Marriage!

Ye Tianchen made the right choice, making his family very happy, and of course, Ye Tianchen himself didn’t feel aggrieved either. Based on Liu Rumei’s talent and appearance, she was still worthy of Ye Tianchen.

Proposal!

These are two words that never appeared in Ye Tianchen’s mind and posed a challenge by Liu Rumei to Ye Tianchen, making him feel somewhat helpless!

Ye Tianchen could fully understand Liu Rumei’s request for a satisfactory proposal, and he absolutely didn’t think Liu Rumei was threatening him. For a woman who has quietly dedicated ten years to you without demanding anything for marriage, only wanting a satisfying proposal ceremony—is this request high? Not at all, such women are indeed rare in the world, especially in the Mortal World, now so dominated by women. Liu Rumei, being such a good woman, talented and beautiful, is truly a Qilin Horn!

Ye Tianchen walked into his villa and lay on the sofa. After turning on the TV, he stared blankly, forced to ponder how to give Liu Rumei a satisfying wedding ceremony?

From Ye Tianchen’s perspective, despite feeling somewhat strained, he was really clueless about the marriage stuff in the Mortal World. Moreover, the marriage decision was quite spur-of-the-moment for Ye Tianchen—he himself was totally unprepared. Now Liu Rumei wants a satisfying proposal ceremony; Ye Tianchen wants to provide it and wants Liu Rumei to be satisfied. After all, Liu Rumei has contributed immensely over the years and is indeed a good woman. Yet how to give her a satisfying proposal remains quite challenging for Ye Tianchen!

After watching TV for a long time, Ye Tianchen couldn’t come up with any good ideas. He looked around, finding no one to talk to or consult with, suddenly felt a movement in his mind, and a black shadow burst out from within, resulting in the Little Black Bear falling onto the ground.

"Wow, why did you suddenly pull me out? I wasn’t prepared, it hurts!" the Little Black Bear said displeasedly to Ye Tianchen.

"Not happy to come out? Then go back in!" Ye Tianchen said irritably.

"Hey, no, no, I’m tough-skinned, no problem, just let me come out for some fresh air. It’s too stifling in the Holy Heaven Prison!" the Little Black Bear quickly retorted.

"This time, I’m letting you out—it’s a chance for you to redeem yourself. Want it?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"Redeem myself? Why do I feel it’s a trap? Especially your innocent-looking smile—it actually feels quite sinister!" the Little Black Bear asked with scrutinizing eyes.

"Don’t want it? Then go back into the Holy Heaven Prison for decades, no, centuries!" Ye Tianchen sternly said to the Little Black Bear.

"No, no, how could I refuse such a chance? Besides, we’re friends, right? You have difficulties, I’m happy to help. I’m a loyal buddy!" the Little Black Bear quickly responded.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the Little Black Bear but didn’t pay much attention to this unreliable character and said, "I’m going to marry Liu Rumei..."

"What? You’re marrying that woman? This... can’t be, so soon? Pregnant before marriage? Marriage because of a child?" the Little Black Bear hadn’t even waited for Ye Tianchen to finish speaking before yelling.

Bam!

Ye Tianchen punched the Little Black Bear’s head hard and said fiercely, "If you interrupt before I finish, then roll back into the Holy Heaven Prison!"

"Oh dear, calm down, calm down, I was just surprised! You’ve only returned to the Mortal World for how long, and now you’re marrying Liu Rumei. What about your relationships in the Ancient Martial World?" the Little Black Bear asked.

Hearing the Little Black Bear’s words, Ye Tianchen paused. This Little Black Bear is basically an unreliable bear child, but what it said this time actually seemed reasonable. Ye Tianchen decided to marry in the Mortal World, wanting to be emotionally devoted. Since he chose Liu Rumei, Liu Rumei has made significant sacrifices, and he must be accountable to her. But what about the confidants in the Ancient Martial World? How will they react?

Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang... What are they doing now? Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ponder. The Martial Arts World is about to descend into chaos, and Earth will eventually be exposed to the Martial Arts World again. Initially, the three major Ancient Martial Worlds were already filled with turmoil and strife. While Ye Tianchen was absent, were his friends in the Ancient Martial World okay?

