Chapter 325: Mm, Getting Married Soon

Chapter 325: Well... We’re About to Get the Marriage Certificate

On the street.

“Mom, there are two suns in the sky!”

“Young and already lying—yesterday you said Dad was playing with two beauties, and today you’re saying there are two suns!”

“It’s true, look!”

In the hospital.

“?? Damn it, did my surgery fail? Why are there two suns in the sky?”

“Two suns?” The doctor was baffled. The operation was on the eyes, not the brain—had he cut something wrong? Maybe... send him to a psychiatric hospital?

Thinking this, he too looked up at the sky, and instantly his gaze froze.

At that moment, on Gongxing, cries of astonishment erupted everywhere. Countless people raised their heads, their faces filled with disbelief.

“There’s an extra sun in the sky!”

“Could the rumors be true—spiritual energy reviving, immortal paths awakening, myths descending?”

“Holy shit, a sun—blinding my dog eyes!”

“Based on my limited scientific knowledge, will Gongxing be destroyed in a few minutes?”

“Why a few minutes?”

“Light takes a few minutes to reach us. With an extra sun, can Gongxing handle it?”

“You idiot, we can see the sun now, so the light’s already here!”

“Ah?”

At this moment, across the entire country, in every corner, all eyes turned to the sky. The extra sun filled them with shock, curiosity, and even terror of the unknown.

Some even prostrated themselves in worship before the celestial anomaly.

On a warship, Luo Ping stared in astonishment, feeling for the first time that events had spiraled beyond his expectations.

As a reawakened one, he knew Gongxing’s major events like the back of his hand.

He could recite every hidden treasure and relic by heart.

But an extra sun in the sky? He had never heard of such a thing.

He gazed at the heavens, his expression grave.

Just then, a tall, sexy woman in a blue skirt approached, her eyes tenderly fixed on Luo Ping as if he were the center of her world. “Grandfather’s call.”

Luo Ping quickly took the phone. “Grandfather...”

“The sun in the sky... I don’t know either. Before the reawakening, there was no extra sun. It might be... an unforeseen change.”

“Mm, Xiaoqin and I are on our way to Xingyun Island. We’ll come back as soon as we get the item.”

Luo Ping hung up, glanced again at the sun in the sky, then turned to his young and beautiful wife.

A sense of contentment filled him. “It’s fine. The sun appearing in the sky, the world reawakening—things of that magnitude are too far from us. Taking care of our little family is enough.”

At that moment, on Canxing, a massive space fleet cruised through the depths of deep space.

A man in a white, fluid-like battle suit wore a hint of confusion.

“Professor Li, what are the results of the probe?”

The elderly professor stared at the large screen ahead, a rare look of bewilderment in his eyes.

“Our detector’s seventh-level Canlight cannot make contact with... the newly appeared sun.”

“Cannot make contact?” The young man’s eyes grew serious for the first time.

Canlight was a type of light discovered by the Morningstar Nation while excavating ruins in the depths of the universe.

Its properties were unique; seventh-level Canlight excelled at detection.

It could probe all kinds of celestial bodies.

Even black holes could be surveyed around their edges.

And now, the probe had failed?

“It seems to exist, yet it doesn’t—hovering between reality and unreality.” Professor Li paused as he spoke.

The young man frowned, not understanding. “Any clues? Like where it came from, or what effect it might have on Canxing?”

Professor Li shook his head. “I suspect it’s related to ancient immortal paths, but the relevant materials require access to the National Archives. My clearance isn’t high enough.”

The National Archives was the largest library on Canxing, housing the most ancient texts, the most data, and the most documents.

Many of the books there were unique and could not be borrowed.

Some materials, due to special reasons, couldn’t be digitized or even photographed and uploaded to the internet, so they remained in the National Archives.

Professor Li wanted to enter the National Archives to investigate the sudden appearance of the sun.

“Alright, once our fleet returns, I’ll immediately apply to my superiors!”

The young man cast one last glance at the elusive sun and piloted the fleet back toward Canxing.

...

The Han family.

Beihe Han Xianyun stretched and walked outside.

The martial arts tournament was just a few days away, and he needed to see Qi Yuan to discuss the arrangements.

But as he reached the door, a middle-aged man in a black jacket blocked his path.

Seeing the man, Han Xianyun’s gaze turned reverent, with a hint of fear. “Big brother.”

“You’re going out... to see Qi Yuan?” Han Kang’s voice carried an air of authority.

