The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo
Page 318
The golden-silver streak that Xiao Xuanyuan had transformed into, carrying Instructor Ruolin in one arm, sped towards the outer edge of the Black Corner Region.
"Aww! Finally, I don't have to ride the dragon anymore, so awesome!"
The treasure-hunting golden dragon also let out a long roar, its huge body breaking free from the giant peak and soaring into the air, chasing after the golden and silver rainbow!
Today is the joyous day of the Yunlan Sect, the most powerful sect in the Jiama Empire. Guests from all over the empire who have been invited have come to this sacred mountain that everyone yearns for, to participate in this grand wedding ceremony, a national event of great importance.
Among all the guests who arrived, almost all of them were the most powerful and influential people in the entire Gama Empire. The Gama Empire royal family, the three major families including the Mittel family, and the leaders of major forces such as the Alchemist Guild all came by invitation.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to Pharmacist Gu and Sect Master Yun on their marriage!"
"Thank you, please come in, distinguished guests." Dressed in a bright red wedding robe, Dan Wang Gu He, who looked to be under forty, had a radiant face, full of vigor and high spirits, and kept smiling as he greeted the guests, including the royal family and other important figures from the Jia Ma Empire, who had already arrived.
"Congratulations, Brother Gu! Congratulations, Brother Gu!" This time, it was Mu Zhan, the patriarch of the Mu family, one of the three major families, who led more than ten members of the Mu family forward from behind.
Then came Nalan Su and more than twenty others from the Nalan family, along with Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor who had just returned to the Mittel family, and Mittel Tengshan, the clan leader, to participate in the Yunlan Sect's grand wedding banquet.
As guests streamed in, each carrying gifts, into the Yunlan Sect's mountain gate, Pill King Guhe's somewhat weathered face beamed with a smile like a chrysanthemum. Just as he was about to leave after receiving these distinguished guests, a disciple's deliberately loud shout made him stop in his tracks and quickly turn back to look!
"The President of the Alchemist Guild has arrived to congratulate Elder Gu on his wedding!"
Following the shouting disciple, they saw an old man with white hair and beard, and a kind and gentle expression, walking up and entering the mountain gate. The guests who came and went looked over in surprise, not expecting that even the president of the Alchemist Guild had come. On the old man's left chest, five pale golden ripples were clearly visible on the pattern of a medicine cauldron.
As a renowned senior alchemist in the Alchemist Guild, Dan Wang Guhe naturally knew the guild leader and immediately recognized him at a glance.
Dan Wang Guhe smiled and walked towards the old man who was accompanied by several third-grade alchemists.
"President, what brings you here? I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly," Gu He said with a warm smile.
"You are an elder of our Alchemist Guild. Since it's your wedding day, as the guild leader, I must come and offer my congratulations!" Guild Leader Fa Ma said with a cheerful smile.
"Thank you very much. Please come in!" Gu He beckoned to a Yunlan Sect disciple and asked him to lead the guild leader, Fa Ma, to the VIP seats.
"The prince of the Izumo Empire has come with gifts to offer his congratulations."
"The prince of the Heavenly Serpent Kingdom has come to offer his congratulations with gifts."
It must be said that Gu He, the Pill King who has now been promoted to a sixth-grade alchemist, is extremely popular. In addition to being very popular in the Jia Ma Empire and having a huge network of connections, he also has some powerful royal families in the empires near the Jia Ma Empire with whom he has had dealings and cooperation. Therefore, he specially sent someone to come and congratulate him.
In response, Guhe naturally greeted each of them and welcomed these envoys representing the imperial empire. After all, one cannot refuse a smiling face; they had come from afar, so one should give them ample face and courtesy.
Two hours later, the auspicious time of afternoon arrived, and almost all the guests, big and small, had arrived. Yun Shan, the Supreme Elder of Yunlan Sect, who was also Yun Yun's master, a middle-aged man with half-black and half-white sideburns, narrow and rather cold eyes, and a hooked nose, stood up from the high sect master's throne. A powerful aura that belonged to him alone enveloped the entire Yunlan Mountain square.
He then said, "Thank you all for coming to attend the wedding of my disciple Yunyun. The auspicious time has arrived, so let us begin the wedding!"
Upon hearing his call, two beautiful maids reached out to support a tall bride covered by a bright red veil. They followed closely behind, and with the bride's strange, struggling gait, they slowly walked out, standing side by side with Dan Wang Guhe, whose face was beaming with joy but whose features were slightly weathered.
"Is there something strange about this bride?" Almost immediately after glancing at the area where the Mittel family was located, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong frowned and noticed something unusual.
