Chapter 736 Su Xuan's News - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain
After the storm, calm prevailed. "Just a few days ago, I met a fortune teller who was also a cultivator. He read my fortune and said that the moment you make a name for yourself worldwide would be when you come to marry me," Fang You Ruo said gently, resting her side against Wang Hao Ran's chest. "A fortune teller?" Wang Hao Ran expressed surprise, "Tell me more about it." Fang You Ruo recounted the details of her encounter with the old man from a few days prior, narrating every conversation verbatim to Wang Hao Ran. After listening, Wang Hao Ran deduced that the old man was most likely Ye Fan in disguise. Fang You Ruo described how the old man transformed into a stream of light before flying away. Such a means indicated cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage. In the mortal world, there were few cultivators of this level. Ye Fan was currently at this stage of cultivation. Before departing, the elder had stated, "The day he becomes famous worldwide is the day he will come to marry you." This tone was identical to what Ye Fan had said when he previously visited Qiongzhou and, from a distance, secretly watched Fang You Ruo from the school gate. However, Ye Fan indeed seemed a bit careless, as he had not noticed anything unusual about Fang You Ruo. With Ye Fan's sensory abilities, if he had investigated Fang You Ruo, he certainly would have discovered that she was no longer a maiden and was already carrying a small life within her. In actuality, Ye Fan wasn't careless; he was probably just so overwhelmed when seeing Fang You Ruo that he lost his typical judgment and sensory acuity. Wang Hao Ran believed this because he experienced the same himself. Fang You Ruo, possessing an unparalleled beauty, had a lethal charm for men. When with her, one would be so captivated by her looks and figure that nothing else would grab their attention. If Fang You Ruo hadn't voluntarily mentioned it, Wang Hao Ran wouldn't have noticed her condition earlier. "This fortune teller was surprisingly accurate," Wang Hao Ran suddenly chuckled oddly. He understood clearly that Ye Fan hadn't actually divined Fang You Ruo's future marriage. It wasn't that Ye Fan didn't want to; he simply couldn't. People's destinies vary; some have straightforward paths easily foretold. But Fang You Ruo had grand fortune, implying limitless possibilities in her future; her destiny had too many branches and was extremely complex. Even methods used by mortal fortune tellers like Tian Ji Zi couldn't predict such fate. Even cultivators skilled in great prophecy wouldn't be able to specifically determine Fang You Ruo's true path. Nonetheless, Ye Fan, who didn't practice great prophecy, was further from unraveling Fang You Ruo's future marriage. What Ye Fan told Fang You Ruo was a prediction about himself. But in some sense, Ye Fan was "correct." Wang Ji Tian had gained nationwide fame after slaying six saints in the imperial capital. Now with Fang You Ruo pregnant, Wang Hao Ran decided to marry her. Wasn't this fulfilling Ye Fan's prediction? The only difference was that the man marrying Fang You Ruo wasn't Ye Fan. The next day. Fang You Ruo introduced Wang Hao Ran to her parents formally. Upon learning about Fang You Ruo's condition, her parents, from their worldly perspective, found it hard to accept at first. Fang You Ruo had no choice but to prove that she wasn't ordinary. This revelation reshaped her parents' worldview, allowing them to come to terms with the situation. After spending several days at the Fang household, Wang Hao Ran took Fang You Ruo and her parents to Qingling to meet with Wang Xiang and Zhen Li. Upon hearing of Fang You Ruo's joyful news, Wang Xiang and Zhen Li were ecstatic. Wang Hao Ran then mentioned plans to take Fang You Ruo to the Wang family in the Holy Domain for their wedding. Neither Wang Xiang, Zhen Li, nor Fang You Ruo's parents opposed this. After agreeing on the arrangements, Wang Hao Ran set a departure date, though he began to feel the weight of the upcoming challenges. But difficult or not, he had to face what lay ahead. Wang Hao Ran introduced Fang You Ruo to the ladies in Qingling. Tan Tai Yao Yue, Feng Xuan Su, and others warmly welcomed Fang You Ruo. When Wang Hao Ran shared their plans for the near future, many were envious and upset. Nevertheless, they understood Fang You Ruo's unique situation, accepting Wang Hao Ran's decision to prioritize marrying her first. However, now that Fang You Ruo had set the precedent, others began having similar thoughts. Wang Hao Ran could sense something from Tan Tai Yao Yue and Feng Xuan Su's glances. The stockpile of items meant for safety in the room would no longer remain unused. After a few days in Qingling, Wang Hao Ran and Fang You Ruo embarked on their journey to the Holy Domain to make necessary arrangements. They planned to fetch Wang Xiang, Zhen Li, and Fang You Ruo's parents once everything was set. For such a significant event, both sets of parents had to be present. Moreover, not just the families, but Tan Tai Yao Yue, Feng Xuan Su, and others expressed their intention to join the festivities. Accompanied by her maid Shinichi Chizuru and Yun Chu Ran, Wang Hao Ran and Fang You Ruo arrived smoothly at the Wang family estate. Wang Hao Ran informed Wang Wan Li about their intent to marry Fang You Ruo. Eager to see the family line continue, Wang Wan Li wholeheartedly supported the union. Wang Wan Li quickly sought an auspicious date for the marriage within the month. However, there were no particularly good dates immediately forthcoming. The nearest auspicious date for marriage was a month away. A month might be slightly delayed. Given the timeline, within a month, Fang You Ruo might start showing physical changes. But there was no alternative, so they would have to adjust the wedding attire to be more accommodating. With the date set, Wang Wan Li eagerly announced the news to various powers within the Holy Domain. He publicly declared that the Wang family's young master would wed in a month, inviting major powers to attend the ceremony. Wang Hao Ran had no interest in managing the wedding preparations, leaving all tasks to Wang Wan Li. With Yun Chu Ran and Shinichi Chizuru assisting and accompanying Fang You Ruo, Wang Hao Ran had no cause for concern. He then instructed Wang Tong to track Su Xuan's movements. Within a day, Wang Tong relayed news. Su Xuan had surfaced in a central region called Lingzhou Province. Known for its ancient Ling Tower, Lingzhou Province was noteworthy. The tower's environment held exceptional properties for body refinement, opening once a year to allow three individuals in for body tempering. The tower had three levels, each offering varying degrees of refinement, categorized into different grades. The topmost level undoubtedly provided the best results. The Ling Tower was independent of the four major powers, as none could monopolize it. The four powers had previously conflicted over it but gained nothing but losses. Ultimately, they agreed each year to hold a martial contest. Outstanding young talents from each major power would compete. The top three would gain entry to the Ling Tower for body refinement. Somehow, Su Xuan secured a spot from one power and emerged first in the contest. (End of the Chapter)
