"Have you ever witnessed an heir or a youth with immense cultivation talent from a major clan getting married at such a tender age?" Chen Lingwei remarked. "Marrying too early is detrimental to one's physical well-being. Typically, only those in influential families who lack the potential for cultivation are coerced into early marriage to ensure the lineage continues as quickly as possible."
Su Jiaojiao let out a sigh. "Those clans are truly cold-blooded. Isn't that just ruining people's lives?"
"It isn't necessarily ruining them. Those with poor cultivation talent will never progress, regardless of how hard they practice. For them, it is better to wed early and taste the pleasures of life," Chen Lingwei said with a faint smile. "In fact, they might even view it as a stroke of luck."
"Is marriage not more than just two people sharing a home?" Su Jiaojiao questioned. "How is it linked to enjoying life? Does it imply one cannot find joy without a spouse?"
Chen Lingwei was momentarily speechless, struggling to find an appropriate response. How could she explain to her grandson that marriage facilitates the intimate bond shared between a husband and wife?
Suddenly, Su Mengyun spoke up, "We shouldn't generalize. Perhaps Wang Yue possesses such exceptional talent that his youth won't be an obstacle."
Exceptionally talented?
Chen Lingwei instinctively turned her gaze toward Wang Yue, and a strange sensation stirred within her heart.
Naturally, she wouldn't harbor any scandalous thoughts about her own grandson just because of her daughter's comment. However, the suggestion did ignite a flicker of contemplation in her mind.
She was, after all, a woman—one who had long since reached maturity but still possessed a body full of vitality. She experienced all the natural desires common to any woman.
Yet, following the incidents of the past, she and her husband had grown cold toward one another, and he had not touched her since. Three decades had slipped away since that time.
What did it mean for a woman with a healthy body and normal urges to live without sexual intimacy for thirty years?
Though she occasionally sought self-gratification, manual relief could never truly rival the genuine experience.
Usually, she suppressed such thoughts. But today, the conversation between her daughter and granddaughter—specifically the phrase "exceptionally talented"—had sparked her imagination.
Nearby, Wang Yuyao was also drowning in similar reflections.
Just two days ago, I spent time with my dear nephew. However, after only three brief climaxes, I was unable to satisfy his needs at all. Now that the subject of practicing dual sexual techniques has been raised again, I feel even more restless. My aunt’s description of Wang Yue's traits, intended to provoke my mother's interest, has made it hard for me to keep my composure.
Consequently, Wang Yuyao hurried through her meal, grabbed Wang Yue by the arm, and informed Chen Lingwei, "Mother, I need a private word with Yue. We'll return shortly."
She dragged him away without checking if he had finished his breakfast. "Wait for me!" Su Jiaojiao shouted, rising to follow. She was well aware of why her mother was pulling her cousin aside.
Having overindulged the previous day, Su Jiaojiao had no appetite this morning, yet she remained highly stimulated. She seemed to possess a primal fascination with carnal matters. Even if she wasn't a participant, observing others—especially her mother and cousin—brought her immense excitement.
Chen Lingwei was used to their energetic behavior and didn't suspect anything unusual.
At that moment, Su Mengyun remarked, "Mother, I believe Jiaojiao is correct. It is time for Yue to marry. Ideally, he should take several wives. He is, after all, the sole male heir among our three prominent families."
"Isn't it a bit premature? We should wait a few years," Chen Lingwei countered. Young men often lack restraint in these matters. If he has only one wife, I fear for his health. But if he has many, he might indulge day and night, which could ruin his Foundation in the martial arts.
"But what if Yue truly is exceptionally talented?" Su Mengyun smiled. "The priority now is to coordinate with the Chen family. If they consent, I intend for both Jin Er and Xiu Er to marry Yue."
"That is out of the question," Chen Lingwei said, her brow furrowing. "They are cousins. What would become of their offspring if they wed?"
"Qing Luan might have a remedy," Su Mengqing suggested. "She possesses knowledge on how to circumvent the risks of inbreeding."
"However, since she has chosen a life of celibacy, she hasn't studied the matter in depth. If required, I can ask her to investigate further."
Su Mengqing was referring to Miao Qinglan, one of the four legendary physicians in Jinling.
The Miao family boasted a long medical lineage and maintained a neutral, detached stance from worldly affairs.
Since Miao Qinglan emerged as a medical prodigy, the family's prestige had climbed even higher.
Because of their isolation, the Miao family rarely associated with other Sects or clans.
Nevertheless, Miao Qinglan and Su Mengqing shared a close friendship.
Both women were unmarried and shared many common interests.
As the president of the Jinling Adventurers Association, Su Mengqing frequently dealt with the Miao family.
The life of an adventurer involves constant peril, and grave wounds often require the expertise of a family of physicians like the Miaos.
Su Jin Er and Su Xiu Er felt a wave of gratitude toward their mother and aunt.
They were providing their sisterhood a legitimate status. Both physically and emotionally, they were now deeply enamored with their cousin, feeling destined to spend their lives with him.
As cousins, they previously had to meet in the shadows.
But if the issue of inbreeding could be solved, they could be with their cousin openly. Even if Chen Xi remained the primary wife, they would no longer live in fear of public scandal.
Chen Lingwei, having no strong objection, simply nodded. "We shall see how things develop."
While the Su family discussed Wang Yue's marital future and the boy himself was busy with Cultivation at his aunt's residence, the Zhang family of Tianhai had convened once more.
The assembly was similar to the previous day, though joined by a white-haired elder and a stern middle-aged man.
The elder was the Zhang family patriarch, a formidable expert at the middle stage of the Fifth Layer of the Degenerate Mortal Realm. Having lived for nearly three centuries, he was a living relic.
With his level of Cultivation, maintaining a youthful look would be effortless. He could regain his youth in a heartbeat if he chose.
For reasons known only to him, he preferred to keep his aged appearance.
The middle-aged man was the third patriarch, a powerful figure at the late stage of the First Layer of the Degenerate Mortal Realm and the grandfather of the current head, Zhang Jianyuan.
The indifference of the previous day had vanished, replaced by a heavy solemnity among the Zhang family members, including the patriarchs.
They had gathered because the second patriarch and his entourage, who were expected in Jinling this morning after departing yesterday, had vanished. All communication had been severed.
Their last known location was near a small town under Zhang family jurisdiction.
Once their disappearance was confirmed, Zhang Jianyuan ordered an immediate inquiry. The results had just arrived.
As the head of the family, Zhang Jianyuan spoke: "Our investigation shows no evidence of a struggle within a large radius of their last position. Yet, we cannot reach them. There are only two paths: either they disabled their vehicle's tracking and diverted elsewhere, or they met a powerful foe and were either slain or taken captive."
While Zhang Jianyuan offered two theories, everyone understood the first was merely a comforting lie. There was no logical reason for the second patriarch to go rogue.
