Marrying a sickly dragon for good luck

Chapter 1

The sun shone brightly, casting a soft glow on the towering treetops, and boundless warmth enveloped the earth.

Fu Mingxu was surrounded by a cacophony of sounds, a chaotic mix of memories that gave him a terrible headache.

"Stop arguing!" he whispered instinctively, the swelling sensation in his mind making him ignore the discomfort in his back.

The irritating sounds instantly subsided, and a gentle, warm breeze caressed Fu Mingxu's face, giving his already exceptionally handsome features a radiant glow.

As he struggled to open his eyes, the leader's voice was shrill, and the words he spoke seemed to pierce his eardrums like needles.

"Fu Mingxu, you're nothing but a good-for-nothing. The Fu family has raised you for years, and you can't even do this little thing?" Fu Haoren breathed a sigh of relief but was also filled with resentment when he saw him slowly wake up. "You're such an ungrateful wretch!"

The familiar words instantly dispelled Fu Mingxu's daze in less than a breath. He opened his eyes and saw several people dressed in fine clothes. The leader was Fu Haoren, who was holding a whip and looking down at him with undisguised jealousy in his eyes.

When Fu Mingxu saw the whip, memories of the past surged back like a tidal wave along with the burning pain in his back. He didn't speak, but looked at everyone with clear eyes. Then he slowly stood up and, while the others were still stunned, quickly recalled the scene of the world collapsing.

His back was very straight, and even though there were traces of blood seeping from his back, which was covered in a blue robe, he stood there like a green bamboo in the morning mist, his elegance undiminished.

[When heaven and earth are turned upside down, the Way is sacrificed for them.]

This is all I can do; the rest, I hope you know how to do.

Looking at everything familiar in front of him, Fu Mingxu couldn't help but reach out to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight and subconsciously lowered his gaze.

Immortal Lord Siyang truly succeeded.

“You…” Fu Mingxu frowned slightly, finally remembering which point in time he had returned to.

Faced with the deliberate provocation of Fu Haoren and the others, after a brief moment of confusion, he was no longer as angry as he had been in his previous life. For some reason, he smiled at them instead.

He ignored the people opposite him, casually fed himself a Vitality Pill, and endured the slight itch as the flesh on his back healed. A pair of golden eyes, gradually being swallowed by black energy, flashed through his mind.

As the heavens and earth trembled, those golden eyes looked down upon the earth, cold and ruthless, leaving a deep impression.

Suppressing his thoughts, Fu Mingxu turned his gaze back to the person in front of him.

To be honest, although he was not well-liked in the Fu family, he had lived a relatively peaceful life in the past. This was the first time he had been injured in his memory.

As for the reason why Fu Haoren took action, he knew it himself.

Fu Haoren shuddered, as if he had been seen through. Especially when he felt there was a hint of mockery in that smile, but when he looked closely, he saw nothing at all.

"Let's see if you can still laugh!" Fu Haoren raised his whip, ready to strike again. The others silently took a half step back when they saw his movement, clearly understanding his meaning.

It seems he's preparing to "teach" Fu Mingxu another lesson.

"Ungrateful wretch?" As his strength slowly returned, Fu Mingxu glanced at the slightly dilapidated courtyard in the spring sunshine and chuckled, "My father left the Fu family a large number of pills and talismans before he left, which was more than enough to raise me to adulthood."

He didn't point it out directly, since Fu Haoren and the others only knew a little bit, and there was no need to waste words on them. As for the whipping earlier, he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

Fu Haoren felt a strange sense of guilt under his gaze, and loosened his grip on the whip a little. He suddenly remembered that Fu Mingxu's father was the previous head of the family, but after resigning from the position, he never returned. When they were young, they had a good relationship with Fu Mingxu, but with the arrival of the new head of the family, they gradually drifted apart under the instructions of their parents.

In particular, when the spiritual quality was tested at the age of eight, Fu Shanqing, the son of the previous new family head, dripped his blood onto the immortal quality plate and his radiance shone brightly. Everyone else showed some signs of spiritual quality, but when it came to Fu Mingxu, there was no reaction at all.

