43 The Golden Clans Congregation (2/2)
Ye Jing was startled by her sudden request. She had actually known of the renown of the Heavenly Fragrance Princess for her beauty and grace was like a heavenly fairy. In fact, she had long idolized her and wished that she was as capable as her. She nodded eagerly, ”Why not? That is my wish as well!”
Feng Minyue smiled gently as she hugged her, ”Sister Ye Jing.”
Ye Jing answered, ”Sister Minyue!”
This sudden turn of event caused Xiaofang to look at Feng Minyue out of curiosity and even Elder Chu Yunfeng was startled as he took a look at Xiaofang.
Now Xuan Danfeng was looking a little awkward as these two juniors had suddenly become sisters. She smiled weakly for the very first time and lost her air of superiority, ”The three of us are the heavenly fairies of the celestial realm. Now that the two of you have become sisters, I am feeling so left out.”
Her intention was plain and did not need to be spelt out.
Feng Minyue smiled, ”If Sister Ye Jing does not mind, we can include you as our sister.”
Ye Jing was actually delighted to be acquainted with the Heavenly Fragrance Villa and the Lofty Snow Palace so she said without hesitation, ”Of course I don't mind. It is my honor to have two such wonderful sisters. Sister Xuan!”
Xuan Danfeng was really happy that she was not left out, ”Sister Ye Jing, Sister Minyue. It seems that this trip is not in vain after all.”
While they were talking, almost all the celestial clans were secretly looking in their directions. It was because for the three most heavenly maidens to be in the same place and were laughing together was really such a wondrous sight.
They were surprised that even the usually frosty and forbidden Heavenly Fragrance Princess Feng Minyue was actually smiling and the beauty of her smile immediately melted the hearts of many of the celestials who were secretly looking at her.
Suddenly the gossips of the congregation were slowly replaced by, ”Look over there. Isn't that the Heavenly Fragrance Princess, the Palace Mistress Xuan and the Holy Consort Ye? They are actually together…”
”What a wondrous sight. They are like three heavenly fairies that have descended from the immortal realm…”
”Look at that…someone has stepped out of that blue sedan behind them…and she is dazzling…”
”That is Yuan Chengzhi's bride?”
”It is…really a rare flower that is planted on Yuan Chengzhi that cow dung…”
Fan Yuqing had just stepped out of the blue sedan with Li'Er and her small group of retinue. She was smiling lovely as she said, ”Sister Ye Jing. Why didn't you tell me that you have two more sisters out of the blue? Shouldn't you at least inform your elder sister about it so that I can be mentally prepared?”
When Yuqing had appeared, the noise in the golden section had suddenly died down, followed by the curious looks that were in the silver section. It was as though her appearances could kill off thousands of noises.
Yuqing was dressed in an exquisite red wedding gown with golden phoenixes embroidered onto it. She was like a dazzling peerless goddess that had suddenly stepped into the mundane realm and her smiles were so heavenly striking that almost all the celestials were stopped dead in their tracks as they looked with stunned awe in her direction.
When Xuan Danfeng saw Yuqing, she could not believe that such a peerless maiden could exist. At first she had thought that this Saintess Yuqing may not be so beautiful after all or else she would not have lowered her status to marry Yuan Chengzhi. Now she had finally realized why Young Master Yun Xinghe and Young Master Yuan Chengzhi had fought so bitterly over her.
Even Feng Minyue was grasping softly as she put her hand over her mouth as she stared at the Saintess Yuqing, ”That…that's your sister?”
If they were heavenly fairies, then this sister of hers was a heavenly goddess!
”Hello, sisters. I am Fan Yuqing, ex-high priestess of the Heavenly Temple.” She smiled at Xuan Danfeng and Feng Minyue.
Xuan Danfeng found herself stammering as she looked at her, ”Hello dear sister…”
Even though she was a Sacred Saint but this Saintess Yuqing's aura was even more profound than her. She forced through a smile, ”I'm Lofty Snow Palace, Palace Mistress Xuan Danfeng. I wonder what the current stage of your cultivator level is now?”
Yuqing laughed softly, ”You can say that I am a peaked saintess.”
Peaked Sacred Saint!!
Xuan Danfeng and Feng Minyue were startled. Peaked Sacred Saint was virtually at the top of the celestial pecking order and commanded the highest respect in the celestial ream!
Xuan Danfeng smiled faintly, ”Then may Sister Yuqing please guide me in the future. I'm only at the initial stage of the Sacred Saint level.”
