Chapter 138 - Taking Down the Usurpers - Part 2 (1/2)
Burning Heaven Clan inside the Burning Heaven Valley of the Bluefire Region, located in the southwest of the Blue Wind Empire.
After she was forced to go with the Burning Heaven Clan, Cang Yue kept hoped that Mesa would show up any second and save her and her father, but it didn't happen. Her first night at the Burning Heaven Clan, she was locked in a room, spent silently crying herself to sleep and hoping it was all just a nightmare from which she'd wake up at any moment. But the next day, when she woke up, she realized that the nightmare was not a nightmare, but a horrifying reality. Locked up in her room all day with no way out and no windows to look outside and get a sense of time.
Her second day as a prisoner of the Burning Heaven Clan was spent inside her room all day with no one to talk to and no one to see. After who knows how long, the door to the room opened up and Fen Juecheng came walking in, with that smug arrogant look on his face and she herself looked away from him, even when he gently tried to nudge her face to look at him.
”Don't touch me!” Growled Cang Yue quietly under her breath
Fen Juecheng, even though he heard her, didn't seem perturbed at all. In fact, his smile grew wider. ”Ah my beloved princess, I am very sorry for the way that you have had to come over. But you have to understand things from my perspective as well.”
Hearing him say this, Cang Yue turns her head towards Fen Juecheng with a look of sheer maddening disbelief on her face and said: ”Are you! F.u.c.k.i.n.g! SERIOUS! You have stalked me for years, made me so afraid that I had to flee my home for years, all because you refused to accept NO! And now, when I finally found Mesa, someone I really wanted to be with and when I was finally free from you forever, you imprisoned my father and took me from my home!”
Continuing on, undaunted by Cang Yue's outburst, Fen Juecheng replied. ”But of course I would. If my beloved wife is acting up like that, what kind of a husband would I be if I did not correct this erratic behavior of hers.”
After that, he comes up to her and gently grabs her face with his right hand with a gentle smile on his face, before it suddenly transitions into an angry frown with his right hand going down to her throat and pushing her against the wall, choking her out. ”And as your soon-to-be husband, I am telling you that from now on, I never want to hear that filthy dog's name come out of your mouth ever again. I still haven't forgotten that stunt you two pulled on me during the wedding procession and how you two humiliated me like that, so consider this a warning.”
And with that said, he let go of her and she fell to the ground, coughing violently. The last thing he said before he left the room was. ”I will be back in an hour and pick you up for dinner, so freshen up and make sure to smile a lot. We need to discuss the details of wedding ceremony. And this one will be much better than the first one I had planned.”
Lying there on the ground, curled up in a fetus position and silently crying her eyes out, Cang Yue was begging for Mesa to come and save her from this nightmare.
An hour later when Fen Juecheng to pick her up for dinner, she sat there in the great hall of the Burning Heaven Clan, surrounded by the Burning Heaven Clan Master and all of the elders. And right there, at the head of the table, sitting to the right of Fen Duanhun was Fen Chu with Fen Juechen sitting next to him. And to his left was Fen Juecheng with Cang Yue sitting next to him. This entire time, she kept silent and didn't look up from her food while everyone else was discussing the details of the wedding and how they had finally taken over the Blue Wind Empire and that with Fen Chu here, no one could stop them, not even the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa. It was decided that they would hold the wedding ceremony tomorrow midafternoon when the sun was perfectly aligned and standing right above the Burning Heaven Clan's sacred ancestral hall where all of the past elders and masters of the Burning Heaven Clan had been buried.
During this entire discussion two people kept silent. Cang Yue was one for obvious reasons and the other one was Fen Juechen. From the very beginning, he didn't like Fen Chu and never trusted him. He had never been on board on the Burning Heaven Clan's plan of taking over the Blue Wind Empire and when Fen Chu came knocking at the door and seducing them with the prospect of power, he knew that something was up. He had even tried to fight it, telling his father, the Clan Master, all of the other elders, the Grand Master and everyone else that was a bad plan and that this would only end in disaster. But alas, to no avail. Everyone had already been seduced by Fen Chu and the promises he made to them, so he was forced to watch from the sidelines and hope that it would all work out somehow.
And when the inevitable topic of Mesa Uchiha came up, everyone there treated it like it was nothing. They were all confident that he would be swatted aside like an annoying fly. And if he, by some chance, managed to survive all the way to the Burning Heaven Clan, then they were more than ready for him. And if the worst case came to be, then Fen Chu was more than enough to crush him to dust in a heartbeat.
The next day was the day when Mesa had gotten out of the Kamui dimension and was told about what happened while he was gone by Xia Qingyue. Enraged, he flew off to save Cang Yue. But after Ddraig and Albion told him that they didn't trust this situation one bit, Mesa decided to investigate this situation instead of going all 'bull in a china shop' on them. That was when he uncovered the entire conspiracy that Xuanyuan Wentian had set, or Fen Chu as he is now known.
That morning, Fen Juecheng came to Cang Yue's room. He dismissed the guards at the door and had ordered that everyone leave building because he wanted to have a private conversation with her, Cang Yue just sat on her bed and refused to look at him. When they well and truly alone, Fen Juecheng walked up to her and in a disturbing fashion, creepily caressed her cheek as he said: ”Ah my beloved princess, our wedding is at hand. Soon, we shall be husband and wife and you shall at last be mine forever.”
Having absolutely none of this, Cang Yue swats his hand away and screams at him: ”I will never, ever, EVER be your wife! If you think that Mesa will let this happen or that any one of you pathetic wastes of space can stop him, then you are all as dumb as shit! Just you watch! Mesa will come for me and he will destroy every last one of you!”
