Chapter 139: Marriage
"Uh, Auntie, in that case, I want to ask if I can use military merits to exchange for Abyss Cores and Pollution Cores?" Shen Fei seized the opportunity.
With my own information and channels, collecting Abyss Cores is quite simple, all I need to do is kill Abyssal Creatures.
Anyway, at the Abyss Edge and the Abyss, there’s nothing more abundant than Abyssal Creatures.
But Pollution Cores are different.
There’s no specific intel on Pollution Cores, making them really hard to find. Before, it was only by directly taking the fruits from the Demon Organization that this happened.
After all, only they might have special methods to find more Pollution Cores.
Some Pollution Cores are even brought from the Abyss by them.
Zhu Xiao uttered an "Mm," "I will report it up. I’ll talk to Han Min about it, but a part of the Breaking Abyss Army’s supplies needs to be used to create replicas.
We can only find some that are almost impossible to seal for you.
However, for now, only Han Min, me, and Dusk Rain know, and only when you have enough ability to protect yourself will it be widely publicized within the Breaking Abyss Army.
After all, most of the Breaking Abyss Army sees the Abyss as their mortal enemy, though it’s not like there aren’t those who have been corrupted by demons."
"To avoid too many people talking, and also there are radicals within the Breaking Abyss Army, the fact that you can devour Pollution Cores might touch on their sensitive points."
Shen Fei expressed his understanding.
"Shall we head back now?"
"Mm, by the way."
Zhu Xiao suddenly called out to the departing Shen Fei and Su Muyu, thinking Zhu Xiao had more instructions, Shen Fei heard Zhu Xiao say: "You two be careful, Even though Wu Xia encourages fertility, you both still have school, and this time is best for improving your strengths.
Don’t end up with a life created.
Professionals might be harder to get pregnant, but it doesn’t mean they can’t, so necessary precautions should still be taken."
Su Muyu’s face froze for a second and flushed red instantly, like a cherry tomato.
Shen Fei scratched his head and said, "Will be careful, will be careful."
Su Muyu gave Shen Fei a light slap, nothing much had happened in the first place.
Now this guy, even responding makes it seem like they’d done something.
"Why so nervous? It’s just some advice from the elders to you," Zhu Xiao laughed and waved a hand, "Alright, off you go."
"Also, the surrounding demons should not have any major actions anymore. Once things are sorted out, I might be leaving here. I’ll be waiting for you in the Imperial University."
"Okay!"
...
After Shen Fei and Su Muyu returned home, Su Muyu glared at Shen Fei, "What was that ’will be careful’ earlier? We hadn’t even done anything."
"The things we’ve done can’t lead to pregnancy anyway."
"Hehe, wasn’t it just to appease Auntie?"
"Is that how you appease?" Su Muyu breathed out, sat on the couch, peeked at Shen Fei who was in a daze, then suddenly asked in a small voice: "Do you really want to?"
"Ah?"
Shen Fei was still processing what Zhu Xiao had told him, then he smiled back and said, "Of course, I want you to be wholly mine, not that other thing."
"It should be based on what you want."
Su Muyu leaned against Shen Fei, "Actually, I want it too, but I’m a bit worried."
"Worried? Have I done something wrong that’s making you worry about our relationship?"
Shen Fei’s expression turned serious, even starting to reflect on his recent actions.
"Worried about the pain! I saw on those short videos, it is painful. It even compares to childbirth in that instant of pain."
"Ah?"
Shen Fei was bewildered, scared of pain?
What kind of reason is that, but he couldn’t explain, or it’d make him seem impatient, so he spoke gently, "Why don’t you ask your friends?"
"I don’t have friends, they don’t want to befriend me." Su Muyu was a bit aggrieved.
Shen Fei was a bit at a loss, and could only whisper, "Actually, it doesn’t hurt that much, especially for Professionals, they’re naturally quite tough..."
"Really?"
Su Muyu frowned tightly, is what she worried about all along just misinformation?
But soon her face turned red again, "Can you wait until I’m mentally ready?"
"Of course. Why this topic suddenly?"
"Just heard Auntie mention it today, and I heard many couples, after awakening their Profession, who are together for three years do everything they can."
"You can get married at adulthood."
Su Muyu felt a bit shy.
Shen Fei hugged Su Muyu’s shoulder, and said: "It all depends on your will. Don’t overthink, let things take their natural course. If you want to get married, we can get married too.
Just that we might not be staying in Shencheng City for long, may not have time for a wedding ceremony."
"The ceremony can wait, but we can get the marriage certificate first." Su Muyu quietly whispered.
Shen Fei was taken aback, "Didn’t you say before that you weren’t in a hurry?"
Why the sudden urge to get married.
He had asked Su Muyu before, although for Professionals, after marriage, Wu Xia’s legal restrictions are not as tight, and even monogamy isn’t enforced.
Some powerful Professionals, regardless of gender, can have multiple partners.
However, marriage still holds certain legal rights.
At least when it comes to inheritance and some benefits, the spouse status is central.
Su Muyu leaned into Shen Fei’s arms, her face blushing, pouting, "Before, I thought marriage meant doing the stuff, I was scared of the pain, so I thought I’d wait until I’m mentally ready before tying the knot."
Shen Fei didn’t expect it was actually due to this reason, these misleading marketing gimmicks are quite harmful.
"You, do you want to get married? If you want to, we can rest for a day, and get the certificate the day after tomorrow?"
Su Muyu excitedly nodded, "Okay!"
"In such a hurry to marry me?"
Shen Fei chuckled.
Su Muyu nodded repeatedly, "I’ve thought about it for a long, long time, and when we enter university, with brother Shen Fei’s excellence, there will be many suitors approaching him.
Once married, I can openly declare that brother Shen Fei is mine."
Shen Fei didn’t hesitate, nodded and smiled: "Sure."
Regarding marriage, Shen Fei never thought of anyone else.
Although in their three years of high school, they were just dating, Su Muyu was the one who accompanied him through the lowest emotional time.
This girl calmed his once injured heart with her gentleness.
Since that moment when Su Muyu kissed him in public, he knew he wouldn’t fall for anyone else.
