A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality and I Become a God

From the shopkeeper, Wu Hao also learned about five suitable candidates. Of course, they were all around the same age as his son. Although age difference is not a big deal in the cultivation world, Ru Long was still young, and Wu Hao still wanted his son to marry someone he loved.

After getting married, it would be good if she gave him several, or even dozens, of grandchildren.

As for his son's character, Wu Hao, as a father, naturally knew him very well. He was extremely kind, upright, and honest—a truly good person. In addition, he inherited his and Su Qiaoran's good looks, making him a handsome man even among cultivators.

The shopkeeper recommended to Wu Hao the eldest daughters of the four Golden Core peak families in Sunset City, as well as the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion.

As Wu Hao observed them one by one, he directly ruled out the young ladies of the four major families because they were not good people. On the way, Wu Hao would pretend to be a pitiful beggar and go up to the four young ladies to beg, but he did not expect that they would have their subordinates beat him up and drive him away.

The four major families never expected that they would lose their chance to attain immortality because of this.

So the last target was the young lady of the city lord's mansion. According to the information Wu Hao had, the young lady of the city lord's mansion was named Xu Qingxue, and she was the same age as his son, both eighteen years old.

However, his talent was slightly inferior to that of his son, and he only had a mid-grade spiritual root, so he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Soon, Wu Hao had investigated the routes Xu Qingxue took every day. At the same time, he also investigated the reputation of this Miss Xu Qingxue in Sunset City. Unexpectedly, the reputation was exceptionally good. Everyone said that Xu Qingxue was a great person and even the most beautiful woman in Sunset City.

However, Wu Hao preferred to verify things himself rather than rely on what others said. It wasn't until he was lying on the road and the young lady Xu Qingxue had her maid take him to the hospital that Wu Hao finally decided to make Xu Qingxue his daughter-in-law.

After doing all this, Wu Hao took Xu Qingxue's portrait and came to Wu Rulong, then spoke.

"Son, this is the girl your father has found for you. Take a look and see if you like her?"

Wu Hao originally thought his son would be shy when he saw Xu Qingxue's portrait, but Wu Rulong's expression changed slightly and he hesitated for a moment.

Wu Hao clearly noticed something was amiss. He frowned, sensing that something was wrong, and immediately asked.

"Son, it seems you know this person?"

"Yes, I saw him some time ago."

Wu Rulong didn't hide anything and told her about meeting Xu Qingxue on the road the day before and getting to know her.

Wu Hao was immediately delighted upon hearing this. It seemed that Xu Qingxue was not averse to her son. In this day and age, not being averse meant liking him, which meant that there was a high probability that the marriage would go through.

So when he heard his father tell him to pursue Xu Qingxue, Wu Rulong did not object. And with the help of Wu Hao, a BOSS-level strategist, Wu Rulong quickly and successfully won Xu Qingxue over.

Half a month had passed by then. After hearing that Xu Qingxue had accepted her son's confession, Wu Hao immediately stood up and spoke.

"Let's go, come with me to the city lord's mansion to propose marriage!"

"Yes, Father!"

Hearing his father's words, Wu Rulong's tone was also extremely excited. After all, how could Wu Rulong not be excited about being able to marry the girl he liked?

Soon, led by Wu Hao, the two arrived at the city lord's mansion. Two guards at the peak of Qi Refining stood at the entrance of the mansion and stopped them after seeing Wu Hao and Wu Rulong.

"Halt! What are you two doing in my City Lord's Mansion?"

"Please let us know that we have important matters to discuss with the city lord."

With a warm smile, Wu Hao said, "It must be an important matter that you've come to propose marriage."

After glancing at Wu Hao and Wu Rulong, the two guards sensed an extraordinary aura emanating from them, so they didn't stop them but instead spoke up.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will go and inform the city lord."

One of the security guards turned and left after speaking, but Wu Hao and Wu Rulong were not in a hurry.

Soon, the gatekeeper returned and spoke.

"Please come in, both of you. The city lord is already waiting for you in the main hall."

Thank you.

After speaking politely, Wu Hao went inside, and Wu Rulong quickly followed.

When the two arrived at the main hall of the city lord's mansion, they saw a middle-aged man with an extremely serious expression sitting in the main seat of the hall. He was none other than Xu An, the city lord of Sunset City.

