“Donghuang… our Luo family will do everything in our means to repay you for all that you have given us.”

 Luo Wuchen was extremely apologetic towards Zhou Donghuang. He had really hoped that his daughter would get married to the young man in front of him, not just because his daughter had lost her virginity to him, but because it was clear that Zhou Donghuang was a responsible man. Just look at how the man had asked so sincerely for her hand in marriage.

 Someone like that was surely worth his daughter spending the rest of her life together with.

 Furthermore, besides being such a responsible person, the young man was very outstanding. In the Luohe galaxy where the Luo family was, or even in the Hengliu galaxy which was superior to the Luohe galaxy, Zhou Donghuang was definitely a supreme presence.

 If he missed out on such a son-in-law, where else would he find someone else like that?

 “No need.”

 Zhou Donghuang shook his head and said, “I asked Chief Luo to stay behind not to get anything back from you… I just want to hand this elixir to you.”

 With that, Zhou Donghuang handed the elixir bottle that he had taken out previously to Luo Wuchen and continued, “I made this elixir specifically for her. No matter what happens between the two of us in the future, please accept this elixir… as for how to ensure that the elixir is taken by her, please do whatever you have to.”

 “Donghuang.”

 Luo Wuchen was even more sorry now. “There is no need for this… you have given us more than enough. You gave us the Deity-level technique and the elixirs to help Dharma adepts, we cannot accept anything else from you.”

 “Chief Luo, although there is only one pill in here, this pill alone will allow her to reach the Dharma stage within half a year.”

 Zhou Donghuang’s words made Luo Wuchen’s eyes widen in shock, his face filled with an expression of utter disbelief.

 One elixir that would allow his daughter to reach the Dharma stage within just half a year?

 “Keep it.”

 Zhou Donghuang smiled faintly and said, “Between us, what has happened may not end up as nothing… this elixir will help her greatly, but without it, she will need to waste another few years just to reach the Dharma stage.”

 Luo Wuchen had originally wanted to reject it again, but upon hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words, he hesitated once again.

 After all, if what Zhou Donghuang said was true, this elixir would be able to greatly influence his daughter’s future, speeding up her progress… as a parent, who would not wish to see their children achieve great things?

 Finally, Luo Wuchen accepted the elixir from Zhou Donghuang.

 The reason why both Zhou Donghuang and Da Zhuang had been able to reach the Dharma stage from the ultimate Primal Core stage so quickly was because they had used the same elixir.

 “Mm, after swallowing this elixir, you must use the Qi-Gathering formation that I taught you earlier, using at least ten thousand mid-level spirit stones to aid her training,” continued Zhou Donghuang.

 Although Luo Wuchen had known how to set up Qi-Gathering formations, the ones that he produced were considered inferior formations that could only use a thousand mid-level spirit stones or ten thousand inferior spirit stones, which limited its effectiveness.

 Later, Zhou Donghuang had taught him a different technique that allowed him to set up Qi-Gathering formations using more spirit stones, allowing him to produce Qi-Gathering formations using ten thousand mid-level spirit stones.

 “Donghuang.”

 Luo Wuchen looked extremely seriously at Zhou Donghuang and said, “No matter what that Qinghan thinks or does, I, Luo Wuchen, have already accepted you as my son-in-law… in the future, whenever you need anything from me, or even the Luo family, with just one word from you, the Luo family and I will do anything we can to help you as much as we can!”

 Now that he had accepted even more benefits from Zhou Donghuang, Luo Wuchen felt even more sorry.

 “In the future, you are welcome to join us at the Luo family household anytime if you wish to come… you can even stay with us for a long time if you want to,” added Luo Wuchen.

 “Thank you, Chief Luo.”

 Zhou Donghuang smiled slightly and said, “Now, if there’s nothing else… Chief Luo, why don’t you bring your daughter back home.”

 “Alright.”

 Luo Wuchen nodded. Before he left, he revealed, “Donghuang, Qinghan has now entered the premier sect in The Ziji planet in the Hengliu galaxy, Jihan Sect.

 “Didn’t that girl say that she has no feelings for you now?”

 “In the future, if you can continue spending more time with each other, she will naturally realize how good you are… if the two of you really get together, I will surely plan a glamorous wedding for you!” declared Luo Wuchen seriously.

 After Luo Wuchen left, Zhou Donghuang shook his head as his lips curled into a bright smile. “What a determined girl she is… but after this, it is not hard to tell that she is not the kind of girl who does anything for fame and money and clamors after power.”

 Although Luo Qinghan had rejected his marriage request now, he was not angry at all.

 Not only was he not angry, he was even a little happy, because he could now understand Luo Qinghan’s character better from what she had said.

 Based on all that he had done for Luo Qinghan up till now, if it were any of the two supreme powers of the Hengliu galaxy, those two powers would surely be so won over that they would send all their top ladies to him to please him or gain his favor.

 However, all of his actions had been rejected by Luo Qinghan.

 “The Jihan Sect of the Ziji planet?”

