Chapter 121: The Grand Wedding in Three Days
At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed upon Mengchen, making him the focal point of the entire scene.
In their eyes, there was wariness, bewilderment, and even a deeply hidden sense of admiration.
For a time, there was an uproar, exaggerated to the extreme!
"Fifteen Venerables and twenty-one Array Formation cultivators, all easily slaughtered by him alone—what a shocking battle record! One must know, he was only a Spirit Inscription Realm cultivator just a moment ago."
"Dare I ask, how many in these Bayu could achieve this?"
"A god! He must be the manifestation of an ancient True God!"
"With a god descending upon the world, who can contend with him?"
Listening to these clamorous voices, Mengchen's expression remained calm as water; he paid them no heed, nor did he feel any ripples in his heart because of these words.
Because he knew very well that, previously, under Gangzi's secret manipulation, it was merely a battle between those of the same realm; it was not as exaggerated as they imagined.
Of course, this effect still met Mengchen's internal expectations, successfully intimidating these people; in this way, no one would dare to come forward and be his enemy again.
"Little brother is truly divinely martial!"
As the uproar subsided slightly, the Tianhu Shaonü, with her graceful figure, looked around with sparkling eyes and leaned toward Mengchen; every smile and frown was full of charm, intoxicating to behold.
"Has this little Fox Spirit become infatuated with me?"
Mengchen looked at the charming fox-girl before him and muttered to himself.
"Brother Mengchen, you are truly strong!"
Shi Hao said with a sincere face; this was also his true feeling from the depths of his heart.
Although he knew through the Small Tower that it had been a battle of the same realm, Mengchen's demeanor and methods undoubtedly proved his transcendent status among those of the same realm.
Hearing this, Mengchen said very modestly, "Brother Shi Hao, you overpraise me."
He believed that Shi Hao, through the mysterious existence above his head—the Small Tower—had long since discerned that Gangzi had acted in secret to alter the domain here.
"You guy is really a freak!" Heizi sighed, feeling even more inexplicably shocked; the gap between them was not just a little bit large!
"Senior Brother Mengchen is truly so strong. Being able to follow him is truly a blessing I cultivated in my past life. I must become stronger; I must catch up to his footsteps!" Xiyao thought secretly in her heart.
She wore a look of admiration, her beautiful eyes gazing at him as if she were seeing flowers bloom.
Seeing Mengchen respond to Shi Hao first, the Tianhu Shaonü stamped her feet and said, "Stinky little brother! Big sister is praising you, yet you act as if you don't see it!"
Following that, she pouted and said with an unwilling face, "It was truly a waste of Big sister betting her entire life's reputation to win you a wife."
"What a heartless person!" Saying this to the end, she cast a sidelong glance at Mengchen, crossed her arms in a huff, and turned her head away with disdain.
"What the hell? Won a wife?"
Mengchen caught the key point and was somewhat stunned. Immediately, he cast a questioning look toward Shi Hao, Heizi, and the others, only to see them all nodding and casting their gazes in unison toward Yuechan Xianzi.
Seeing the many gazes cast upon her, Yuechan Xianzi clenched her ten fingers and said with displeasure, "Why are you all looking at me! This Witch deceived me first, so the previous bet is naturally void."
Hearing this, Shi Hao teased with a look of surprise, "Oh my! This reason is a bit far-fetched! I didn't expect the holy and pure fairy of the Butian Sect to be so untrustworthy."
"Who is untrustworthy? It is clearly this Witch who has ulterior motives." Yuechan frowned, pointing at the Tianhu Shaonü and retorting with a serious face.
"A bet! The point of a bet is the unknown. If you had won today, would you have let her go?" Huo Ling'er, who was beside Shi Hao, jumped out, and a single sentence left Yuechan Xianzi speechless.
Mengchen probably understood a little, but in order to understand the detailed ins and outs of the matter, he asked the Tianhu Shaonü, "Little fox! What is this all about?"
