The Water Palace was an ancient castle that occupied an extremely large area. It was like a gigantic monster and was quite spectacular. It was made from sparkling and translucent jade, and every part of it emitted a sparkling and translucent light. The jade walls were carved with dragons and phoenixes, making it seem incomparably noble. In front of the main hall, there were two living Qilin Lions guarding it, causing people to be intimidated just by looking at them!
After spending half a day with Mu Xiangya, Yao Yue decided to come here to meet her father, Hall King Mu.
Hall King Mu was an extremely noble figure on the Earthly Star. It was a great honor to meet him.
However, Yao Yue did not think so. Facing such a famous and powerful future father-in-law made him feel somewhat uneasy.
"Don't be afraid. With me here, my father won't dare to do anything to you," Mu Xiangya said while holding Yao Yue's hand tightly.
Yao Yue smiled and said, "Okay, then you can protect me."
"You're so annoying. Aren't you always very brave?" Mu Xiangya retorted.
Her expression was so flirtatious that it made people feel intoxicated!
Yao Yue could not help but sigh inwardly, Xiangya is so charming. No wonder I can't help but fall in love with her.
At this time, Yao Yue and Mu Xiangya had already arrived at the center of the palace.
The palace was dazzling and resplendent, shrouded in divine light and auspicious energy. It looked extremely noble and extraordinary.
There were four jade thrones at the front, and two of them had two extremely dignified middle-aged men sitting on them. Their bearings were like the heavens, and they had dignified expressions that were capable of causing ordinary people to kowtow and worship them!
These two were Hall King Mu and Hall King Bing.
Their gazes fell on Yao Yue, causing Yao Yue to feel uneasy, as if all of his secrets had been seen through.
"This is my father, and this is my fourth uncle.
He is my man, Yao Yue! "Mu Xiangya straightforwardly introduced.
She really showed a straightforward and heroic demeanor, which was not something an ordinary woman could possess!
"Junior Yao Yue greets the two seniors." Yao Yue bowed to Palace King Mu and Palace King Bing.
"Brat, do you know who we are?
Why didn't you kneel when you saw us? "Palace Lord Ice shouted first.
Just as he finished speaking, a strange force was applied to Yao Yue's body!
Yao Yue immediately felt as if there was a huge boulder pressing down on his back, causing his body to bend down and his knees to almost touch the ground!
"Fourth Uncle, you …" Mu Xiangya immediately showed a dissatisfied expression.
"Xiang Ya, don't worry. Your Fourth Uncle is just testing this kid!
Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for him. "Palace Hall King Mu transmitted his voice to Mu Xiangya.
Mu Xiangya opened her mouth, but no words came out!
She understood her Fourth Uncle's character. He cared for her very much. As an elder, it was only right for him to test her man!
However, she was still somewhat dissatisfied. So many tests have already been done, yet it's still not enough!
Before Yao Yue knelt on the ground, he used all his strength to slowly straighten his body. His eyes were filled with determination as he said, "I, Yao Yue, kneel to the heavens, kneel to the earth, kneel to my parents, but I won't kneel to others so easily!
Unless you acknowledge my relationship with Xiang Ya and allow me to call you my father-in-law and Fourth Uncle, I, Yao Yue, will kneel to you!
However, before you acknowledge my relationship with you, I, Yao Yue, will never kneel! "
Yao Yue's words were sonorous and forceful, revealing a high fighting spirit, displaying his extraordinary willpower!
"Hmph, we are the Palace Lords of Water Palace. Everyone in the Earthly Star knows about us!
Even gods have to kneel to us. Aren't you afraid that we'll kill you? "Palace Lord Ice snorted coldly.
Palace Lord Ice's aura intensified, causing Yao Yue, who was about to straighten up, to bend his body again!
Palace Lord Ice did it on purpose. Every time he increased his strength, he knew when to stop. He didn't want to force Yao Yue to kneel. He wanted to see if Yao Yue could withstand it!
After all, his current aura was enough to make any Great Sage kneel before him!
Yao Yue gritted his teeth and stood firm. His face was already covered in sweat!
His demon core and primary sea erupted at the same time, pushing his battle prowess to the peak of the Great Sage level. He slowly stood up straight and said with difficulty, "I, I don't care who you are. I will never kneel to you!
Even if you kill me, I won't kneel! "
A man's knees were gold!
Yao Yue had never kneeled to anyone before, not even in front of Palace Lord Ice, who could easily kill him!
"Do you think you can't do it without kneeling?" Palace Lord Ice sneered. His aura intensified again!
Yao Yue's body almost fell to the ground. At this critical moment, the Divine Phoenix Halberd appeared in his hand and he stabbed it into the ground, allowing him to continue standing!
However, Palace Lord Ice's strength was too terrifying. Even with Yao Yue's Divine Phoenix Halberd, it was still not enough!
* Pa pa! *
Yao Yue felt that his bones were about to be crushed by the aura. His hand that was holding the Divine Phoenix Halberd was bleeding from the friction!
Yao Yue felt that he was about to reach his limit. If this continued, even if he didn't kneel, his body would explode from the pressure!
