Chapter 156 Yang Ruolin
Yu Tianyun's mind raced. After a moment's thought, he decided it was necessary to decline three times. After all, he couldn't just foolishly agree in front of Bai Chenxiang.
He cleared his throat, forced a look of utter helplessness on his face, and slowly said, "Clan Chief Yang, could you perhaps change the terms? This is a condition that I find very difficult to agree to."
Yang Wudi's weathered face was now filled with determination as he responded loudly without hesitation: "No, unless you agree to this marriage, please leave. I absolutely will not take this Fragrant Silk Immortal Plant."
Yu Tianyun did not respond for the time being. His brows were furrowed and his expression became even more troubled, but his eyes subtly gestured in the direction of Bai Chenxiang and Bai He.
Yang Wudi had spent decades navigating the world of Soul Masters, immersed in alchemy and spear training, yet he was still adept at navigating social situations and instantly grasped Yu Tianyun's meaning. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "That cunning brat, he gets all the benefits, and I'm left to play the villain!"
Yu Tianyun's idea was actually very simple: as long as Yang Wudi could handle the grandfather and grandson, he would have nothing to worry about.
After all, he had already accepted the marriage proposal from the Min clan, so compared to the Po clan, which was of higher value and greater importance, he had even less reason to refuse.
As for Yang Wudi's granddaughter's appearance, he wasn't particularly worried.
Generally speaking, female Soul Masters are usually quite beautiful. Soul power is like the best beauty medicine and cosmetics, which can nourish their appearance.
In addition, the spouses of Soul Masters are often also Soul Masters, especially those from large families, and their children are usually quite good-looking.
Of course, unless they are people who are greatly influenced by their martial spirit, such as the Elephant Armor Sect, whose members, regardless of gender, have faces full of scars and strong bodies, making them intimidating.
However, the Yang family's weapon spirit is the Soul-Breaking Spear, so they certainly won't have such negative effects.
However, if Yang Wudi's granddaughter really surprises him, he can refuse, since he hasn't officially expressed his opinion yet.
Yu Tianyun has now settled down and accepted the numerous marriages without hesitation. In any case, he is capable enough to enjoy the blessing of having multiple wives, and besides, it is a win-win situation.
However, it's impossible to get him to agree willingly. If he's too eager, it will damage his image in front of the women. He has to create the impression that "this isn't my choice, they forced me to do it, and I had no other choice for the sake of my family."
Anyway, he can't play the role of the bad guy.
For example, when he married Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi was the villain; when he married Bai Chenxiang, Bai He was the villain.
Now, it's naturally Yang Wudi's turn to play the villain.
Yang Wudi ignored Bai He, thinking to himself, "If Bai He can do it, why can't I, Yang Wudi? Good brothers should share the good fortune, and my grandson-in-law should get half of it too!"
Looking at Bai Chenxiang's resentful, pitiful eyes and her delicate appearance, Yang Wudi couldn't help but feel a little guilty. An awkward expression crossed his face. He moved closer to her and, forcing a soft voice, said:
"Xiangxiang, Grandpa Yang knows that doing this is a bit unfair to you, but you have to understand, Yu Tianyun will definitely have many women around him. If you want to have a stable position by his side and not be bullied, don't you need a helper?"
"Xiangxiang, the women around Yu Tianyun must all be exceptionally talented geniuses, and their strength must be considerable. If they bully you, you probably won't be able to defeat them with your current strength. What should you do then?"
"And your sister Ruolin is a good fighter, and you're close to her. With her backing you up, wouldn't no one dare to bully you easily?"
……
Bai Chenxiang was initially quite dissatisfied upon hearing this, pouting and frowning. However, under Yang Wudi's patient persuasion, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be some truth to it.
She had long known that Yu Tianyun had many women. Given Yu Tianyun's extraordinary talent and exceptional abilities, the women around him were unlikely to be ordinary either. As a pure agility-type Soul Master, her combat strength was only slightly stronger than that of a support-type Soul Master, and she certainly couldn't compare to other battle Soul Masters.
Having another helper seems like a good idea. Considering Yang Ruolin's terrifying fighting prowess and her fiery, straightforward personality, and the fact that they grew up together and have a deep bond, perhaps marrying Yu Tianyun together would indeed be a good idea, and they could even share the burden…
Thinking of this, Bai Chenxiang's face flushed red, like a ripe apple. She secretly glanced at Yu Tianyun. Although she had experienced human relations for the first time last night, as a Soul Master, she was quite mature for her age. She knew that her small body couldn't withstand Yu Tianyun's torment, and Yang Ruolin could definitely help her share a lot of the pressure.