Beside him stood the retired emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, an old man with white hair and beard, also known as Jia Xingtian, the old man in hemp robes, who was leaning on his cane. He nodded in agreement, "Brother Hai, you've noticed it too? It seems that Sect Master Yun doesn't quite agree with this marriage."
Recently, due to Xiao Xuanyuan's simultaneous marriage to Princess Yaoye and his close relationship with Consort Ya of the Mittel family, the relationship between the royal family and the Mittel family has become extremely close and familiar.
"This is someone else's family matter, and I, the Ice Emperor, have no right to interfere." Hai Bodong glanced coldly at Gu He and his bride who were holding a wedding ceremony, and paid them no further attention.
"Hehe, Ice Emperor, you really are a straightforward person," the old man in the hemp robe took a sip of tea, then lowered his voice and leaned closer, saying, "You may not know this, but according to our royal intelligence network, the Yunyun Sect Master is pregnant out of wedlock and already has a three-year-old child. We don't know which wild man she had the child with. Yunshan is using this to force the Yunyun Sect Master to submit."
Beside them, the heads of the other two major families, the Nalan and Mu families, were also eavesdropping. With their intelligence networks, they had naturally heard some rumors, though not as clearly and in detail as the royal family.
"Is that so? If that's true, what a coward that wild man would be if he just watched his woman being married off by Yunshan to someone else and didn't dare to come and steal her away!" Ice Emperor Hai Bodong couldn't help but sneer. Indeed, as he said, he couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, but it didn't matter if he listened.
"Hehe, I don't know about that either. I just heard that before she got pregnant, Sect Master Yun went to the Monster Mountain Range." The old man in the hemp robe raised his cup again and took a sip of the top-quality tea that left a lingering fragrance on his teeth. He was somewhat savoring the taste. However, the shocking news he released made the faces of the family heads next to him look strange.
"According to Elder Jia, could that child be a male demon beast and Sect Master Yun?" At this moment, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong was aroused, after all, such bombshell news was enough to arouse people's gossip.
"Tsk tsk, Ice Emperor, don't talk nonsense, be careful, walls have ears," the old man in the hemp robe said with a profound and unfathomable expression, not continuing. Just releasing this news was enough for everyone to ponder! Unmarried pregnancy, and an affair with a magical beast? If word got out, it would likely shake the world, causing countless discussions, speculations, and controversies.
Just as everyone was looking at each other with strange expressions, the wedding officially began!
"Worship heaven and earth!"
A handsome disciple of the Yunlan Sect, dressed in a bright red ceremonial robe, shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Gu He immediately suppressed the joyful smile on his face, straightened his expression, tidied his clothes, and together with the bride Yun Yun, who was being forcibly supported by two maids, bowed down to the heavens and earth in the large square.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
After the ceremony, the disciple of the master of ceremonies continued to call out.
"Am I really going to marry Gu He today? But my child, Yunxi, is still with Master..." Under the bright red veil, Yun Yun's eyes were bloodshot, and a crystal-clear tear slid down her cheek, crashing onto the hard bluestone ground and shattering into pieces.
At this moment, for some reason, Yun Yun unconsciously recalled the tall, domineering figure of a young man. It was after she was defeated and injured by the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the Monster Mountain Range that she was rescued by a young man.
But by a twist of fate, she ended up having physical intimacy with him, and in the end, due to a misunderstanding, he even bullied her several times. Even though she hated him intensely at the time, so much time has passed, and for some reason, the image of that young man is deeply imprinted in Yun Yun's heart and mind, and she can never forget it.
"Xiao Zhendong, where are you now?" Yun Yun's tears fell uncontrollably. She was about to become a wife, but the boy who had taken her virginity was nowhere to be found. It seemed she would never see him again. Thinking of this, Yun Yun's heart trembled; a mixture of sorrow, longing, and complex emotions mingled within her.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
As her body was restrained and she was forcibly pressed to perform the ritual, Yun Yun felt even more pain in her heart. In particular, her child Yun Xi, who had been her only companion for three years, was still not by her side, nor was the boy she could never forget. With the arrival of this final ritual, Yun Yun's heart shattered into five or six pieces, breaking into pieces.
"Bye!"
"Hurry up and worship!"
Gu He had already bowed at a ninety-degree angle, anticipating this final moment. However, after waiting for a long time, he seemed to discover that the bride, Yun Yun, was clenching her teeth tightly, refusing to bow to him despite being pressed down by the two maids beside her. As a result, the bride's body was taut and straight, like a solid piece of wood.
The Yunlan Sect disciples and guests who witnessed this scene all shouted and cheered, making Yun Yun, a woman who was the sect leader but had no real power, bow down to this helpless, power-driven, secular wedding in Yunshan.
