Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 910: The Marriage Proposal

A long howl broke the tranquility of Liuhu Village.

Upon hearing this howl, dozens of martial artists from Liuhu Village rushed out from their homes and converged on the square at the eastern end of the village.

"It’s that bunch of bastards from Shi Village!"

"What do they want to do this time?"

"It doesn’t look good!"

"Hmph, if they come to bully us again, we’ll fight them to the death!"

"Right! Fight to the death!"

...

When they saw the dozen or so black-clad martial artists in the square, the martial artists of Liuhu Village were instantly inflamed with fighting spirit. They spread out and surrounded the black-clad martial artists from Shi Village layer by layer.

It was these martial artists from Shi Village, relying on the presence of a Heaven Level Expert in their village, who often came to Liuhu Village to show off their power and bully the villagers. Not long ago, they even forcefully took away the cultivation resources that the martial artists of Liuhu Village had worked so hard to obtain from the mountains.

Liuhu Village and Shi Village had been enemies for hundreds of years with constant disputes. Shi Village, being more powerful, had always suppressed Liuhu Village. Without a Heaven Level Expert, even when bullied by Shi Village, Liuhu Village ultimately had no choice but to swallow their grievances.

Although there were only a dozen Shi Village martial artists who came to Liuhu Village this time, these were the strongest in Shi Village. Facing the encirclement of dozens of Liuhu Village martial artists, they showed no fear, each with a face full of mockery and disdain.

In their eyes, although there were many martial artists from Liuhu Village, they were just a disorderly mob, vulnerable and easily defeated.

"Shi Yan, what esteemed business brings you to our Liuhu Village?"

The face of Liuhu Village Chief Liu Poshan was covered with a frosty chill as he walked out from among his village’s martial artists, standing opposite the black-clad elderly man with half-white hair and beard, and coldly asked.

Liu Poshan had suffered a great loss at the hands of the black-clad elder across from him and was quite wary of him. As he spoke, Essence Energy filled the air around him. He was highly vigilant as if facing a great enem.

The elder with half-white hair and beard was the Chief of Shi Village, Shi Yan, and the village’s only Heaven Level Martial Artist. Hearing Liu Poshan’s question, he "hehe" laughed, clasped his fist towards Liu Poshan, and said, "Village Chief Liu, don’t be nervous. I have come to you this time to discuss a matter... Relax, this matter will be all to the benefit of Liuhu Village and not in the slightest harmful!"

Village Chief Liu had dealt with Shi Yan for dozens of years and knew him all too well. How could he believe his nonsense? With a cold snort, he said, "What matter?"

Shi Yan twirled his beard, his gaze sweeping over Liu Qingqing who stood behind Liu Poshan, then pointed to a young man beside him, and said, "My son, Shi Feng, has reached the age suitable for marriage. He has taken a fancy to your granddaughter quite early on, feeling that Miss Qingqing is his perfect match..."

Before Shi Yan could finish, the martial artists of Liuhu Village had already begun to stir, each one’s face filled with anger.

Liu Qingqing was the only person in Liuhu Village in hundreds of years to possess an Innate Spiritual Root, and she was also the one most likely to breakthrough to the Heaven Level Realm. Furthermore, her future cultivation in the Martial Dao would certainly not be limited to this level.

With Liu Qingqing present, the rise of Liuhu Village was inevitable. Once Liu Qingqing surpassed Shi Yan’s strength, the villagers of Liuhu Village, under her leadership, would be able to wash away their shame and hold their heads high.

And Shi Village, which had been embroiled in enmity with Liuhu Village, would undoubtedly become the primary target of Liuhu Village’s retribution.

But now, from what Shi Yan suggested, he actually wanted to match Liu Qingqing with his son, Shi Feng.

Once Liu Qingqing married Shi Feng, she would be a person of Shi Village, and by then, Liuhu Village would have no hope of rising.

Shi Yan’s actions were effectively pulling the rug from under their feet, revealing his wolfish ambitions. If he succeeded in his cunning plan, it would be a significant blow to Liuhu Village.

Liu Qingqing herself paled, her teeth biting her lips, her fists clenched tightly. Seeing Shi Feng eyeing her with lust, a sense of panic surged within her, and she turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

As for Shi Feng, Liu Qingqing had a thorough understanding of him. Although he did not possess an Innate Spiritual Root, his talent was not bad. Coupled with Shi Yan spending a lot of cultivation resources to assist his cultivation, he had reached the Earth Level High Rank realm at a young age, making him stand out among his peers in the neighboring villages.

However, with a face full of fleshy growths, Shi Feng was not only ugly but also very short-tempered. His notorious arrogance and domineering reputation were well-known around the great lake area. Plus, considering the deep-rooted enmity between Liuhu Village and Shi Village, Liu Qingqing would rather die than marry Shi Feng.

"Your son wants to marry my daughter? Dream on!"

Liu Qi stepped forward, glowered at Shi Yan and Shi Feng, and flatly refused.

Before Shi Yan could respond, Shi Feng was already irate, his eyes bulging as he pointed at Liu Qi and yelled, "Liu Qi, my young master marrying your daughter is an honor for you! Don’t spurn the toast only to drink a forfeit! Let me tell you, I’ve set my mind on marrying your daughter!"

Liu Qi was not the least bit weak, shouting back fiercely, "Even if it costs me my life, I won’t let you have your way!"

Shi Yan coughed loudly to interrupt the pair, then turned to Liu Poshan with a smile, "Village Chief Liu, if your granddaughter marries my son, Liuhu Village and Shi Village would then be related by marriage. From now on, with Shi Village backing you up, no one would dare to bully the people of Liuhu Village. This would be beneficial for both parties. Why not agree to it? Village Chief Liu, you should consider it carefully!"

Liu Qi spoke up loudly, "No need to consider, I will never agree to this! Qingqing will never marry Shi Feng!"

"Indeed, she won’t marry him!"

Liu Liehu shouted from behind.

Liu Poshan was not only the Village Chief of Liuhu Village but also Liu Qingqing’s grandfather. His word was law in Liuhu Village, and the decision of whether Liu Qingqing would marry was his to make. Thus, all eyes were now focused on him.

Seeing her grandfather silent and deep in thought, Liu Qingqing feared he might be swayed by Shi Yan’s words. Her bright eyes filled with tears, on the brink of falling, making her look pitiful.

"My granddaughter Qingqing, who possesses an Innate Spiritual Root, is a Heaven’s proud daughter with boundless potential on the Martial Dao. Your son... is not worthy of her!"

After a moment of silence, Liu Poshan met Shi Yan’s gaze and said each word emphatically.

No sooner had his voice fallen than the dozens of martial artists from Liuhu Village behind him erupted into cheers.

Liu Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief, lowered her head to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and broke into a smile.

However, the faces of the martial artists from Shi Village darkened, and they became increasingly menacing.

"Liu Poshan, have you really made up your mind? You’ll regret it!"

Shi Yan wore a cold smile, his tone turning unfriendly as he released the pressure of a Heaven Level Expert, bearing down on Liu Poshan.

Liu Poshan felt as if an invisible mountain had come crashing down on him, almost suffocating him. His face slightly changed as he quickly circulated True Yuan, resisting with all his might, and gritted his teeth as he said, "I’ll only regret if Qingqing marries your son! Shi Yan, don’t think that just because you are a Heaven Level Martial Artist you can do whatever you want! If you push too hard, we’ll fight to the bitter end!"
