[I love you all, every friend who supports "Super Warrior"!]

Father Ye Hong suddenly got angry, so angry that he didn’t even have dinner before leaving the Ye family’s hall. This was something Ye Tianchen had not expected. He thought that his parents were somewhat anxious about his settling down and getting married, but not to this extent. He didn’t expect his father to get so furious because of his marriage!

Actually, in Ye Tianchen’s memory, although Father Ye Hong was a strict parent, this was the first time he had ever gotten so angry, which put some pressure on Ye Tianchen. It seemed that getting married and having children to assure his parents about his future life was becoming urgent!

This dinner, for Ye Tianchen, was indeed unpleasant. As far as he himself was concerned, he was truly a filial son, and his family was the most important to him. However, he was no longer an ordinary person from the Mortal World. He knew too many unknown secrets, and his whole perspective and worldview were different from ordinary people in the Mortal World, which meant he could no longer live a normal life.

Perhaps, someone might think that since Ye Tianchen cared so much about his family and his relatives and friends, he should give up the path of martial arts for them and return to live in the Mortal World, always accompanying his family. Or, since his lifespan was now longer than his relatives’, he could live in the Mortal World for decades, and after his parents grew old, he could safely leave and return to the martial arts path and the Immortal Path, without any worries!

However, for Ye Tianchen, this was obviously unrealistic. He had already become a martial artist and one with a considerable Cultivation Realm, making it impossible to return to the Mortal World. Even if he could, would his powerful martial artist enemies agree? If these formidable martial artist enemies really found their way to the Mortal World, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t be able to escape the pursuit and would bring disaster to innocent people there. And as for returning to the Mortal World, waiting decades for his parents to grow old before returning to the martial arts path, that was even more unrealistic. Not to mention what Earth would look like in decades, or what the martial arts world would be like, just facing his parents’ eventual death in decades was something Ye Tianchen couldn’t accept. His idea was to master Great Divine Power, achieve the Martial Arts Peak, and even reach that step of Eternal Life and immortality, so his relatives could become immortals with him, which was his true and beautiful idea!

The idea is beautiful, but throughout history, in millions of years, no martial artist has ever managed to avoid loneliness as a strong person.

Emperors, eternally lonely, seem to be the fate all powerful beings cannot escape, an unbreakable shackle. Many, like Ye Tianchen, hope that as they grow stronger, their relatives and friends will witness their growth and be cherished by loved ones in the future, toasting and celebrating as peerless heroes, but none have managed this. Time is the most ruthless thing, and it grants no one a chance. The stronger the martial artist becomes, the longer their lifespan, even though they ultimately cannot escape death, they live much longer than ordinary people and other martial artists. By then, even their enemies will be gone, and that is true eternal loneliness!

Ye Tianchen sat in the pavilion by the small lake, pondering, thinking about the problem his parents, Ye Hong and Luo Yan, had just thrown at him. In the Mortal World, Ye Tianchen was not considered young anymore, and it was time for him to marry and have children. It’s no wonder his parents were anxious. Currently, Ye Tianchen was the only one who could bear the entire family’s burden, and although Ye Hong and Luo Yan had recovered from their last life-threatening event, they were still getting old. They not only hoped for the Ye family to have successors but also wished to see their children lead stable and happy lives, getting married and having children, with a complete family.

"Should I find the right opportunity to tell them about my current identity and my completely different worldview?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown and mutter to himself.

In reality, Ye Tianchen was quite troubled, and he understood that his ideal state was to grow and strengthen step by step, with his parents by his side, to reach the Emperor Realm and even become an immortal. That way, his parents would live as long as heaven with him, achieving immortality, and Ye Tianchen would strive for this, even if it meant being shattered and facing endless fiascos. However, Ye Tianchen knew very well that throughout history, no one had ever achieved this. If it were possible, the world would be full of strong people and immortals because those who become immortal could let their relatives become immortal too, achieving the same immortality. If that were true, wouldn’t the world already be full of immortals?

