"Ye Chen, rest assured, I wouldn't deceive you!" Na Wudao promised, holding the magical flower with a grin that almost made his old teeth fall out.

After the Emperor and Li Qian Ge left, only Ye Chen and Na Wudao remained. The old Dragon King chatted with him for a while, and then suddenly proposed to betroth his daughter to him, asking only for a magical flower as a betrothal gift.

Ye Chen was extremely clever and instantly realized that Na Wudao was literally selling his daughter!

Though the magical flower was exceedingly rare and sought after, Ye Chen was not lacking in such treasures!

Li Qian Ge possessed a refreshing beauty and was a highly potential Land Goddess; she could serve as a bodyguard during the day and be a wife at night. Acquiring her for a magical flower was a bargain!

"Old Dragon King, you truly are heartless. For the sake of a magical flower, you sold your own daughter. Doesn't your conscience bother you?" Ye Chen asked, opening his eyes wide.

"Not at all, since she's not my biological daughter anyway!" Na Wudao laughed.

"..."

"However, even though Qian Ge is my adopted daughter, I am extremely fond of her. If she marries into the Ye Family, you must never treat her poorly!" Na Wudao earnestly said to Ye Chen.

"Don't worry, I'm the one who treasures wives the most!" Ye Chen said.

"Now that I've betrothed Qian Ge to you, we'll be family from this point forward!" Na Wudao looked at Ye Chen solemnly. "Catastrophe looms on the horizon, chaos is about to erupt, and we must join hands to weather the storm together!"

Na Wudao had ascended to the status of a Land God and his combat power had increased significantly, even surpassing Yun Zheyue!

Below the Other Shore, apart from Ye Chen, no one could match him!

Nevertheless, Na Wudao still aspired to Transcend the Other Shore and become an Emperor who reigns supreme over heaven and earth, for only in this way could he ensure his safety in the impending turmoil.

So the moment Na Wudao saw the magical flower, he couldn't help but sell his adopted daughter!

With this magical flower, it wouldn't be long before Na Wudao could ascend to the Other Shore!

However, Na Wudao was a wise Dragon King. His decision to sell his adopted daughter wasn't solely for his own benefit. In his mind, marrying her to Ye Chen was a joyful occasion for everyone involved.

Li Qian Ge was a favored daughter of the heavens. Not even thirty years old, she had leapt to immortal status—a cultivation prodigy rare to find in the world. The only man worthy of her was Ye Chen!

It might seem unreliable to marry Li Qian Ge to Ye Chen, but in reality, it was the most reliable decision.

Furthermore, marrying Li Qian Ge to Ye Chen was not only about finding a husband for his daughter but also seizing the opportunity to forge an alliance.

With calamity approaching, everyone was in danger.

If Na Wudao wanted to protect himself, he had to start planning and cultivating his relationships.

Selling Li Qian Ge to Ye Chen in secret was absolutely a smart move, creating a win-win situation that Na Wudao believed his daughter would thank him for!

"Your elder's high regard for me is quite overwhelming!" Ye Chen looked at Na Wudao, expressing an indescribable sentiment.

Though Ye Chen was young, his mind was as cunning as a fox's; Na Wudao's various calculations could not be concealed from him.

However, even if Na Wudao wanted to form an alliance with him, was it necessary to drag his daughter into it?

Na Wudao genuinely adored Li Qian Ge, treating her even more dearly than his own flesh and blood!

Now, in his pursuit of allying with Ye Chen, he had outright betrothed Li Qian Ge to him, and despite receiving a magical flower, it still left Ye Chen flattered and surprised.

Ye Chen had a very strong intuition that Na Wudao's interest in him surpassed everything, to the point of even being willing to marry his daughter to him.

Na Wudao was no ordinary individual; such a figure, even among ancient noble families, was top-notch. Why would he value him so much?

Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled.

"I betrothed Qian Ge to you because I valued your potential!" Na Wudao said with a smile. "Moreover, among the younger generation, no one else is worthy of Qian Ge besides you."

"Considering the ancient noble families have not yet emerged, isn't it a bit premature for you to make such a statement?" Ye Chen said meaningfully.

Ancient noble families had long-lasting inheritances and terrifying foundations; their status was absolutely transcendent and supreme. The reason these families could last for so long was because of their focus on the younger generation!

Ye Chen had a long talk with Emperor Litian, so he knew quite a bit about the ancient noble families.

People born into ancient noble families were baptized and had their bodies tempered by the strong from the moment of birth, they were exposed to martial arts at the age of three, and they began to learn martial arts at six!

Moreover, ancient noble families promoted survival of the fittest, contesting each generation to rise a most powerful individual!

The strongest individual would receive countless resources from the family and even personal guidance from the Great Venerable of the Other Shore!

What kind of incredible existence could be fostered by the thorough cultivation of an ancient noble family?

Ye Chen did not know how strong the strongest individual was, but he knew that very individual might likely be no weaker than him!

Na Wudao's status was extremely high, and Li Qian Ge's martial arts talent was monstrous enough. Under such conditions, for Li Qian Ge to marry into an ancient noble family and become the wife of the strongest individual should not be difficult.

Living off the wealth and prestige of an ancient noble family was definitely more promising than following Ye Chen.

However, Na Wudao did not do so and instead chose Ye Chen.

"Indeed, the ancient noble families are transcendent, but there are deep undercurrents within, and Qian Ge, even if she could marry into one, is more likely to find misfortune than fortune!"

Na Wudao uttered these words with his meaning somewhat unclear, as if he was reluctant to let Li Qian Ge wade into troubled waters.

"Since you've betrothed your daughter to me, I surely won't let you down!" It seemed as though Ye Chen was making a certain promise.

"Of course, I trust this." Na Wudao looked at Ye Chen and said with a faint smile. "In fact, those ancient noble families can't compare to you because you have several Saints backing you, as well as a large group of Great Venerables of the Other Shore to support you. With just one command from you, overturning an ancient noble family wouldn't be difficult."

Na Wudao said this and inexplicably laughed, still remembering Ye Chen's earlier boasting.

Ye Chen claimed not only to have a Saint as an ancestor but also to have recognized a Saint as a godfather, and even Ye Chen's own mother was a Great Venerable of the Other Shore. Moreover, his maternal great-grandfather was also a Saint, and he had a bunch of uncles who were Great Venerables of the Other Shore...

Ye Chen's claims were grand, scaring away the scruffy old man, Ao Wuchang, and Jin Hua, who couldn't bear Ye Chen's boasting.

But Na Wudao felt that things were not that simple. He had not been in contact with Ye Chen for long, but had some understanding of him.

The arrogance that Ye Chen had shown was always based on absolute strength, and he had never shot his arrows blindly.

Thus, if Ye Chen said he was a super second generation, then he might really be one.

Na Wudao's unreserved appreciation made Ye Chen very happy and proud; he had finally met an old man who knew his goods.

In the end, Ye Chen left satisfied, especially since Na Wudao had agreed to work on Li Qian Ge, convincing her to leave the South Sea with Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen returned to the villa, it was already very late at night.