Feng Minyue gave a courtesy half bow as she said gently, ”Alas, I am just a peak golden celestial that is trying to attain to the Sacred Saint level. Unfortunately, even that half-step is too hard and my star may even fall from grace. Sister Yuqing, I am glad to be acquainted with you. I'm the Heavenly Fragrance Princess Feng Minyue…”
She paused for a while before she looked at Yuqing with a pleading look, ”I have heard that Sister Saintess you have given out a Rainbow Saint Pill just a few days ago. If you, if you…have another spare Rainbow Saint Pill, I will like to purchase directly from you…”
Then she emphasized, ”At any price that I am able to afford.”
When Xuan Danfeng heard her, she was a little startled. Now she finally realized why the usually cold and forbidden Feng Minyue would be so outgoing today. That was because she was now on a half-step into the Sacred Saint level. If she failed then her star would descend and that would be the end of her. She naturally did not want to die. No one really wants to die…
Saintess Yuqing smiled, ”I do have another one. Really at any price?”
Feng Minyue had an excited look on her countenance as she said firmly, ”At any price.”
Saintess Yuqing said in jest, ”Even if I want you to be my servant, you will do it?”
Feng Minyue was shocked when she had heard her. She lowered her gaze and said gently, ”If Sister saintess wants me to be your servant then I have no regrets doing so.”
Ye Jing and Xuan Danfeng were startled that the lofty Feng Minyue was willing to be a servant just for the Rainbow Saint Pill.
They were not Feng Minyue and they had no idea how desperate her situation was now.
But Xuan Danfeng did understand her. She remembered when she was first overcoming to the Sacred Saint level, her odds was just 10%. It was a do or die situation. When she had finally overcome to the Sacred Saint level, her mood had changed to the jovial mood that everyone was accustomed to now. It was because she was so overjoyed to have overcome her life and death barrier that her emotional state had completely improved.
Saintess Yuqing asked, ”What if I ask you to marry Yuan Chengzhi in my place. Will you do it?”
Feng Minyue nodded slowly…
Saintess Yuqing smiled, ”Let's talk about that later. Today is my wedding day and I ought to pay my father-in-law a visit first.”
And she had walked over to the seating positions of the Divine Sovereign Clan.
When Yuan Chengzhi saw Yuqing appearing from the blue sedan, he almost jumped and he was smiling to his father and elders as though he was saying. ”There, there! I told you so! Your good son has landed a good wife!”
When Grandmaster Yuan Tianba saw the Saintess Yuqing, he was stunned at her peerless looks. When his son Yuan Chengzhi had told him that he was not going to marry Ye Jing anymore, he was quite upset as they had already lost two divine swords to her.
Even when Yuan Chengzhi and Elder Zhou Hai had described to him how perfect the Saintess Yuqing was, he had not believed them.
In fact he had replied quite sarcastically, ”There is no way a saintess will lower herself to marry you. There must be a trick somewhere.”
Yuan Chengzhi had replied, ”Absolutely no tricks. She has totally idolized me. Compare to that Yun Xinghe, I'm 100 times better.”
Now Fan Yuqing had slowly walked with Li'Er to the front of Grandmaster Yuan Tianba as she greeted, ”My respects to my father-in-law. Your daughter-in-law Yuqing pays my respect to you.”
Along the way, she had secretly glanced at Young Master Yun Xinghe and Celestial Yun Chen. The faces belong to the Celestial Sword Clan was extremely bitter…
Grandmaster Yuan Tianba roared out in laughter, ”My good daughter-in-law. From now on, you are part of the Divine Sovereign Clan!”
It was obvious that he was very pleased with this new daughter-in-law.
Then he rose and displayed the Thousand Mile Resonant as he said aloud, ”Today is not just the inaugural day of the Golden Clans Congregation but is also a grand day for my son Chengzhi and his bride Yuqing!”
The entire congregation was in an uproar as everyone began to talk at the same time after hearing the announcements.
”The Divine Sovereign Clan Yuan Chengzhi has lucked out in marrying such a heavenly goddess…”
”Yuan Chengzhi probably has a lot of good karma in his past life…”
”Such a heavenly match…”
”I wish I was Yuan Chengzhi…”
Ye Jing was thinking, ”Does she really want to marry Yuan Chengzhi…” Now she was feeling bad that Fan Yuqing had chosen to sacrifice herself for her sake…
She sighed further, ”There is only one flaw in this entire plan. Someone has to be sacrificed and that is you.”
