Second, this would completely tie David to the cause of the Earth Fire Pavilion. With this attachment, David had to do everything in his power to help the Earth Fire Pavilion fight the Evil Path Hall.
Third, David has the Golden Dragon bloodline and is very talented. If he could become the son-in-law of the Earth Fire Pavilion, it would be of great benefit to the future development of the Earth Fire Pavilion and also help him reshape his physical body.
As for myself
David looked at Huo Ling’er.
Huo Ling’er lowered her head, her fingers nervously twirling the hem of her clothes, her pretty face so red it looked like it was going to bleed.
Even though he was shy, there was no rejection in his eyes; instead, there was a slight sense of anticipation.
To be honest, Huo Ling’er was very beautiful, came from a noble family, was kind and brave, and was very loyal to him.
It would be a great blessing to marry such a woman as a Taoist partner.
But David still has another woman in his heart, and there are too many unresolved things.
But then he thought about it again. He and Huo Ling’er had feelings for each other, and Huo Ling’er had just publicly declared that she was his lover, thus tying Huo Ling’er’s reputation to his own.
If he refused now, it would not only hurt Huo Ling’er’s feelings, but also make him lose face in the Fire Earth Pavilion.
More importantly, he still needed the power of the Earth Fire Pavilion to fight against the Evil Path Hall, and he needed the Earth Fire Ancestor to point out the location of the Earth Core Jade Marrow Milk.
“Yes,” David said slowly, taking a deep breath.
The sound was not loud, but it sounded clear to everyone’s ears.
Huo Ling’er trembled, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling with shock and disbelief.
“But,”
David continued, “Even though Ling’er and I love each other, marriage is a serious matter that requires Ling’er’s consent. If she is unwilling, I will never force her.”
All eyes fell on Huo Ling’er.
Huo Ling’er bit her lip, looking at David with tears welling in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and gathered her courage: “I do.”
His voice was as soft as the buzz of a mosquito, but in the silent cave, it sounded as clear as thunder.
Earth Fire Ancestor laughed heartily: “Alright! Then, let’s get married immediately! Blazing Sky, you will preside over the ceremony!”
Huo Fentian smiled bitterly, but did not dare disobey his ancestor’s orders.
He looked at his daughter, then at David, and finally sighed: “Okay, since the ancestors have given the order, and you two love each other, then get married.”
“Good!” The elder accepted the order and left.
Earth Fire Ancestor nodded with satisfaction: “Very good. After the wedding, David will go into seclusion in the forbidden area to help me recover my physical body. After I successfully recover my physical body, I will hold a celebration for you personally.”
He looked at David, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes: “Young man, treat Ling’er well. She is someone I watched grow up. If you dare betray her huph.”
David clenched his fists solemnly and said, “Rest assured, Ancestor, David will not disappoint Ling’er.”
“Alright! Everyone disperse, let’s get ready for the wedding.”
Earth Fire Ancestor’s fiery body slowly dissipated and merged back into the magma pool.
The group left the restricted area.
Huo Fentian looked at David and Huo Ling’er standing side by side, his feelings were mixed.
He patted David on the shoulder: “Son, treat my daughter well. If you dare to bully her, I won’t let her get away with it.”
“Don’t worry, Father-in-law,” David quickly changed his tone.
Huo Fentian’s lips twitched, but he finally sighed and turned to leave.
Soon, only David, Huo Ling’er, and the Red Cloud Demon Lord were left in the cave.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward for a moment.
Red Cloud Demon Lord wisely stepped aside: “I’m going out for a walk, you guys just chat.”
After the Red Cloud Demon King left, Huo Ling’er blushed and looked at David, whispering, “David I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say that, I just wanted to save you”
“I know.”
David said softly, “I should be the one thanking you. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to get through this today.”
“But but”
Huo Ling’er bit her lip, “Now that Ancestor wants us to get married, are you really willing? If you are not willing, I can go and talk to Ancestor.”
“I do.”
David interrupted her, took her hand, and said, “Ling’er, you are a good girl. It is my blessing to be your Daoist partner.”
He paused, then said sincerely, “But I’m carrying too much of a burden, and there are other women too. There might be many dangers ahead. If you follow me, you might suffer.”