Hearing the shouts of people around her urging each other to bow in prayer, including not only the guests but also many familiar Yunlan Sect disciples, Yun Yun felt a bitter pang in her heart. It seemed that her fate was sealed today!
But deep in Yun Yun's heart, there lingered an unrealistic expectation: that the tall, handsome young man would appear at this farcical, power-driven wedding, forcefully interrupt the ceremony, and take her away. Then she wouldn't have to live such a humiliating and subservient life in the Yunlan Sect.
But would he really appear? Although Yun Yun felt that the hope in her heart was extremely slim, she still refused to bow down. If they really bowed to each other, it would be equivalent to the ceremony being completed. In the eyes of the world, she would be Gu He's true wife, and she would never be able to escape the customs and etiquette!
"Yun'er, have you forgotten Xi'er?" Just as Yun Yun was struggling in her heart, unwilling to give in and become husband and wife with Gu He, an extremely indifferent voice drifted down from the high sect leader's throne and entered her ears.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's body trembled violently. In an instant, as if her vital point had been struck, her entire body became extremely weak and stiff. She was supported by the two maids beside her, and it seemed that she was about to bow to Gu Hecheng and become husband and wife!
"Wait!"
At this critical juncture, a tremendous roar suddenly echoed from the distant horizon, reverberating across the entire summit of Yunlan Mountain. The roar reverberated in everyone's ears, making them ring and instantly bringing them to their senses.
The two maids who were forcibly supporting the bride Yun Yun were directly knocked unconscious by this extremely powerful voice. They collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from their seven orifices, and passed out!
"Aww, you lowly mortal ants, your Dragon Lord has arrived!"
Immediately following, an extremely grand and long dragon roar resounded throughout the entire plaza. This voice was extremely arrogant and domineering, yet its air of contempt for all living beings was extremely domineering and invincible!
In a short while, a huge black shadow, reaching over a thousand feet in length, arrived completely above Yunlan Mountain, obscuring the blazing sun and appearing before the eyes of everyone present.
"Who are you?!"
Upon witnessing how the mere sound had knocked the two maids unconscious, Yun Shan's expression changed drastically. He immediately vanished from his high sect leader's throne and stood in front of Yun Yun, blocking the way for the intruder to steal the bride!
At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan's figure slowly floated down from the dragon's back and landed in the void in front of Yunshan. The pair of golden angel wings on his back shone brightly and flowed with golden light in the sunlight, which was extremely dreamlike and beautiful!
"I am Xiao Zhendong, the fiancé of Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect!" Xiao Xuanyuan spoke with a clear and resounding voice, his words firm and assertive. This name, Xiao Zhendong, was the alias he had used to introduce Yun Yun back in the Monster Mountain Range. As for Yun Yun's alias, it was Yun Zhi. Of course, at this crucial moment, he wouldn't make such a basic mistake; he would simply say Yun Yun.
When they first met Xiao Xuanyuan, the old man in the hemp robe and the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong immediately recognized him. Wasn't this their adopted son-in-law? What? He's now Xiao Zhendong? And he's even come to the Yunlan Sect to steal the bride?! The Nalan and Mu families were also shocked, wondering why the royal family and the Mittel family would allow Xiao Xuanyuan to come and steal the bride?!
Hearing that familiar voice that had haunted her dreams countless times, the bride, Yun Yun, was overjoyed. She reached out and ripped off her bright red veil, revealing a mature, elegant, and exquisitely beautiful face. Her eyes were red, and traces of tears were faintly visible. No longer caring about her current status as sect leader, she ran towards Xiao Xuanyuan in her bright red high heels.
She has suffered so much injustice during this period that her heart is broken.
"Zhendong, take me away!"
A heart-wrenching cry, so plaintive it seemed to break anyone's heart, came from Yun Yun's slightly hoarse mouth. The piercing sound echoed throughout the entire Yunlan Mountain Square, leaving everyone staring in disbelief, wondering what was going on.
Someone actually dared to try and steal the bride at the Yunlan Sect's Grand Wedding! And it seems that the Sect Master, Yun Yun, is quite taken with this act, even abandoning her soon-to-be-married Pill King Gu He and running towards him? Wait a minute, this is extremely unbelievable!
Those who knew some of the inside story, such as the old man in the hemp robe and the Ice Emperor, seemed to have a sudden realization. They had vaguely guessed some of the details. Could it be that Xiao Xuanyuan was the wild man and lover of the Yunyun Warrior? They seemed to have already figured it out.
"Sigh, this kid's talent and strength in alchemy are indeed good, but he's a bit too much of a womanizer! However, he's quite capable; he even managed to hook up with the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect." The old man in the hemp robe and the Ice Emperor exchanged glances, as if they instantly understood each other's thoughts.
