The next day.
Hanchang City was unusually lively, the likes of which had never been seen before.
Because today was the day that the number one family in Hanchang City, the Ye Family, and the number two family, the Yun Family, were holding a joyous wedding to unite two lovers.
Although Hanchang City was just a small city in the grand scheme of Nansha, this event was still a very big deal for all the residents of Hanchang City.
Yun Family.
The estate was decorated with colorful lights and banners, seemingly celebrating happily. But in the hearts of the Yun Family, there was only gloom.
The Yun Family knew exactly what kind of person Ye WuChen was. Marrying Yun Mengtian to him was no different than pushing her into a fiery pit.
But under the coercion and threats from the Ye Family, the Yun Family had no choice.
In terms of just comparing the strength and foundation of the families, the Yun Family was not that much worse off than the Ye Family. But the key was that Ye WuChen's older brother Ye Tianci was the squad leader at Blowing Snow Mountain Villa.
For a family like the Yuns, Blowing Snow Mountain Villa was basically an immense, towering figure. And with this layer of connection, the Ye Family were the absolute overlords of Hanchang City.
In the room.
Yun Mengtian's pretty face was covered in tear tracks, appearing haggard.
"Mengtian, why don't we call off the wedding? I'll go tell the Ye Family," said Yun Sheng, his face flushed red.
"No, father," Yun Mengtian quickly stopped him. "If I call off the wedding, the Ye Family will definitely resent us. Hanchang City will have no place for our Yun Family in the future. Even for the several hundred people of our family, I must marry!"
"Sigh!"
"It's all because I'm useless!"
Yun Sheng let out a heavy sigh, bowing his head dejectedly, his eyes brimming red.
If not for this, how could he have pushed his own daughter into a fiery pit?
The auspicious time had arrived.
Dressed in red robes and riding a white horse at the front, Ye WuChen led a long procession with gongs and drums to welcome Yun Mengtian into the bridal palanquin.
It all looked...
Very harmonious.
Especially the image of Ye WuChen at the front riding the white horse, his face filled with a beaming smile.
He had been looking forward to this little beauty Yun Mengtian for a long time. Now he had finally obtained her.
Thinking of the wedding night that would happen tonight, he couldn't help the upwards curl of his lips... hehehe...
But suddenly.
From the three way fork in the road up ahead, a din of chaotic noises could be heard.
A large group of people were standing in the middle of the road, dancing provocatively.
At the lead was an obese woman.
She wore a pair of tall rain boots on her feet, a red miniskirt on her lower body that clearly revealed hairy legs, while her upper body was encased in a cropped halter top. But due to her obese figure, the entire outfit was stretched skin tight.
"Follow my left to draw a dragon, right to paint a rainbow..."
The woman waved a red handkerchief to the beat while shouting rhythmic chants, tossing her head and the ponytail whip-lashing around.
This eye catching scene instantly drew Ye WuChen's gaze over. But when he scrutinized the woman's appearance, his eyes immediately bulged wide.
Her lips were plastered in a circle of bright red rouge, her face caked in so much powder it was as if she had dumped a pail of ash on herself, unable to conceal the terrible state of her skin.
"Ugly woman!"
Ye WuChen shuddered straight down to his guts, feeling nauseous and like vomiting.
But right then, the fat woman twisted her hips to the side, lightly smacked her butt, then tossed a coquettish glance at Ye WuChen while puckering her bright red and thick lips.
On top of those lips, unplucked facial hair could still clearly be seen.
Mwah mwah mwah...
"Gah..."
"Urp..."
A wave of turmoil erupted in Ye WuChen's stomach and he directly vomited.
Hastily yanking on the reins of the white horse, he steered clear of their path, his face pitch black as he spat curses while yelling, "F*ck, how inauspicious! Go this way, this way!"
As he spoke, the wedding procession turned to walk down another path.
That other path was actually even closer, it was just a lot narrower than the main one.
Seeing this, the fat dancing woman revealed a delighted smile.
The procession continued on as usual.
It was a very long street, lined on both sides with crowds there to watch the lively scene.
But just then, a wailing, screaming voice rang out.
It turned out to be an old man with a lame leg supporting himself on a cane, directly blocking the path of Ye WuChen at the front.
"You, you, Ye WuChen, you heartless bastard. You got my daughter pregnant and now you want to walk away like it's nothing, you you you..." Face flushed red, the old man jabbed his cane and stood in the middle of the road shouting.
This scene instantly attracted everyone's attention. Their gazes turned meaningful as they squeezed over here to take a look.
After all, no one could resist their innate desire for gossip.
"Old man, who the hell are you? Don't go spouting nonsense!" Ye WuChen yelled with a black face.
"You, you actually still won't admit it! Daughter, come on out!" The old man's body trembled as he shouted.
Hearing this, Fifth Sky emerged out from the crowds. At this time, he was dressed elegantly in women's clothing. With his innate good looks, this get up rendered him alluringly graceful and devastatingly beautiful.
One could see him straighten the pair of buns pressing against his chest before shouting, "It's you! Yes you! Back then you swore up and down I was the only one for you, but now you've turned right around and married someone else. You, you despicable cad!"
"Waa waa..."
"Come one everyone, serve me justice!"
Fifth Sky's tender voice echoed throughout the scene. That pitiable appearance easily evoked the protective instinct in many.
As his voice faded, the crowds instantly broke into heated discussion, shooting disapproving glances and whispers at Ye WuChen.
Seeing this, Ye WuChen's face was pitch black.
Although he didn't think much of these common folk, for something like this to happen on his big wedding day would still greatly impact his reputation. He immediately dismounted and strode over to Fifth Sky.
"Trash like you dares to spout nonsense at this young master?" As he spoke, his palm shot out towards Fifth Sky's chest.
Fifth Sky didn't dodge, allowing the grab.
Just as Ye WuChen was about to exert force, he felt something off.
His subconscious gave an investigative squeeze.
His expression changed.
"You unexpectedly..."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
