descendant of the Jiang family of Jinling
Chapter Fifteen
At this point, the options available to Zhou Yulin are truly limited.
"Yes, I pushed you. So what?" To everyone's surprise, the bride took off her veil without hesitation, revealing her captivating eyes and a striking red dress that immediately caught everyone's attention. Her cascading black hair was styled into an exquisite bun. Because of the many hair ornaments on her head, Zhou Yulin couldn't easily turn her head to look at the woman on the ground, who was presumably Qin Xin.
The matchmaker looked at the scene before her and wanted to say something, but since she didn't call for a halt, it must have been because she had received his approval.
The bride and groom looked very well-matched standing together.
The phrase "made in heaven" is a perfect match.
Gu Ling, a seasoned connoisseur of good looks, had a keen eye. However, he narrowed his eyes, wondering, "Why hasn't the main character of this story appeared yet?"
“It’s all baseless accusations. It’s one thing for my sister to slander me, but… when was my opinion ever asked for in this marriage? I’m just an illegitimate daughter in the family, not valued by anyone. If my sister hadn’t refused to marry, what merit would I have been to become a substitute and marry the prince in her place? How could I have persuaded my father and mother?”
Zhou Yulin wiped away non-existent tears. Oh well, she couldn't squeeze any out. In the end, she covered her face and lowered her head, sobbing, "Waaaaah..."
Looking at the woman in front of her who had initially been so confident in admitting her wrongdoing, Qin Xin suddenly felt that she might have a point.
No, I'm the villain!
Why am I suddenly feeling sorry for the other person?
Qin Xin quickly snapped out of her daze, clutching her protruding belly and gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. "Earth, what kind of earth are you if you can't distinguish between good and bad? Heaven, what kind of heaven are you if you misjudge a marriage!" It seems Qin Xin really is attracting ghosts. As soon as she said this, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly ripped through the sky, shattering the tranquility of the clear blue sky.
Dark clouds began to gather, and a strong wind blew up the hems of everyone's clothes inside the house. The wind intensified, the clouds surged, and a downpour was imminent.
Faced with the oppressive atmosphere of dark clouds looming over the city, Qin Xin was almost caught off guard. Something seemed off. Even her acting wasn't this realistic. But before she could think any further, her mind was completely overwhelmed.
Zhou Yulin secretly praised Qin Xin in her heart, saying that she was quite amazing and that the performance was really immersive and had a strong sense of experience.
As a result, after she stood up, a gust of wind howled behind her, making a rustling sound, and the cotton in her stomach fell out, but something seemed a little off. In fact, not only her, but all the other extras seemed a little off as well. The matchmaker, who had been looking at the newlyweds with kindness, now had a deep, eerie look in her eyes.
Zhou Yulin looked around and found that only she, Gu Ling, and Chen Muyao were still normal.
"I hate mistresses so much!"
Qin Xin seemed possessed, her eyes filled with disgust and hatred as she stared at Zhou Yulin. Zhou Yulin tried to ease the tension, pretending not to see the other's burning gaze, and nodded in agreement, "Actually, I also hate mistresses!"
The woman laughed so hard she bent over, her shrill voice like a demon from hell, "Shut up! What kind of empathy is this? Those who haven't experienced it will never know the pain. Everyone seems to care about me and comfort me, but behind my back they're all making fun of me. Tears?"
"Hahaha, those fake tears make me want to vomit! If I were truly pitiful, I wouldn't let myself relive this nightmare over and over again. None of you deserve to live peacefully in this world."
"You... want to comfort me, is that it? Then experience my pain firsthand, sister." She used Qin Xin's clear eyes to create a seductive smile, eerie yet alluring. A beam of black light shone into Zhou Yulin's forehead.
Then, Zhou Yulin's jade pendant also emitted a faint golden light, which entered Zhou Yulin's spiritual veins. "Hey—little girl, I told you the road is dangerous. You don't have any spiritual power, so don't fight them head-on."
"Look at how you almost got into danger with just a simple spell from someone else. Don't you think you're too weak?" Zhou Yulin, stubborn as ever, refused to nod and chose to remain silent.
"Alright, I've made myself clear. There are only three possibilities for cultivation. Whether you succeed or not depends on yourself. I've taken the hit for you this time. From now on, good luck." Zhou Yulin opened her eyes, waking up from the pitch-black dream.
"How could you..."
Zhou Yulin moved her wrist and suddenly remembered the talisman that the senior had drawn for her before she left, using his spiritual power. Alas, there was nothing she could do; she was always being bullied. So Zhou Yulin drew hundreds and thousands of talismans for herself to keep on hand.
"Alright, now it's your turn."
Zhou Yulin pulled out a talisman from his sleeve, interlocked his index and middle fingers to hold the dark yellow talisman, threw it forward, and chanted, "Thundercloud, fall!"
Gu Ling and Chen Muyao were held back by the others who were being controlled. Gu Ling had no time to take care of himself, but Chen Muyao kept an eye on Zhou Yulin's situation to make sure that he didn't die there.
Of the three, Chen Muyao faced the most opponents and was the most at ease.
