Chapter 63: Secret Competition
The mother and son walked out of the main hall one after the other, and after leaving the Yaochi Palace, the Lord Ci Yi turned around and dragged his son to him, scolding: "You worthless guy! Do you know who you are?! Your father is the ancient fire god, one of the only three remaining ancient gods! Not a newly promoted water god like Yanling! Your mother is the head of the Phoenix clan! king!"

Lu Li thought that what his mother said was that he disliked Wu Yue's mortal background, so he poked his neck and said, "Status can't represent everything. Those noble goddesses are nothing good, how can they compare to Wu Yue..."

"Idiot!" Ci Yi scolded without showing any air. "What I'm saying is! With such a background, you can't even catch up with a little fairy who ascended from the lower realm! You are really shameful! You have completely lost the face of me and your father!"

"Oh, that's it..." Lu Li pouted and said. "Didn't Jing Yuan also catch up?"

Mentioning Jing Yuan who was "not even a friend", the anger in Shangshen Ci Yi's heart suddenly disappeared halfway, and his son had at least entered the circle of friends.

She nodded knowingly: "That's true. If you can marry that Wuyue home, wouldn't you be able to step on that Jingyuan's head for the rest of your life, showing off your might?"

Lu Li was speechless for a while, then said, "You are right."

"Then go quickly!"

Lu Li opened his eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go find a way to marry Shangxian Wuyue to me!"

"...But she doesn't like me. You heard me just now, she rejected me."

"If you refuse, you just give up? Where is your thick skin that is thicker than the city wall?" Ci Yi Shangshen complained rudely to his son. "A good girl is afraid that she won't understand, don't you understand? Keep close at ordinary times! Talk more sweetly! Also, give more gifts to please others. If you need anything, just ask me!"

"Ah...Okay." Anyway, he was just trying to delay time, as long as he wasn't forced to get married now, he agreed first.

Seeing his son's nonchalant appearance, Ci Yi Shangshen couldn't get angry, patted his son on the back vigorously, and warned: "Be more careful! I'll give you a year, if you can't catch up Come on, your father and I won't recognize you as a son!"

"..." Lu Li was speechless. "No way, if you can't catch up, don't hug your grandson anymore?"

The God of Ci Yi gave him a "bah" sound: "Your father and I would rather have another son and be raised as a grandson than recognize you, a useless and unworthy son!"

Lu Li: ...

When Wu Yue returned to Yuehua Palace, Yanling heard the news and rushed to watch the fun, looking very excited.

"I heard that the Heavenly Emperor Tianhou wanted Jing Yuan to marry the Goddess of Yaoshan Mountain, but Jing Yuan insisted on marrying you. The Tianhou wanted to marry you to Lu Li to bring disaster to the east. After the Lord Ciyi knew about it, she hurriedly returned from the God Realm. Come over to stop it. So, a big show was staged in Yaochi Palace!"

Wu Yue poured him a cup of tea with the pot, and complained: "Where did you hear these unreliable rumors?"

"Isn't that so?" Yanling laughed. "Then tell me the truth."

"The truth is, Lord Lu Daxing used me as a shield in order to avoid his parents' forced marriage..."

Just in the middle of the conversation, Lu Li rushed in from the outside in a hurry.

Shouted "Wuyue", then saw that Yanling was also there, said "Why are you here too", and automatically went to the teahouse to sit.He turned over a cup by himself, put it in Wu Yue's hand, and waited for her to serve him a cup.

Yanling said: "You are all here at such a lively event, but you don't call me, are you still friends?"

"What a buzz!" Lu Li said. "You don't know the pain of being forced into marriage. Thanks to Wu Yue this time, otherwise, I can only die to show my ambition."

Yanling said: "It's all about getting married, it's not necessary to live or die, right?"

Lu Li stared at him: "Stop making sarcastic remarks! Believe it or not, I told Princess Jinghua that you actually like her too, but for some reason, it's inconvenient to reveal it. Let her go to the Emperor of Heaven to marry you two directly!"

Wu Yue smiled and said: "Good way. I support you."

"That's a good way! I'll go right away!" Lu Li made a gesture to stand up and was about to go out.

Yanling held him helplessly, pulled him back, and pushed him back to the seat.

"Just save yourself." Yanling said. "Okay, let's not hurt each other. Tell me, how is it now?"

Lu Li said: "The crisis has been resolved. But my mother now asks me to marry Wu Yue back home within a year. Otherwise, I will not recognize my son."

Yanling smiled and said: "It seems that the God of Ci Yi is very satisfied with Wu Yue!"

Wu Yue frowned: "Looking at the situation at that time, it didn't look like it."

Lu Li said: "Because you rejected Jing Yuan! If I married you, wouldn't it appear that I am better than Jing Yuan! My mother and Tianhou are sisters of the same clan, you know, the kind of secret rivalry between sisters! "

"Oh, so." Yanling suddenly realized and nodded knowingly. "What are you going to do after that year? Say you've moved on?"

Lu Li drank the tea in his cup: "After one year, the relationship between mother and child will be severed! I'm free! I won't have such troubles anymore!"

Yanling laughed "haha": "That's right!"

Wu Yue couldn't help laughing either.

"By the way, Tianhou's birthday is coming soon, have you prepared all the congratulatory gifts?" Lu Li asked.

"How can I forget this?" Yanling said. "Who doesn't know that Empress Tianhou attaches the most importance to these things. She won't miss any of the centennial or millennium birthdays! I have prepared a set of five element rough stones, and I plan to give one at a time, five times."

Lu Li said with disgust, "Don't you feel embarrassed every time you send a broken stone?"

"You don't understand this, do you?" Yanling said. "Gift-giving is not about what gift is given, but who is giving the gift?"

"What do you mean?"

Yanling said: "The meaning of this sentence is quite profound. In short, if Tianhou hates me, then no matter what I give, she will still hate me."

Lu Li comprehended the meaning of these words, and felt that he probably understood, so he nodded and asked Wu Yue: "Wu Yue, what have you prepared?"

Wu Yue said: "Eastern Sea Night Pearl."

Lu Li complained: "You are even more insincere, right? Donghai Yemingzhu, in Yaochi Palace, can be thrown like a stone, right?"

Wu Yue said: "It's the same as what Yanling said earlier."

"Then I'll give it away as well."

Yanling chuckled: "You planned to give it away casually from the beginning, and after asking around, you just want us to give you some confidence, right?"

"No, no, how could it be?" Lu Li repeatedly denied.

"Shangxian." Lord Yuzhenyuan called softly outside the hall. "His Royal Highness Jing Yuan is here."

"Why did he come here?" Lu Li muttered.

Wu Yue said: "Please wait for a while at the waterside pavilion, I will be there soon."

"Yes."
