Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator

CHAPTER 106

Yu Wenjin followed the scrawny man to a two-story house just outside of the village.

From the way the house looked, it used to be a mansion of the local gentry. It was surrounded by tall fences, and its roof was covered with green glazed tiles. Two human-sized stone lions were set by the entrance. In the courtyard, a white-haired woman sat in a rocking chair and was enjoying the afternoon sun that came through the grape vines above her. It was supposed to be a cozy country scene.

However, the peace and serenity of the scene were disrupted by a large green snake that coiled itself by the old woman's feet.

"Granny." Yu Wenjin was not disturbed by the eerie scene as she readily greeted the old woman.

The white-haired woman opened her eyes and cracked a loving smile.

"Have you bid farewell to your friends?"

Her voice was a stark contrast with her appearance; it was like a wailing of a night owl. Her voice and the snake completed a ghostly portrait of the old woman.

"Yes." Yu Wenjin scurried toward the old woman; it was as if she felt safer being closer with her.

"Granny Snake, your granddaughter is getting too close to other boys. It makes things very difficult for me." The scrawny man said as he leaned against the door.

"Rightfully so! My granddaughter is pretty, and boys are attracted to her. That's just how it is." Granny Snake's smile disappeared, and then she refuted in a stern voice: "Zhang Ben, you are sent by Young Master to protect Xiao Jin, not to micromanage her."

Zhang Ben snorted. He didn't want to argue with the old woman. Instead, he glared at Yu Wenjin and said: "You must remember at all times that you belong to the young master. If anyone else touches you, I will make sure they won't be able to touch anything else again."

His eyes held the savage luster that threatened to kill. It was obvious that it wouldn't be the first time for him to take someone's life.

"Yes..." Yu Wenjin lowered her head and replied reluctantly.

She had heard the same old thing from everyone she knew: her granny, father, uncles, aunties, and elders of the village. They all told her the same thing: she belonged to the young master.

"But I have never met him before. Why me?"

Yu Wenjin thought indignantly.

The thought was less unbearable when she lived in the village in the middle of nowhere with her own people. However, ever since she moved to the county town, and met with her classmates, she started to change. She wanted to open herself up to her friends, but whenever she tried to do so, she always got a stern warning from Zhang Ben.

Even Granny Snake nodded in agreement with Zhang Ben. She said to Yu Wenjin: "Xiao Jin, Young Master is a powerful man. It is your honor to be married to him. Your marriage will bring immeasurable prestige and wealth to our family.

"Young Master is coming for you soon. You won't have to be stuck here forever."

"Ok, granny. I got it."

Yu Wenjin managed a calm expression to hide her disappointment.

Without support from her closest and the most trusted person in the world, she couldn't find it in her to rebel.

Everyone from her hometown knew that the young master was a powerful cultivator. He could kill from miles away, and control hundreds of ghosts at one time. If she denied his blessing and ran away from the marriage, what would happen to her family?
