Chapter 966: Finally Becoming a Couple

"Yunfeng, do a favor for your sister."

"Sister, you know, I, your younger brother, have always obeyed your every word."

The noble Beast Clan Third Prince, before Ye Qingran, humbled himself as if a servant; this scene once again left everyone astonished.

Ye Qingran nodded, her gaze shifting toward the Ling Family members; the Ling Family Head instantly sensed something amiss, a foreboding rising in his heart.

"My elder uncle has set his sights on the Domain Lord Lu's daughter, Lu Qiqi; how should we handle this?"

Lu Yunfeng nodded, "I see!" He looked at Yun Zhonghe nearby, bowed slightly, and said, "Yunfeng congratulates elder uncle on finding a good match!"

Yun Zhonghe gave a slight nod, "Thank you, Yunfeng."

The Ling Family Head gritted his teeth and shouted, "Ye Qingran, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it obvious? Everyone is here today, so it's the perfect chance to bear witness to my elder uncle Yun Zhonghe and the Domain Lord Lu's daughter Lu Qiqi."

"Ye Qingran, your actions this time are rather unreasonable, aren't they?" Lu Hongwei's expression was also unpleasing.

"Isn't this all something we learned from the Ling Family and the Lu Clan?" Ye Qingran flashed a radiant smile, stunningly beautiful.

The Lu Clan and the Ling Family, relying on their great influence, forcibly meddled in Yun Zhonghe and Lu Qiqi's relationship; had she not used a nine‑tailed demon fox to intimidate them, Yun Zhonghe might have already perished.

Lu Yunfeng looked at Lu Hongwei, his expression solemn, "Domain Lord Lu, from your tone, do you look down on my elder uncle?"

Lu Hongwei was left speechless, not knowing how to reply.

Although he is the esteemed Domain Master of the Spiritual Realm, in front of the Beast Clan Prince he feels no superiority, instead trembling, fearing to offend the Beast Clan and lose his position—or even his life.

"Since the Domain Lord Lu has no objection…" Lu Yunfeng looked at the crowd, raising his voice, "Today, I, Lu Yunfeng, will bear witness, marrying the Lu Clan's prized daughter Lu Hongwei to Yun Zhonghe. Domain Lord Lu, Ling Family Head, do either of you have any objections?"

Lu Yunfeng's voice reached every ear present; the Ling Family Head and Domain Lord Lu bowed their heads, feeling immensely suppressed, but when they saw the Beast Clan's army, each looking like a ferocious demon, they were forced to concede.

If the Beast Clan rebels, the Lu Clan and the Ling Family will surely become cannon fodder!

"N‑no…!"

Seeing her father concede, Lu Qiqi's eyes blossomed with radiant light. Even if she is forced, even if her love with Yun Zhonghe lacks blessing, as long as she can be with the one she loves, she is happy.

"Ah, He!"

"Qiqi!"

The two gazed at each other across the crowd, their excitement evident; after a brief stare, they rushed toward one another, tightly embracing amid the sea of people.

Family status and parental decree filled their love story with hardships; they have hidden, stumbled, and at last, the darkness gave way to bright blossoms.

So wonderful!

Ye Qingran looked at the embracing couple, a slow smile curving her lips, feeling immensely gratified.

"Among the three uncles, finally one is worry‑free!" Ye Qingran muttered to herself, her tone betraying her concern.

"Sister, no rush; second uncle and third uncle are dragons and phoenixes among men, are you still afraid they can't find a suitable lady? Besides, Beast Clan beauties are as plentiful as clouds; if it truly doesn't work, I'll help them carefully scout."

Ye Qingran stroked her chin, "That's a good idea; I've heard Beast Clan beauties have countless charms, surely there's one fitting those two picky fellows!"

Xiao Hu Xiao Chen exchanged a glance, slowly shook their heads, seeing that second uncle and third uncle cannot escape the fate of arranged matches!

Divine Clan.

The Heavenly Palace hides among the clouds, immortal aura swirling, dreamlike and illusory, indistinguishable between mortal realm and celestial realm.

In a garden blooming like brocade, a young woman as beautiful as a flower and jade stood within the Bajiao Pavilion, dressed in a flowing celestial gown threaded with golden filaments, like a fairy.

Outside the Bajiao Pavilion, eight maids waited quietly.

This person is the Divine Clan Princess Ni Shang.

"She is actually this beautiful?"

Ni Shang examined a portrait on the table, squinting; murderous intent spilled from her beautiful eyes.

"Which short‑sighted one is provoking my precious daughter?"

A melodious voice came from behind Ni Shang. A graceful figure stepped forward on lotus steps, clad in a purple dress with matching purple makeup, her beauty tinged with a hint of eeriness.

"Mother, look for yourself."

The beautiful lady followed Ni Shang's finger, glanced at the portrait on the nearby table, lifted it, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

"She is that Ye Qingran?"

"Yes."

The beautiful lady clenched the portrait tighter; she naturally knew of Ye Qingran, but locating someone in the vast Void Realm is not easy, otherwise she would have acted long ago.

"Mother, we must never let Father Emperor learn of her existence! Otherwise, she would no longer be unique!"

