CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 408: ZI DAO: GOOD SON-IN-LAW, XIAO ZI IS FORTUNATE TO MARRY YOU! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

*Did the sun just rise in the west?*

Just a minute ago, he still looked reluctant and said he didn’t approve of their marriage, and now he called Xiao Ye his good son-in-law.

Zi Dao kept chattering away, "Xiaozi, you really have an eye for people. To find someone so incredibly talented, so outstanding—there’s no one else like him in the world."

A Beastmaster with Mythical-Level talent, and it’s more than three thousand times greater than SSS-level.

Just like with SSS and SS-levels, your average SSS-level talent was only about a hundred times better than SS-level, and it’s rare for it to even go beyond a thousand times.

But Xiao Ye’s talent, even among the Mythical-Level, was still extraordinary.

Not to mention, Mythical-Level talent had never shown up, whether in the Mortal Realm or in the Rule Domain. Up to now, there was neither a template nor a Beastmaster for Mythical-Level talent in the Rule Domain.

Finding a Mythical-Level in the Mortal Realm, and he was his own son-in-law? Of course he wanted to pull him in.

A legendary Child of Destiny like that? *Zi Dao wasn’t an idiot, why would he push someone like that away?*

"Good son-in-law, got any booze? Bring it out! I’m happy today; the two of us should have a drink—no going home till we’re drunk!" Zi Dao laughed loudly.

The middle-aged beautiful woman gave him a weird look and messaged him, "What’s up with you? Weren’t you saying you wanted to break their contract?"

Zi Dao immediately said out loud, "Break what contract? Being able to find an outstanding genius like Xiao Ye is Xiaozi’s luck. The young couple is doing just fine—you wanna be the bad guy and split them up?"

Having her secret words exposed out loud, the middle-aged beauty looked awkward. Her eyes went wide. "Hmph, who said anything about splitting them up? That wasn’t me, okay!"

Ziran was overjoyed when she heard that, her tone even more affectionate as she said, "Dad, Mom, do you guys really approve of Xiao Ye?"

Xiao Ye was still a bit confused, listening in with his ears perked.

Zi Dao beamed, seeming very easygoing, "Of course. I, Zi Dao, always keep my word."

"Xiao Ye, your talent—it’s Mythical-Level, right?"

"Even with several Beast Girls contracted, the talent split up, it’s still Mythical-Level, so I don’t have any concerns now. I support you and Xiaozi being together."

"Ohhh~" Ziran, Xiao Ye, and all the other Beast Girls in attendance suddenly understood.

So Zi Dao’s quick attitude change was because of this!

"My... Mythical-Level?" The middle-aged woman was shocked, studying Xiao Ye carefully. The more she looked, the more she liked him, and she couldn’t help grinning,

"Hahaha, impressive! Xiaozi, you made the right choice."

At the same time, the weight was lifted from her heart.

If Xiao Ye’s talent didn’t measure up, she couldn’t keep them together, since it would limit Ziran’s future Realm; but splitting them up also wasn’t an option, since it would hurt Ziran’s body and limit her Realm as well. *She’d been in a real bind.*

But now, everything was resolved.

She smiled and said, "Xiaozi, Xiao Ye, you guys go live your life. No one will interfere with you or break you apart."

"The Hidden Imperial Race, the Shangguan Family, had a fit a while back and unilaterally broke off the engagement with Xiaozi. We were pissed at the time, but looking back, it’s actually a blessing in disguise."

Zi Dao snorted, "Imperial Race? Sure, back in the Ancient Era, they were an Imperial Race, but nowadays, their strength is about even with our Zi Family. It’s a fifty-fifty split."

"They really got some nerve, breaking off the marriage on their own. Do they think they still have a half-step Great Emperor?"

"The minute they broke it off, the Zi Family was done with the Shangguan Family. There won’t be any more marriages between us."

Ziran’s beautiful eyes shone even brighter, so radiant and sunny—you could tell just how good she was feeling.

*Getting recognized, being accepted—Xiao Ye felt so at ease inside.*

Now that all the barriers were gone, he wasn’t the petty type, or one to hold grudges. Facing his father-in-law, he naturally treated him with sincerity.

