288 Love Tribulations (1/2)
Firecrackers erupted as the joyous wedding proceeded.
”First bow to the Heaven and Earth! Second bow to the parents! Spouses bow to each other….”
Under the master of ceremonies' address, the newlyweds bowed to each other and were sent for consummation.
Donned in a wedding garb emblazoned with red silk across his chest, the groom lifted the bride's veil with a jade ornament. Adorned in a grand phoenix tiara and wedding shawl, the belle's indescribable beauty radiated under the red candle lights with a tinge of shyness.
”My lady!”
”My husband!”
As the wedding candles extinguished, nothing could be heard.
...
Out of the blue, the scene changed.
A wedding entourage was happily celebrating, as the bride inside the marriage sedan wept.
Suddenly, as they travelled across a hill, the bride jumped out of the marriage sedan as though she was crazy and dashed towards the tombstone beside the road.
She took off her ceremonious wedding dress to reveal a solemn mourning dress.
”Lady, please don't!”
The matchmaker and the sedan porter were utterly shocked as they looked at the bride wield a dagger in front of the grave, with her face covered in tears.
”If we can't be together when alive, then I rather be buried together in death!”
The bride appeared resolute as she caressed the tombstone. All of a sudden, she rammed her head into it and a stream of blood flowed down the tombstone.
The tombstone cracked open and two butterflies seemingly fluttered out.
....
Abruptly, the scene changed yet again, now to a dangerous mountain peak.
A young couple was being hunted down by a large group of martial arts experts. Both of them wielded swords, and the woman had an infant swaddled in her arms.
”Father!”
As the young woman turned back to look at a senior, a sorrowful expression appeared on her face, ”Brother Tian and I are sincerely in love, in this two hundred over years the two families have been feuding with each other as mortal enemies, how many people have died by now? Isn't that enough?”
”Outrageous! Even if you marry a dog or a pig it's still better than marrying this guy!”
The senior was seething with rage as he spoke, ”I rather not have such a daughter. Perhaps, I should have drowned you back then!”
”Master…”
The young man looked at his side's people with a forced smile.
The two sides had been in a bloody brawl for hundreds of years. This time, because of the two lovers themselves, they finally joined forces for once.
”Sigh..., you should just take your own life!”
The master directly declared. It was rare for either of the two sides to be in agreement with their enemies.
”Sister Mei, have you ever regretted before?”
The young man laughed and looked at his wife.
”I have no complaints and no regrets! As long as I am with you, Brother Tian, I will never regret!”
Not long after, a bloody battle erupted…
...
Da Qian Empire.
It was a cold night. The black roc beast let out a loud, abrupt caw and sped up, with its back still steady.
Inside a covert room in Black Roc Inn, Black Roc suddenly opened his eyes, ”Array? Dream Entering?”
Although he was supposed to respect the dream masters' privacy, he was allowed to monitor them if they were attacking each other in their dreams.
After looking at the room number, it was all clear, with a slight headache, ”As long as the issues between the Realm Alliance and the Divine Lotus Cult don't cause too much action and disturb others, I better care less to avoid being implicated!”
”Eh?”
Moments later, he wondered, ”Can't believe the Reserve Divine Lady has such a high tiered treasure, this means the Dream Master is in danger. Hopefully, the issues don't become big problems…”
Luckily, the two rooms were still relatively peaceful and he could finally be slightly at ease.
However, a short while later, his expression changed yet again.
He was shocked to see Liu Mengmei coming out from his room, arriving in front of Fang Yuan's room.
Such Sky numbered rooms had a Spiritual Will Imprint on it that could grant limited control powers. As the door squeaked open, it was evident that the person in the room had granted her permission to enter.
Liu Mengmei hesitated a short while before entering the room.
The events thereafter were what he could not see.
Although he was really curious to know who won during this confrontation, he knew if he were to rashly intrude, he would definitely be discovered and this would foster animosity.
”Perhaps, they are evenly matched and might even make peace?”
Perplexed, Black Roc stroked his chin.
...
”You came!”
Inside the room, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged, smiling without saying anything.
