I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 240 Farewell!

As dawn broke, the entire Chen residence was bustling with activity.

Without him.

The second young master got married.

The bride-to-be was no ordinary person, but Bai Yujing, the Sword Saint of the Great Qian Dynasty, revered as a towering figure in the entire martial arts world. This was a hot topic of discussion in every household throughout the Great Qian Dynasty.

Lin Yulan and Chen Yinfu also got up early, looking exceptionally energetic, and even wore formal robes.

While fixing Chen Yinfu's makeup, Lin Yulan muttered, "What have we been doing outside? Why did we end up marrying the Great Qian Sword Saint? It puts a lot of pressure on me as his mother."

Chen Yinfu said, "Then you really don't understand Xiao Mo at all. Have you forgotten what happened in the palace a while ago?"

Lin Yulan was taken aback: "I haven't forgotten. I heard from Master Liu that Empress Xiao in the palace was killed. And the ones who did it were Erlang and the Great Qian Sword Saint?"

Chen Yinfu said with a hint of pride, "The main contributor was our Xiao Mo."

Lin Yulan didn't refute anything.

Master Liu is the manager of the Martial Arts Pavilion of the Jiang Family Mansion and has long been one of the martial arts masters.

Originally, the Jiang family had five martial arts masters: Jiang Shuihan, Jiang Yan, Master Liu from the Martial Arts Pavilion, Pharmacist Liu from the Alchemy Room, and Blacksmith Zhou from the Armory.

Since Jiang Shuihan's incident, the Jiang family's situation has been basically maintained by these three martial arts masters.

However, Jiang Shuihan had long ago instructed the three grandmasters to protect the Jiang family and Chen Mo's family. Only then did Master Liu lead the people from the Jiang family and Chen's residence away from the capital and settle in the Ghost Market.

Later, with the help of Yang Yan and Chen Qian, Chen Mo found Feng Si Niang and spread the word, which led him to contact Master Liu and several other martial arts masters.

Later, when Master Liu learned that Empress Dowager Xiao had passed away, he led everyone back to the capital and reopened the Jiang family mansion.

During his many years at the Ghost Market, Master Liu took good care of Mr. and Mrs. Chen Yinfu, and the two sides had frequent interactions and were quite familiar with each other.

Chen Yinfu laughed and said, "Our Xiao Mo is already a top expert who dominates the Great Qian Dynasty, even surpassing the Great Qian Sword Saint. Otherwise, with Bai Yujing's vision, why would she be willing to marry Xiao Mo?"

Lin Yulan said, "I've met Bai Yujing. He's a well-educated and polite person. I'm just under a lot of pressure."

Chen Yinfu said, "It's not like you and Bai Yujing are going to live together. Xiao Mo can live her life. Don't think too much about it. Today is a big day, so don't be impolite."

Lin Yulan said, "I understand."

……

East courtyard bedroom.

Chen Mo stood in front of the full-length bronze mirror, and Qiu Lan straightened his clothes.

"The second young master looks so handsome today; he'll be the groom in a little while." Qiu Lan had a smile on her face, as if she were the one getting married. Compared to a few years ago, Qiu Lan had matured a lot.

Especially after living with Ma Tie, Qiu Lan became more family-oriented and her temperament became much more stable.

After getting dressed, Chen Mo sat in the room waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.

Grand weddings are full of formalities and rituals.

Chen Mo wasn't one to like trouble, but he felt this would be too unfair to Bai Yujing. She was his wife, and he'd already gone through the motions back in Beiliang…

Marriage is ultimately a major life event.

Even if it's troublesome, it still takes time to go through the process.

Just then, a hurried footstep came from outside the door.

But it was Xiaoyuer, dressed in a pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), who rushed in. When she saw Chen Mo, who was dressed in the robes of a top scholar, she covered her mouth and laughed, making a "hee hee hee" sound.

Chen Mo glared at her. "What are you laughing at?"

Hee hee hee.

Little Fish laughed even more happily, "It's nothing, I just think Second Brother looks so handsome today, and so scholarly, so timid. I rarely see Second Brother so reserved."

Chen Mo chuckled softly, "You just like to see your brother make a fool of himself, don't you?"

Little Fish skipped over to Chen Mo and carefully looked him over. "I just went to see my sister-in-law. She was quite reserved."

Chen Mo looked at the little fish and was suddenly filled with emotion.

He knew that he was about to follow the Empress of Northern Liang to cause trouble, and his future was uncertain.