"Father-in-law, here’s something I picked up at the Maid Tavern—it’s the treasure of the house. It’s smooth going down, but it really packs a punch."

He grabbed two wine cups and sat down with Zi Dao on the sofa, pouring them both a drink.

"Haha—cheers!" Zi Dao put his arm around Xiao Ye’s shoulders, picked up the glass, and downed it in one gulp.

"Mm, good wine. The brewing materials are a bit low-grade, but the technique is really something. If the materials were a bit better, you’d have a world-class wine!"

His eyes lit up as he praised it with genuine admiration.

"You should come to the Zi Family sometime. I’ll bust out my prized Ginseng King Wine—you’ll definitely love it."

Xiao Ye replied, "I’ll come if I get the chance."

The middle-aged woman called over Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyao, and the other girls, reminding Ziran, "Xiaozi, you should hang out with your sisters more often and strengthen your bond. Now that you’re married to Xiao Ye, you’re all family."

"Don’t go thinking just because your Realm is higher that you can have Xiao Ye all to yourself. He’s not just yours, he’s everyone’s."

Ziran looked embarrassed. "Mom, what are you talking about? When have I ever hogged Xiao Ye all for myself?"

Qin Xi’Er giggled, "Auntie, Sister Ziran’s super generous. Last night, she let me have Xiao Ye—she spent the whole night on the sofa. Tonight is her turn!"

"Oh?" The middle-aged woman was pretty surprised, glancing at Ziran.

With all her experience, one look and she could tell: Ziran wasn’t a virgin anymore.

*Must’ve sneaked a bite.*

"Xiaozi, try to hold yourself back and don’t go overboard." She thought about it and decided she’d look for some kidney-nourishing Supreme Treasures later and pass them on to Xiao Ye.

The main thing was, Xiao Ye had too many Beast Girls. If he indulged too much, it would seriously mess with his training and combat abilities.

The Beast Girls would be fine—the one who’d have trouble was Xiao Ye. After all, he was the only guy; no one else could help with that stuff.

Suddenly, bzzzzz!

Zi Dao’s ancient Token started vibrating. He took it out and used his divine sense to read the message.

After he checked it, his face changed dramatically, and he shot to his feet!

The middle-aged woman asked, "What happened?"

Zi Dao’s expression darkened, anger in his voice, "The Shangguan Family—those bastards! They’re making a move on the Zi Family’s territory, scheming in the dark to steal our family’s foundation—the Rule Origin!"

"Are they trying to start a Holy Race war?!"

The middle-aged woman’s face changed too. Rule Origin, for a Hidden Holy Race, was the absolute core and the base of their clan—no one could be allowed to covet it.

"Xiaozi, Xiao Ye, and all the Beast Girls, we have to go. We’ll visit you guys another time." Zi Dao’s face apologetic as he spoke.

The middle-aged woman stood as well, saying, "Xiaozi, Xiao Ye, all of you are welcome to visit the Zi Family Rule Domain anytime—you’re always welcome!"

Ziran realized how serious things were and said, "Then you’d better hurry back. Come visit us again later—it’ll be fine."

Xiao Ye nodded, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, take care on your way."

The couple in the ancient robes blinked out and left.

"Almost forgot the welcome gifts." Zi Dao reappeared awkwardly, putting two storage rings on the table, and said,

"Xiaozi, Xiao Ye, here are some cultivation resources and a few Protective Treasures."

Thinking for a second, he took out another storage ring and set it on the table as well. "There are five Saint Realm Supreme Treasures in here for all you Beast Girls."

With that, he disappeared again—this time for real.

Nangong Siyao put her hands on her hips and laughed, "See, I told you! Xiao Ye’s an amazing guy, and it’s Sister Ziran’s honor to have married him!"

Liu Ya rolled her eyes.

Elsewhere, in Villa No. 1, Huangfu Xiangling and Yunxi were drinking in silence. The two of them, totally drunk, spilled all the thoughts and secrets they’d been hiding inside.
