Chapter 1829: Chapter 1809: Jun Lin and Xiyan_1 Chapter 1829: Chapter 1809: Jun Lin and Xiyan_1 “Even so, I don't wish to choose a bride.”
Jun Lin remained steadfast in his views: “I won't rush into an engagement until I meet a woman who captures my heart.”
“How will you know if those girls are suitable if you don't choose a bride?”
The Immortal Emperor, with displeasure in his eyes: “The fact that the Tian Clan has few descendants is not good for the Immortal Court. You are the Imperial Grandson and carry heavy responsibilities. You must settle an engagement soon, and not behave like your Second Uncle, being leisurely and doing as pleased.”
“Second Uncle travels to different worlds and enjoys his freedom.”
Jun Lin murmured resentfully: “He's so carefree, much better than my father and Third Uncle who are trapped in the Immortal Palace, leading uneventful lives.”
“Don't you dare follow his example.”
The Immortal Emperor's hand paused as he was stroking his beard. Thinking about his three unaccomplished sons made him angry enough to almost pluck a hair from his beard: “I have made my decision. I will make you the Crown Prince, succeeding the throne.”
“No way, Imperial Grandfather.”
Jun Lin's heart trembled, shock apparent in his eyes: “To pass over my father and uncles, and make me the Crown Prince, that's against the rules.”
“I am the ruler of the Immortal Realm.”
The Immortal Emperor's aura was imposing as he glared: “In the Immortal Realm, my words are law. What I say is the rule.”
“Imperial Grandfather.”
A bitter taste filled the corners of Jun Lin's mouth; he wanted to argue some more.
“There is no need for further discussion.”
The Immortal Emperor waved his hand, interrupting him: “The matter of choosing a bride is settled. Nothing can be changed.”
“Ah.”
Jun Lin hung his head in defeat, sighing deeply.

Guangming Immortal Palace, Immortal Herbs Garden.
A snow-white Jade Rabbit hopped to a magical herb and bit into a ripe, radiant berry.
The sweet and sour berry was so tasty that it continued to munch on some more after eating one.
“Hey, hey, young one, this is a Dragon Scales Fruit.”
Jun Lin happened to pass by, grabbing the munching Jade Rabbit by the ears.
“Dragon Scales Fruit blossoms only once every three thousand years and fruits once every three thousand years. After the fruit ripens, it takes another three thousand years to mature into an Immortal Pill that can resurrect the Flesh and Bones of the Living Dead. And you're eating it like it's just a fruit?”
“Puff.”
The hanging Jade Rabbit, uncomfortable with its paws suspended in mid-air, struggled and spat, its saliva landing on his face.
The saliva was sweet from the fruit juice, staining Jun Lin's handsome face red.
“Cough, cough.”
He wiped the saliva off, glared at the Jade Rabbit, and for a moment, wanted to roast it.
Seemingly aware of its mistake, the Jade Rabbit struggled with its paws, trying to wriggle free.
“You want to run?”
After glowering at the foolishly cute Jade Rabbit for a few seconds, Jun Lin suddenly smirked, holding it by the ears and tossing it into the air.
“Ahhhhhh.”
The Jade Rabbit let out a series of shrieks as it flew into the air and then fell back down.
“Hehe.”
Jun Lin was just teasing the Jade Rabbit, not really planning on roasting it. Instinctively, he reached out to catch it.
A flash of gold light passed by. The Jade Rabbit disappeared, turning into an ethereally beautiful girl.
“Smack.”
The moment the girl landed, she did not hesitate to slap him.
Jun Lin's right cheek flushed a noticeable red, with five distinct finger marks.
“How dare you hit…”
He was about to protest when he saw the girl's beautiful face, and stopped midway.
“Xiyan?!”
His little heart fluttered with shock. The majestic Imperial Grandson was stammering in surprise.
“Yes, I hit you.”
Xiyan, who had been teased by him, was holding a belly full of anger. She rushed over with her fists flying again.
“Hey, hey, hey, Xiyan, stop hitting. Let me explain, I didn't know it was you…”
Jun Lin, not daring to fight back, dodged her punches while covering his head, wailing non-stop.
