Chapter 165: Approval From Family

"Why would a Great Emperor take a fancy to Xueying!"

Li Taibai felt immense pain in his heart. He did not know why, but after meeting Wu Xueying, his heart, which had never been stirred before, began to beat.

He vowed that he would marry none but Wu Xueying in this life, and in the end, he achieved his wish and was together with Wu Xueying.

However, he did not expect that not long after being with Wu Xueying, a Great Emperor would suddenly appear in the Mystic Heaven Realm, claiming to have taken a fancy to Wu Xueying and demanding he hand her over, or else the Azure Lotus Holy Land would be destroyed.

After learning of this, the elders of the Azure Lotus Holy Land all spoke up, urging him to hand over Wu Xueying, or else they would strip him of his position as Holy Master. Even the rest of the Mystic Heaven Realm demanded he hand her over.

Suddenly, Li Taibai felt as if he were the enemy of the entire world. Yet, even so, he did not choose to compromise. Xueying was his woman and the love of his life; even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would absolutely not let anything happen to her.

Just then, Xueying came to Li Taibai's side and, looking at his exhausted appearance, said.

"Husband, why don't you just hand me over? I don't want to see you like this."

"Silly girl, this is a matter that a man should resolve. I am your man, and I will absolutely not let you go out and endure all of this alone."

Li Taibai forced a smile and reached out to stroke Wu Xueying's hair.

Li Taibai then prepared himself; even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would absolutely not let Wu Xueying sacrifice herself.

Therefore, after Wu Xueying fell into a deep sleep, Li Taibai's expression hardened. He gently leaned forward to give her a goodbye kiss, then took the Qinglian Sword and rushed toward the direction of that Great Emperor.

That Great Emperor had resided in the Central Region since emerging into the world. All he could do was find that Great Emperor and fight him—even if it meant self-detonation, even if it meant perishing together, he would not hesitate!

"Interesting, you actually came to my doorstep. Have you prepared yourself to offer up your wife?"

Upon seeing Li Taibai arrive, the Great Emperor was surprised at first, but soon a smile curled at the corner of his lips, showing that everything was under his control.

However, he did not expect that in the next second, Li Taibai would suddenly launch an attack, directly activating the Qinglian Sword to strike at the Great Emperor.

A visible look of panic appeared on the Great Emperor's face.

"How dare you! I am a Great Emperor; even at the Early Stage, I am not someone a mere Quasi-Emperor Peak like you can rival!"

Li Taibai's expression was cold, and he let out a cold snort.

"Daring to covet my wife—let alone a Great Emperor, even if you were a Red Dust Immortal, I would still dare to wield my sword against you. In any case, die!"

Having said that, Li Taibai engaged in a fierce battle with that Great Emperor Early Stage. Because Li Taibai had come with the determination to fight to the death, his fighting style was reckless and desperate.

Although his own injuries were more severe, the injuries on that Great Emperor were also terrifying. Li Taibai could not hurt him on his own; what could hurt him was that Emperor Armament.

"Damn it, Fellow Daoist, let's end this matter here. I will no longer covet your wife, how about that?"

Facing the other party's plea for mercy, Li Taibai was not moved in the slightest. He absolutely could not leave behind even the slightest hidden danger for his wife, not even a little!

Therefore, the only outcome for the other party was death.

"Damn it, even if you kill me, don't think you'll have an easy time!"

That Great Emperor gritted his teeth, and his fighting style became even more ferocious. Soon, Li Taibai felt that he could no longer hold on.

Thus, gritting his teeth, he directly maneuvered the Emperor Armament to strike at the other party. As he did so, a burst of aura far exceeding that of a Great Emperor erupted from the Emperor Armament, causing the Great Emperor's expression to become shocked.

"What, you are actually self-detonating an Emperor Armament!"

It was not just Great Emperors who could self-detonate; Emperor Armaments could do the same, and their power was no less than that of a Great Emperor's self-detonation. The only drawback was that the owner of the Emperor Armament would be severely injured at best, or die and dissipate at worst.

But Li Taibai had already prepared himself. Even if he died, even if he failed the Azure Lotus Holy Land, he could not fail Wu Xueying!

"From the day you coveted my wife, you should have been prepared for this! Die!"

After saying this, Li Taibai directly controlled the Qinglian Sword to self-detonate. The terrifying power directly blasted that Great Emperor to death. Li Taibai, as the master of the Emperor Armament, did not fare much better; half of his body was blown apart, and his aura was extremely weak.

Just then, vaguely, Li Taibai saw Wu Xueying running toward him, crying out. But Li Taibai could no longer control himself and could only close his heavy eyes.

Xueying, I cannot love you in this life anymore. In the next life, and the life after that, I will continue to protect you by your side, for all eternity.

"This guy, he's troublesome."

Looking at this scene, Wu Hao sighed helplessly.

The good news was that Li Taibai truly loved his granddaughter, to the extent that he was even willing to give his life for her.

The bad news was that he had passed all the tests, and if he continued to make things difficult for him, it would be a bit unreasonable.

With a sigh, Wu Hao withdrew from Li Taibai's illusion.

Li Taibai had effectively gained his, Wu Hao's, approval and could become the Wu Family's son-in-law.

Not long after Wu Hao left Li Taibai's illusion, Li Taibai also woke up from the illusion. He touched his heart, not knowing why he felt as if something had just happened, but he could not recall it.

He decided not to think about it anymore; the most important thing right now was the matter of going to the Wu Family to propose marriage in fifteen days.

On the other side, after seeing Wu Hao return, Wu Rulong and the others all came forward and said with excitement.

"Father/Grandfather, how did it go? Have you figured out that Li Taibai is just after our Wu Family's power and doesn't love Xueying at all?"

"Enough, let this matter end here. Li Taibai has passed my test, and I can be certain that he truly loves Xueying, to the extent that he would even give his life for her."

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Wu Rulong and the others were stunned on the spot, their faces full of disbelief.

That's not right, Grandfather, aren't you on the same side as us? We subjects wish to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?

Wu Qiankun and Wu Xuanyuan were about to say something more, but were stopped by Wu Rulong.

Wu Rulong took a deep breath, looked at Wu Hao, and said with an extremely serious expression.

"Father, are you sure about this?"

"Yes, I am certain. Li Taibai is indeed Xueying's ideal husband."

Wu Hao nodded, his tone full of certainty.

Upon hearing this, Wu Rulong could only sigh and nod in agreement.

He naturally knew his father's character—what he said was final. Since his father had decided today, then this Li Taibai must be a decent person. He only hoped that his daughter would not suffer any grievances with him; otherwise, he would not mind letting the entire Azure Lotus Holy Land witness the anger of the Wu Family.

The last power to witness the anger of the Wu Family was the Li Dynasty.

Li Taibai did not know that he had, in a daze, gained the approval of Wu Xueying's family.

At this moment, Li Taibai was still thinking about how much he should prepare for his marriage proposal.
