Although it was Jiang Che's first time bowing at a wedding ceremony, he wasn't nervous at all.
He offered immortal wine to the Jiang family ancestors one by one. Of course... this was just a formality. Even these immortal ancestors had to rely on the Longevity Immortal Peaches in Jiang Che's hands to cling to life.
On the surface, Jiang Che was the Crown Prince of the Jiang family, but in reality, he was the Emperor Emeritus!
"Ahem... Jiang Che, this is a red packet from your ancestor."
A white-haired old man pulled a spatial ring from his pocket. Jiang Che accepted it with a grin... He didn't immediately check the contents because...
[Ding! Host has scammed Ancestor Jiang Wangchuan. Obtained 1 billion points...]
Clearly, triggering a billion points at once meant this old man had coughed up his entire life savings—his coffin money.
"Uh... Ancestor, what about Yueyue's?" Jiang Che flashed his pearly whites and poked Jiang Yueye beside him.
[Wife, hurry up! If we don't take advantage of this, it's a waste!]
Wi... Wife?!!
Jiang Yueye was completely stupefied, her face turning crimson. This... this guy really had zero sense of boundaries.
She used to be someone with very strong boundaries, but for some reason now...
"Ancestor!" Jiang Yueye extended a hand as if possessed by a ghost.
Jiang Wangchuan: "..."
Damn! I really have to give two portions?!
Fortunately, he had prepared two spatial rings in advance. He had intended to wait and see; if the other immortals only gave to Jiang Che... then he would only give one. But as it turned out... they started begging from him first?
"Ahem, naturally, we couldn't leave you out, Yueyue."
Another spatial ring, stuffed to the brim, was handed over.
When Jiang Yueye sent her divine soul into it, she couldn't help but be startled. Although she was the daughter of an immortal with countless cultivation resources and her own small treasury, how could it compare to an immortal's personal stash?
"Hehe, I wish Ancestor Wangchuan no worries about food or clothing, and may you live in a high-rise instead of a bungalow!" Jiang Che grinned, his smile so cheeky it made people want to punch him.
[Ding! Host has scammed...]
No worries about food or clothing? Damn it, I'm an immortal!!!
Jiang Che then dragged Jiang Yueye to toast the other ancestors one by one. Two red packets per person—no one was escaping!
[Jiang Che, is... is this really okay?]
Jiang Yueye looked at her ten slender fingers, all wearing spatial rings. Ten fingers weren't even enough; some fingers had two rings on them...
[Wife! These things belonged to the Jiang family before, but afterwards, they'll be ours. It's a waste not to take them...]
Jiang Yueye: "..."
The one scammed the hardest was Jiang Che's father-in-law. The Seventh Ancestor had truly emptied his coffin savings.
He nearly had a myocardial infarction!
Finally, Jiang Che arrived in front of a middle-aged woman dressed entirely in white with white hair. She looked about forty or fifty years old. Her clothes, hair, and even her pupils were white, making her look like a snowman.
"Snowman Ancestor! Look here—" Jiang Che extended his hand, begging for alms again!
"You're the Snowman Ancestor! I am the Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm!!!" The middle-aged woman glared at Jiang Che, seemingly full of rage.
Jiang Che: "???"
Why are you yelling at me? You're scaring my bride.
"Ancestor, your grandma is the Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm... what does that have to do with us? It's our wedding day..."
[Ding! Host has scammed...]
"I already gave you my gift. The Immortal-grade wedding robes you are wearing were refined from my silk..." the woman said grumpily. The immortal silk she had stored for over a hundred thousand years was all gone!
"Silkworm Ancestor, one thing is one thing. You don't want people to criticize you, right?" Jiang Che whispered.
The Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm was so angry she almost laughed. She was a dignified immortal... a close friend of the Jiang family's Second Ancestor, with the cultivation of a Fourth Tribulation Immortal Lord!
Aside from the Third Ancestor, she was the second Fourth Tribulation Immortal Lord in the Jiang family, their greatest trump card.
If not for the Second Ancestor asking her to stay, how could she possibly remain as a guardian for the Jiang family?
[Jiang Che, this person is our Jiang family's Silkworm Ancestor, a Fourth Tribulation Immortal Lord... She might be in her molting period recently, so her temper is explosive. Don't provoke her.]
Jiang Yueye secretly transmitted her voice to Jiang Che.
Jiang Che was completely fearless. Of course, he knew this old woman; he was waiting for her to spit out more immortal silk for him!
After the ceremony, he planned to pay this ancestor a personal visit.
"Hmph~ Rude junior, take it!"
The Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm huffed in annoyance and tossed out two snow-white items.
"Immortal Silkworm Molted Shells?" Some immortals widened their eyes. Clearly... the treasure the Nine Tribulations Immortal Silkworm produced was extraordinary.
Jiang Che smiled and accepted them both.
Then he gave one to Jiang Yueye.
After scamming all the ancestors one by one, Jiang Che finally took Jiang Yueye's hand to proceed with the wedding ceremony.
Human joys and sorrows are not connected; the ancestors, who were originally happy, now found the couple before them to be an absolute eyesore.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Second bow to the High Hall!"
During the ceremony, the sound of frantic system notifications rang in Jiang Che's ears.
Clearly, Jiang Che's girls had completely overturned their vinegar jars, but they could only stew in their jealousy.
As for Jiang Yueye, she was a bit dazed; she even bumped heads with Jiang Che during the bow.
......
At the banquet.
"I can't take it anymore! I can't take it! They are colluding in villainy! Colluding!"
Yu Wan'er was so angry she almost jumped onto the table.
Of course, the other girls weren't faring much better.
Even Shen Yu felt sour in her heart. The feeling of watching her man bow in marriage to another woman... was truly uncomfortable, like the pain of a public execution.
However, the girls from the Nine Heavens at the second table were handling it much better. After all, they had seen a lot. Since it was extremely difficult for the Great Emperors and Ancestors of the Nine Heavens to produce offspring, they usually had harems numbering in the hundreds or thousands. Compared to that, what was Jiang Che doing? It was nothing.
"I have a plan!!!"
Qin Qiaoqiao suddenly raised her hand!
"Oh? Qiaoqiao, what plan do you have? Tell us quickly!"
"Hehe, I just found something good in the system!" The corners of Qin Qiaoqiao's mouth lifted. "Invincible Transformation Card!"
Speaking, Qin Qiaoqiao took out a prop card.
"This item card allows us to transform into any object for 24 hours. Even immortals won't be able to detect it!" Qin Qiaoqiao got more excited as she spoke.
"So? What's the use of this transformation card?" Chen Ningshuang frowned.
"Of course it's useful! Let me tell you... I've already scoped out the location where Jiang Che and Jiang Yueye will spend their wedding night. We can sneak behind the curtains and use the transformation cards to spy on them tonight. I'll take the lead... and voluntarily transform into a pillow!"
The girls: "..."
As expected, they shouldn't have let her speak.
...
And just after Jiang Che and Jiang Yueye finished their ceremony, an extremely unfamiliar aura suddenly appeared within the Jiang family home.
"The Jiang family is certainly lively today. I wonder... might I join the celebration?"
An ethereal female voice slowly drifted through the air!
In an instant, every immortal of the Jiang family felt their hair stand on end.
A figure was seen slowly stepping out of the void.
She was clad in a plain white robe with a slender sword carried on her back. Her dark hair was tied back simply, and a wine gourd hung at her waist. Her face was peerless, possessing an otherworldly beauty.
] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
