“A life-saving favor?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes widened, shining with curiosity. “What’s going on?”

Huangfu Ruiling didn’t hide anything, explaining the situation plainly. “When Huangfu Ruixiang was out training, Zhong Yating set a trap, leading to an attack by wild beasts. Just when things seemed dire, she appeared out of nowhere and risked her life to save him. Afterward, she was severely injured, almost losing her life. In gratitude, she sought to marry Huangfu Ruixiang, who had no choice but to agree.”

“Zhong Yating is quite determined,” Ye Leng’an remarked, feeling incredulous. “Risking her life for a man who doesn’t reciprocate her feelings, what is she after?”

“Probably aiming to marry into the Huangfu family,” Huangfu Ruiling replied casually. “Though born in the Hidden World, she comes from a remote village. It was only after being with Huangfu Ruixiang that she experienced a life of luxury.”

“I thought cultivators wouldn’t care much about such things.” Ye Leng’an mused, shaking her head. “But then again, who wants to live in hardship if they can avoid it?”

Despite valuing her cultivation, Ye Leng’an still sought a comfortable life. After all, she didn’t want to suffer in the long run.

“Zhong Yating’s abilities are limited,” Huangfu Ruiling added. “No matter how hard she tries, she won’t progress much without medicinal pills to enhance her physique.”

Ye Leng’an nodded in understanding. “So instead of futile cultivation, it’s better to marry into wealth and live comfortably.”

“Let’s head back,” Huangfu Ruiling suggested, rising and leading Ye Leng’an out.

Inside the main residence of the Huangfu family, tension lingered. Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying wore grim expressions, especially when they looked at Zhong Yating, reflecting their displeasure with this future daughter-in-law.

Although the topic was marriage, silence filled the room, creating an uneasy atmosphere.

Yet, Zhong Yating felt the most discomfort. Even her fiancé, Huangfu Ruixiang, showed no inclination to defend her or ease the tension.

Watching him, Zhong Yating briefly doubted her decision. But the allure of the wealthy Huangfu lifestyle quickly dispelled her hesitation.

Zhongyu Liuying motioned for Huangfu Ruixiang to follow her outside, and he obliged. However, Zhong Yating attempted to hold him back, only to have her hand brushed off.

With two absentees, the atmosphere grew even more awkward. Eventually, Huangfu Jingzhang left, leaving Zhong Yating alone in the living room.

At this moment, Zhong Yating found it increasingly difficult to maintain her smile. She felt particularly embarrassed. Today was supposed to be a day for discussing marriage, yet not a single one of her fiancé’s parents seemed to approve of her. And her fiancé himself had never shown any inclination to stand up for her. She could almost imagine what her future days would be like.

Despite the discomfort, Zhong Yating remained resolute. She wouldn’t regret her choice, having nearly sacrificed her life for it. Her determination showed in her serene demeanor.

Zhongyu Liuying looked at Huangfu Ruixiang standing across from her and immediately launched into criticism. “Ruixiang, what happened to your previous assurance to me? You said you were only engaged to Zhong Yating and would definitely not marry her. So what are you doing now? You actually intend to marry her? Are you out of your mind?”

Faced with Zhongyu Liuying’s accusation, Huangfu Ruixiang did not offer any rebuttal. He simply sighed helplessly before finally speaking up, “Mother, please, don’t say anymore. Everything is already set in stone now. No matter what, I am determined to marry Zhong Yating.”

“You’re being foolish!” Zhongyu Liuying said with exasperation. “Do you realize how crucial the choice of your future wife is for your prospects? Even if you’re not a disciple of a prominent family in the Hidden World, there are plenty of suitable candidates from influential families in the mortal world. But what did you do? You actually chose someone like her, you…”

Towards the end, Zhongyu Liuying almost couldn’t continue.

“Mother, I understand everything you’ve said.” Huangfu Ruixiang’s face bore a bitter smile. “But she saved my life. I can’t abandon her. Now, everyone in the Hidden World’s Huangfu family knows that Zhong Yating deeply cares for me. She nearly lost her life saving mine. Tell me, if I abandon her now, what kind of person will I be in their eyes?”

“But even if she saved you, there’s no need to sacrifice your entire life for her!” Zhongyu Liuying said bitterly. “Just give her some other benefits as gratitude for saving your life! Why must it be marriage? And even if it is marriage, there’s no need to rush! You could just string her along, maybe she’ll give up on her own in the end!”

“Mother, it’s futile.” Huangfu Ruixiang shook his head. “I’ve considered all you’ve said, but it’s not practical.”
