Translator: 549690339

If this matter wasn’t clarified properly, it could lead to all sorts of misunderstandings. It’s not that Tang Luo had any prejudices against homosexuality. Based on the information he got from the Wind Media Department, there were quite a few family branch heads in the Tang Clan who favored men. Despite having wives and children, these people spent their nights in the rooms of the boys they bought, submerging themselves in homosexual pleasure. For these men, marriage and procreation were merely means to continue their lineage while their true affections laid with the boys they bought.

But Tang Luo himself was a genuine straight man, and he certainly didn’t want his mother to misunderstand.

Watching her son deny the accusation seriously, Xu Shuhui sighed in relief: “That’s good.”

Her previous claim that the practice was common was only to comfort Tang Luo. While snobles did indulge in the company of men, such people were generally scorned by society, their reputations tarnished beyond imagining. Even those who held high positions in society were depicted as monsters behind their backs. She didn’t want her son to fall into such a situation. Satisfied with his answer, she prepared to discuss more pressing matters: “Your mother is looking to arrange a bridal candidate for you.” Bridal candidate? Tang Luo looked at Xu Shuhui in confusion.

“Mother, why the urgency?”

According to common practice, he was only fifteen now. Even though most martial artists married after reaching the Mortal Realm, his current lowered realm made him wonder why his mother was so eager to arrange a marriage for him.

Xu Shuhui took Tang Luo’s hands, her eyes filled with pity: “My son, I never doubt that you will have a remarkable life, making waves. But I am worried that you have no one to share your achievements with, and in the future, there will be no one to confide your worries to.”

The greatest sorrow in life is loneliness. At the moment, Tang Luo was consumed by his passion for martial arts, always declining her attempts to arrange concubines for his chambers and showing no interest in attending ritual events at Miaoyin Square. He even requested to be secluded in practice, even at his current age. Xu Shuhui was gravely worried that if this continued, he would spend his entire life in solitude, with martial arts as his only companion. Ultimately, dying alone.

The concern of relatives is always straightforward: they want you to be truly happy, Without the slightest mishap. So, she was eager to arrange a marriage for her son, believing that if he had children, he would have more opportunities to experience happiness.

Tang Luo could feel his mother’s overflowing love for him, just like the warmth and strength of the hand she was holding now. But for this matter, he couldn’t let her have her way.

Laying his right hand on his mother’s, Tang Luo gently answered: “Mother, I understand your wishes. However, this matter is not of immediate concern. I believe I will find the woman I love, marry her, just like how father fell in love with you.”

Hearing her son speak this way, Xu Shuhui felt simultaneously worried and joyful. The most fortunate thing in her life was meeting Tang Sen. Sometimes, in her half-asleep state, she would be afraid that all of this was but a dream. However, when she would wake up to the sight of her husband who she’d kicked to the edge of their bed, she would be reassured of her happiness.

She and Tang Sen were truly in love. Hearing her son use their relationship as a standard filled her with immense pride!

However, she was also painfully aware of how hard it was to find a loved one. With a tender touch to her son’s face, she asked worryingly: “What if you can’t find a loved one?”

“Then, I guess I simply won’t find one.” Tang Luo laughed carelessly. Regarding this matter, he wasn’t very confident.

The simpler one’s requirements, the easier it is to find a partner, because such people have few demands for themselves and others, or rather, their demands are straightforward, and these can be easily fulfilled.

However, having lived two lives, he bore a complexity that was hard to express to others. Even his own parents only saw him as precocious, ignorant of all the burdens he carried within him.

Sometimes, he wished that he could have a carefree temperament, so he could cast aside all his worries and enjoy a little more happiness.

Because he was more afraid than Xu Shuhui that everything around him was a dream. He was afraid that this world was a dream, that his martial arts was unreal, and that even the relatives who had claimed a place in his heart were just a figment of his imagination. This was why he obsessed over martial arts. He couldn’t think of any other way to secure this beautiful dream.

For someone harboring so many secrets and who had faced the terror of life and death, loving another person appeared to be an insurmountable challenge. So, finding a loved one… he really wasn’t confident.

Although he wasn’t sure if he could find a partner, Tang Luo was clear about his bottom line. He certainly had no objections to romantic relations between men and women, and appreciated the company of beautiful women.

If he couldn’t find a lover in the future, he would still possesses beautiful women, but that would be something to consider after crossing the Fierce Realm. He wanted to make sure that he would never have children with someone he did not love. The idea of a child calling him “father” and a woman he didn’t love “mother” was something he could not accept. The very thought of it dissipated his desire to indulge in pleasure. Therefore, he had to refuse his mother’s idea of arranging a marriage for him.

Even before discussing it with Tang Luo, Xu Shuhui had a hunch that he would refuse. However, she still wanted to try. Seeing her prediction ctrue, she tried to persuade him: “But you’re the oldest son. How are you going to continue the family lineage and keep the family fire burning?”

Without a partner, there would be no descendants. The situation was developing in the worst direction she had imagined. Her last effort was to persuade Tang Luo by invoking the importance of continuing the family line, though she knew this argument was unlikely to succeed.

“Why would you worry about the family line…”

Just as she expected, Tang Luo’s face was filled with a smile: “Just wait and see. Considering how much of a womanizer my brother is, I suspect that sooner or later there won’t be enough room in our house for all his women. So, let him take on the responsibility of producing offspring, and put your mind at ease.” “Smack!” Xu Shuhui’s hand that was caressing Luo’s face landed on his head, she laughed and scolded him: “Who talks about their brother like that?” She wanted to be serious, but thinking about her youngest son, she couldn’t help but laugh. At just eleven, he not only had a mistress but was also rumored to be entangled with a girl named Tang Zhen.

When they exited the Spirit Realm Gate, their hands were tightly clasped together and had remained that way even when they were unconscious. The infirmary had no option but to arrange them in the sroom. Perhaps as Tang Luo had said, given his younger brother’s promiscuous nature, by the tthe older brother found his mate, his nephews would already be in their teens.

This matter had been discussed and it was tto bring up another important issue.

When she remembered the report from Chang Fu in the morning, she grew angry: “When your father returns, I will make sure he questions the Clan Society. Based on your contributions to the Tang Clan, there is no reason they should revoke your Elder status!”

Xu Shuhui wasn’t defending her son blindly. If it hadn’t been for Tang Luo’s efforts, they wouldn’t have been able to subdue Ji Fu nor secure the endless supply of resources from the Minor Spiritual Realm. In order to save the Tang Clan’s most promising martial artist, Tang Luo even risked his own life, dissipating his abilities to enter the realm and defeat the Blood God army, thus saving everyone.

Months ago, he even earned the Tang Clan an annual supply of three million spirit medical herbs. His contributions justified an Elder status, but it had been revoked just because he hadn’t handed over the improved martial techniques for a few months. Xu Shuhui couldn’t accept this..
