This woman's face was charming and captivating, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn waters, and her glances seemed to enthrall.

At this moment, her cherry-like lips parted slightly, always carrying a faint, elusive smile that felt like a warm spring breeze.

Her flowing hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, gently swaying as she moved, as soft as silk.

It was the first time Shen Wang had seen such an ethereal woman in the Demon Realm.

Her every gesture naturally exuded an elegant aura, as if she was a classical beauty walking out of a painting, or a fairy descending to the mortal world.

The more Shen Wang looked, the more amazed he became. Seeing a woman with such a demeanor in his world was normal, but encountering one in this cultivation-focused demonic world was truly surprising.

Shi Qingqing wore a light green long dress, its hem fluttering in the wind like a blooming flower, emanating a fresh and otherworldly charm that left people in awe.

Her presence was like the warm sun of spring, warming those around her, immediately dispelling the unpleasant atmosphere just now, and like a radiant pearl, she instantly became the center of attention.

"Father, is this the esteemed guest?"

She caught sight of the injured Shi Zhixiang and a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, then smiled at Shen Wang.

Susu, seeing Shen Wang's expression, gave a slight smile, walked over to him, and said softly, "Husband, this is the City Lord's daughter, Shi Qingqing."

The Black Stone City Lord laughed and said, "Master Wang, this is my youngest daughter, Qingqing. Qingqing, quickly greet Master Wang. He is not only highly skilled but also a strong Demon Venerable, and his alchemy skills are unmatched within thousands of miles."

"Qingqing greets the elder."

Shi Qingqing smiled and bowed.

Shen Wang nodded, looking at Shi Qingqing: "I wonder if Miss Qingqing is engaged."

Shi Qingqing blushed and shook her head: "Qingqing is not yet engaged."

Upon hearing this, the Black Stone City Lord paused for a moment and then laughed heartily: "Master Wang seems to have taken a liking to my daughter?"

Shen Wang nodded: "Miss Qingqing is as graceful as a startled swan, as elegant as a swimming dragon, truly possessing a divine presence. I fell in love at first sight. I wonder if I may ask for her hand in marriage?"

The pressure from the Dark Race Demon Saint made Shen Wang eager to grow stronger as quickly as possible. Marrying more women was the fastest way, and Shi Qingqing happened to be someone he fancied, with suitable strength, so he took the opportunity to ask.

The Black Stone City Lord laughed: "Qingqing, what are your thoughts? Your father highly approves. Master Wang is not only young but also has an extraordinary background, so you should seize the opportunity."

Shi Qingqing's face turned a deep red, and she shyly glanced at Shen Wang, remembering how he just disciplined her brother Shi Zhixiang for Susu's sake. She lowered her head and softly said, "I am willing to... willing to follow father's arrangements."

"Good, good!"

The Black Stone City Lord laughed heartily: "Then today, I will betroth you to Master Wang."

"Congratulations, husband."

Susu congratulated Shen Wang from the side, believing that her husband would not treat her poorly for marrying Shi Qingqing.

Shen Wang smiled: "Then I will offer an elixir that can help break through to the Demon Venerable Realm as a betrothal gift. I hope Miss Qingqing will not mind."

As Shen Wang finished speaking, the entire hall fell into dead silence, followed by exclamations of disbelief.

"An elixir that helps break through to the Demon Venerable Realm must be a Sixth Grade Elixir, right?"

"This betrothal gift is too precious. Even a Demon Venerable may not be able to produce it."

"What a grand gesture, Miss Qingqing is truly fortunate."

The people in the City Lord's Mansion began to discuss. In the cultivation realm, an elixir that can help someone break through is undoubtedly one of the top-level elixirs of the same grade. Its value cannot be measured with money or treasures because even with treasures, it is difficult to match the success rate of a breakthrough granted by an elixir, making it one of the most sought-after elixirs by cultivators.

The Black Stone City Lord's expression turned very surprised at this moment.

He had specifically invited Shen Wang to refine such an elixir, prepared many materials, and needed to offer a heavy treasure as a reward. But now, marrying Shi Qingqing into the family would simply accomplish it, making it unexpectedly simple.

In this way, his descendants would have two people with the opportunity to cultivate to the Demon Venerable Realm, and the benefits of joining with this mysterious person would be numerous.

He seemed to see his family's future becoming glorious and powerful once more.

"Master Wang, this... this betrothal gift is too generous!" the Black Stone City Lord humbly said.

"It is my sincere intention."

Shen Wang smiled, as the offer of the gift was backed by his skills.

He was confident of refining more than two pills with the four portions of materials provided by the other party. One pill would serve as a token to them, and another would act as the betrothal gift.

Of course, this was due to his own expertise. Others, with the same four portions of materials, might not even be able to refine a single pill.

Shi Qingqing felt joyful in her heart. Such a precious betrothal gift reflected both respect for her father and esteem for her, making her feel that she would not suffer grievances when married.

Thinking of this, her eyes, like clear water, sparkled as she looked at Shen Wang, then shyly turned away.

Susu, standing nearby, was also pleasantly surprised, realizing that her husband truly liked Miss Qingqing.

"Master Wang, please take a seat."

The City Lord invited Shen Wang to sit, personally pouring wine for him: "Since Master Wang is so sincere, should the wedding be sooner rather than later?"

"Naturally, though the elixir has not yet been refined and will be given later."

Shen Wang was not averse to marrying Shi Qingqing sooner rather than later, as having another wife might lead to quicker progress.

He also wanted to gather information about the You Race Holy City through the Black Stone City Lord. If the place was densely populated with Demon Saints, he might need to break through to a greater realm before venturing there,
