1136 Flames of War Rise 1 (1/2)
Just as the night merriment was well underway, a team of people silently entered the city.
The guards from the gates immediately made their way towards the Heavenly Cloud Chambers to inform the various Clan Chiefs but as the wedding banquet was already more than halfway through, the Clan Chiefs had already fallen unconscious with drink and with no other choice left, they could only deliver the news to Qu Ling Yue who was sitting within the newlyweds' conjugal room.
With Jun Xie's grand reception of Qu Ling Yue as his bride, no one within the Thousand Beast City now dared to disrespect her.
Qu Ling Yue who was sitting alone within the room had immediately pulled her red veil off her head upon receiving the news and went nervously towards Jun Wu Xie's room.
”Jun Xie! People from the Fire Country have arrived!” Qu Ling Yue shouted anxiously, as she stood outside the door.
The room door was opened and Jun Wu Xie appeared before Qu Ling Yue.
”Fire Country?” Jun Wu Xie was slightly surprised.
Qu Ling Yue nodded. ”It seems to be Lei Chen and Lei Xi and they have brought their men as well. They said they need to see you for something urgent.”
Jun Wu Xie raised up an eyebrow and went silent for a moment before she said: ”Got it. I'll go see them now.”
It was a day of joyous celebration for the Thousand Beast City and she did not want the Fire Country's military to come into the city. She immediately made her way towards the Thousand Beast City's gates and Jun Wu Yao accompanied her.
Outside the city's gates, Lei Chen was seated atop his tall horse, his good looking face traced with anxiety. He peered anxiously inside through the gates when finally, he saw the figure of Jun Xie appear!
”Royal Brother! It's His Majesty!” Lei Xi exclaimed excitedly, as Lei Chen quickly jumped off his horse and without waiting for Jun Xie to come near, he hurried forward instead.
”Your humble vassal pays his respects to Your Majesty!” Lei Chen came before Jun Xie, and immediately fell to his knees to pay his respects.
