Being Forced Into A Marriage

Ling Chen slowly nodded. So it was like that wait! You just said that you and LengEr err, your daughter, have been separated for 10,000 years?

Thats right. The Underworld King heavily nodded. 10,000 years a whole 10,000 years. 10,000 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and if LengErs body hadnt been destroyed and her soul hadnt been damaged, she would have already matured and may have become the next Underworld Queen however, its already good enough that shes back.

10,000 years it had actually been such a long time. To humans, 10,000 years was something that they could not even comprehend. Ling Chen thought for a moment before hesitantly asking, Then is it possible for you to tell me how you and LengEr were separated after being with LengEr for so long, I want to know about her past.

The Shuras Devastation, The Underworld King answered. Because of the things he had seen from LengErs memories, he was incredibly thankful to Ling Chen, and he also deeply trusted him. Im sure that with your experiences you already know what the Shuras Devastation was. Countless beings died, bringing disaster to the entire Forgotten Continent. In the end, even the Underworld was caught in it. ChanEr and I were mercilessly attacked by the Shura without any preparation. The Shura was simply too powerful, and even despite fighting with my full strength, I was unable to stop him. I was heavily wounded, and I lost my ability to fight for a long time.

Luckily, my Underworld Generals Warring Palace and Warring Star were able to escape with ChanEr. Afterwards, I could not find them, but because of the connection between our bloodlines, I knew that ChanEr was still in this world after the Shuras Devastation, the Demon Beast Clan tried to bring more disaster. The Underworld had been greatly weakened, so we could only close all of the Underworld Doors, and I, who had temporarily lost the ability to fight, could only hide like a turtle in the Underworld Blood Lake to recover my strength, and I was unable to look for ChanEr.

Finally, after the Demon Beast Clan had finally been vanquished, I had recovered some of my strength, and I started to desperately search for ChanEr. Afterwards, we found Warring Stars remains at the Demon Beast Clans battlefield, but I could not find Warring Palace and ChanEr from then onwards, I searched for 10,000 years, but I was unable to find ChanEr 10,000 years! The Underworld King raised his head. After feeling immense joy from finding his daughter, he was filled with immeasurable sorrow and aggrievement.

Ling Chen didnt know about Warring Star, but he clearly remembered Warring Palace. Evidently, they had been attacked by the Demon Beast Clan 10,000 years ago. Warring Star had died to stop the Demon Beast Clan while Warring Palace took LengEr and escaped. As they escaped, its lifeforce was about to run out and was about to turn into a skeleton, but its undying will allowed him to continue to remain by LengErs side as a skeleton. Even after 10,000 years, he still had the willpower to protect her until Xi Ling used the Heavenly Wrath of the 9 Suns to kill it and was once again killed by Ling Chen afterwards.

Ling Chen couldnt help but respect the Underworld General called Warring Palace.

Regardless, the father and daughter have been reunited. Although LengErs currently unable to remember her past, as long as she has enough time after shes returned to the Underworld Oh! Right, Underworld King, did you say there were methods to help her restore her memory? Is that true? Ling Chen looked over at LengEr behind him, who had no idea what they were talking about. His expression was calm, but the shock within him was unable to be calmed down LengEr, who he had coincidentally picked up and spent every day making happy, was actually the Underworld Kings daughter, and she was next in line to become the Underworld Queen. How could he feel calm in the face of such a terrifying truth?

Even more importantly, because of the Soul Sacrifice Contract, LengEr was his humanoid pet! An Underworld Queen was his pet, bound by an inviolable contract, sharing a life with him Ohmygod!

This journey to the Underworld had simply been too eventful! Just what else could happen?

There are indeed many methods. The Underworld King nodded, but then he frowned and looked at LengEr before turning his gaze to the Underworld Blood Lake. ChanEr has lost her memories because her soul is incomplete. As long as we can awaken the damaged portion of her soul, she will naturally recover her memories, feelings, intelligence, and speaking abilities. Ai, although the Underworld Blood Lake can heal part of our power, its unable to heal our souls. Although there are many ways to repair ones soul, not only are they incredibly tough, they also need an incredibly long time.

How long? Ling Chen asked as he frowned.

The shortest takes 30 years, while the longest takes 70 or so years, The Underworld King calmly replied.

Ling Chen was speechless. Perhaps this amount of time didnt mean much to the Underworld King, but that was an incredibly long time to humans.

Not only that, the soul will be greatly stimulated throughout the repairing process, causing pain to the soul. Moreover, theres a chance of failure, The Underworld King continued. However, Ling Chen strangely felt that the Underworld King seemed incredibly calm as he spoke as if he had some other method. He definitely wouldnt be willing to use those methods on LengEr.

Could it be that there are better methods? Ling Chen asked.

