Antagonist: My Destiny Is To Prosper With My Wife, Ultimately Becoming The Boss.

This world also reaches adulthood at the age of eighteen.

According to tradition, the coming-of-age ceremony for a prince is a grand event and should be celebrated in a splendid manner.

However, considering Ji Changsheng's actual situation, Emperor Dayu decided to change his coming-of-age ceremony into a simple family banquet.

Emperor Dayu's name is Ji Hongyuan, and he is commonly known as Emperor Yu by outsiders.

Despite being over eight hundred years old, he appears to be in his forties, just like an ordinary person.

He possesses the cultivation of a Kunxing Realm Divine King.

In the Xuanhuang World, this already makes him a super powerhouse who can easily defeat great powers with a wave of his hand.

Ji Hongyuan sat in the central seat, exuding an extraordinary aura while wearing a smile full of kindness on his face.

His feelings towards Ji Changsheng are quite complicated.

On one hand, Ji Changsheng has been reckless and indulgent, solely focused on enjoying life, to the point that at the age of eighteen, he is still just an ordinary mortal, infamous far and wide.

Both Emperor Yu and the entire Dayu Imperial Family have been greatly humiliated because of him.

But on the other hand, Ji Changsheng's attitude of not competing or fighting for anything brings him great joy and love.

As the saying goes, the most heartless ones are those from the imperial family.

Ji Changsheng's non-competitive and non-aggressive attitude has made the imperial family lose some of their heartlessness and indifference, and gain some affection and warmth.

Everyone in the imperial family feels relaxed and at ease when interacting with Ji Changsheng.

There is no need for calculations or hypocrisy.

"Changsheng, from today onwards, you are an adult. May the Emperor bless you with all your wishes and a worry-free life!"

Since it is a family banquet, everything is casual.

Ji Hongyuan was the first to send his blessings to Ji Changsheng, casually presenting a small gift.

"Changsheng, the Empress also wishes you all the best and a safe life!"

Queen Su Yuechan followed, and also presented her own gift.

She is not Ji Changsheng's biological mother.

Just because Ji Changsheng's mother passed away shortly after he was born, she became Ji Changsheng's foster mother.

Years of nurturing, coupled with Ji Changsheng's lack of threat to her son's position as the crown prince, she genuinely loved Ji Changsheng.

Afterwards, there were more than ten concubines who had given birth to daughters for the Feather Emperor, who also sent their blessings and gifts.

Next...

It was the eight older brothers led by Crown Prince Ji Changsheng, as well as some prince consorts and nine sisters, along with a few attached horses, who successively sent their blessings and gifts.

Ancient people were very fond of and particular about the number nine.

So not only did Ji Changsheng have nine brothers, but he also had exactly nine sisters.

Ji Changsheng thanked and received each one.

These gifts were all trivial things for mortals, not of much use, but they were all peculiar and rare.

It can be seen that the family had put a lot of thought into his coming-of-age ceremony.

In Ji Changsheng's heart, he was happy and warm.

Afterwards, the whole family toasted and enjoyed themselves.

After three rounds of drinking.

Feather Emperor Ji Hongyuan suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Changsheng, now that you have come of age, you should have some plans for your future, right?"

"Can you tell Father?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Ji Changsheng with great concern.

They all wanted to know what kind of future he would plan for himself, since he neither competed nor cultivated.

Ji Changsheng felt delighted in his heart.

I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!

So I immediately spoke up, "Father, Mother, I now only want to marry a beautiful and talented wife."

"Well..." Emperor Yu's expression froze.

He never expected Ji Changsheng to make such a request.

For someone like Ji Changsheng, it would be very simple to marry a beautiful wife.

But if he also wanted her to be talented, that would not be easy.

After all, this is a cultivation world where strength is paramount.

Indeed, marrying the Ninth Prince of the Great Yu Empire would definitely bring abundant resources.

But it would also mean contributing to the royal family's lineage.

In the absence of emotional foundation, which heavenly pride would willingly let an ordinary mortal ride on her and act recklessly?

Cultivation is not something that can be done recklessly with resources alone.

If one feels stifled and their thoughts are not clear, even the best aptitude would be difficult to achieve anything.

Therefore, true cultivation geniuses would never compromise themselves by marrying an ordinary mortal.

Unless they were forcibly coerced through force and power.

But if that were the case, not only would the reputation of the Great Yu Empire be damaged, but it would also become a huge joke in the entire cultivation world.

That would be a complete loss!

"Changsheng, is this your only request?"

The unspoken meaning: Can you change your request?

Ji Changsheng nodded earnestly, "Father, this is my only request!"

Ji Hongyuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Can you tell the emperor why you want a beautiful and talented wife?"

"After all, you should know that it's not easy given your situation."

Ji Changsheng stated the reason he had long thought of, "Because my older brothers and sisters have all grown up, and they are busy with their own affairs most of the time. There's no one to accompany me."

"I'm too bored alone!"

"And as for why I request a genius, it's because my cultivation talent is too low. I don't want future generations to be like me, living a mediocre life."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hongyuan's heart trembled.

Apart from feeling gratified, he felt more pain and guilt.

If it weren't for the end of the Dharma era and the difficulty of changing one's innate talent, even if he had to travel to the ends of the earth, he would have definitely changed Ji Changsheng's destiny.

In the end, he solemnly agreed, "Alright, I will help you, my son."

Ji Changsheng was overjoyed and stood up, bowing with his hands clasped, "Thank you, Father!"

On the side, Empress Su Yuechan smiled with satisfaction and indulgence, "Changsheng, you have indeed grown up and understand what responsibility and duty mean!"

Crown Prince Ji Changsheng said, "Ninth brother, I never expected that you would be the first to take up the important task of expanding the royal family. Your determination puts me to shame."

Second Prince Ji Changming followed, "Ninth brother, you are our role model!"

Eldest Princess Ji Changjun swore, "Ninth brother, rest assured, Eldest Princess will also help you."

Second Princess Ji Changning said, "And me, and me, Second Princess has many good sisters too."

...

The family was harmonious and happy.