Ni Shang clenched her fist, her expression cold.

The beautiful lady smiled, patting Ni Shang's shoulder, "Don't worry, with me here, the Divine Emperor will never know of her existence."

"Moreover, I came today with good news for you."

"What news?"

"I have already discovered her whereabouts!"

Ni Shang's face, once clouded with gloom and jealousy, brightened, "Really? Where is she?"

"Wànlíng Cheng!"

"Wànlíng Cheng?! So she's hiding there; I'll head to Wànlíng Cheng right away!"

Ni Shang's eyes erupted with a brilliant flash, mingled with endless murderous intent.

In this world, only she, Ni Shang, is qualified to become a Divine Clan Princess; anyone daring to contest her faces certain death!

The beautiful lady did not stop her, but smiled indulgently, "Go, if you wish to end her yourself, I won't stop you."

Wànlíng Cheng.

Upon learning the elder family head was injured, the Lan family rushed to Wànlíng Cheng. Originally Lady Lan intended to reprimand Ye Qingran, but when the Beast Clan Third Prince appeared, calling Ye Qingran 'sister', she immediately lowered her flags, planning to leave Wànlíng Cheng with the wounded elder family head, his face grimy.

However, unexpectedly, on the carriage leaving the city, Lady Lan looked through the window and saw Fu Hanxiu.

"Stop the carriage!"

"What's wrong, mother?" Lan Ling Wang frowned in displeasure.

"I think I saw... Fu Hanxiu!"

"Then? You can't possibly have forgotten, can you? In his eyes there's only that scoundrel Ye Qingran, and you, this mother, are long gone!" Lan Ling Wang sneered.

Lady Lan was unfazed, shook her head, "No, have you forgotten? Rumor has it Ye Qingran met a man at the Wine House, went to acknowledge kinship, but he claimed not to know her... Turns out it's all true!"

Lady Lan's heart surged.

If Fu Hanxiu truly doesn't recognize Ye Qingran, wouldn't that mean he will no longer be manipulated by that Beast Clan woman and will listen to his mother again?

"Then what? Ye Qingran now has the entire Beast Clan backing her; no matter how strong Fu Hanxiu is, can he be a match for the Beast Clan?" the Lan Family Head said, displeased.

Lady Lan, however, did not think so.

She harbored a secret of her own.

"Believe me just once; if Fu Hanxiu truly has amnesia, we can not only eliminate Ye Qingran but also stand atop the Void Domain and look down upon this world!" a sharp light flashed from Lady Lan's eyes.

Back then, she abandoned her former husband and married the Lan Family Head because the Lan family was the foremost clan on the Xuanmiao Continent, but her ambition went beyond that; she wants to stand atop the Void Domain, look down on this world, and become the most noble woman!

The few members of the Lan family exchanged glances, and finally the Lan Family Head spoke, "Ye Qingran now has the Beast Clan's backing; crossing her will make our future days in the Void Domain difficult. Since that's so, why don't we burn our bridges?"

Lan Ling Wang nodded, "Father is right!"

"Madam, we the Lan family are counting on you!"

Fu Hanxiu walked through the streets of Wànlíng Chéng with two Demon Race subordinates; the surrounding people, seeing them, hurried aside and dared not approach.

"Xiu'er, walk slower!"

"It's mother!"

"My good child, finally found you!"

Soon, a figure surged ahead of Fu Hanxiu, blocking his path.

"Looking for death!" Fu Hanxiu's subordinate stepped forward, eyes flashing murderous intent.

"Xiu'er, have you forgotten me? I am your mother!"

Lady Lan's chest rose and fell, breathless, her gaze at Fu Hanxiu filled with delight; an uninformed observer might truly think it a long‑separated mother‑son reunion.

"Step back!"

Fu Hanxiu slightly opened his thin lips, uttered two words, and the two black‑clad subordinates were ordered to halt.

He adjusted his sword‑shaped eyebrows, a half‑smile on his face, and examined Lady Lan, "You say you're my mother?"

Lady Lan nodded as if pounding garlic.

"Are you sure?"

Fu Hanxiu was clearly smiling, undeniably handsome beyond compare, yet Lady Lan inexplicably grew timid, feeling a pang of insecurity.

"... Sure!"

Fu Hanxiu waved his hand and ordered, "Take the old lady to the side courtyard and attend to her properly."

At first, when she heard Fu Hanxiu command someone to take her away, Lady Lan was terrified, but upon hearing the latter part of the sentence she instantly felt her heart blossom with joy.

Fu Hanxiu, he believed it!

Great!

She will soon become the most noble woman!

"You say Lady Lan went looking for Fu Hanxiu, and then he invited her to the side courtyard?"

"Yes," Lu Yunfeng replied.

"To use the amnesiac Fu Hanxiu to revive the Lan family, that woman is indeed cunning!"

Lu Yunfeng, standing aside, seemed distracted.

Ye Qingran looked at him, "If you want to ask something, just say it; why be so tangled up?"

Lu Yunfeng stared at Ye Qingran, paused briefly, and said, "Sister, what exactly happened between you and Fu Hanxiu? How come he doesn't remember you?"
