Chapter 636 - Golden Dragon Realm

"Let me repeat myself just in case you missed it'¦" Min Yide cleared his throat and continued.

"Min Li has left the Min Family, so she is no longer part of our family. I'm sorry, but we will have to cancel the wedding between Min Li and Gu Tao," he said, speaking in a clearer tone this time.

Once they snapped out of their daze, Gu Tao screamed loudly, "Bullshit! I am not going to cancel the wedding! Where did she go?! I will bring her back myself if I have to!"

"My son is right, Min Yide. We have already expended too many resources on this wedding, and news of the wedding has already spread everywhere. If we cancel it now, both of our families be laughingstocks for the rest of the century! Do you really want that to happen?!"

Min Yide merely sighed at their words and said, "I understand your feelings and anger, but there is truly nothing I can do in this situation. As for bringing her back'¦ That's also not possible."

"Nonsense! Tell me where she is and I will bring her back even if it's by force!" Gu Tao shouted.

Min Yide glared at Gu Tao for a moment before responding in a low voice, "Stairway to Heaven'¦ If you really want to bring her back, you can find her at the Stairway to Heaven. However, don't say I didn't warn you. You really don't want to offend them."

"Them? Who are you talking about? And why on earth would she be going to the Stairway to Heaven? She's only a Spirit Warrior!" The head of the Gu Family frowned.

However, Min Yide turned around and began walking away, "I wish you the best of luck. Once again, I apologize for this inconvenience."

"This isn't over yet, Min Yide!"

The Gu Family left the place shortly after, and they were still fuming in anger after they left.

"Are we going to go to the Stairway to Heaven now?" Gu Tao asked his father.

"Obviously! We cannot let this marriage end in such a ridiculous manner! We are bringing her back even if we have to drag her back!"

Thus, the Gu Family began making their way to the Stairway to Heaven instead of going home, still unaware of the full situation.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Min Family, Min Li asked Yuan, "Are we heading straight to the Stairway to Heaven right now?"

"Actually, there's still one more place I want to visit before leaving the Lower Heavens," he said.

"The Pang City."

"Eh? Why that place? If I remember correctly, that is just a small city with no significance." Min Li said.

Hearing her question, Yuan retrieved the Starry Abyss and said, "This Starry Abyss was given to me by them, and it has been very useful to me, so I want to thank them before leaving. Also, I promised to eat with them again."

"I-Is that so'¦"

Thus, Yuan and the others began making their way towards Pang City.

On their way there, Yuan received a couple of sudden notifications.

'Golden Dragon Realm? What kind of place is that and how do I access it?' Yuan pondered to himself as they moved closer and closer to the Pang City.

A few hours later, they arrived at Pang City.

'I wonder if anything has changed since I left'¦' Yuan wondered to himself as they approached the guards at the city entrance.

"Hm?" The guards quickly noticed Yuan because of his exquisite Golden Dragon Robe and the beauties by his side.

"What a lucky bastard, surrounded by beauties on all sides'¦"

"Right? Hm? Wait a second'¦ He looks familiar'¦"

"W-Wait! That's'”!"

It took a couple of moments, but the guards recognized Yuan.

"It's the hero! Our Pang City's hero is back!" The guards began celebrating for some reason.

Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw the guards that had been guarding the gates suddenly leave their post to run in their direction.

"Hero! Welcome back to Pang City, Hero!" The guards began waving and shouting at him once they were in range.

"What the?" Yuan was baffled by their weird behavior.

Once they were in front of Yuan, the guards suddenly kneeled on the ground, which baffled him even further.

"What are you guys doing?" Yuan asked them.

"Hero! Please! We'” the Pang City requires your help again!"

"Please save us, Hero!"

The guards cried out loud in a pleading manner.

"What?"

Although Yuan was still confused about the situation, he could feel an ominous aura in the air.

"What happened?" He asked them with a deep frown on his face.

"It would be for the best if the Luo Family explains it to you. Please, follow me."

Yuan nodded, "Take me to the Luo Family immediately."
