"Clang!"

"Bang!"

Gu Xiyan, who was holding a bowl, chopsticks, and spoon, preparing to start eating, heard Mu Jinyu's words and froze in place. Subsequently, her hand loosened, allowing the bowl, chopsticks, and spoon to fall to the ground and shatter.

"Marriage?!"

"Marriage..."

Not only was Gu Xiyan's reaction a bit much, but Wen Rou, Mei Yinxue, Yu Linglong, Lin Qiaoxia, and Xu Qingya were all equally stunned and immediately raised their hands to cover their mouths, looking at Mu Jinyu with disbelief.

Wen Rou and several others had eyes like autumn water, rippling continuously, and they eventually shed two lines of clear tears in excitement.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu was stunned and then felt very guilty.

He remembered that over a year ago, he had proposed to Gu Xiyan and the others, thinking they'd get married in a while and might have a few big sons later.

However, shortly after, bad news from Xiang Mantang arrived. He rushed to save Xiang Mantang, ending up half-dead himself, and then a series of events occurred, leaving Mu Jinyu no time to think about it.

This led to his promise to Gu Xiyan and Wen Rou about marriage being delayed repeatedly.

They probably thought that, after enduring so many hardships, whether they got married or not didn't make much sense, and he might not have wanted to marry them anymore, so none of them ever mentioned marriage to him!

Therefore, when he suddenly brought up marriage now, their reaction was somewhat intense.

This made Mu Jinyu feel a bit guilty and ashamed.

Actually, he hadn't forgotten about marriage; after all, a marriage is one of the most important events in a woman's life, and he couldn't possibly leave them unanswered.

Now, it doesn't seem too late; hopefully, they can accept it...

Gu Xiyan raised her hand to cover her red lips tightly, her eyes were a mixture of surprise and delight as she looked at Mu Jinyu, never expecting this time he'd come back with a discussion about marriage.

She was shedding clear tears while choking up, "Who proposes like this? Without a ring or flowers, without any ceremony..."

Mu Jinyu was taken aback, thinking that it made sense, so he said, "Wait for me a moment..."

After that, he performed Void Shift and his figure vanished from the room in an instant.

Gu Xiyan's follow-up words were choked as she said, "But seeing as you still have a conscience, I'll..."

She hadn't finished speaking when she saw Mu Jinyu leaving.

Gu Xiyan's words of acceptance stuck in her throat, and after a long daze, she stomped her feet angrily, saying, "This idiot! If he can't give us an explanation later, we can't just agree to him like this!"

She said the last sentence looking toward the other five women.

"Uh..."

"Uh-huh..."

Wen Rou, Lin Qiaoxia, and Xu Qingya weren't bothered by these things and actually wanted to agree to Mu Jinyu right away, but seeing Gu Xiyan becoming somewhat angry, they thought she might be right. Then, they stood together in solidarity, not agreeing to Mu Jinyu easily.

Su Zijin stood aside, also happy, but the situation made her hesitant to speak casually.

In her heart, she muttered that Mu Jinyu indeed was a bit foolish; when he first returned from Kunlun Ruins and gifted them so many Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, he should have directly seized the moment to propose, using the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures instead of diamond rings—how great would that be?

But now the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures have already been given to them, and going to get ordinary diamond rings to propose now might seem a bit odd.

Who knows what Mu Jinyu is going to get next?

Su Zijin was quite curious.

Then, she cautiously hid herself in a guest room, deciding not to disturb them.

Mu Jinyu, being reminded by Gu Xiyan, also felt proposing shouldn't be casual, it should have some ceremonial touch.

Similarly, his thoughts were quite similar to Su Zijin's, feeling regret he didn't propose with heaven-reaching spiritual treasures at the time; trying to propose now, should he really buy those ordinary diamond rings?

Such useless diamonds might be a big surprise for ordinary people, but for cultivators like them, it really doesn't mean anything; when attacking, the True Yuan might just explode them!

So, after some thought, Mu Jinyu considered making a few rings himself?

But not with ordinary diamonds, rather with better materials among the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Red Lotus Red Jade Marrow, Divine Ice Blue Star Stone, Six Ultimate Scarlet Spirit Jade, Qiongqi Exquisite Jade, Profound Soul Condensing Soul Jadite...

Mu Jinyu soon thought of these forging materials, feeling they would make nice diamonds for the rings.

As for the metal ring, other materials like Mysterious Iron Fine Gold and Light Glass Cloud Sand would be used to make it...

However, these materials could directly make heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. If forged hastily because there's no Artifact Spirit material, they'd just be Top-Quality Spiritual Treasures, which seemed somewhat wasteful...

Then Mu Jinyu thought of the divine path souls in the Paradise Lost headquarters, those exotic beasts would be very suitable as Artifact Spirits for forging heaven-reaching spiritual treasures!

Thinking about it, this might take quite some time and can't be completed quickly.

Hence, Mu Jinyu took another step back to the hall.

Gu Xiyan and the others saw Mu Jinyu return, thinking he was prepared for the proposal, and were prepared to haughtily see what he had prepared, only to see him coming back empty-handed, with an apologetic expression on his face. She was astonished.

Mu Jinyu apologized, saying, "Sorry, I've not prepared it yet. It might take about a day or so? Please wait for me, I'm really sorry..."

Once done speaking, he disappeared from the hall again.

The women were stunned for a moment; Gu Xiyan jumped in anger and said, "Damn, what is he up to? Is he playing games with us? He would have been better off not saying anything at the beginning!"

Yu Linglong said softly, "Xiyan, you shouldn't have said that earlier; now we're pretty embarrassed!"

Gu Xiyan glared at her and said, "Are you rushing to stick yourself to him? Besides, I was just saying without thinking, who knew he would react like that, it infuriates me!"

Mei Yinxue spoke softly, "No need to blame each other, after all, we've endured all these years. Now we're finally going to have a happy ending, and he wants to give us a good explanation. We just need to wait, no need to rush..."

Wen Rou also smiled, "Yes, Sister Mei is right, we don't need to be so impatient. We've come this far; early or late doesn't matter. Besides, even if we get married, aren't we already living like this?"

Yu Linglong whispered, "How can it be the same? Initially, we didn't expect anything and lived peacefully and happily, but he suddenly wants to propose and is unprepared, isn't he just teasing us?"

"Are you disappointed?" Xu Qingya suddenly asked.

Yu Linglong paused and then smiled, shaking her head gently, "Actually...not disappointed, rather quite looking forward to it..."

The women exchanged glances and realized the resentful expression on each other's faces had vanished, replaced by an expression full of anticipation at the corners of their eyes and brows.