The Tianhu Shaonü was still sulking, but thinking that she was still under someone else's control, and that this matter concerned Yuechan, in order to ruin this arch-rival's reputation, she looked back with enthusiasm, her smile full of charm, and said:
"Big sister Yuechan said just now that you would definitely die at the hands of those people. I naturally didn't want that, so I made a bet with her."
"The bet was naturally that I bet you would win, while Big sister Yuechan bet you would lose!"
"As for the stakes, if I won, Big sister Yuechan said she would marry you, and if I lost, Big sister Yuechan wanted me to strip off all my clothes in public."
The Tianhu Shaonü described the key points simply.
"Ah, this..." Mengchen became even more stunned after hearing this.
He looked at Yuechan with disbelief. Is this still the ice-pure and jade-clean Saintess? She is actually this 'unrestrained'.
Looking at the strange gaze Mengchen cast, Yuechan Xianzi said coldly, "Shameless lecher, take your dirty eyes away from me!"
"Dirty eyes?" Mengchen's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said softly, "Truly an ice-pure and jade-clean fairy indeed!"
Anger rose in Mengchen's heart. Very well! Since he was so unbearable in the eyes of this holy fairy, then he would simply be unbearable to the end.
Immediately, he looked at the Tianhu Shaonü with a full smile, "Little fox, well done! I will reward you properly later."
After speaking, he turned his face to look at Yuechan again, and said with a light smile, "I didn't expect Yuechan Xianzi to favor me so much; it truly makes me flattered!"
"Shameless lecher, would this fairy favor you? How ridiculous!" Yuechan added coldly.
"They say that hitting is affection and scolding is love! The harder the fairy scolds, the deeper the love for me. Since you already love me so deeply, I think it's better to choose today than any other day; let's consummate the marriage today!" As he spoke, Mengchen stepped forward and walked toward Yuechan.
Seeing him coming head-on with a shameless smile again, Yuechan began to tiptoe and became flustered.
"Since the fairy has already expressed her heart, why be so shy? Come! You deserve to have my warm embrace."
With that said! Mengchen took a quick step, reached out his right hand, grabbed Yuechan Xianzi's jade hand, and with an easy tug, pulled her into his arms.
"You shameless person! Let me go!" Yuechan Xianzi struggled and cursed, her pretty face already flushed red.
At this moment, the crowd's gazes were exceptionally fiery.
They could naturally see that the Saintess of the Butian Sect was being coerced.
But thinking of the invincible, murderous demeanor Mengchen had shown earlier, those whose sense of justice was bursting could only complain in their hearts, not daring to make a sound.
And some people with greedy faces, looking forward to excessive scenes, also dared not say much; after all, that was the Saintess of the Butian Sect, and she was not to be trifled with.
So for a time, it was as if time had stopped; it was exceptionally quiet here, with only the delicate sounds of Yuechan struggling.
"Lecher, I won't spare you." Yuechan struggled desperately.
"Hehehe...! Big sister Yuechan wouldn't be unable to wait to enter the bridal chamber to 'discipline' this little brother of mine, would she?" The Tianhu Shaonü's figure was enchanting as she leaned in, her smile ethereal.
Hearing the Tianhu Shaonü's words, it was as if Mengchen had a sudden realization. Immediately, he looked at Yuechan affectionately and said solemnly, "Fairy, this love really comes rushing in like waves. However! I am a person who values propriety; I cannot let you be so self-deprecating. If you lose this jade-clean body before marriage, it would be a great damage to your reputation. So, let's make it three days from now! After we bow to Heaven and Earth, we will enter the bridal chamber. At that time, you can discipline me however you like."
"Uh... Hahaha..." The Tianhu Shaonü was stunned to hear this; this stinky little brother's level of shamelessness was truly high! Following that, she burst into continuous laughter at Yuechan.
Shi Hao, Huo Ling'er, Heizi, Xiyao, and everyone present were no different.
"You bastard..." Yuechan was almost about to explode.
This damned bald man was truly shameless; he had actually pinned his own shameless conduct squarely onto her head, turning her into someone who could be taken advantage of at will instead.
"Hahaha..., the Fairy loves me like a tide, it truly leaves me quite helpless!" Mengchen held Yuechan's slender waist tightly and laughed up at the sky.
