Ji Kingdom, capital city.
A wedding banquet is underway.
The streets were bustling with activity.
"There's a wedding banquet today where you can eat for free!"
"Really? Which wealthy and powerful family is it for the wedding?"
"The King's little princess is going to marry General Si Nanba!"
"Heh, what do you mean by 'marrying down'? General Si Nanba is the number one expert in my Ji Kingdom, wielding immense power and influence. How can a powerless little princess like her be worthy of being called 'marrying down'?"
"That's right, that's right. Without General Si Nanba's support, their royal family probably wouldn't be able to hold on!"
"Alas, it's such a pity that such a beautiful princess has to marry..."
"Watch your words! To speak ill of such a wicked person... are you out of your mind?!"
...
On this bustling street.
A man in black walked by slowly, as if the noise around him didn't exist.
The man's face was hidden beneath a black robe, his tall and straight figure accentuated by his black and gold attire, and a long sword was tightly gripped in his hand.
He was not a swordsman.
He's just taken a liking to swords lately, that's all.
"She's here! She's here!" someone shouted.
People on both sides of the street craned their necks to watch the wedding procession slowly approaching from the direction of the palace.
This wedding car was incredibly luxurious—
Curtains made of luxurious black gauze, adorned with exquisite black treasures that shimmer with spiritual light;
Four imposing mythical beasts rode ahead, pulling the wedding carriage slowly forward;
Around the wedding procession, numerous beautiful maids held ceremonial objects.
The air was filled with the pleasant sounds of musical instruments, and the ground was covered with beautiful flowers.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a marriage between royalty and a great general, it is truly magnificent!"
"As expected of a palace maid, she is truly exceptionally beautiful!"
"Heh, you're really making a fuss over nothing! If a mere palace maid is considered exceptionally beautiful, then what is Princess Meiling? A celestial being descended to earth?!"
"Hmph, have you seen it before?"
"Haha, that's for sure. When Princess Meiling returned back then, she stayed at one of my inns!"
"Is this Enchantress Princess truly a celestial being descended to earth?"
The streets were abuzz with discussion, as everyone craned their necks, trying to peek inside the wedding car at the stunningly beautiful woman.
But,
Dark veils fell from all sides, enveloping the wedding carriage. Only a blurry figure could be seen, but the ethereal beauty within the veils remained unseen.
But it is this upright posture of kneeling that is enough to arouse people's imagination.
"Just by looking at her figure, one can tell that Princess Meiling is a celestial being!"
"I've heard that Princess Meiling's mother was that... infamous succubus back in the day."
"Stop talking! Stop talking! I cried for two whole days and two nights when such a beauty died... She was my first dream girl."
"Sigh, no wonder Si Nanba wanted to marry Princess Meiling. If it were me, I would gladly give up my position as general!"
"..."
No one noticed,
The aloof swordsman in black robes suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He glanced sideways at the wedding car.
Only when the woman in the wedding car glanced at him did he resume walking and quickly merge into the crowd.
A man in black robes, a wedding car.
The two passed each other by in a leisurely manner.
...
Inside the wedding car.
"That is..."
Ji Meiling was zoning out when she sensed a gaze that made her inexplicably uneasy, so she abruptly turned her head to look.
But all that could be seen was a tall, straight back.
She recognized that figure from behind.
"Moye?"
Her alluring face, which had always been cold, now showed a hint of emotion.
She struggled to get up, but was trapped by the magic array inside the carriage and could not get up.
They could only watch helplessly as the figure quickly merged into the crowd and disappeared...
"Is it just my imagination..." she murmured softly, then knelt down on the ground, somewhat dejected.
Almost two years have passed since I left him.
But these two years felt like an eternity to Ji Meiling.
Upon returning to her motherland, she did not experience the joy of homecoming, but instead became embroiled in intrigue and power struggles.
However, she had expected this.
She knew that if she wanted to subdue the Ji Kingdom and put power in the hands of the main Ji clan, she had to endure these conspiracies and schemes.
actually,
She didn't care about the so-called power of the Ji Kingdom.
All she wanted was to place the crown on his head herself...
In terms of strength, she was only at the second-grade King Realm, barely able to defend herself;
She was confident that her strategic acumen was second to none.
However, her foundation is still too shallow...
They had been fighting for nearly two years against the king's uncle who coveted the throne and the general who coveted him.
She ultimately lost!
Their cultivation was sealed and suppressed within this wedding procession, which was then sent to the residence of General Si Nanba for their marriage.
Once Si Nanba gets what he wants, he will lead a large army to support his uncle, a member of a collateral branch of the royal family, in taking the throne.
"sorry……"
Ji Meiling murmured, two lines of clear tears streaming down her face.
I closed my eyes and remained silent for a long time.
When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with a cold glint.
"I will not marry anyone else; I belong to only one person."
On her wedding day, she will attempt to kill Si Nanba.
Whether she succeeded or failed, she committed suicide.
"Am I ultimately destined to be this way?"
"Indeed, I am nothing more than a succubus... a succubus who can only please men, that's all."
Ji Meiling gave a self-deprecating laugh.
If she hadn't met Mo Xie, she might have accepted her fate in despair.
