Upon hearing this, Thunderstorm was momentarily taken aback, but then his expression brightened.
He looked at Wei Chen, squinting slightly, and smiled faintly. "Brother Wei Chen, what do you mean?"
"The best way for both sides to form an alliance is through marriage. If your daughter marries my brother, then when we leave, the relationship between the Peach Blossom Sect and the Fire Sect can continue to be maintained. That would be a win-win situation, wouldn't it?" Wei Chen said with a smile.
After listening to Wei Chen's words, Thunderstorm's expression became somewhat peculiar.
He tentatively asked, "Are you suggesting that the current Peach Blossom Sect Leader, Musa, marry my daughter?"
"Exactly. Our Peach Blossom Sect is willing to offer ten bottles of Dragon Blood as a betrothal gift. Just think about it—what was the final price of Dragon Blood at that auction? In terms of betrothal gifts in the Soul World, there’s no way anyone could offer more than what our Peach Blossom Sect is providing."
Thunderstorm nodded. "That is indeed quite generous. Since you proposed it, I have no reason to refuse. However, I wonder if Musa will agree."
"Don't worry. He hasn't married yet and doesn't even have a potential partner; he won't refuse."
"Alright then. After we defeat the Soul Palace Army, let Musa marry my daughter. But I must remind you that Musa may not necessarily agree."
Upon hearing Thunderstorm's words, Wei Chen sensed something unusual. Thunderstorm's repeated mention that Musa might not agree raised some questions. Could it be that Thunderstorm's daughter was unattractive?
Looking at Thunderstorm's own appearance and status, his wife or concubines would surely not be lacking in beauty. Therefore, his daughter shouldn't be lacking either.
Seemingly understanding Wei Chen's thoughts, Thunderstorm sighed helplessly. "My daughter may not be a beauty of extraordinary grace, but she is certainly not lacking either. It's just that her temper is a bit fiery; she needs a strong man who can handle her."
"What do you mean? Is she very powerful?" Wei Chen frowned.
"She is currently at the mid-level of the Human Soul Realm, which isn't particularly strong. However, she tends to resort to violence easily. In the Central Domain, there are not many Young Talents who can match her status and identity. But those individuals are all proud and arrogant; they wouldn't want to marry a hot-tempered wife. Now do you understand what I mean?" Thunderstorm said with some resignation. He had initially wanted to keep this hidden but thought it best to clarify things with Wei Chen to prevent any issues later on.
Thunderstorm had long been worried about his daughter's marriage prospects. This time, with Wei Chen taking the initiative, he felt happy deep down but was also filled with concern.
Looking at Musa's physique, could she really withstand being hit by her own daughter? That temper of hers was something even she feared.
Wei Chen, feeling speechless, said, "Thunder Sovereign, your daughter hitting people must have some reason behind it, right?"
"The reasons are easy to find. Just be prepared, especially make sure your brother is ready."
Wei Chen suddenly felt a pang of regret. Was it worth sacrificing his brother's happiness for the alliance between the Fire Sect and the Peach Blossom Sect?
"Thunder Sovereign, since that's the case, could you call her over? Let her meet Musa first and see how it goes. Matters between men and women can be quite complicated," Wei Chen suggested.
Thunderstorm thought about it and found it reasonable, so he agreed.
After leaving Thunderstorm's guest room, Wei Chen found Musa busy handling official matters.
"Wei Chen, don't tell me you're here to help? We've been swamped lately, while you seem to have nothing better to do," Musa complained as soon as she saw him.
"I'm ten times busier than you think; you just can't see it. I'm here for a significant matter in your life."
"Significant matter? Wei Chen, what are you up to now? I'm busy and don't have time for your games."
"Thunder Sovereign's daughter is coming to the Peach Blossom Sect soon. You'll be responsible for her reception; just get a feel for things. I believe that for the future of the Peach Blossom Sect, you should do everything in your power to win over Thunder Sovereign's daughter."
Musa was taken aback by Wei Chen's words. What on earth was going on?
"I've negotiated with Thunder Sovereign. Once we leave Soul World, the alliance between the Fire Sect and the Peach Blossom Sect will become extremely unstable. To ensure that the alliance continues, marrying Thunder Sovereign's daughter is your best option. I'm doing this for the development of the Peach Blossom Sect; otherwise, after we leave, if the Fire Sect stops supporting us, things will get tough for the Peach Blossom Sect."
Wei Chen patted Musa on the shoulder and added, "From then on, it's up to you. I've created this opportunity for you; make sure you seize it."
Without waiting for Musa, Wei Chen quickly turned around and disappeared from her sight.
A short while later, a red Warship arrived at the Peach Blossom Sect.
After all, being a woman, she preferred the color red, even in a Warship.
The only daughter of Thunder Sovereign, Lei Susu, entered Cang Mountain under the protection of her three older brothers.
Lei Susu appeared strikingly heroic, a stark contrast to her name. In terms of her personality, it was even more unrelated to the gentle connotation of her name. Calling her Lei Huohuo would be more fitting.
Within the Fire Sect, Lei Susu was a taboo figure; who dared to provoke her?