 Zhou Donghuang’s eyes glinted. “We… will meet again.”

 In his past life, Zhou Donghuang had had no idea about women. His only impression of them was from the ladies whom the star clans and supreme sects had sent to him to bring him closer to them, to make him an elder or distinguished member of their sect.

 To him, these ladies had all been sent with ulterior motives in exchange for his support or favor.

 This time, if Luo Qinghan had simply accepted his marriage request at the Luo family and tried to get closer to him because of his status and power, he would have looked down on her to some degree, thinking that Luo Qinghan had simply just been eyeing the benefits that he could offer her and the Luo family.

 Now, it was clear that Luo Qinghan was not somebody who would betray herself for any benefits.

 Meanwhile…

 Luo Wuchen left Zhou Donghuang’s house to meet Luo Qinghan. They then left the Lightning Sword Sect together and headed to the nearby galaxy teleporter to send them back to the Tianxuan planet of the Luohe galaxy.

 On the way back to the Luo household, Luo Qinghan finally could not help herself from asking, “Father, what did he tell you just now after I left?”

 “Nothing much.”

 Luo Wuchen sighed deeply and said, “He told me not to feel apologetic for the dowry that I accepted… he is such a good man, even though you rejected him, he even wondered if I would feel sorry about what you did to him.

 “Tell me… such a good son-in-law, once we miss this chance, how can you find someone else like him?”

 As he spoke, Luo Wuchen’s face was filled with disappointment.

 Of course, he could not say the truth about what Zhou Donghuang had said to him or tell Luo Qinghan about the elixir.

 If he did so, based on his daughter’s personality, she would definitely not accept Zhou Donghuang’s goodwill.

 Luo Qinghan was silent for a moment, then said, “Father, I know that you are feeling disappointed… once we get home, Granny will also be very disappointed when she finds out about this.

 “But I have no other choice.”

 “I know that he is very outstanding, and if I get closer to him, that will surely be good for my future… but, for me to get together with someone just because of that, I simply cannot do that.”

 COMMENT

“I, Luo Qinghan, have my principles.

 “Not just me, let’s just say Mother… I heard from Granny that among the many young men who chased Mother last time, there were a few who had backgrounds and talents that far surpassed yours. But Mother did not marry the most talented or richest man and chose you in the end because she genuinely loved you.

 “Of course, I don’t have such good fortune like Mother… because, I will remember that even if I have no fate to be with Zhou Donghuang at the end of the day, because of the Deity-level technique that he gave to you and Granny, I will not do anything that makes him unhappy.”

 Luo Qinghan had already decided not to get together with another man in this life.

 As for Zhou Donghuang, she may not have anything to do with him at all in the future.

 Actually, Luo Qinghan was certain that she had some feelings for Zhou Donghuang. After all, he was the first man that she had gotten linked with and was the only man so far who had treated her well… if Zhou Donghuang was just an ordinary man with no talent, if they had the fate to meet again, she would be willing to give him a chance to see if they were suited for each other.

However, Zhou Donghuang was not an ordinary man with no talent, but someone who appeared to have an alarming background.

 He could easily produce a Deity-level technique as a dowry to give to her father.

 He was just twenty-four years old, and already a mid Dharma adept whose ability was stronger than her father, Luo Wuchen, a late Dharma stage.

 Her father had already converted to the Deity-level technique, so even though he had just reached the late Dharma stage, in the Tianxuan planet, or even the whole Luo He galaxy, there were few late Dharma adepts who were his match… but, he had been defeated by a mid Dharma adept, Zhou Donghuang.

 What did this mean?

 This meant that although Zhou Donghuang was just a mid Dharma adept, his ability was stronger than most other late Dharma adepts!

 Such a presence was rare in not just the Luohe galaxy, but even in the Hengliu galaxy, or even in other broader galaxies.

 Although she did not wish to admit it, she knew that she was inferior to him.

 The more outstanding Zhou Donghuang was, the more distant he seemed from her, and in this situation, she became even more sensitive.

 She had already decided to avoid Zhou Donghuang at all costs in the future, to let time fade all feelings. “Based on his talent and background… he will definitely meet a better girl in the future, and by then, he will no longer think anything of me.

 “Perhaps, I will just become a stray memory that appears in his mind once in a while when he is daydreaming.”

 “This time, I will spend some time with Father and Granny, then return to the Jihan sect to train hard… I owe him too much, and all I can repay him with is my loyalty.”

 …

 Before Luo Qinghan returned to the Jihan sect, Luo Wuchen had not been able to think of any good ideas to trick her into taking the elixir that Zhou Donghuang had given her.

 Finally, he ran out of ideas and mixed it within Luo Qinghan’s food.

 He had spent a lot of effort to mask the taste of the elixir so that Luo Qinghan would not notice it.

 Just like that, Luo Qinghan left the Luo family, left the Tianxuan planet, left the Luohe galaxy, and returned to the Ziji Sect of the Ziji planet in the Hengliu galaxy, her body filled with the medicinal effect of the elixir from Zhou Donghuang.
