At this moment, Prince Zhen Nan glanced at Bai Qingqing, realizing she seemed unwilling to marry Lu Chen.

However, he didn’t care. Even if Bai Qingqing was unwilling, she would have to marry.

For years, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor had given Bai Qingqing so many cultivation resources, nurturing her to the mid-stage Human Realm. For what purpose? Wasn’t it to make her an important woman beside Lu Chen?

In this era, women didn’t have many choices.

Prince Zhen Nan asked, "Bai, are you willing to marry Chen’er?"

Even though he knew Bai Qingqing was unwilling to marry, Prince Zhen Nan still asked. He wasn’t asking Bai Qingqing but wanted a clear answer from her.

Bai Qingqing didn’t struggle much internally. She indeed didn’t look kindly upon Lu Chen, this timid and cowardly wastrel, but considering Prince Zhen Nan’s nurturing grace, and with his impending death, it was time to repay the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

Moreover, she herself didn’t care much about matters of emotion. She had long prepared not to marry in this life, so even if she married Lu Chen, it wouldn’t affect her much; it was merely about sleeping with Lu Chen.

She believed that once Lu Chen’s memory was restored, he would surely regret today’s decision. Perhaps he wouldn’t even need her to say anything, and the first thing Lu Chen would do after recovering his memory is to propose annulment.

Lu Chen was most afraid of the eerie and evil spirits, and a Spirit Martial Artist, to become stronger, constantly needed to deal with them. That was why Lu Chen was so afraid of her.

In the past, Lu Chen wouldn’t even touch her body; seeing her alone was enough to keep her away from him. If Lu Chen’s memory were restored, forget sleeping with her, he might not even dare to speak to her.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing directly said, "My Lord, I grew up in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor; my life was saved by you. Without you and the Prince Manor, I would have been long dead."

"I was born a person of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor and will die as an entity of it. I will care for the heir as best as I can, and if he thinks well of me, I am willing to continue the bloodline for the Prince Manor."

Upon hearing Bai Qingqing’s response, Prince Zhen Nan said satisfactorily, "If that’s the case, I’ll leave Chen’er to you from now on."

Lu Chen quickly thought of something and said to Prince Zhen Nan, "Father, let me marry Sister Bai tomorrow."

Upon hearing these words, Prince Zhen Nan paused, then his aged gaze revealed a hint of comfort, assuming Lu Chen was eager to marry Bai Qingqing to let him witness this before dying.

Bai Qingqing was slightly surprised; she hadn’t expected Lu Chen to be in such a hurry. But she quickly understood, sharing Prince Zhen Nan’s thoughts; she also believed Lu Chen was hastening the marriage to let Prince Zhen Nan witness it, leaving no regrets.

In fact, Lu Chen did want Prince Zhen Nan to die without regrets, but his main reason for hastening the marriage with Bai Qingqing was to quickly gain a reward. He knew clearly, once Prince Zhen Nan passed away, he might need to mourn him for several years, during which he couldn’t marry, thus preventing him from obtaining the system rewards.

So he needed to marry quickly while Prince Zhen Nan was still alive, acquiring rewards from the system and verifying whether it was useful.

After coming to his senses, Prince Zhen Nan looked at Bai Qingqing, "Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Qingqing immediately replied, "Everything follows the heir’s will."

Prince Zhen Nan then instructed the steward, "Alright, go and prepare."

The steward replied, "Yes, My Lord."

Immediately, everyone at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor began preparing, and in less than half a day, the entire manor became lively, adorned with red and festive decorations.

Even though the Zhen Nan Prince Manor was now in decline, it was still Dazhou’s only Alien King household, whose preparations quickly drew attention from various forces.

Princess Mansion.

Ji Yunmeng sat cross-legged on a soft couch, refining Spirit Evil Qi; before her lay a corpse of an evil spirit with a mask, the face mask being human, the body animal, emitting strong spiritual evil.

This Spirit Evil Qi was absorbed by Ji Yunmeng to refine her physical body; it was the cultivation method of a Spirit Martial Artist.

As the Spirit Evil Qi on the evil spirit’s corpse lessened, Ji Yunmeng gradually opened her eyes. A maid entered the hall, sensibly standing aside without disturbing her upon seeing Ji Yunmeng cultivating.

Ji Yunmeng simply asked, "What’s the matter?"

Only then did the maid report, "After the heir returned, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor adorned itself with festive decorations and red characters, suggesting the heir is about to marry."

Upon hearing the maid’s report, Ji Yunmeng was slightly surprised.

Marry?

The heir just lost his memory and returned to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, and now he is about to marry?

Ji Yunmeng quickly understood the situation, realizing Prince Zhen Nan was indeed nearing his end and eager to see Lu Chen marry before dying.

Otherwise, royal and noble families always chose an auspicious day, even for concubinage, never in such haste.

Ji Yunmeng said, "Inquire when the heir is marrying and which family’s girl he is marrying."

Since the Zhen Nan Prince Manor had already started decorating, it suggested Lu Chen was about to marry someone soon.

Ji Yunmeng wanted to ally with the Prince Manor, so naturally she had to prepare a congratulatory gift for the heir’s wedding.

After her words, the reporting maid was about to leave when Xiao Qi entered the hall.

"Princess, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor sent a wedding invitation."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunmeng was a bit surprised; she had intended to send someone to inquire whom Lu Chen was marrying, but unexpectedly, the invitation arrived quickly.

The invitation naturally contained the bride’s name and wedding date. Ji Yunmeng waved her hand, and the invitation flew into her grasp from Xiao Qi.

Ji Yunmeng glanced through the invitation content and was not overly surprised.

When Prince Zhen Nan brought Bai Qingqing into the manor and nurtured her with various resources, people had speculated Prince Zhen Nan’s intentions, so Bai Qingqing marrying Lu Chen was expected.

Though Lu Chen had just returned, getting married the next day was without consulting an auspicious day. This urgency illustrated Prince Zhen Nan’s dire straits.

It seemed to ally with the manor; the gift had to focus on extending the prince’s life.

Ji Yunmeng contemplated briefly and said to Xiao Qi, "I recall the Wang Family recently acquired a Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit?"

Upon hearing Ji Yunmeng’s query, Xiao Qi instantly understood her intention, replying, "Yes, Your Highness. Shall I fetch it from the Wang Family now?"

Ji Yunmeng replied calmly, "Go ahead."

The Wang Family, already a secret vassal to Ji Yunmeng, though the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit was precious, suppressing spiritual evil and extending a Spirit Martial Artist’s life, they naturally would offer it if Ji Yunmeng desired.
