Ye Chuanze thought that his expression at this moment must look incredibly foolish.
He calmed the turmoil in his heart and tried to steady his voice, "What did you just say? I think I must have misheard."
"You heard me right. I said, please marry me!" Kitsunetsu said with a smirk.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I am serious."
"Alright..." Ye Chuanze rubbed his forehead with his index finger, looking utterly helpless, "I believe you are seriously joking!!"
"I am sincerely proposing to you. What will it take for you to believe me?" Kitsunetsu looked equally helpless, seemingly troubled by Ye Chuanze's disbelief. "How about I send someone to Yunze Cave to deliver the betrothal gifts?"
"…Stop joking around. Our races are different." Ye Chuanze replied with a tone of resignation.
"Is that what you're worried about? The Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus born from the Chaos Azure Lotus is a sufficient match for my Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox." Kitsunetsu said with a smile, completely unconcerned about the racial disparity between them.
The two continued their conversation as if no one else was around, completely unaware of how shocking their words were. Poor Zhen Yuanzi, sitting innocently beside them, had an expression filled with astonishment. Had he missed some crucial plot point? When did these two become close enough to discuss marriage and betrothal gifts?
"Do you need me to educate you on common sense?" Ye Chuanze suddenly changed his expression and spoke in an incredibly cold and noble tone, "I am the transformed form of the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus birthed by the Chaos Azure Lotus. Do you know what the Chaos Azure Lotus is? In the ancient primordial era, before heaven and earth were opened, the entire world was nothing but chaos. Within it was birthed a Chaos Azure Lotus, from which Pangu the Great emerged, ah no... he descended holding the divine axe of creation."
"Do you know what that means?" Without giving him a chance to respond, Ye Chuanze continued, "I can tell you don't know, so let me clarify. This means that the Chaos Azure Lotus is the mother that birthed Pangu, and it also birthed the Twelfth-Grade Annihilation Black Lotus. In other words, I and Pangu the Great came from the same mother’s womb, ah no... were born from her. So, I and Pangu the Great are brothers, blood-related! Absolutely genuine!!"
"……" Now it was Kitsunetsu's turn to be shocked, seemingly stunned by Ye Chuanze's incredible reasoning.
Poor Zhen Yuanzi, who had been sitting there like a statue beside them, looked horrified. Why did he have to be hurt time and again? He began to regret sitting next to Ye Chuanze. Why was he sitting beside this calamity? Why did he have to endure one shock after another! No, it wasn't him sitting next to Ye Chuanze, it was Ye Chuanze who had actively come over to sit beside him. So was he innocently caught in this mess?
Thinking carefully, it seems that every time I encounter Ye Chuanze, nothing good comes of it. Either my spirit is shocked, or my body is harmed. He... he shouldn't have gotten to know this disaster from the very beginning! Zhen Yuanzi lamented in his heart, wishing he could pound his chest and stomp his feet in regret.
"Do you understand now?" Ye Chuanze coldly curled his lips, speaking with overwhelming authority, "What are the Twelve Ancestor Witches? What are the Three Pure Ones? How dare they claim to be the authentic Pangu! Is there anyone more authentic than me? I was born of the same mother as Pangu the Great!" The poor and innocent Twelve Ancestor Witches and Three Pure Ones were caught in the crossfire.
"This is truly..." Kitsunetsu was so stunned that he couldn't find his words. Looking across the Primordial realm, there was probably no one else who would dare to speak so boldly, questioning what the Twelve Ancestor Witches and Three Pure Ones were. "How arrogant!" Even Kitsunetsu, who usually considered himself unruly, had to concede defeat in the face of Ye Chuanze's overwhelming arrogance.
"So do you understand now?" Ye Chuanze looked at Kitsunetsu with a cold and noble gaze.
"Understand what?" Kitsunetsu asked, reacting a beat too late. Poor him; he was still immersed in Ye Chuanze's earlier display of dominance and couldn't snap back to reality.
"Oh? It seems you still don't understand." Ye Chuanze looked down at him, his thin lips parting as he coldly declared, "You still don't understand the gap between us. It's not that you criticize me; it's that you are simply unworthy of me!"
"With just your little Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, you think you can marry Pangu the Great's brother!"
Kitsunetsu instantly felt a pang of pain; a look of anguish crossed his face. Damn it, how can we even communicate like this! The person I want to marry is a complete lunatic; is there anything more tragic than this?
No, there is something worse. The more tragic thing is that behind this lunatic stands a vengeful and possessive existence with overwhelming power—you should be grateful you don't know about this. So ignorance is bliss.
