Dashing Student Chapter 1429: Demon Clan Son-in-law

The Demon Clan was wrapped in a state of disbelief upon hearing that Chen Nan would wed Yuan Sensen. However, upon further contemplation, they conceded it was a prudent decision.

This union would effectively integrate Chen Nan into the very fabric of the Demon Clan.

"Let us not waste any time; I shall arrange the wedding festivities immediately. I also hope a child will soon bless your union," Ao Hao declared with a hearty laugh, embodying the eagerness of an elder anticipating new life, especially given the paramount importance of the next generation to the Demon Clan.

Chen Nan offered a helpless grimace. "Is it truly possible so quickly?"

"Surely, you are not suggesting I would deceive you into marrying a Demon Clan woman?"

"Why would I need to resort to deception?" Ao Hao chuckled, his eyes twinkling. "Simply prepare yourself to be the groom."

The Divine Calculator, perched nearby, slumped in dejection. "Does no one value this Daoist priest? Though I may be advanced in years, and perhaps less comely, this Daoist priest is still willing!"

A modest and swiftly organized wedding ceremony took place aboard the Flying Boat.

The rites were simple, adhering to Demon Clan traditions, and carried an aura of untamed ferocity.

Unlike the elaborate rituals of the Human Clan, the Demon Clan’s marriage customs are direct and robust; on the wedding day, the bride remains at home, from which the groom must forcefully retrieve her.

This act serves to demonstrate the groom’s prowess to his bride.

Chen Nan, playing the role of the spirited groom abducting his bride, felt akin to a brigand.

Several younger members of the Demon Clan made a perfunctory stand at the door, feigning resistance before allowing Chen Nan passage. He then strode into the chamber and claimed Yuan Sensen.

As only a single Flying Boat was involved, the transition was as simple as moving from one room to another.

Closing the door effectively muffled the clamor from the outside world.

Chen Nan observed the demure Yuan Sensen seated before him, a twinge of guilt surfacing as he noted the young woman appeared no older than seventeen or eighteen.

Yet, physical appearances in the Demon Clan are not indicative of true age; he approached and sat beside Yuan Sensen.

"Um... how old are you, precisely?"

"I am still quite young," Yuan Sensen replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Only three hundred and sixty-eight years old."

Chen Nan’s eyes widened in surprise; even her remaining years far exceeded his own lifespan, yet three centuries in the Demon Clan truly designated her as merely a girl.

"So, marrying me, do you harbor any regrets?"

"Absolutely not," Yuan Sensen answered swiftly.

Noticing her flushed demeanor, Chen Nan gently took her small hand. "If you remain steadfast in your devotion to me, I shall reciprocate that loyalty throughout."

This solemn vow resonated deeply within Yuan Sensen’s heart; when had members of the rough-and-tumble Demon Clan ever spoken with such tenderness?

Initially, Chen Nan’s intent was solely to leverage the Demon Clan’s might for passage into the Inner Sea, but now, Yuan Sensen occupied a genuine space within his affections.

Outside, revelry and boisterous cheers continued unabated, while within, a burgeoning passion ignited, leaving only the Divine Calculator in a state of forlorn solitude.

...

Three days following the wedding, Chen Nan and Yuan Sensen remained secluded. While Yuan Sensen initially displayed bashfulness, her inherent Demon nature soon flourished.

Not only did she assert her claim over Chen Nan’s time, preventing his departure, but she also relished taking the initiative, her long, elegant tail at the base of her spine adding an alluring, exotic grace.

As Chen Nan emerged, rubbing his sore waist, Ao Hao immediately drew him aside; now a member of their clan, Chen Nan needn't feel any embarrassment discussing intimate matters.

"We require Elixir Pills; all must be restored to their optimal state."

Chen Nan’s brow furrowed in surprise. "Are there further trials to endure before reaching the Inner Sea?"

"Undoubtedly, do you imagine entry into the Inner Sea is a simple matter?" Ao Hao chuckled. "To my knowledge, the Heavenly Cutting Abyss also harbors formidable ’Yin Beasts’!"

"Yin Beasts?"

"Precisely, Yin Beasts. Akin to the Ghost Clan, they are beings conceived from Yin Energy. However, unlike the Ghost Clan, Yin Beasts lack sentience and are regarded simply as barbaric beasts."

"But given that the Heavenly Cutting Abyss is an area saturated with Extreme Yin, the Yin Beasts spawned there possess immense power, some even matching my own capabilities. Therefore, we must make thorough preparations!"

Chen Nan readily agreed but posed a curious question. "How did you ascertain the conditions within the Heavenly Cutting Abyss? And if the knowledge was available, why were you captured by the Ghost Clan previously?"

Ao Hao drew a deep breath, his gaze lifting towards the unyielding darkness above. "Our Demon Clan dispatched predecessors who ventured into the Abyss and returned with fragments of crucial intelligence."

"Yet, none of their reports mentioned the Ghost Clan."

"I understand," Chen Nan nodded. "In that case, allow me to commence the crafting of the Elixir Pills. However, my supply of Spiritual Medicine is dwindling."

Of course, Chen Nan was fabricating this tale. He and the Divine Calculator had amassed a vast quantity of Spiritual Medicine from countless storage bags collected on the battlefield.

Expecting him to assist without compensation was simply out of the question, even with his current standing as part of the Demon Clan.

"Fear not, all the necessary Spiritual Medicine shall be provided to you, as you are the sole practitioner of Alchemy," Ao Hao stated with a calm demeanor.

"That would be splendid."

Upon returning to his quarters, Chen Nan apprised Yuan Sensen of his impending Alchemy seclusion. Meanwhile, Ao Hao had already procured and delivered a comprehensive assortment of Spiritual Medicine.

The Demon Clan required Healing Pills to mend injuries, Essence Pills to replenish depleted energy, and a selection of Elixir Pills for advancement in cultivation.

After meticulously organizing the Spiritual Medicine, Chen Nan discovered he would still possess a substantial surplus even after crafting the Elixir Pills, a realization that brought a wide grin to his face.

This was crucial, not only because his own cultivation demanded Spirit Stones, but also due to the continuous consumption associated with maintaining the Time Domain. Despite his considerable reserves, they would eventually be depleted.

Therefore, he absolutely had to devise methods to acquire more Spirit Stones for his cultivation endeavors!

Chen Nan then retired to his room, where he erected an Array. In actuality, he entered the Immortal Palace Space and activated the Time Domain.

This strategic move allowed him to simultaneously craft Elixir Pills and dedicate time to his cultivation.

Within the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, the passage of time was imperceptible; there was no distinction between day and night. Consequently, even Ao Hao was uncertain about the exact duration that had elapsed.

However, he made an educated guess that over a month had certainly passed!

During this extensive month, Chen Nan's Elixir crafting speed proved to be astonishing, enabling him to produce hundreds of Elixir Pills each day.

As a result, the Demon Clan members not only made a full recovery but also replenished their drained Essence Energy. Furthermore, some even achieved breakthroughs in their cultivation by consuming the Elixir Pills crafted by Chen Nan.

"It appears the opportune moment has arrived."

Ao Hao cast a glance towards a heavily secured door within the Flying Boat's cabin, his voice a low murmur.

Inside the Immortal Palace Space, Chen Nan's cultivation had ascended to a critical threshold.

Within the Time Domain, while a mere month passed in the outside world, a full ten months transpired for him internally.

Over the course of these ten months, he not only refined the Yin Yuan elements acquired during his dual cultivation with Yuan Sensen but also partook in a Demon Spirit Pill, a rare artifact of the Demon King Level!