There are! Of course there are! The Underworld King turned and looked at him with a burning gaze, making Ling Chen feel quite uncomfortable. The Underworld King smiled, Before looking at ChanErs memories, I definitely wouldnt have used such a method. However, theres no problem The Underworld Kings smile became deeper and stranger, Not only will the effects be evident within a short period of time, but there also arent any side-effects or pain. Moreover, not only will it restore ChanErs soul, but it will also slowly repair her body, turning her from a half-soul, half-corporeal existence into a true fleshly being.

Whats more, the only person who can help her with this is you, who ChanEr has the Soul Sacrifice Contract with, the Underworld King said as he gave Ling Chen a deep look and patted him on the shoulder.

Me? Ling Chen asked in surprise.

Thats right. This is because ChanEr made a Soul Sacrifice Contract with you, and its the last one she can use in her lifetime. With the Soul Sacrifice Contract, her body and soul are both attached to you. You should know that no one else can touch LengEr but you because of the Soul Sacrifice Contract. As such, you can use your soul and life force to awaken the dormant part of ChanErs soul and help her slowly regain her body only you can do it!

Although he had heard every word the Underworld King had said, Ling Chen felt incredibly confused, and he asked, What should I do then?

Very simple. The Underworld King tapped his chin before saying in a low voice, Consummate with her.

Consummate? Ling Chen frowned in confusion, and after falling silent for a while, his eyes widened as he asked, By consummate, you couldnt mean mean

The Underworld King grinned. Nonsense! What else could it mean? Most of ChanErs memories are filled with you, and although she doesnt know it, shes heavily dependent on you. Although youre a human, I can tell that youre quite extraordinary from ChanErs memories. For you to be able to defeat even the Undead War God, even I feel some respect towards you, so I suppose youre good enough for ChanEr! Most importantly, youre very good to ChanEr and adding on the fact that your consummation can help her regain her soul and body, I think this is perfect.

B-B-B-But Ling Chen started to stammer.

What do you mean, but? The Underworld King glared at him. Could it be that the Underworld Kings daughter, the next Underworld Queen, is not good enough for you?

Thats not the problem! Just as Ling Chen was wondering if his journey could be any more eventful, it had suddenly become plenty more eventful. The Underworld Kings words shocked Ling Chen out of his wits, making him feel at a loss as to what to say. Dont you think LengErs still too young shes still a child, so how could she

Young? How is she too young? My daughter is 10,823 years old this year! Even your great-great-great-great-great grandfather would think shes too old! How could she be too young? The Underworld King roared.

Ling Chen choked on his words although LengEr looked like a young girl, she was actually more than 10,000 years old, so he was unable to use this excuse anymore. He scratched his head as he hurriedly said, Underworld King, you should know that Im a human, while LengEr belongs to your Underworld Royal Clan and is, therefore, an Undead. For a living being and an Undead to err

Undead? Who told you that the Underworld Royal Clan are all Undead? The Underworld King retorted before pointing at LengEr. LengEr is my daughter. Have you heard about Undead having children before?

Ling Chen was speechless indeed, he had never heard of such a thing before.

However, wasnt the Underworld King the Emperor of countless Undead in the Underworld? As the Emperor of Undead, how could he not be an Undead? Moreover, from LengErs attacks, he could tell that they were evidently Darkness-attributed.

The Underworld King calmly replied, The Underworld Royal Clan are not Undead, nor are we living beings. Our ancestor was the ancient forget it, this is my Underworld Royal Clans secret, and theres no need for you to know. You can think of it as the Underworld Royal Clan having an affinity with the aura of death and the power of death but with a living body and an Undead soul! Furthermore, I can promise you on the honour of the Underworld Royal Clan that there will be no problems with an Underworld Queen consummating with a living creature. Even having children will be no problem!

Ling Chen: .. (What the hell is that supposed to mean?!)

The Underworld King suddenly became infuriated. You keep looking for reasons to refuse this. Could it be that you look down on the Underworld Royal Clan and think that my daughter isnt good enough for you?

No! Of course not! Ling Chen immediately waved my hands,

Could it be that you dont want to save my daughter? The Underworld King became even more furious.

Of course not Ling Chen almost felt like crying what was this progression of events?!

Then what are you hesitating for? The Underworld King grabbed Ling Chen and roared at him, almost causing his eardrums to burst, Ive been separated from ChanEr for 10,000 years, and Ive been dreaming for her to call me father. And now, shes right in front of me, but she doesnt recognise me. A young man like you who hasnt been a father before wouldnt understand this sort of pain.

I dont want to wait for even a second! Im going to immediately announce to the entire city that Ive found my ChanEr and that Ive also found a son-in-law! Tonight, youre going to get married and help ChanEr recover her memories so that she can at least call me father. If her memories havent come back by tomorrow, t-t-t-then dont even hope of leaving!