For a moment, Kitsunetsu hesitated. Was it a mistake to pursue this lunatic? Should he change his plans? But when he saw the gaze of various powerful beings in Primordial gathering towards him, all traces of doubt vanished from his mind. There was no turning back; even if the other party was a lunatic, he had no room for regret and could only brace himself.
"Actually, I think I'm quite good. You see, I was born into the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan with noble blood. As the king of the Fox Clan, I possess power and wealth over the entire Azure Hill. Moreover, I believe I look quite good," Kitsunetsu enumerated his advantages in an attempt to win Ye Chuanze's heart. "And also, racial discrimination is wrong! As a demon, one shouldn't have such narrow-minded views!" Kitsunetsu lectured earnestly.
"Really not considering me?" Kitsunetsu asked and then added after some thought, "If you're looking for someone whose status matches yours based on what you just said, then you'll never get married."
"Who says so?" Ye Chuanze reflexively retorted. It was hard to compare Hongjun with Pangu; however, Hongjun was stronger than him and held a higher status without question.
As soon as those words left Ye Chuanze's mouth, he realized he had misspoken and quickly tried to salvage it: "What makes you think I can't find someone? I think the Three Pure Ones are quite good; they are authentic descendants of Pangu and match my status well." The poor Three Pure Ones were already caught in the crossfire for the second time today; fortunately for them, the Twelve Ancestor Witches escaped disaster due to their looks not meeting Ye Chuanze's aesthetic standards.
"..." Kitsunetsu's lips moved, but in the end, he swallowed back the words "You were just looking down on the Three Pure Ones." At this moment, facing the overwhelming aura of Ye Chuanze, who was both cunning and aggressive, Kitsunetsu truly didn't dare to provoke him.
"Um..." Zhen Yuanzi, who had been left out for a while, weakly spoke up.
Ye Chuanze and Kitsunetsu turned their heads in unison, their gazes fixed on him.
Zhen Yuanzi suddenly felt a great deal of pressure. He said, "Isn't the focus of your discussion... wrong?"
"Where is it wrong?" Ye Chuanze asked.
Kitsunetsu looked at him with a similar expression, silently inquiring.
"You two have been arguing about the issue of different races since earlier..." Zhen Yuanzi said.
Seeing that the two still looked confused, Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to continue, "Shouldn't it be... the same gender?"
"What about the same gender?"
"What about the same gender?"
Ye Chuanze and Kitsunetsu spoke almost in unison.
"..." Zhen Yuanzi was left speechless by their firm responses. The same gender? That's a big problem, isn't it?
Ye Chuanze and Kitsunetsu—one had long since been bent and could not be more so; in his subconscious, love existed only between the same sex, while the opposite sex could only be admired from afar. The other was influenced by his race and nature; the Fox Clan traditionally produced beautiful beings, and male fox spirits were often more beautiful than female ones. Thus, in the Fox Clan, appreciating beauty among the same sex was entirely normal. The Fox Clan believed that beauty was unrelated to gender, and with Kitsunetsu's inherently indulgent nature—simply put, he had no morals—neither of them saw any issue with being of the same gender.
It was poor Zhen Yuanzi, who had always lived a life detached from worldly affairs. This pure-hearted Taoist was completely stunned. His worldview had been refreshed; he had opened the door to a new world. "So... being of the same gender doesn't matter?" Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself in a daze.
"I said, Zhen Yuanzi, my friend! Is that expression of yours indicating that you care about this?" Kitsunetsu's expression returned to its usual carefree demeanor as he lazily remarked. As long as he wasn't facing Ye Chuanze, he exuded an overwhelming confidence and presence.
"Stubborn! Rigid! Unyielding!" Kitsunetsu criticized sternly. "While it is true that the union of yin and yang is a principle of heaven and earth, if both parties cherish each other and feel affection, what does it matter if they are both men? Lifelong friends who treat each other sincerely, reveling in swordplay and laughter—why must one be constrained by worldly principles? Clinging to outdated norms only harms oneself and others; why bother!"
Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback by his words, left speechless for a long time. After a while, he clasped his hands and said, "I have been foolish! I apologize to you, my friend, and wish you and Mr. Ye a swift union and a harmonious life together."
"..." Ye Chuanze was completely stunned. Zhen Yuanzi, you opened the door to a new world, but suddenly turning into a matchmaker—what is going on? This forced pairing has no future!
"In the future, when you two celebrate your wedding, I will definitely come to toast you," Zhen Yuanzi added, delivering another blow to Ye Chuanze's heart.
"I say..." Ye Chuanze opened his mouth, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Kitsunetsu.
"Thank you for your kind words. On the day of our great joy, we will certainly not forget to invite you for a drink," Kitsunetsu replied with a smile.
