Chapter 6 The Crown Prince is Getting Married

  The people jointly recommended Shun to govern the great flood. He searched for great talents among various tribes and finally found Yu, the son of Gun, the former minister in charge of water control.

  Facing the surging floodwaters, Da Yu learned from Gun's failure in controlling the waters and changed his approach from "blocking" to diverting the floodwaters. He summarized his experience into the concept of "controlling water by following its nature; where it tends to flow downwards, lead it into the sea; where it is high, dig a channel through; where it is low, divert it." After taking on the great responsibility of controlling the waters, Da Yu worked diligently and conscientiously, even going so far as to pass by his own home three times without entering.

  Yu the Great controlled the Great Flood, and after 10 years of hard work, he finally dredged nine rivers and led the great waters to the East Sea.

  Afterwards, Da Yu took the copper from Mount Xiang and cast nine tripods. On the day of completion, heaven bestowed a yellow dragon to reward his merits. The nine tripods flew out and stationed themselves at the borders of the human territories, dividing the vast territory into nine states, with the nine tripods suppressing them. From then on, humans rarely had great disasters, even if they were great gods, they could not shake the foundation of humanity.

  Da Yu, due to his contributions in controlling the flood, succeeded Shun as the leader of the human tribe a hundred years later. He also carried great virtues and had a long life. After his death, his descendants inherited his legacy and established the first slave dynasty in human history - the Xia Dynasty.

  ·····

  In the westernmost edge of the vast and desolate land, chaotic air flows churned constantly, countless fragments of space scattered all around, gradually being eroded and merged by the vast world.

  Among them is a larger space called the Nine-Layered Demon Domain.

  The nine-layered demon realm is different from other worlds. There is no flesh and blood life, nor is there a spiritual body. The vast world is filled with a group of soulless demons, some of which resemble giant dragons, while others are similar in shape to humans, but they all have one thing in common: these demons are all composed of negative energy.

  In the deepest part of the Nine-Layered Demon Realm, there was a palace called the Abyssal Demon Palace. It was a colossal structure that was almost as large as an entire sun star. The dark-colored palace emitted an enormous pressure that was no weaker than that of an Early Saint stage expert.

  A black-haired man sat stiffly on the throne, not moving for millions of years. If you looked closely, this person didn't have a single breath of life, that is to say, he had fallen long ago! But even after dying for who knows how many years, that unruly aura of a Demon Saint still hadn't decreased in the slightest, it's imaginable just how powerful he was when he was alive!

  At this moment, a man with six pairs of snow-white wings stepped lightly into the hall.

  That handsome and unparalleled face, with golden hair shining like the sun, exuding a sacred majesty between his eyebrows. Yes, it was indeed Lucifer, who had been squeezed out of the core power of the angel tribe!

  Lucifer gently knelt before the man, respectfully lowering his noble head.

  "Great Satan, I, Lucifer the Morning Star, devoutly pray to you, willing to lead millions of angels, abandon the glory of light, and create a fallen paradise for you!"

  ·····

  In the Primordial Heaven, behind the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Jade Emperor and the Yaochi Sacred Realm of the Queen Mother, there is a small fairy realm floating in mid-air, which is where Zhang Zilong's seven sisters live.

  The Princess Palace, the residence of the seven daughters of the Jade Emperor, is unlike other palaces in Heaven. It seems like a paradise on earth, with flowers and rare grasses everywhere, spiritual beasts and cranes, and a faint fragrance that makes people unwittingly intoxicated.

  "Golden light shines in all directions, rolling out red clouds; auspicious energy shoots forth in a thousand strands, spewing forth purple mist."

  At this moment, seven enchanting fairies are frolicking in the garden, singing and dancing, their sweet laughter echoing incessantly.

  Suddenly, a meteor-like light fell into the flower bed, stirring up a flurry of flying flowers. When the light dissipated, a handsome young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes appeared before everyone's eyes. He was none other than Zhang Zilong, the idol in the hearts of countless fairy maidens - Zhang the Great Prince!

  The seven fairy maidens saw that it was this lazy younger brother and were overjoyed.

  The smallest purple mist, three or two steps ran to Zhang Zilong's face, hands on his waist, strangely said: "Hey, which wind brought our brother here? Rare guest ah rare guest, amazing ah amazing ~"

  Zhang Zilong smiled awkwardly, heh heh, as it turned out that in the three realms, he was invincible and almost no one dared to provoke him, but this Seventh Sister was absolutely one of those few people.