As a result, the people who had initially treated Fu Mingxu fairly well because of the supplies left behind by the former head of the family changed their attitude almost overnight.

The gates of Heaven have long been closed, and no one has attained immortality for ten thousand years. Not a single member of the Fu family feels that using these resources on Fu Mingxu is a worthwhile endeavor.

Even though these things were originally left by his father, who is now missing and his father, Fu Yangxue, is unknown.

The attitude of the Fu family elders influenced the younger generation. Fu Mingxu didn't care about these things. He knew that on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he would be forced by the family to be sent to the city lord's mansion to marry a woman to bring good luck in place of his cousin. The other party was Han Tao, the city lord who was seriously injured after the war between immortals and demons and could not even maintain his human form. His cousin, who had excellent immortal qualities, could not enter this fire pit, but he could.

Fu Haoren, upon hearing others instigate him for stealing Fu Shanqing's marriage, whipped him without any explanation. However, Fu Mingxu knew that according to his plan, he would leave the Fu family tonight. As for Han Tao's marriage to his cousin to bring good luck, he didn't know why it had fallen through.

After leaving the Fu family, he stayed in Yunhan City for over a month. The Fu family searched for him for a few days after he left, and then there was no further news. He only received news in the city that the marriage proposal had been canceled.

According to the previous plan, it wouldn't be difficult for him to leave the Fu family again, but Fu Haoren's words just now reminded him of something.

Perhaps he can take this opportunity to reclaim what his father left him.

Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, and Fu Mingxu's lips curled into a faint smile. After a few words, Fu Haoren's heart began to pound.

What did Fu Mingxu mean by that? A sense of unease welled up in Fu Haoren's heart. But before he could think about it further, the deep voice of the family head, Fu Shoude, rang out: "What are you all making a scene about here?"

Fu Haoren and the others trembled and made way for him. Fu Shoude's gaze flashed over Fu Mingxu's blood-stained blue robe, but he seemed not to have seen it and said, "Mingxu, come with me."

Fu Mingxu remembered exactly what would happen next. He didn't even glance at Fu Haoren, just nodded slightly, but suddenly stopped as he passed by him and said, "Fu Haoren, aren't you going to come and see?"

Fu Haoren thought he was showing off, and the slight guilt he had felt earlier vanished instantly. His voice became even sharper: "Patriarch, Fu Mingxu stole Shanqing's marriage. You should send him to the punishment hall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the others standing next to him changed immediately. Fu Shoude's aura hardened, and his voice was unreadable as he asked, "Who told you that?"

Fu Haoren didn't notice the change in his expression and pointed smugly to the people around him: "Them!"

"Pfft." Fu Mingxu finally couldn't help but laugh, and said mockingly, "Fu Haoren, you really are stupid. Don't you know the current situation of City Lord Han Tao? Do I need to snatch this marriage?"

In just a few words, Fu Shoude pieced together the whole story and rebuked, "Nonsense!"

Before Fu Haoren could argue, he said sternly, "You come with us to the front hall." His gaze fell on the others like a knife. "This is a one-time exception. This time, you will all go to the punishment hall to receive your punishment."

As soon as the words "Hall of Punishment" were uttered, the others were dragged away by the servants before they could even beg for mercy. Fu Haoren was shocked, but when he met the eyes of his uncle, he dared not utter a sound, his eyes fixed on Fu Mingxu.

Fu Mingxu let him look him over, and instead chuckled, "The patriarch is still the most imposing."

Fu Shoude, who usually ruled the room with absolute authority, was unusually calm and composed. His eyes were deep and serious. In the blink of an eye, he led the two men to the front hall of the Fu family mansion.

When the three arrived, there were already three people waiting in the front hall. Besides Fu Shanqing and his family of three, there was Fu Haoren's father, Fu Luwei, who had come after receiving a message from the head of the family.

"You unfilial son! It's bad enough that you play around all day without knowing when to advance or retreat! You even fell
