Chapter 46 You dare humiliate me like this when you call me your husband, Shen Que…
"Gong Ziyu...Gong Ziyu?" Jiang Yuemian murmured, then suddenly remembered that this name belonged to her fourth senior sister's nephew.
Shen Que nodded in Jiang Yuemian's shocked gaze.
"That's really... how come the two of them are together?"
Shen Que: "I don't know either."
Hearing that he didn't know either, Jiang Yuemian became interested: "Didn't my fourth senior sister say anything?"
That shouldn't be the case. Her fourth senior sister treats her nephew like a precious gem, afraid he might melt in her mouth or break in her hands. If she finds out that Qianshan Zui has kidnapped her nephew, she'll definitely make a huge scene.
"Fourth Uncle... stormed the Venerable's residence, and even Third Uncle couldn't stop him." Shen Que thought, not only could he not stop him, Third Uncle didn't stop him at all, and just let Third Uncle beat up Venerable Han Liu.
Because of the underhanded nature of his actions, Venerable Hanliu didn't retaliate. Even with his cultivation level, it took him a month to recover, demonstrating just how ruthless his third uncle was.
To be honest, no one is to blame but the two of them. It's a match made in heaven that somehow ended up together, and they just couldn't be separated.
Thinking of this, Shen Que saw that Jiang Yuemian had already lost interest, so he stopped talking about it. He figured that his master would understand when he saw them.
He sat down next to Jiang Yuemian, his eyes fixed on her, and spoke of what he considered important: "Master, shouldn't we inform our uncles and aunts in advance about this coronation ceremony?"
His uncles and aunts already know his feelings for his master, and they also know that the two of them have been secretly having an affair for a long time. If he doesn't tell his uncles and aunts, they will definitely think that he is a bad demon who has fallen in love with someone else. Alas, if he has a bad impression, how can he marry his master in the future? He probably won't even be able to pass their test.
Shen Que was worried, and a trace of sorrow appeared on his face.
"Of course we can't tell them! It's better to surprise them."
Shen Que: "I'm afraid it will be a shock."
Jiang Yuemian didn't pick up on that topic; she wanted to discuss something else with Aque: "Aque, do you remember how I died?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Que could hardly bear it. Of course, he knew that when he found his master, his master's body was covered with swords. He didn't know how much pain his master was in at that time, enduring the agony of being pierced by a thousand arrows.
Shen Que gave a muffled "hmm".
Jiang Yuemian spoke again: "Did you find anything near my corpse?" For example, the two mutated flies, and the demons...
Shen Que understood what Jiang Yuemian wanted to ask, but he was too exhausted and heartbroken to see anything around him. When he returned to the Shannan Sect, he carried his master to bed and then fainted from exhaustion. When he woke up, a long time had passed.
Even though a long time had passed, he still investigated the truth behind his master's death. After all, he simply couldn't believe that his master would commit suicide. Yes, suicide, because the sword stuck in his master's body was clearly her natal sword.
Despite investigating for so many years, he still found nothing, which fully demonstrates that the person behind this has far-reaching ambitions and influence far beyond ordinary people.
There wasn't a single clue, which was extremely strange and impossible.
Thinking of this, Shen Que asked, "Does Master want to say something to me?"
"That's right, I'm trapped in the God-Exorcising Formation."
A God-Exorcising Array? Shen Que was shocked. Even though he had never heard of it, he could understand it just by hearing the name of the array.
Seeing Shen Que's shocked expression, Jiang Yuemian patted Shen Que's head and then smiled: "Your master might actually be a god."
Jiang Yuemian smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
If she is a god, then who exactly is she? During the hundreds of years she has been asleep, certain images have always appeared in her mind that she cannot ignore. So, let her see who the helper behind the scenes is at this coronation ceremony.
......
"Have you heard? The Demon Lord is going to marry the Demon Queen!"
"Oh, how could I not have heard? But back then, the Demon Lord went through so much trouble for the Immortal Lord, how could you just let it go like that?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid of being overheard? Who knows? If you ask me, even if it's still fresh in our minds, it's been over five hundred years. We should have forgotten about it long ago."
"Alas, fate is truly unpredictable; a man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!"
Listening to the conversation between the two people around him, Xiang Chaosheng clenched his fists. How could Shen Que humiliate Xiao Wu like this? Did he think they were dead?
I really shouldn't have believed his nonsense.
Seeing Xiang Chaosheng's ashen face, Gong Youning, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at his expression and said, "Perhaps there's some misunderstanding." Shen Que didn't seem like a heartless person, so it must be a rumor circulating outside.
"Hey everyone, from the south or the north, come take a look! Our Lord is going to marry the Demon Queen! Everyone come and collect your spirit stones!"
"......"
Gong Youning slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "This is outrageous!"
Her movements were so exaggerated that they immediately attracted the attention of those around her. Xiang Chaosheng quickly pulled her down to sit, and only then did the people around her turn their attention away.
"Shh, look at your temper, it's so unpredictable. You were just trying to convince me there was some misunderstanding." Xiang Chaosheng sighed helplessly. His wife's temper really hadn't changed at all. Every time she got angry, he would lose his temper.