After the laughter, Mengchen looked toward the Shi Emperor and everyone else present, saying: "Your Majesty Shi Emperor, and fellow Daoists, three days from now I shall be wed to the Butian Sect Saintess within the Peach Blossom Garden in the capital. I hope you will all come to drink a cup of wedding wine." The Peach Blossom Garden was the very residence where those Butian Sect disciples he had previously slaughtered were located.
"Good! We shall certainly come!" the Shi Emperor replied.
The strength Mengchen displayed was truly transcendent; even the Shi Emperor felt deeply wary. A person with such formidable strength could only be befriended, not antagonized.
"We shall certainly attend your wedding, fellow Daoist," everyone said in unison.
Although Mengchen was a fourteen-year-old youth, no one present dared to view him as an ordinary youth, and thus they addressed him as fellow Daoist.
After nodding silently to the Shi Emperor and the crowd, Mengchen carried the struggling Yuechan out of the Imperial Palace. After Shi Hao inquired with the Shi Emperor about the whereabouts of his grandfather, the Great Demonic God, he also left the Imperial Palace and followed Mengchen and the others to the Peach Blossom Garden.
After they returned to the Peach Blossom Garden and tidied the place up, the Tianhu girl volunteered to decorate the wedding venue, so she took Heizi and Xiyao to the streets to purchase supplies.
Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er also tactfully took their leave, leaving Mengchen and Yuechan alone in the Peach Blossom Garden.
In a room at the Peach Blossom Garden, Yuechan sat on the bed with a cold face, glaring hatefully at Mengchen, who was leisurely drinking tea.
At a certain moment, Yuechan could not help but scold in anger: "Shameless wretch, I advise you to release me quickly, otherwise, once the experts of my Butian Sect arrive, I will have you reduced to ashes in an instant."
"Heh heh..." Mengchen gave a light laugh.
"What are you laughing at!" Yuechan said with a suspicious look.
"If I wanted to enter the bridal chamber with the Fairy, I could do it at any time. Why do you think I must wait until three days from now?" Mengchen's gaze was calm as he lifted the teacup in his hand to his lips.
"You..., are you specifically waiting for the people of my Butian Sect?" Yuechan was very intelligent and hit the nail on the head.
"Correct!" Mengchen said with a meaningful smile.
At this moment, Yuechan's brows were tightly locked, and she understood in her heart.
His previous announcement in the Imperial Palace in front of everyone that he would marry in three days, including his earlier proclamation to the world that he would destroy the Butian Sect, were all actually a disguised notification to the Butian Sect, intended to lure the people of the Butian Sect to come of their own accord.
Thinking of this, suddenly, Yuechan Xianzi's peerless face was filled with worry.
Previously in the Imperial Palace, he had killed fifteen Venerables and twenty-one Array Formation Realm experts with his own strength. Such terrifying power was undoubtedly a massive threat to the Butian Sect.
"I warn you, the Butian Sect is absolutely not as simple as you imagine. Do not walk down a path of no return," Yuechan said with a grave expression.
Hearing this, Mengchen understood that his battle in the Imperial Palace had successfully bluffed this holy Fairy before him, causing her to begin to feel wary.
But in truth, with his current strength, he was still far from being able to contend with the Butian Sect.
Regarding the matter of avenging Lao Tuzi, he wanted to do it himself and did not want to borrow the hand of the Vajra Pestle.
Therefore, he waited for the people of the Butian Sect to arrive, holding one attitude in his heart: that is, if he could fight, he would fight; if he could not, he would use their Saintess before leaving to slap the face of the Butian Sect hard in front of everyone.
But now, listening to Yuechan Xianzi's implication, the Butian Sect clearly still possessed even greater foundations.
"Oh?" Mengchen said with a hint of curiosity amidst his disdain.
"My Butian Sect has deep foundations in the Upper Realm, with countless experts. So-called deities are merely like ants in the eyes of the experts of my Upper Realm," Yuechan said.
She roughly estimated that Mengchen's current strength should have reached the level of a deity, which was why she mentioned and disparaged deities in her speech.
