The palace servants who were attending to the emperor had left sometime earlier.
But Li Muge was preoccupied and didn't notice at all. She sat in the mirror, looking at her familiar yet unfamiliar self.
The things in this world are truly incredible.
She and Yun Qi were mortal enemies before, hating each other to the core.
But they never expected that they could become husband and wife.
Li Muge found it all very fantastical.
Is she really going to marry him? No, wait, is she going to marry Yun Qi?
no.
She was unwilling to accept it.
"What, Guardian, why haven't you changed into your wedding dress yet? Do you not want to marry me?"
Upon hearing Yun Qi's voice, Li Muge hurriedly raised her head, only to have her chin gripped tightly by Yun Qi.
At this moment, Li Muge seemed to see the final battle with Yun Qi in his previous life, where Yun Qi's gloomy expression completely shed the facade of gentle breeze and bright moon he usually used to disguise himself.
Yun Qi's eyes held a sinister glint.
His tone held a hint of disgust as he addressed Li Muge: "Li Muge, if you don't want to marry me, then defeat me."
"I think the Dharma Protector should know very well that only the strong can decide their own destiny, while the weak can only be at the mercy of others."
Yun Qi's low chuckle sent chills down Li Muge's spine.
Her hands, clenched into fists, were so tightly that her long nails dug into her flesh, drawing blood.
But she felt nothing.
yes.
In a way, she and Yun Qi were the same kind of people, both abandoned by their own people.
However, Yun Qi was better at disguising himself than she was.
Thinking of this, Li Muge smiled coldly, drew his sword and drew blood on Yun Qi's face.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Muge struck Yun Qi's shoulder with a palm strike.
Yun Qi released his grip, then grasped Li Muge's arm and used the Buddhist beads to tightly bind Li Muge.
Li Muge didn't take it seriously: "Demon Lord, what are you saying? Everyone in the Demon Realm knows that I am in love with you, so much so that my mind is in turmoil."
"With such a great opportunity, how could I not care about you?" Li Muge tiptoed and nimbly slipped out of Yun Qi's Buddhist beads.
Grabbing the wedding dress on the tray, she swayed and, surprisingly, the fiery red dress fit her perfectly.
Li Muge casually put on the phoenix crown, walked to the bronze mirror, and nonchalantly looked at herself and fiddled with the phoenix crown on her head.
"Demon Lord, I have only married into your family and become your husband. I hope you will not regret it."
Yun Qi's thin lips moved slightly. Back in the Spirit Hunter Valley, he had already realized that Li Muge was a woman that no ordinary person could control.
But it just can't be removed.
"Haha, since even the Dharma Protector has no regrets, then what do I have to regret?"
Yun Qi seemed afraid that Li Muge would escape again.
The wedding hall had been prepared in the Demon Palace long ago, and Li Muge, dressed in her wedding gown, was so beautiful that no one could take their eyes off her.
However, the murderous intent conveyed in the gazes exchanged between the newlyweds was so palpable that no one dared to utter a sound.
The emcee was dumbfounded.
He has presided over nearly a hundred weddings, so this is hardly a marriage between the Demon Lord and the Dharma Protector.
Those who didn't know the situation would probably think they were going to duel, and that one of them had to die.
The heavy headdress made Li Muge feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she always held her head high with pride.
He refused to yield even slightly to Yunqi.
She held a round fan in her hand, using it to cover her face.
Embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, Li Muge sneered inwardly.
Yun Qi is nothing more than a dragon.
It's not a real dragon.
Furthermore, so what if she's a real dragon? Having been reborn, she originally wanted to let go of her ambitions.
She was living a carefree life in the City of Extreme Evil, but that bastard Yun Qi insisted on dragging her along. Since that was the case, he wouldn't be polite to her.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
"This Dharma Protector does not bow."
Li Muge decisively tore off the red veil covering her face, holding a round fan in her hand: "Fool, this protector has never believed in heaven and earth in this life, so how could I possibly worship them?"
“Yes, Dharma Protector, this is how etiquette should be.”
The emcee said awkwardly.
Li Muge chuckled softly, her bright red nail polish staining her nails: "What, do I need you to teach me what to do?"
"I dare not." The master of ceremonies glanced at the Demon Lord, then lowered his head and shrank back.
Li Muge walked up to the high seat step by step.
The incident caused a huge uproar among those around them.
Niu Zhan thought that his protector had read his letter, finally understood, and decided to seize the position of Demon Lord.
"Demon Lord, I remember you said before that if you marry me, the wedding ceremony will be conducted entirely according to my rules."
“However, I have a rule on my side: the husband who marries must serve his wife a cup of tea and kowtow to her; otherwise, even if the ceremony is completed, the marriage is not legally valid.”
"Li Muge, don't go too far. No matter what, the Demon Lord's status is still above yours and mine. How can you humiliate the Demon Lord like that?"
The rigid and rule-abiding King Qincheng stepped forward to speak on Yun Qi's behalf.
The others, including the King of Yecheng, watched the spectacle from the sidelines.
"King Qincheng, your words make it seem as if I am deliberately making things difficult for the Demon Lord. But, this protector is also in a difficult position."
Li Muge sat gracefully on the high seat, lightly tapping her forehead with her fan.
"That's the rule on my side. Since the Demon Lord is willing to disregard his own status and position to marry me, he certainly won't care, right?"
“You… Li Muge, you’re so arrogant, aren’t you afraid of getting your comeuppance one day?”
Li Muge lost her patience, put down her fan, and the atmosphere turned cold and hostile.
"Old fool, I advise you to stop talking so much. Haven't you learned your lesson from last time? Retribution? How laughable! You've already become a demon, what retribution are you afraid of?"
"Anyway, if the Demon Lord is unwilling to kowtow and offer tea to this Protector, then the ceremony is not considered complete, and this Protector is not considered the Demon Lord's wife."
No matter what King Qincheng said, Li Muge remained unfazed, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
Anyway, her reputation in the Three Realms can't be too bad.
Yun Qi lowered his head and chuckled: "King Qincheng, please, there's no need for you to argue for me."
"It's nothing more than kowtowing to the lady and serving tea."
"Demon Lord, how could you...?"
King Qincheng was disappointed in Yun Qi, who was so cowardly that he didn't even care about his dignity as a man.
"Alright, King Qincheng, stop talking. This is a matter between me and the Dharma Protector."
Yun Qi, dressed in a black wedding robe, lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed directly to Li Muge.
Li Muge was startled and sat up. Her original intention was just to make Yun Qi back down.
I didn't expect Yun Qi to actually ship them.
The people in the hall were talking amongst themselves, all of them revealing their contempt and disdain for the Demon Lord.
Unexpectedly, Yun Qi would go to such lengths to hold onto the position of Demon Lord.
After kowtowing once, Yun Qi stood up and took the tea that had been prepared from the maid's tray.
Step by step, I climbed the stairs.
At this moment, an unnamed fear arose in Li Muge's heart, making her shudder.
"Madam, please have some tea." Yun Qi's eyes were deep, his voice was affectionate, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved.