Han Xianyun lowered his head. “Mm.”

“I advise you not to see him recently. He seems to be entangled in something.” Han Kang warned.

“Ah?” Han Xianyun was bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

“Has Mr. Qi run into trouble?” he asked worriedly.

But then, recalling Qi Yuan’s strength, he felt reassured.

Qi Yuan was the one who had pierced through the Guiran military camp with a single sword stroke. What trouble could he possibly face?

“Big trouble. It’s suspected to be related to the Seven Martial Stars.

I’m at a critical point for entering the Provincial Council. You need to be steady and not cause trouble, understand?” Han Kang warned again.

His position was already high; one more step would put him in the Provincial Council—similar to the provincial party committee in Qi Yuan’s previous life on Blue Star.

“Seven Martial Stars?” Han Xianyun frowned at the name.

If it were any other trouble, Han Xianyun wouldn’t be afraid, and he figured Qi Yuan could handle it easily.

But the Seven Martial Stars family was different.

The Seven Martial Stars family wielded a divine weapon known as the Eye of Heaven.

Beneath the Eye of Heaven, all things were equal.

It was a weapon even more terrifying than nuclear arms.

"Mm." Han Kang nodded, said nothing more, and strode straight into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the old steward stepped forward: "Master, given Second Master's temper, perhaps... should we send someone to follow him, keep an eye on him?"

Han Kang's footsteps halted.

He had heard a little about Qi Yuan's affairs, but the details were unclear.

His position did not allow him to meddle in conflicts at that level.

He only vaguely knew that Qi Yuan was merely a fuse—a fuse that had ignited two factions.

As for which side to align with... Han Kang had no clue yet.

In truth, he wanted to enter the provincial council, to advance further—it was time to pick a side.

"No need to follow," Han Kang shook his head. "Father and Mother left everything to me; I owe my younger brother too much.

This time... let him be.

As they say, 'When brothers are of one mind, they can cut through metal.' This once, as his elder brother, I'll indulge him."

Han Kang spoke softly.

He was old enough to be his brother's father.

Thus, their relationship had always been strained.

All the family's political resources had been poured into him, so his brother could only make his way in the martial arts circle—he felt some guilt. Anyway, he hadn't chosen a side yet, nor did he know which to choose, so he might as well let his brother decide for him.

At that moment, Han Xianyun's heart was tangled with indecision.

His elder brother's words made him tense.

"No, I have to tell Mr. Qi about this in advance.

If not for him, when I met that really awesome woman last time, I'd probably be dead."

Han Xianyun was a man of loyalty.

Last time, when he stumbled into that mysterious space, if Qi Yuan hadn't acted, he would have died long ago.

As the saying goes, the killer dies—Qi Yuan had saved his life, so he naturally had to repay the favor.

As for his brother's warning, he could only set it aside for now.

Han Xianyun's thinking was simple: so-called gold and silver, so-called power and influence, were nothing compared to the preciousness of life.

With that thought, he quickly drove toward the hotel where Qi Yuan was staying.

"How did Brother Qi get on the wrong side of the Seven Martial Stars family?" Han Xianyun was utterly perplexed.

But at this moment, he had no time to ponder.

After all, the world was full of strange things, and even more things he didn't understand.

For instance, an extra sun in the sky?

Who could make sense of that?

No one.

Half an hour later, he finally drove to the hotel.

Before he even parked the car, his sharp eyes immediately spotted a familiar figure.

"Brother Qi?"

Without any hesitation, Han Xianyun got out of the car and ran toward Qi Yuan.

When he ran over, he froze—standing beside Qi Yuan was a charming young girl in a fitted black dress.

Her skin was very fair, starkly contrasting with the black dress, radiant under the sunlight. Beneath the hem, black stockings wrapped her shapely, straight calves; her hair cascaded down like a black waterfall. The girl before him seemed to have stepped out of history, blending classical and modern beauty.

Originally, Han Xianyun thought Princess Huansha was beautiful enough, but compared to this charming girl, she was not even a ten-thousandth.

"This is Han Xianyun, uh, a guy I know," Qi Yuan said to the girl beside him. "He has unique taste—likes women who are really something."

After saying that, Qi Yuan turned to Han Xianyun: "This is Ning Tao, also called Canary. She's my... um... we're about to get the certificate."

At those last few words, Qi Yuan hesitated a little.

The canary in the black dress was petite and delicate, small and quite adorable. Hearing Qi Yuan's words, a blush crept to her ears.