"Ah!
I can't kneel! "
Yao Yue's eyes turned red with anger. With a loud roar, the Nine Star Battle Rune appeared on his forehead. In an instant, the Demon Core and Primal Sea's various world essence energies were completely activated, causing his battle prowess to soar once again!
At the same time, he slowly straightened his body again. Like a steel spear, he was indomitable!
"Nine Star Battle Rune!" Palace Lord Mu and Palace Lord Ice exclaimed at the same time.
Mu Xiangya couldn't stand it anymore. She shouted, "Fourth Uncle, that's enough! If you continue to bully him, I won't let you off!"
"Hehe, Fourth Uncle was just joking!" Palace Lord Ice recovered from his shock and laughed. He then looked at Yao Yue and praised, "Kid, you're not bad!
No wonder Xiangya likes you so much! "
"Yes, very good. From now on, you're my son-in-law!" Palace Lord Mu said, deciding on the marriage between Yao Yue and Mu Xiangya.
The pressure on Yao Yue's body completely disappeared, and he could finally heave a sigh of relief. His hard work had finally paid off!
"Thank you, seniors!" Yao Yue said as he put away the Divine Phoenix Halberd.
"Kid, you should call me Fourth Uncle instead of Father-in-law!
We agree to the marriage between you and Xiangya! "Palace Lord Ice emphasized.
Mu Xiangya blushed and said, "Fourth Uncle, you're so annoying! I haven't even gotten married yet!"
"A man of the martial world doesn't need to care about such things!" Palace Lord Mu wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
The two of them had already spoken to this extent. If Yao Yue still did not know what was good for him, then he would be a fool!
This time, Yao Yue knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Palace Lord Mu and Palace Lord Ice, "Yao Yue greets Father-in-law and Fourth Uncle!"
"Haha, I told you to kneel just now, but you still have to kowtow to me!" Palace Lord Ice said proudly.
"Xiangya, kneel as well!
Your mother is no longer here, so your fourth uncle and I will help you with your wedding! "Palace Lord Mu said seriously.
Mu Xiangya was dumbfounded!
Wasn't this too fast and too simple?
Even so, Mu Xiangya still knelt and kowtowed respectfully to her father and fourth uncle.
Just like that, Yao Yue and Mu Xiangya became husband and wife in front of the two Palace Lords.
This was simply the simplest of flash marriages!
"Alright, Xiangya, you can leave now. We have some matters to discuss with our son-in-law. You don't have to worry about us making things difficult for him, right?" Palace Lord Mu said.
"You said it yourself! You can't make things difficult for him, or I won't let you off!" Mu Xiangya said after some hesitation.
She glanced at Yao Yue and left the hall.
After Mu Xiangya left, Palace Lord Mu asked Yao Yue, "Yao Yue, do you cultivate the Divine Nine Sovereigns Technique?"
When Yao Yue heard Hall King Mu's question, he knew that Hall King Mu had seen through the Nine Star Battle Rune!
Thus, he could only answer honestly, "Yes, sir!"
Palace Lord Mu and Palace Lord Ice's expression froze. Palace Lord Mu continued, "Not bad. You are very honest. We won't ask you how you obtained the Divine Nine Sovereigns Technique. You only need to know that we will help you become stronger from now on. This is a mission you must complete in the future."
"Father-in-law, are you talking about reviving Kyusei Shinzō?" Yao Yue asked.
"It seems that you know something. Let me ask you, how did you escape from Aoi Kiki?
Is Mu Qingyi dead now? "Hall King Mu was surprised and asked another question.
And so, Yao Yue told Palace Lord Mu that Ming Hung Bao had saved him.
Palace Lord Mu suspected that the Water Palace was a branch of Kyusei Shinzō. He couldn't help but sigh in amazement at how terrifying the power passed down by Kyusei Shinzō was.
"So it was Bao Shu who saved you. No wonder you were able to escape so easily," Palace Lord Mu said in realization.
"Bao Shu has always been elusive. Since he knows about Yao Yue's situation, he should be protecting Yao Yue with all his might. Where is he now?" Palace Lord Ice asked.
From their conversation, Yao Yue learned that they were acquainted with Ming Hung Bao.
Yao Yue also told Palace Lord Mu and Palace Lord Mu that Ming Hung Bao had sent Ming Zimo to protect him. However, Ming Zimo did not bring her along.
"It seems that there is hope for our Divine Sect's revival," Palace Lord Mu sighed.
"That's hard to say. Vulcan and Kagami No are traitors that can be dealt with so easily," Palace Lord Ice said.
"Yes. That's why we must do our best to help Yao Yue become stronger. When he reaches his peak, no one will be able to stop him from unifying Divine Sect," Palace Lord Mu said firmly.
"Alright. Let's wait for big brother and second brother to come back and tell them about this. I'm sure they will agree with us," Palace Lord Ice replied.
"Let's talk about this later. Let's send someone to welcome Yao Yue. From now on, he will be a member of our Water Palace," Palace Lord Mu said happily.
Indeed, their Water Palace was one of Kyusei Shinzō's branch forces.