"Yun Yun, what are you doing? Come back to me, Medicine King!" Seeing Yun Yun turn around and abandon him, and the swan he had just caught was about to fly away, he immediately reached out and grabbed Yun Yun's arm to stop her from leaving.
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Marriage Robbery - Xiao Yan's Defeat and the Three-Year Agreement
"Dan Wang Gu He, what the hell are you doing? Touching my fiancée, are you looking for death?"
After glancing at the strange looks of everyone around him, and releasing his vast and powerful spiritual perception, Xiao Xuanyuan already knew the groom's identity.
Seeing this guy so shameless, actually touching Yun Yun in front of him, Xiao Xuanyuan was immediately enraged, his face contorted with rage as he glared fiercely at the other party.
However, apart from a few sharp-eyed top experts, no one took Xiao Xuanyuan's anger to heart and instead mocked him for overestimating his abilities.
Especially the disciples of the Yunlan Sect, their foul language practically turned Xiao Xuanyuan into a despicable villain, an egg hitting a rock, utterly ignorant of his own mortality.
"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to come to our Yunlan Sect to steal a bride? Doesn't he know his place?"
"Exactly! You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat, you're crazy, you've really lost your mind!"
"Let our Yunlan Sect's Supreme Elder beat him to a pulp, so he won't come here to show off and swagger around."
Xiao Xuanyuan dismissed the arrogant and reckless words of these young people as mere farts and paid them no heed. However, when he saw that Dan Wang Guhe wanted to force Yun Yun and had two other disciples forcibly seize her, Xiao Xuanyuan could no longer tolerate it.
He leaped forward, wanting to snatch back the woman he longed for, but Yunshan, that old fool who didn't know his own limitations, wouldn't let him have his way. He blocked Xiao Xuanyuan's path again!
This time, a beautiful figure flew out from the direction of the Nalan family and came to Yunshan's side. She looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with disbelief, obviously recognizing Xiao Xuanyuan's identity. She pointed at Xiao Xuanyuan and said.
"Aren't you that good-for-nothing scion of the Xiao family who wanted to stand up for Xiao Yan? I remember now, your name is Xiao Xuanyuan!"
"That's right, it's me. I've come here to settle this matter after fulfilling the three-year agreement. Unexpectedly, I ran into my fiancée, Yun Yun, who was forced by your Yunlan Sect to marry Pill King Gu He. I can't tolerate this, and I must seek justice for her!"
Upon seeing the rather proud and arrogant, yet quite beautiful young woman before him, Xiao Xuanyuan recognized her at a glance—it was none other than Nalan Yanran, the pride of the Nalan family.
"So you're from the Xiao family. Hmph, that good-for-nothing Xiao Yan was defeated three months ago. Do you really want to come here again and bring shame upon your Xiao family?" Upon hearing this, Yun Shan couldn't help but sneer, his eyes fixed on Xiao Xuanyuan with utter mockery.
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly asked, "Is that so?"
Nalan Yanran said with an air of arrogance, "Of course, that good-for-nothing Xiao Yan is no match for me. The saying 'thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river' is just a huge joke."
I still remember three months ago, Xiao Yan, carrying a giant black ruler on his back and wearing a tight black robe, resolutely walked up Yunlan Mountain to challenge Nalan Yanran, the proud daughter of the Yunlan Sect.
Xiao Yan did indeed keep his promise and did not forget the three-year agreement.
The fight was a brutal affair. After Xiao Xuanyuan stripped him of his Red Lotus Karmic Flame, he lost his greatest asset, and his strength declined all the way down to the first-star Dou Ling. Although he managed to recover to the peak of the fourth-star Dou Ling level within a few months through his own efforts and alchemy skills, Nalan Yanran's strength has now reached the eighth-star Dou Ling level, making her more than capable of defeating Xiao Yan.
Especially after losing Elder Yan, the last reliance of his Dou Zong soul strength, Xiao Yan could only passively take the beating. At Yunlan Mountain, he was not only severely beaten by Nalan Yanran, but also ridiculed and humiliated by all the disciples of Yunlan Sect. After that, he was driven off Yunlan Mountain.
From then on, the Xiao family of Wutan City became infamous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, ridiculed by countless commoners and unable to even lift their heads!
Fortunately, Xiao Xuanyuan was still there. Since Xiao Xuanyuan had secretly become the son-in-law of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, and had an inextricable relationship with Mittel's concubine Ya Fei, the smugness of the Xiao family in Wutan City was minimized with the covert support of the two forces. They also spread rumors that the true prodigy of the Xiao family was Xiao Xuanyuan, a genius who was already a third-grade alchemist at a young age and was extremely strong, and that he would definitely be able to defeat Nalan Yanran!