"Hehe, Blood Drop, I thought you liked men," the canary said, reaching out to hug Qi Yuan's arm tightly. Sunlight spilled over her skirt, and she felt lazy and content.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm perfectly normal," Qi Yuan said, glancing at Han Xianyun.

As for who wasn't normal—that would be Han Xianyun.

"Since you're here, you know this place well. Canary just arrived; we're planning to buy some clothes and such—lead the way." Qi Yuan was being a freeloader again.

Anyway, this was a casual leisure game—in such a game, not buying nice clothes for your wife to dress up for you to see would be too much of a loss.

After all, it was easy on the eyes.

"Brother Qi, forget shopping—this is urgent!" Han Xianyun said anxiously. "I heard from my brother that one of the Seven Martial Stars families seems to have its eye on you, planning to do you harm!"

The Seven Martial Stars were taboo in the Qin Yuan Kingdom.

Or rather, these families had ruled the kingdom since ancient times.

The royal house had changed several times, but the Seven Martial Stars still stood unshaken.

As soon as Han Xianyun finished speaking, he immediately felt the air around him turn cold, as if plunged into ice.

This sensation came quickly, and went just as fast.

He suddenly realized that the chill might have come from the charming girl beside Qi Yuan.

His heart trembled.

Could it be that she, too, was a formidable one?

"Where are the Seven Martial Stars?" Ning Tao's voice was sweet, like sugar in a honey jar.

Qi Yuan held her small hand: "It's just a game. Don't bother with NPCs—that would be a waste of emotion."

The canary heard this, smiled sweetly, and said nothing more.

"Brother Qi, I know you're strong, but... the Eye of Heaven is too terrifying. You... might..." Han Xianyun stammered.

Qi Yuan, however, laughed: "Right now I'm weak and helpless, but my wife is here.

If someone hits me, then it's my wife's turn. I'm not afraid!"

Qi Yuan said proudly, like a spoiled second-generation heir.

Hit the young one, and the old one comes.

With Canary around, above the Archstar, he could walk sideways.

Canary tightly clung to Qi Yuan's arm and nodded vigorously: "Hehe, I've got your back this time, Blood Bead!"

Han Xianyun looked at Canary with a puzzled expression, hesitation and confusion in her heart.

Could it be that this Canary was an even fiercer powerhouse than Qi Yuan?

...

One day later.

Inside a military base.

A dossier was placed on the table.

Marquis Lanhai stood to the side, his face bearing a respectful expression.

Before him sat a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

The man scanned the dossier, a flash of admiration in his eyes: "Mighty force truly is everything; even a woman like this willingly gives her heart."

The man had seen many women, all types of beauties, seen and played with.

But the one in the dossier—merely captured by an ordinary camera, without any beauty filters or retouching—was already so captivating. In reality, what peerless beauty would she be?

And such a woman, leaning on Qi Yuan like a delicate bird, stirred a pang of jealousy in his heart.

"Young Master Mu, what should we do?" Marquis Lanhai asked cautiously.

He had secretly investigated Qi Yuan and stolen his dossier on Young Master Mu's orders.

As a result, his theft was discovered, and he even received a coffin—he was truly panicked.

That was a ruthless man who could slay an entire Guiran camp with a single sword strike.

Although Guiran's army was feeble, far inferior to Qinyuan Kingdom's troops, Qi Yuan was absolutely a formidable figure in his eyes.

In Qinyuan Kingdom, there were not many weapons capable of dealing with Qi Yuan or killing him.

"It's simple—tomorrow you go and apologize to him in person.

As for me, I'll go meet his little girlfriend.

If he's sensible, he should know what to do.

If not, his fate... will be very grim.

His little girlfriend will become a widow, and I... happen to enjoy that sort of thing." Young Master Mu's eyes held a condescending look.

The Seven Martial Stars families had ruled this land for over a thousand years.

No matter how many emperors changed or uprisings arose, those above were still them.

Stable and unshakable, they naturally grew arrogant and conceited.

Qi Yuan was indeed terrifying.

But... could he compare to the dreadful Canxing?

Even if Canxing casually dispatched a single warship, it could annihilate Qi Yuan.

Yet even such a powerful Canxing had failed in its invasion of Gongxing.

The rule of the Seven Martial Stars was unbreakable.

Young Master Mu had reason to be proud.

With the revival of the immortal path, they had already grasped much information about it.

To them, Qi Yuan was more like an unstable element.
