Chapter 287: Chapter 280 The Three Matchmakers and Six Proposals_1

With his current wealth and strength, marrying a wife posed no real pressure

on him.

However, as he wholeheartedly pursued immortality, taking a wife now could potentially introduce some distractions to his cultivation.

After all, he was a man of flesh and blood, and marrying a beautiful wife was bound to lead to a harmonious marital relationship.

Many books mention that the allure of women can easily corrupt one’s dao

heart.

If his wife were to get pregnant and bear one or two children, that would be even more troublesome.

He could understand Wang Furen’s concerns. In these turbulent times, with his daughter Wang Wanyan being so beautiful, it would be more secure for her to marry earlier.

However, if Qin Niu wasn’t powerful enough, even marrying him might not ensure her safety.

If a strong man coveted her beauty, he would have the power to take her by force.

Such incidents were too numerous throughout history.

Powerful figures lusting after some beautiful married woman, and then using their influence and power to coerce, intimidate, or seduce her, leading to her family’s ruin, were plentiful.

Beautiful women, money, and power were generally considered the three resources fought over most fiercely.

These three resources were also something men couldn’t resist.

Even if Qin Niu were to marry Wang Wanyan, if he wasn’t powerful enough, it was very likely he would be framing himself for disaster.

But he and Wang Wanyan were childhood sweethearts and their affection for each other was mutual, so he wouldn’t have too many worries.

If he couldn’t even protect the one he cared about, what was the point of cultivation and seeking immortality?

After reaching a verbal agreement with Wang Furen, Qin Niu made a detour to Auntie Hua’s house.

The door was closed tightly, but movements could be heard inside.

Upon hearing that the army of the Nine Insect Gang was coming and seeing Qin Niu flee, the villagers were prepared to escape. They all closed their doors tightly, watching and waiting.

Qin Niu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Immediately, the house fell silent.

Auntie Hua’s family was probably scared out of their wits.

“Auntie Hua, it’s me, Qin Niu!”

Qin Niu shouted, raising his voice.

“Oh, it’s Master Qin! You’ve scared us to death! Master Qin, please come in and have a seat!”

Upon hearing it was Qin Niu, Auntie Hua hurriedly opened the door.

“No need to sit, I just came to tell you some good news. The forces of the Nine Insect Gang have been defeated by Deputy City Lord Bai; the dead have died, and the rest have fled. You don’t have to worry about the army of the Nine Insect Gang invading the village anymore.”

Qin Niu glanced at Auntie Hua’s family.

Packed up in big and small bags, ready to flee at a moment’s notice.

“Oh, that’s such great news! Thank heavens!” Auntie Hua said, patting her still plump chest and smiling joyfully. “Thank you for coming to tell us this good news, Master Qin. Come in for some tea! Xiao Qing, you come too.”

She enthusiastically invited them both.

“I’ll visit another time! I have another matter I’d like to ask you. I’d like you to go to Wang Furen’s house to propose a match. I want to marry Wang Wanyan as my principal wife. You decide on what bridal gifts are required; you can handle all the preparations. I won’t let your hard work go unpaid.”

Qin Niu, busy with cultivation and rearing insects, naturally needed to delegate such trivial matters to someone else.

“Oh, hahaha, done, done, done! This is a momentous occasion. Rest assured, Master Qin, I’ve got this. 1’11 make sure everything is done beautifully,” Auntie Hua responded, all smiles upon hearing business was coming her way.