Perhaps, there won't be many more peaceful and warm days like this.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo reached out and patted Xiaoyuer's head, then took Xiaoyuer's hand and lifted him up to sit on his lap. "The past two years have been tough on you, Xiaoyuer. I heard from your parents that you've been studying hard and taking care of the family. You've become much more sensible. You're no longer the little kid who only knew how to eat candied hawthorns."

Hearing Chen Mo's praise, Xiaoyuer was overjoyed, her face flushing with excitement. "Second Brother told me long ago to be obedient and sensible. But Second Brother, you've kept it all hidden all these years. You've done so many earth-shattering things outside without telling me. And I know that everything you've done is to protect this family."

Although Little Fish is still young, he understands how hard his second brother works. I take my second brother as my role model.

Chen Mo hugged Xiaoyuer tightly, "Xiaoyuer will get better and better. Your brother is proud of you as his sister."

The little fish was even happier.

In fact, Xiaoyuer's family upbringing has always been strict. Whether it was Zhang Ru, Lin Yulan, or Chen Yinfu, they all held Xiaoyuer to high standards. After all, Chen Wu was gone, and the Chen family didn't want anything to happen to Xiaoyuer either.

But Xiaoyuer's role model is still Chen Mo.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiaoyuer spoke up, "By the way, Second Brother, a very beautiful lady just came by. She even took my old jade pendant to have it blessed before returning it to me."

Chen Mo was taken aback: "Jade pendant?"

"Hmm."

Xiaoyuer took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Chen Mo, while also telling him about Xiao Bei's previous incident.

Chen Mo then realized that Xiao Bei had given the jade pendant to Xiao Yu'er before she died.

So the beautiful lady who consecrated the jade pendant is most likely the Empress of Northern Liang.

Not bad.

The Empress of Northern Liang also came to Daqian to attend Chen Mo and Bai Yujing's wedding.

Chen Mo took the jade pendant and examined it carefully, sensing an extremely powerful protective force within it. He figured this was the Empress's way of showing goodwill, or perhaps she genuinely liked Xiaoyuer.

If Xiaoyuer encounters danger in the future, this jade pendant will be enough to save his life.

Little Fish murmured, "Second Brother, is there something wrong with this jade pendant?"

Chen Mo shook his head, smiling as he returned the jade pendant to Xiaoyuer: "No problem. You can carry it with you day and night from now on. If you encounter danger, this thing can save your life." "It seems that pretty sister is really good to me. By the way, who is this woman, Second Brother?" Xiaoyuer accepted the jade pendant and hung it around his neck.

Chen Mo said, "This woman has an extraordinary background. You'll find out when you grow up."

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't say anything, Xiao Yu'er didn't ask any more questions and continued to mutter about her recent studies.

Before long, the auspicious time arrived.

Little Fish jumped off Chen Mo's lap.

Chen Mo didn't hesitate and went out the door.

There were countless people standing outside, all staring at Chen Mo with burning eyes.

Outsiders may not know who Chen Mo is, but those who have come to the wedding today are all in the know. They know that Chen Mo is the most terrifying person in the Great Qian Dynasty. Even the current emperor, Su Yuqing, was put on the throne by Chen Mo.

This is the true god of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Chen Mo arrived at the central courtyard under the watchful eyes of everyone and then began to complete the wedding ceremony.

Among those attending the wedding were Su Yuqing, the Empress of Northern Liang, numerous high-ranking officials of the Demon Suppression Division, and three martial arts masters from the Jiang Clan.

It can be described as a grand and impressive event.

The wedding banquet lasted a full day before finally coming to an end.

……

After the wedding, life in the Jiang family returned to normal.

Bai Yujing settled into the Chen family mansion as Chen Mo's wife, living a simple life. She spent most of her time with Chen Mo and busy with housework.

Bai Yujing was very approachable. Whenever she had free time, she would accompany Chen Mo to keep Chen Yinfu and his wife company, take care of Zhang Ru, and occasionally tutor Xiaoyuer.

Such peaceful days brought great comfort to Chen Yinfu's family.

It seems that since Chen Mo transmigrated here, the family has not lived such peaceful days for a long time.

The Empress of Northern Liang remained silent, focusing on living in a separate courtyard and refusing to get involved in the Chen family's affairs. She spent her free time tutoring Xiaoyuer, and they got along very well.

Even Su Yuqing realized something and frequently came to the Chen residence to meet with Chen Mo.

Half a month passed in a flash.

This morning.

Chen Mo and Bai Yujing slowly woke up in the room.

Both of them seemed to realize something, and sat silently on the edge of the bed, staring blankly out the window. They saw several jujube trees outside, with a few sparrows perched on them, chirping incessantly.

