Chapter 1206 - 102: Bridal Chamber (Grand Finale Part 4)

Wang Shouzhe was still muttering, calculating in his heart how to deal with Lici’s maid when she returns.

On the other side, Wang Liyao hurriedly jumped in to smooth things over, diverting everyone’s attention away.

She presented a wedding gift on behalf of the Longzuo Purple Mansion Academy—a medium-sized upper-grade spiritual vein stored in a spirit pearl.

Actually, typically, academy matters have nothing to do with noble family marriages, and there’s no need to send gifts. However, over the years, Longzuo Academy has closely collaborated with the Wang Family, creating a harmonious relationship and making considerable profit. Furthermore, since the marriage involves two Little Princesses, given Lingyun Sacred Land and the Daqian Imperial Family’s connections, it’s normal for the academy to make a gesture.

As for Wang Liyao, after advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm over ten years ago, she was sent to the Outer Domain Battlefield for training.

After gaining some merits, she was officially titled "Master Xuan Yao" by the imperial court, subsequently taking over the management of the Longzuo Academy, exuding the dignity of the academy head.

Taking this opportunity, Luqiu and Luojing also presented their gifts as elders. Though not as eye-catching as Wang Lici’s dragon leg and dragon whip, they were thoughtfully selected and quite valuable.

The relatives present watched with great emotion and shared pride.

Years ago, they watched these children grow from infants babbling their first words to formidable individuals now commanding their presence.

There’s nothing more to say about Liyao holding the position akin to a governor as the Acting Dean of Longzuo Academy, and while Luojing and Luqiu were slightly less, they still garnered widespread renown across Longzuo County and even throughout Daqian, attaining significant positions within Longzuo Academy, only second to the Purple Mansion Realm main vein Ascendants.

Once they successfully advance to the Purple Mansion Realm, they’d qualify to establish their own branch. Whether they leave Longzuo Academy to establish a branch in another academy, wait to inherit the main vein head position at Longzuo Academy, or go to Lingyun Sacred Land for further education, the future holds great promise.

Watching these children grow into promising individuals—how can one not share in the pride?

The ancestors of the Southern Desert Wang Family were the proudest among the crowd. Liyao’s strength indeed owes in part to their contribution from the Southern Desert Wang Family, enabling the Southern Desert Wang Family to gain so much recognition that they have numerous collaborations with the Changning Wang Family, amassing a lot of wealth.

However, the relatives of the Chen Family and Gongye Family felt the weighty pressure.

Having developed for thousands of years as noble families, they originally had a solid foundation and aimed to take the lead during this occasion, aiming to present their kids well.

Yet, first came the Qiaan Family with a twenty million contribution... which was tolerable since it involved mere money. After all, there are plenty of valuable items money can’t buy. But next, the Daqian Wang Family presented the [Divine Power Profound Yuan Shield Talisman].

Even for a Third-Grade Noble Family, this level of treasure is something so precious they’d keep it in their collection.

The Daqian Wang Family really spent generously!

You belong to the main vein, yet it’s not even your children’s marriage—why are you meddling?

The relatives of the Chen Family and Gongye Family were full of resentment, but fortunately they prepared good things themselves, managing to remain composed.

But who would’ve expected that before they could present their gifts, there came the Water-Repelling Pearl, dragon leg, dragon whip, and upper-grade spirit vein gifts.

Even Wang Liyao aside—they at least had an idea of her strength—but as for an aunt who had been traveling, she surprisingly gifted a Tier Eight Green Dragon’s dragon leg and dragon whip, flaunting richness comparable to the direct lineage Great Celestial Pride of a Third-Grade Noble Family.

Is this reasonable?

Is this Changning Wang Family genuinely a noble family developed over just 200 years? Aren’t members of this family just a bit too abnormal?

Members of Gongye Family and Chen Family felt somewhat chaotic.

After the chaos, a strong sense of crisis emerged. In such circumstances, if they didn’t come up with something truly valuable, wouldn’t they be looked down upon?

The members of the Chen Family glanced at each other, and with that, Chen Jinglong, the Great Celestial Pride of the Chen Family, stepped forward on their behalf.

He extracted a delicate orange-yellow bell, solemnly handing it to Wang Anye: "This is a secret treasure unearthed from a Divine Martial Dynasty relic, named ’Soul-Protecting Bell’, able to protect the divine soul, keeping the owner from being confused by illusion realms or demonic cultivation techniques, ensuring a clear mind. Even with its presence, it’s challenging for a Divine Power Realm expert’s great divine technique to bewilder you."

"Moreover, should one’s cultivation reach the Divine Power Realm—even if your physical body perishes—with this, the divine soul won’t immediately disperse. Although it can’t save life, it’s still far better than the soul being obliterated. Should fortune favor you, perhaps a glimmer of hope might remain."

Good stuff!

Wang Shouzhe’s eyes brightened.

A Divine Power Realm’s divine soul is strong, but not every such expert’s divine soul can survive post-perishing. Otherwise, over the eons, wouldn’t the world be filled with residual souls?

Those preserving divine souls usually depend on secret treasures or techniques. Classics depict that such secret treasures were extremely rare even during the Divine Martial Dynasty, and more so now.

The Chen Family actually chose to present such a secret treasure as a wedding gift, it seems they’ve spent hugely~

Wang Anye hadn’t anticipated the Chen Family would present such a treasure and promptly took it respectfully: "Thank you, Uncle."