Gong Youning: "Misunderstanding? With all these little demons here, what misunderstanding could there be?"
She was referring to the little demons who had just been handing out spirit stones on the street. Their city was adjacent to the demon realm, and since there was a joyous occasion for the demon race, they were scattering spirit stones in the surrounding cities so that others could also share in the good fortune.
However, what is a joyous occasion for others is an insult to them. She thought Shen Que was so affectionate that he didn't even care about the teacher-student relationship, and now it's being spread that he's going to be crowned empress.
Ah, the corners of a man's mouth.
Gong Youning even started to dislike Chaosheng.
"......"
Xiang Chaosheng: "Youyou, how can I be the same as others? You know me. Although I am dashing and charming, I never flirt with other women. You are the only one in my heart and eyes."
Gong Youning gave up.
......
Meanwhile, Ji Nianzi had already received a telepathic message from Shen Quefa, and was wondering how to tell Shang Yi when Shang Yi's voice came from behind her.
"Is it Shen Que who sent you this message?" The eerie voice made Ji Nianzi shudder.
Before he could explain, Shang Yi had already turned and left, only verbally declaring, "You, move out to sleep."
"..." Master!
Damn you, Shen Que! Didn't you love the Immortal Venerable to death?!
......
"Although I am wearing a wedding dress, may I call you husband, Ah Que?" Inside the magnificent palace, Jiang Yuemian sat in front of a bronze mirror. She had already put on makeup and was wearing a bright red wedding dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and became more and more satisfied. She even had the idea of teasing Shen Que and wanted to see how he would react when she said this.
Upon hearing this, Shen Que's face flushed red. The Immortal Venerable's voice was melodious and deliberately soft. He felt as if his entire body was floating in the air, about to lose his bearings.
So he could only force himself to say, "Husband..." After saying that, his face looked incredibly red.
Seeing Shen Que's expression, Jiang Yuemian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She thought Ah was really too cute; how could there be such a cute person?
After Jiang Yuemian finished laughing, Shen Que said helplessly to her, "Master, you always tease me." She just loved seeing him at a loss.
"But Ah-Chu doesn't like it~"
Shen Que: "I like it." He likes everything about his master.
Jiang Yuemian was satisfied.
001 has recently become accustomed to their antics and no longer yells like she did at the beginning. After all, yelling is useless and will only make Jiang Yuemian favor Shen Que more, since Shen Que is the best at playing the victim and always manages to make Yuemian very happy.
Soon, the time for the coronation ceremony arrived. Although there was no rule in the demon race that people could not see each other three days before the wedding, they could not appear together during the ceremony. Instead, the demon lord had to go to the front of the hall first to bow to everyone, which was also a way of thanking the guests.
When things were almost ready, the Demon Lord was able to greet the Demon Queen amidst the crowd, after which the two of them would perform the ceremony together.
It was at this moment that Shen Que told Jiang Yuemian that he would go ahead first and come back to pick up his master later.
Jiang Yuemian waved his hand, telling him to go.
......
There were so many distinguished guests in the front hall that there weren't enough seats, so extra chairs had to be added temporarily.
As for why Shen Que had such a grand display, it was because Shen Que had perfected the art of civil service examinations over the past century. Not to mention the library, how many libraries in the cultivation world were repaired by Shen Que's people? They were countless. It was these achievements that made Shen Que admired by everyone.
However, some people came to see what was going on behind the scenes: the former disciple of the Moon-Gazing Immortal Venerable, who claimed to love his master, was holding a coronation ceremony today. They wanted to find out what was going on.
Some were even followers of the Moon-Gazing Immortal Venerable, who came to cause trouble for Shen Que. After all, Shen Que had been so high-profile before, and now he had done such a thing, so of course they wanted to seek justice for their god.
Considering all these factors, the demon race is now in such a lively state.
Shen Que first completed the ceremony in the center of the red carpet according to the etiquette of the demon race, and then toasted each table one by one.
After all the offerings were made, it was time to welcome the Empress Dowager.
Gong Youning and Xiang Chaosheng also arrived. Gong Youning's anger had not yet subsided, and Xiang Chaosheng was advising her: "Youyou, don't worry. Let's see what this kid Shen Que is going to do next. If he really creates some kind of demon queen, I will definitely not let him off easily."
After much persuasion, Xiang Chaosheng finally managed to calm Gong Youning down and save some face for Shen Que.
After all, he also wanted to see what Shen Que was really up to, since his previous affection for Xiao Wu was genuine.
Finally, Shen Que, beaming with joy, came out to greet them, and the two eagerly awaited his arrival.
Before long, Shen Que led someone out of the door. The two held hands, and it was clear that Shen Que cherished this person very much.
Xiang Chaosheng looked up again, and what he saw stunned him. Then he flew into a rage, slamming his hand on the table and standing up before Gong Youning could react. He sneered, "Chen Que, did you find a fake?"
How dare he humiliate Xiao Wu like that?