"Heh! Is that so?" Mengchen said dismissively.
Perhaps the Butian Sect of the Upper Realm was truly as powerful as she said, but those who dared to harm Lao Tuzi must pay a price; this was a matter of principle.
Although Jinchanzi was a master to Mengchen, he was even more like a father.
Subsequently, Mengchen's brows furrowed tightly, and his expression grew cold as he said: "Qitianyan and the elders of your sect harmed my master Jinchanzi, they must die! And if the so-called experts of the Butian Sect of the Upper Realm you speak of intervene, they will die as well. Perhaps I am very weak now, but one day, you will understand what a foolish decision it is to be my enemy."
"Everything is not because of you!" Yuechan Xianzi's gaze was cold as she glanced at Mengchen.
"Hmph! What do you mean it started because of me? It was clearly you who threw yourself at me, and now you blame me?" Mengchen said coldly, not indulging her in the slightest.
Recalling the past, Mengchen considered himself upright and honorable; if she hadn't suddenly turned her body back then, he would only have accidentally pulled off her bodice.
Speaking of this, that scene flashed through Yuechan's mind instantly, and her pretty face turned scorching hot in an instant. It was clearly she who had suffered the loss, yet now he said she was the one who threw herself at him; this was simply the greatest insult to her.
Yuechan's willow brows stood upright, furrowed tightly, as she raised her hand to point and curse: "You shameless..."
Mengchen said with a look of disdain: "You are a lamb waiting to be slaughtered; what can you do if I am shameless to you?"
For a time, Yuechan's nostrils flared with heavy, ragged breaths, her chest heaving up and down, her pair of beautiful eyes wishing they could glare this shameless bald man to death.
Just like that, one glared in anger, one leisurely sipped tea, and the two had no further verbal exchange...
After half a day of purchasing, the Tianhu girl and the others arrived and immediately began to decorate.
Soon, the entire Peach Blossom Garden was decorated to be exceptionally festive, immersed in a celebratory atmosphere.
"Sister Yuechan, come and change your clothes..."
At this moment, the Tianhu girl held a bridal outfit and said to Yuechan on the bed.
"Witch! If you want to wear it, find a room yourself! Get out!" Yuechan scolded.
If her Divine Power had not been sealed, the Tianhu girl would have wanted to force her, but at this moment, without Divine Power, she was not satisfied with this strength.
"Hmph! At this point, it is not up to you. Let me have my younger brother come and deal with you!"
Therefore, seeing that she would not listen properly, the Tianhu girl ran to complain to Mengchen. Afterward, Mengchen arrived: "Holy Fairy, either you change now, or we shall enter the bridal chamber right this instant. You choose!"
Yuechan revealed her white teeth, biting her lower lip tightly, her ten fingers clenched, showing ten thousand points of unwillingness.
"It seems you are unwilling. Very well. Little Fox, go out and close the door." As he spoke, Mengchen began to undress himself.
"Alright! Sister Yuechan, just enjoy yourself! My younger brother is brave and invincible; he will definitely not disappoint you." The Tianhu girl smiled charmingly and naturally, her demeanor bewitching, and as she spoke, she walked toward the door.
Seeing Mengchen beginning to remove his clothes, Yuechan's heart and mind were shaken. She hurriedly turned her head and squeezed her eyes shut tightly, then, in her panic, she called out with extreme reluctance: "I... will change!"
Hearing the call, Mengchen stopped what he was doing and put his removed clothes back on. "That's more like it. Those who know the times are good wives! Hurry up and change!"
Having said that, Mengchen walked out of the room.
"You get out too! I will change myself!"
Afterward, the Tianhu girl was driven out by Yuechan.
For a time, Yuechan stared blankly at the wedding dress for a long while.
"If I can delay it for even a moment longer, then so be it!"
In the end, after a series of internal struggles, for the sake of her own chastity, Yuechan changed into the wedding dress herself.
Her brows and eyes were like a painting; she sat blankly on the bed, her expression as calm as water, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Her long hair draped down smoothly, and her jade-like face appeared very tranquil, forming an extremely moving picture against the backdrop of the festive wedding dress.