"Some things, I can’t control, just take it as it comes. I brought you out not to raise problems but to solve them. Liu Rumei wants a satisfying proposal ceremony; what should we do?" Ye Tianchen snapped back and asked the Little Black Bear.

"Proposal ceremony? You’re just too outdated! You can watch TV, search online, and learn from others!" the Little Black Bear mocked Ye Tianchen.

"Right, the Mortal World has developed quite well now. I can learn from others. Why didn’t I think of that!" Ye Tianchen suddenly realized.

"That’s because you don’t care about the Mortal World lifestyle. Look at me and Old Brother Knife—we love to learn!" the Little Black Bear said, eating an apple from the coffee table.

Ye Tianchen didn’t bother with this fellow and quickly found a computer. Although he wasn’t very versed in the device nor proficient, Ye Tianchen knew the basics. He opened it and began searching for proposal videos, which were indeed numerous and eccentric!

"This is nice..."

"Hmm, this is nice too..."

"Proposing on the Snow Mountain is good too!"

"A drone directly delivering the ring for the proposal is quite romantic."

"Singing for the proposal?"

"A whole plaza filled with pictures of the girl for the proposal?"

"On the big screen in the square are pictures of the two over the years..."

The more Ye Tianchen looked, the more satisfied he felt; each idea seemed fulfilling, and he continued watching eagerly. But suddenly, the computer screen blacked out, leaving Ye Tianchen stunned—he realized it was Little Black Bear who unplugged the power, making him furious and tempted to send Little Black Bear back into the Holy Heaven Prison.

"What’s wrong with you? Want to stay in the Holy Heaven Prison for five hundred years?" Ye Tianchen asked furiously.

"I was being kind, you’ve wronged me this time!" Little Black Bear said, frustrated.

"Kind? I wronged you? I was engrossed in watching, and you unplugged the power, courting trouble?" Ye Tianchen said irritably.

Little Black Bear shook his head, tossed the power cable aside, and sighed, "Like this, you’ll never give Liu Rumei a satisfying proposal ceremony. This won’t work!"

"Why?" Ye Tianchen asked, puzzled.

"Ugh, despite your high cultivation and great insight, you’re quite ignorant about matters between men and women!" Little Black Bear mocked.

"If you have something to say, say it fast, I don’t have time for nonsense!" Ye Tianchen said impatiently.

"You realize you’re short on time too. I believe once you announce your wedding plans, your parents will be thrilled and start arranging everything. I bet in a few days everything will be finalized. But you haven’t proposed to Liu Rumei yet or satisfied her, which is dangerous. Liu Rumei has a temper too; if you don’t satisfy her request, she won’t agree. So now you must give Liu Rumei a satisfying proposal ceremony—there’s no other choice!" Little Black Bear said earnestly.

"You’re not making sense? I’m learning right now! Why did you unplug the power?" Ye Tianchen tightly clenched his fist and prepared to punch Little Black Bear.

Little Black Bear quickly retreated and promptly said, "The proposal ceremonies you see are outdated methods others have used. Plus, Liu Rumei surely has seen them; these are widely circulated online, not exclusive to you. If you just imitate, it won’t succeed!"

"According to you, nothing works, so nothing can work?" Ye Tianchen asked, exasperated.

"Well, I feel for a woman wanting a satisfying proposal ceremony, you must consider her identity and personality. Some women are moved to tears and immediately succeed when you kneel and offer a ring. But others would scorn you for it. So we must analyze Liu Rumei’s status and character!" Little Black Bear explained like an emotional expert.

Ye Tianchen frowned slightly; this bear child seemed to have a point. To give Liu Rumei a satisfactory proposal ceremony, certain considerations must be made. Speaking of Liu Rumei, since childhood she’s been showered with numerous accolades and is the most beautiful woman in the Capital City, cherished everywhere. Although Liu Rumei isn’t a proud vase, her beauty and status imply certain things she cares about—or even if she doesn’t, her family will.

Hence, Ye Tianchen’s proposal ceremony is quite difficult; satisfying Liu Rumei won’t be easy...(to be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com—your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