At this moment, Xu An's expression also carried a hint of doubt. He was quite curious about who would be visiting him.

Upon seeing Wu Hao, Xu An's expression turned serious. As a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, he couldn't even see through the cultivator's realm. It seemed Wu Hao was a powerful figure.

Of course, thanks to the power of the Heavenly Emperor's Myriad Paths Scripture, unless one's realm is two major realms or more above Wu Hao's, it is impossible to tell what realm Wu Hao is in.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask how to address you?"

After realizing Wu Hao's extraordinary abilities, Xu An stood up, smiled, and looked at Wu Hao, asking him a question.

Wu Hao waved his hand before speaking.

"Fellow Daoist, you can just call me Old Wu."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Wu. I've long admired your name."

Xu An, feigning sudden realization but having never heard of it before, put on an admiring expression and said...

However, Wu Hao did not expose him, because he had come today to propose marriage for his son.

So Wu Hao quickly got straight to the point and said that he had come to propose marriage. The moment he finished speaking, Xu An's expression turned extremely gloomy.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, if you have come here to propose marriage, I doubt I can agree. I will only consider my daughter's choice. If my daughter likes it, that's fine, but if she doesn't, I will not force her."

"Haha, you can rest assured about that, Lao Xu. My Rulong is already with your Qingxue. You just need to have your Qingxue come over to find out."

Wu Hao smiled and said. Upon hearing this, Xu An looked suspicious, but still sent his daughter over.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Qingxue arrived and saw Wu Rulong standing next to Wu Hao, her expression turned extremely shy. Xu An could easily understand that his daughter was indeed having an affair with the other party's son.

Just as Xu An was about to say something, Wu Hao spoke up, taking out a storage ring and saying...

"Old Xu, don't say I'm stingy. This is my betrothal gift."

Xu An was also curious about how much betrothal gift Wu Hao could bring out, but after seeing what was inside, Xu An fell silent, then stood up and said with a smile.

"Old Wu, don't say anything more. Let the child decide what's going on."

Xu An had no room to refuse. In terms of strength, he felt he was no match for Wu Hao, and in terms of wealth, Wu Hao had already thrown out a hundred top-grade spirit stones as a betrothal gift.

You have to understand that those are top-grade spirit stones. He couldn't even come up with ten, let alone a hundred. Since Wu Hao has been so sincere, how could he possibly refuse?

Of course, the most important thing is that the two children are in love; otherwise, Xu An might not have agreed.

Although we don't know the background of Wu Hao's family, if they can come up with one hundred top-grade spirit stones as a bride price, then they are definitely not simple people. It is definitely not a loss for their daughter to marry Wu Rulong.

As for why he gave Xu An one hundred top-grade spirit stones as a betrothal gift, Wu Hao had given it full consideration. After all, Xu An was the father of his daughter-in-law, Xu Qingxue. If the resources were insufficient, Xu An would not be able to improve his cultivation level and would eventually die of old age.

At that time, Xu Qingxue was already a member of the Wu family. If Xu An were to perish, Xu Qingxue would be very sad. That's why Wu Hao generously took out one hundred top-grade spirit stones to help Xu An improve his cultivation.

After all, for Wu Hao now, one hundred top-grade spirit stones are nothing at all, and he doesn't need them. Wu Rulong has only used less than fifty top-grade spirit stones in ten years of cultivation, so he might as well take out one hundred and give them to Xu An as a betrothal gift.

Wu Hao had already made some progress in acquiring resources, but he still needed to wait until his son was free and the Wu family was stronger before he could better implement the plan.

The two quickly discussed and agreed on the wedding date for their child. Because Wu Hao was in a hurry, they quickly set the date for the wedding to be held half a month later.

The news of the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion getting married quickly spread throughout Sunset City, shocking everyone. After all, in the eyes of the cultivators of Sunset City, Xu Qingxue was like a beautiful but unattainable flower on a high mountain, so many people were curious about who could win her over.

Even members of the four major families tried to cause trouble, but Wu Hao decisively eliminated them. Since it concerned his son's life, Wu Hao naturally could not afford to lose anything.

Even with peak Golden Core experts among the four major families, they are still no match for Wu Hao. The only reason to blame them is that their cultivation techniques are too low-level and their foundations too shallow.

That day was also known as the end of the four major families.
