The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 209: Test run?

"My parents are most likely staying in the same hotel they usually stay in."

Leading easily through the various routes which Zheng Niu seemed familiar with, they stopped in a location which was near the outskirts of the city.

With a boundary wall that covered a wide area inside it, Jian Shen could see many big and lavishly built courtyard inside the walls.

Furthermore, there were even many rare herbs and trees planted inside the boundary and making the entire structure look even more beautiful.

Walking past the guards who looked like they were used to men like him that walked hand in hand with two women, Jian Shen saw that it wasn't just the quality of Qi which was better than on the Wu Yun Continent, but even the ladies here were much more beautiful.

Going near the receptionist and asking for which room her parents were in, the three of them began moving in the direction while Xiulan kept on giggling from time to time.

"What's so funny, Xiulan?"

"I just never imagined you to be the type that would marry someone, Jian Shen. Not this soon anyway. So, I can't wait to see how your meeting with her parents goes."

It could be said that the reason Wuying hadn't asked for Jian Shen to first meet her father was because he had zero experience in such a thing, and wanted for the meeting between Jian Shen and her father to go as smoothly as possible due to which she didn't have any problems in letting Jian Shen ask Zheng Niu's parents for her hand in marriage first.

Hearing all of this, Zheng Niu gently snorted and said, "I'm sure my parents won't have any problems in letting me marry you."

"Just."

Shaking her head midway and stopping herself, Zheng Niu said, "You'll know when you meet them."

Feeling curious as to what she was trying to say before stopping herself, Jian Shen unconsciously decreased his speed causing the other two to slow down as well.

Passing many paths which led to other courtyards along the way, the trio finally entered on the path which led to the courtyard that Zheng Niu's parents were inside right now.

"A word of advice, don't get too shocked regardless of what happens."

Smiling meaningfully, Jian Shen raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Followed by the sound of knocking, the trip patiently waited as the sound of footsteps appeared from the other side, "Who is it?"

Saying those words with the addition of a melody that it made the voice sound like it was singing, the female didn't wait for an answer before opening the door.

"It's my daughter.... Who's hugging someone that isn't my son in law... And his lover?"

The woman proceeded to laugh a little but soon stopped because no one out of the three that were in front of her laughed and instead had awkward looks on their faces.

"Seriously?!"

Sighing a little and moving to the side, the woman who looked like an older version of Zheng Niu invited the three of them inside.

Taking all of them to the hall where there were enough chairs for everyone to sit in, and a table to serve tea on, the woman suddenly shouted, "Bring us a pot of tea!"

Thinking that this Genesis Realm woman had brought her maids along with her, Jian Shen soon found himself surprised from who it was that brought them tea.

"My daughter is here, and all you can tell me is to bring tea? Couldn't you...?"

"Shut up and get out. We have something we need to discuss."

Sighing and leaving, the man made Jian Shen think that he was used to receiving such a treatment.

A little surprised, Jian Shen felt that it might be due to his wife being in the Genesis Realm while he was still in the Saint Realm.

Once the man felt with a disappointed smile, Zheng Niu's mother began speaking.

"Would one of you three like to explain about what is going on here?"

Jian Shen was just about to reveal the reason behind why he came here when Zheng Niu suddenly spoke.

"We want to marry each other."

"The three of you?"

Chuckling and shaking her head, Xiulan said, "I'm only here to watch and have some fun."

"Such an interesting personality, shouldn't you marry someone like her instead of my daughter?"

Completely surprised from not having expected such a question, Jian Shen now understood who wore the pants in the relationship between Zheng Niu's mother, and what she was trying to say when they were on the way here.

"Just kidding. So, what is it that made you want to marry him instead of Yan Bo?"

"You mean other than his looks, wealth, and strength?"

As her mother nodded her head, Zheng Niu said, "Because I feel happy when I'm with him."

Rolling her eyes, the woman said, "Such things only last for a while. After that passes, all you are left with is a boring husband that does everything you tell them to do."

Seeing Zheng Niu's lips twitch as her mother said such words, Jian Shen felt that this family was truly too weird.

"Anyway, come with me boy. I need to test you and see if you are good enough for my daughter."

"Test? I don't remember there being a test for that Yan Bo."

"That's because it was your stupid father who wanted you to marry him, not me."

"Now don't dilly dally for too long. As a mother who wants to provide nothing but the best to her daughter, I'm not going to let you marry her before I have a test run with you."

With his own lips twitching from how that look on the woman's face was something he was very familiar with, and it definitely wasn't something formal like she was trying to claim, Jian ashen stood up while seeing Zheng Niu mouthed the words, 'Remember your promise.'