Stop when you've made a move, without harming anyone.
However, Chen Muyao looked at the woman in the red wedding dress on the stage and wondered if this good-for-nothing could really handle it.
The admiring glances from others didn't register on Chen Muyao's face at all.
The way he looked at Zhou Yulin was no different from how he looked at a sword manual.
"Damn it!" Qin Xin couldn't help but curse. Although the lightning didn't strike her, it did damage her clothes.
This meager fighting strength was something Zhou Yulin hadn't expected. She looked away and said awkwardly, "If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"
Enraged, Qin Xin brandished her claws and slashed at Zhou Yulin's face. As expected, Zhou Yulin knew she wouldn't believe her.
She hurriedly pulled out a defensive talisman; its golden glow could withstand ten of the opponent's attacks. After ten attacks, she pulled out another identical defensive talisman.
The relentless barrage of attacks exhausted Qin Xin. She was tired, and even more eager to curse, "Have you no shame? What kind of reputable sect do you think you are? All you do is hide inside? If you're so capable, come out and fight me fair and square!"
Sitting on the ground, Zhou Yulin was very direct, "Have you no shame? I'm just a mortal, and if I stand there, I'll be a living target. You talk so high and mighty, but I'm amazed by your shamelessness."
"You even called me shameless. You probably didn't think before you spoke, did you? No, how could a ghost like you still have such a sophisticated thing as a brain? After so many years of disuse, it's a miracle you haven't degenerated. You have evolved, though. But when it comes to shamelessness, you're the most shameless I've ever seen. You're shameless to the core, shameless to the extreme." After saying that, Zhou Yulin turned her head and saw an unexpected person standing beside her with a sword, who had been listening for who knows how long.
She closed her eyes, abandoning all dignity, pointed at Qin Xin, and cried out innocently and loudly, "Husband—she bullied me!"
"This is outrageous! She even insulted me! Waaaaah, I'm so upset—"
Chen Mu twitched the corner of his lips: Heh, I didn't see the sadness, but the gloating was a perfect performance. You really are a menace that will live on for a thousand years.
Moreover, how did this person manage to pronounce those two words so smoothly?
Zhou Yulin said, "Don't ask, just answer. I've evolved too."
Qin Xin had never seen anyone so prone to making false accusations. The other person had clearly won the entire time, yet they turned around and complained that she had been bullied. Qin Xin felt like she was choking on blood. "You bitch! What nonsense are you spouting! Who bullied whom! Say that again!"
Qin Xin has completely lost her mind.
The spiritual energy struck relentlessly, wave after wave, like whips lashing against the light barrier.
The power, approaching that of a Golden Core cultivator, made Zhou Yulin truly feel a sense of pressure.
After all, none of the talismans in her hand could withstand a single blow from a Golden Core cultivator.
At this critical moment, the protagonist finally makes his appearance!
With a deafening roar, the protagonist descended from the sky. When the black spiritual energy touched the other's clothes, it dispersed naturally like mist.
He's so handsome! He's so handsome!
Zhou Yulin didn't think so, but the person in front of her was embodying that phrase, literally on a physical level.
He looked at Zhou Yulin's expressionless face, a smile that was three parts disdain, four parts nonchalance, and two parts wicked charm. "Woman, from now on you don't need to be strong anymore, because now your strength has arrived."
Zhou Yulin said without exaggeration that this person's gaze was even more intense than Wu Chi's. The way he looked at people was as if he were looking at himself in a mirror, and his whole body exuded an aura of domineering arrogance.
"You dare touch my woman? What's your surname?"
Qin Xin was stunned. Where did this clown come from? "Clown, I advise you to show me some respect."
"Very well, it's dawn, it's time to bankrupt the little family."
Zhou Yulin: Brother, is it possible that the "clown" comment was an insult to you, not an answer?
"Enough with the nonsense, take this!"
Qin Xin was really furious. They all think I'm bad, right? I'll show them what I'm capable of.
Qin Xin is indeed quite something; her two spiritual energy attacks looked much stronger than before. Zhou Yulin looked at the man two meters away from her, and as the killing move was about to land, the man put his hands in his pockets and still acted indifferent.
This made Zhou Yulin wonder if he really wasn't a crazy lunatic, but a hermit master.
"Woman, I admit you've successfully caught my attention. However, this is my stage. Do you think you can escape my absolute territory?"
Absolute territory!?
This term might be unfamiliar to others, but it was certainly not unfamiliar to Zhou Yulin. Back then, Xu Zuiyue joined the sect using this very move, Absolute Domain. It was simply a technique that allowed her to exert absolute suppression on her opponent within a specific range. It was hard to imagine how invincible this move would be if used on the battlefield.
With a smile, Bking opened his eyes. His emerald green pupils reflected the coldly smirking face opposite him. His silver hair was covered by snow, which intertwined and transformed into a hood. Crystal snowflakes adorned the cloak, and the furry edges brushed against his pale, bloodless face. The killing move stopped before his brow.
With silver hair and blue eyes, this person was actually from the Jiang family of Jinling.
