After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 169 Why Not Double Happiness?

Chapter 169: Why Not Double Happiness

"Everything is settled, and I finally don't have to worry anymore."

Zhang Chi was very satisfied with the current situation at Little Warehouse Mountain. These days, Zhang Chi didn't really work hard. Building his own base was a responsible measure for his own safety.

"Now, all that's left is to make money."

"Which place should we rob?"

The great thief Gu Youyou was ready to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, she wasn't present, otherwise Zhang Chi would have knocked her around a bit.

"Don't always think about doing illegal activities. Even if we steal this money, it will be troublesome. It's not something that can be shown in the light. If we want to rob, we have to do it openly and honestly."

"Heh, having a backer really changes some people."

Gu Youyou's tone carried a hint of sourness.

She could feel that Zhang Chi didn't need her as much anymore.

Besides being a last resort for self-preservation, all she could do was draw talismans.

That's why Gu Youyou wanted to prove herself.

Someone like Long Yan, she could take on ten of them!

It's just not convenient to act now.

"My backer is not Long Yan, but my Dao companion, Gu Youyou Fellow Daoist."

"Hmph!"

Gu Youyou's mood became slightly more pleasant, but Zhang Chi spoke again, "Speaking of which, I should almost marry Tang Ruoling."

"Oh? Why did you suddenly think of her? I thought you forgot about her."

"How could I? Tang Ruoling is a good girl, although she's a half-demon with a bit of vigilance, she's a Water Monster, which tastes pretty good."

Moreover, the relationship between Zhang Chi and Tang Ruoling was almost known by everyone in the Sword Sect. If Zhang Chi kept dragging this matter, it might give some people bad ideas.

So, when it's time to take responsibility, he must take it.

"There's no need to rush other matters, but the matter of marriage should be done sooner rather than later."

Zhang Chi then left and went to Long Yan's residence. Coincidentally, Long Yan had finished her day's lessons and was practicing the Great River Sword Art.

Only when her swordsmanship was good could she teach others.

Not to mention, Long Yan was also a martial arts prodigy. In just half a month, she had mastered the Great River Sword Scripture.

Sensing Zhang Chi's arrival, Long Yan stopped her practice and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you and also have something I want to ask for your help with."

"Go ahead."

The interaction between Long Yan and Zhang Chi was like that of good buddies.

Although there was an age and strength difference, they both felt close to each other.

So their conversations were straightforward and direct.

"I want to ask you to help me propose to Tang Ruoling."

"Uh..."

Long Yan originally thought it was something else, but she didn't expect it to be...

"You're still so young, why are you in such a hurry to settle down?"

"We had an agreement with the Tang family from the beginning, and we already have a marital relationship. I've been busy before and couldn't fulfill the agreement. Now that everyone has settled down, it's a good time to bring some joy to Little Warehouse Mountain."

Long Yan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Since you've said so, I'll go on your behalf! What do you plan to use as the betrothal gift?"

"I'll use the sword in my hand! This sword is called Chengzong. It's the sword I forged after I vowed to revitalize the Sword Sect. This sword contains my intentions, and I think Tang Ruoling will like it."

"This..."

Long Yan was a bit speechless. "Using a sword as a betrothal gift is a bit too shabby."

Zhang Chi felt a bit embarrassed. "I don't have a monthly salary, and the money I earn is used to cover the deficit. I'm really short on funds."

Upon hearing this, Long Yan also felt a bit embarrassed.

She knew that Zhang Chi was poor, so she decided to help with the betrothal gift.

"I'll cover the betrothal gift for you!"

"How can this be?"

"Aren't I your older sister? Since you called me sister, of course I can't ignore your matters."

Seeing Zhang Chi still trying to decline, Long Yan pretended to be displeased and said, "You're hesitating over such a small matter. Are you saying you don't recognize me as your sister anymore?"

"How could that be? I'll listen to you then!"

Gu Youyou couldn't help but complain.

"You're really good at making other women pay for your marriage. Impressive!"

"I'm really poor. Look at the money in my pocket. Which one of them can see the light?"

Zhang Chi was also helpless. He couldn't bring himself to spend the money in his pocket.

The unclean spirit stones couldn't be used yet. It would cause trouble if he used them.

Gu Youyou: "..."

You really know how to mooch off others shamelessly.

But being able to make Long Yan willingly spend money for him is also Zhang Chi's skill.

In this way, Long Yan, with some betrothal gifts she personally prepared, went to propose marriage to Tang Feng in the identity of the Sword Sect's elder.

Although Tang Feng was not happy about it, Long Yan didn't have much of an objection to the half-demon Tang Ruoling.

The two had spent some time together before and had a good relationship.

When Tang Ruoling heard that Zhang Chi had entrusted Long Yan to propose marriage, she was also somewhat surprised because she was already Zhang Chi's demon servant.

Zhang Chi could do whatever he wanted to her, and their positions were inherently unequal.

She thought that Zhang Chi didn't plan to marry her, but now he actually proposed.

The wedding between cultivators is relatively simple. There are extravagant and simple methods.

Now that the Sword Sect is in a state of disrepair, it is naturally not suitable for extravagance.

They settled on a simple process, not inviting outsiders, only gathering the people from Little Warehouse Mountain.

News of Zhang Chi wanting to marry Tang Ruoling spread, and the girls in the Sword Sect were heartbroken.

Especially Chen Runyu, she thought that she and Zhang Chi had gone through life and death together in the secret realm, and they had a deep affection for each other. She thought Zhang Chi should also like her.

But now, Zhang Chi is going to marry Tang Ruoling.

She also knew that Tang Ruoling was going to be married, as she had already agreed before.

But why was she left out?

Since it's a happy occasion, why can't it be a double happiness?

Chen Runyu became depressed and went to the back mountain alone, looking at the vast sky, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.

At this moment, Cai Yu flew over.

"Are you here to comfort me?"

Chen Runyu was quite familiar with Cai Yu, although Cai Yu would also tease people, she still considered it a friend.

However...

"Hmph, Chen Runyu, what can you do to compete with me? If you want x, there's no x. If you want xx, there's no xx."

Upon hearing this, Chen Runyu looked down and her face turned red with anger.

She knew that Cai Yu was imitating Tang Ruoling's way of speaking.

Cai Yu had good hearing, and the entire Little Warehouse Mountain was within its eavesdropping range.

Ever since it discovered the fun of exposing secrets for the first time, it had been doing it frequently.

Sowing discord, my esteemed Cai Yu really loves doing that.

"Xiaoyu, don't be too sad. I think Zhang Chi still likes you."

After imitating, Cai Yu felt that the hostility was too strong, so as a lowly bird, it rarely appeared timid.

"Of course Senior Brother likes me. He just doesn't want me to be gossiped about."

Chen Runyu found an explanation for Zhang Chi.

It must be like this. He has a prior engagement with Tang Ruoling, so if she comes, she would be a third party.

Although she didn't mind, Zhang Chi might consider her.

"Senior Brother, I don't care about these things. And Tang Ruoling! Don't think you've already won!"
