Chapter 94: The Grand Wedding, Fei Lingxue Crashes the Ceremony - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real
Chapter 94: The Grand Wedding, Fei Lingxue Crashes the Ceremony [With Kong Bing's assistance, you've employed many government artisans, transforming the entire Su Mansion over the course of two months.] [During this time, you've pursued Kong Bing with fervor.] [You are handsome, wealthy, and skilled in martial arts, generously spending on women. Kong Bing, the goddess-like detective with no experience in romance, quickly falls for you.] [You both enjoy a wonderful time together, though Kong Bing is quite conservative. Beyond a few kisses and hugs, she insists on waiting until marriage for anything further.] [You're now twenty-five, and with such a beauty by your side, you wish to propose to Kong Bing.] [The Kong family is renowned in Jiangnan for their wealth, but Kong Bing was raised in the Divine Constabulary, and her bond with her master, Li Dingtian, surpasses that with her own parents.] [Therefore, for Kong Bing to marry, she must first seek her master's approval.] [Li Dingtian's investigation of a significant case might take over a month, so you start hiring for the Su Mansion.] [You plan to restore the Su family's former glory.] [Upon hearing about the hiring at the Su Mansion, coupled with your growing fame in the martial world, many people come to apply.] [You soon fill the positions for guards, maidservants, and cooks.] [However, you notice these new hires are quite lazy.] [Having learned how to manage subordinates from a young age, you quickly whip them into shape within half a month.] [They become diligent and attentive.] [About half a month later, Li Dingtian arrives, and you meet the renowned "Divine Dragon of the Clouds," the top detective of the martial world.] [A towering figure clad in official attire, his severe expression seems intense.] [Yet, upon seeing you, Li Dingtian’s demeanor softens, revealing a rare touch of warmth.] "You resemble my brother Su from his youth by seventy percent." "And you have an even greater aura, likely due to some natural harmonizing cultivation techniques." [You respond quickly.] "Uncle Li, you have a sharp eye. I do practice some energy-nurturing techniques." [Then you summon Kong Bing, holding her hand in front of Li Dingtian.] "Uncle Li, I wish to marry Kong Bing, and I hope for your blessing." [Li Dingtian is momentarily surprised, then looks at the bashful Kong Bing, understanding clearly.] "Haha, my perceptive nephew." "My disciple has always had high standards. I didn’t expect you to win her heart." "Master!" "Don’t talk about me like that." [Kong Bing grips your hand tightly.] "Hahaha!" [Li Dingtian laughs heartily.] "She really is a grown woman who can’t be kept." "In that case, no need to delay. I agree to my disciple's marriage, three days from now." [You're a bit taken aback.] "What about Kong Bing's parents? Shouldn’t we inform them?" [Li Dingtian shakes his head.] "Their businesses have grown over the years. They haven’t visited the Divine Constabulary in ages." "Inform them after the wedding!" [You glance at Kong Bing. Her saddened expression confirms Li Dingtian's words.] [You decide not to press further.] "If that’s the case, I will follow Uncle Li’s wishes!" "Good!" [Li Dingtian laughs freely.] "Then I shall serve as your senior elder." "I never had children, yet this fate brings me such happiness!" ... [News of your impending marriage to Kong Bing spreads quickly across the martial world.] [Tales abound of you, the last of the Su family, your extraordinary martial skills the talk of the town, while Kong Bing gets little mention.] [People are captivated by your display of power at Mount Jiuhua, exaggerated further by a talented storyteller, becoming almost legendary.] [The tales even suggest you single-handedly defeated a hundred members of the Qingmen Sect.] [Despite some skepticism, repetition turns the tale into truth, boosting your fame.] [Thus, on your wedding day, numerous martial artists attend, most drawn by your reputation.] [Li Dingtian, to ensure safety, invites people from Yaowang Valley to oversee and check for poison in the food.] [The Su Mansion is adorned with red lanterns and banners, bursting with joyous energy.] [At dusk, the ceremony formally begins.] [You're dressed in red wedding attire, while Kong Bing wears a green silk cape, adorned with a headpiece of emerald and gold.] [Jewels and floral patterns adorn her, along with a red veil.] [As the call for the first bow to heaven and earth sounds, a loud voice interrupts.] "Hold on!" [Attendees turn to the voice, while you, annoyed, wonder who would disrupt the ceremony.] [You see Fei Lingxue approach, surrounded by martial artists in exotic costumes.] [Some recognize those around Fei Lingxue.] "That’s Liu Qiezi!" "Rumor has it he had a paralyzed right leg as a child but developed unmatched left-leg skills through sheer determination." "He can split stones with a kick, clear paths with his foot, immensely powerful!" "But ten years ago, Liu Qiezi was poisoned by his wife and her lover, losing his skills and vanishing from sight. Yet, here he is today." "And that’s the monk Ku E, aka the Corpse Monk. He allegedly went mad after secretly learning Shaolin’s