After a long pause, Bai Yujing finally spoke, "Husband, half a month has passed. We must fulfill our promise to the Empress."

Chen Mo didn't say anything. He stood up wearing his undershirt, walked to the window, and stared at the sparrows outside.

Bai Yujing slowly stood up, walked behind Chen Mo, then hugged him from behind, nestled her head against his back, and whispered, "The Empress was quite kind, giving us half a month. Now that time is up. What do you think?"

Now that Bai Yujing is married, her attitude has become much gentler. Before, she was a very opinionated person who never asked for other people's opinions. Now, she consults Chen Mo's opinion on everything, which puts her in a very comfortable position.

Feeling the warmth emanating from behind him, Chen Mo said softly, "We should fulfill our promise. On one hand, the Empress has been good to us, and on the other hand, her strength is simply too great. Even if we joined forces, we probably wouldn't be enough to withstand a few blows from her. It wouldn't be worth it if it damaged our relationship and caused numerous conflicts. Most importantly, we have all undergone the advancement of the Twin Demons, and in a way, we are already inextricably linked to that ghost ship. We should go and see for ourselves. This will help us understand what the Twin Demons we have forged within us are all about. Furthermore, it will also help us understand what kind of future we will face after ascending to immortality through the Twin Demons."

Bai Yujing was still worried that Chen Mo might harbor some dissatisfaction with the Empress, but now that she heard this, she felt much more at ease. "Then let's do as you say, my lord."

Chen Mo nodded: "Let's go see our parents and family, and say goodbye to them."

Bai Yujing agreed, "Okay."

The two were not shy people, so after washing up and changing into plain clothes, they went to the central courtyard and met Chen Yinfu, Lin Yulan, Zhang Ru, and Xiaoyuer early in the morning.

The family ate breakfast quietly.

Lin Yulan seemed to keenly sense the difference in Chen Mo and Bai Yujing's attitudes, so she spoke up: "Second Brother, is something on your mind?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo and Bai Yujing exchanged a glance, and finally told the truth about the deal they made with the Empress of Northern Liang when they went there.

The whole family was filled with worry and heartache after hearing Chen Mo's words.

Lin Yulan's eyes reddened slightly. "Erlang, you've had such a hard time all these years. As your mother, I never imagined you would be so successful. I wanted to help you in any way I could, but I knew my abilities were limited..."

Chen Yinfu interrupted Lin Yulan, saying, "Alright. You shouldn't make the atmosphere so heavy. Our Xiao Mo is no ordinary person. The stage and world Xiao Mo has been exposed to are different from ours. As her father, there's not much I can do to help. I only hope that when Xiao Mo is out there, she will take good care of herself, not be too assertive, and not wrong herself. Also, remember to take good care of our Chen family's daughter-in-law. Don't let your daughter-in-law suffer any injustice."

Lin Yulan quickly recovered and wiped away her tears, saying, "Yes, your father is right. It's an honor for our Chen family that my Erlang can do these things. But take good care of yourself while you're away. Your mother will be waiting for Erlang to come home."

"Oh right, I've prepared some clothes and money. That's all a mother can do. I'll go get them for you." Lin Yulan suddenly came to her senses, ran to the room, packed a full bundle, and handed it to Chen Mo.

In fact, at Chen Mo's level, he no longer needs these ordinary items.

But what Lin Yulan gave him was extremely precious to Chen Mo.

He took the bundle and said deeply, "Thank you, Mother, I will remember."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Mo spoke with his stepmother Zhang Ru for a while and expressed his apologies to Chen Wu. Finally, he picked up Xiaoyuer and said, "Xiaoyuer, you've grown up now. From now on, when your second brother isn't home, you'll be the pillar of the family."

Little Fish nodded emphatically: "Little Fish knows. Don't worry, Second Brother, I will take good care of the family and wait for Second Brother and Sister-in-law to return."

"Little Fish, be good, your second brother will come back."

Chen Mo gently pinched Xiaoyuer's nose and then put her down.

The next moment, Chen Mo and Bai Yujing stood up, bowed deeply to their family, and bid a heartfelt farewell.

"Father, Mother, Second Mother, Little Fish, take care."

"Father, Mother, Second Mother, Little Fish, take care."

The two said goodbye and then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Lin Yulan stood by the threshold, watching Chen Mo and Bai Yujing's departing figures. Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes. "Erlang, you must come back. Mother is waiting for you at home, and will make your favorite osmanthus cake."

As Chen Mo walked out of the courtyard, he heard his mother's words and felt a pang of sadness.

But he didn't turn back and walked forward resolutely.

Parents, take care!
