The ninth day has arrived, and the mountain god is getting married. Suxian Mountain looks joyous, but in reality, not many people are truly happy.

Leng Yue and Qian Chen, dressed in their finest attire, rode on auspicious clouds to the Marriage Cliff to exchange vows, amidst the murmurs and chatter of the crowd.

"The bride is quite pretty, but I've never seen her before?"

"What's so good about it? What kind of eyes do you have? Have you heard? The mountain god is going to marry a good-for-nothing. I really don't know what the mountain god is thinking."

"It really is beautiful..."

"Go away, I know, I know. I heard it's because she looks like the mountain god's former lover. Otherwise, how could it have been her turn?"

"That's right, if you ask me, no one can compare to the princess. Our princess is beautiful and kind, I don't know why the mountain god would choose someone of unknown origin!"

"I heard that the princess didn't take a liking to the mountain god, so..."

"Really?"

"Really, think about it, doesn't the princess always ignore the mountain god?"

"Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember it a little."

…………

Qianchen reached out and grasped Lengyue's hand, and Lengyue and Qianchen smiled at each other.

The mountain god's wedding only needs to be reported to the Marriage Cliff; no master of ceremonies is required. Therefore, the vows of the two people are needed as proof at this time.

"Today, Qianchen marries Lengyue. For all eternity, Lengyue is all I need!" Qianchen raised his right hand and made his vow, then placed his hand on the Marriage Cliff.

Seeing that Qian Chen used his real name, Leng Yue followed suit, saying, "Today, Leng Yue marries Qian Chen, with heaven and earth as witness. From this day forward until the end of time, I will only have Qian Chen."

After Leng Yue finished speaking, she placed her hand on the Marriage Cliff and exchanged a smile with Qian Chen. A dragon and a phoenix appeared on the cliff, intertwined and rising until they disappeared from sight.

Then, the mimosa trees on the Marriage Cliff suddenly burst into bloom, clusters of flowers, incredibly beautiful. Their vows appeared on the cliff face, then vanished, leaving only their names etched there.

The area around the Marriage Cliff was crowded with people, and the sight of this scene caused another uproar.

"Look! The Marriage Cliff has accepted them!"

"How could this happen? I thought they wouldn't be recognized by the Marriage Cliff..."

"That's right, I feel so sorry for the princess. All these years, she's been waiting in vain!"

"Hey, what are you doing here again? I've already told you, it's the princess who doesn't want the mountain god..."

"...I don't believe it!"

"...Whatever makes you happy."

…………

Among the crowd, the angrier was none other than Ying. His fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot, he kept repeating, "Why? Why?"

In the distant jungle, a woman continued to secretly observe everything at the Marriage Cliff. It was none other than Princess Yu Luo of the Bamboo Fungus tribe. Her fingernails dug deep into her maid's flesh, her face contorted in pain, as she whispered, "Why?"

"Your...Princess..." The maid wanted to say something, but she was in too much pain to speak.

Jing'er, standing behind Yu Luo, looked at her and whispered, "Princess, we're outside; your image is important."

Yu Luo viciously grabbed the maid beside her again, but this time she covered it with her sleeve, and put on an impeccable smile.

The maid's face turned pale with pain, but Yu Luo smiled perfectly and threatened in a low voice, "Smile for me, or you'll face the consequences."

Jing'er followed behind them, unable to suppress a shiver. She was constantly thankful that she hadn't stood next to the princess, otherwise she would be the one suffering now.

Yu Luo suddenly turned around as she was walking, startling Jing'er, who quickly bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Princess?"

"Go and fetch Bai Zhu!" Yu Luo wore a perfect fake smile, but it gave off an extremely terrifying feeling.

Jing'er readily agreed and then vanished in a flash. A short while later, Bai Shu appeared before Yu Luo.

"What are your orders, Princess?" Bai Shu asked with unusual respect.

"You may all step back and remain vigilant." Yu Luo waved her hand, and the maids left. The maids who had been held captive by her were especially relieved and quickly retreated.

However, the maid left too quickly, which displeased Yu Luo. Yu Luo pointed a finger, and a wisp of black energy entered the maid's body, after which she softly collapsed to the ground.

Jing'er and the others remained expressionless, quickly lifting the maid and leaving. They weren't truly unaffected, but becoming the princess's maid meant being prepared to die.

How many have there been? Aside from Jing'er, countless people have come and gone from their place here. But on this Immortal Mountain, they are powerless to resist and can only resign themselves to fate.

Jing'er and the others quickly disposed of the body and then quietly stood guard around. They stood to the side, keeping their noses down and their mouths closed, not daring to eavesdrop on a single word.

After dealing with one of them, Yu Luo seemed to feel much better. She glanced around and then started talking to Bai Shu.

"What's going on? Why haven't we succeeded in taking over Su Xian Mountain yet? How come that good-for-nothing Su Yue has suddenly become so powerful?" Yu Luo was very unwilling. It was clearly someone she didn't want, a good-for-nothing, so why could he suddenly be happy? How dare they?

Bai Shu gazed greedily at Yu Luo's face, took a deep breath, and respectfully replied, "Princess, what are your plans? Bai Shu will go through fire and water to do it for you!"

Yu Luo nodded in satisfaction, "Bai Shu, I knew I made the right choice in coming to you. You truly are the person I trust most!"

When Bai Shu heard the phrase "the person I trust most," her eyes lit up, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She looked very excited. "Yes, whatever the princess asks me to do, Bai Shu will do it even if it costs her her life!"

"Come closer," Yu Luo whispered in Bai Shu's ear.

Bai Zhu was first excited, then solemn, and finally his expression became serious.

"What? You can't do it?" Yu Luo mocked Bai Shu, displeased, when she saw his expression change. He'd been so confident and guaranteed it before, but now he's failing at the crucial moment?

"Bai Shu will definitely do it!" Bai Shu didn't care about Yu Luo's attitude. He just gave her a deep look and then accepted the task with a death wish.

"But, Princess, could you grant Bai Shu a request?" Bai Shu looked at Yu Luo expectantly.

"Speak quickly!" Yu Luo was a little impatient. She was still waiting for the result and to see that despicable couple make a fool of themselves!

Bai Shu hesitated for a moment, then, seeing Yu Luo's face growing increasingly grim, gritted his teeth and said, "Bai Shu wishes to receive the princess's personal handkerchief as a keepsake!"

Yu Luo's eyes were full of sarcasm. She wanted to say, "Are you worthy?" but in the end she said, "You just wait!"

Yu Luo called Jing'er over, asked her for a handkerchief, and handed it to Bai Shu. Bai Shu was overjoyed and carefully placed the handkerchief to his chest. Perhaps Bai Shu was too excited, because he didn't notice that the corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with bamboo instead of bamboo fungus.

After Bai Shu left, Yu Luo snorted coldly, "What a toad trying to eat swan meat! Let's go!"

Jing'er watched Bai Shu leave with her handkerchief, her feelings complicated. She knew Bai Shu had always loved the princess, but did Bai Shu know that the princess had always been using him?

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Marriage Cliff, Leng Yue and Qian Chen, having completed their wedding ceremony, were completely unaware that danger was about to befall them...