So, Ye Tianchen understood that, regardless of whether he told his parents the truth, they would stay in the Mortal World or choose to follow him to the Ancient Martial World, they couldn’t possibly live as long as he did. It was nearly impossible for them to witness his moment of reaching the peak. Therefore, his parents’ greatest wish was to see him get married and have children, living a happy and fulfilling life, which is a perfectly reasonable expectation.

"Maybe I really should get married, fulfilling my duty and obligation as a son!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment before muttering to himself.

"If you want to get married, you need someone to marry..." Suddenly, Liu Rumei walked up behind Ye Tianchen and said.

In fact, when Liu Rumei walked over, Ye Tianchen had already felt her presence, but he didn’t turn around. For Ye Tianchen, he knew his duty and obligation, especially this time, his father Ye Hong’s anger made him feel that maybe it was time to get married, even if only to ease his parents’ minds, fulfilling his duty as a son.

"Yeah, you need a partner to get married, but unfortunately, finding this partner isn’t easy, and being my wife isn’t that simple!" Ye Tianchen sighed and said.

Liu Rumei gave Ye Tianchen a sidelong glance, seeming somewhat displeased as she said, "I really wonder if you’re gay. You know your duty and obligation, and it’s natural for Uncle and Aunt to want to see you get married and have children; everyone can understand that. Even if you... you don’t fancy me, you can find someone else to marry!"

"It’s not that I don’t fancy you. If I were to take the step of marriage, the person would definitely be you!" Ye Tianchen replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Liu Rumei was momentarily stunned, and then a slight smile appeared on her lips. But soon, her girlish reserve took over, and she regained her composure, responding in annoyance, "Who said I wanted to marry you? I never said that. Do you think I’m that easy? There’s no ring, no proposal..."

Of course, the last part of Liu Rumei’s words was spoken in a very low voice, but Ye Tianchen still heard it. And Ye Tianchen was no longer in doubt about Liu Rumei’s feelings for him. However, Ye Tianchen knew that getting married meant something significant. Perhaps, for the women who loved him, being able to marry Ye Tianchen was their wish and a great joy. But for Ye Tianchen, choosing a woman as his wife meant being responsible for her and considerate towards her.

The reason Ye Tianchen had never considered romantic entanglements was because he realized his life was destined not to stop, not to linger in the Mortal World, not in the Ancient Martial World, nor in the Martial Arts World. He had his mission, his dreams, and goals to strive for. The word ’stagnation’ was destined not to be part of Ye Tianchen’s life. So, whether it was the women who loved him or the women he loved, Ye Tianchen chose this way. They would fight side by side, but he wouldn’t particularly make them worry about him. Just like when Ye Tianchen first thought of entering the Ancient Martial World, he gathered all his close female friends in the Mortal World for a meal. He didn’t want to hold them back. Every person has their own life and different way of living. Not everyone wants to be an immortal. Knowing this, Ye Tianchen never insisted.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen turned around, placing his hands on Liu Rumei’s shoulders. Liu Rumei, taken aback, retreated to the pavilion’s stone pillar, leaning against it. But Ye Tianchen was so close, the two looking directly into each other’s eyes.

"What... what are you trying to do?" Liu Rumei, slightly blushing, asked with surprise.

"Becoming my wife might mean enduring endless loneliness, possibly facing widowhood at any time. Have you thought it over?" Ye Tianchen asked Liu Rumei seriously.

"Wha... what are you talking about? Why say such discouraging things?" Liu Rumei was shocked, feeling somewhat absurd, as she looked at Ye Tianchen and asked.

"I’m simply asking you, are you willing? Just like in a marriage ceremony, through poverty and wealth, health and sickness, are you willing to marry me and be my wife?" Ye Tianchen looked at Liu Rumei very seriously and asked.

Liu Rumei was completely at a loss, not knowing why Ye Tianchen was saying this or these words. She simply asked instinctively, "Are... are you proposing to me?" (To be continued.
