Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

“If you refuse, don’t even think about leaving this house today!”

“This is my house.”

“Then I’ll use my connections to make your life miserable!”

“I’m a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect.”

“Then I’ll go to the Dao Seeking Sect and accuse you of forcing a good woman into prostitution!”

“Spreading false accusations can get you imprisoned.”

“Then the two people you brought today will be in danger!”

“Please, go ahead. One is our sect leader’s fourth disciple, and the other is the eldest son of the Meng family.”

“Then I’ll…”

Li Haoran’s parents were at a loss, not expecting Qin Yanyan to resist so fiercely. Although they were the elders, their cultivation levels were the lowest in the room.

Su Yiren held Qin Yanyan’s shoulder from behind, trying to calm her daughter: “Yanyan, I know it’s hard for you to accept this betrothal right now, but why don’t you try getting to know Haoran? Maybe you’ll…”

“There’s no ‘maybe’ about it!” Qin Yanyan shook off Su Yiren’s hand, looking like an angry little lion.

“Mom, did you ask for my consent when you arranged this marriage?”

“You weren’t born yet at the time.”

“And after I was born, you didn’t tell me about the betrothal until a few days ago!” Qin Yanyan recalled how a few days ago, her gentle mother suddenly informed her of the engagement, which felt like a bolt from the blue.

“You could have at least told me earlier! Then I wouldn’t be at a loss for how to threaten him.”

Su Yiren was speechless. Seeing her mother like this only made Qin Yanyan angrier: “In any case, I do not agree to this marriage!”

Qin Yanyan pointed at Li Haoran: “I’m giving you a chance to save face. Annul the engagement now, and we’ll call it quits”

Li Haoran also got angry. If they had discussed it nicely and she didn’t want to honor the engagement, he would have annulled it. But her aggressive attitude was too much: “You think you can annul it just because you say so?”

He spoke slowly and clearly: “I’m telling you, I will never annul this engagement in my lifetime!”

Qin Yanyan’s temper flared at his words.

“Today, you will annul this engagement whether you want to or not! Dawn Talisman!”

Qin Yanyan pulled out a talisman, which turned into a beam of white light, shooting towards Li Haoran.

Li Haoran put on his gloves and punched the white light away.

“Let’s move back a bit,” Lu Yang suggested to the others, stepping back.

“Shouldn’t we stop them?” Li Haoran’s parents and Su Yiren were worried about the fight.

“They need to vent their anger. Let them fight it out,” Lu Yang said with a smile.

Su Yiren agreed, using her powers to fortify the new house to prevent damage.

Noticing Su Yiren’s actions, Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan unleashed their full power, fighting openly.

Li Haoran pulled a spear from his storage space, his finest crafted weapon. The spear scraped the ground, sending sparks flying.

Qin Yanyan, holding several talismans, cast one at Li Haoran: “Breaking Dawn Talisman!”

Li Haoran stepped forward, the spear slicing through the air, splitting the talisman in half before it could activate.

“Break!”

The spear moved like a dragon, its every motion exuding dominance. The speed of its swings broke the sound barrier, the spearhead stopping just three inches from Qin Yanyan.

Qin Yanyan’s pupils contracted. She couldn’t fully dodge this strike: “Diamond Talisman!”

She dodged to the right, the spear grazing her shoulder with a metallic clash.

Qin Yanyan bit her finger, using her blood to draw a talisman in the air. A giant hammer appeared above Li Haoran.

“Smash!”

Li Haoran raised his spear to block the hammer, but its force numbed his hands, causing him to drop the spear.

“Amazing talisman skills!” Lu Yang observed, initially thinking the talismans were provided by her family. But given her talent, she likely made them herself.

“Without your weapon, let’s see how you fight!” Qin Yanyan used a speed talisman, her body moving like lightning towards Li Haoran.

Li Haoran didn’t respond, swinging his fists instead. He wasn’t a weapon-dependent fighter; his strength lay in refining!

Qin Yanyan used three Diamond Talismans to block Li Haoran’s punch, but he refined the barrier on the spot, tearing it apart and kicking her away.

Qin Yanyan grabbed Li Haoran’s ankle, slamming him to the ground.

She used a strengthening talisman to temporarily enhance her body, ignoring the subsequent pain.

Li Haoran shifted his weight, using a kick to push her back.

Qin Yanyan, trained for close combat unlike typical talisman masters, engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight.

Suddenly, Li Haoran feinted and headbutted her, leaving her dazed on the ground.

“Did he strengthen his hair?!” Lu Yang was surprised. This scene resembled the move Meng Jingzhou used to win during the exchange with the Five Elements Sect.

Meng Jingzhou was even more shocked. Hair strengthening was an advanced technique from the third elder, with stringent conditions. Where did Li Haoran learn it?

Li Haoran noticed their reactions, smiled, and removed a wig.

Refining could strengthen hair; likewise, refining could make a wig.

“Senior Brother Meng’s victory inspired me. I’m not a body refiner, so I shaved my head and made a wig. It worked well today.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Meng Jingzhou: “…”

You’re really tough on yourself.

Seeing Li Haoran’s shameless wig, Qin Yanyan felt both angry and tearful, holding back her tears.

“You win. Marry my mom then. I won’t stop you! Do whatever you want! But I’ll never call you dad!”

Li Haoran: “!!!”

He barely enjoyed his victory before this bombshell left him stunned.

“Marry… her mom?”

Li Haoran turned to his parents and the blushing Su Yiren: “Mom, didn’t you say it was a betrothal from the womb?”

His mother averted her eyes: “Yes, Yiren pointed at my belly, saying she wanted to marry you.”

“Is that how betrothal from the womb works?!”

“Give me some sunflower seeds.” Lu Yang grabbed half of Meng Jingzhou’s sunflower seeds, and they both started munching like hamsters.

Lu Yang mused, “What’s the saying? Older women are more charming?”
