After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 557 - 361: Marriage Allows Logging? (Part 2)

Seeing Gu An’s confusion, the old woman explained, "You may state your demands, and I will submit them for final discussion."

After thinking for a moment, Gu An said, "With my limited talent, I need a top-notch Protective Dharma Treasure, a treasure capable of long-distance teleportation, and treasures and Arrays to suppress and protect my residence.

I also need a spirit pet of the same level as the Fire Phoenix, hoping it can assist me in my cultivation.

Additionally, I require Elixir Pills, Spiritual Medicine, a Protective Puppet, and top-level Cultivation Techniques and Skills."

Gu An spoke quite unreservedly.

He felt that his demands were already quite excessive.

The Sect would never agree to them.

The old woman noted everything down carefully, and when Gu An mentioned the Fire Phoenix, she hesitated for a moment before continuing to record.

Once Gu An stopped speaking, the old woman repeated what she had recorded and asked if there were any more demands.

Gu An shook his head.

He couldn’t think of any useful demands for the time being.

After all, his knowledge was quite limited.

Besides, these demands were already excessive. Although the master said I could make demands, being reckless could be dangerous.

The intention was to hope they would abandon choosing him.

"I will submit your demands now, and you can wait here for a moment," the old woman said.

With those words, the old woman disappeared from the spot.

Mei Jianghe looked at Gu An and tentatively asked, "Junior Brother, have you become the marriage partner?"

He hadn’t heard much, but that was what Gu An had asked earlier.

So he made that association.

Gu An nodded awkwardly, "Mm."

"For many, that would be considered a good thing," Mei Jianghe said with a smile. "But seeing how you look, Junior Brother, you don’t seem too pleased."

Gu An lowered his brows, "I’ve embarrassed Senior Brother."

Indeed, it’s embarrassing.

Getting married, yet imposing all sorts of demands.

It felt greedy and insatiable.

Who knows what Senior Brother Mei thought, but Gu An couldn’t be bothered with that.

If this identity were confirmed, problems would arise continuously.

The people of the Zhuanlun lineage would come looking.

Additionally, the Royal Family might pose hidden dangers.

This Commandery Princess was also a headache.

Some matters in the Divine Monarch Hall would become inconvenient.

However, the old woman quickly returned.

Gu An thought this time his demands would all be rejected.

"They agreed," the old woman said calmly.

Gu An was about to say that if they were rejected, he wouldn’t disturb the senior anymore.

But before the words could leave his mouth, he was a bit taken aback, then said, "Agreed?"

"Mm, they decided not to let you marry into the family, but rather to marry a wife, and the Sect will provide the betrothal gifts.

The items you requested will be prepared by the Royal Family as the Commandery Princess’s dowry." The old woman continued, "Additionally, the Peak Master, having heard of your insights into logging, has decided to open part of the special forest for you after the marriage contract is finalized.

If you have further questions, you can continue to think them over once you return.

However, the marriage partner will be announced this month, and the verbal marriage arrangement will be established.

Within three months, the marriage contract will be written in your Essence Blood and presented to the nine days.

For safety, the Sect will first keep the marriage contract in custody.

With the contract in hand, escaping this marriage is impossible.

Soon, someone will extract your Essence Blood, so be prepared and enhance your status."

Gu An listened, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

In the end, he didn’t even know how he returned.

His mind was filled with thoughts of the special forest.

Moreover, he didn’t have to marry into the family.

This made him feel that the Sect was very accommodating, but adding another person would indeed affect the future.

Sitting in his residence, Gu An let out a heavy sigh.

While he was still considering the gains and losses, a Communication Talisman from Pang Wen flew in.

It contained only one line: "Senior Brother’s marriage partner has been announced; it’s the First Institute."

The voice carried a tone of surprise.

Gu An: "...."

Was this month’s announcement happening today?

He felt none of the Sect’s words could be trusted.

Now that the marriage partner had been announced, anything he did would be in vain.

He could only take one step at a time.

Logging...

He really lacked special wood.

With the news already out, Gu An had no intention of returning to the Outer Peak.

Because the storm was coming.

The people of the Zhuanlun lineage would be the first to find him.

They would want to make him one of them.

Just like Senior Sister Xue Ying.

Especially this time, the one watching, might not be any weaker than myself.

We must be cautious in our response.

