Chapter 309: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (57)

The Fire Lotus Sect, known for its freewheeling ways and labeled a demonic sect, had never committed heinous acts that defied moral principles. This time, they cooperated with the government purely for convenience. On the other hand, the government, typically indifferent to the affairs of the martial world, had to take on this troublesome task due to certain obscure reasons.

Though the Fire Lotus Sect took the initiative to connect with the government, it was clear that this favor would not be easily repaid. Nonetheless, they had no choice but to agree to the cooperation.

Shen Mubai’s return naturally delighted the disciples of the sect. However, when they heard another piece of news, they were all stunned.

The elders and hall masters were equally shocked. A wild girl who had been in the Fire Lotus Sect for only a few months had suddenly become the sect leader’s wife. Although her appearance was passable, there were plenty of such women in the world. They wondered if she had bewitched their leader.

Despite their dissatisfaction, none of them dared to utter a word. It was a joke to even consider complaining about this behind their leader’s back, let alone in front of him.

Shen Mubai, who had quickly gone from a cook to the sect leader’s wife, was also quite shocked.

On the day Jun Jiuling brought her back, he directly announced their marriage.

At that moment, not only the elders were taken aback, but Shen Mubai also wanted to resist.

However, just as she was about to say something, Jun Jiuling tightly grasped her hand, his narrow eyes staring straight at her, and said in an uncompromising tone, “Marry me.”

Shen Mubai opened her mouth, but before she could speak, he narrowed his eyes and said, “You have no choice but to agree. I saved you from prison; in life, you are my person, and in death, you will be my ghost.”

Shen Mubai thought, “… Even though you don’t want to admit it, it was Chunhua who rescued me.”

But knowing Jun Jiuling’s temperament, she silently kept her mouth shut.

The wedding was set for ten days later, and the entire sect was busy preparing for it.

Meanwhile, Shen Mubai sighed helplessly, “System, I’m about to get married. Don’t you have anything to say?”

The system replied, “Oh, happy wedding.”

Shen Mubai said, “If you keep this up, you’ll lose me sooner or later.”

The system responded, “If I don’t want to have you, how can I lose you?”

They bickered for a few minutes before the system finally said, “Just wait. The task progress will reach the top soon.”

Speaking of the task’s progress, Shen Mubai found it strange. Since it had suddenly jumped to ninety-seven percent, it hadn’t moved at all. Moreover, this task felt like a pie falling from the sky. She didn’t have to do anything; it just seemed to complete itself automatically.

As she pondered this, an old man with a white beard approached from a distance. Reluctantly, he said, “Madam.”

Shen Mubai recognized him as Elder Lin, the one who had initially looked at her with great disapproval.

Meeting on a narrow path, Shen Mubai coughed and said, “Elder Lin.”

Elder Lin asked, “What is the Madam doing here?”

Shen Mubai replied, “Just taking a walk, looking at the flowers, and adjusting my mood.”

Elder Lin, having seen the shock and reluctance on her face initially, was also very disapproving back then. But seeing his own sect master rejected made him even more unhappy. He said coldly, “I watched the sect master grow up. He has never liked anyone. If you betray him, I will make sure you understand the consequences of betraying our sect master.”
