Coincidentally, I have something to announce as well!"
Ye Chen's lips curved with a calm smile as he spoke plainly: "I want to marry Ya Fei as soon as possible. I hope the Clan Leader can arrange everything properly."
The Mittel Clan had always been a commercial family that valued利益 above all. Their female clan members were usually used for strategic marriages.
Their future husbands were never chosen by themselves ..... but decided through the Elder Council's votes.
Mu Zhan of the Mu Clan had pursued Ya Fei for a long time, and the Elder Council originally intended to marry her to him.
But now, with Ye Chen personally stating his intention to marry Ya Fei, Mittel Tengshan didn't dare show a hint of disagreement.
He only froze momentarily before nodding quickly: "Since you wish to marry Ya Fei, I will immediately arrange for people to escort her back from Wu Tan City!"
"There's no need for others to pick her up. I'll go personally.
Clan Leader, you only need to prepare the wedding properly." Ye Chen smiled and shook his head.
"Very well! Then I will send out invitations tomorrow and begin wedding preparations!"
Tengshan immediately agreed.
If Hai Bodong had not returned, he might still worry the Nalan Family would object.
But now, there was no such concern.
Hai Bodong's return had given Ye Chen absolute authority within the clan. All the effort Ye Chen had put in earlier… was finally paying off.
"There is one more matter… Clan Leader, this is a list of medicinal ingredients.
Please send people to gather everything as soon as possible."
Ye Chen handed over a rolled sheepskin parchment while speaking.
Hai Bodong's heart trembled slightly ....remembering Ye Chen mentioning the Purple Spirit Revival Pill earlier.
If the pill succeeded, he could save at least ten years of cultivation!
"Tengshan, hurry and do as he says! If possible, prepare extra!"
Hai Bodong urged urgently.
"Yes, Elder Hai! I will take my leave and see to it!"
With that, Tengshan respectfully retreated from the hall.
Soon after, Ye Chen departed with Qinglin, heading toward his own tranquil courtyard.
But if he wanted to wed Ya Fei, there was still one minor obstacle ...
his rightful wife, childhood sweetheart: Nalan Yanran.
In the courtyard, Nalan Yanran was strolling among the flowers as usual, accompanied by maids.
Her belly was already noticeably swollen ... too obvious to hide regardless of her loose dress.
But Ye Chen didn't show even the slightest dislike toward the changes in her figure. His gaze on her was filled with gentle affection.
The once youthful and lively junior sister now carried a soft mature charm.
"Husband!"
Seeing him return, her fair and beautiful face immediately lit up with a bright smile.
Ye Chen walked closer and laid his palm gently over her abdomen, his voice warm and soft: "Yanran, our child will be born soon! Are you happy?"
"Of course… In a little over two months, our child will be here." She nodded lightly, joy blooming across her features.
"Two months… wonderful."
A deep sigh surged in Ye Chen's heart.
Two lifetimes spent… and finally, he would become a father.
Moreover, once she gave birth, he would receive a system reward — blessings always came in pairs for him.
After a brief pause, Ye Chen spoke seriously: "Yanran, there is something I need to tell you."
"What is it, Husband? Just say it."
She looked at him casually, without the slightest worry.
"In a few days… I intend to bring Ya Fei into our home as well."
Ye Chen didn't conceal anything. He spoke frankly.
"Husband… you wish to marry Ya Fei?"
Nalan Yanran's eyes widened, a trace of grievance flashing through her pupils.
"Yanran, Ya Fei is also carrying my child. Her stomach is already showing — without a proper title, what would others say? I cannot let her bear that pressure alone."
Ye Chen explained with complete sincerity.
But Nalan Yanran's emotions were stirred, and she didn't respond right away.
Seeing this, Ye Chen placed his hand tenderly on her smooth cheek, gazing deep into her eyes: "Yanran… are you angry with me?"
Feeling the warmth of his palm and seeing the affection in his eyes, her chaotic emotions gradually calmed down.
"No… Husband, I'm not angry."
She shook her head softly, her voice faint: "She's pregnant with your child. Marrying her shows you are responsible. And someone as outstanding as you… naturally will attract many beautiful women. Having a few wives and concubines is normal… I shouldn't have been jealous just now…"
"Yanran, the fact you can think like this… truly makes me happy."
Ye Chen was pleased with her understanding nature, and he gently kissed her fair cheek.
"Husband… if you wish to marry Ya Fei, will the Elders agree? And what about Father and Grandfather…"