While Gu An was still pondering, Senior Sister Qing arrived.

She saw Gu An and smiled, saying: "I heard Junior Brother has become the royal marriage partner."

Gu An looked at her and shook his head slightly, then said: "Thank you for your help before, Senior Sister."

To this, Senior Sister Qing just shook her head: "Senior Brother Fang said these small matters needn’t trouble Junior Brother. By the way, I heard that the Zhuanlun lineage might target the marriage partner, and Senior Brother Fang feels Junior Brother’s safety is somewhat at risk.

So he asked me to bring this."

Saying that, she handed a pure white bead to Gu An: "This is a defensive treasure, even a strong one above Returning to Void would need several seconds to break through.

It should be somewhat useful for Junior Brother."

Gu An dared not accept it, quickly saying: "It’s too valuable."

Above Returning to Void would be Immortal Bridge.

A treasure of Immortal Bridge for me?

I am superficially at Golden Core Late Stage.

This Immortal Bridge is a bit too much.

I merely dare to buy Magic Treasures of Primordial Spirit, to guard against those of the Same Realm.

So I don’t have to reveal my cultivation.

After all, if someone at Golden Core Perfection suddenly targets me, even just to make me a laughing stock, I couldn’t resist with my Golden Core Late Stage.

At this time, having a Primordial Spirit Magic Treasure seems very useful.

Although no one has moved yet, it’s precautionary.

"Then sell it to Junior Brother." Senior Sister Qing smiled and said:

"Senior Brother Fang also has some interest in Buddhist methods. If Junior Brother has Mahayana Buddhism, remember to offer it to Senior Brother Fang.

Of course, Senior Brother Fang has some bottlenecks in his cultivation—if Junior Brother has Elixir Pills that can break through, you could exchange those as well.

But first, we’ve provided the reward anyway."

Upon hearing this, Gu An hesitated for a moment, but in the end, accepted the bead.

The approach of the opposite party is not forceful at all.

Showing adequate respect.

This item is indeed quite good.

Priceless for me at Golden Core Late Stage to use, with a proper and clear origin.

However, Gu An couldn’t help but admire how quickly the other party came.

The item was probably prepared in advance.

As for Elixir Pills to enhance perception, Gu An felt they were subtly referring to Chen Changfeng.

If even Senior Brother Fang couldn’t obtain such pills, there’s no way he could.

So only someone like Chen Changfeng, naturally gifted at treasure hunting, has such capability.

After sending off Senior Sister Qing, Gu An remained silent for a moment.

Eventually, he sighed.

"Big brother is going to marry?" asked Fat Tiger.

Gu An looked at him.

The latter quickly explained: "Little Blood, I didn’t mean to listen."

Gu An slightly shook his head and said: "No problem."

Fat Tiger thought for a moment and said: "Big brother, I have a Dual Cultivation method."

Gu An didn’t pay him any mind and said: "Do you have Mahayana Buddhism?"

"Ancient Martial Divine Monarch should have it; big brother could exchange for it if you wish," Fat Tiger said.

Gu An pondered for a moment, then said: "Not necessary for now."

Currently, with his strength, he couldn’t initiate trades.

Only see if passive trades are possible to receive some reward.

Just like the Star Spirit Pearl type of passive trade.

The opposite needs it, and he has it.

Then he can get a reward.

Unsure whether the Huan Yu Divine Monarch has obtained the item.

...

Spirit Controlling Peak.

Tang Lan Fairy was somewhat shocked, saying: "First Institute actually became the marriage partner, can we still target him?"

The man drinking tea sighed slightly: "Report it, now he’s not someone we can easily target, the cost is too great.

If anyone else wants to provoke, let them try.

Inform them of Chen Changfeng’s matters, tell that person above."

"Given his nature, would he target people in the First Institute, and strike before the marriage papers come down, could it also bring trouble to us?" Tang Lan cautiously asked.

"We merely report Chen Changfeng’s matter, other things are unrelated to us, even if it comes to the Law Enforcement Hall, they can’t do anything to us." The man calmly said.

The next day.

People from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived at the First Institute.

Shu Ci was somewhat worried, wanting to ask what was happening.

But as soon as she went out, she was directly suppressed by the Law Enforcement Hall people.

"What are you doing?"

"Junior Sister Shu, someone reported that you’re a spy from another sect, come with us."