Her brothers were always indulgent towards her, having suffered greatly because of it. This time, under Thunderstorm's orders, they were bringing Lei Susu to Peach Blossom Sect for an arranged marriage. They were excited and eager for her to marry off quickly so she could leave and stop causing trouble in the Fire Sect.
Thunderstorm had many sons but only one daughter, which was why Lei Susu had been spoiled. This led to her current temper, which was astonishingly fierce.
Wei Chen personally went to welcome Lei Susu and her three brothers.
Those three brothers held significant positions within the Fire Sect. The eldest brother, Lei Yong, was the next sect leader. Second Brother Lei Gan and Brother Three Lei Xiang each governed different territories. Their strengths ranged from the Initial Stage to the Middle Stage of Soul Realm. Just looking at their Soul Power Realm, Lei Yong was stronger than Wei Chen. However, at over thirty years old, he was no longer considered among the Young Talents. By the time Wei Chen reached his thirties, his strength would be terrifyingly unmatched—far beyond what Lei Yong could compare to. Without a doubt, Wei Chen was the top talent in Soul World.
"Young Master Wei, Mister Mu, it's an honor to meet you," Lei Yong and his brothers greeted Wei Chen and Musa. Although they were core figures in the Fire Sect, Musa was already the sect leader, and Wei Chen had a brotherly relationship with their father Thunderstorm. In front of Wei Chen and Musa, the Lei Brothers unconsciously felt diminished.
Wei Chen and Musa returned the greeting, both sides appearing very polite.
At that moment, a mocking voice shattered the harmonious atmosphere.
"So you're Wei Chen? Hey, you're quite famous, but you don't look that impressive in terms of strength."
The poised Lei Susu slowly stepped down from the Warship. Upon seeing Wei Chen, she couldn't help but mock him.
Wei Chen smirked and said, "So you are Lei Susu? Tsk tsk, seeing you in person is indeed more impressive than hearing about you; your temper is quite boisterous."
"Young Master Wei, please bear with her a bit. Our sister has some issues with her head," Lei Yong whispered to Wei Chen, his expression somewhat awkward.
Wei Chen pointed at Musa and said, "This time’s main character is Musa, not me. Brothers, let me show you around. As for the matters below, let Musa and Lei Susu handle them themselves."
Hearing this, Lei Yong, Lei Gan, and Lei Xiang were somewhat astonished. They had assumed that the suitor would be Wei Chen. With his abilities and reputation, it shouldn't be too difficult to impress Lei Susu.
But now...
They looked at Musa, the frail-looking young man clad in a flamboyant red cloak; he seemed like someone who was asking for trouble.
"Young Master Wei, leaving Mister Mu alone with Susu might not be appropriate. My sister can be quite reckless..."
"It’s fine, let’s go," Wei Chen said as he led the Lei brothers away, leaving Lei Susu in a daze.
"Is it really you?" Lei Susu looked at Musa with a mocking expression.
Musa awkwardly smiled and replied, "Did you think it was Wei Chen? If you like him that much, I can call him back right now."
"No need for that. How could I possibly like a fickle and lecherous person like him? My father sent me here; I already have an idea of what he means. First of all, my man can only love me for a lifetime; I absolutely won’t allow any concubines or anything of the sort."
Lei Susu coldly stared at Musa and said lightly, "Do you understand what 'White Out' means?"
"Dammit, I'm not some kind of fool! There's no way I'm doing this," Musa thought, feeling an overwhelming urge to explode in anger at Lei Susu's first condition.
Lei Susu looked at Musa and continued, "My father has introduced me to several young masters from Major Forces. Let me tell you, I have no good feelings for people like you. You drink and chase women, committing all sorts of misdeeds without doing anything good. How could you possibly be worthy of me? My second requirement is that you must marry me. From this day forward, you will forever say goodbye to the world of pleasure. If I catch you in any wrongdoing, breaking your legs would be the least of your worries."
Musa opened his mouth but ultimately fell silent, saying nothing.
"I didn't want to come here, but my father has been worrying about my marriage. As a woman, I have to get married. So here I am. We can pretend to be married, but you absolutely cannot touch me. If you do, wherever you lay a hand on me, I will cut off that part to teach you a lesson."
With her three conditions laid out, Musa was left speechless.
Not far away, Wei Chen and the Lei Brothers listened in on the conversation with wry smiles.
"Young Master Wei, that's just how Susu is. What man could possibly handle her? My father has tried to set her up with several young talents, but after just a few words, those guys ran away scared. Honestly, my father has decided that whoever from Major Forces is willing to marry her won't have to pay a single penny in bride price and will receive countless gifts in return."
"Exactly! Susu is untouchable in Fire Sect. Bringing her to Peach Blossom Sect was supposed to relieve us; we thought you'd be the one to handle her. If you could manage her, we would all be free from worry. But looking at the situation now, it seems like Brother Mu has quite a bit of pressure."
The three brothers exchanged sympathetic glances as they quietly observed Musa.
Lei Susu looked down at Musa with an arrogant gaze.
"Think you can play games with me? Heh, I've scared off dozens of men with these three conditions. What if you're the Leader of Peach Blossom Sect? You’ll still have to leave obediently," Lei Susu thought smugly to herself.