Yijinjing. To survive, he grafted a millennium-old corpse’s skin onto his body." "Surprisingly, this allowed him to master the technique, reaching a state of invincibility." "The downside is he must regularly consume fresh blood, or his qi will turn chaotic, leading to death." "Though Shaolin’s great monk Du E supposedly killed him, where did he come from now?" "Also present are Baigu Guanyin, Yumei Fox, Chun Shiniang, Laughing Monk, and the Bloodhand Butcher Sha Jiu You!" "Those I don’t recognize yet seem formidable." "With so many renowned martial artists as her escort, who is that woman in the center!" [Li Dingtian steps forward.] "Today is the wedding of my disciple and the son of a dear friend. If you come to celebrate, you are welcome." "If not, I ask you to leave!" [An eerie voice responds from the other side.] "Why would we lack places to drink?" "Today we come to seek justice for our sect leader!" "Justice?" "What justice do you seek?" [Chun Shiniang turns to you.] "You over there, do you recall the vows with our sect’s leader?" "Today, you marry another. Was everything you said meaningless?" [Hearing Chun Shiniang, you look at Fei Lingxue’s affectionate eyes, recalling the nonsense you uttered during past passionate moments.] [In the heat of the moment, people might say anything, but you didn’t think she’d take it seriously.] [Yet, if you don’t marry Kong Bing, who knows how long Fei Lingxue might evade you.] [Thoughts of your family’s massacre fill you with rage; such vows mean nothing!] "What vows?" "I recall no promises!" "Are you lot from the Bloodshirt Tower? Was it your doing that wiped out my family!" [Sha Jiu You burst into a harsh laugh at your accusations.] "We acknowledge the act." "But your family didn’t die miserably. They breathed their last with smiles from the Joyous Powder’s effects." [Your anger becomes uncontrollable.] "They didn’t die. How could you know if they were happy?" [You extend your hand, aiming at Sha Jiu You!] [Fueled by fury, your strike is unstoppable.] [Nobody can defend against your sudden assault.] [In an instant, Sha Jiu You’s body explodes, flesh scattering, leaving no chance of survival!] [Witnessing Sha Jiu You’s fate, the crowd turns pale, silenced by fear.] [Fei Lingxue, surrounded by a qi shield, remains untouched by the gore.] [Seeing this, the martial artists present are visibly moved.] "He’s reached the innate realm of Saint Unity!" "The word was that the last member of the Su family had reached such heights, but now we see a young woman at this same level!" "In decades, not a single person reached this realm, and suddenly there are two." "Is the Saint Unity Realm so easily achieved now?" "I don't know, but one thing's for certain: the martial world is about to become far more turbulent. We should prepare ourselves." "…" [Listening to the buzz around you, you can’t help but feel that Fei Lingxue is akin to a disaster.] [Just then, Fei Lingxue's eyes suddenly turn cold as she looks at you, and then shifts her gaze to those around her.] "No need to hesitate on my account." "Kill him!" [Upon hearing Fei Lingxue’s command, the renowned martial artists waste no time, all eleven of them rushing towards you.] [Worried about causing collateral damage, you leap several times, leading them to the back of Su Mansion.] [Now free to unleash your full power, you engage your pursuers with deadly force.] [Liu Qiezi’s leg is severed at the waist, the skin of the monk Ku E is torn off, and Chun Shiniang's abdomen is pierced…] [You have never taken so much pleasure in killing.] [Having learned these were your enemies, your heart feels no remorse.] [The corpses soon litter the empty mountainside.] [Watching your enemies fall, and glancing at your family’s graves, you suddenly feel like crying out loud.] [At this moment, Fei Lingxue approaches.] "I have brought you the twelve who massacred your Su family." [Staring at Fei Lingxue dressed in white, you start to feel something strange.] "Do you want me to thank you?" [Fei Lingxue looks back at you, sighing softly.] [Slightly smiling, though it seems to exhaust all her energy.] "I knew you'd never forgive me easily, this was all my own illusion." "It was my mistake." [Her eyes take on an unusual look, filled with tenderness yet tinged with farewell.] [She is about to leave, heading to a new world where she knows no one and is known by none.] [Suddenly, you sense something isn’t right.] "No!" [But it is too late.] [Fei Lingxue has already drawn a short dagger, and it rests against her swan-like neck.] [A bloom of blood appears, reminiscent of your first beautiful sight of her through the wall hole.] [Fei Lingxue's body begins to collapse, drained of all strength.] [You rush forward, catching her before she hits the ground, your face marked by sorrow, your heart overwhelmed by an infinite sadness, compressing tightly.] "Foolish woman!" "Stupid woman!" "Damn it!" [But in your anguish, you fail to notice the sly smile on Fei Lingxue’s lips.] [Soon after, a voice echoes softly.] "Remember, the prettier the woman, the more deceitful she can be." [Realization dawns too late as a sharp pain pierces your side, giving way to paralysis and darkness as you collapse.] [One thought echoes through your mind.] "Tricked by that woman again!!!"
