The attitude of the Meng family changed suddenly, and they strongly opposed Zhang Liangsheng's association with Meng Yiming. For this reason, Meng Yiming's freedom was sometimes restricted, and she was confined to her home and not allowed to go out.
Zhang Liangsheng and Meng Yiming could only secretly seek opportunities to meet in private. Meng's family came to Zhang Liangsheng several times and warned him to stay away from Meng Yiming, lest he want to eat swan meat.
Meng Yiming has mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, extremely poor aptitude, and is currently at the second level of Qi training. Although her cultivation level is extremely low, as a female cultivator and quite beautiful, she is still very popular.
Immortal cultivating families near Pinghu County all came to propose marriage. Because they are both cultivators, the children they give birth to will have a high chance of having spiritual roots, which can strengthen the family bloodline. The Meng family also reported that it was a good place to live, and they were somewhat indifferent to the small families in the surrounding area who came to propose marriage. They were not very fond of them, let alone the current situation of the Zhang Liangsheng family.
Not long ago, the He family in Gaoyang City sent someone to propose marriage, hoping that Meng Yiming would marry the sixth young master of the He family. Meng Chao, the head of the Meng family, was overjoyed. He agreed to the marriage on the spot and accepted a thousand spiritual stones as a meeting gift.
The He family is the largest cultivator family in Gaoyang City. There are many cultivators in the family, and there are even foundation-building masters in charge. The family is powerful and prosperous. How could Meng Chao refuse to agree to such a marriage, and said that he would choose a good time and auspicious time to get married as soon as possible.
After Meng Yiming learned the news, she expressed her disapproval of the marriage and made a fuss in the Meng Mansion. Meng Chao was very angry at his silly daughter, who ignored such a good marriage and insisted on marrying that brat Zhang Liangsheng.
Meng Chao patiently persuaded her with good words, telling her about the advantages of marrying into the He family, and praised the sixth young master of the He family, Yushu Linfeng, for his excellent cultivation aptitude, and as a disciple of the Huang Sheng Sect, his future was limitless. But Meng Yiming didn't listen at all, saying that she only loved Zhang Liangsheng and would not marry anyone, and even forced her to death.
The eldest son of the Meng family, Meng Shengming, saw that his sister was so strong-willed, so he held back his furious father and told him not to push too hard. He already had a plan in mind, glanced at Meng Yiming with sharp eyes, and whispered his thoughts to his father in a low voice.
After the two discussed it, the father and son looked at each other. Meng Chao walked to his daughter who was kneeling and crying, and said gently: "Xiao Yi, my father is also good for you! You should also listen to the power of the He family in Gaoyang City. I said it. I won’t treat you badly when I marry you.”
"Yes! Xiaoyi, your father is also doing it for your own good!" Mother Meng was also advising from the side.
Seeing that Meng Yiming did not respond and was still kneeling with his head lowered in tears, Meng Chao continued: "If you really love the Zhang family boy, as a father, give him a chance. As long as he can come up with two things before the He family comes to formally propose marriage. For a thousand spiritual stones, I will promise you and him."
"Master, you..." Meng's mother was anxious, but before she could finish speaking, Meng Chao waved his hand to signal her not to say anything.
"Dad, you also know what happened to Brother Zhang's family. Uncle Zhang has been missing for many years. How did Brother Zhang get two thousand spiritual stones?" Meng Yiming said hurriedly.
"Hmph! The boy from the Zhang family can't even get two thousand spiritual stones. How can I safely marry you to him? Speaking of these two thousand spiritual stones, my father didn't ask for them intentionally. The He family has already accepted them. If you regret the meeting gift without any reason, the He family will definitely not give up. These two thousand spiritual stones are used to give the He family an apology."
"Dad, can you have less? Two thousand spiritual stones are too many. Brother Zhang really can't get them out." Meng Yiming begged.
"Stop talking about it. My father has given me the opportunity. Whether he can do it or not is up to the Zhang family." Meng Chao fluttered his sleeves and walked out the door.
"Daddy!" Meng Yiming still begged.
"Little sister, you also need to understand your father's difficulties. The He family may not appreciate the apology of two thousand spiritual stones. It's really not much. If the He family deliberately creates difficulties and refuses to give up, the whole family will suffer. "Meng Shengming helped Meng Yiming up and said softly.
"Since father has agreed, little sister, the top priority is that you should inform Brother Liangsheng as soon as possible and find a way to collect two thousand spiritual stones as soon as possible." Meng Shengming reminded.
"Yes, yes, brother, I'm going to find Brother Zhang right now." Meng Yiming wiped away her tears and went out with red eyes.
"Son, if the boy from the Zhang family takes out two thousand spiritual stones, will Xiaoyi really marry him?" Mother Meng asked uneasily.
"Don't worry, mother." Meng Shengming said with a slight curl of the corners of her mouth.
Meng Yiming hurriedly came to Zhang Liangsheng and told the news. Zhang Liangsheng was happy at first, and then panicked. Fortunately, Uncle Meng, who had been opposed to their interactions, finally relented and agreed to help them. It was a panic, he knew the situation at home very well, and he really couldn't get these two thousand spiritual stones.
Zhang Liangsheng first stabilized Meng Yiming and reassured her that he would soon be able to gather the spiritual stones and formally propose marriage to her father. The innocent Meng Yiming quickly turned from worry to happiness, looking forward to the beautiful days in the future. The two chatted intimately for a while, and Meng Yiming happily returned to his house.
Zhang Liangsheng returned to the room with a sad face, thinking in his mind. After his father disappeared, no spiritual stones were recorded at home. Zhang Liangsheng used most of the spiritual stones his father left behind for his daily practice, leaving more than 500 pieces left.
He has a first-grade intermediate magic weapon, a plain water sword, and a first-grade intermediate storage bag. These two items are worth a thousand spiritual stones if sold. But even so, there is still about five hundred spiritual stones missing. This made Zhang Liangsheng so worried that he racked his brains and couldn't figure out where to get 500 spiritual stones.
Ai Yuanmu's letter gave Zhang Liangsheng hope, and he couldn't help but jump up with excitement. The flesh, blood, and fur of a forest wolf, if sold in the market, would be worth a thousand spiritual stones, and the betrothal gift proposed by the Meng family could be collected.
Zhang Liangsheng rushed to Daniu Village overnight, and after meeting Ai Yuanmu, the two talked in detail for half the night. They believed that the forest wolf's cultivation level was roughly equivalent to the sixth level of Qi training. The two of them worked together, and Zhang Liangsheng's hand The plain water sword on the sword should be able to take down this forest wolf.
Early the next morning, the two of them left the village and entered Daniu Mountain in the name of hunting giant wolves. At this time, Ai Yuanmu's injury was only seven to eight points better, but in order to rush for time, he couldn't take care of that much.
This is the habit of forest wolves. They will not stay in one forest for too long and wander around in the mountains and fields. The two of them were afraid that the forest wolf had already left Daniu Mountain, but their efforts to retrieve water from bamboo baskets would be in vain.
Relying on Ai Yuanmu's memory of that night, the two of them searched carefully in the direction in which the Timberwolves were heading. Along the way, we found some harvests, including several hard wolf hairs and a pungent wolf dung. Looking at the wolf dung in Natuo, the two of them were shocked and found that they were heading in the right direction.
When the two climbed over a slope, they were surprised to find a huge forest wolf lying next to a small pool in the distance. The fur is black and shiny, the body is tall, and visually it is about the size of two cows. The wolf has a huge head and a huge mouth. It is extremely ferocious and makes people very scared.