"I mean, can you both not disregard the thoughts of the other party involved? This is ridiculous!" Ye Chuanze finally found himself caught in the crossfire tonight.
Meanwhile, at the banquet, others were witnessing the commotion between Ye Chuanze and Kitsunetsu. Although their voices weren't loud, everyone present was skilled in magic and could easily hear even whispers from across the room. Thus, the conversation among Ye Chuanze, Kitsunetsu, and Zhen Yuanzi had been overheard by all attendees, including those who were innocently caught in the crossfire.
Without discussing how others felt about such shocking remarks or their amusement at Kitsunetsu's sudden proposal to Ye Chuanze, it was enough to say that the Three Pure Ones felt quite complex after hearing this exchange!
Initially shocked by Kitsunetsu's proposal to Ye Chuanze, they were filled with fear. Their first thought was whether their junior brother would survive to see another day. They silently lit a candle for Ye Chuanze in their hearts. Soon after, their gossiping nature emerged as they began speculating various scenarios.
They wondered when their junior brother had gotten involved with Kitsunetsu and how he had secretly communicated with him behind their master’s back. They also pondered how their junior brother might meet his end—how tragic it would be!
As for when the Three Pure Ones realized the situation between Ye Chuanze and Hongjun—come on now! They weren't blind or foolish. The obvious flirtation between Ye Chuanze and Hongjun was something they couldn't possibly miss; if they didn't know about it, they might as well give up being Sages. However, since the parties involved remained silent about it, they were content to pretend ignorance.
Later on, when Ye Chuanze found himself caught in this mess due to their innocent involvement, the Three Pure Ones felt an intense resentment brewing within them! They were furious! Their animosity stemmed from years of disputes over who was the true descendant of Pangu versus the Twelve Ancestor Witches—a conflict that had persisted for thousands of years. It was clear how much they cared about lineage. Now that Ye Chuanze was so blatantly slapping them in the face with this situation, it was only natural for them to feel angered—even among fellow disciples; they wouldn't let it slide easily.
Unfortunately, this is not just a simple matter of being fellow disciples; this could very well be the future existence they will have to call "Master's Wife." The Three Pure Ones can provoke Ye Chuanze, but they cannot provoke Hongjun, who stands behind him! This resentment can only be harbored in their hearts; at least they cannot act on their thoughts and give Ye Chuanze a good beating to let him know who the true Pangu is.
However, it doesn't matter. They may not be able to provoke Ye Chuanze, but just based on Kitsunetsu's earlier words, it is enough for Ye Chuanze to have a drink. Someone will take care of him for them. The Three Pure Ones believe that one should learn to be content in life; contentment is a blessing. So they are content and calm.
But when Zhen Yuanzi spoke, the Three Pure Ones' initial glee at Ye Chuanze's misfortune instantly turned into sympathy. They could easily imagine that by tomorrow, with the usual behavior of the Primordial powers, the entire Primordial realm would be buzzing with news about the Nine-Tailed Fox King from Azure Hill set to marry the Real Person Ye Chuanze from Buzhou Mountain Cloud Marsh Cave.
At that time, Master’s expression... The Three Pure Ones shivered in unison. Safe travels, little junior brother.
Another one with complicated feelings was Demon Emperor Di Jun. Originally, Di Jun had a well-laid plan. Taking advantage of this banquet, he aimed to win over the Primordial powers and gain their support. If he were lucky enough to invite a few powerful beings to fight for the demon race, that would be even better. He came to the banquet with such beautiful hopes and enthusiasm.
During the banquet, he actively engaged in conversation with the Primordial powers and received friendly responses in return. Everything was developing positively and according to his wishes. However!! When Ye Chuanze and Kitsunetsu appeared, everything changed; all eyes and attention turned to them. Di Jun made efforts to redirect everyone's focus away from Ye Chuanze and Kitsunetsu, but he failed.
Time after time, he fought and failed; ultimately, Di Jun fell into despair and gave up. He joined the crowd of onlookers listening from the corner, and unsurprisingly, like others among the powerful beings present, he was stunned by the astonishing discussions of Ye Chuanze, Kitsunetsu, and Zhen Yuanzi.
Di Jun, filled with resentment and disappointment due to his shattered political ambitions yet stirred by gossip from eavesdropping, felt extremely conflicted at this moment. He did not know how to face this person who had ruined his political goals while simultaneously satisfying his hidden desire for gossip. Was it hate or love? He could not tell.
He was not alone in this sentiment; most of the Primordial powers present were similarly entangled in their feelings. Regarding Ye Chuanze, they felt both love and hate. They loved the gossip he provided but hated that he would surely retaliate in the future. Those who enjoyed watching him today would not escape unscathed later.
Ah! A contradictory mood for a contradictory person.