  The seven fairy sisters were born to the same mother, but their personalities are vastly different. This little princess and Bi Xiao, Zhang Zilong's disciple, are absolutely a match made in heaven. Both have a quirky and playful nature, and both are lovely and charming. Often times, they would bully you, but you wouldn't be able to get angry with them. And no matter what, she is still your own sister. As the only son in the family, you generally don't have much status.

  "Hey, Seventh Sister, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of heartless person?"

  At this time, the few fairy maidens who followed behind heard Zhang Zilong's words and all covered their mouths to giggle. Those pairs of beautiful white eyes clearly told him that he was such a person, nothing could be done without entering the Three Treasures Hall!

  "Hmm... sweat, aren't you just going to leave your poor little brother outside? I've flown all the way from the sun and haven't had a good rest along the way. Good sister, let me in and have a drink of water?" Rubbing his nose, Zhang Zilong looked at these seven girls with a sullen expression, thinking: Women are really troublesome creatures... With the three troublemakers at home, plus Jingwei's little girl, it's already enough trouble, and now there are seven more sisters here. Being a man is really tiring..."

  In the end, it was the eldest princess who took care of things, pushing aside those sisters who had teased the prince and gently taking his hand to ask about his well-being.

  Hmmm, the prince understands. Generally, those who are older will have a maternal instinct. Just like Yun Xiao's sister is, this big sister also...

  Everyone welcomed the prince into the house, and the eldest princess kindly gave Zhang Zilong a cup of immortal wine and some spiritual fruits. After everyone had fun for a while, the prince hesitantly stated his purpose under the threat of Zi Xia.

  The princesses were all stunned, their little mouths hanging open in shock.

  Zhang Zilong scratched his head awkwardly and asked, "Is it necessary to be so surprised? Isn't it just that your brother is getting married... Logically speaking, we're all several thousand years old now, if we were in the mortal world, we would have married countless wives already. This is a standard late marriage and late childbirth, contributing to population reduction in Honghuang..."

  Zi Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled wildly as she heard this, "Halt, we didn't say you can't get married, the problem is, why was there no news beforehand? Who is your fiancée? Is it Chang'e, the moon goddess?"

  "Hmm, okay, sister you're really clever. Zhang Zilong rubbed his nose tip, that expression was clearly - You guessed it!"

  The crowd of princesses were shocked at the sight, "Wow, little brother you're so amazing! Chang'e is the number one beauty in our heavenly court!"

  Alright, Zhang Zilong, who was used to being the big brother, would be called little brother every time he came here, no wonder he didn't like coming to hang out with these seven little girls...

  "Look, don't you see what kind of person your brother is? My elegance is not something that ordinary people can match. Isn't she just a fairy maiden? What I want, there's no getting it out of my hands?" Someone let out a very shameless "heh heh" laugh, causing the princesses to roll their eyes again.

  "Cough, okay, I won't mess around. So, little brother here has something to ask of you all... You know this is my first time getting married and I have no experience, so... Stop, stop, Seventh Sister, don't hit me! I know you all don't have experience either... Cough, the thing is, girls are definitely more skilled in this aspect, and don't tell me that our old mom didn't teach you all these things...

  Zhang Taizi looked at the seven people with a very determined expression. The seven people heard his words and did not refute them.

  So, I'll say it now: esteemed sisters, would you be willing to follow me to the Sun Palace and help little brother set things up?"

  As for this matter, the seven people didn't have much of an opinion, but the eldest princess strangely asked: "Can't we just ask Father Emperor for some officials to handle the wedding ceremony and whatnot? Why do we have to go?"

  "Hmm..." Alright, Zhang Zilong couldn't say that he couldn't take so many tedious rituals and didn't want to find a group of old men to set rules for himself.

  But he didn't say it, and these beautiful women with elegant temperament also saw it from his expression.

  The eldest princess helplessly knocked on his head: "Forget it, I know you're a lazy brat, so we'll just help you this once. Although the wedding ceremony can be simplified, but the important etiquette still cannot be omitted..."

  "Haha, don't worry, big sister, I've got this under control!" In fact, the prince didn't care about those rules at all. Those rules were made for the weak, and as a high-ranking disciple of the Imperial Sect and a quasi-sage, who would dare say that his own rules didn't conform to etiquette?

  However, recently my old man at home has become more and more conservative, with a tendency to transform into the cold-faced emperor who pressed his sister under the peach mountain as heard from the previous life, sweat... it seems that I need to properly enlighten my dad sometime!