So, she lowered her head and said shyly, her voice barely audible, "Grandpa Yang, I don't mind being sisters with Sister Ruolin."
Yang Wudi was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking to himself: I've finally managed to win over this little girl.
Bai He, who was standing to the side, had long seen through Yang Wudi's deception of his granddaughter, but he didn't actually object. For the Bai family, the marriage alliance between the two families and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan would only benefit them, making them more valued, and besides, it was best not to let the good stuff go to outsiders.
He had been arguing and bickering with Yang Wudi before, but it was only to protect his granddaughter's feelings. Now that his granddaughter had agreed, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Yang Wudi laughed heartily, then looked at Yu Tianyun and announced loudly, "Xiangxiang has already agreed, so the marriage is settled!"
Yu Tianyun was secretly delighted, but he had to maintain his persona, so he said with a bitter face, "Clan Chief Yang, I haven't even met your granddaughter yet, and I don't know if she agrees. Isn't it a bit hasty to make such a decision?"
Yang Wudi looked at Yu Tianyun with disdain, cursing inwardly, "You little bastard, you get all the benefits while making me play the villain!"
So he snorted coldly, his tone no longer polite, and said with a hint of urgency:
"Young man, stop pretending. Xiangxiang has already agreed, so what's there to worry about? My granddaughter is growing up to be a beautiful young lady; I guarantee you'll be satisfied. I'll bring her over for you to see!"
A moment later, Yang Wudi led over a tall woman. This woman was at least 1.85 meters tall, dressed in a black, fitted outfit, her hair tied back in a high ponytail, giving her a clean, sharp, and spirited appearance. She had a classic oval face with smooth, beautiful lines, and a slightly pointed chin, adding to her charm. However, her delicate face was tense at this moment, her expression cold as frost, her eyes revealing a hint of resentment and stubbornness.
As soon as she entered, her sharp gaze stared straight at Yu Tianyun, as if trying to see through him. At the same time, her hands unconsciously clenched slightly, her knuckles turning white, and her body leaned forward slightly, looking eager to challenge Yu Tianyun at any moment.
Yu Tianyun felt a little awkward under her sudden gaze, thinking to himself, "This woman seems difficult to get along with! But even if she has a fiery temper, can she compare to a tyrannical mother dragon?"
Seeing this, Yang Wudi quickly coughed lightly and said, "Ruolin, don't be rude!"
Yang Ruolin snorted coldly, turned to look at Yang Wudi, and said with a hint of anger, "Grandpa, if you want me to marry him, he'll have to defeat me!"
As she spoke, her gaze fell upon Yu Tianyun again, and she said loudly and provocatively, "Pretty boy, do you dare to have a match with me?"
Yu Tianyun raised an eyebrow. This was the first time someone had called him a "pretty boy." Yu Tianyun felt somewhat offended. He was far more capable than a pretty boy; a pretty boy was a kept man, while he was a man of substance. A surge of competitive spirit welled up within him. He stepped forward, head held high, and declared loudly:
"Yu Tianyun, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 64 Battle Soul Emperor!"
As he spoke, lightning crackled around him as he summoned his martial soul. Six perfectly matched soul rings appeared one by one, and a dragon's might swept towards Yang Ruolin, instantly making her unsteady and swaying.
Yang Ruolin quickly summoned her Martial Soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, and forcefully planted it in the ground. She gripped it tightly with both hands to steady herself. Three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared on the spear, their light flashing.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, her cherry-like mouth slightly agape, clearly because Yang Wudi had not explained Yu Tianyun's cultivation level to her beforehand.
Yang Ruolin turned to look at Yang Wudi, her face full of resentment, her eyes seeming to say, "You old man, why didn't you tell me sooner that he was a Soul Emperor? How was I supposed to fight him?"
Yang Wudi shrugged, looking helpless. He had originally planned to speak, but his granddaughter had a short temper. As soon as she heard that she was to be married to Yu Tianyun, she rushed over without saying a word. He was helpless and didn't have time to speak.
Looking at Yang Ruolin, who was struggling to even stand up straight, Yu Tianyun's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said in a slightly teasing tone, "Want to continue?"
Yang Ruolin was now in a difficult position. To admit defeat before even starting the competition was too humiliating. She bit her red lips tightly, remained silent for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes feigning determination, and said, "Let's fight! So what if you're a Soul Emperor? I, Yang Ruolin, will not easily admit defeat!"
Having said that, she mustered her soul power, gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear tightly, let out a delicate shout, and attacked Yu Tianyun.
