the Demon Clan, exuding a sense of wildness and brutality.
The Demon Clan’s marriage customs are not filled with as many formalities as the Human Clan’s, but are straightforward and crude; on the wedding day, the bride must stay at home, and the groom is supposed to break into her home and take her away.
This is to show the groom’s strength to the bride.
Chen Nan played the part of the abducting groom, feeling like a bandit.
Several young members of the Demon Clan guarded the door, only making a symbolic attempt to stop Chen Nan before letting him through. Then he rushed into the room and seized Yuan Sensen.
Since there was only one Flying Boat, it was simply a matter of moving from one room to another.
Shutting the door blocked out the noise from outside.
Chen Nan glanced at the bashful Yuan Sensen sitting there and thought, feeling guilty, that this young girl looked no older than seventeen or eighteen.
However, appearances can’t determine age in the Demon Clan; he approached and sat beside Yuan Sensen.
"Uh...how old are you?"
"I’m still very young." Yuan Sensen tucked her hair behind her ear, "Just three hundred and sixty-eight years old."
Chen Nan was taken aback; even her age’s remaining digits surpassed his, yet three hundred years in the Demon Clan genuinely only categorizes her as a little girl.
"So, marrying me, do you regret it?"
"Of course not," Yuan Sensen replied hastily.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Chen Nan reached out and held her small hand: "If you remain true to me, I will remain true to you."
This promise deeply warmed Yuan Sensen’s heart; when would those rugged Demon Clan members ever speak like this?
Initially, Chen Nan just wanted to use the Demon Clan’s power to head into the Inner Sea, but now he genuinely held a place for Yuan Sensen in his heart.
Outside, laughter and noise persisted, while inside, passion surged, with only the Divine Calculator left feeling tearless in spirit.
...
Three days post-wedding, Chen Nan and Yuan Sensen hadn’t left the room. Initially, Yuan Sensen was shy, but soon enough, her Demon nature emerged.
Not only did she prevent Chen Nan from leaving, but also she liked to take the lead, with a long tail at the base of her spine adding an extra touch of exotic charm.
When Chen Nan rubbed his sore waist and stepped out, Ao Hao immediately pulled him aside; now that Chen Nan was one of them, he needn’t be embarrassed about certain things.
"We need Elixir Pills; everyone must recover to peak condition."
Chen Nan was startled: "Is there another hurdle to reaching the Inner Sea?"
"Of course, did you think the Inner Sea is easy to access?" Ao Hao chuckled, "As far as I know, the Heavenly Cutting Abyss also hosts ’Yin Beasts’!"
"Yin Beasts?"
"Exactly, Yin Beasts, like the Ghost Clan, are creatures born from Yin Energy, yet unlike the Ghost Clan, Yin Beasts lack such intelligence and are merely considered demon beasts."
"But as the Heavenly Cutting Abyss is an Extremely Yin Land, the Yin Beasts born there are formidable, some even on par with me, so we must prepare accordingly!"
Chen Nan agreed, but curiously asked: "How do you know about the situation below the Heavenly Cutting Abyss? And if you knew, why were you captured by the Ghost Clan?"
Ao Hao took a deep breath, looking up into the impenetrable darkness above: "Our Demon Clan once had predecessors explore the Abyss and return with some information."
"But none of it mentioned the Ghost Clan."
"I see." Chen Nan nodded: "If that’s the case, let me go and craft the Elixir Pills, although I’m running low on Spiritual Medicine."
Of course, Chen Nan was making this up; when he and the Divine Calculator were together, they collected countless storage bags on the battlefield, plenty of Spiritual Medicine.
Expecting him to help for free was out of the question, even if he was now considered part of the Demon Clan family.
"Don’t worry, we will provide all necessary Spiritual Medicine to you, since you are the only one skilled in Alchemy," Ao Hao said calmly.
"That would be perfect."
Returning to the room, Chen Nan informed Yuan Sensen about his planned Alchemy retreat, and Ao Hao had already delivered all sorts of Spiritual Medicine. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The Demon Clan needed Healing Pills for injuries, Essence Pills to restore energy, and some Elixir Pills for cultivation.
After organizing the Spiritual Medicine, Chen Nan found that he would still have plenty left after crafting the Elixir Pills, making him beam with joy.
It was essential, as not only did his cultivation require Spirit Stones, but maintaining the Time Domain also consumed them; though he had many, eventually they would be exhausted.
Thus, he had to find ways to earn more Spirit Stones for cultivation!
Chen Nan secluded himself in the room, setting up an Array, but in fact, he entered the Immortal Palace Space and the Time Domain.
This way, he could not only craft the Elixir Pills but also have time to cultivate.
In the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, time could not be felt, with no sense of day and night, so even Ao Hao was unsure how much time had passed.
Yet, he estimated that over a month had definitely passed!
In that month, Chen Nan’s Elixir crafting speed was terrifying, capable of producing hundreds of Elixir Pills daily.
Now the Demon Clan members not only fully recovered but also replenished their Essence Energy that had been drained, with some even breaking through using Chen Nan’s Elixir Pills.
"It seems the time has come."
Ao Hao glanced at a tightly shut door in the Flying Boat cabin, muttering to himself.
In the Immortal Palace Space, Chen Nan’s cultivation had reached a critical juncture.
In the Time Domain, while one month passed outside, ten months elapsed for him inside.
During these ten months, he not only refined the Yin Yuan absorbed during dual cultivation with Yuan Sensen, but he even consumed a Demon Spirit Pill at the Demon King Level!
